    ? After a short break, the players returned to the field. Amidst the warm cheers of the home fans at the Compaq Sports Center, the second quarter began.

    Unexpectedly, the Rockets were caught off guard by the opponent at the beginning of the second quarter. The experienced head coach Popovich of the Spurs was even more seasoned, and he took the lead in the second quarter.

    The tactics changed from man-to-man to zone defense, focusing on limiting the performance of the Rockets' best sixth man Russell. This sudden tactical change expanded the defensive area, and the Rockets' peripheral shooters collectively misfired.

    Led by the bench bandit Lums, the Spurs' substitute players played an 8-0 spurt. The score between the two sides became 42:41, only one point behind the Rockets.

    Rockets head coach Tomjanovich immediately called a timeout and arranged tactics in a targeted manner. After three and a half minutes in the second quarter, he replaced the main force again.

    The Spurs did not dare to neglect, David Robinson led a group of starting stars to reappear, and the battle for the strongest lineup between the two sides began again.

    The head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, immediately changed his tactics and adopted a resolute double-team tactic against Olajuwon, trying his best to block the passing line, forcing Olajuwon to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent in the triangle area, and it was difficult to get an easy shot.  .

    The Spurs would rather let go of peripheral scoring, but also resolutely want to contain the team's central axis Olajuwon. Once the peripheral offense is not smooth, the Rockets' offensive rhythm will fall into a quagmire.

    Popovich's gamble paid off, and the Rockets' offensive efficiency suddenly dropped to a level.

    Facing the tactical changes on the court, the main center was double-teamed by the opponent on the inside, while the outside players felt cold and couldn't shoot when the opportunity came up. The Rockets made 1 of 6 three-pointers, and their shooting percentage was simply pitiful.

    In this crucial game, the defensive strength on the court was abnormally strengthened. In the fierce physical confrontation, the players on both sides lost all their touch and turned into blacksmiths for several consecutive rounds.

    In the last minute of the second quarter, the outside shooter of the Spurs made two consecutive three-pointers to overtake the score.

    The two sides scored 51:53, and the Spurs took the lead for the first time.

    The halftime whistle sounded, and the Spurs left the field amid cheers. On the other hand, the Rockets were in a bad mood. Olajuwon took the lead into the player channel without saying a word, with a very serious expression on his face.

    The second quarter was played too badly. Not only was the eight-point lead eroded, but they also lost two points during the intermission. The state of the Rockets collectively fell into a low ebb.

    No one wants to do this, the game is like this.

    ? How to shoot when the hand feels hot, how to shoot when the hand feels cold, and being guarded as a blacksmith, the player's emotions greatly affect the competitive state.

    In this regard, Wang Yaocheng has nothing against the sky.

    ?Professional sports competitions are very professionally divided. The team has a head coach to arrange tactics, an assistant coach to train, and a locker room leader to coordinate team chemistry.

    The existence of Wang Yaocheng is more symbolic, more like a Christmas grandfather.

    so;

    As the owner of the richest team in the league, Wang Yaocheng bought more than 16,000 spectators at the Compaq Sports Center during the halftime break. Each of them bought a KFC meal and Coca-Cola water. This move once again won a lot of applause.

    Pitiful!  The Rockets fans who have been waiting for more than ten years have finally hoped for a generous team owner.

    Former Rockets owner Charlie Thomas is barely a multi-millionaire, and his total assets have never reached hundreds of millions. For more than ten years, he has never bought a KFC meal or Coke water for the audience.

    The boss king is generous, the key is his wealth, which is also one of the best among the team owners in the entire NBA league.

    Since Wang Yaocheng joined the Rockets, Rockets fans have enjoyed this kind of treatment no less than five times, becoming the happiest fans in the whole meter.

    For Wang Yaocheng, spending more than 300,000 U.S. dollars each time means being recognized by more than 16,000 Texans, and he can gain considerable favorability. The reputation of generosity and friendliness is indispensable.

    The subtle expansion of influence is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

    Most people don't care about this kind of huge influence, and neither the Texas political circle nor the big figures of the two parties will ignore it, because these fans hold crucial votes in their hands.

    In a fiercely contested campaign, Wang Yaocheng's inclination is very important.

    In the upcoming 1996 mid-term elections, even if you don¡¯t support a certain party with a clear banner, you only need to step out at a critical moment in the campaign and slam a party¡¯s Senate and House of Representatives or governor candidates.

    Hehe, that would be a lot of fun, and it is possible to change the result of the entire election.

    &nbs?Position outside shooter Hawley, it is too late for the Spurs to make up defense, outside shooter Hawley is completely emptied.

    Hawley made a decisive shot, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and entered the basket hollowly, and the three-pointer was effective.

    At this time, the score on the field was rewritten to 112:111, the Rockets took the lead, and there were two seconds left in the time.

    The Spurs were completely forced to the cliff. If they lose this crucial game, the Spurs will go home and bid farewell to this season.

    They did not give up their last hope, and still called a timeout. The head coach Popovich arranged tactics nervously, trying to make strange moves.

    The miracle did not happen, and the god of destiny finally sided with the Rockets. Amid the crazy drumming of the fans, even Wang Yaocheng waved a towel desperately to interfere with the Spurs pitchers.

    Looms, who got the ball from the Spurs, made a hasty shot and even made a three-point shot.

    Following the head coach's long whistle at the end of the game, the game ended. The Rockets defeated their opponents in a thrilling 112:111 and entered the finals with their heads held high, truly creating league history.

    As the sixth place in the regular season with 47 wins and 35 losses, the Rockets eliminated the 60-win Jazz, which ranked second in the regular season, in the first round of the playoffs.

    In the Western Conference semifinals, the Suns, which placed third in the regular season and won 59 wins, were eliminated.

    In the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs, which won the first place in the regular season and won 62 wins, were eliminated again. This is unprecedented in the history of the league's record.

    If they can overthrow the Eastern cutting-edge magic team and win the league championship, the Rockets will win the league championship four times in a row, win the league championship after 1994, and win the O'Brien Cup again. How amazing it would be  Miracle!

    Competitive sports are so fascinating, isn't it the inspiration brought by the fighting spirit of never giving up, which is full of infinite charm.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
