With Li Zhe making a free throw, the Lakers tied the score at 20-20, and Adelman requested a timeout.

When the game starts again, the Rockets replace Sean Bathir with faster Carl Landry, and replace Bathir with better height, strength and strength Kyle Lowry, who replaces Bathir, intending to increase the number of impacts on the inside.

The first quarter game was over and the two teams tied 24-24.

During the intercourse, Phil made personnel adjustments and replaced Walton, Vujasic and others, and Li Zhe did not get a rest time.

In the second quarter, Ariza frequently tried mid-range shots in the free throw line area with the help of cover. Vujasic's defense was too bad and could not stop it. However, the touch was too poor, and he only made one shot in five consecutive shots.

Lowry was also under the high-intensity defense of Li Zhe and his performance was sluggish. He didn't even have an assist and only picked up three rebounds.

Only Landry, perhaps because he encountered Walton, who had poor defense, had a smarter style of playing. He used his speed advantage to force the basket and scored easily with 6 layups in total.

Unfortunately, although the Lakers have made a significant improvement on the defensive end, except for Li Zhe, the others still perform in disastrously. Powell and Omdo received passes from Li Zhe many times, but only made 10 shots.

In the end, Li Zhe broke through one after another, attacked the Rockets' inside line, and fought for another 12 minutes.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led 46-44.

During the halftime break, Phil did not summarize much content. After all, the problems encountered by the Lakers are blind. As long as they can increase the shooting power, it should not be too easy to win the game.

Li Zhe left the locker room early, returned to the stadium and walked into the audience, shook hands and took a photo with the Chinese fans who bought tickets to support him, and said that he would put a perfect end to the racial discrimination incident.

The representatives of Chinese fans who are responsible for organizing the game promised to give all support, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to improve the social status of Chinese people in the United States. At least those who were blatantly discriminatory in the past can happen secretly as much as possible in the future.

…

The third quarter game started soon.

The Rockets are still dominated by Ariza, and their efficiency is also low, with only 2 of 7 shots.

Bud and Scola stood up and made 4 of 5 shots in total, including three three-pointers.

On the contrary, Bathir missed the accuracy, resulting in the Rockets only scored 26 points in a single quarter.

After resting, the Lakers' physical strength was restored and their condition improved.

When Li Zhe encountered double-team, Odom and Atai stood up, and the two worked together to score 14 points. In addition, Walton, Famal and Bynum also scored goals respectively, and the Lakers scored 29 points in a single quarter, but Li Zhe continued to play for 12 minutes.

With a five-point advantage, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter.

Kolandrie faced Atai Yu and not only made consecutive shots, but also completed a steal, and his advantage disappeared instantly.

The inefficient Ariza put most of the experience on the defensive end, but without his offensive threat, the defensive pressure encountered by other Rockets players has greatly increased, and Buddy and Scola's shooting percentages have shown a cliff-like decline.

Unfortunately, as the game progressed, the Lakers' lack of physical strength appeared again. Omdo and Atai frequently made a fuss, and the offense was entirely dependent on Li Zhe who made a strong breakthrough and strong shot alone, but he encountered double-teams and his efficiency was also average.

…

There were only 72 seconds left in the blink of an eye. With Bu hitting a three-pointer, the Lakers were behind 85-89.

Li Zhe received the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced forward. Half of the fans in the Toyota Center shouted in unison to defend.

Walk to the top of the arc, raise your hand and signal the whole team to pull it apart, and then locate the cover.

Odom stepped forward and raised a wall to block Xiao Bu. Li Zhe dribbled the ball with his left hand and sang three big steps to the free throw line.

Scola changed defense, approached her body, touched her waist with one hand and raised it with the other, and interfered in all directions.

But Li Zhe flew away, and rushed to the basket like he was stepping on a hot wheel, holding the ball with both hands, and stopped and jumped.

Scola slapped him on the arm, and he flew out of bounds with the basketball himself.

The referee blew the whistle and fouled the thug, and half of the fans exclaimed at the scene.

On the central screen, Li Zhe lying to the sky and gasping for breath is displayed.

TNT commentator, Thomas said: "Gasol was injured and could not play. If either Kobe or Jamie Lee was absent, the other person would feel very uncomfortable. He is obviously too tired, and he can actually choose to stop shooting."

Miller said: "He has played for nearly 47 minutes and definitely doesn't want to lose. It is the most stable way to rush into the inside."

Thomas nodded: "Phil also attaches great importance to this game, otherwise he would not be allowed to play continuously."

After the words came to an end, Li Zhe also made the second free throw, and the Lakers were behind 87-89.

The Rockets attacked, and Bud dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Scola on the top of the arc, turned around and ran to the right bottom corner.

After several consecutive screenings, Ariza got the ball on the right wing and fought against Li Zhe, who had no technical moves, directly attacked closely, and used his height and strength to attack the basket.

Li Zhe raised his right hand high and chased to his waist in a blink of an eye. He was about to bend his knees and jump when his chest suddenly elbowed and fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing him like this, Bynum and Arte narrowed their double-teams at the same time.

Ariza stopped urgently and threw the ball towards the bottom corner on the right.

Xiao Bu received the ball, raised his hand to aim the frame, and Atai hurriedly returned to defense.

But Xiao Bu did not take action, but threw the ball into the basket through a ground strike. Where did Hayes be in an undefensive state.

I thought that Li Zhe, who was half kneeling on the ground, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the ball in his arms, climbed up with one hand, twisted his hips and turned around, like a robot plugged in again, accurately rushing towards the front field along a straight line.

Xiao Bu and Ariza chased each other wildly, and the others were so tired that they stood there and watched.

The three of them arrived at the free throw line almost at the same time. Li Zhe held the ball tightly with both hands, shouted, and rushed to the basket.

Bang! Bang! Two thugs sounded one after another.

Li Zhe was knocked out of the field again, and the referee blew a foul.

Thomas stood up and applauded: "Tough guy! He still chose to hit the basket until now, and his body and mind are strong."

Miller also stood up: "He is showing his attitude, he will persevere and never retreat."

After the words came to an end, Li Zhe made the first penalty.

There was a booing sound on the spot. Li Zhe took the referee's pass, took a deep breath, and threw the second free throw neatly.

Swish! Hollow enters the net.

The Lakers tied 89-89, Li Zhe scored 9 points, and there were 4 seconds left in the game.

The Rockets did not request a timeout, and Xiao Bu received the ball in the backcourt and advanced.

Walk to the right wing, pass to Scola, turn around and run to the right bottom corner.

This tactic has been fought too many times, Odom stepped back a little and prepared to change defense in advance.

Koscola did not pass the ball, but instead rushed to the free throw line with a cover and stopped in the middle.

When! Iron.

Seeing this, the Rockets players took great strides and retreated to defend.

Bynum raised his hands to catch the ball, but Hayes suddenly turned sideways, jumped high, and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Bynum knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly pressed Hayes with both knees and raised his hands to intercept him.

Hayes tried to force the ball, but it was useless and hurriedly threw the ball towards the top of the arc.

I thought that Atai had come out halfway and took away the basketball while he sighed suddenly throughout the Toyota Center.

Li Zhe stepped forward and took it into his hand, crossed the center line to slow down and stop the ball. While spending time, he raised his hand and made tactical gestures.

Seeing this, Atai walked down from the right wing and used the cover to sneak to the basket, and then used the cover to sneak to the left half.

The Rockets player who chased him did not keep up at all, and the switch to defense was not timely enough, resulting in him getting a super large open space.

Li Zhe passed the ball decisively, Atai received the ball from the sideline, made a little adjustment, and jumped and threw a three-pointer.

Bang bang bang! The basketball rebounded back and forth in the circle and finally fell into the Nets.

The Lakers overtook 92-89, with only 7 seconds left in the game, and the Rockets requested a timeout.

Back on the bench, Phil said that the Rockets' last goal is likely to be a shot for Ariza, and the Rockets have used up the number of timeouts, so they will choose a three-pointer 100%, so they give up the inside line such as Hayes and Scola to defend others.

The timeout ends in a blink of an eye and the game continues.

On the Lakers' side, Bynum was substituted, and Famal and Powell came on the court.

The Rockets replaced Battier, Lowry, and together with Ariza and Brooks, they stood at four positions where they often shot three-pointers, and replaced David Anderson, a 211-centimeter inside line, to serve on the sideline.

As the referee blew the whistle, the five-second countdown began, and the fans of the audience stood up this time.

Because the Rockets' positions were scattered and the Lakers did not dare to let go, Ariza easily received the pass and singled out Li Zhe at the top of the arc.

In the last two seconds, Ariza rose up from the ground, Li Zhe jumped on the spot, stretched out his hands to block the shooting sight.

When! Shooting and shooting, Lakers bench players raised their hands to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, the referee blew a whistle and blew Li Zhe to invade the cylinder, and Ariza received three free throws.

Li Zhe was stunned for a moment and reacted and rushed up to argue, but the referee shook his head and waved his hand away.

He was dissatisfied and continued to chase after him to explain.

The referee warned him verbally, and Odom quickly pulled him.

In the cheers, Ariza stood on the free throw line and hit three consecutive free throws.

The two teams tied 92 to 92, with only 0 seconds left.

The Lakers did not set up tactics either. As soon as Famal received the ball, the whistle sounded on the spot, and the game entered overtime.

Thomas shook his head repeatedly: "I don't think the defense was fouled just now..."
Chapter completed!
