Kobe knew very well that this game would determine the direction of this series.
Clenching his teeth, as long as they won this game, it was absolutely possible for the Laker to turn the tables!
If they lost, they would fall behind by a score of 1:3. It would be too difficult to win all three games.
However, Kobe did not expect Yao Ming to turn into a monster inside the paint the moment he got on the court.
After two consecutive hooks from the inside, Gasol was completely helpless against this moving wall.
These two hooks directly suppressed the arrogance of the Los Angeles team.
At the same time, the Rockets had their backbone once Yao Ming was on the court.
Zhang Yang patted Hayes on the shoulder and said,""Watch how Yao Ming plays. I don't think you need to be so nervous.”
Zhang Yang could see that Hayes was nervous, but Hayes needed to substitute Yao Ming more to share the pressure inside the paint.
Zhang Yang even thought that if necessary, he would need Yao Ming and Hayes to play the double-tower tactic. Yao Ming would attack and Hayes would grab the rebound to share the pressure on Yao Ming in the paint and not let Yao Ming suffer any more serious injuries.
Hayes 'defensive ability inside the paint could stand the test.
On the court, Yao Ming scored two points inside the paint, which made the Laker have to take care of him.
However, once Kobe or Odom attacked, Yao Ming immediately passed the ball.
The accuracy of the rockets today was terrifying.
Whether it was the substitutes Lori and Landry, or Artest and Battier, they were all in full bloom on the outside.
In this match, Kobe was forced out of his prime. The match was not over yet, but he had already scored 40 points and scored 16 out of 30 shots.
It was just that when the rest of the team couldn't open up the situation, Kobe scored crazily. In a situation where there was no solution, the team was still powerless.
Because Yao Ming was also at his peak, and Yao Ming wasn't just strong himself, he also strengthened his teammates.
On the other hand, Kobe was tired at the end of the fourth quarter, even if he was physically strong.
Just after Kobe missed a shot, Battier scored another 3-pointer. The game was basically over.
The Clippers didn't give up even at the last second.
But with Yao Ming on the field, it was impossible for the Rockets to catch up to the eight-point gap.
In the last round, the Los Angeles team replaced Kobe, Odom, and Gasol, which was equivalent to surrendering.
Zhang Yang immediately replaced Yao Ming.
When Yao Ming was replaced, all the Rockets fans stood up and applauded him.
Yao Ming was all smiles.
He did not expect that there would be a time when they would lead the Los Angeles team by a huge score of 3:1!
As the dust settled, the two commentators relaxed.
"The game is over. Although there are still 40 seconds left, the Rockets are leading by eight points. This round is still the Rockets 'ball.”
"Yeah, Kobe scored 44 points in this game. Yao, China's Yao got a triple-double!”
"Let me see, 22 points, 12 rebounded, and 15 assists. Oh my god, Yao can do anything today.”
"15 assists, that's already broken Yao's own assist record.”
"From the fourth quarter of the last G3, Yao suddenly became fierce. His tactics were completely different. I don't know if it was the head coach Zhang Yang's idea.”
"I have a friend who is an administrator for the Rockets. He said that this was a tactic that Zhang Yang personally designed for Yao. The effect was too obvious.”
"That's right. This has completely liberated Yao and the entire Rockets!”
Just as the two casters spoke, the match ended.
108-100 The Rockets won by eight points.
In the entire Rockets team, other than Yao Ming, a total of six players scored in double figures!
Now that the score was 3:1, the Rockets fans left the stadium with smiles on their faces.
Meanwhile, the fans of the Laker team were dejected.
Si Jiali was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore." This b * tch actually won!" she cursed angrily.”
"Which b * tch?" asked her best friend curiously.”
"It's nothing!"
Si Jiali glanced at Zhang Yang before turning around and leaving.
Kobe walked back to the players 'tunnel expressionlessly.
When Zhang Yang left, he happened to run into Zen Master.
Zhang Yang wanted to shake hands with him in a friendly manner, but Zen Master walked over expressionlessly.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding…special quest triggered: Head Coach Killer.”
"Head Coach Killer: Has caused the head coaches of three NBA teams to be fired (at least for the main reason) because they lost to the host.”
"Final Mission Reward: Orange Gift Pack.”
Zhang Yang was stunned as he watched Zen Master leave.
"Could it be that Zen Master was fired because he lost the game? Why did this mission feel like he was taking advantage of a burning house?”
