With a number of players absent, the starting line-ups of both sides have changed dramatically from the previous game. The Spurs www.biquge.info the Spurs promoted veteran Brent Barry and junior Benno Udri to the starting lineup, while the Rockets fielded Michael Reed and Tony Parker.

The Rockets took the lead and gave the first offense to Jefferson. He bullied Barry for his old age and weakness, mediocre athleticism, and a strong hit but unfortunately missed a jump shot.

"Did Richard think Barry was old? It's the wrong person. Don't look at the old Barry is 34 years old, he is a good 3-and-D player, and he is very capable defensively. Yuanfei commented.

'I don't know much about this player, he looks like he's not very physical.' Suits and leather shoes on the bus. Now he has no pressure to play at all, but looks relaxed.

"Haha, this can't just be about appearances." "Barry was quite physically strong when he was younger, and in 1996 he won the slam dunk contest with a gliding dunk from the free throw line. It was given the nickname "white people can fly". ”

"What a human being who can't be seen!" Daba praised.

During the conversation, Yudri assisted Ginobili for a three-pointer. Reed's defense was much worse than Maddie's, and the ball was not pressed tightly and Manu was thrown away to find an opportunity.

The Rockets handed the ball to Yao Ming, and the Spurs' interior defense strategy was to switch defenses, allowing the less capable Muhammad to prevent Bosh from pulling out the jumper, and letting Duncan, who had better ability to protect the frame, stay under the basket to guard. Yao Ming held the ball high, turned around and made a jump shot that was blocked by Duncan. Fortunately, Bosh reacted quickly and rushed to the front court to rebound and make a basket.

Udri had just been promoted to the starting line-up and was probably a little nervous, with a slight negligent pass being a little too big and being tackled by Bosh. Parker had to go straight to the Spurs basket, and after being blocked, he went to the perimeter, and Reed hit a three-point shot to make it 3-5.

Then both sides strengthened their defense, and the first quarter ended with a score of 19:18 with a one-point lead.

"It's a big gap from the previous series against the Suns." Billups couldn't help but sigh: "At that time, the two teams wanted to play this score in three minutes." ”

"It's also because of the loss of the two of you backcourt cores, our rhythm advancement has certain difficulties, and we can only play steadily with the inside line as the core." Yuan Fei said helplessly: "The Spurs are almost the same idea, their pace is slower than the previous games, and this game may score less." ”

During the conversation, Yao Ming singled to attract the opponent and then distributed to the outside empty Jefferson, who hit a three-point shot!

"Beautiful!" The Rockets cheered one after another, and they overtook again.

Duncan's rock-solid mid-range shot, don't look at the Spurs falling behind 0-3, but he personally has crushed Bosh in three games without suffering. But this time Bosh reacted quickly enough and stretched out a palm to block the ball first.

Parker launched a fast break, hit the basket and leaned on Udri to turn and hit a layup. But the Spurs' counterattack was quick, and Hawley, who came off the bench, made up for the ball that Barry missed.

In the last 30 seconds of an attack, Parker missed three points, Yudri used the last 5 seconds to send a wonderful pass directly to the basket, Ginobili received the ball and made a layup, 23 draws!

"It was beyond my expectations to be able to tie the opponent in the first quarter." Tang Shuai was very satisfied with the performance of the players. He is well aware that the Rockets' bench depth is dominant, and with both sides in the field, the bench will inevitably win back if the starters do not lose.

"Without Tracy's singles, the strength of singles, except for Yao's, he relied on three-point shots. In the first quarter, Michael made two goals and Richard made one, which was good. Yuanfei also recognized the players' performance: "When Yao is resting, you can give the ball to Chris to play alone, after all, Muhammad's strength is not good." ”

"I ...... Do your best. Bosh was out of breath because he was defending Duncan. In the face of such a historical superstar, if he can make fewer mistakes and not be abused too badly, it is worth burning incense to celebrate.

In the second quarter, the Spurs attacked, and the ball was still handed to Ginobili, in a sense he was the main control today. Manu was quite comfortable facing Reed, and a wobbly step-back jumper made a three-pointer, to which Reed did not react. Fortunately, the ball slammed out of the basket, but Manu had already cut into the three-second zone in an instant, and flew to make up for the basket.

"Michael, improve your concentration!" Tang Shuai shouted anxiously.

Reed knew that he had made a mistake, and his face was a little unbearable, and he immediately wanted the ball back. But Jefferson didn't give him the ball and forced it into a foul on Barry. He hit both free throws to level again.

Ginobili won the ball on the run and turned around and hit a jumper.

"On this goal, Spurs' tactical discipline was shown. Ginobili made an outside-in cut, Reed defended well and cut off the pass, but Manu switched to an inside-out run to get the opportunity to shoot in the open space. Yuan Fei analyzed: "It's not a coincidence, it's a no-ball running routine played after many practices." ”

"You can see so much of this simple ball? It's a shame for us professional players! Billups said.

"Chaunse, you have to watch your opponent's tactics carefully. If we lose this game, it's up to you as the team to win the next game. Of course, I hope that without this, we would have won better today. Yuanfei quipped.

"If you look good, you may not be able to see that you are so famous...... Chauncy said modestly.

Bosh was in really good form today. Seeing that Yao Ming threw a ball and the Spurs were about to regain the ball, they saw Bosh rush to the basket, grab rebounds in a row, and use his faster bounce speed to steal a rebound from Duncan. Passing to the outside line Reed again, the sharpshooter Rede's hand is as steady as ever, the movement is coherent and smooth, and the shot is on! This is his third three-pointer!

Duncan received a pass from Udri, turned and hit a jumper steadily. He turned around expressionlessly after hitting the ball, as if scoring the ball was as casual and easy as eating and drinking!

Parker turned on impact mode again, hitting the basket and then splitting the outside Bosh, who hit a jumper from the free throw line.

"You're in good shape today." Duncan opened his mouth in a rare way to praise Kuaposh, but Bosh stared at Duncan like a monster.

"Huh? What's wrong? Duncan was puzzled.

"You're talking to me for the first time!"

“......”

Hawley received a pass from Udri and hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs took another one-point lead at 45:44.

Jefferson forced a basket and caused Barry's foul, Barry was replaced by Popovich with 3 fouls. Brown came off the bench.

Jefferson made just 1 of 2 free throws to equalize the score.

In the final 40 seconds, Yudri's strong shot missed, but Mohammed grabbed the rebound and drew a foul on Purzbilla. He made 2 of 2 free throws to make it 47-45.

Jefferson and Ginobili's final two shots each hit iron, and the first half ended with the Rockets still trailing by two points. (To be continued.) )
