Two days later, the Rockets face off against the Spurs in Game 4.

To Tang Tian's surprise, Popovich didn't seem to make any major adjustments.

But it's also a matter of course.

At this time, Popovich was far from being as old as he was when he played the Warriors in his previous life, and even at that time, he actually didn't have much to do.

This match was also the same as the previous one, and both teams were in a state of anxiety from the start.

In terms of strength alone, the Spurs are stronger than the Rockets, which was decided at the beginning of the series, but after the infinite air cut tactic, the two sides changed from four to six to five or five, which means that as long as there are no accidents, both sides will play until the last moment, and then the stars will decide the outcome of the game.

And at this time, Yao Mai's strength is not lost to "GDP".

The same is true of this match, the two teams went from the initial anxiety to a stalemate, and still did not decide the winner in the final tiebreaker.

At the critical moment, the Rockets this time it was Maddy who stepped up, and he hit three difficult three-pointers from the outside in a row, dreaming back to the 35 seconds and 13 minutes against the Spurs in 04, and took away the game in a wave.

The Rockets won two cities in a row, and when they were absolutely not optimistic, they chased the big score to 2-2.

The scales, which had been tilted in favor of the Spurs, began to gradually become balanced.

As the balance changed, the trend of the series between the two sides also became confusing.

In the fifth game of the series, the youngest "P" in the "GDP" ushered in the explosive night of his career, and broke Blake of the Rockets in the final moments, helping the team narrowly defeat the Rockets 101-97 and regain the series lead.

In the sixth game of the series, the two teams still played to the final decisive moment, and in the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at the Toyota Center, Yao Mai teamed up to play a wave of 10-2 offensive at the last moment, helping the team win 106-96 again.

After each game at home, the two sides will have a final tie-break, which is also the first tie-break since this year's playoffs.

After the Spurs took a 2-0 lead, no one could have imagined that the game would enter this stage.

And when all of this happens, it's more than just a game.

The official website of the league has made more than one announcement about this game, and major media have also formed this battle of seven as "the battle of the century" and "the battle of the peak", and fans are also discussing it on Twitter, Facebook, and major forums.

According to the pre-game survey, the number of pre-viewers of the tie-break in the United States reached more than 50 million, which set a record for nearly a decade.

From this statistic alone, you can feel how much attention this game has received.

To paraphrase ESPN commentator Reggie Miller's words: No matter who plays in the Finals in the East, it is not a threat to the teams in the West, and the seventh in the West is the final championship.

The United States is paying attention to wireless broadcasting, and in China, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, fans are even more in a frenzy, coinciding with the weekend, CCTV has prepared for the ratings in advance.

On June 2, U.S. time, in anticipation, the seven-game battle between the Rockets and the Spurs kicked off at the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio.

San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas, and while it can't be compared to Houston in terms of size, the enthusiasm of the fans is not lost at all.

The AT&T Center Arena was packed that night, and fans held up the big KT board of "GDP" and shook wildly in the arena.

The Spurs have won two championships in four years since 2002, and fans don't mind turning that statistic into three championships in five years, and in fact they are only one such achievement looks like this last game, a home game, and the previous three home games, they have won.

At the same time, nearly 200 TV stations also started the global live broadcast of the game for the first time.

All eyes on you.

After the previous six big games, the two sides already know each other well, and there is no change in the starting lineup.

"Kenny, who do you think has the better chance of winning this fight?" The commentary for this battle of focus was on TNT's Barkley and Kenny Smith, and before the game even started, Barkley started to warm up early.

"It's really hard to say, when the Spurs led 2-0 before, I thought it would be a one-sided game, but the change in the Rockets' tactics, Tang Tian's incredible guy, I really don't know what incredible tactics he will sacrifice at the last moment." Smith sighed.

"Haha, yes, Tang Tian is indeed incredible." Barkley has watched these 6 battles, and like Smith, he is completely convinced of Tang Tian.

"But I think this game is about playing on the spot, and the Rockets' new tactics are very effective, and they won't change it on the imposing end." Barkley continued.

Smith nodded, it was quite possible.

After completing the pre-match warm-up, the two starters came on one after another.

It was Yao Ming and Duncan who jumped the ball.

To the cheers of the crowd, Duncan jumped up first and flicked the ball back into the Spurs' half, giving the home team a chance to attack first.

Parker drove to the front court with the ball, and the Spurs continued to create misaligned opportunities through constant pick-and-rolls.

After some tactical runs, Parker faced Millsap and scored on a beautiful basket spinning top layup.

In the entire Western Conference finals, Parker averaged 26.8 points and 8.6 assists per game, which is the most obvious point of opposition advantage in "GDP".

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming holds the ball at the free throw line, Blake and Maddy, Maddie and Battier, Battier and Millsap, the Rockets still play infinite air cut tactics.

From the third game to the past six major battles, the high-intensity confrontation has made the Rockets' new tactics improve rapidly, in fact, in the sixth game between the two sides, it has been obvious that the team's sense of position and proficiency on the court has been greatly improved.

Maddie got a chance, Yao Ming passed the ball out for the first time, and Maddie received the ball with a light pick-and-roll score.

Even if they are playing away, the Rockets' performance is not inferior.

The Spurs' offense, the same tactics, Ginobili vs. Millsap.

The serpentine breakthrough of the "Demon Knife" was still extremely sharp, but it looked a little weak at the moment of the layup, and the basketball slid out of the basket.

The Rockets won the rebound, and Blake stabilized his rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, continuing to give the ball to Yao Ming.

After a succession of cuts, Battier had a chance in the bottom corner and Yao Ming passed the ball out.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little shorter, and the basketball went out of the basket.

Duncan turned to grab it, but at the moment when he started, Yao Ming had already jumped up and grabbed the ball into his arms.

Grab the rebound and shoot again.

With a "bang", the basketball entered the frame steadily.

4 to 2.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Although the score is not much different, the momentum on the field has caused a wave of uneasiness among fans.
