This is not the end, if it is only to score 5 points in a row, it is not an "unspoken rule". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Immediately after, the Rockets attacked, Harrell missed a mid-range shot, and the rebound was grabbed by Dedmon.
Mills controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, and the moment Dedmon pulled out to cover for him, Mills instantly bypassed Gordon.
Then the open three-point shot!
"Huh"
Again!
Mills felt very good in this game, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and when Mills hit this three-pointer, the difference between the two teams also expanded to 14 points!
"In just two minutes of the opening game, the Spurs beat the Rockets to 8:2, expanding the score to 14 points in an instant"
D'Antoni decisively called a timeout, he could no longer remain indifferent, otherwise the score might continue to expand, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Spurs were already on the rise at this time.
"Erik, you have to keep the balance off-duty and defensive, look at those two three-pointers that the Australian just shot, it was very easy, it was caused by your slack on the defensive end, you have to put more pressure on the opponent's defense......"
D'Antoni's rants during the timeout can be heard very clearly, and he is very unhappy with Eric Gordon's performance during this period.
D'Antoni is a strong advocate of "bombardment", but that doesn't mean he doesn't emphasize defence.
Especially when encountering a team with a balanced offense and defense like the Spurs, once the Rockets can't open the situation on the offensive end, then at this time, if you even give up defense, it means that you will be blown up in both offensive and defensive stages.
After the timeout, both sides made personnel changes, with Ariza replacing Harrell on the Rockets' side and Ade replacing David Lee on the Spurs' side.
After Ariza came up, plus Gordon was just scolded by D'Antoni, the Rockets' performance on the defensive end has indeed improved to a certain extent.
The most obvious result was that the Spurs did not score in the next few rounds, and the Rockets took the opportunity to narrow the gap to 10 points.
Naturally, Popovich would not watch the score advantage that was not easy to expand and gradually be eaten away by the opponent, so he immediately responded.
Leonard, Tony Parker and Gasol are back on the field.
Jin Feng played a long time in the first quarter, so Popovich did not let him make a substitution this time.
After Leonard and them played, Harden and others on the Rockets' side also returned to the court, unlike the Spurs, who left Jin Feng as a starter, the Rockets' five starters were all on the court.
In this game, Parker's condition did not look very good, whether it was organizing the offense or shooting, the performance was not satisfactory.
Therefore, in the face of the iron-blooded defense of "Black Bey", Parker seemed a little powerless.
The team's offensive engine was limited, which also made the Spurs struggle on the offensive end for a while.
On the Rockets' side, Harden first hit a three-pointer directly, and then assisted Beverley to complete an open three-pointer in the bottom left corner.
The advantage of 10 points turned into 4 points in an instant.
"Tony, you fucking use your brains, can you fight?"
The old man's face was extremely gloomy, and he yelled directly at Parker on the field.
To say that the "little sports car" is also "unlucky" enough, at such an old age, Popovich got angry or scolded directly, showing no mercy at all.
Among the "GDP portfolio", Parker was scolded the worst by Popovich. Parker, who was scolded, smiled wryly, what could he do?
In other words, he is used to it, Popovich has scolded him not once or twice, he is not in good shape, he failed to perform as he should, and he deserves to be scolded!
……………
Parker is not in good shape and can't play, so someone has to step up, otherwise the score will be overtaken in minutes.
At this time, who stood up?
Naturally, it was the team leader Leonard, who barely attacked in the first quarter, and stood up at this time.
He hit a two-pointer from the free throw line and then used his biggest killer on the defensive end ~ Death Entanglement to snatch the basketball straight from Ariza's hands. Then he completed a dragon dunk to help the Spurs stabilize the situation and extend the score to 8 points.
Then, the second leader of the team, Ade, who is known as "eating and sleeping and playing rockets", also stood up.
Leonard passed him four balls in a row, and he hit a straight four, and in just over a minute, the Spurs led again by more than ten points.
53:37!
With such a big point difference, D'Antoni had to call a timeout again, and everyone understood that this timeout was important for the Rockets.
If the Rockets can't make a significant change after this timeout and narrow the score, then the game may be doomed by now.
"Tony, what's wrong, there's something wrong with your body?"
During the timeout, head assistant coach Messina asked if he had observed that Parker's speed during the offense did not seem to be able to get up, and that the sulfuric acid was now an "old sports car", but this was definitely not Parker's normal speed.
"The right calf muscle is a little sore, so it shouldn't be a problem," Parker replied.
Sure enough, Parker's body did have a problem, which was not his normal state.
"So, then, Tony, just to be on the safe side, you won't play the rest of this game" Popovich glanced back at Parker and made his decision.
"Jin, you replace Tony"
Jin Feng appeared again.
As soon as the timeout came back, Jin Feng faced Beverley on the offensive end.
To be honest, Beverley was very reluctant to face Jin Feng at this time, he was still praying just now that Popovich had better not let Jin Feng play, but it backfired.
Beverley's reluctance was justified, as Jin Feng did put a lot of pressure on him on the defensive end.
No, when Jin Feng faced him, it was almost difficult for him to have a chance to receive the ball.
However, the Rockets' offense was still successful, and at the critical moment, Harden also opened his "trick skill", that is, "touching porcelain"!
He drew a foul on Gasol's shooting on the offensive end and made both free throws to cut the score to 14 points.
"James Harden stepped up, and if the Rockets can narrow the score beyond 10 points, the Rockets' difficult situation will be eased"
On the sidelines, a commentator commented.
However, before his words fell, he was slapped in the face.
Soon on the offensive end, Jin Feng assisted Gasol to score 2+1 and expand the score to 17 points, and then Mills stole Harden's pass and assisted Leonard to complete the chase for three points.
And immediately afterwards, Jin Feng gave the Rockets a "worse situation", and after slapping Ariza's layup, he made a fast layup!
61:39! A huge difference of 22 points!
And in the second quarter of the game, there were only 56 seconds left!
