The game went very quickly, and before Han Ning could think of any solution, the second quarter was already coming to an end.

At this time, the score between the two sides has reached 53 to 47.

The Rockets trailed by 6 points.

From leading by 10 points at the start to falling behind by 6 points.

O'Neal and Kobe made great contributions on the court.

There are still fifteen seconds left before halftime.

The Rockets execute their final attack.

Devin Brown holds the ball and breaks through to the right.

Other Rockets players also started moving without the ball.

Facing Kobe's defense, Devin Brown rushed from the right to the low post but failed to find a chance.

But his purpose is not to beat Kobe by force.

Instead, he drew Kobe away and waited for his teammates to make moves.

Soon, Dazhi ran from the basket to the top of the arc.

Then two Rockets players came to the high post and launched a close-door pick-and-roll.

Blocked Samaki Walker who was chasing Da Zhi.

Devin Brown just threw the basketball over.

After receiving the ball, Da Zhi shot from outside the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

Scored three points.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded immediately.

Han Ning stood on the sidelines, feeling slightly relieved.

Fortunately, he also has a bonus card provided by the system.

Otherwise, the Rockets would have been defeated by the Lakers.

53 to 50, trailing by 3 points at halftime, which is still barely acceptable.

After returning to the locker room, Han Ning looked at the gasping Rockets players and sighed slightly in his heart.

In this half of the game, the Rockets played very tiredly.

Not much better than playing the Spurs.

But it was Dayao who worried Han Ning the most.

At the end of the half, Dayao scored 15 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks and two assists.

But O'Neal's data is stronger!

18 points, 10 rebounds and a block!

From a statistical point of view, Dayao did not beat O'Neal.

At most, the two can be considered to be on par.

This is different from what Han Ning told Dayao before the game that he would definitely be able to beat O'Neal in terms of statistics.

But when Han Ning cast his eyes on Dayao, he found that he didn't seem to be affected at all. Instead, he seemed to be full of fighting spirit.

Han Ning opened his mouth to ask something, but still couldn't say anything.

But Dayao seemed to see the doubts in Han Ning's heart, and said with a soft smile: "Boss, we will definitely win this game!"

Han Ning frowned slightly, a little confused.

He himself is not sure that he can win this game. Why is Dayao so sure?!

What Han Ning didn't expect was that Francis and others seemed to agree with Dayao's words.

"Boss, we will definitely win this game!"

"The Lakers have no choice. Phil Jackson can only keep O'Neal and Kobe playing on the court. When they are tired, then..."

Before Francis finished speaking, Han Ning's eyes lit up.

yes!

According to Phil Jackson's current tactics.

O'Neal and Kobe had to keep playing on the court to surpass the Rockets.

But no matter how good O'Neal and Kobe are in physical strength, they can't always maintain their best condition and efficiency!

Han Ning himself fell into a misunderstanding before.

The vision from the future made Han Ning too worried about O'Neal's dominance at the basket.

But they have forgotten a common problem of most NBA head coaches in this era.

That is, they only like to use the main players and look down on substitute players.

Therefore, at the end of every game, the players on both sides are not playing very efficiently.

But the Rockets built by Han Ning are different!

It is absolutely possible to play with a very good rotation system.

No matter how good O'Neal and Kobe are playing now!

It's impossible to defeat the Rockets.

It is impossible for the Rockets to be widened by the Lakers by a large margin.

Later in the game, when the Lakers players' physical strength is affected, it's time for the Rockets to exert their strength!

After figuring this out, Han Ning knew what to do next.

What he needs to do is simple.

That is to make the Lakers players physically exhausted even faster!

There are two most common tactics that consume the opponent's players' physical strength.

One is a bombardment tactic, while the other is a Princeton system that relies on constant running without the ball to wear down defensive players.

But these two methods are not suitable for dealing with the Lakers.

In a team with a powerful insider like O'Neal, it is useless to try to deal with it with bombardment.

There was a saying that was popular in the league.

Only teams without a strong center will go for the bombardment.

This sentence can clearly illustrate that it is useless to bombard a team with a strong center.

Your opponent can completely defeat your bombardment tactics by relying on a higher scoring efficiency than yours.

And the Princeton system is not suitable for dealing with the Lakers.

With O'Neal in the middle, the Princeton system is also ineffective. After all, the Princeton system is also one of the variants of the run-and-gun tactic.

But this is what the head coach can think of in this era.

But there are more than just these two tactics that Han Ning can think of!

What the Rockets need to target now is not the entire Lakers team.

But O'Neal alone!

Just consume O'Neal's physical strength alone.

Han Ning coughed slightly, and then said with an extremely confident smile on his face: "That's right. The Lakers have no other way to deal with us! We will definitely win this game!"

"Next, Francis, you come on the court. If you have a chance, play inside. Look for O'Neal and go for it! Don't worry about Fisher. If you have a chance, rush to the basket and attack O'Neal."

Francis nodded.

Then Han Ning turned his attention to Dazhi and Kenyon Thomas.

He said in a deep voice: "Dazhi, Thomas, as long as O'Neal takes the ball to attack, you will double-team. Don't worry about other people. If you really can't stop it, you can try to foul."

"Also, when grabbing rebounds, keep an eye on O'Neal and grab them. As long as you don't let him grab the rebounds, it doesn't matter who else gets them."

"In short, it's just one word, consumption! Use any method that can consume O'Neal's physical strength!"

After hearing Han Ning's arrangement, the Rockets players all had a smirk on their faces.

If you want to consume a player's physical strength, you can not only start with offense.

It can also be used defensively!

Let the Rockets' next offense be as focused on O'Neal's side as possible, which can also consume O'Neal's physical strength.

At the same time, slashing sharks can also make O'Neal expend more energy.

Coupled with the target of double-teaming.

Han Ning still didn't believe it, how much physical strength O'Neal could use!

Even if they play like this, the Rockets will inevitably lose points.

Maybe even the Lakers will take the lead.
Chapter completed!
