After Bynum committed two fouls, the first quarter ended quickly.
25-38 The Los Angeles team trailed by 13 points in the first quarter.
If it weren't for Kobe's outburst in the second half of the quarter, scoring eight points in a row, the Laker would have trailed by more than 20 points.
Now, it could be said that Kobe was carrying the entire team.
Zhang Yang watched from the sidelines and could not help but exclaim.
He was indeed the man closest to God.
Although he was also known as Milan's Little Blacksmith, he was really terrifying when he showed his might.
That kind of victorious gaze made one's heart tremble.
In the second quarter, Zen Master decided to let Gasol play to defend against Yao Ming. He couldn't defend anyway. At least Gasol could pass the ball.
Bynum was a complete center who ate pancakes.
However, Yao Ming did not play in the second quarter.
After Yao Ming finished the first quarter, Zhang Yang noticed that Yao Ming's stamina was depleting very quickly during the break.
After a full quarter, his stamina would go from 60/60 to 40/60, and his efficiency would start to drop.
Therefore, some people said that Yao Ming could only be considered a superstar in the first quarter. In the last quarter, he was not physically strong enough and was only at the level of an ordinary star player.
Even if he had a purple tactical card that was completely compatible with him, there was no way to save Yao Ming's stamina.
Therefore, Zhang Yang decided to let Yao Ming rest since he was leading by 13 points in the first quarter.
Furthermore, Zhang Yang could use an energy bar on Yao Ming in this round. Last time, Zhang Yang had drawn a 10 Stamina green energy bar. He didn't know if he should use it in this round.
If Yao Ming didn't play, Zhang Yang would use Hayes as a substitute center.
All the fans in the stadium, the commentators, and the NBA legend Barkley, who was broadcasted live on American television, were all shocked.
"What? There's no center on the Rockets 'bench in the second quarter?”
"Could it be Artest, the center forward?”
"Why can't Landry go on?”
"Look, Hayes is picking and rolling.”
"Look, he's cut into the paint."
"Oh my god, Hayes is the center forward?"
"It can't be."
Adelman, who was next to him, also expressed doubts about Zhang Yang's decision.
"You want Hayes to be the center forward?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said,"Just watch."”
Hayes 'defense was strong. In Zhang Yang's previous life, in 2010, when Yao Ming was seriously injured, the Rockets' starting center was Hayes, who was 1.98 meters tall.
Although he was short, even Howard could not gain much advantage in front of Hayes.
Who would believe that a guy with 1.98 points would have such an effect?
Zhang Yang looked at the five players on the Rockets 'side. The tallest was Artest, who was 2.01 meters tall.
At the start of the second quarter, the Los Angeles team heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Yao Ming did not play.
They didn't expect Hayes and Lori, who came on as substitutes, to help the Rockets hold on to their points!
Kobe scored another 18 points in the second quarter and 30 points in the first half.
In the end, the difference in points widened.
The Rockets boosted Brooks and Battier's confidence in the first quarter. They played equally well in the second quarter, so Yao Ming wasn't on the field, but they actually held onto the points.
The whistle sounded in the midfield. 49-63.
Zhang Yang welcomed the five people off the stage and said,"Well done!"”
Brooks wasn't in a good mood in the last game, but he was suddenly in a good mood this time.
He scored 4 out of 7 shots from the upper body and had already scored 13 points!
On the other hand, everyone on the team went back to the locker room with their heads lowered.
A 15-point gap in a game like the Western Conference semifinals was enough to make the Laker feel a little hopeless.
In the locker room, Zen Master looked at the Laker players and clapped.""We haven't lost yet!"
Then, the Zen Master told him his story."What's with your current situation? In 1993, I led the Bulls to play against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals. At that time, we were trailing 0-2. At the end of the third game, we were still trailing by 15 points! But we still turned the tables!"
"You have to have confidence in your team! We'll definitely be able to turn the tables!"
"We have the best shooting guard in the entire league and the best team. We can definitely get through this!”
Zen Master's words raised everyone's mood during the short intermission.
It had to be said that Zen Master still had some skills.
His legendary experience could fill his players with confidence.
However, at the beginning of the second half, the Los Angeles team was stunned again. The confidence that the players had just regained collapsed in an instant.
Yao Ming, who was back to full health, once again made waves in the Laker's paint.
If you don't double team me, I'll blow up your inside line.
Sorry, I have four armed guards.
Yao Ming, who had taken a break and eaten an energy bar, was this fierce.
