NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Tang Yu said to the players during the intermission: "We have established a considerable lead, but don't relax! We need to play faster in the second lineup and make the opponent run for their lives!"

Then Tang Yu accepted the reporter's intermission interview.

"Coach Tang, was James Harden's explosive performance in the first quarter within your expectations? Did you teach him this foul-making skill?" The reporter also asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"James is a very comprehensive player. He can meet all the requirements of a coach for a guard! He just makes the best offensive choice based on the opponent's actions on the court. This is a talent!"

Tang Yu's answer is still so ambiguous, and it seems that he didn't say it.

The game on the court is going on. Now it's Curry's time to lead the team. Although Curry, who only scored 6 points in the first quarter, didn't score much, he also made two shots from outside the three-point line, with a hit rate of 100%!

A-Lian pulled out to the three-point line to assist, Curry started the long-distance running mode and came out from the baseline to attract the Spurs' double defense. A-Lian passed the ball to Curry and immediately went down, and the latter hit the ground without stopping and passed it to A-Lian.

A-Lian was very comfortable with the ball, and took off with both hands to glide and dunk over Bonner who came to defend.

'Beep'

The whistle sounded and the ball was dunked at the same time, 2+1!

A-Lian's dunk once again made the fans of the Dynasty Center cheer, this is crazy!

After the free throw was hit steadily, the difference between the two sides reached 20 points, and the Rockets were heading for a massacre.

The Spurs relied on the French sports car Parker to support them, and Beverly's aggressive defense could not stop this Finals FMVP.

Popovich replaced Ginobili at 8 minutes and 13 seconds in the second quarter, and Tang Yu sent Harden to the court again.

"Continue to look for opportunities to knock the Argentine off the court again." Tang Yu instructed Harden before he went on the court.

"I understand, boss, don't worry!"

After Harden came on the court, Ginobili did not choose to play against Harden, but chose to defend Beverley, who had worse offensive ability.

However, this did not stump Harden. After a Spurs attack failed, the Rockets launched an offense-defense transition.

Harden rushed to the Spurs' half court with sparks and lightning. Ginobili was the fastest player in the Spurs' defense and could only face the aggressive Harden.

Handle the ball!

Eurostep!

Ginobili is very familiar with the Eurostep, but the difference between Harden and him is that he puts the basketball very low after handing the ball, giving the opponent no chance to steal the ball.

Ginobili reached out in a hurry, and Harden immediately lifted the ball and made a layup.

'Beep'

The whistle sounded, and Harden came up and put the ball into the Spurs basket in a coherent move.

And one!

Ginobili made three fouls, Popovich looked up and sighed, speechless!

At 5 minutes and 43 seconds, Ginobili was beaten off the court by Harden again.

Popovich replaced the water dispenser DeJuan Blair, and Tang Yu was a little puzzled about what this trick was.

But soon there was an answer. The old man actually had his eyes on Jordan and used the hacking tactic. He was treating Jordan as O'Neal.

Tang Yu was speechless. They were all foxes of a thousand years. You are playing Liao Zhai with me!

Originally, Tang Yu saw that the team was in the lead, and for the purpose of protecting Yao Ming, he forced Yao Ming to DNP throughout the second quarter.

Tang Yu did not compromise, and said with a strong finger: "Serge, you will replace DeAndre in a while!"

Ibaka got up and walked to the technical table.

However, Jordan did not have the opportunity to leave the court when he executed the free throw. Jordan was not neat and missed two free throws.

Then the Spurs hacked Jordan for three consecutive rounds. Jordan made 1 of 6 free throws. It was really a ghost.

After the official timeout of 3 minutes, Tang Yu replaced Jordan, and the Spurs also recovered the score.

The score between the two teams came to 55-40, and the Rockets still had a 15-point advantage.

After the ‘Uncle Emperor’ left the court, he was also a little depressed. Why was he targeted?

Iverson also joked with him, “Boy, it seems that you have the potential to be a shark!”

“Fuck, I’m going to practice free throws this summer!” Jordan glared as if he had made up his mind.

The second quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Rockets relied on the overall stable performance of the team to keep the score at 21 points.

65-44, after Jordan left the court, the Rockets beat the Spurs with a 10-4 climax in the last three minutes.

“Look! The Houston Rockets have shown the strength of the first in the league. Now I think some people who think that the Spurs can complete the black 8 miracle should shut their mouths.” Bobby Jackson said happily.

“That’s right, Bobby. This team has both offense and defense, and the team’s chemistry is unparalleled! You don’t know which player you need to defend on the court, and they can easilyFind an open shot opportunity!"

"Yes, Brent. After watching the first half, I found that this team is still so calm in the face of increased defensive intensity in the playoffs. Argentine Ginobili played less than 6 minutes in the first two quarters, and he was completely destroyed by James!"

"Haha! This reminds me of a saying, the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves hit the beach!"

The two smiled at each other at last.

After returning to the locker room, the Rockets players talked and laughed.

Tang Yu immediately frowned, it was time to enforce the discipline of the playoffs.

"Everyone listen, now we have entered the playoffs, before winning the final championship, I don't want anyone to relax a little. That's right, this is my territory and I am the boss, I don't want to see even a moment of relaxation on your face! This is our war!"

Faced with Tang Yu's roar, all the players were silent, they didn't dare to show even a trace of happiness.

"Answer me, do you understand! ? "Tang Yu roared again!

"Understood, coach!"

"Okay, Brad, I'll leave it to you!" Tang Yu told assistant coach Stevens about the second half assignment.

In the third quarter that followed, the main players of the Houston Rockets pulled the score difference to more than 30 points.

Yao and Curry showed their strength in the third quarter, and the two scored 27 points in total to completely ruin the game.

The Rockets scored 102 points after three quarters, while the Spurs only scored 64 points. The Rockets led by 38 points into the fourth quarter.

Popovich also surrendered in the fourth quarter, and all the substitutes on both sides came on the court, but the Rockets' substitutes obviously played more methodically and tactically.

In the end, the Houston Rockets successfully pulled out the thorns at home with a score of 130-88 in the first game of the playoffs.

The 42-point difference also created the Rockets' playoff net score in history. The biggest point difference in winning against the opponent.

The Rockets' backcourt twins of Stephen Curry and James Harden shined in their first playoff game.

Curry played 27 minutes, 8 of 17 shots, 26 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Harden played 31 minutes, 9 of 19 shots, 35 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals, a 30+ triple-double. Harden made 14 of 16 free throws.

Yao Ming continued to play health-preserving basketball, playing 17 minutes and scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, 9 of which came in the third quarter.

All five Rockets starters scored in double digits, and Yi Jianlian and Carter on the bench also performed well.

Tang Yu's team announced their determination to hit the championship with a massacre victory!
