The yellow storm in the NBA

When Parker leapt into the sky to complete the dunk, the two teams showed completely different performances. The Spurs were dull and confused, while the Rockets were excited and excited.

Yes, this dunk is only two points in terms of score, but the psychological impact and momentum of the two teams are still very different. It is a small blow to the Spurs, but a huge improvement to the Rockets. It

Not only did it narrow the score gap, it also reversed the momentum to a certain extent.

In the last few seconds, the Spurs' offense failed and the first half ended with a 6-point advantage.

"Quan, your dunk is so great, you can even participate in the dunk contest." Alston was very excited and said to Quan Xiao on the way back to the locker room.

"It's also because you passed the ball so well, Rafe, that I didn't need to adjust. So most of the credit for this goal lies in your passing. I think any player with good athletic ability can do what I can."

."

Quan Xiao's words made Alston very happy. He enjoyed the feeling of being praised and even felt that most of the fatigue accumulated after half the game had been driven away.

Quan Xiao is also very happy to be able to leap over his opponent and complete a dunk in the game, especially since the opponent is a newly promoted FMVP, which makes him feel even more accomplished.

Yao Ming was even more happy. The fact that his little brother was so good meant that he had a better chance to make a breakthrough in the playoffs, and of course the national team. But he was even more happy when he made a leaping dunk at the Spurs' home court.

I insist on getting it and know how to play!

The coaching staff is also very happy. They were able to catch up the score from more than ten points behind to only six points behind, which turned the game around and gave them a great chance to reverse and win. Especially Quan Xiao also caused two fouls by Duncan, which made the game turn around.

He also had three fouls, just like Yao Ming, which also gave them greater confidence.

After the second half of the game started, the Rockets sent Yao Ming on the court, while the Spurs temporarily let Duncan rest off the court.

As the head coach of a small-market team, Popovich is undoubtedly successful. His formation allows the Spurs players to maximize their value. No matter what kind of players the management recruits for him,

He can try his best to use their functions to the extreme, this is his ability.

Of course, there is a basic guarantee for his employment skills, that is, Tim Duncan is the anchor of the sea. As long as Duncan is there, other

His players are all supplements. Even if it was Tony Parker who won the finals last season, no one would think that the Spurs were his team. Everyone would think that this was Duncan's team.

When Duncan is not on the court, Yao Ming seems to have unlocked his shackles and is wreaking havoc in the Spurs penalty area. As far as the Spurs lineup is concerned, except for Duncan, no one can put much pressure on Yao Ming. Even if the Spurs adopt a forward defense, trying to

It is difficult to prevent Yao Ming from catching the ball, but with Yao Ming's current height and weight.

So when the game lasted four minutes in the third quarter, the Rockets finally evened the score difference, and the Spurs had to call a timeout and then sent Duncan again. In these few minutes, Yao Ming was having a blast, completely suppressing the Spurs.

The inside line of the team is hammering.

After seeing Duncan come on the court, Quan Xiao began to attack the Spurs' penalty area again, with a very clear purpose, which was to draw a foul. With his current size and impact, ordinary outsiders could not stop him at all, and they would not dare to stop him easily.

Although Quan Xiao's body does not look as strong as LeBron James's, he is not much lighter than him and his strength is not inferior at all. Players who have played against Quan Xiao understand this best. So once Quan Xiao rushes up,

, it’s really hard to stop.

Because the inside players move relatively slowly, they often have to pay fouls to stop the rushing Quan Xiao. Even a superstar like Duncan can really let him guard Quan Xiao without having to pay a few fouls.

All he could say was, "I can't do it!"

Therefore, when Duncan, who had just come on the court, saw Quan Xiao rushing toward him with the ball again, he did not easily reach out to block the shot. He just tried his best to stretch his arms to prevent Quan Xiao from dunking, and watched Quan Xiao avoid him for a layup very attentively.

succeed.

Popovich was gnashing his teeth as he watched from the court, but it was not directed at Duncan, but at the player who was marking Quan Xiao. After all, Duncan was helping to defend and was the team's anchor, so he couldn't let anyone mess with him, so he

I can also understand Duncan’s choice just now.

He knew that Duncan was a bit clumsy because of those two fouls. He would not block shots easily unless he was very confident. This approach was actually correct. It was obvious that the Rockets rookie just wanted to cause fouls and mess with Tim.

Go down.

"What a hateful rookie. It's really difficult to deal with. If Bruce were still there, he wouldn't be so passive. Although he certainly can't stop it, at least he won't be rushed in by the rookie so easily." Popovich began to think about it at this time.

His gold medal comes with red flowers.

However, the Spurs' overall style of play is not something that the Rockets can easily defend against. Under Popovich's training for more than ten years, this team has strict discipline, high tactical execution, and will not make mistakes easily.

Therefore, if you play against this Spurs team step by step, unless you can make fewer mistakes than him, otherwise you will unknowingly get into their rhythm and lose the game inexplicably because of their experience.

Rich.

On the contrary, if they encounter such unreasonable teams and players, the Spurs will easily lose the game, because chaotic battles are not their style, and they are more suitable for a strict game. Therefore, when they encounter a team with many singles experts like the Mavericks,

, their victory or defeat is basically 50-50.

In short, their playing style is one of stability. They rarely miss and rarely lose by a big score. They rarely come back from behind by a big score, but they are reversed more often.

The third quarter was back and forth, and no one was able to open up the score. Instead, they kept taking the lead. Since the Rockets tied the game, the largest point difference between the two teams was only three points and one goal.

At the end of the third quarter, the home team Spurs only led by 1 point. The fans at the scene were not so enthusiastic, and the DJ was not as passionate. There was no atmosphere like when they were leading by more than ten points.

After the game started in the fourth quarter, Quan Xiao suddenly found his three-point touch. He hit four three-pointers in succession, helping the Rockets build an 8-point lead in just two minutes, forcing the Spurs to beat

Call a timeout.

But this timeout did not interrupt Quan Xiao's touch, and other players seemed to be infected with the good touch. Quan Xiao scored two more three-pointers, Battier, Alston also added one, and even Smith was there.

The icing on the cake, the Rockets made five more three-pointers within 5 minutes. At this time, they were already 15 points ahead of the Spurs.

Seeing this, Adelman waved his hand, and Yao Ming, Alston and Battier left the court. Scola, Francis and Hayes went up to play.

In the last two minutes, Quan Xiao was also replaced by Wells. At this time, the Spurs also replaced all their starters. Obviously they knew that they had no chance in this game, and they did not have Miller and McGrady in the team.

At 98:91, the Rockets finally defeated the Spurs by 7 points and successfully extended their winning streak. At this time, they had won ten consecutive games.
