Chapter 298 297: God is literally playing basketball wearing the No. 23 jersey tonight (thanks to the 20,000 reward from Mr. Xue)

Shea successfully equalized the score and increased his personal score to 51 points.

After returning to the game, Shay cleared away the dark clouds and brought sunshine back to the entire Great Western Forum.

Although they had only tied the score, the Lakers had already gained momentum. The Lakers fans at the scene had changed from nervousness and uneasiness to restlessness and excitement.

And Drexler never misses this kind of highlight moment. The scene where he was grabbed from behind by Shea and landed on his butt has become a classic moment in this year's playoffs.

Once again, the glider was gliding crazily on the ground with its buttocks.

Shay's performance after coming on the court was so eye-catching that Tomjanovich began to doubt whether his strategy was correct.

I thought that Shea's shooting would not be stable from beginning to end, but for today, except for the beginning of the fourth quarter, Shea's shooting percentage has been quite stable.

Moreover, the Rockets' shooting percentage today is also very high. It can be said that it is higher than the average level.

Because of their high morale, the Rockets are in the best shape of the season today.

This also means that it will be difficult for the Rockets to perform in the same state as tonight in subsequent games!

The players have already performed 120%. If they lose tonight, it will be a disastrous blow to the morale of the entire team!

Although Tomjanovich is a master of chicken soup, chicken soup is no better than Shitu's.

Drinking too much chicken soup will make you vomit!

Therefore, although tonight is only the first game of the series, it is not much different from a life and death battle for the Rockets.

The Rockets must not lose this game, they must win it!

Because of this, Shay's state made Tomjanovich feel very desperate.

If a Rockets team at 120% cannot defeat the Lakers, how can they win later?

Tomjanovich could only place his hope on the players, and he could only pray that Shea's magical performance would not last until the last second.

The Rockets attacked, and this time Cassel's mid-range shot was still a solid hit.

The good news is that the Rockets' offensive firepower has not been interrupted.

It just depends on who will miss consecutively first.

After the Lakers counterattacked, Cassel went to double-check Shea in the mid-range. Shea immediately gave the ball to Dell Curry. This time, the inferior horse was not fooled by Cassel's appearance and made a solid three-pointer!

Tomjanovich immediately yelled from the sidelines: "Don't attack from a high position without permission!"

The Rockets' strategy today is to give Shea a one-on-one opportunity in the high post. Because Shea has no three-point ability, no matter how efficient the one-on-one situation is, Shea can only score 2 points and 2 points.

But if they attack directly from the high post, the Lakers' three-point shot may also miss.

That was an outcome Tomjanovich couldn't accept.

He must stick to the strategy of "betting on Shai's mid-range shot to kill the game" to the end!

So after this round, Shay once again got the opportunity to fight one-on-one in the middle distance without anyone attacking him.

He also ended the attack again without mercy.

Shay's shooting stability today has been very good, on par with the Rockets who are in full swing.

His personal score is also rising all the way, and every time he scores a goal, it can stir up waves of people in the stands.

Poor Mario Eli, this is probably the most unforgivable night of his career.

He watched as Shai dribbled past him with exquisite dribbling, then grabbed the slightest bit of space and made a shot.

He watched Shea get rid of himself with a quick run without the ball, and then steadily put the ball in while he was still gasping for air.

After Shea tied the score, he made another 3 of 4 shots, and all three were difficult goals.

The efficiency is so high that there is no sign of a drop in hit rate.

One and a half minutes before the end of the game, Mario Eli looked at Shea's 57-point data on the big screen and fell into deep thought.

this guy

Does he really not have any sage time!?

At this time, the Rockets still led by 1 point. Olajuwon used dream dance moves to fly Mutombo under the basket and then hit a layup.

Olajuwon's feint just now left Mutombo unresponsive like a fool.

After receiving the ball, Dameng first turned toward the baseline, but then suddenly turned left again after half a turn.

But halfway through the turn, Olajuwon turned to the right again and raised the basketball as if he was going to turn over and shoot a jump shot.

Mutombo didn't jump, he just raised his arms to block the attack, his center of gravity slightly changing.

But Dameng caught Mutombo's slight change in center of gravity, immediately stopped shooting, took a step forward and passed by the African mountain, and put the ball into the basket with one hand. In a short period of time, O'Brien

Rajuwan made three consecutive fake moves to finish!

Olajuwon is simply a Swiss Army Knife, capable of handling any defensive situation.

After this layup, the Lakers paused the game.

Olajuwon did not walk off the court directly, but put his hands on his knees and took two deep breaths.

Even though Olajuwon was still able to play Mutombo under the basket just now, the 34-year-old Dream has actually been pushed to the limit!

The big dream this season is that he averaged 36.1 minutes per game, a career low since his rookie season.

But today, Olajuwon only rested for three minutes, only one minute more than Shay.

The last time Dameng was so tired was during the first week of his marriage to his 18-year-old wife. Let’s put it this way, when he got out of bed on the seventh day, Dameng felt like the sky was spinning.

Today, Dameng felt the breathless feeling again.

No sweet wife will always be 18, but Shay can always take you back to the summer when you were 18!

It can be seen that Da Meng has tried his best.

The Houston Rockets let out their last roar!

Olajuwon did everything he could. Now, it depends on whether Shai can take the lead again.

The entire Rockets team is waiting for Shay's critical moment!

After the timeout, the game continued. In the timeout just now, Carlisle did not arrange any tactics.

Because that timeout was called just to let Shay rest.

Shay, who has already scored 57 points, holds the ball close to half court.

Mario Eli has become an emotional backdrop. He finally knows why Drexler couldn't help but smile when he learned that he was going to defend Shay before the game started.

Facing Shay is simply a kind of torture!

Shay approached Eli without calling any tactics or making any unnecessary movements.

He leaned against Eli with his back, used his strength to push one step inside the three-point line, shook his shoulders, turned around, and shot a jumper, cleanly!

Shay still has no iron!

Tomjanovich closed his eyes, Shea has scored 59 points today!

Shay's scoring distribution today included 13 points from free throws and 12 points from the penalty area.

The remaining 34 points are all mid-range jumpers!

The Lakers went ahead by 1 point, and now the pressure is on the Rockets again.

At critical moments, the Rockets' first choice is naturally Olajuwon.

But Mutombo's forward defense prevented Cassel from risking the pass.

Olajuwon tried to get around Mutombo's defense, but whenever Dameng made any move, Mutombo would directly elbow him to greet him.

Although Dameng has scored 33 points today, Mutombo has never been knocked down mentally.

Every time he defended, he tried his best and showed no signs of weakness.

Blocking, elbowing, moving forward, blocking again, elbowing again, moving forward again, the war between the two giants has already entered a fierce stage before catching the ball.

Dameng glanced at Ewing, who was wearing training clothes and cheering for his teammates on the sidelines.

Mutombo's performance reminded Big Dream of the gorilla's tenacious defense in the 1984 NCAA Finals.

In that game, the statistics of Dameng and Gorilla were actually not good. Gorilla had 10 points and 9 rebounds, but Dameng was limited to only 15 points.

The reason why Gorilla had the last laugh was its tough defense that fought for every ball, making Dameng uncomfortable in every round.

No matter how many points you score on him or how many times you defeat him, he will never admit defeat!

Mutombo perfectly inherited Ewing's spirit.

No, it's not just Mutombo.

Why isn't Shay tough on the offensive end?
