In the opening game, Yao Ming hit two irons in a row from mid-range, and Duncan did a good job of defending him.

Because Yao Ming was dumb, the Rocket's offense couldn't be opened, and the game turned into a defensive battle.

The score of the half-quarter game was 4:6, the Rockets scored 4 points, Yao Ming 2 points, Gary Payton 2 points, Spurs 6 points, Duncan 4 points, and Tony Parker 2 points.

Then, the game went into an official timeout.

After a pause, Qiao Hai studied the Spurs' defensive position for a while, and finally found a problem with the Spurs.

He made the first substitution: "Jamal (Crawford), you go up, replace Gary, Boris, you go up too, go and replace Chris." ”

Qiao Hai was also ruthless, and Chris Anderson was replaced, which means that he wants to attack to the end, and all the way to the black.

Boris Dior came on the court, naturally to improve the team's offense, and Qiao Hai quickly made adjustments and arrangements for the Rockets' offense.

And Jamal Crawford replaced Gary Payton, on the one hand, to prepare for the rotation lineup in the second quarter, and on the other hand, to speed up more thoroughly, after all, Qiao Hai replaced a young man with full physical energy and fast speed.

"Yao, after the timeout, you continue to take the ball high and play alone, but don't force the shot, your task is to attract the defense and then try to distribute the ball to the weak side."

"Jamal, Dwayne, Ron, you go ahead and cut in the air, but after the cut, your focus is near the middle distance, don't go inside, don't go outside, look for opportunities near the middle distance."

"Boris, you go to the low post on the strong side, close to the three-point line, if Yao can't find a pass object, he can pass it to you first, and then you do the transfer station of the ball, and then divide it out and distribute it to the weak side."

The reason for this adjustment is that he sees Duncan defending Yao Ming, and the Spurs' joint defense system is missing a top assistant defender who sweeps the mid-range.

Qiao Hai is now going to take advantage of this and break through the middle distance of the spurs.

……

The game restarted, and the Rockets began to implement Qiao Hai's latest adjustments.

In the first shot of the opening game, Yao Ming took the ball from mid-range, Duncan had to post it, and then, Yao Ming feintmed, Wade cut over, entered the penalty area, and then ran back to the left three-point line.

Yao Ming passed, Wade received the ball and took a step inside, forcing the Spurs to further assist in the defense.

Then, Wade passed the ball to the weak side and gave it to Jamal Crawford.

Without Duncan's supplemental defense, one-on-one attack, Jamal Crawford shook out a space, shot in the middle, and smacked! Ball in!

6:6 draw, this wave of Rockets' offense played very smoothly.

Then, the Spurs' offense, Manuginobili was already on the scene, but at the same time, Tony Parker was also replaced off the floor.

Manu's individual attack is stronger, but he will have to face the defense of Ron Artest.

It is enough to say a little about how strong Ron Artest's defense is at this time, Ron Artest at this time in his previous life, he is the best defensive player!

However, in this life, because the Rockets focus on offense, Artay's personal defensive data is not bad, but the team's defensive data is really not advantageous, and in this life, Artai should not be able to win the best defensive player.

In the face of Atay's defense, Manu didn't find too good an opportunity, he chose to make a strong throw himself, bang, no goal.

The Rockets grabbed the rebound, countered unsuccessfully, and continued to press the position.

Yao Ming took the ball again in the middle distance, this time, it was still the same style of play, Yao Ming attracted Duncan's defense, and then the ball was divided into weak sides.

Duncan has been pulled away by Yao Ming, Wade on the weak side singled, and after a strong burst, he entered the restricted area and made a layup!

The Rockets scored four straight points, and Popovich sensed something was wrong, standing up, his expression serious, and constantly communicating something with Mike Budenholzer next to him.

Spurs' offense, this time, Manu gave the ball to Duncan.

Duncan needs to face not Chris Anderson anymore, but Boris Dio.

Boris Dio's defense was average, he struggled a little against Duncan, and was easily found to have a chance, and then, he was directly eaten by Duncan.

Duncan scored 2 points on a layup and the Spurs scored.

Then, the Rockets' offense, Yao Ming continued to take the ball from mid-distance, and Duncan posted it again.

The ball went to the weak side again, this time through Boris Dio's hand, and then Wade hit another mid-range shot.

The three balls look different, but from the way they start to the way they shoot, they play the same way, but the Spurs just can't solve this.

After the Rockets scored in a row, Qiao Hai turned his head to look at the other side.

Popovich was already sitting back and holding a tactical board in his hand, and Qiao Hai knew that his change of formation had succeeded.

Not only did it succeed, but Popovich seemed to be struggling to find a solution.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Rockets beat the Spurs 21-13, and then at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Spurs by 6 points at 25-19.

On the commentary bench, McBrin also saw the Rocket's style of play, because the Rockets played very singlely, and everyone could see it.

"In the second half of the first quarter, the Rockets turned on their offense, scoring 21 points in the first quarter, and their offense was already fully opened!"

"Their offensive play is very simple, that is, Yao Ming attracts the defense, and then the ball is passed to the weak side, and the wing player on the weak side takes the ball and plays alone, and then scores."

"No matter how you play this trick, Greg Popovich seems to have nothing to do."

……

In fact, there are solutions, and in the second quarter, Popovich tried his method.

After the rotation lineup played half a quarter, the Rockets once again took a double-digit lead, and after the two teams returned to the main line, Duncan and Yao Ming reappeared.

Popovich made a change, he re-freed Duncan, replaced Tyshawn Prince to defend Yao Ming, and then let Duncan sweep the mid-range to help the defense.

With such an adjustment, the Rocket's mid-range offense was choked.

But Qiao Hai also reacted quickly, and he made adjustments to let Yao Ming take the ball and play alone.

The official height is 2.06 meters, and the actual height is only about 2.03 meters, and he is 23cm shorter than Yao Ming.

Then, Popovich used Rasione Estrovic to defend Yao Ming.

Qiao Hai responded again, he replaced Wade and Ron Artest, set up multiple covers, and stormed the penalty area.

The Spurs' restricted area had no handle, and it was instantly burst into a sieve by several outside attackers of the Rockets.

……

After halftime, the Rockets led the Spurs by 14 points at 56-42.

Then in the second half, the Spurs still couldn't solve Yao Ming's point, Yao Ming broke out completely, and in the second half, the Rockets further extended their lead.

In the end, the Rockets won 113-87 again.

In this game, the Rockets seem to win more easily than the previous game!
