After the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued their third quarter play.

A group of tall shooters, with the addition of two energetic interior lines, the Spurs played very hard.

Even if David Robinson is on the court again, the Rockets still stick to their style of play.

Horry was once again ravaged until the break.

Once again, Saulius was pushed down to the front line against Barkley.

Although, Horry is gone, but the power of the three-pole musket on the outside of the rocket has not diminished.

Saullius, who was completely blown out by Barkley on the defensive end, found his place on the offensive end, and that deeply European-style style of play complemented Bodiroga and Ray Allen on the outside.

The smooth coordination of the three quickly tore through the Spurs' outside defense.

Fast rotation transitions, accurate three-point shots, and dexterous off-ball air cuts.

The elegant and fast style of the three people can be seen at a glance.

The Spurs are also under the tandem of Barkley, and they are also playing on the inside.

If you don't care about Barkley, people will score by themselves, but they can't shoot, and their three powerful interior lines are arched in the restricted area, which makes the Rockets very uncomfortable.

The situation on the field is so scorching.

So the Rockets fans present were scared.

Since the start of the season, the Rockets haven't faced a game like this.

Nervous, depressed, unable to predict the outcome of the game.

All of this is happening at the Compaq Centre Arena.

Spurs take a timeout.

Looking at David Robinson and Barkley, whose wheezing is getting heavier and heavier, Vicky is also helpless.

After all, I don't have a good substitute in my hands.

As for these people under his own hands, it is for nothing to go up.

Looking at the three bench players of the Rockets, they blew up their outside line.

What can be done.

It can only be repaired by himself, the tinkerer.

Looking at the strong overall strength of the Rockets, the Spurs' players are also depressed.

On the other hand, the Rockets, due to the excellent shooting rate of their outside guns, have gradually pulled the score back.

95：92

With five minutes remaining, the Rockets finally pulled the score back.

"Okay, everyone did a good job, we finally got the score back, in the last 5 minutes Spurs will launch a strong counterattack, they will definitely increase the defense on the outside, so, Ray, Dejan, Sboga, you three must be fast in the outside pass has been shot, don't give the opponent a chance to block. On the inside, Hakim and Kevin, you must resist, Hakim, you have already committed 4 fouls, be careful, Kevin is the same, you also have 4 fouls, when the opponent forcibly attacks the inside, Dejan and Sboga give me to help defend the inside, don't be afraid of confrontation, Sboga, you have committed 5 fouls, but I won't let you down, you still have a chance, go, guys, the Spurs have started to bow to you. "Lao Tang made the final pre-war arrangements for his players.

At this time, ** Vicky is also making arrangements.

"Boys, the Rockets are a strong team, their strength is obvious to all, but we are also a strong team, if we want to become a championship team, we must step on the corpse of the Rockets, in the last few minutes, the outside defense must be strengthened, you are all old players, have you forgotten how to interrupt the opponent's shooting touch, do you still want me to teach you. Be heavier when you start, don't give them a chance to add penalties, you know? Vicky looked around at his players.

"Got it."

The voices of the Spurs were low.

After the twins finished their tactics, the Spurs players launched a frantic siege of the Rockets' perimeter players.

Ray Allen was slapped to the ground by Del Negro.

Seeing this, Garnett rushed forward with red eyes, and was hugged by Big Dream.

Turning over, Bodi Roga elbowed Duncan in the eye.

For a minute, the whistle blew frequently.

After the referee called the captain of the double engine together to warn.

The anger of both sides was forcefully suppressed.

There are 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the clock.

Rocket 98: 95

Continue to lead by 3 points.

The two sides did not score a point for nearly 2 minutes, which shows the strength of the defense.

In this final moment, the Spurs began to exert their strength.

First of all, Barkley, who faced Saulius with physical advantages.

Pouting his big ass all the way to the basket, as soon as he saw his attack distance, Barkley leaned on Saullius to get up and dunk.

It's a pity that Saulus didn't give him a chance at all, and a hitter fanned the ball out.

Looking at Saulius, who had already committed six fouls and was about to leave, Barkley stepped forward and said to Saulius: "Man, you are very good, compared to other European noodles, you are really tough, I wish you luck." Then he patted Saullius on the ass and prepared for his own free throw.

Saulus, who was a little heavy on his feet, was replaced by Horry.

On the bench, Drexler handed him a bottle of water.

And he said to him: "Sboga, you did a great job, you proved that you are a good defender. ”

"Thank you, Clyde, but Barkley is Barkley, and I really can't deal with him." Saulius said to Drexler after taking a hard sip of water.

"Hehe, boy, you have to know that defense is not your business alone, defense needs a team to help each other." Drexler smiled at Saulius.

Hearing this, Saurus nodded slightly, and then watched the game intently.

Looking at the somewhat silent Saulus Drexler, he smiled and set his eyes on the arena.

With three minutes left in the game, Spurs had narrowed the score to one point.

Although Saullius was sent off, Horry, who was replaced, is also an old fritter who has been in the NBA for several years and has two championship rings.

And Horry's arrival on the court raised the height of the Rockets' interior line by one section.

And put a lot of pressure on Barkley on the defensive end, so that Barkley can't attack as much as he wants.

After all, a 10-centimeter gap is not so easy to overcome.

Spurs attack.

David Robinson singles the big dream.

Robinson took a stride, then slammed it back, jumped up and missed.

Horry, Bodi Roga and Garnett, the three of them were all crammed into the inside line, stuck in position.

Keeping Barkley and Duncan out.

The ball was grabbed by Bodi Roga.

And on the outside, Ray Allen has already started to start fast.

Two strides near the midline.

Bodi Roga's ball was pinpointed for Ray Allen.

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen dodged the wall on the wall in disguise del Negro.

Two steps to the opponent's three-point line.

Johnson, who caught up, was already standing on the opponent's assault channel.

But Ray Allen didn't rush to the basket, and stopped directly outside the three-point line, which was a jumper.

The basketball squeezed into the basket with ease.

Very accurate.

Ray Allen, who scored the goal, just smiled and waved his fist.

101：97

The Rockets already have a four-point advantage.

Rockets attacked again.

The ball went into the hands of the inside big dream, the big dream did not stop the ball, a diagonal pass to Horry's hand, Barkley stared at Horry calmly, he also knew the power of this kid.

Horry didn't stop either, and directly handed the ball to Ray Allen, who cut off the ball.

Del Negro and Duncan are ready to flank the shot.

Unfortunately, Ray Allen still passed the ball.

A high pass and the ball went back into the hands of Bodi Roga.

When there were no other assistant defenders around, he faced Johnson, who was only 1.80 meters.

Bodillo stepped up and hit a three-point shot.

104：99

The Rockets pulled the score away again.

There is 1 minute left in the time.

Spurs serve quickly, Johnson passes through the half court at high speed.

Seeing that Barkley had followed up, a beautiful ground-hitting pass.

Barkley, who got the ball comfortably, stepped into the free throw line with two next steps and jumped with a one-handed slam dunk.

104：101

Spurs were able to catch up again.

Rocket offensive.

The Rockets unhurriedly put the ball and advanced it to the opponent's half.

Bodiroga gestured, and Garnett quickly ran out of the line to cover.

Taking advantage of the cover, Bodi Roga burst into the paint area with one big stride.

David Robinson, who was always on the inside, and Duncan, who was chasing after him, severely limited Bodi Roga's passing and offensive vision.

But Bodi Roga is Bodi Roga, and as early as when he broke through, he had already seen Horry fall to the bottom corner.

Bodiroga flicked one arm, and the basketball passed through the cracks.

Horry caught the ball steadily, and shot directly without making adjustments.

Because Barkley, who had already found out that it was bad, was lunging at him.

The ball was still hit very accurately.

107：101

With 40 seconds left in the game, the Rockets had a six-point lead.

The Rockets' home fans and the Rockets players on the bench were jubilant.

On the other hand, there is a lot of despair on the Spurs' bench, and the current Spurs have not yet reached the place of honor and disgrace.

The Spurs quickly called a timeout.

Vicky quickly laid out the tactics for the Spurs, and this offense had to score, which was Vicky's request, and then fouled the tactics and let them make free throws.

The game started and the Spurs attacked.

Barkley held the ball, organized the offense, and according to Vicky's tactics, Duncan and Robinson came out to make a double screen.

Raw blocked a space for Barkley, who was already empty, directly on the outside, put a three-pointer.

Rocket fans, looking at the ball, are all praying that the ball will not go in.

It may have been feeling the brainwaves of the Rockets fans, and the ball smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced.

Bodiroga took advantage of his height and put the rebound in his arms.

It was still Ray Allen, who saw that the basketball was held by his teammates, and went straight down.

Bodi Roga didn't give his opponent a chance to foul at all, and the ball was once again accurate to Ray Allen.

This time the position is already outside the three-point line.

Ray Allen received the ball, shook off Johnson, who stepped forward to foul, and shot outside the three-point line.

"Whew" hit again.

The "killer grenade" has shown its true colors.

The Rockets won the game hard-fought at home.

After the game, at the press conference, Lao Tang and ** Vic both praised their opponents.

Think of the other side as the main contenders for this year's championship.

Under the mutual calculation of the two old foxes, both sides also know that the competition for this year's playoffs will be extremely fierce.

It seems that the alliance has reached the era of warring states for hegemony.

Whether this is possible or not, let's wait and see.
