The Clippers players were mentally prepared and returned to the court to prepare for the Rockets' counterattack. They also knew that by resisting the enemy's offensive at the end of the third quarter, they could win the final victory of the game.

The Rockets know even more that they must seize the team’s hot state during this period and put all their chips on. Success or failure will be the first to take place!

Adelman replaced the team's most attacking lineup: Brooks, Marbury, Weaver, David Lee, and Yao Ming.

The Clippers replaced the best lineup with defense: Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqie.

The two opposing contests of defense and offense have no distinction between themselves, and only the strength of the players on the field affects the final result.

The Clippers have the best inside combination of defensive teams, and both fans and Clippers players have sufficient confidence in such a battle. However, the Rockets are fighting against the ground again at this moment. Under the stimulation of life and death, the Rockets players have fully realized their potential, especially Yao Ming. The Little Giant clearly wants to play the third quarter, and he wants to use his peak battle to make his last fight.

Ji Guoqiu assisted Billups to make a three-pointer after the timeout. Although the Clippers' main task at the end of the third quarter was defense, it does not mean that they do not attack. If the Rockets do not focus on the defensive end, perhaps their last attempt has not begun and they will fall to the starting point.

The Rockets attacked, Marbury and Yao Ming played pick-and-roll, and the little giants got the pass and were immediately double-teamed by two brothers.

Yao Ming did not give the two the chance to intercept the ball, and quickly transferred the basketball to the weak bottom corner, and Weaver received the ball and made a three-pointer.

After the timeout, the Rockets' defensive strategy is to shrink and protect the inside. The Clippers are not accurate in betting on three-pointers. Adelman made another gambling. When your team does not have an advantage in strength. If you want to win, you can only rely on your opponent to make mistakes or gamble. Of course, the Clippers will not make mistakes by themselves, so the Rockets can only gamble.

Brooks broke through with the ball, and with the help of Yao Ming's cover, he directly stopped and jumped at the horn position...

Ji Guomeng made up for defense in time, and his finger almost touched the basketball, which was a defense second only to the block. But Xiao Hei Dou still shot the basketball in.

"Damn, if you can get in, I can get in too!" Ji Guomeng turned around and broke through with the ball, singled out David Li, and made a difficult shot from the backward jump shot.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming and David Li ran across, and the little giant got a one-on-one chance, played singles on his back, and quickly turned around and threw the ball.

Marbury made a breakthrough jump shot, causing Ji Guoxi to assist in defense foul.

During this period, Ji Guomo has been assisting in defense and double-teaming the Rockets' ball holder on the defensive end. He will clamp whoever has the ball. It seems that some fans still remember that he sprained his ankle just now? Why does this look more energetic?

Ji Guomeng made four fouls this time, and some commentators felt that his assisted defense was too active because the Rockets players could still throw the ball in, and his assisted defense did not achieve much effect. But they didn't think about how much character the Rockets players had wasted because of this. In this state, it would never last. Once the ** passes, it will then slide straight down.

Taylor Swift was cheering for his boyfriend like a crazy fan. He forgot that the dead fox didn't support her concert a few days ago, and the two even had a fight over it.

It has been a year and a half since the two bitches dating. The first year they were the most fucked. Ji Guomeng often went to the concerts of the little singers, and the latter also watched the game at almost every home court.

However, a year later, the Dead Fox gradually became too lazy to watch Taylor Swift's concert. Anyway, no matter how good the singer is, there are only a few good songs back and forth. The little singer just debuted a few years ago, Ji Guomeng complained that she had only those few songs in her heart, and she was too lazy to listen to them again. Instead of listening to the song, it would be better to listen to **. Ji Guomeng thought this was better.

Although the two of them had a small fight every now and then, there were no rumors of breaking up.

Basically, as long as the media reports that the dead fox is suspected of having an affair with a certain British star, the little singer will definitely find an excuse to argue and vent her dissatisfaction. Then a few days later, the two bitches don’t know why, they gather together and roll the sheets, then go out to watch a movie, have a meal, and the relationship will automatically recover.

This time, Ji Guomeng took out his strength with Taylor Swift xxoo and shuttled back and forth on the court, inside and outside, back and forth, in and out, and endurance was indeed not a block. He sent three blocks in the third quarter, proving that his defense was not excessive.

The Rockets players are in such a hot state. If the Fox brother didn't put out the fires everywhere and put out the fires everywhere, maybe a torch would have burned the Clippers all over.

"Damn, next season, I will be the best defensive player!" Ji Guomo believes that his defense is better than the Dead Pandas. Which team is the core of the team who works as hard as he defends?

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 88:87. The Rockets opened fire in the third quarter and scored 37 points in a single quarter, which was a very high score in the playoffs.

However, the Rockets dug too big in the first half. Even if they win 13 points in a single quarter, the total score is still behind the Clippers.

Ji Guoqiu scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomiang scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, Billups scored 15 points and 5 assists, and Crawford scored 10 points.

Yao Ming scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, Marbury scored 13 points, 8 assists, Scola scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, David Lee scored 4 points and 5 rebounds, Brooks scored 15 points, Battier scored 5 points, Weaver scored 8 points, and Ariza scored 5 points.

"They are almost out of reach. We have consumed them seriously in the third quarter. As long as we pass the last few minutes, the Rockets will defeat themselves." Old Dunleavy said this without blushing at all. In fact, the Rockets players bet all their energy on the offense, and their focused attitude makes them feel less tired.

Ji Guomo made himself tired as a dog. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by this old man. He really thought that the Rockets would be exhausted in the fourth quarter. But in fact, defense is more physically consuming than offense. To be precise, the teams that have the upper hand consume less physically than the teams that have fallen at a disadvantage. People don’t feel tired when their morale is high. Once the Suns and the Warriors were crazy, they could even run from beginning to end.

"The coach is right, we are indeed not in a hurry. As strong as Duncan, it is impossible to lead the Spurs as steady as Mount Tai in every game. We just need to play at our own pace. Once we play a wave of **, the Rockets' tone will be dissipated." Ji Guoqiu was the most sober. He knew that no matter whether the Rockets players were tired or not, whether old Dunleavy fooled them, at least the Rockets players would rely on this tone to support themselves. Once the Clippers themselves attacked, they could stabilize. The Rockets would definitely collapse.

So, will the Rockets collapse?

At least during the substitute period, the Rockets' second team has always had the advantage, so it is very likely that the Clippers will collapse first in the fourth quarter. Once they are overtaken, the Rockets will be more motivated. Without two brothers on the court, the Clippers may not be able to maintain a stable defense in the first three quarters.

In the last quarter, the Rockets were sent: Brooks, Lowry, Ariza, Scola, and Mutombo.

The Clippers sent: Dragic, Crawford, Avraro, Amir Johnson, and Jordan Jr.

Adelman showed his skills in the arrangement of troops. In the third quarter, he considered his plan to defeat the Clippers with a substitute lineup in the fourth quarter in advance. So he replaced Ariza and Scola in advance and saved it for the first stage of the fourth quarter. The purpose was to use Ariza to defend Crawford, and then use Scola to attack the two substitute inside the Clippers. He really had a good game.

The commentators who knew the ball naturally guessed the purpose of Adelman's use of troops in this way, and they all mocked the Clippers without any trace.

During the regular season, Dunleavy was able to use Jeffries, Dundee Jones and others, but Dunleavy did not dare to use them in the playoffs. He was frequently at a disadvantage in rotation. This has been fully reflected in the playoffs last season, but the Clippers were the winners in the end, so everyone did not pay attention to Dunleavy's problem.

In the final quarter, Ariza first scored a layup, and then Lowry and Brooks contributed two consecutive three-pointers.

On the Clippers' side, Crawford finally showed his value. He took two difficult moves and scored the ball on Ariza's head. Fortunately, his double-edged sword was stabbed in the enemy at a critical moment today, but he did not stab himself.

However, the Rockets' Scola made Amir and Johnson twice in a row. Although this black and hard man is much better than Jordan Jordan, his IQ is only a little stronger. So when facing the cunning Scola, he can only be fooled like a stupid bear.

Dragic broke through Brooks and caused the latter to foul, and the Latvians had much higher IQ. He knew that Brooks' weakness was height, so he decisively used his height to bully his opponent, and the breakthrough was completely for the purpose of creating a foul.

The Clippers made one of two free throws. The next time, Jordan Jr. finally performed on the defensive end. When Scola made a third low attack, he quickly rushed from one side to assist in defense, and used his outstanding bounce to influence Scola's shooting. The Argentine Actor finally got no points in this goal.

The Clippers immediately launched a fast break when they grabbed the rebound. Dragic received a basketball and made a layup, causing Brooks to foul again, and made both free throws.

At 7 minutes and 40 seconds in the fourth quarter, Dragic played in a state and continued to force Brooks. Although his final layup was slapped off the court by Uncle Mu, he had completed his own task and helped the team survive the substitute period. The two brothers who had already been waiting for the dead ball on the sidelines returned to the court.

With a score of 95:97, the Rockets' substitute lineup surpassed the score difference by two points, but this advantage does not seem to be enough for the Rockets.

Dragic has become the most outstanding player in the Clippers' bench lineup during this period. He used his body to beat Brooks.

Now seeing the two brothers returning to the court, Yao Ming couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask to play early.

Adelman considered it and did not refuse this time, allowing the little giant and the animal brothers to return to the field at the same time.

Anyway, if you lose this game, this is the last one, and you don’t need to think about that much.

"Brother Yao, aren't you tired after you come up so soon?" Ji Guomeng said to Yao Ming with a smile. He rested for four minutes and his physical strength has recovered a lot. As long as he no longer plays as hard as he defends in the third quarter, he will have no problem after the remaining seven minutes, and Yao Ming may not be able to do it.

"You kid has committed four fouls? Be careful and have no place to use your strength." Yao Ming would not suffer such a loss. He didn't talk much, but his counterattack was very sharp, but he was not as easy to bully as black and hard.

Ji Guomo smiled in disappointment. Yao Ming had only committed three fouls today, but he committed four fouls, and the giant panda also committed four fouls. If the referee shook a little in the fourth quarter, they would be tragic. Maybe they really have the energy to have no place to use it.
