"At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming and Rasione Estrovic stood in the center circle, and the jump ball began!"

The basketball was thrown high, Yao Ming jumped up, but he was a step too slow, Rasiunestrovic touched the basketball first, Tony Parker grabbed the basketball, and the Spurs opened the game.

The opening first goal Spurs played without friction, after Tony Parker got the ball, he immediately picked up speed, quickly rushed to the front court, and stopped the ball on the outside, but it was a false wave.

Then, with another acceleration, it rushed directly to the three-point line.

As soon as the Rockets' defense took shape, after Tony Parker rushed in, Gary Payton's defense was out of position, and he had to eat dust behind the French trot body.

Chris Anderson made up for it, and Tim Duncan went straight inside the line.

Tony Parker took a risk and made a ground-hitting pass.

Duncan barely received the ball, Yao Ming made up for it, Ron Artest also made up for the restricted area, and it seemed that the Rockets were in place at every point against the Spurs, but Bruce Bowen in the bottom corner was empty.

Duncan split the ball, Bruce Bowen caught the ball and jumped up, smack, and hit a three-pointer!

At the beginning, the Spurs took the Rockets by surprise through Tony Parker's quick breakaway, and the ball was finally distributed to Bruce Bowen.

The Spurs' offensive tactics Qiao Hai saw through at a glance, this ball is actually a variant of the hammer tactic, the player with the ball hits the basket with all his might, attracts the bottom corner to come and pinch the shot, and then the ball is divided into the pitcher in the bottom corner.

Qiao Hai played more in the Grizzlies and last season's Rockets, and this season's Rockets' offense is concentrated in the high and mid-range, and this style of play is less.

However, Popovich succeeded in stealing again, and the Spurs' hammer tactics were still not less.

The Rockets attacked, and as soon as Yao Ming received the ball, Duncan posted it.

In other words, the Spurs did not arrange a single marking of Yao Ming, they played a joint defense, as long as Yao Ming received the ball, Duncan who swept the middle distance would stare Yao Ming to death.

For Yao Ming, if Duncan is the one who defends him, then he is not dominant on the offensive end.

But this ball, Yao Ming still created a threat in the mid-range position, he took the ball with his back, and kept turning his head to aim at the basket behind him.

Then Wade cut in diagonally and took the ball with his hand.

After receiving a ball-handling run, Wade sprinted towards the basket, forcing the Spurs to sacrifice a pinch-and-shoot strategy.

After encountering a pinch, Wade decisively passed the ball to Ron Artest, who threw off Bruce Bowen's bottom line, Artai received the ball, stepped into the penalty area, and then jumped up, and the splitter was a violent dunk!

There was a clang, and the Toyota Center was filled with cheers.

The Rockets' goal looks a little difficult, but it actually reflects Qiao Hai's tactical thinking, even if Yao Ming can't score, as long as he can create a threat in the mid-range position, the Rockets' offense will not have a problem.

Spurs' offense, the ball is given to Manu Ginobili, Manu starts, he must take the ball, and Manu, who does not take the ball, threatens to drop by at least half.

In fact, that's why Spurs are always used to starting Manu off the bench and Tony Parker, because both need to have the ball in their hands.

As soon as Manu got the ball, Duncan was in mid-range position.

Then, Manu moved towards Duncan with the ball, Duncan sideways and directly gave a cover, the Rockets' choice was to change defenses, and their defense was actually infinite defenses.

But after the change of defense, Ginobili faced Chris Anderson, and he immediately made a lateral move, accelerating and rushing inside.

After completely shaking off Chris Anderson, Ginobili suddenly made another emergency stop, and Chris Anderson's change of defense was completely out of position.

With a bang, Ginobili's subsequent jumper hit accurately.

Yao Ming served in the backcourt and gave it to Wade.

Wade held the ball and rushed directly to the frontcourt, intending to counterattack, but the Spurs' retreat was quick and directly strangled the Rockets' counterattack.

Wade could only press down the tempo, and the game went into a positional battle, with the Spurs switching defenses and Bruce Bowen facing Wade.

In the face of Bruce Bowen's defense, Wade broke through at an accelerated pace and burst to the free throw line to take a step out, but was blocked by Duncan.

Then, Wade passed the ball back to Ron Artest.

Ron Artest received the ball with two consecutive crotch dribbles, and then pulled up directly, resisted Ginobili's defense, and shot a three-pointer.

Bang, three points in!

At the beginning, Artai scored 5 points in a row, Popovich obviously didn't expect that Wade didn't break out, Yao Ming didn't break out either, and the first person to break out was Ron Artest.

At 5:5 in the opening game, the two teams played a draw.

……

Then it was the Spurs' offense, and they played another mid-range pick-and-roll combination, this time it was Duncan who scored, and after blocking the split, Duncan received the ball and hit a shot.

The Rocket's offense, the ball continued to be given to Yao Ming, Yao Ming faced Duncan's defense, responded from the middle distance, Wade cut the basket in the air, Yao Ming passed a hit to the earth, and gave it to Wade.

Wade made a layup and scored two points.

Spurs' offense, Tony Parker's mid-range shot.

Rocket's offense, Yao Ming singled a ball, shook Duncan with his footsteps, rushed into the restricted area, and scored two points with a small throw from close range.

Subsequently, the Spurs played a wave of cooperation in the frontcourt, Tony Parker held the ball, and the off-ball blocking of Duncan and Ginobili on the weak side, after dismantling, Duncan directly gave Parker a single block in the middle distance, and Tony Parker rushed a step to attract the Rockets' defense.

Ginobili slipped the baseline and then received a pass from Parker and scored two points on an empty layup.

Then, the Rocket's offense, Yao Ming singled again in the middle distance, and hit the iron in the middle shot.

The score was 9:9, and the two teams continued to draw.

……

The game ended at the end of the first quarter, and the Rockets led by four points at 26-22.

It seems that in the second half of the first quarter, although the Spurs replaced Manuginobili, their offensive firepower was still maintained until the end of the first quarter, only four points behind, only two goals apart, the gap is not big, and the Spurs are completely acceptable.

But Greg Popovich frowned, and he felt that the situation was not good.

In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets mainly scored 11 points in the first quarter, Yao Ming scored 5 points, Wade and Gary Payton only played half a quarter of the game, one scored 4 points, and the other scored 2 points and 2 assists.

So, in the second quarter of the game, Qiao Hai's arrangement became very easy.

Gary Payton and Wade came on at the same time, plus Kyler Korver at the small forward position, and the interior combination was Boris Dior and Greg Ostertag.

Greg Popovich directly replaced Manuginobili, who had been resting for half a quarter, with Tyshawn Prince and Anthony Carter, and Mari Cross and Robert Horry on the inside.

Obviously, in terms of squad depth, the Spurs are already a notch weaker.

After a fierce battle in the first quarter, the Spurs' rotation lineup was already stretched.
