With Ginobili taking the lead, the defense against Harden had a good effect, and the Rockets' offense was well contained, but the Spurs' own offense was also at a low point, so the two teams only ran back and forth, and did not see the score rise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the offense couldn't be opened in the third quarter, it was all a defensive battle, so the fans were also without passion, and Thunder Shui won 4 blocks before leaving the court in the third quarter, and there were 4 fouls at the same time.

The defensive battle lasted until the fourth quarter, and the two teams were still playing iron frequently, and the most anxious at this time was D'Antoni, after all, the Rockets were an offensive-oriented team, and they couldn't win without offense.

Now the shooting rate of both sides is very low, whoever can open the attack first can take the initiative, but after the third quarter, both sides have a clear understanding of the opponent's offensive routine, so at this time it depends on the play of the star player.

The Rockets first took Harden and Capela up, while the Spurs went to Ade first, and Harden immediately played a wonderful blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Capela after coming on the court, and Harden assisted Capela to dunk it.

The Spurs used Ade to play back, surrounded by the two of the Rockets, Ade forced a layup and missed, Harden took the rebound and went down, and Capela scored a fast layup with a long pass.

Ade can't make up for Capela in defense now, and the offense can't hit, and the old man Bobo is very anxious and immediately calls a timeout.

After the pause, the old man Bobo took the main force on the court, and the Rockets were all the main lineup, as soon as they came up, Leonard and Lei Shui broke through twice, disrupting the Rocket's defense, and letting Ade get the ball under the basket, in this position, Ade had a great advantage in the face of Capela's weight, Capela did not dare to act rashly, and Ade easily put it in.

As soon as the Spurs' offense was completed, the speed of the Rockets was difficult to play, and in the positional battle, the Spurs' height advantage had a great advantage, relying on the second offense to overtake the score.

At this time, the Rockets' interior offense was curbed, Harden decisively changed his offensive tactics, and after blocking and dismantling Capela, Capela went down to attract the Spurs to shrink the defense, and Harden passed the ball to Anderson, and Anderson hit a three-point shot.

The Spurs also responded, Thunder Water received Parker's pass and shot, and the Rockets were not finished, Harden's same routine was still feeding Anderson, although the Spurs had realized Anderson's this, Leonard had made up for the past, but Anderson still threw three points against the defense.

Lei Shui and Parker blocked and dismantled again, as soon as Lei Shui received the ball, the supplementary defense immediately came out, although Lei Shui was not afraid of the small man's supplementary defense, but what the old man Bobo wanted was a reasonable team basketball, at this time Adeke had a vacancy near the bottom line, Lei Shui immediately passed over, Ade had a vacancy and did not shoot to the basket, in the face of Ariza's supplementary defense, did not go to the confrontation, and actually played a lever, threw the ball up, and gave the rocket a counterattack.

Ade's ball made the old man Bobo shake his head frequently, a big man on the inside line is so afraid of physical confrontation, if this ball is strong, at least he can make a foul on the free throw line.

With Ade's bad performance, in the next offense, the Rockets deliberately let go of Ade to help defend others, and the best opportunity always came to Ade, but he didn't shoot well, that is, he had to rush to the basket, and he couldn't score.

And Harden likes to play this rhythm of taking rebounds and immediately counterattacking, and after Harden won another rebound and turned around to assist his teammates to make a layup, he scored a triple-double.

And the old man Bobo was very dissatisfied, and called a timeout again, this time specifically emphasizing Ade's offensive selection problem: "When you get the ball, either shoot in an empty position, or go to the basket to foul, don't avoid playing, don't be afraid of physical confrontation..."

Coming back from the timeout, Ade still missed an open shot.

At this time, the Spurs' defense was also tested, after all, after the Rockets' three-point shot, the defense must be expanded, and so that the protection under the basket becomes a problem.

At this time, the need for single defense ability is particularly important, the Spurs used Leonard to defend Harden alone, Harden knew Leonard's defensive ability, so he did not play head-on, but used cover to play, skillfully swapped people away, or ate Parker, forced the inside pass to Capela to cause a foul, Capela hit two free throws.

Seeing that Ade and Parker's defense had become a hole, Bobo took advantage of the free throws to replace Ade and Parker with Simmons and Ginobili as two guards, David Lee as center, and Thunderwater and Leonard as forwards.

In this way, Lei Shui suddenly got a good opportunity, and it was Anderson who was opposed, although Anderson always played the opponent's inside line and couldn't defend it, but he couldn't prevent it.

At this time, the old man Bobo looked at the time, there were still 3 and a half minutes, and then looked at the score, and he was still 5 points behind, and with a wave of his big hand, he offered another trick - the tactic of slashing people.

The target of the cut was Capela, who had the lowest free throw percentage of the Rockets, and just after halftime Harden, Simmons hugged him.

Capela usually doesn't allow free throws, but at this time he was suddenly cut and was very confused, and he was not prepared for a while, and he missed both free throws.

The Spurs won the rebound, Ginobili organized the offense, Lei Shui stepped forward to block Ginobili again, Ginobili broke through the back of his head and passed to Lei Shui, Lei Shui hit a three-point shot again, the difference was chased to 2 points, and the slashing tactic was successful.

D'Antoni didn't dare to be careless, and quickly called a timeout, replaced Capela with NN, who had a good free throw.

After all, NN is older, his mobility is not as good as Capela's, and he can't play Capela's air catch, so he and Harden's first blocking NN chose to shoot in the middle, but unfortunately missed.

Thunder Water took the rebound, went straight down, passed the ball to Simmons to make a foul, and made two free throws to tie the score.

Harden once again played a superb ability to touch porcelain at a critical moment, NN mentioned the three-point line to cover Harden, Harden covered is fake, making fouls is true, Ginobili wanted to follow the cover, how did he think that Harden suddenly stopped halfway through, Ginobili braked and hit Harden, Harden shot homeopathically, Ginobili reacted quickly, Harden knew that the foul was inevitable as soon as he stopped urgently, and pressed Harden's arm to prevent it from being 3+1.

Harden hit all three free throws, and Leonard also scored with his back to the single.

Harden continued to break through, Ginobili was also very experienced in dodging Harden's foul trap one by one, but at the same time dodging Harden burst in, Lei Shui immediately came back to assist in the defense, blocking Harden's breakthrough route, Ginobili immediately forced Harden, Harden was forced to rob by the two, I wanted to rely on Ginobili to force a foul, how could Ginobili, the old fritter dodge quickly, Harden together, bounced off like an electric shock, Harden was in the air, but in mid-air, he could only shoot, Lei Shui saw the opportunity and immediately sent a block!

The ball cap flew directly to Anderson, Anderson took the ball and made a shooting comparison, Lei Shui was too nervous, and immediately jumped over to block it, and was shaken, Anderson slammed forward and caused Lei Shui to foul, two free throws and two hits.

Lei Shui had already committed 5 fouls at this time, but considering that there was less than a minute left in the time, Old Man Bobo planned to let Lei Shui continue to play until the end, and at this time the Spurs were one point behind...

The Spurs attacked, and the last offense must be handed over to Leonard to play, the Rockets used Ariza to defend, and Leonard used his best back-to-back turn-over jumper to hit another point to overtake a point.

The Rockets missed the fast serve, the Spurs won the rebound, and with 36 seconds left, the Spurs began to control the time, playing for 24 seconds, and Leonard missed the final jumper.

The Rockets saw the opportunity to win, Harden advanced quickly, covered the substitutions nearby, and replaced Thunder Water to defend Harden, Harden won if he scored this goal, and lost if he didn't score, time was pressing, Harden had to come by himself, Thunder Water lowered his center of gravity and responded to Harden's breakthrough at any time.

Harden counted the time to attack, the last 6 seconds, feinted a step, strode back to the three-point line and started to shoot, Lei Shui reacted quickly, immediately stepped forward to block, with the height and bounce advantage to cover the ball with his fingertips, but the ball was blocked and fell back into Harden's hand, at this time Lei Shui landed and Harden was very close, Harden got the ball quickly and then compared, Lei Shui immediately jumped up again to block, Harden took the opportunity to lean up and shoot, the referee whistle sounded, the referee awarded a defensive foul, three free throws!
