NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

After the start of the second quarter, both teams used two All-Star players to fight with three role players.

Both sides committed frequent fouls. Every match between the two teams was a playoff-level confrontation with a very high intensity.

Physical friction also caused frequent quarrels between the players of the two teams.

At 9:12 in the second quarter, the "Rocket Boxing Champion" Ibaka pulled Gasol down while defending in the interior.

The evil man Barnes immediately came over to touch Ibaka and pushed Ibaka's chest fiercely.

"Fuck, you bitch, do you want to make trouble here?"

Ibaka staggered back two steps. He may have forgotten that Ibaka punched Dudley and kicked the Suns last season.

People are always so forgetful. Ibaka glared with anger. Facing Barnes, who was almost a head shorter than him, Ibaka went straight over and wanted to fight.

The referees knew Ibaka's bad reputation. They heard that since the boxing of Dudley last season, Rockets owner Tang Yu has hired a professional boxing coach to train Rockets players' footwork. It is unknown whether this includes the technique of punching.

Gasol couldn't pretend anymore and quickly stood up to block Ibaka.

"Man, calm down. I know you didn't mean it. It's time to stop now!"

But they all ignored that there was another good guy in the Rockets. 'Melo' was not sweet at all at this moment. He knew that this was a good time to establish prestige in the Rockets.

Anthony rushed to Barnes alone and pointed at his face and cursed: "Do you want to fight? You son of a bitch, we can see who has a harder fist after the game!"

The referee saw that Anthony and Barnes were at loggerheads again, and immediately called security to enter the court. Melon had registered with the league referee. The fight at Madison Square Garden four years ago irritated everyone's nerves.

The court was already a bit chaotic, Ibaka was eager to try, and he might break free from the restraints of the people who were trying to stop the fight at any time.

As the saying goes, when the wind is strong, there will be rain, and when people are strong, there will be disaster.

Anthony pointed at Barnes' nose and madly output. The referee and the players tried to separate the two. Barnes saw that Anthony did not dare to be presumptuous, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Tang Yu and Phil Jackson both entered the court, but Tang Yu was accompanied by Max. Max, who was 195 cm tall, had bright eyes and vigilantly scanned the every move of each Lakers player. If someone approached Tang Yu without long eyes, he would not tolerate it if others did not take action.

Tang Yu walked quickly to Anthony's side, "Okay, Cameron, this is just a little episode!"

And the Zen Master also said to Barnes: "Matt, you are too radical. I know you want to protect your teammates, but you don't have to do this! You should apologize to Serge!"

The conversation between the two coaches immediately relieved the referee. Tang Yu and Jackson were two coaches who could talk to each other off the court. The two looked at each other.

"Okay, Phil, I will convey Matt's apology. We need to let these guys cool down, right!"

"Tang Yu, you are right, they need to calm down!"

Tang Yu waved his hand and signaled Ibaka to return to his bench, and the Rockets boxing champion gave up.

All the players returned to their benches to rest, and the referee must watch the video replay.

The penalty result came out soon. Ibaka's foul was just an ordinary foul, and Barnes's excessive behavior earned him a technical foul.

This was a little compensation for Ibaka's loss. Both Ibaka and Barnes were replaced.

The Rockets regained the five-small lineup, and the game between the two sides returned to normal.

Although there were occasional frictions, the players of both teams were able to control their emotions well.

The two teams tied 59-59 in the first two quarters.

After returning to the locker room, Tang Yu said to the players: "I ask you to be tough on the court, but if someone provokes you with these, you have to fight back. My request is very simple, don't be the first to fire! I will take care of the rest for you, understand?"

All the players' eyes lit up and shouted: "Understood, boss!"

Tang Yu's words were very clear. If the opponent provokes the Rockets players on the court, they can fight back. This is the boss's promise.

Being weak on the court means that the morale of your team will be greatly hit. Every championship team must have such players who can charge for the team on the court.

That is, the star bodyguards. Beverley and Ibaka in the Rockets are such players, and of course there is the new player "Big Bird" Chris Anderson.

15 minutes later, the third quarter of the game between the two sides began. The Rockets were all blooming, while the Lakers relied more on the cooperation of Paul and Stoudemire to support.

Stoudemire isThe most powerful power forward in the league today, he has fast footwork, mid-range shots and breakthroughs, and is very strong in singles with the ball.

After joining the Lakers, Stoudemire, a five-star Laker, can still maintain an average of 21.6 points per game, second only to Kobe's 23.7 points in the team.

However, Stoudemire is obviously higher in efficiency, his shooting distance is closer to the basket, and his shooting rights are relatively less.

In the third quarter, Stoudemire became the leader of the Lakers. In the absence of Kobe, Stoudemire scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Grant Hill, the "Mountain of Devil", is the person who sacrificed the most in this team. He worked hard on the court and took the lead on the defensive end. He sacrificed the most to win the championship.

Compared with other players, he has reached the end of his career, and there is not much time left for him.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams entered the decisive stage. Anthony was the last main player of the two teams to return to the court. He was replaced back to the court at 6 minutes and 27 seconds.

Anthony, who returned to the court, was full of energy and ready to win the game. He hit the basket hard after he came on the court. After missing the first shot, he scored two consecutive offensive rebounds.

When Anthony was willing to act, this melon was still very fierce, especially in the ability to attack rebounds.

The Lakers also fired at full power. Grant Hill's breakthrough layup was interfered by King Nowitzki. Stoudemire was unguarded under the basket and dunked after grabbing the offensive rebound.

"Wow!~~"

Staples was cheered warmly, and the Lakers widened the gap to 5 points.

The little bully also celebrated domineeringly after scoring!

The Rockets then fell into a short silence, and the Lakers widened the gap to 8 points. Tang Yu called a timeout.

"Boys, stabilize your emotions and show your vitality. This is just an ordinary regular season. I know your personal abilities are strong, but our tactics are equally important!"

In the last two rounds, the Rockets players have fallen into a vicious circle of singles, and each of them wants to use their personal abilities to solve the problem.

After the timeout, the Rockets' situation improved, but the Lakers' offense was always stable.

When the game entered the last minute, the Rockets were still 6 points behind. Harden passed the ball to Curry from the baseline after continuous pulling and shaking, and the latter made a three-pointer to extend the game.

34.7 seconds, 119-122, the Rockets were three points behind, and the Lakers had the ball.

Paul pressed the time to the last 5 seconds to attack alone, and stepped back from the top of the free throw arc and scored a mid-range shot!

5 points, this shot almost helped the Lakers lock in the victory.

Tang Yu called a timeout and arranged a three-pointer tactic for Curry. This tactic was very concise, and he shot directly after serving the screen.

Tang Yu didn't care too much, after all, it was just a regular season game.

After receiving the sideline ball from Dio, Curry quickly flicked a sniper shot and actually hit it.

After narrowing the gap to two points, the Rockets used a foul tactic. This time, the "Zen Master" also learned his lesson and put five players with strong free throw ability on the court to "point at each other" with the Rockets.

Tang Yu also smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that this trick would be used on him one day.

Phil Jackson really gave him a taste of his own medicine!

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 129-126 at the Staples Center at home. The two teams won one game each in the regular season this season!
