The Rockets' sideline ball, Sun Yue sent it directly to Artest, who turned around and broke through with his back to Bowen.

Looking at Artest's fierce look, the weak-side second-year student Yuduka was stunned and didn't dare to help defend him.

Artest pressed Bowen for a layup and scored.

"What are you doing? Yes? Do! Popovich jumped straight to his feet on the sidelines.

The Spurs attacked, Mason and Yudoka played a block and pick-and-roll, and after the pick-and-roll, a beautiful split ball was given to Yudoka.

Yudoka is about to dunk when he gets the ball.

But at this time, Artest retreated to the basket and met it with teeth and claws.

Yuduka visibly hesitated.

"Bang!"

The two people physically confronted each other for a while, and the dunk turned into a throw.

"Bang!"

The basketball came out of the basket and was grabbed by Sun Yue, who rushed in.

The Rockets quickly pushed the fast attack, Artest received the ball in the frontcourt and went on a rampage, and when he looked back, he saw Jordan Jr. following him, and smashed the ball directly on the rebound.

At the same time, he used his own strength to push Bowen off the court.

Jordan Jr. took a big step and held down the ball that bounced back from the rebound and jumped straight away.

"Bang!"

He raised his feet and smashed the whole person onto the basket, and the huge force directly pressed the basket down by three or four centimeters.

The cheers at the scene exploded.

Since Artest was whistled for a technical foul, the Rockets have completely turned the momentum on the court this time!

Popovich couldn't sit still and turned to wake up Ginobili and McDice.

The Spurs played a hammer game on the court, Mason missed a three-pointer, and Jordan Jr. collected a defensive rebound.

The Rockets pushed the fast break, Sun Yue dribbled the way, and after being chased by Hill, he turned back to the moon and passed the ball to Artest, who was following up.

Artest made a sharp stop from beyond the three-point line.

Straight up and straight down, the posture is a bit ugly.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the rebound like a cannonball, but it bounced back and went in!

40 to 30!

The Rockets have played a wave of 11-3 mini-climaxes in the past!

The score difference goes straight to double digits!

Popovich couldn't stand it a little, and before Ginobili and McDice could play, he called a timeout.

When Artest got off the field, Tang Tian smiled and punched him in the chest: "Well done!" ”

The two teams have been in a stalemate since the opening game, and the wave of attacks led by Artest has brought the balance of victory back.

After the timeout, Popovich's side brought back all the main players except Finley, plus a Ginobili.

He was genuinely angry, and he realized that something was wrong.

Tang Tian's side reacted quickly, and when he saw the Spurs' substitutions, in addition to replacing Battier with Artest, the other starters were all replaced.

Here, the Spurs Ginobili sudden, and Maddy turned around to create a kill to the free throw line.

Duncan forced Yi Jianlian under the basket, and Yao Ming also hit McDyce when he turned around.

After the scuffle at the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides entered a stalemate.

Popovich's various tactical adjustments, Tang Tian saw the moves, and he couldn't get the score closer again.

This is also a game between masters, and a small detail can already determine success or failure.

The game unwittingly came to the second half of the fourth quarter, and the Rockets led 101-92.

The Spurs' offense, Duncan sank in the low post, and Yao Ming defended behind him.

At this time in the game, there was no such thing as retaining physical strength, and the two faced directly against each other.

Duncan turned and hit his back, but he didn't hit it hard, and he knew that he didn't have an advantage in this matchup.

Parker and Ginobili cut through the Rockets defense on either side.

However, the Rockets were on the court at the same time as Artest and Battier, and the opportunity was not so easy.

Duncan saw that he had no chance, so he could only turn around and fight hard.

Turned around, turned his back, leaned sideways against Yao Ming, and made an outward hook with his other hand.

It's a tough ball.

The ball went over Yao Ming's fingertips.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the high point of the rebound, bounced off the front of the basket, and rolled in.

Duncan is a historic supergiant.

"Beat the beat!" Tang Tian waved at Biloops on the sidelines at this time.

Billups nodded, as a veteran, and played against the Spurs in '04, he definitely has enough experience.

Dribbling to the front court, he was not in a hurry to organize the attack, and when he got to the front court, he poured the ball a few times between him and Maddie, pressing the time to about 10 seconds, and then beckoned Yao Ming to block and dismantle, and after the dismantling, the ball was distributed to the weak side of Maddie.

Maddie broke through with the ball and killed the inside, causing McDyce's hitter to foul.

"Don't thug!" Popovich shouted a reminder from the sidelines.

After he finished speaking, he glanced up at the time, which was obviously in a hurry.

The Rockets not only pressed 24 seconds to the end, but also had two free throws.

Maddie went to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and hit both free throws.

The Rockets still have a nine-point lead.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan sent a second pass to Ginobili, but Yao Ming under the basket was in place, interfering with Ginobili's shot, and the ball came directly over the bridge and was accepted by Artest, who rushed over.

The Rockets were on a three-line fast break, but Billups shouted for Artest to pass the ball over, slowly dribbling the ball across the halfcourt, and directly giving up playing fast break.

When it comes to the front, it's still time pressing.

Popovich looked up at the time again and shouted at the players on the field to go to the trap.

Maddie gets the ball in the trap and goes back to Billups, who gets caught in the bag and then gives it to Artest.

Under the command of Billups, the Rockets were in no hurry to attack.

In the end, the offense played 24 seconds, the Rockets didn't score, Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound in confusion, and then gave it to Billups on the outside.

Billups stretched out his hand to signal for more time, and the Spurs on the court looked a little desperate.

Popovich also kept shaking his head.

More than 2 minutes passed, and the Spurs were stunned and couldn't catch up by a single point.

Tang Tian also sat back on the bench at this time.

The NBA headwind ball is difficult to play, and the downwind ball is not so easy to play, especially at the last moment, a careless player will be reversed by the opponent in waves.

But the so-called team has an old treasure, and there is Billups to press the lineup, which he doesn't have to worry about.

Billups always pressed the tempo, and with the Rockets' defensive intensity always on the line, the Spurs couldn't catch up with the score.

In the last attack, Billups pressed to the front court to let the time run out.

The score was 108-99.

When the final whistle sounded, the audience instantly fell into a boil.

Yao Ming scored a game-high 32 points, 11 boards and 7 assists, Maddie scored 22 points, 6 boards and 6 assists, Artest had 14 points, 10 boards and 3 steals, Yi Jianlian had 12 points and 6 boards, Jordan Jr. had 8 points and 7 boards, and Sun Yue had 7 points, 4 assists and 2 steals......

A battle for the pinnacle, which ended with the victory of the Rockets.

Tang Tian also won the first round against Popovich.
