The Spurs pulled away and handed Duncan a 45-degree angle to the left side to play one, Hayes defended alone, Duncan received the ball and took it twice to the left, turned to the right side and made a jumper to score. Hayes clinged tightly, but the cap was still a little slower. 0 to 2.

Duncan's stunt didn't get enough attention from the Rockets.

Fisher dribbled the ball across the front court and passed to Battier, Maddie put on a "take the ball" posture early, Battier executed the tactics and passed to Maddy, and the careless crossing was stealed by Ginobili, who quickly hit the front court to complete the one-arm dunk, 0-4.

The ball was like giving the Rockets a dismount. Maddie chose to play by himself after receiving the ball, this time he didn't wait for Hayes to block and dismantle, and he singled Ginobili with the ball, but under the joint interference of Ginobili and Finley, Maddy missed the jump shot and Oberto won the rebound.

"Tracy, there's no need to fight with him, play more open spaces as usual, you calm down." Hayes said as he returned to the defense and said beside Maddie.

Sometimes, Maddie's laziness makes him unbearable. In this crucial game, he couldn't help but remind, but Maddie rolled his eyes.

Seeing Maddie's expression, it was as if he was saying to Hayes, "How old are you". Hayes yelled and had a headache. Since winning the MVP, Maddie feels that she has far surpassed Kobe Bryant and James and chased Jordan.

When the MVP award was announced, Maddie was interviewed, and a reporter mentioned that his scoring was reduced compared to when he was in the Magic, and Maddie immediately said that he was back to his best condition, and if he wanted to, he could win the scoring title, but it was just a problem with the Rockets' offensive system, and sharing the ball was more important.

After the results interview, Maddy showed his scoring prowess against the Suns. After that, it was out of control and returned to the scoring champion mode. During the Magic period, Maddie scored unlimited shots, but teammates couldn't. Now that he has a bunch of cattle around him, it's not a good thing to do it again.

As the Spurs pulled apart again at halftime, Duncan dominated the PK with Hayes today, this time with the ball to the middle and turned around and hit a hook shot. 0 to 6.

In terms of height, there is a big gap between Hayes and Duncan. He played against a lot of big men in the regular season, specializing in all kinds of dissatisfaction. Including a 218cm high school striker like Chakalidis, he can't bargain for anything in front of him. Duncan, on the other hand, is a man of skill, strength and height.

Hayes was always beaten by the same kind of guy in the regular season, a 7-foot-long man who had the skills and could shoot from the outside. Nowitzki, Garnett, Duncan, Stoudamire and even Zach Randolph of the Trail Blazers will struggle defensively.

The Rockets also finally "opened", Maddie handed it to Yao Ming, who saw the timing after dribbling and passed back to Maddie who cut in the middle, this time Maddie did not miss another opportunity and hit a layup. 2 to 6.

The Spurs attacked, and they were ready to use the baseline cross cover to provide Duncan with a chance to go deep into the basket, but this time Hayes did not top Duncan, and blocked before going around, so that even if the Spurs could reverse to Duncan, Yao Ming could also prepare to assist behind him. This defense prevented the Spurs' tactics from executing, and Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili receives the ball and starts immediately. He shook to the left, and after Battier subconsciously moved, he used his right foot to step out from the right. He moved fast, like a snake, passing through the gap between Battier and Maddie.

Battier immediately stuck to it, and in some haste, Ginobili pulled half of his body away from him. It's just half a body, Battier can keep up, Ginobili jumped, Battier's reaction was also very fast, followed by the jump, and his right hand to the Shaolin abbot after Ji 80. 2 to 8.

Then the two teams began to fight defensively, and neither side felt very good. No points for several rounds in a row.

The worst performance for the Rockets was Maddy, who shot 1-of-5 in 4 minutes. After last season's injury, Maddie has rarely used his physical condition and technical characteristics to break through the interior barrier, which is very starry in terms of statistics. This season, Bryant averaged 7.6 attempts per game, and Maddy only 2.8, nearly 5 fewer than Bryant, so it's not hard to see why Bryant is shooting more from the field than Maddy.

Maddy's characteristics are obviously on the soft side, he is very smart, he will judge the opponent's defensive center of gravity well, and he will also seize the most reasonable moment to shoot. When he shoots, most of the defenders watch how the ball floats into the basket, and Kobe Bryant has many times been interfered with by the defenders with slaps, and Maddie is stronger than Kobe in this regard. Unfortunately, Maddie is not as accurate as Kobe Bryant, and often incarnates as the Iron King.

Another defensive rebound was picked up by the Spurs. Hayes clearly sensed that Duncan's momentum was different. In the regular season, he tried to play as well as possible without getting injured, and his performance was not particularly tough. But Duncan, who made the playoffs, worked hard. He would use his body to resist Hayes to the death, no matter how hard Hayes tried, he would not take half a step back.

Ginobili received the ball, borrowed Duncan to block it, got to the three-point line, and took the first step with the ball. He leaned down and stepped out to the left, making everyone think he seemed to be breaking through from the left.

Battier took an important step to the right, putting his weight all on the right to block Ginobili's path.

Prevented! Just as Battier thought so, Ginobili took a second step, disguised again, and his body suddenly tilted to the right, and the body momentum to the left just now was completely canceled out by the slam of his body. It's a serpentine breakthrough again, it's not a snake anymore, Ginobili's waist is as soft as a noodle.

While everyone was amazed by the flexibility of Ginobili's waist, Ginobili and Battier passed by, held up the ball with their left hand, dodged Yao Ming's block, and gently picked up the basket! The basketball grazed off the rebound and landed in the basket. 2 to 10.

The Spurs got out of the predicament first, which was bad for the Rockets.

Jeff Van Gundy asked for a timeout.

During the pause, commentator Drexler said, "There are two powerful snakes in this league, one is the black mamba Kobe and the other is the white mamba (what's this?). Is there such a variety? Manu Ginobili. I sometimes feel that Manu is stronger than Kobe. Every time Kobe Bryant faced Manu, he took the initiative to ask for the ball and beat Manu alone, of course, in most cases, Kobe Bryant would come up with what he should have or even an extraordinary level. When defending, Kobe Bryant's defensive attitude is no different from that of Wade. But I think it's a form of respect. ”

Matt Bullard said: "I agree with you, Manu didn't make the All-Star this year, and I really don't know how the All-Star was chosen. Kobe Bryant has said before that the person he can think of who is better at breaking through the league than Wade is Ginobili. His breakthrough is unique, sometimes the movements seem uncoordinated, and if anyone wants to practice the same breakthrough as him, they must first have a soft waist like his. ”

While the commentators were raving about Ginobili, Van Gundy was getting angry. "What's wrong with your defense? Sean (Battier), stop letting Ginobili be arrogant and get some spirits. Tracy, you have to be ready to make up for it. The offense has to pull the formation apart. Tracy, you don't drill into the crowd anymore, attract the defense, the ball is going to be passed! Chuck, offense and Sean switch positions, pull to the perimeter to play, if Duncan doesn't come out, the opponent is Finley, it should be easy, right? ”

"No problem." Hayes said that he was running back and forth in this game and had not yet made a shot.

** Vicky said: "Manu just played beautifully, Tim did the blocking, and just broke down their defense. Tony (Parker) also had to strengthen the break, and Fisher was slow to move on his feet. ”

At the end of the timeout, Hayes' size advantage at the No. 3 position was exploited by the Rockets. He was stronger than Finley who defended him in terms of speed and strength, and he broke through in disguise after hitting the ball, squeezing Finley into the interior line, and Duncan helped defend it. Hayes, who was trapped, immediately distributed the ball to Battier, who was left unattended. It's a pity that Battier didn't feel good today, and the open three-pointer was missed.

Could it be that the Spurs champion is so lucky, why can't he play today? Hayes helplessly returned to the defense, the rebound was picked up by Oberto, the Spurs played a fast break, and Ginobili and Parker went down quickly.

Ginobili once again singled out Battier with his speed. As long as you rush up, it will be difficult for your opponent to stop Ginobili's pace! He jumped up and scored in the air for a hand-to-hand basketball, which also caused a foul on Battier. 2 to 12. The Rockets trailed by 10 points in the first quarter.

Batil wanted to pull Ginobili up in a friendly way, but Ginobili, who fell to the ground, stretched out his fingers and made an arrogant gesture towards Batil, as if to demonstrate to Batil.

I'm rubbing, you still dare to stretch out your fingers and play cool? Battier is an honest man who doesn't speak, but Hayes can't stand it. He walked up to Battier and shouted, "Sean, can you stop paying attention to other people's hair?" He used the overlord bald water, and the baldness became Zidane's kind of 'Mediterranean', what does it matter to you? Concentrate when defending! ”

Battier was speechless. Hayes's voice was loud, and Ginobili, who was about to make a free throw, suddenly froze and even his waist stiffened. When he first debuted, he was most satisfied with his long hair, but this year I don't know what's going on, his hair is getting thinner and thinner, and it's useless to use a lot of hair care supplies. Hayes said "Mediterranean", Ginobiliga missed the penalty, the ball was deflected a lot, and he almost threw the ball in Hayes's face.

Hayes took the rebound and said to himself: Don't you like to be cool? Today, I'm going to talk about your hair, see if you're still cool.
