Kevin McHale tragically discovered that the chicken soup he spilled before the game was completely useless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets have fallen behind the Spurs by 12 points, and the gap in strength makes the Rockets have no power to fight back at all.

If this continues, the Rockets will be slaughtered by the Spurs.

"What are you guys doing! It's the playoffs! The playoffs of professional basketball! I look at you guys, it looks like you're playing the Drew League (Los Angeles Amateur League)! Kevin McHale said foaming, and at this time, he was still sprinkling chicken soup.

After saying a lot, Kevin McHale mentioned the next specific adjustment: "Okay, when Lin comes on the court, we will play outside blocking and dismantling tactics." ”

After a few hurried words, Jeremy Lin took off his jersey and quickly went to the technical desk to apply for a replacement.

There are not many changes that the Rockets can make now, letting Jeremy Lin dominate the ball, and playing outside blocking and dismantling tactics can be regarded as a change, although there is no magic of Lin's madness at the beginning, but at least he is still a qualified starter, and if he is given special tactical treatment, he can also score with a group of substitutes.

And for the Rockets at this time, the most important thing is to score.

After replacing Jeremy Lin, the Rockets started a pick-and-roll offense, and the scoring efficiency has indeed improved a lot, at least much higher than Harden's individual singles efficiency.

However, at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs still led by 15 points, and at 22:37, the Spurs scored 37 points in the first quarter.

Leading by 15 points in the first quarter, the Spurs continued to extend their lead by switching to full benches in the second quarter.

James Harden is a strong individual single, but the Spurs are playing vigorously on the team's offense, and An Xi has also scored again and again, his state in this game is not bad, and his dual consciousness attributes are more than 80, so the outside projection is very accurate.

In the second quarter, the Spurs scored another 33 points, and at halftime, they led the Rockets by 27 points at 70:43.

There was no suspense in the game at halftime, and a 27-point lead was enough for the Spurs to win the game comfortably.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Rockets by 25 points 117-92 at home, and showed their strength in the first game of the first round of the playoffs.

The Rockets are not the opponent of the Spurs at all, and the Rockets who entered the playoffs after three years have long been inexperienced, and the Rockets, who have many young players, are inexperienced and fell early into the hands of the veteran Spurs, and Kevin McHale is not the kind of old and spicy coach, he is full of blood, but useless.

After the game, Kevin McHale lashed out at his players and seemed to be using this way to get his players used to the intensity of the playoffs as quickly as possible.

On the Spurs' side, it was a breeze, Popovich said a few words in the post-game press conference, and reporters were not interested in asking more questions, so the only highlight of the entire Spurs Rockets battle may be Kevin McHale's dissatisfaction with his players.

Sure enough, the next day's media coverage was the same, and Kevin McHale's bitter criticism of the Rockets players became the only report of the Spurs and Rockets battle.

The first round of the playoffs was a tense affair, and just one day later, the second game at ATT Arena began.

In this game, the Spurs unexpectedly adjusted the starting lineup, Anxi returned to the starting lineup after a few days, and he will partner with Kawhi Leonard to block James Harden's offense.

Popovich's idea couldn't be simpler, since Harden is the only threatening point for the Rockets, then let Anxi, who defended Harden in the first game, enter the starter, Harden played, Anxi also played, Harden rested, Anxi also rested, as for Leonard, just concentrate on helping defense.

The referee blew the whistle, and the two sides began to jump the ball, An Xi watched Split and Asik jump high, and suddenly felt a little strange, after all, he hadn't started for half a year, and he started again, which was indeed a little uncomfortable for this kind of scene.

Splitt won the jump ball, and while Asik was the league's newest starting center, he was a floor-to-ceiling center with average bounce.

Parker advanced to the front court with the ball, and Split quickly raised the high post to provide Parker with a pick-and-roll screen.

Jeremy Lin was blocked solidly by Split, and Jeremy Lin was often criticized for poor defense at this time, and now that he was blocked by Split, it seemed helpless.

Tony Parker rushed directly into the interior with the ball, and Asik retreated repeatedly, but not fast, and when Parker rushed to the basket, he just stood under the basket and stared at the ball in Parker's hand.

"Tony Parker breaks, inside! There is Asik's defense! ”

Seeing Asik sitting on the inside, Parker had no intention of stopping, and directly sped up his speed, and when he was about to get to the basket, he resolutely chose to go to the basket!

Asik pounced, spread his long arms, and ran his big hand towards the basketball hoop.

And Jeremy Lin, who was in a hurry, also rushed to the inside line and directly surrounded Parker.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the sidelines!

Tony Parker ...... Layups...... Oh no...... It's a pass...... Empty passes! ”

Anxi! I don't know where it came from, jumped up, and took Tony Parker's toss in the air, boom!

A loud bang rang out, and then ATT Arena went crazy! The cheers at the opening moment drowned out the entire San Antonio.

"Empty Catch! Tony Parker! Ann-Brook-! The DJ shouted at the top of his voice.

The first goal of the opening game was an open catch, and the Spurs directly beat their momentum. The momentum of the Spurs scored one after another, and soon the Rockets were scattered.

"James Harden, he singled Anxi with the ball, Anxi was very effective in defending Harden in this game, and the game has been played so far, Harden has shot 2 of 6 and performed poorly." In the fifth minute of the first quarter, the Spurs led by 10 points at 16-6, and like the plot of the previous game, the Spurs opened with a big lead.

Harden chose to break through directly, the Rockets offense was unfavorable, and Harden was directly responsible, so he is also a little anxious and eager to score now.

"Harden, he broke through, Anxi's defense was very entangled, Harden couldn't get rid of Anxi!"

"Harden is still breaking through, but the effect is not very good, Anxi's defense is too tenacious!"

"Harden! Layup ......"

"It's a pity that I didn't go in, the layup was off, I was interfered with by Anxi, and the rebound was won by Tim Duncan."

In this game, Turner Sports sent a commentary combination of Mike Terick and Magic Johnson, but the course of the game disappointed them, because the Rockets were not a one-in-one opponent of the Spurs at all, and like the previous game, the game was out of suspense from the beginning.
