After recovering their strong form in Game 2 and beating Spurs at home, the Rockets went to Alamo Arena, home of the Spurs, to prepare for Game 3 of their road trip.

After the Rockets lost the first game, they did their homework seriously, which was very obvious in the second game, the Spurs were suppressed in all directions, looking at the overall outbreak of the Rockets, ** Vicky was full of worries, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear of affecting the team's morale.

But this kind of inner torment still made Vicky age a lot in a few days.

On the other hand, after the Rockets won the second game, they obviously let go a lot, and the shadow of the loss in the first game has been thrown away by them.

The rocket, which is relieved to have a burden in its heart and a strengthened sense of overall combat, is even more invincible.

In the midst of the Rockets' ease and Vicky's anxiety, the third game between the Rockets and the Spurs began.

In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs could still rely on the home advantage to resist, and the Spurs' now strong defense has taken shape. Robinson echoed from afar, blocking the Rockets' blows to the Spurs' interior again and again.

The Rockets don't have much of a way to break the Spurs' defensive circle.

However, after the start of the second quarter, the Rockets replaced Bodi Roga, Ray? Allen, Saullius and Big Ben began to change the offensive system, and the sudden acceleration of the rocket caught the Spurs a little off guard, and there were few people who could quickly return to defense.

The Spurs were often beaten 2 by the Rockets in the backcourt, or 3 to 1, and after a few rounds, the Rockets had extended the score to 8 points.

Seeing this, Vicky hurriedly handed over the timeout and set it up.

** Vicky shouted loudly in the noisy environment of the scene: "Everyone immediately turned to defense at the end of the offense, and gave me up to interfere with their ball handler when the Rockets made their first pass, so that they could not effectively and quickly turn to the offense." After the interference, everyone began to quickly return to the defense, they only had 2 or 3 people under the fast attack, as long as we can quickly return to the defense, they can't afford to play the fast attack, you know. ”

The Spurs nodded, and seeing this, Vicky motioned for everyone to play.

After starting the game from the new game, the Spurs kept in mind the words of ** Vicky, and quickly turned into defense as soon as the offense ended, and the Rockets' powerful fast break was suppressed.

I really didn't expect it, but the rockets that fell into the positional battle were also able to play with ease, several peripheral marksmen, plus two rebounding monsters on the inside, the rocket's peripheral attack ability after falling into the positional battle was perfectly released.

Bodi Roga took advantage of his height advantage to throw in two three-pointers on Johnson's head in a row, so that the Spurs couldn't help but start wrapping him, but after the wrapping started, Bodi Roga's pass began to make them painful again.

Passing back to block people, otherwise the Spurs made an efficient rotation and made consecutive Rockets shots and three-pointers, and the game of the first half was over.

In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets stretched the score of the two sides to 15 points.

Such a strong attack ability made the Spurs a little unprepared, and the Spurs never expected that after suppressing the fast attack of the Rockets, the Rockets still relied on excellent outside attack power to expand the score little by little.

Such a result made the Spurs players very frustrated.

At halftime, ** Vic also made adjustments, asked the Spurs to expand the defensive range outward, began to defend the joint defense, and used the Spurs' relatively strong interior line to limit the Rockets' play at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

However, the effect worked well in the early stages of the second half, as the Spurs narrowed the score to seven points in the opening four minutes of the second half.

Such efficiency made Lao Tang's brows furrowed.

Standing on the sidelines of the court, he shouted loudly: "Deyang, pay attention to the rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm, the ball is faster than the person." ”

On the field, Bodi Roga nodded on the field to indicate that he knew. Then, continuing to direct the players on the rocket field, the offense began.

After a series of reverses on the outside, Big Ben pulled out on the inside, and suddenly an acceleration broke into the Spurs' interior defensive belt, David? Robinson hurriedly pasted it, he knew that this kid still had a certain lethality under the basket.

Bodi Roga's ball was still handed to Big Ben, Big Ben leaned hard a few times Robinson was ready to start making moves, Duncan, who was still defending on the inside, suddenly wanted to break the ball, then he knew that Big Ben was waiting for him to grab it, if he didn't grab it, Big Ben didn't know how to play the ball.

Duncan's grabbing left room for Garnett, Big Ben's ball was sent lightly to the middle, and it had quietly reached Garnett under the basket, jumping up after receiving the ball, his body suddenly became an afterburner, looking at the height of the air, his eyes were already level with the basket.

Garnett's body slammed the ball into the basket with one hand after a noticeable streak in the air.

Garnett, who hung on the basket with one hand, jumped down gently, and roared angrily in the sky, showing his arrogance and domineering.

The Rockets' dunk is a very classic small-scale cooperation on the inside, which requires a very high degree of tacit understanding.

Seeing such cooperation, Lao Tang also stood up on the sidelines and applauded.

This goal also greatly stabilized the situation on the field, and the score between the two sides hovered back and forth between 7-9 points.

But what everyone didn't notice was that the rocket didn't call a timeout.

However, Vicky knows that the Rockets have played almost two quarters with their young players.

Now the old guys off the field are probably almost rested.

Just when he was thinking about it, the rocket changed again, Malik? Rose was substituted.

This substitution made ** Vic somewhat understand what was going on.

**Vicky secretly gritted his teeth and thought: Rockets are using spurs as whetstones, you are not afraid that you will grind the knife.

But, Malik? Rose's play did not reduce the Rocket's attack power at all, and Rose's solid interior skills made Duncan, who was opposite him, feel that this person was very difficult to deal with.

The two sides spent the third quarter of the game in such a stalemate, and in the third quarter of the game, the Spurs also replaced the main players to rest in the final minutes.

This substitution made the Spurs' efforts in the third quarter useless, and in the final three minutes, the Rockets managed to turn the score into a 15-point difference again.

Let the ** vicky off the field want to cry without tears.

What kind of world is this, the Rockets have a bench lineup, so that the main force of the Spurs did not gnaw for two quarters, and finally put their physical strength into it.

Looking at his main player who was out of breath, Vicky knew that he had lost this game.

The loss was very complete, and there was no chance to fight back.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Rockets really sent the old man army of the Rockets to start stabilizing the rhythm on the court.

With a 15-point advantage in hand, the Rockets can see that they control the tempo, spend 24 seconds on each offense, and pursue the success rate of the offense.

In the final quarter of the game, the Spurs still wanted to launch a counterattack, but the old men of the Rockets used their own experience and experience to firmly grasp the situation on the court.

Time passed like this, and the Spurs' counterattack came to naught.

In front of the powerful control of the rocket. The Spurs finally conceded defeat and with three minutes left in the game, looking still a 15-point gap, the Spurs substituted a substitute.

The Rockets also brought on bench players, and both sides were waiting for the final moments of the game.

With the referee's whistle, Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and Rockets ended.

98:88 The Rockets defeated the Spurs on the road, changing the score of the two sides to 2:1.

The Rockets had six double-doubles in the whole game and played a rigorous overall offense.

On the other hand, the Spurs were limited by the Rockets' defense, David? Robinson had 14 points, Duncan had 13 and Barkley had just 16 points.

After the game, some people were the coach of the Spurs, why did the Spurs play so weakly in this game.

** Vicky replied: This is very normal, this is the real strength of the Rockets, in his personal opinion, now the strength of the Rockets is already the strongest existence in the league, as long as they do not make mistakes, then no team will be their opponent including the Bulls. The Bulls are very strong, Jordan is great, but now the Rockets have the strength to subvert them, and the Spurs can play their own style and characteristics, and then try to win the next game, it is the biggest victory.

The day after the race, Tiger saw the report in the newspaper.

Tiger pursed his lips after reading it, and said to Dawson: "Dawson, this ** Vicky is still playing psychological warfare, I don't know if this has no effect on us." ”

Dawson took the newspaper and looked at it and said with a smile: "Isn't this normal, there are many coaches who like to play this." The strength of the people is almost there, so let the family make some small moves. Tiger said very carelessly: "The Spurs are very strong now, but the strong is only the interior, they still need a real shooter now, like our Ray, Miller of the Pacers, and Steve of the Hawks?" Smith, the King's Richmond, such a pure shooter, with the addition of Barkley, they are a strong contender for the championship. The Spurs eliminated the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals, just because the Jazz only had one Malone on the inside, he didn't resist Robinson, Duncan and Barkley hit them repeatedly, but it was wrong to want the Rockets to hit them as Jazz, I didn't see who was sitting on the Rockets bench, and I wanted to blow us up on the inside, it was a dream. ”

Dawson nodded and said, "You're right, boss, now if the Spurs want to really enter the championship series, they have to add some real shooters to their perimeter, Johnson, Negro and Jr. Jackson are not people who can be relied on at critical times." ”

Tiger, who was watching Dawson speak from the side, suddenly smiled and said, "Dawson, we are not the owner and general manager of the Spurs, what are we in a hurry to do." After speaking, he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Dawson was also stunned and said, "Yes, what is the use of this, we are the boss and general manager of the rocket." ”

At this time, Tiger got up from his chair and said, "Dawson, in fact, with our strength, we can completely ignore what others think, and nothing can stop us now." ”

Dawson stood up with the teacup and said proudly: "You're right, boss, nothing can stop us." ”

The two looked at each other, then laughed at the same time.
