(One hundred and sixty-five) a wave of revenge
"What do you think about the second half?" Tang Shuai is as good as ever, he respects the ideas of the players, and is also good at pushing the players to use their brains to think. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm not happy with my performance!" Jefferson was the first to say: "If I had made that shot, we would have equalised." ”
"You can't care too much about the gains and losses of a goal, it's because I didn't play the role of a leader, and now I'm to blame for falling behind." Yao Ming, who got 6+5, also blamed himself: "Everyone wants to win this game very much, but I wasted a lot of opportunities." ”
"Defensively, I was mainly responsible, because I was so poor defensively that Ginobili scored so many points." Reid also commented that he actually played well in the first half.
"Me too!" "Me too!" Parker, Bosh and others also rushed to take responsibility.
"Stop, stop!" Yuan Fei couldn't stand it anymore: "This is a discussion at halftime, not a criticism meeting." I know how everybody feels, everybody's not convinced by the Spurs, and they're hell-bent on winning this game for Tracy. But it's not enough to have feelings, take these motivations on the field, show hard work, and grab every ball seriously, we will definitely win. ”
"Jason was right." The bus also spoke: "We have always been powerful in the second half, what is it to be 2 points behind? ”
Everyone nodded their heads. The bus's status in the team seems to have improved a lot with that fight, and now there is a vague feeling of a locker room leader. Men admire strong people, whether they are playing ball or beating people.
"Munch got to the point." Tang Shuai smiled: "There are three fewer people on each side, which is more beneficial for us, because the Spurs' bench is not comparable to us at all." The loss of 2 starters is not only the loss of starting strength, but the 2 people on the bench are transferred to the starter, and the strength of the substitutes will be significantly reduced. It's hard for the Spurs to rotate right now, and it's entirely predictable that they'll be forced to play more of a two-tower game because Nesterovic is the best player on their bench. Popovich is also a good woman now, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. So strengthen the scramble and physical confrontation, consume the opponent's strength, maybe the victory or defeat is the line. ”
***
Popovich did have a headache, with his three most used substitutes, Yudri and Barry in the starting line-up, and Hawley being suspended again. Now he has been forced to use the 32-year-old veteran Glenn. Robinson. "Big Dog" Robinson was a famous player in the early years and a two-time All-Star. Unfortunately, he was not self-disciplined enough, and long-term alcoholism and irregular training made him decrepit, and he was no longer as brave as he was when he was just over 30 years old.
Maddie, who was recuperating at home, was sitting in front of the TV watching his teammates play, and he realized something. If I continue to stay up late and drink heavily, and lack training like I did half a year ago, I may soon become like Robinson.
The first ball of the second half was in Duncan's hands, and he dribbled the ball steadily with his back to the basket, and suddenly turned and held the ball high to throw. There seemed to be a flash of fire in Bosh's eyes, and he completely saw through his opponent's movements, leaping beautifully into the air. Duncan didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly, and the hand that shot hesitated a little and was slapped by Bosh.
"Great focus, Chris!" The bench players shouted and cheered him on.
Parker quickly grabbed the ball and pushed forward quickly, killed a return pass and handed over to Bosh to hit a three-point shot to overtake the score.
The next one to break out was Turkoglu. Lao Te, who is relatively tall and slow, is in the No. 3 position, but at this time, Robinson, who is opposite him, is overweight, reaching more than 102kg. Lao Te, who already had an advantage in height and arm span, was actually even faster, he directly blocked Robinson's shot, and attacked the opponent again. Robinson couldn't bear Lao Te's small movements and retreated repeatedly, and was almost pushed and stumbled. Duncan immediately pounced on the defense, and Lao Teh saw that he was attracted enough, and the long eye in the back of his head gave the ball to the unmarked Bosh, who won again.
"Good pass!" "Good shot!" The Houston crowd cheered on Bosh and Turkoglou.
Ginobili is no longer playing lightly, and Reed, although he doesn't defend well, has a good attitude. Whether he could grab the ball or not, he always tried to reach out and harass.
"It's just what I want if you fight so hard!" Manu was good at feints, and a shake of the ball caused Reid to lose his center of gravity, but he was about to break through for a layup when he was pulled down. The referee's whistle blows, Ridera fouls, and Spurs serve in frontcourt.
"Aren't your spurs dirty? I spelled it too! Reed's eyes were also on fire, and he said secretly in his heart.
Yudri missed the shot, and Yao Ming protected the rebound and passed it to Parker in the frontcourt, who made an easy layup.
"Hurry back to defense!" Immediately after he scored, he shouted: "Don't give Spurs any chance!" ”
"The moment I made my shot, he was already rushing forward, and he caught us off guard!" Yudri said to himself. He clearly saw Parker's movements from beginning to end of the ball, that is, he started early and threw off half of his body to complete the fast attack.
If there is a gap between the two sides, the difference is this concentration. The Rockets seemed to be completely focused on winning in the second half, while the Spurs players were getting tired. Duncan was tired, but Popovich didn't dare to replace him, and Manu was not easy in front of Reed's desperate Saburo-style defense, so he had to pass the ball out.
Robinson took the ball and shot, and now the Spurs only have his physical strength, but unfortunately he missed the three-point shot. The Rockets attacked again, Yao Ming passed inside and Reed hit a three-point shot, and he hit his fourth three-pointer! At 47:54, the Rockets played a wave of 9:0 climax in the second half.
Seeing that the deadlock scoring drought could not be broken, Yudri began to get anxious. He wanted to pull Parker but was stuck to him, barely hit the three-second zone and forced a throw under interference, and was fanned out by Yao Ming's big hat. Parker dribbled steadily past half-court but suddenly kicked in, exploded two steps past Udri, dribbled to the basket and stopped, and this clever stroke shook Nesterovic away. Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to make a move in the air, Parker turned around and threw back under the basket, and the ball went in.
"Clever footsteps under the basket!" Barkley praised: "The confrontation between two substitute defenders from Europe, the French won against the Slovenes! ”
"Tony. Parker is probably the best backup guard in the league, with clever footwork under the basket and a beautiful throw. He has shot nearly 70 percent from the field this season, the most efficient finishing rate of any guard in the league. Smith said: "If the team lacks a point guard, make an offer to the Rockets!" Such a good player shouldn't always be on the bench! ”
The Rockets' scoring surge lasted until 23-0, and it took seven minutes of the quarter for the Spurs to finally break the deadlock with Duncan scoring. At this time, the difference was already 19 points.
But the Rockets were not careless at all, they continued to eat away at their opponents, constantly expanding their leads, and chasing down their opponents like beating water dogs. After Duncan and Ginobili went off the break, the Spurs completely collapsed. With Wang Zhizhi's three-point whistle, the Rockets finally beat the opponent by 31 points. Jefferson scored a game-high 23 points, while Reed, Yao Ming, Bosh and Parker also scored in double figures. The Spurs only Ginobili and Duncan each scored 20 points, and the others failed to score in double figures.
To the boos of the crowd, the Spurs left the Toyota Center in disgrace. Although they made it to the Western Conference finals this playoffs, they learned a big lesson here in Houston.
Reporters rushed up to interview the players, but today the players were surprisingly consistent.
Jefferson: "This ball is revenge on the Spurs. ”
Reed: "Finally got revenge, it feels good." ”
Parker: "For Tracy's sake, we're fighting it!" ”
Billups: "Even though I didn't play, it felt like I fought with everyone to the end. Sweet revenge was felt. ”
Tekoglu: "4:0 is what we deserve and what Bowen deserves. ”
Yao Ming: "Today's victory is only dedicated to Tracy. Mcgrady. (To be continued.) )
