Toyota Center.

Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals of the 14-15 NBA playoffs kicked off as scheduled.

The Rockets, who have won consecutive battles, are at the peak of their morale.

Harden led his high-spirited teammates to score three games in a row and take the lead in the game point.

McHale repeatedly jingled the bell to focus on defensive tasks.

Popovich also made the final deployment before the game.

The starting lineups of both sides are released——

Rockets side Terry, Harden, Parsons, Jones, Howard.

On the Spurs side, Deng Hongfei, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Dior, Duncan.

Seeing this starting five, McHale couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

A discerning person can see at a glance that Popovich has changed formation.

Losing two games in a row, you have to make some adjustments.

Looking at the five men on the court, McHale could see at a glance the main points of adjustment.

Deng Hongfei replaced the original iron starting No. 1 Parker.

Green was on the second spot.

No. 3 Leonard.

These three men formed a formidable front line defense.

Popovich aims to bolster the impact of the No. 1 position.

At the same time, it also gives Spurs a lot of depth in the rotation lineup for this game.

Parker plus Ginobili's rotation combination of the first and second positions speaks for itself.

"Greg, this old guy is a madman."

McHale cursed inwardly.

Looking at the entire NBA league, no head coach of any team dares to make this kind of substitution adjustment, directly taking the original iron-clad starter, one of the three giants of GDP, and boldly using a newcomer.

Isn't this also announcing to everyone that the San Antonio Spurs have entered the era of double stars?

It's right to think about it, although the Big Three are stable, they are old, and the replacement of the old and the new is inevitable.

Messina was actually nervous.

The NBA playoffs, in terms of atmosphere, competitiveness, and popularity on the court, are far better than the European leagues, and this is the first time in his coaching career that he has experienced such a big scene.

For this change of formation, he can't be sure whether the effect is good or not.

A whistle blows, and the game begins.

Duncan took the lead in jumping possession for the Spurs and seemed like a good start.

Deng Hongfei's eyes were solemn.

He didn't perform well in the first two games, and this time he was entrusted with a big responsibility, which is also a justification for him.

In the regular season, the two teams have met four times, and the Spurs have the advantage.

But that's the regular season, it's not the same thing as the playoffs.

Deng Hongfei struggled to recall what it felt like to win.

The belief in victory swirled and gathered in his heart, concentrating into an extremely condensed point, which suddenly emanated throughout his body.

Under the impact of the vast red wave in the Toyota Center.

He stabilized his mentality, and as soon as he came up, he continued to change direction and shake off Harden, showing the aggressiveness that disappeared in the first two games.

The horizontal dribble suddenly threw a strong spin and hit the ground, extremely through the Rocketman's gap, and smashed into the Kowhi Leonard, who cut diagonally to the bottom of the basket.

The latter ignored Ariza, who was chasing behind him, picked up the basketball with one hand, and slammed it towards Howard fearlessly.

The tower-like body of the Warcraft erected a strong and powerful iron arm, blocking the air and pressing down strongly.

However, Leonard is tall and has long arms, and a pair of big hands that are far beyond ordinary people, he just grabbed the basketball firmly in the air, avoided the block, and drew a round basket from the side!

It's incredibly difficult!

The ball rose from behind Howard's armpit, drew a not too long, but highly curved arc, and slid out of the basket, Duncan waited for a long time, jumped easily, and advanced with one hand to make a basket to give the Spurs the lead.

Right from the start, the San Antonio people showed a lot of momentum.

Demonstrate the determination to win.

Whether it's Deng Hong's lightning-fast continuous dribble, or Kawhi Leonard's fearless air dodging difficult picks.

The twin stars shine at the same time, infecting the entire team at once.

Vitality is greatly increased.

Harden came over with the ball and faced directly at Kawai's high-pressure defense.

He had to protect the ball sideways and not rush forward.

The current high-intensity situation is not as expected before the Rockets, the Spurs have lost two games in a row, crazy counterattacks are inevitable, facing crazy opponents, they only need to do one thing, is to resist, and then seize the opportunity to fight back.

One is vigorous, two is declining, and three is exhausted.

The opening Spurs are in a period of full swing.

Resist this breath, and it is a new life.

So Harden is not in a hurry, just steady and steady, and lengthening the front line is good for the Rockets, after all, the longer the time consumes, the greater the test of people's will, everyone knows this truth.

With a turn, the view returned, and he found Ariza, handing the ball over with an understatement.

The latter faced Deng Hongfei directly, and the triple threat did not find a good opportunity under the tentative step, so he had to smash it to Terrence Jones, who came to receive the ball in the block, Jones directly faced the frame after receiving the ball, and then accelerated to the side of the hand with a heavy shoulder.

He drove his body into the paint area in three steps, held the basketball high with one hand, and shot the hook ball with a big loop, a little more forceful, and smashed into the back of the basket......

Under the basket, Deng Hongfei didn't know where to insert it horizontally, took off to grab the rebound with one hand, and before he landed, he threw it hard to the front court, only to see the red comet smashing across most of the court and falling to the ground, just right to smash into the hands of Leonard, who was in place of fast breaking, and the latter rode into the dust, grabbed the ball in three steps and went in with one hand to glide and split the dunk to score two more points!

Four to zero!

A strong start.

The momentum of the Spurs is rising.

McHale was a little worried, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

But he didn't rush to call a timeout, the 4-0 start was not too exaggerated, and he was ready to take another look.

It was only after a few transitions that the Rockets once again announced that the city gate was lost.

The Spurs' defense can be called a mad dog, everyone has a murderous spirit in their eyes, and their movements are not restrained at all, opening and closing, and they are full of domineering.

For a while, it seemed that the rocket was really frightened.

After more than two minutes, all the shots were ironed, and it fell into a scoring drought.

Instead, the Spurs seized the opportunity and went straight to a 10-0 offensive climax!

McHale couldn't sit still any longer and called a timeout.

After the timeout, he didn't make any substitutions and still played with this lineup.

It's a pity that the momentum of the Spurs is still at its peak.

Their hit rate is not too exaggerated.

But the aggression is extremely terrifying, and the ball is quite active.

"Drop!"

A sharp whistle pierced the sky.

Monster Howard looked at the referee with a sad expression.

Just five minutes into the first quarter, he picked up his second foul.

The foul alarm goes off early.

Seeing this, McHale had to replace him for the sake of caution.

It's just that such a move will undoubtedly make the battle situation more passive.
