Chapter 176 (170) Fighting Auburn Hills
In the last 1 minute and 28 seconds, Bodi Luojia held the ball, and Jefferson stared at his opponent closely as if he was facing a big enemy.In the second half alone, Bodi Loga scored 21 points and 5 assists. His magical performance is the key to the Pistons' ability to fight the Rockets so far.

"This guy is indeed stronger than me, but I just need to defend this shot! Let me win once!" Jefferson gritted his teeth, ready to fight.

Bodi Loga retreated a little while dribbling to open up some space, and then started to accelerate.Jefferson clung to it, and although he didn't stop his opponent's advance, he wasn't passed.Reed did not know when he appeared beside Jefferson, and the two formed a double-team to force the opponent to stop.Bodi Loga took his time, stopped the ball and turned around to make a jump shot. Jefferson immediately jumped up to block the shot.

"Cheated!" In an instant, Jefferson's heart was dark.

Bodi Loga received the ball, turned and stepped halfway from Jefferson's jumping position, and shot the basket.

Hit the iron!Bodi Loga has been carrying it for too long, and his physical fitness is gradually exhausted. It is normal to miss such a difficult shot at the last moment.Bosh grabs the rebound.

"Fast break!" Bosh yelled, throwing the ball to Billups who was running forward.

Prince jumped up across the ground, and suddenly his long arms soared and cut the pass abruptly.Hamilton grabbed the ball ahead of Billups, still in possession of the Pistons.

"Damn it!" Bosh was annoyed, and the great chance of overtaking was only a hair's breadth away.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Rockets' formation, Hamilton made a mid-range shot after two dribbles. Unfortunately, the shot was a bit hasty and missed.

Campbell squeezed Yao Ming desperately, McDyess grabbed the offensive rebound and made another hit! 93:95 The home team regained the lead.

Tang Shuai requested a timeout.

"The ball just now was all my fault!" Bosh apologized hastily: "I made a pass error and didn't grab a rebound, and McDyess scored."

"No one blames you, Chris." Tomjanovich said calmly, "I wanted to let Wang play after a timeout, but you say so, let you play."

"I think it's good. If you lose points, you can get them back. Come on!" Da Zhi also supported his little brother.

"We believe in you, Chris!" Yuan Fei also said.

"Leave it to me!" Bosh roared.

The home audience kept yelling "defense" and "defense".As long as they keep this ball, their chances of winning are great.

Reid, who performed well in the first two games, was firmly watched by Prince, and it was difficult to connect the ball.The eyes of Pistons fans are all focused on Yao Ming, they think the Rockets will definitely hand over the ball to Yao Ming.But Yao Ming couldn't run anymore, and his presence almost had a deterrent effect left.

Jefferson singled out Hamilton, and it was a battle of the two Richards.Jefferson dribbled the ball with his left hand, took two steps, dribbled behind his back and switched to shooting with his right hand, and the ball bounced out of the frame.Yao Ming blocked Campbell on the left side of the basket, but unfortunately the ball bounced to the right, and McDyess was about to receive the ball.

Bosh sprang up from the free throw line and intercepted the ball in the air.But he couldn't stop the car too fast and was about to rush out of the bottom line. He turned around suddenly and hit the ball on McDyess's feet out of bounds.The referee determined that the Rockets had the right to the ball.

"Good job, Chris!" Billups patted Bosh on the shoulder, secretly admiring Tang Shuai.It was indeed right to trust Bosh, this kid made a great contribution at a critical moment.

With 29 seconds left in the game, Bosh sent the ball to the frontcourt. The Pistons players did not dare to miss anything at the last moment. Campbell and McDyess closely guarded Yao Ming who was at the basket, for fear of being directly scored by the opponent when the ball was sent to the basket.Prince also stared at Reed in the left corner, and he would never let Reed take another three-pointer.

But in this way, there is a little gap in the right bottom corner. Billups gets the ball, and Bodi Loga is still hesitating to defend Chauncey or make up for Bosh's running position.

In front of more than 2 spectators at the scene, the ball slowly spun and approached the basket.Many fans stood up unconsciously, some covered their heads with their hands, some covered their mouths, and some clasped their fingers tightly together.

Go in!The Rockets went ahead by one point at 96:95, leaving only 25 seconds for the Pistons.

Larry Brown immediately called a timeout.

The Rockets have also adjusted here, with Yao Ming and Reed off, and Turkoglu and Pulzbila, who are more physically fit, play.

Bodi Loga returned to the court and started the final madness. He showed the momentum of hitting five and directly killed the Rockets' penalty area.Instead, Turkoglu and Jefferson were left behind by him swaying left and right, but Dapu stepped forward in a timely manner and completely strangled him in the three-man double-team. At this time, there were only 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Bodi Loga is not a reckless man. While going deep into the enemy line, he has observed the position of his teammates, and finally found a gap to pass the ball.Hamilton got the ball from beyond the three-point line, he shot a jumper, and Bosh was already on it, with 9 seconds left.

Hamilton's shot was blocked by Bosh, and the ball bounced in the air to the direction of McDyess and Billups.The ball rolled out, and the time was only the last 5 seconds.

Prince picked up the floor ball, and he was about to shoot when Turkoglu jumped high and sealed it in front of him.Prince took the ball and moved two steps sideways, readjusted his posture and shot, with 2 seconds left.

The ball missed the basket, but it flew very high, and the basket was already huddled together.In the chaotic army, Campbell knocked Pulzbila over with an elbow, but the referee didn't see the foul at all.Campbell jumped up and touched the ball, made a make-up, and the game was over!The fans in the audience are boiling. Is this a layup lore?

Campbell raised his fists to the crowd in celebration, while Przybila babbled to the referee about his opponent's foul play.

After replaying the video many times, the referee finally ruled that the countdown had ended when the ball bounced out of the frame.Campbell's tip-up timed out, and the Rockets won by 1 point!
Many fans couldn't hide their disappointment and had already begun to curse.But these are useless efforts.

96 to 95, the Rockets narrowly beat their opponents by one point in the away game, expanding the big score to 3-0.Bodi Loga played very well throughout the game, scoring 35+6+8, but unfortunately he still failed to keep the victory.Billups was suppressed by Bodi Loga most of the time, and he played mediocrely and only scored 15+3+5, but he hit a key overtake three-pointer and became the team's hero.
