Chapter 1205 Breaking the Situation in Danger!
During the halftime break, the entire Toyota Center atmosphere was fiery. The stands were filled with singing and dancing fans. The DJ led all the fans to play human waves, and the cheerleaders dancing in the center of the field were working harder than usual.
Accompanied by the explosive music, the DJ at the scene shouted out today's benefits: "If the Rockets score more than 100 points in this game, every fan in the game will be given a McDonald's burger!"
Yes, it is not that easy to get 100 points in this era. This is an era where getting 100 points will also send benefits to the entire audience. Lakers who are used to seeing the Lakers frequently playing games with more than 120 points this season may feel a little surprised. , but in fact the Lakers scoring so many points is an exception. Scoring less than 100 points in a game is the norm in the league today. This also reflects the powerful offensive power of the Lakers Championship League.
So you can understand the mood of Rockets fans. The Rockets scored 60 points in the half, which is their highest score in a half this season. Dayao had 18 points and 5 rebounds in the half, Artest had 11 points, and Scola had 10 points. , three people scored in double figures in the half, which was also the most this season. The shooting rate reached 59%, which was also a new half-time record. 5 of 6 three-pointers also set a new shooting rate record.
There is no doubt that this is the Rockets' best halftime performance this season.
In the locker room, the Rockets players were extremely excited. Artest was jumping and shouting slogans. Even the good old Shane Battier shouted: "BEAT LA! BEAT LA!"
Their performance made them excited. The most important thing is that they no longer feel that the Lakers are invincible. They have the confidence to give the Lakers a try, whether it is this game or future playoffs.
This performance made Ji Feng couldn't help but think of the day before the game, when they were visiting Yao's house, the two finally naturally talked about this season's playoffs and the ultimate goal.
When talking about the championship, Dayao said to Ji Feng with a smile on his face: "You are indeed the favorite, but don't underestimate us."
At that time, Ji Feng didn't care. The Rockets were indeed good, but in Ji Feng's heart, they were not as important as the Nuggets and other teams. However, now it seems that Ji Feng was careless. His point of view was still on the team that was not well adjusted at the beginning of the season. The Rockets are still stuck in the Yao-Mai era.
However, this game made everyone realize that Dayao is the core of the Rockets this season. McGrady's role is being reduced. His data is very obvious, and Dayao's ability is unmatched at the center position in the Western Conference. , and the depth of the Rockets' lineup is very scary. Except for Uncle Mu at center, there are sufficient talent reserves in all positions. Coupled with Adelman, an excellent coach, this Rockets is indeed qualified to take off.
Ji Feng's thoughts were quickly awakened by the roar of the angry Zen Master. When he came back to his senses, he saw the Zen Master furious. The Zen Master rarely got angry this season. After all, the Lakers had a smooth journey. Even if they lost by a point difference, it was basically In the single digits, the Zen master will not be angry.
But today, it can be seen that Jackson is really angry. Let’s not mention the 40 points at halftime. What Jackson cares about is the state of the entire Lakers team. This game should not have been played like this. It has little to do with skills and tactics. , the most important thing is the carelessness of the Lakers players. They underestimated the Rockets' ability.
"Ugly game!" Zen Master uttered these words after staring at the players in the locker room for about five minutes, and then walked away.
No Lakers player could give a satisfactory answer. Ji Feng was surrounded by Artest and Battier in turns. He only scored 8 points and 4 assists in the half. This was definitely Ji Feng's low point this season. Maybe Now in Cleveland, a guy named LeBron is smiling happily. He feels that someone is finally here to accompany him.
The starting point guard Fisher only had 2 points and was severely restricted by Brooks, a second-year show.
Kobe did score 12 points, but 8 of his 12 points came from free throws, and he only made two mid-range shots.
Needless to say, there are twin towers inside. Bynum was disgraced by Yao, and his 4 points and 3 fouls were his answer in the first half. Gasol was only 50-50 with Scola, with 8 points and 5 rebounds, which is not bad. .
The starting five were all misfired, no wonder Zen Master was so angry.
However, the more he lost like this, the less he wanted to lose, and he also looked away. This game must not be given up. This is a rare opportunity for the Lakers to fight against the wind. It is not a good thing to go too smoothly, because there will be no playoffs. It may be smooth sailing all the time, but if you encounter a similar situation, if you don't handle it well, it will have disastrous consequences.
So Master Zen returned to the locker room without taking two steps. In the locker room, Ji Feng was boosting morale. Master Zen didn't waste any time. He walked directly to the blackboard and smashed it twice. After attracting attention, he shouted: "Score, we need to Score! You all have to play like men and put away all the bitches. Whoever still plays so softly in the second half, I will sign him up in the WNBA!"
"Especially you, Ji Feng! What you did in the first half was a fucking piece of shit, but I don't mind. Everyone takes a nap, but I don't want to lose yet, so you must get back to your best form in the second half. , you are the strongest No. 3 position in this league, but you can’t beat Battier and Artest??! No! You have to show everyone your abilities with actual actions!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes! Coach!" Ji Feng stood up and roared. Master Zen's words inspired Ji Feng's blood. It was indeed difficult to deal with two No. 3 positions in the top 10 of the league, but he was not a person who would not fight back after being beaten. He was already in the second half. Determined to make them look good, he couldn't forget Artest's proud face at the end of halftime!
"Kobe! The same goes for you! The second half is yours! Come up with the tactics for me and the whole team will cooperate with them. Farmar, you replace Derrick and wait for opportunities at the three-point line. Inside, if you can't get rebounds again Just get back to Los Angeles!" The Zen Master finished the arrangements at the last moment.
And all the Lakers generals stood up, put their hands together, and roared out.
The second half has begun!
"The second half of the game has begun! The Lakers changed one person. Farmar replaced the old fish who scored zero points in the first half. The rest remains unchanged. It is understandable for the lagging team."
"Rockets Yao rests, Uncle Mu comes on, Foye replaces Tracy McGrady on the outside, Battier replaces Artest, and Landry plays power forward on the inside," Yu Jia said.
"The Lakers need to score, and there was a problem with scoring in the first half." Director Zhang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Feng dribbled the ball into the half court without looking for cooperation, and directly attacked Battier, went to the inside and made a small throw in front of Uncle Mu, but was interfered by Battier's foul and made two free throws!
Although he didn't score, this reflects Ji Feng's determination to attack. The decisive battle is about to begin now!
