superstar to score 40, then struck him in the groin in Game 3 -- isn't changing his approach leading into their rematch Wednesday in Houston.."He's shooting the ball well. He's been playing well. So I'm just there to make him tired, make him get into that fourth quarter early.
Brooks, 27, is averaging 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his first season with the Rockets , who are riding a three-game winning streak. James, 38, is averaging 25.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists for the 3-4 Lakers. "Full-courting him when he wants to bring it up," Brooks said of his plan for guarding James."Any time he's posting up on the block, I'm bumping him. Bumping him on the jog back. If he's guarding me I want to attack him. Just getting him into multiple actions.""That's what the matchup says in the beginning of the game: L.A. Lakers versus Houston Rockets," he said."It's about us getting the win and keeping the win streak going.
