The Godfather of Basketball

Not only the fans, but Barkley and Smith in the commentary also felt it.

Although I can't say why, the Rockets are obviously the more dynamic one on the court.

In the Spurs' offense, Duncan hit Battier in a dislocation, turned around and missed the hook, and grabbed an offensive rebound to make up.

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming sent a second pass, McGrady got a mobile phone opportunity at a 45-degree angle on the right three-point line, and hit a three-pointer.

In the Spurs' offense, Duncan misplaced Millsap's rebound and missed it, and the rebound was accepted by Yao Ming.

The Rockets attacked, and Blake missed a three-pointer, but Millsap got an offensive rebound in the scramble, a layup caused Oberto's thug foul, and made two free throws after going to the free throw line.

After more than three minutes into the game, the Rockets turned away and led the Spurs 8-4.

The scene shot was given to the Spurs coach Popovich.

The old man fidgeted restlessly, reaching out his hand to his forehead from time to time.

The camera was given to the Rockets at halftime.

Tang Tian was calm and relaxed.

The mentality of the two coaches reflects the situation on the court. After 6 games, the Rockets seem to have an advantage all of a sudden.

The game is still going on on the court. Although it is not obvious, the Rockets are indeed opening up the point difference a little bit.

By the time halftime was almost over, this lead was already visible to the naked eye. 58 to 46, the Rockets led by as much as 12 points.

"What happened? What happened to the Spurs?" Barkley looked puzzled from the sidelines.

In fact, not only Barkley, but also the home fans are Erzhang Monk who can't figure it out, and has no idea what happened.

At this time, Smith also looked at the Spurs' half court suspiciously.

Just then, he discovered something different.

Duncan was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel, while Ginobili was panting heavily, and after a while he coughed violently.

Slowly, a sudden realization appeared in his eyes.

"The Spurs have been dragged down." Smith withdrew his gaze, then said with a wry smile.

"What?" Barkley didn't know why Smith suddenly said such a sentence.

"The Spurs are strong, but you and I, all of us forget that Horry is 38 years old, Bowen is 36 years old, Finley is 34 years old, Oberto is 33 years old, Tim is 31 years old, and even Manu, There is also a 30-year-old thing." Smith snapped his fingers one by one, counting the ages of the main players of the Spurs.

Buckley paused for a moment, then thought about it. .

After all, the game is not just played by the stars. The age of the role players of the Spurs is indeed a bit old.

"If you switch to another team, even the Rockets before adjusting their tactics, the Spurs have an absolute chance of winning, but everything has changed since the Rockets adjusted their tactics in the third game. The physical strength of the Rockets is not small, but it will only be greater for the aging Spurs, not to mention that this series is now in Game 7, look at Tim, look at Manu, this is the hardest in their careers Played a game."

Following Smith's voice, Barkley also turned to look at the Spurs' bench.

At this moment, Duncan and Ginobili, even Finley and Bowen, were sitting and listening to Popovich's tactics.

One detail has proved what Smith said is true.

"But the Rockets are becoming more and more proficient at the new tactics, one ebbs and another..." Smith didn't go on to say anything, but it goes without saying.

"Perhaps, these old guys still have a way." Barkley said uncertainly.

"Maybe." Smith turned his head and looked at the Rockets half.

They are two completely opposite states from the Spurs, with a dual-core team at its peak and a bunch of young role players.

At this time, on the spiritual level, if the Spurs are in the west, then the Rockets are in the east.

Back from the timeout, Duncan continued to grab offensive rebounds and made the final attack.

At halftime, the Spurs trailed the Rockets by 10 points 48-58.

Interaction in the midfield, the interest of the fans became low because the home team fell behind, and their eyes looked at the player tunnel from time to time, expecting the home team to stage a Jedi counterattack in the second half.

After returning from a 20-minute break, the Spurs showed some momentum, closing the point difference to 4 points.

But soon, the Rockets pulled the momentum back a little bit.

As Smith said, the Spurs hit Game 7 and were exhausted and dragged down by the Rockets' infinite cuts.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead became more and more obvious, reaching as many as 15 points.

The balance of victory tilted towards the Spurs from the beginning, gradually balanced, and now, it has begun to tilt towards the Rockets.

Popovich didn't give up, or he had nothing else to do.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, all the main players of the Spurs appeared on the field.

This is the style of play that burns all boats.

Naturally, Tang Tian wouldn't give it a chance, and put all the main players on it.

In the desperate situation, "GDP" played continuously, attracting cheers from the fans.

But the Rockets did not show any weakness, and Yao Mai would never give up the victory.

During this process, there was a small episode. Veteran Bowen tried to step up for McGrady, but McGrady hid him. As a result, he couldn’t steal the chicken, and his nose spurted blood when he was hit. .

From the beginning of the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two teams remained unchanged until halfway through the fourth quarter.

It is this point that has not changed, and the outcome has been divided.

With two minutes left before the finale, Duncan fell off the baseline in a scramble and was supported by teammate Oberto to stand up, staggering a little.

Seeing this, Popovich finally gave up and began to replace the main players.

But at this time in Houston, China on the other side of the ocean is already boiling.

Rockets, to win!

Seeing that the Spurs had started their main force, Tang Tian didn't kill them all, and also withdrew the main force.

The two sides played the last two minutes.

At the moment of the final whistle, the fans on the scene seemed to look away and applauded the home team.

Regardless of the outcome, this Spurs team is strong enough to be worthy of the fans.

Duncan was very indifferent, smiling and waving to the fans.

At this time, Parker was a little out of control, holding his head in the towel and crying there, Ginobili walked over to comfort him at this time.

On the other end of the court, the Rockets have fallen into a wild celebration.

In the midst of the cheers, no one noticed that Maddie, like Parker, was crying with his head in his hands while clutching a towel.

Tang Tian noticed it and went over to pat McGrady on the head.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." McGrady kept nodding, his voice choking.

A scoring champion who has never broken the first round, a team core that was reversed 1-3, and now reaching the finals, maybe only McGrady himself can understand what it feels like.

Yao Ming was crazy, screaming crazily there.

He also held back for too long.

Two years ago, they led 2-0, and then they were overturned. One year ago, they suffered from injuries and missed the playoffs.

But now, what the hell is that they fell behind 0 to 2 and reversed others!

And now, it's the finals.

At this time, in China far away across the ocean, I don't know how many Chinese fans are crying.

Accompanying Yao Ming for four years, experienced reversals, injuries, and now finally broke into the finals!

The tears of excitement were like floods that opened the gates, and they couldn't be stopped.
