"Larry, will you be surprised if this game has been played until now?"

“It’s really surprising”

Before this game started, many ABC experts felt that the Rockets were stronger. Even if they were behind 2-3, the possibility of winning two consecutive games was higher than the Lakers' chances of advancing. I believe that the Lakers will definitely win this game.

I'm afraid only local fans in Los Angeles, only they believe that the Lakers can end the battle in six games and eliminate the Rockets 4-2.

Even if he had a good relationship with the Magician, he was full of affection for Lin Han, but when considering the actual problems, facing the Rockets' problem.

Not to mention that the Lakers are weak inside and the Lakers are not strong on the outside. It can be said that except Lin Han, others are either old or small. In this configuration, it is actually a miracle to be able to eliminate the Spurs and enter the Western Conference Finals. It is already rare to lead the Rockets 3-2. It can even give Lin Han and the Lakers a label that they still win despite defeat.

His strength is indeed not as strong as the Rockets, and he is still far from being able to compare with the Rockets.

But now, he has changed his mind.

The game has only been in half a quarter now.

However, the Lakers' style of playing in this half of the game can be said to have solved the gap between strength and the Rockets.

The Lakers' offensive method, which is extremely simple, is to rely on Lin Han's super physical fitness and three-pointer ability, to give all the offenses to him. As long as Lin Han doesn't have a chance, even if he doesn't attack for 24 seconds, he can't bring up the rhythm and let the Rockets attack.

This style of playing has never appeared in the history of NBA, because there is no other Lin Han in the history of NBA!

This threat ability outside the three-point line directly offsets the inside advantage of Olajuwon and Barkley. Not to mention the same efficiency, even if the efficiency is a little worse, Lin Han succeeds twice, and Olajuwon and Barkley have to succeed three times before they can be smoothed out!

The Lakers' style of playing really made Larry Bird, who wanted to be a coach, realize the magic of three-point shooting for the first time.

A 40% three-point shooting percentage is equivalent to a 60% two-point shooting percentage!

What's more, Lin Han's three-point shooting percentage in this game was more than 40%, which is more than 80%!

The Rockets were not defeated because Olajuwon and Barkley played too strongly.

You know, even if Aaron Williams doesn't want to pay the precious fouls on the defensive end, he closed his eyes when defending Olajuwon, but even if he closed his eyes, his figure and the function of the goalboard were there. Even if he kept pressing his eyes motionless and holding his hands high, Olajuwon couldn't say that he could score every time.

As for Barkley, let alone, although he has always had a clear advantage when facing Rodman, it is impossible to achieve such high efficiency.

It can be said that Olajuwon and Barkley have tried their best, but the Rockets are still 4 points behind the Lakers. If it weren't for Aaron Williams' offensive foul, it would be 7 points!

This is only half a day!

Of course, with the arrival of Aaron Williams' first foul, the Lakers' offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Because the Lakers definitely don't dare to use some foul moves to challenge the referee's standards like they did just now, otherwise Aaron Williams would be blown twice in the first quarter and he would be over.

The importance of Aaron Williams in this game is second only to the magician and attacker Lin Han, the initiator of the Lakers, the magician and attacker!

So, generally speaking, after the timeout of both sides, some substitutes will definitely be used to rotate, such as the Lakers, who can play Dominic Wilkins or Van Exel, but the Lakers still maintain the starting lineup and have no rotation.

Larry Bird could see that the Lakers would not replace these two players who could only attack in this game. According to the Lakers' current style of playing, these two people's offenses are not useful at all. As long as Lin Han is on the court, the attack can only be Lin Han.

As for the Rockets, it is actually not easy to substitute players. The Rockets dare not replace offensive players for defense even if they cannot stop the Lakers' offense. Otherwise, what if the defense still cannot be prevented, but the offense collapses?

Moreover, Aaron Williams took a foul at this time, and the Rockets were more willing to believe that because of this foul, Aaron Williams did not dare to make more moves, so Lin Han's cover quality will decline and Lin Han's offensive efficiency will also decrease.

Therefore, after this official suspension, both sides unexpectedly maintained their original lineup.

"Larry, what do you think will happen to both sides after this suspension?"

Both sides did not adjust the lineup, which means that both sides were very cautious, the Rockets were very cautious, and the Lakers were naturally very cautious.

However, although there are no major changes, there will definitely be tactical adjustments.

"The Rockets should still start to solve the Lakers' offensive tactics of this three-pointer. Since Lin Han has been solved before and Aaron Williams' foul has also failed, then who else can you attack the Lakers' offense now if you want to hold back?"

After Larry Bird said with a smile, Collins looked at the Lakers No. 32 who was standing on the court again at this time with a look of surprise.

"Take him?"

After being a little stunned, Collins almost laughed, and even felt a little sympathetic to the current Rockets head coach Tom Janovic.

Before Lin Han appeared in the entire NBA, there were two bug-level outside lines, one was Jordan's offense, and the other was the Magician's pass. It was difficult at the same level.

When the Rockets now pinch the Lakers' offense the only way to pinch the Magician's pass, this is not hopeless. What is despair?

The Magician, 2.06 meters, point guard, can only attack him by blocking the ball and let him give the ball out, not in his hands. However, at this height of 2.06 meters, if you want to attack, you cannot use two people less than 2 meters to attack, otherwise the Magician will hold the ball into the air and pass the ball without moving with his vision.

In addition, Olajuwon definitely cannot get out of the basket. He is the cornerstone of the Rockets' desperate defense and needs to guard the basket. Then the only inside line that can be mobilized is only one person, that is Barkley...

However, what is Barkley's height?

1m 98…

It is said to be 1.98 meters, but in fact, standing with Lin Han, 1.98 meters, he is still a little short...

If the Rockets want to attack the Magician to hit the top of the inside to hit the ball, it is OK, but don’t attack!

I have to say that the Lakers’ three-point tactic, the match between Magic, Lin Han and Aaron Williams is really a perfect match!

The Magician is old and his physical fitness is not as good as the peak, but his passing vision and ball control ability are still at its peak. Compared with those point guards under 2 meters, he is not afraid of double-teaming.

What about Aaron Williams? Although he is not good at offense and defense, he has a weird figure and is as straight as a goalboard and cannot be used elsewhere. However, he is an indispensable tactic for the Lakers.

What the Rockets are embarrassed about now is that their team is obviously stronger, but they have no way to use the three core cores of the Lakers' tactical system.

This feeling is also a bit of despair...

At this time, Tom Janovic, who was standing in front of the Rockets' bench, was really a little desperate. Under the Lakers' tactical system, even if the Rockets' personal strength is really stronger than the Lakers, it would be useless.

Is Lin Han, Magician, and Aaron Williams the trio, the strength is comparable to the trio of his own team Olajuwon, Barkley and Drexler?

If he can't compare, he will definitely not be able to compare. However, the Lakers' trio can score 3 points in one offense, while his stronger trio can only score 2 points in one offense!

How can I play this?

Is it useful to attack the magician? How can he not know?

This guy is the one who can get Jordan and Pippen to attack at his peak. Although it is not the peak now, maybe he may be a little busy facing Jordan and Pippen, but facing the attack from his team Barkley and Kenny Smith...

Barkley is 1.98 meters tall, barely offset by Jordan, but can Kenny Smith compare with Pippen?

Well, Kenny Smith is 1.91 meters short, but what about Pippen? 2.03 meters...

He now wants his team to have a Pippen. Although Pippen is on the outside, his height and wingspan can be used as an inside. With his speed and defensive strength, he can do a good job whether he is using him to deal with Lin Han or with him to deal with the Magician.

At least, Pippen and Drexler can definitely stop Lin Han from running away like this!

The pincer attacks between Pippen and Kenny Smith can definitely force the Magician to hand over the ball!

But Pippen is not in the Rockets...

Of course, if the Rockets have Big Three and add one Pippen, other NBA teams will not play.

This is a dream, and he knows it too.

So, seeing the game on the court restarted, Barkley squeezed his big butt and scored a two-pointer. When it was his turn to defend, Barkley did not return to his defensive position, but instead went around the former Magician first and prevented him from receiving Eddie Jones' pass.

Just seeing the height comparison between Barkley and the Magician standing together, it makes you feel a little distressing to look around.

After the Magic received the pass from Eddie Jones, Barkley and Kenny Smith directly attacked on the ground, but after a few times, they didn't reach the ball, Barkley could only return to his defensive area angrily.

The Magician's height, ball control ability, vision and passing ability, even if he has lost some of his athletic ability, standing on the court as long as he uses it properly is a super big bug!

In the previous few encounters between the Rockets and the Lakers, the Magician was not given such a task. The Lakers' tactical system is not like this three-pointer tactic, so it is still impossible to see. Now that the Magician has been given the tactical status of the core of the organization, it immediately makes people feel the kind of despair he gave at his peak!

"When the Lakers play this three-pointer tactic, the Magic and Lin Han are perfect matches!"

"Yes, before the Lakers played such a weird three-pointer tactic, the Lakers were not as strong as the Rockets, but now, the situation has completely changed. The Rockets are in danger..."

Looking at the situation on the court, because of Aaron Williams' defensive foul, he really couldn't foul the rest of the first quarter, so he couldn't use foul actions to reduce the quality of his cover for Lin Han, and Lin Han's offensive efficiency has indeed decreased.

But similarly, even if the Rockets play a wooden board that cannot move, Olajuwon's offensive efficiency will not always be a must-win, so the offensive efficiency of both sides has been reduced.

Moreover, the decline looks similar, well, the Lakers look a little bit iron.

However, the Lakers have three points every time they attack and don't go to the basket at all.

Therefore, even if the Lakers' success rate is slightly lower, the advantage of three-pointers vs. two-pointers can completely offset these, and there is still a rest.

Moreover, more importantly, the rotation time is coming soon. So, the Rockets, should we give our core players a rest?

If the Rockets lead at this time, the three core players will take turns to rest. The offensive efficiency will drop a little, and it doesn't matter if the score is approached.

But what about now?

I am still behind, and it is clear that Lin Han will play 48 minutes in this game. You are still going to rest. Are you preparing to collapse at halftime?

Then you won’t have to come up after the rest!

What's more, they are now a side that is behind in the score!

It can be said that as the game progressed, the feeling of powerlessness and despair had slowly climbed into the hearts of Rockets players and coaches.

Before this game, they really didn't expect that they would become the restrained party.

Before this game, because of their own team's advantages in the inside and the weakness of the opponent's team's inside, the Lakers were restrained by them. This is also many experts believe that even if the Rockets temporarily lag behind in the score, they will be the ones who advance.

And now!

Who can imagine such a situation!

Of course, the three heads of the Rockets are not the orc, Lin Han, nor are they magicians, who are like this, who are still moving and just passing the ball, and they can't consume much physical strength at all. It can be said that the Lakers' physical energy consumption is all contracted by Lin Han. Lin Han is the most tiring on the court, while other Lakers players are the easiest.

What about the three giants of the Rockets? Like Lin Han, they are the most tired of the Rockets, but they don’t have Lin Han’s terrifying physical strength!
