"This is our home court and we need to defend it..."

During halftime, Jerry Sloan angrily scolded the players in the locker room, blaming them for not playing tough enough and not fouling hard enough.

Deron Williams was a little dissatisfied. He wanted to tell Sloan that the referee did not give too many home whistles today and he was called for a foul after making the slightest move.

If he continues to commit brutal fouls under this situation, I'm afraid he will have to leave the game with six fouls in less than three quarters.

It's a pity that Delong's status is not as good as Sloan's now, so he dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

Others, under Sloan's scolding, expressed that they would play tougher in the second half.

Jerry Sloan was then satisfied.

In fact, he also noticed that the referee's penalty was not as biased as the Jazz in the previous game, and he also knew that if he continued to make small moves in this situation, he would be called a foul, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

But he still chose this arrangement. He wanted to express his dissatisfaction to the referee and put pressure on the referee.

If the referee really dares to blow a few Jazz players down, the fans at the scene will explode.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Jazz players became much tougher.

Actions that I didn't dare to do in the first half are now appearing again and again.

The referee gave two whistles at first, but the Jazz players refused to change their ways.

This makes things difficult for the referee.

If the whistle continues, Boozer, Deron, and Okur may all be sent off.

Sending off a star can easily cause controversy. If multiple stars are sent off, they may all be investigated.

If a referee repeatedly ejects a star player in the playoffs, he will definitely be fired.

Without the star, the fans would still be disappointed.

When the Jazz attacked, Boozer pushed Zhang Zhiyuan, then got space to catch the ball, jumped up and shot, and the ball went in.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, so Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't protest. After all, he said before that only children complain.

The Rockets attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan moved. Boozer was worried that he would not be able to catch up, so he got close to Zhang Zhiyuan before he started, and reached his hand under Zhang Zhiyuan's armpit. Their hands were entangled.

Zhang Zhiyuan threw him hard, broke free and slapped Boozer on the face.

"Fake Squid."

Boozer pushed Zhang Zhiyuan hard, and Zhang Zhiyuan raised his hands to show his innocence.

Alston stepped in to support the situation and almost caused a conflict.

The whistle sounded and the referee had to blow the foul.

However, what shocked Zhang Zhiyuan was that in the end, the referee only called Boozer a common foul and not even a technical foul.

And he and Alston were only warned, nothing happened.

If this was left for 10 years, this kind of conflict would have to be at least given to a technical prisoner, and maybe even deported.

Zhang Zhiyuan noticed that the scale of penalties was becoming looser.

Fortunately, the referee seemed to be unbiased.

The Jazz were attacking, and Zhang Zhiyuan was also quietly tugging on Boozer's jersey.

This small move has little effect, but it can make the opponent feel sick and angry.

Deron hit the basket, causing Yao Ming's thug to foul and went to the free throw line.

Van Gundy protested violently off the court, believing that Yao Ming did not foul.

During the transition between offense and defense, Boozer, who was almost dead from exhaustion, didn't want to run with Zhang Zhiyuan, so he grabbed Zhang Zhiyuan's shorts. Zhang Zhiyuan pushed Boozer, but Boozer fell to the ground but forgot to let go, and Zhang Zhiyuan's shorts were pulled off.

The scene was once indecent.

"I'm going to sue him for sexual harassment."

Zhang Zhiyuan said to the referee.

"He's pushing people, he's pushing people."

Boozer also protested righteously.

This farce angered the referee, who gave Zhang Zhiyuan and Boozer a technical foul respectively, showing their bottom line.

"Jazz played really dirty, there were too many little tricks."

"This is a Jazz tradition, ever since Marlon Stockton."

"Fuck, if you can't beat me, take off your pants. Why doesn't Boozer go beat wnba?"

"Fortunately, Brother Zhang is wearing underwear."

...

Chinese fans automatically ignored the Rockets players' little moves, and when they caught the Jazz's little moves, they became messengers of justice and angrily criticized them.

As for those neutral fans in North America, their first feeling is that this is the real playoffs.

The game continued. After being warned by the technical offender, Zhang Zhiyuan and Boozer restrained themselves, but the others still punched hard.

When Deron and Alston were fighting for the basketball, no one knew what happened. Anyway, Alston started bleeding from the corners of his eyes. Fans who didn't know the power of NBA players' elbows might have suspected that the Jazz player had a wrench hidden in his crotch.

The Jazz players are tough, but the Rockets are not soft either.

In the end, the main factor that affects the outcome of the game is strength.

The Big Three of the Rockets are showing off their power, while the Jazz are exhausted.

Yao Ming caught the ball under the basket, Okur blocked it from behind, and Kirilenko ran to double-team and steal the ball.

Yao Ming passed the ball to the outside, McGrady received the ball, Halprin made up the defense, and McGrady passed the ball again.

Battier helped Zhang Zhiyuan block Boozer, Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and hit two points.

The Jazz counterattacked, Boozer took a mid-range shot, Zhang Zhiyuan covered his eyes to defend, and the ball missed.

During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan threw Boozer away to catch the ball, Kirilenko made a defense, Zhang Zhiyuan distributed the ball, and Battier took an open shot and hit the ball.

When the "buy up" combination is present, the Jazz are prone to loopholes.

Especially when Boozer couldn't guard Zhang Zhiyuan, this vulnerability became even greater.

Zhang Zhiyuan got better and better as he fought, while Boozer got worse and worse and became more and more angry.

The angrier he gets, the more attributes will be sucked away, the greater the gap between him and Zhang Zhiyuan, and the worse his performance will be.

In a vicious cycle, Boozer performed undercover in the third quarter.

He only scored two points on 1 of 6 shots. Zhang Zhiyuan, who was on guard, scored 9 points and 2 assists on 4 of 5 shots.

At the end of the third quarter, 88 to 64, the Rockets already led by 24 points.

It can be said that the game has been spent.

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz did not play the main force and Jerry Sloan had given up.

Yao Mai of the Rockets also did not play, and Zhang Zhiyuan was on the court alone to lead the substitutes.

Van Gundy is helping Zhang Zhiyuan achieve his goals. After all, Zhang Zhiyuan's playoff score in this game is expected to hit a new high.

Zhang Zhiyuan was not polite to Van Gundy and was ready to transform into Kobe and take over the game.

He first used the fetter chain on Jilishek, who was facing him, and then started to fight in singles.

He turned his back and passed Jilishek, gaining space to take action immediately.

This opportunity is not very good, but it is enough.

Gilisek was never Zhang Zhiyuan's opponent, and now that he has been weakened, he cannot interfere with Zhang Zhiyuan too much.

The ball goes in.

"It's 23 points, tying his highest score in the playoffs."

Sun Zhengping has been counting his scores for a long time.

"We will definitely break the record today."

Zhang Lili agreed.

The Jazz counterattacked and Fisher hit from mid-range.

During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, and his teammates helped him cover and block people.

Then Zhang Zhiyuan took the ball and hit again.

"25, a new high in points scored in the playoffs."

Sun Zhengping shouted.

"It's amazing."

Chinese fans cheered.

After Zhang Zhiyuan scored two goals in a row, the Jazz began to double-team him to prevent him.
