"David, what are you doing?" When the game between the two teams officially began, Popovich yelled at David Robinson in the court.

The game between the Spurs and the Rockets has always been the focus of the league, and without him, the showdown between the four centers is enough to attract attention whenever and where, although now three of the four centers are dying. It's just that what has always embarrassed the Spurs is that since entering the league, David Robinson has basically been hung up as long as he meets Olajuwon, and the other two of the four centers, Patrick Ewing and David Robinson have similar playing styles, but David Robinson is better than Patrick in all aspects, and O'Neal is physically gifted and younger, but David Robinson can also rely on the diversity of game experience and offensive means to play a difficult role with O'Neal, who has just entered the league. But only when he met Olajuwon, David Robinson was restrained to death, his physical talent was not as good as Olajuwon, and his skills were not as good as Olajuwon, and he was even shadowed by Olajuwon for more than 10 consecutive years against David Robinson, and even according to Rodman, before the 9495 playoff Spurs vs. Rockets series, David Robinson trembled in the locker room before the game, and David Robinson was not unexpectedly beaten by Olajuwon in that series.

After the start of this game, Olajuwon seemed to be in good shape, beating Tim Duncan to win the ball for the Rockets when jumping the ball, and then hit David Robinson inside for two consecutive rounds. Although since Tim Duncan joined the team, the Spurs have gradually reversed their previous slight trend against the Rockets, but this dunk is like a key, once again opening the lock in David Robinson's heart, David Robinson seems to recall the fear of being dominated by Olajuwon in the past, and the past of being beaten and cried by Olajuwon in the series is vivid. After Olajuwon received the ball again on the inside, David Robinson hesitated and did not post it to defend Olajuwon at the first time.

"Hey, big man, they say you're good defensively, so let me put you to the test in this game." Just when Meng Xu was above the free throw line, clinging to Walter Williams, the small forward of the Rockets, Francis took the initiative to find Meng Xu.

According to the unspoken rules of the NBA, the first few offenses at the beginning are to be completed by the team's boss or boss in person, and now this rocket, Francis obviously can't be called a big guy, the opening three offenses, Francis dribbled over half the court, handed the basketball to Olajuwon or Barkley, and then went to run without the ball and tore the Spurs' defense. In contrast, Meng Xu is much more hungry, he didn't even touch the basketball after playing for 2 minutes, and Walter Williams, who defended himself, was also a master who couldn't touch the basketball, and most of the time the two were sitting in a useless switchback run, although Popovich's tactical arrangement before the game required Meng Xu to help defend Francis, but Francie didn't have a basketball in his hand, and Meng Xu couldn't leave his defensive object to defend Francis, but now it's different, Francis actually took the initiative to switch positions with Walter Williams, Faced Meng Xu.

"The last person who told me that was still lying in the hospital." As soon as Meng Xu finished speaking, he laughed, if he let Sean Elliott hear it, I don't know if he would beat himself up.

"Boy, you'll find out later, you'll have to suffer when the time comes." Hearing Meng Xu's taunt, Francis rolled his eyes angrily.

However, looking at Francis, who is half a head lower than himself, Meng Xu still admires his courage or self-confidence, after gaining weight, Meng Xu's weight is obviously a little larger than Francis, in this case, Francis still dares to take the initiative to find himself, whether it is courage or arrogance, anyway, Meng Xu thinks that he does not have the courage to go against Olajuwon, although Olajuwon is already very old, and he is no longer at the peak.

"This game is really intense, the tactics of both teams are very clear, that is, to play inside, Olajuwon is very excited in this game, the opening few attacks are completed by him personally, the same is true of Tim Duncan of the Spurs, as long as Olajuwon scores a goal, Tim Duncan has to find a way to fight back, and the score of the two teams is completely bitten."

Although the tactics of both teams are positional battles to play inside, but the success rate is indeed outrageously low, the opening 4 minutes, the two teams played 7 rounds, the score is 4:4, most of the offensive results are ended in iron, the defense of these two teams is simply too good, or the two teams are too familiar with each other, the opponent's tactics, offensive and defensive characteristics, for their own side is completely new.

However, for the current situation on the court, Popovich is indeed quite satisfied, except for David Robinson, who will change as long as he meets Olajuwon, everything else is very in line with the requirements of his heart, the slow pace of the game, the suffocating defense, including the incessant sound of iron on the field, for Popovich, everything is like a wonderful concert, pleasant. No matter which team it is, as long as you give up your tactics, give up the rhythm of the game you are familiar with, and be dragged into your own rhythm of the game by the Spurs, then the final result will definitely be self-evident.

Perhaps because of the decline in physical strength, Olajuwon stopped playing inside and began to cooperate with Barkley and others, and David Robinson was also relieved to see that Olajuwon no longer beat himself.

This attack was finally Francis' turn to control the ball, and the tactics arranged by the head coach before the game were to have Olajuwon and Barkley play inside first, kill David Robinson and Tim Duncan, and if Olajuwon couldn't open the situation, Francis would attack with the ball on the outside.

After more than 4 points in the game, Meng Xu finally ushered in the first confrontation with Francis, after Francis appeared outside the 3-point line with the ball, Meng Xu appeared in front of Francis half a step in front of him, with his arms outstretched, staring closely at the basketball under Francis, ready to block his dribble route. Since Meng Xu defended Iverson in the first game, Meng Xu, who has two A-level defensive skills, even if he can predict Iverson's breakthrough and dribbling route in advance, there is still no way to steal Iverson, and even after giving Iverson a lot of meat, Meng Xu found little Loriana and carefully asked the reason, Anna told Meng Xu that although the sixth sense is strong, this skill is not invincible, because the top guards in the league have the talent of ball control. The sixth sense can predict their dribbling route and trajectory, and they can also detect some of the actions of the defensive players, plus Meng Xu's steal attributes and judgment attributes are not too high, which will also bring some problems such as slow steal rate, which is why Meng Xu did not even have a successful steal in the face of steal Iverson, and if the defensive object is those forward players, or guards who have no point control talent, it is easier to steal. Whether Francis has this kind of talent, Meng Xu doesn't know, maybe he was a little embarrassed by Iverson, or maybe it was the pressure of the system task, this time in the face of Francis, Meng Xu seemed very cautious, and did not rush forward to try to break the ball.

Seeing that Francis was entangled by Meng Xu, and the team's small forward Walter Williams wanted to cover for him, Francis waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need his help, and he wanted to have a one-on-one heads-up with Meng Xu.
