In this wave of offense and defense, the Spurs built a double-digit lead.

The Rockets didn't manage to turn it over in the end.

112 to 108.

The Rockets played tenaciously, but in the end they were defeated.

Harden shot 11-of-25 from the field and 15-of-20 from the free-throw line, slashing for a quasi-triple-double of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.

Parsons had 15 points and 5 rebounds, and after being taught by Tang Tian live, he wanted to find a block opportunity to shake his finger back, but unfortunately he didn't get this opportunity until the end.

On the Spurs' side, Parker had 23 points and 6 assists, Ginobili had 13 points and 6 assists, and Duncan had 11 points and 10 boards.

Tang Tian's performance continued to be eye-catching, shooting 7 of 14 from the field, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, plus 4 free throws, scoring 24 points, 2 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

Winning this game, the Spurs also took a 3-0 lead in the series.

After the match, Popovich attended a press conference with Don and Parker.

"The team was 10 points ahead of the Rockets in the first quarter, and only scored two goals from 10 shots in the opening period, what do you think was the problem?"

"Out of the basket."

……

'There was a big difference between the two halves, what was the reason for the change?'

"I don't know, I was kicked off the court by the referee in the first quarter, you have to ask Mike [Budenholzer] about that."

……

"How do you feel now that the team is 3-0 up by the big score?"

"It's so cool that we don't have to be eliminated in the first round."

……

Popovich was full of witty remarks in the interview, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

But he should also be in a good mood, this Harden has made 20 free throws, and the Spurs are stunned to win, this is not happy and inappropriate!

The Spurs were in a good mood at the press conference, but on the other side of the Rockets, it was much more dull.

Coach McHale and Harden were the focus of reporters' questions.

"Coach, what is the main reason why the team's performance in the second half is obviously not as good as in the first half?"

"We need more people to step up and score, James [Harden] alone can't beat the Spurs." McHale replied.

Parsons on the side: ......

"James, T-Mac scored 7 points in this game, which helped the Spurs narrow the gap to 3 points at once, do you think T-Mac will be a problem for you in your next game?" The reporter then pointed the finger at Harden.

"No, we're not going to let that happen, T-Mac is no longer the protagonist of this league, we're more concerned about the next game now."

Harden seemed in a bad mood and didn't have much interest in cooperating with reporters.

After a two-day break, Game 4 between the Rockets and Spurs resumed at the Toyota Center.

The defeat in the last game had a huge impact on the Rockets, and this one was a complete rout.

By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were trailing the Spurs by as many as 25 points.

The entire fourth quarter became garbage time.

By the fourth quarter, fans knew that the Rockets' elimination was a foregone conclusion, and began to chant in unison for Maddie to play.

Popovich was in a good mood and replaced Maddie with five minutes left in the game.

Maddie's competitive state is not much of an advantage compared to those bench players.

However, the Spurs team atmosphere is good, and those bench players did not patronize themselves to steal points, but gave Maddy a pass when they had the opportunity.

Maddie seized the opportunity to hit a trademark pull just before the end of the game to bring the series to a successful close.

4-0, despite the stubborn resistance of the Rockets in the second and third games, the Spurs swept the Spurs in a low-key manner.

The series has ended, but the discussion among Rockets fans on social media has not diminished, and it has even reached a peak.

"This is Harden's first year with the team, and four of our starters are rookies, so it's good to be able to play like this."

"The future is exciting, and I'm sure Harden will be on the next level."

"But we have to make a wave of reinforcements in the offseason, and we only have one Asik on the inside, which is too weak."

"We didn't even start a power forward, awkward."

"I think Parsons can play power forward, the All-Star doesn't have a center position, the small ball era is coming, and now the most important thing is that we have to bring Don in the summer, so that our roster is complete!"

"James Harden is our Michael Jordan, and Don will be our Scottie Pippen!"

"Darrell Morey, please do it again!"

……

After the White Wolves brought in Jeremy Lin and Asik last summer, they were quite confident that the team would take Tang Tian empty-handed in the summer.

The Spurs swept the Rockets, and on the other side, the Heat also sent the Bucks a 4-0 run.

It was also the only two-set series swept in the first round.

Entangled by Popovich's poisonous aura, the matches of the other groups were all in white heat.

The Celtics 1-3 Knicks, the Hawks 1-3 Pacers.

This is all normal.

The Nets and Bulls, Nuggets and Warriors, Clippers and Lakers have all been tied 2-2.

These three groups are unexpectedly anxious.

But the real surprise was the game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

After 4 games, the Thunder, the second in the West, has fallen behind the Grizzlies 1-3!

Looking at this posture, this year is going to go to Black Seven.

"I feel sorry for the Thunder for a minute, they have one less Harden, and they can't even enter the Western Conference semifinals."

"Actually, there is still one less Westbrook, Wei Shao was injured after the first game, and he didn't play in the back, and he didn't play any games that the Thunder lost."

"I feel sorry for Xiaoshuai for an hour, this was supposed to be his MVP season."

"I felt sorry for Xiaoshuai for two hours, and this hit the bathwater again and failed."

"I feel sorry for Xiaoshuai for three hours, and I can't even get the opportunity to challenge the Spurs this year."

"Don: I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals, and I can't help if you can't get in."

"Tang: Actually, it doesn't matter, you don't need to win the championship if you want bath water, just ask, I specially left a basin for you in the commercial that day."

"A pot...... Pierced in the heart. ”

……

Because potential opponents Clippers and Lakers are not finished, the Spurs also ushered in a rare few days of rest.

"Don, guess who will win this year?"

One of the benefits of finishing the series early is that in addition to getting a break, you can also be a spectator.

After training this day, Green pulled Tang Tian to talk about the next opponent.

"Lakers."

Tang Tian gave his own answer.

"Why?"

"Because they have Kobe."

Tang Tian replied with a smile.

Green was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

It's a very simple answer, but he can't refute it.

In this kind of matchup of equal strength, Kobe's mamba spirit still works very well.
