"It's not easy to deal with now!" Old Dunleavy clapped his hands. Now the fox brother is also four offenders, and the inside group they are proud of is wiped out.

Jordan Jordan was already beaten by Yao Ming at this moment. Old Dunleavy thought about it and tried to make Yao Ming foul. But this substitution was too late. Yao Ming was in good condition now and couldn't even feel fatigue for the time being. How easy was it to make him foul?

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Yao Ming, who was crazy, scored four points again, scored 16 points in a single quarter, allowing the Rockets to lead the Clippers by 5 points into the last quarter.

Ji Guomo, who was originally crazy, fell silent in the last three minutes, but the Fox brother also scored 15 points in the third quarter and had three assists.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 70:75, and the Clippers were 5 points behind.

Yao Ming played in the third quarter, and what the two teams even more unexpected was that he had more playing time than the twin brothers in the third quarter.

The Clippers scored only 2 points in the last four minutes, and the offense suddenly silenced, allowing the Rockets to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers replaced: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Amir Johnson, and Ji Guoqiu.

Brother Panda only played seven minutes in the third quarter, and Dunleavy did not plan to replace him in the fourth quarter.

After the timeout in the third quarter, Dunleavy kept encouraging the players, "We played well, but we were just five points behind. We maintained high intensity in the fourth quarter. The Rockets kept playing poorly in the fourth quarter. We can end them in the fourth quarter!" Dunleavy was not a player who fooled him. Five points behind was indeed not a point difference that was difficult for the Clippers to catch up. It can even be said that the score difference of five points. They can complete the overtake in one minute.

The Rockets also know this. Adelman knows even more. Today's victory or defeat depends on whether the score can continue to be widened during the substitute period. The only thing the Rockets have an advantage over the Clippers is perhaps their substitute lineup.

Adelman replaced the fourth quarter: Brooks, Weifer, Ariza, Scola, Mutombo.

Scola did not get much performance opportunities today, and Adelman knew that he was better than David Lee on the offensive end. However, his disadvantages in footsteps would make the Clippers' inside line more difficult to deal with. With the pros and cons, Adelman would rather use David Lee in this round of series, and then let Scola bully the Clippers' substitute inside line.

However, Scola himself doesn't think so. Defense is not just about athleticism, otherwise he would not be able to lead Argentina to almost pull the US team down.

The inside combination of the Clippers in the fourth quarter was Ji Guoqiu and Amir Johnson and Scola used his own fantasy dance steps to sway Amir Johnson as soon as he got started. The latter had more experience than Jordan Jr. But in the final analysis, these two were both young men who played on their bodies. They could only be beaten when they encountered technical flow.

Scola scored four points in a row, and the difference immediately reached 9 points. Old Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout. Ji Guochou passed the ball twice before, but the Clippers players did not hit the Rockets' defense.

What should I do if I missed the ball? Old Dunleavy could only let Ji Guoqiu attack by himself. Crawford was obviously not in shape today, and he made 3 of 11 shots, and his shooting percentage was absolutely not good.

The Rockets are not stupid. Knowing that your character players are not shooting accurately, they will definitely double-team your core. After the game restarted, Brother Panda was indeed hit, and Crawford was the last shot.

There is a "clang" sound!

Crawford's shooting percentage turned into 3 of 12 shots. Now the shooting percentage is no longer low, but bad.

Old Dunleavy soon could not stand Crawford's chance to continue to squander the Clippers, and after the timeout, the lineup turned: Dragic, Avraro, Barnes, Jeffries, and Ji Guoqiu.

This time, the Clippers not only replaced Crawford, but also replaced Amir Johnson who was beaten by Scola, and used Jeffries to defend Scola.

Old Dunleavy's transformation of the formation achieved good results. Jeffries was not as easy as Amir Johnson to take fake moves. Scola's third move was finally disturbed and the basketball went out of the basket.

"Okay, let's be so defensive!" Ji Guochou loudly encouraged his teammates. Now he is 9 points behind, and chasing points must start with defense.

The Clippers did a good job in the defensive end, but they still didn't look too generous on the offensive end. Ji Guoqiu would be posted by the Rockets players without waiting for the placement, and they would be double-teamed as soon as they received the ball. The Rockets' strategy is to let other Clippers shoot, not let the Animal Brothers score.

Adelman had replaced Uncle Mu before and replaced David Li to play center. Although his height difference was quite large, David Li could keep up. Adelman told David Li not to wait for the position to defend, and once he passed the midfield, he would stick it up immediately to prevent Ji Guoqiu from receiving the ball.

At 9:30 in the fourth quarter, Old Dunleavy quickly changed to Billups. At this time, he had to change to another fulcrum to share the pressure on Ji Guochou.

The Rockets also replaced Marbury in advance. Adelman could guess with his butt. Old Dunleavy must replace Billups to solve the problem.

Billups went against Marbury. Although he used Ji Guoqiu's cover to break into the inside and made a layup, Marbury turned around and made a strong three-pointer, which widened the gap between the two teams to 10 points.

"Damn, if this continues, we will kneel down." Ji Guomo felt that this was not a solution. The Rockets returned to home today, and the whole team was in excellent condition. In addition, the referee no longer targeted Yao Ming, the Rockets became much stronger all of a sudden. Instead, it was the Clippers who were about to collapse in the fourth quarter. He quickly took the initiative to ask to play.

Old Dunleavy did not agree and asked him to rest for a while. Wait until the last 7 minutes, and he would naturally be sent to him.

With Billups' help, the two of them worked in a row to cooperate. Ji Guochou finally scored his first goal in the fourth quarter, which was an 18-foot high jump shot, and forced a shot in Scola's defense.

"This won't work. It's hard to kill a person with a high jump shot, and the shooting rate will not be high. You must make a quick counterattack or a three-pointer." Ji Guochou knew that such an offense was difficult to overtake the score. You must make an attack wave to get back to your disadvantages. The best way is to make a quick counterattack.

Adelman did not give the Clippers a chance to switch, and quickly replaced Ariza and Bathir to stabilize the team's defense. Now the Rockets are starting to play defensive counterattacks, and the gap between the coaches of the two teams is clear at a glance. Being able to use a good coach with a substitute lineup is definitely a good coach, including the later Haier Refrigerator.

If the main force is not strong, and the substitute power is naturally necessary to find the reason for the main force.

Under Ji Guoqiu's instructions, the Clippers played for a period of tight pressing defense, but Marbury's passing and control skills were solid, and the joint pressure was difficult to make him make mistakes like Westbrook. Instead, Ariza had an opportunity to relay in the air. Lao Ma passed the ball through the Clippers' defense with a single pass.

In the fourth quarter, 6 minutes and 55 seconds, the score became 78:88. After Billups came on the court, he helped the team stop the collapse rhythm, but he still couldn't catch up with points. The Rockets performed too well today.

Old Dunleavy replaced Ji Guomo and replaced Garcia with inexperienced Avraro. This was the final decisive battle.

The Rockets also replaced Yao Ming, and the main lineups were all back on the court.

The Rockets fans in the Toyota Center are cheering loudly for their home team. The Clippers are now 10 behind, which is not their biggest trouble. The Rockets' home atmosphere is the worst. This means it is difficult for them to exert all their energy. In such a fanatical atmosphere, the Rockets can exert 100% of their energy. One is rising and the other is getting worse. This is why the home advantage of the playoffs requires a full 82 regular season games to compete for.

Ji Guomeng was not as physically exhausted as he imagined in the fourth quarter. His recovery ability was much better than Yao Ming. After half a quarter of rest in the fourth quarter, he was still full of energy and could continue to charge. This little singer has the most experience.

"Our endurance is just a thrust!" Ji Guomei was heartless. At this time, he actually took the time to glance at Little Hermione, so angry that Ji Guoqiu wanted to kick him.

When the Clippers returned to the field, the Rockets did not dare to double-team the Animal Brothers easily. Ji Guohuo singled David. Li succeeded, and made both free throws, winning his third tenth.

Yao Ming also got a full rest. At this time, Ji Guoqiu's physical strength was a little unable to keep up. He went around to defend for a game. This kind of defense consumed more physical strength to the player. As long as Yao Ming's weight of more than 300 pounds, Ji Guoqiu and him struggled all the way. If someone else was replaced, he would probably be exhausted. However, Ji Guoqiu could still attack and defend, and his physical strength was also abnormal.

"Damn it, it seems that I wasn't that tired of playing against the Lakers last year?" Ji Guomori felt that playing against the Rockets today was completely beyond my expectations. He thought it would be very relaxed, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Then you need to say, sister-in-law is so soft. It's easier to play the Lakers than the Rockets." Ji Guochou felt that at least he wouldn't be so tired when he beat the Lakers, and he could bully the soft sister-in-law.

The two brothers were thinking that Yao Ming received the basketball in the inside again. After the first two games, the Rockets also found some ways to crack the Clippers' defense around the front. Once Yao Ming could receive the basketball, Ji Guoqiu could only try to stretch his arms to interfere, but Yao Ming's hook in the penalty area was really unsolvable. The basketball crossed Ji Guoqiu's head and accurately fell into the basket.

The Clippers attacked, Ji Guomo made a jump shot, and Marbury immediately assisted Bathir to make a long-range three-pointer. The Clippers' efforts to chase points were shattered again and again under the unity of the Rockets.

Billups made a move from the outside at a critical moment, tricking Marbury into a foul, and made all three free throws to catch the score to 9 points.

Ariza missed a three-pointer from the left wing, but Ji Guomeng's fast break dunk was dunked by a terrible reason. Bathir got Ji Guomeng's basketball dunk, and the Rockets immediately launched a counterattack. Yao Ming had not run through the midfield yet and fell to the last one. At this time, he turned around and became the first person to take the fast break.

However, what made Yao Ming embarrassed was that he started half a field in advance and was caught up by two brothers at the basket. What is this speed? It’s simply a slap!

Rockets fans think that it seems that Yao Ming is too slow. At this speed of the little giant, he really needs to buy a recharge plug-in to improve it. He can't look directly at it.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Marbury who followed up, and the lone wolf scored the ball. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets led by 11 points again.

With less than four minutes left in the game, Ji Guoqiu forced a breakthrough and made a layup, chasing the score to 88:97. Then the Clippers did not panic and continued to play steadily and chased slowly. Ji Guomo's defensive end intercepted Yao Ming, who was somewhat exhausted, made a quick break layup, and the Clippers narrowed the gap to 7 points.

Unfortunately, when the Rockets arrive at the critical moment today, someone will definitely stand up. Marbury, who performed equally well today, made another buzzer-beating three-pointer, curbing the Clippers' counterattack, and the score difference is back to 10 points.

Then Yao Ming used his last physical strength to score two goals in a row. In the last 50 seconds of the game, the score was 94:104. The Clippers were still 10 points behind. Ji Guoqiu was sent off for 6 full breaches, and the Clippers' hope of turning over was completely lost.

"Damn, I can't win the ball even if I get a triple-double. It's a hell!" Ji Guochou cursed and sweared in a rare manner when he left the court. He got a triple-double today, but he also left the court with six fouls. The team lost the ball and did not get the joy of a triple-double at all.

The final score was 98:108. The Rockets took advantage of the home court advantage and performed well in the team. With the explosive appearance of Yao Ming and Marbury, they finally avoided the tragedy of 0:3 behind. The Rockets didn't want to be swept. Now they won the first home court, and everything became different. As long as they won the second home court, the two teams will return to the same starting line. It is still unclear who will live or die.

Ji Guochou scored 12 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks in this game, Ji Guomo was 32 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, Billups scored 15 points and 5 assists, and Crawford scored 6 points.
