On the offensive end, the two sides are tactically dominant, and the invisible confrontations on the defensive end are also endless.

Both sides have a huge physical exertion, and veterans like Bowen and Finley were basically replaced after playing a little more than half a quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Spurs 29-27 thanks to a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Maddy.

The Spurs in the playoffs showed their resilience as always, and the Rockets really met their opponents.

Back in the second quarter, the physical exertion of the players on both sides was huge, and both sides invariably expanded the rotation lineup.

On the Spurs' side, George Hill, Mason, Bonner, and Goodon were replaced, and Bowen was also reintroduced.

On the Rockets' side, there are all five benches, Sun Yue, Morrow, Artest, Scola and Jordan Jr.

came up to the Rockets' offense, Sun Yue handed the ball to Scola to respond, Morrow borrowed Jordan Jr. to block and get a chance on the outside, and Scola threw his hand to pass the ball out.

Morrow catches the ball and throws.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, although he was a rookie, Morrow's three points were really stable, and he hit it steadily on his first shot.

"Hold on to your own people, pout your damn ass!" Popovich was visibly upset, and now he yelled at the players on the field, reaching out and waving his hand and almost breaking the button of his suit.

Don't be fooled by the old man's gentle and elegant appearance, he is really fierce, and there are few coaches in the league who are fiercer than him.

It's like a whip on the ass of a Spurs player, back on the offensive end, Hill's three-point score, but Bonner's rising big ass stuck Jordan Jr., and Gooden pressed Scola to grab an offensive rebound and score a basket.

Back on the defensive end, the players were obviously fighting more fiercely on the court, Morrow took a chance, but the shot was interfered with by Bowen, who was making up the defense, and the ball went out of the basket.

Jordan Jr. wanted to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, but Gooden couldn't jump and directly put him to the ground with a dark elbow.

The referee then blew the whistle and reached out for Gooden's push foul.

Gooden was still complaining to the referee, but at this moment, Artest suddenly rushed up, pushed Gooden violently, and then sprayed directly in his mouth.

The referee didn't see the elbow, his old fritter could see it clearly, and before little Jordan got up, he opened it directly.

Gooden was pushed directly out of the bottom line by Artest, and wanted to resist but was pushed away by the referee.

At this time, the other members of the Rocket team also pulled Artest to stop.

The referee reacted in a timely manner, and no further clashes broke out between the two sides, and Jordan Jr. was also helped up from the ground by the players.

The referee consults in midfield.

"That's a dirty move, elbow strike!" Tang Tian walked to the end of the bench at this time and reminded the referee loudly.

The referee did not react this time, and soon, the three of them discussed the result.

Gooden had a defensive foul and Artest had a technical foul.

Tang Weather's handshake, and the scene was also booed.

"Don, do you want to replace Ron to cool down?" Cole walked over at this time to remind.

"Nope." Tang Tian directly motioned for Artest to come over at this time.

When he arrived, he reached out and pulled Artaestre low, then lowered his voice and said, "If they still play this game, give me a hard response to them, and don't let the referee see it." ”

If the Spurs want to play dirty, he doesn't mind putting it sideways.

Artest nodded vigorously, Bowen's black hand had already made him very unhappy before.

The game continued, Hill executed a technical free throw, and the Rockets hit the ball in the frontcourt.

Sun Yue sent the ball in the front court, Artest received the ball and found Scola to block and dismantle, and broke through to the basket after dismantling the ball.

Artest's size is the closest to James, and this breakthrough is also full of momentum.

The Spurs shrank to the basket, and at this moment, Artest threw his hand and passed the ball to the outside, and Morrow was already in position outside the three-point line at this time.

Ball to shot.

"Bang!"

However, the shot was a little shorter, bumped into the front of the basket and bounced.

Gooden was about to collect the defensive rebound, and at that moment, Artest went straight out of the diagonal side, grabbed the ball in his arms before Gooden, and took the ball straight to the basket.

Gooden wanted to pull him after seeing it, but Artest had already taken precautions, and at this time his shoulders were forced.

"Bang!"

Before Gooden's hand could be pulled, he received an elbow directly on his chest.

He grinned in pain, and wanted to pull it, but Artest had already put his whole body on him, and the two of them were entangled.

"Toot! Honk! ”

The referee's whistle sounded.

Artest had already raised his hands at this time, signaling that he had not committed a foul.

Gooden pushed Artest away in annoyance, and wanted to throw a punch, but he had already been pushed away by the referee.

Without any suspense, he gave Gooden a technical foul with a shake of his hand.

Gooden was about to jump, it was obvious that he had elbowed Artest.

But unfortunately, all the referee saw was Gooden wanting to throw a punch.

The rest of the Spurs also rushed over and pulled Gooden to the sidelines.

Tang Tian smiled at this time.

The NBA is all-encompassing, there must be people who play dirty, and stars are most afraid of this kind of person, who may be ruined by the other party if they are not careful.

But what are people who play dirty balls most afraid of? The most afraid is to meet someone who plays the ball, you can't play, and you don't dare to use dirty.

Morrow goes to take a technical free throw.

Artest pulled Jordan Jr. to stand on the sidelines at this time, pointing to the basket and constantly educating something.

That mouth shape, full of swearing, just doing it one bite at a time, is bringing bad young people.

Morrow hit a technical free throw, and the Rockets continued to serve the ball on the sideline.

The ball was in the hands of Scola and he continued to respond to the free-throw line.

Artest cuts the basket and Scola hits the ball beautifully.

Artest received the ball and continued to crush Bowen for a layup.

Bowen is 38 years old, and being crushed and beaten like this is going to be too late.

Instinctively, he stretched out his foot to go to the mat.

This kick is hidden and fast, and I don't know how many people have suffered before.

However, Artest was already on guard, and dodged the moment he saw Bowen raise his foot, and then slammed his shoulder.

"Bang!"

Before Bowen could step on his feet, he was directly hit by Artest and flew out of the bottom line.

Artest then staggered off the pitch as well.

Both men fell to the ground at the same time.

It happened too fast just now, and the referee didn't see it clearly, so he was stunned for a moment and blew a ball out of bounds.

Artest got up from the ground in a hurry, and Bowen held his hands on his chest with a painful expression.

James is a tank when he rushes up, and Artest is a Humvee when he rushes up!

When he was finally helped up by his teammates, he gasped and eased up, and then looked at Artest, his eyes were extremely jealous.

The moment he was knocked over just now, he really almost didn't catch it in one breath.

Artest walked to the baseline to serve casually, and the discerning people realized that the one he saved just now was pretended.

This ball is really a bit horizontal.
