The Godfather of Basketball

While Barkley and Smith were talking, the starting players of both sides have already appeared on the stage one after another.

It was Duncan and Yao Ming who jumped the ball.

Duncan gave the Spurs the chance to take the lead.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, which was still their familiar tactic. Parker broke through and tore the Rockets' defense line in succession, which quickly caused a dislocation.

Duncan sat and hit Millsap.

Millsap has improved a lot this season, but he still has an all-round gap with Duncan.

Oberto has already established his position under the basket, and Yao Ming dare not go over to help defend.

After Duncan hit back a few times, he turned around and made a signature hook.

The basketball went into the frame at an angle, and the Spurs took the lead.

In the Rockets' offense, Blake held the ball to the frontcourt. Unlike the previous game, he did not pass the ball directly to Yao Ming, but held the ball and waited at the top of the arc.

At this moment, the Rockets began to show the results of their two-day training. Tracy McGrady and Battier began to cut inside. Yao Ming and Millsap made off-the-ball pick-and-rolls for them.

The Spurs' defense was driven by the Rockets' air cuts.

However, the Spurs deserve to be a top defensive team, and the lineup movement and defense speed on the field are not slow at all. The Rockets' air cuts and pick-and-rolls did not create good opportunities.

"It can be seen that the Rockets are changing, but it doesn't seem to be effective." Barkley in the commentary seat said after watching for a while.

But he paused as soon as he said a word, because the Rockets didn't stop after a round of air cuts. Millsap and McGrady, who switched to the outside line, started the second round of air cuts non-stop.

Because some dislocations had been formed in the first round of air cuts, after the start of the second round, the Spurs' Oberto and Finley did not keep up with their defensive steps, and Millsap got a good chance to catch the ball and layup.

"Middle! Middle!" Popovich shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

Blake made the shot, and he flicked the ball quickly.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment, Parker burst out from the oblique side and suddenly cut off Blake's pass.

The French sports car abruptly increased its horsepower to the fullest and forcibly intercepted the ball.

The fans on the sidelines were in an uproar, just a little bit.

Tang Tian unconsciously clenched his fists when he saw it.

It was really close. If Millsap had cut a little earlier, Parker would be too late.

And Parker's speed is a big problem.

After Parker's steal, the Spurs played a fast break and a layup caused Blake's foul and won two free throw opportunities.

The players on the Rockets shook their heads subconsciously. After two days, they still couldn't practice much.

Tang Tian noticed the changes in the players' emotions, stood up from the bench, walked to the sidelines and clapped his hands and shouted: "Be patient, be patient!"

After seeing the eyes of the players were attracted, he then stretched out his hand and made a "2" gesture.

Seeing Tang Tian, ​​the team members naturally remembered what he had said about working hard before, and nodded one after another.

Parker made two free throws and the Spurs led 3-0.

"Come on! Team Rocket!"

At this moment, the fans shouted at the scene.

Blake took the ball to the frontcourt. This time he didn't stand on the top of the circle, but directly handed the ball to McGrady.

McGrady is holding the ball in the circle, facing the defensive Bowen in a three-threat posture.

At the same time, Blake and Battier once again launched an air cut pick and roll from the left and right.

The Spurs' defense was once again involved, but with their strong defensive ability, they once again held the formation.

At this moment, the Rockets' second-round pick-and-roll air cut began again, and Millsap and Battier continued to cut into the basket from both sides.

As for Millsap, Finley is old after all, and he can't keep up.

Unlike the previous round, this time Parker was taken to the right corner by Battier.

"boom!"

McGrady made a ground pass and successfully passed the ball to Millsap.

After Millsap received the ball, he made a layup with a low hand.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the backboard into the frame.

The Rockets scored!

"yeah!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Tang Tian also clenched his fists vigorously.

Sure enough.

After the successful scoring, the expressions on the faces of the Rockets players also changed a lot.

The look of doubt was completely gone, replaced by infinite self-confidence.

This tactic really works!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but after successfully beating for the first time, it is like a flood that has opened the gate and cannot be stopped.

In the offense of the Spurs, Parker's continuous breakthrough created a dislocation opportunity for himself. He accelerated his breakthrough and threw away Yao Ming for a layup.

But the Rockets players did not show frustration, they are still full of confidence.

The same No. 2 tactic, this time Bowen chose to supplement the defense.

After McGrady saw it, he scored a three-pointer directly.

The Rockets tied the score 5-5!

Popovich reached out and called a timeout.

The fans at the scene fell into the carnival. Many fans got up and swayed from side to side. Regardless of whether the Rockets won or not, the momentum shown on the field was completely different from the previous two games.

"Charles, what did you say before?" Smith said with a smile on his face at this time.

"Haha!" Barkley couldn't help laughing out loud. He looked at Tang Tian, ​​who was on the bench of the Rockets.

He said before that if the Rockets want to win against the Spurs, they need to train a new style of play within two days. Unexpectedly, the Rockets really did it. This is simply a miracle.

His old partner Smith really has a way of seeing people, this Tang Tian is really amazing.

Popovich adjusted very quickly. After returning from the timeout, he limited the Rockets' next air cut by half-shrinking the defense.

But he couldn't do perfect things in his previous life, and it's even more impossible to do it now.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench and made a "5" gesture, and the Rockets replaced Yao Ming with the ball at the top of the circle.

After Duncan was pulled out, the Spurs' interior defense seemed a lot empty.

The Rockets got another chance with consecutive air cuts, and Yao Ming directly threw the ball into the air.

At this time, McGrady jumped forward, grabbed the basketball flying in the air, and threw it directly at the basket with one hand.

Oberto rushed over from the oblique side to cover the defense, but his speed was obviously a beat slower.

"boom!"

McGrady slammed down the ball with one hand and two hands, and at the same time dunked, the whole person directly stepped over Oberto's head!

The entire Toyota Center, explode!

This buckle is comparable to McGrady dunking Bradley in 2005!

Fans throughout the Toyota Center went into a frenzy.

The game entered a timeout without a timeout.
