"Shrink the defense, add thickness to the basket, and wrap Thiem when he gets the ball."

Adelman held the tactics board and looked at the players in a circle and said loudly.

In the first three minutes, the Rockets didn't score a point and were beaten 10-0 by the opponent. Duncan single-handedly scored six points on a shooting shot, and there was nothing Leylin could do about it.

As a last resort, Adelman was able to shrink the defense to increase the thickness of the defense and cause problems for Duncan.

"Where's the outside line?"

But in this way, the Spurs' perimeter players will get more shots.

"Raff, Tracy, so now it's just your runs that can interfere with their outside shots."

Adelman frowned slightly and said loudly.

In fact, the Spurs' outside shooting ability is not particularly strong, except for Bowen's good three-point ability in the bottom corners of both sides, Finley and Parker's three-point ability is not excellent, even if Ginobili comes up, there is no outstanding three-point ability.

However, if you can interfere, you still have to try your best to interfere, and if you let them vote, no one can guarantee that they won't go crazy.

The timeout is over, back to play.

The Rockets didn't make any adjustments on offense.

After Alston took the ball past half-court, Raelin raised one to cover Alston while several other players were already running.

With the help of Leylin's cover, Alston got rid of Parker and handed the ball to Scola at a 45-degree angle, and cut directly to the basket.

As the players rotated, Scola made a direct diagonal shift and passed the ball to Maddie in the bottom corner on the other side.

Swish.

With Bowen's interference, Maddie hit a direct dry shot to break the scoring deadlock for the Rockets.

Sometimes you have to admit the role of superstars on the pitch.

Being able to score in a bad situation and provide a consistent scoring point for the team is the role of a superstar.

Although Maddie's performance has been up and down this season due to injury, it is undeniable that Maddie is still a superstar and can still step up in critical moments.

That's why many teams go for superstars at any cost.

Swish.

The Spurs' offense was still handed over to Duncan, and after Parker passed the half, Duncan directly mentioned the high post to provide cover for Parker, and Parker, who broke through, handed the ball to Duncan with a return pass, and in the face of Raillin, Duncan opened his hand and shot, and the basketball flew smoothly into the basket.

"Tim Duncan!"

"Ray's defense is vulnerable in front of Duncan!"

Watching Duncan easily put the basketball into the basket, Leylin waved his arm in annoyance.

The Rockets attacked, and Leylin passed the half court in Als, took a step directly inside the three-point line, and made a block for Alston.

After receiving Alston's pass, Maddie and Alston quickly cut through the basket from either side of Leylin. Leylin gave the ball to Maddie with a single blow and quickly followed up in the middle.

Sou.

The basketball passed through the gap between Duncan and Bowen and came to Leylin's hand.

"Ah......h

After taking the basketball, Lei Lin took a step and jumped directly to dunk.

Seeing that the basket was imminent, a big hand directly blocked in front of Lei Lin's basketball.

Syllable!

"How is that possible?"

Stunned, Leylin quickly balanced his body. Then he turned and ran towards the Spurs' half.

The quick break failed, and the Spurs quickly fell into positional warfare.

Parker passed the half-time and handed the ball straight to Duncan.

Three feet from the basket, Leylin was pressed behind Duncan, preventing him from turning easily.

Bang.

Relying on Leylin, Duncan still beat hard.

"Damn."

The tremendous pressure forced Leylin to take a small step back, and Duncan turned directly to the side of the gap.

Beep!

Leylin slapped Duncan on the arm and fouled.

Two free throws were on the line, 14-2, and Adelman called another timeout.

"Go back to Houston, this is not the place for you to go wild."

"Haha, boy, go back to your mother's arms."

As Leylin walked off the court, there were all sorts of mocking voices coming from the field.

There is no way, this is the ATT Center, this is just Tim Duncan.

After the Rockets replaced Uncle Mu, they improved on defense, and after solving the problems on the defensive end, on the offensive end, the Rockets slowly found their feelings.

The score between the two sides has been rising, but the Rockets dug a bit of a hole in the opening game and have not been able to close the score.

When Leylin came on the court midway through the second quarter, the Rockets were still 34-46 and trailing by twelve points.

……

Rumble......

When Leylin came on the field, there was a burst of applause in the stadium.

This is not a cheer for Leylin, but a kind of irony for Leylin.

Raelin's poor performance in the first quarter clearly impressed Spurs fans. After all, the Rockets have such a big colander on the defensive end, and it's easier to score on the Spurs.

The Rockets attacked, and Maddy, covered by his teammates, cut to the basket in the air, and after receiving the pass, he went straight to the basket to add two more points to the team.

The Spurs' offense, this time dominated by the outside.

Demon knife Ginobili was covered by Duncan and dribbled directly into the basket.

In the face of Landry's defense, Ginobili slipped to the bottom line and went straight to the basket after a change of direction.

Syllable!

Leylin, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, slapped the basketball directly at the moment when Ginobili made a move.

After the basketball bounced off the rebound, it was confiscated by Leylin.

"Wonderful cap."

After receiving a pass from Rayling, Alston and Maddie went straight to the Spurs basket from both sides.

At a 45-degree angle, Alston hit the ground and passed the basketball to Maddie, who was cutting in the air.

Facing the defender, Maddie made a layup feint and passed the ball directly to the free throw line.

A black shadow took the basketball, and after dribbling it, he dunked it directly.

BOOM！

"Beautiful dunk comes from Ray."

After slamming the ball into the basket, Leylin slapped his chest at the fans in the arena, as if in response to their ridicule.

After two consecutive offensive scores, the Rockets immediately narrowed the gap to eight points.

But that didn't hurt Spurs' offense.

After a failed attack by Ginobili, this time the Spurs' offense hit the interior again.

After Duncan on the right side of the basket received the ball, he shook both sides of the ball with his back, and after seeing that Leilin did not move, Duncan directly carried Leilin towards the basket. Approaching the three-second zone, Duncan turned around and shot straight away.

Clang!

With Leylin's interference, Duncan finally lost.

After grabbing the rebound, the Rockets formed a fast break, and Alston hit a direct layup, and the difference was immediately narrowed to six points.

Hush!

Immediately after Alston hit the layup, there was a burst of boos in the arena.

With two successful defenses and a dunk, Raeling finally contributed his part in this game.

As the game continued, the scores of the two sides kept fluctuating around six points.

After Reelin came on the court, the Rockets' defense not only did not collapse, but got better and better. Duncan, defended by the Rockets, scored just three points in the second quarter. This surprised fans who were ready to witness Duncan's request for Leylin.

Bang, boom!

Near the baseline, Leylin took the basketball, and under Duncan's defense, he made a turnaround jumper, and the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced in.

Raelin's goal directly helped the Rockets equalize the score, and as the Spurs missed the attack, Raelin held on to the rebound, and the first half of the Rockets vs. Spurs ended.

Raelin played 4 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the second quarter, although the first quarter was terrible, but the flaws were not hidden, in the second quarter, Raelin still showed his ability on both offensive and defensive ends.

With a draw, the two sides went into the dressing room.

Whether we can keep the top three positions depends on the second half of the game.
