Half the game passed, and the Rockets had a more than ten-point lead.

After returning to the locker room, neither Phil Jackson nor the Lakers players looked very good.

The artillery bombardment tactic is also a physically demanding tactic for them.

It's a complete method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred.

But even with such tactics, the Rockets still gained a more than ten-point lead.

This is somewhat unacceptable to them.

Finally, Kobe couldn't help but stand up.

"We should do something. We can't let the Rockets continue to lead like this. Otherwise, we will have a very difficult time in this series!"

After hearing Kobe's words, there was finally movement in the Lakers locker room.

Phil Jackson's expression was a little gloomy.

Originally, he wanted to use artillery bombardment tactics to consume Dayao's physical strength.

Wait until Yao is exhausted, and then let O'Neal use his strength in the paint.

But Yao came up with such a strange shooting posture.

This posture consumes less physical energy.

At least it is much smaller than other inside attack methods!

In addition, Dayao has always shot from the high post.

You will have some advantages when retreating to defend, and you will also have to travel less distance.

So Dayao's physical exertion was not as much as they expected.

The most important thing is that O'Neill's physical strength was consumed a lot by the bombardment tactics.

This time, the physical strength of the two of them was almost exhausted!

This time, Phil Jackson's trick to deal with the Rockets was completely solved.

For a while, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with the Rockets.

Looking at Phil Jackson, who had been silent, Kobe sighed softly.

Then he stood up, walked to the Zen master, and said softly: "Leave the offense to me. As long as we can limit Dayao's scoring, we still have a chance in this game!"

After Phil Jackson heard Kobe's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

I want O'Neal to give up attacking and focus on defending Yao wholeheartedly.

The offense is left to him.

This is indeed a solution!

But once this is done, it means recognizing Kobe's status within the Lakers.

Offense has always been the right of the star player.

Defense is mostly what the second or third boss should do.

But right now, there is no other way.

Dayao must be restricted so that they can have a chance of winning!

"Shaq, in the second half of the game, I don't want you to do anything else. You just have to find a way to defend Dayao. Can you do it?!" Phil Jackson turned to look at O'Neal.

After hearing Phil Jackson's words, O'Neal couldn't help but frowned.

He knew that he had to guard Dayao to have a chance of winning.

But let him concentrate on defense and give up offense.

This was something he couldn't bear.

"I will do a good job in defense. Just leave the offense to me. The Sharks will not be defeated easily!" O'Neal said solemnly.

When Phil Jackson heard O'Neal say this, he immediately understood.

The two still want to compete for the star position and obtain the highest player status in the team.

There are powerful enemies outside and internal troubles inside.

For a moment, Phil Jackson didn't know what to do.

He can't resolve the fight between two players here when the enemy is facing him, right?!

After pondering for a while, Phil Jackson finally made a decision.

Shen Sheng said: "Continue to bombard. When defending, be careful to double-team Dayao. As long as he gets the ball, you can double-team!"

After hearing these words, the Lakers players knew it in their hearts.

The battle for power between Kobe and O'Neal will not be staged for the time being.

But in Phil Jackson's heart, he may still prefer O'Neal.

There was some unwillingness in Kobe's eyes.

Phil Jackson can't help it either.

It's not a question of who he prefers.

It's because Dayao is an inside player.

So he could only send O'Neal to fight.

When you can't think of any other way, the best way is to continue to use bombardment to consume Dayao's physical strength.

We can only bet that when Dayao is exhausted, O'Neal can still stand up and kill everyone.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded.

The third quarter begins.

After Francis slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball, he once again passed the basketball in his hand directly to Yao.

Since Dayao came to the Rockets, Francis seems to like passing the ball more and more.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the targets of his passes are Dayao, Ginobili and others.

When you pass the ball, assists will come to your account.

Now Francis' assists per game are almost reaching double digits!

With data like this, who wouldn’t want to pass the ball?!

As soon as Dayao got the ball, he realized that he seemed to be double-teamed.

O'Neal and Rick Fox stepped forward and trapped Dayao tightly.

Suddenly, Dayao couldn't find any chance to take action.

Han Ning was a little surprised when he saw this scene from the sidelines.

Is O'Neal willing to double-team Dayao with others to defend?!

really!

Just as he expected!

When Dayao learns the independence of the golden rooster, his lethality will increase to the limit!

Just imagine, the future Nowitzki relied on this move to win the championship with a single core in an era when superstars like to team up!

Yao's height, wingspan, softness of hand, etc. are all more or less stronger than Nowitzki, or even on par.

Yao, who has learned the golden rooster independent move, is even more terrifying than Nowitzki!

The most important thing is that it has the bonus of practice cards.

Dayao's current level of Golden Rooster independence is even more skillful than the years when Nowitzki first used this move!

It is rare for the feet to run into the crotch or the knees to run into the crotch.

Therefore, it is normal for Phil Jackson and the Lakers players to think of no defensive methods.

That's how double-team defense appeared.

However, they seem to have forgotten.

Dayao also has some talent in passing.

Although I haven’t practiced it specifically yet.

But it’s not impossible to use!

"Pass the ball! Find an opportunity to pass the ball!" Han Ning stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly in Chinese.

After Dayao heard Han Ning's shout, he immediately knew what he should do.

Holding the ball high with both hands, he was constantly looking for space under the double-team of two people.
