The on-site photographer gave Tang Tian a lens.

After Tang Tian noticed it, he beckoned to the audience a little mischievously.

There was boos from the audience.

He smiled and didn't care, and continued to keep his eyes on the field.

His hand is the tactic of the "Big Three" period of the Heat team in the previous life, speeding up, counterattacking, and speeding up again.

This tactic is based on the opponent's inability to score, or direct defense through steals and other ways to get the ball to push the counterattack, which is very effective against teams like the Spurs and Celtics who like to play positional battles.

And what's stronger than the original Heat team is that the Rockets have Yao Ming and Billups, one can control rebounds, and the other can control passing errors.

In fact, Tang Tian had already tried this tactic in the first round.

The effect is very good.

Parker holds the ball on the outside and keeps gesturing his teammates to run.

With the clock ticking to 10 seconds, Parker and Ginobili combined to send a second pass to assist the latter to score a layup.

The situation finally subsided somewhat.

But only some.

The Rockets missed a three-point shot from the outside, and Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound above Duncan's head with his height advantage and scored a rebound.

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt to press the tempo again, and this time Ginobili missed a three-pointer from the outside.

Yao Ming collected the defensive rebound again, and the Rockets were four lines at the same time under the fast attack, Yao Ming was also a first-class player with a big vision and a good hand, and at this time he threw the ball directly to the frontcourt Maddie, Maddie received the ball and scored two points against Bowen, and also caused the latter's hand-pulling foul.

Maddie shouted excitedly, while Bowen was panting with his hands on his knees.

What's more lethal than tactics is that the Rockets' non-stop fast offense has tired the Spurs veterans.

Popovich then turned around and called out to Mason and Judoka, motioning for them to come on the field and replace Finley and Bowen.

Seeing the Spurs' substitution, Tang Tian finally laughed.

His tactics worked.

Two years ago, the infinite air cutting tactic was ultimately aimed at exhausting the Spurs, and now that this has been cracked, there is more than one way to exhaust anyway.

Now that it's so fast, Popovich will not have a problem even if he evolves to 3.0.

Because the initiative is on the side of Team Rocket.

Madiga hit a free throw, and the Rockets already led the Spurs by six points at 13-7.

Parker dribbled past half court to continue the rhythm, and Duncan hit a long-range jumper in the high post.

The Rockets advanced to the frontcourt, Maddy continued to attack the basket, and Yudoka, who came up, immediately received a defensive foul.

Although Bowen and Finley are old, they have experience and ability, and the defensive intensity of Yuduka who came up at this time went down at once.

Maddie hit both free throws to continue to add points.

The Spurs frontcourt battle, Duncan's shot was off, Yao Ming grabbed the defensive rebound, the Rockets also played a fast break, Parker pulled people directly in a hurry, and was whistled for a physical foul.

The Rockets made one of two free throws.

Popovich couldn't help but rub his eyes with his hands at this time, turned his head to look at the bench seat, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were very helpless.

These rotations, like his age, belong to the ranks of the elderly, where to withstand this shock.

And Maddie.

Looking at Maddie, who executed technical free throws, the old man had a headache.

Duncan can block Yao Ming, who can stop Maddie?

The game continued to attack, and the Rockets didn't say anything, whether it was the main force or the substitute, they just brought the pace fast and rushed violently.

Yao Ming and Jordan Jr. did a pretty good job of rebounding protection, and the Spurs were losing in passivity.

Duncan's positional battle can still be done in one person and one city, but after running, it is beyond the reach of the whip, coupled with his age, his physical strength is also a great test.

In the end, the Rockets were stunned to run the Spurs to death and won 116-98.

Yao Ming had a triple-double of 22 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, while Maddie scored a game-high 32 points, plus six rebounds and five assists.

The Spurs were exhausted throughout the game, and although the "GDP" also scored 70 points, it was to no avail.

Popovich did not attend the press conference after the game.

After losing this game, the Spurs are already 1-3 down in the big score, and there is little hope of a reversal.

For the old man, time was running out for him.

And after the end of this game, Tang Tian also gained a lot.

From playing the Celtics for the first time in the regular season, to playing the Mavericks' trial, and finally to the success against the Spurs, it has been proved that he can also play this set of tactics, and he has mastered the two key points of rebounding and fast-break engine.

Counting the three-point shooting tactics and infinite air-cutting tactics used in this Rockets team before, this is equivalent to another set of tactics in his coaching arsenal.

This is something that neither the system nor the memories of previous lives can give, but it is something that really grows.

At the end of the game between the Rockets and the Spurs, another semifinal in the East had just been played.

The Cavaliers lost again to the Magic 101-121, falling behind 1-3.

Counting the Spurs, who fell behind 1-3, this is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, and shooting all the front waves to death on the beach.

Game 5 of the Rockets-Spurs game returns to the Toyota Center.

Because they have come to the match point, the Spurs players are playing very the court, even Finley Sr. and Bowen Sr. are gritting their teeth and running back and forth with the Rockets.

That insistence paid off, and at halftime, the Spurs led the Rockets 56-53.

But in the second half, these veterans began to have problems with their physical strength, and finally in the cheers of the fans at the Toyota Center, the Rockets' wave after wave of fast attack directly slapped the Spurs, the old man, to death on the beach.

111-101, the Rockets managed to win the game, thus eliminating the Spurs 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Yao Ming scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, and his performance was as stable as ever.

Maddie scored 36 points again, and there was no joint defense in the fast break, and there was not much to do about him one-on-one, whether it was Bowen Sr. or Judoka.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the quest and earning 3 honor points. ”

At the end of the game, Tang Tian also received a wave of generous rewards.

That night was not in vain.

The Rockets' post-game press conference was quite high.

The Spurs played tenaciously, but the Rockets still eliminated the opponent by a big score, and this strength made the fans confident.

The Spurs' post-game press conference was somewhat dull, and it was the second year in a row that the Rockets had been shut out of the Finals.

Popovich isn't Phil Jackson, and Duncan isn't Kobe, and they're not going to talk about revenge next year, because every year passes, all of their players get a year older.

"I think I'm going to have a drink after the game, it's finally over the long season and it's time to relax." The old man finally let go of his mentality, now that the facts have been decided, there is no point in dwelling.

After the press conference, Tang Tian was about to drive back to the apartment to rest, but his mobile phone rang.

When I picked it up, it was still an unknown number.

"I'm Greg, let's have a drink another day?"

After the phone was connected, what Tang Tian didn't expect was that it was Popovich's voice from the other end.
