The Godfather of Basketball

You hit me once, and I pay you back.

The emotions of the fans at the scene are getting higher and higher, this is the real playoffs!

When Popovich saw this, he called Parker to his side and listened to him for a while.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, directly signaled others to open up space, and then handed the ball to Duncan in the low post.

It was Yi Jianlian who defended Duncan.

Although Duncan is 33 years old, his strength is basically the same as when he was at his peak. With Yi Jianlian on his back, after a hard fight, he turned around and hooked directly with Yi Jianlian's strength.

Yi Jianlian was half a beat too late to block the shot and missed it.

"boom!"

With a wipe, the basketball bounced into the frame, looking extremely relaxed.

At this moment, Tang Tian had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

Yi Jianlian has strengthened so much and has improved a lot, but there is still a big gap against Duncan.

The Rockets attacked and continued to play off-the-ball cut tactics. McGrady cut the ball and wanted to make a layup, but Bowen pulled him down.

When Bowen pulled, his hand was on McGrady's waist.

After being pulled down, McGrady had a grim expression, and immediately put his hands on his waist.

The audience was terrified, this McGrady's waist has a history of injuries!

Tang Tian also stood up abruptly from the bench.

Although the system has been used to exchange McGrady for an iron waist before, it does not mean that it is really an iron waist after all!

Moreover, McGrady has a congenital spinal problem, and this deadlift is more likely to be injured than ordinary players.

Fortunately, McGrady took two steps and slowed down. It seems that he should be fine.

"That's a dangerous move! A very dangerous move!" Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, but still shouted to put pressure on the referee.

"Back back, back up." The referee signaled Tang Tian to back up, but at the same time nodded to him.

When Tang Tian retreated, the referee turned around and gave Bowen a warning whistle.

"Inside No. 5!" Tang Tian thought about it after going back, turned around and ran to the edge of the bench, and shouted at Billups.

Although the Rockets have a luxurious lineup, they still can't afford the risk of losing Tracy McGrady.

The sideline ball was sent out, and the Rockets adjusted their tactics.

Yao Ming leaned back against McDyess in the low post, and Billups directly signaled his teammates to pull away, and then gave it a high lob.

Yao Ming glanced behind him, he relied on hitting, and then ignored McDyess's movements, turned directly to the basket, and made a small hook with his left hand.

McDyess was just out of reach.

"Shua!"

Yao Ming's hook also landed firmly.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker crossed the frontcourt and handed the ball to Duncan, and then took Billups away from the baseline.

Duncan glanced back at the basket where Yao Ming didn't come over, and then continued to play.

Battier recovered the basket, and Duncan flicked the ball to Finley immediately.

Battier returned to the defense, and Finley then gave the ball in.

Duncan turned around after receiving the ball.

Yi Jianlian's defense was in place, but Duncan squeezed him away as soon as he exerted his strength. His solid footsteps to the basket were a low-handed scoring.

The super giant of the historical level is really fighting, and it cannot be prevented by simple double-teaming.

The Rockets' offense, Billups signaled his teammates to pull to the other side after halftime, and then directly lobbed the ball to Yao Ming.

McDyess went into a physical confrontation, but Yao Ming was tall and burly, and he still successfully received the ball.

Parker quickly recovered at this time, but Yao Ming also responded quickly, returning the ball to Billups immediately.

Billups had a three-pointer, and Parker could only recover it, but as soon as he arrived, Billups had already dropped the ball in again.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming put his entire body weight on McDyess, and then directly made a small hook.

Poor McDyess, a 6-foot-9 guy, couldn't get up.

"Shua!"

Yao Ming's hook went in!

At this moment, Tang Tian noticed that someone was looking at him, and turned his head to see that it was Popovich.

He followed suit with a smile.

Duncan is a super giant in history, there is no doubt about it.

But Yao Ming has developed the ability to pass the ball, coupled with his growth in the past two years, at his peak this year, he also has the super strength of history!

If you really want one-on-one, you are totally worth it!

In the Spurs' offense, Parker also gave the ball to Duncan, and Yao Ming helped defend under the basket. Duncan passed the ball behind his head to McDyess, who easily put the basket and scored.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming also continued to hold the ball in the low post, McDyess defended, Yao Ming hit the ground from behind, the ball passed McDyess and went to Yi Jianlian, who took the ball and directly dunked with both hands.

After the opening wave, the two sides instantly became a PK between two historical super giants!

Because the game had just started, from the perspective of conserving energy, both Tang Tian and Popovich did not allow Yao Ming and Duncan to face each other, and the situation on the court fell into a stalemate.

The game entered an official timeout after half a quarter, and the two sides battled to a 16-16 tie.

Both sides began to replace the bench at this time, the Rockets replaced Battier with Artest, and the Spurs replaced Finley with Ginobili.

When the Rockets came up to attack, Yao Ming continued to ask for a position, but the position changed from a low position to a high position on the right.

Leaning his back against McDyess, he turned around a few times, but kept his eyes on his surroundings.

At this time, Artest got in with a "bass".

Yao Ming flicked his hands and passed the ball in.

Bowen can stop McGrady, but when he meets Artest's body shape, he can't handle it at all, and can only be crushed and squeezed.

Artest took the ball directly to the inside and hit the board to score.

The Rockets have changed tactics again!

The Spurs attacked, Duncan asked for the ball at the free throw line, and then relied on Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian lowered his center of gravity and stretched out his long arms to interfere.

But at this moment, Ginobili suddenly took advantage of Bowen's pick-and-roll from the outside to accelerate into the inside. His speed was so fast that he almost instantly threw away McGrady and Battier. Duncan hit the ground without moving his head. The ball was sent directly to Ginobili.

Ginobili took the ball and made a serpentine breakthrough to squeeze past Yao Ming for a low-handed layup.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Many fans looked at the Rockets halftime and then the Spurs halftime.

In the past two rounds of the two teams, it was like playing a mirror image attack, the similarity was 100%!

After returning from the timeout, Popovich has been sitting on the bench. It is impossible for him to eavesdrop on Tang Tian's tactics during the timeout, so this can only be a coincidence.

Tang Tian took advantage of the timeout to adjust his tactics, and Popovich also changed his style of play.

It just so happened that the two had exactly the same idea.

The on-site cameraman made a cut of the shot at this time, half of which is Tang Tian, ​​and the other half is Popovich.

There was also a commotion at the scene.

In fact, not only in the past two rounds, but also from the beginning to now, the two are extremely similar in terms of predictions and tactical changes.

This is definitely not a question of who imitates whom, but it is their most reasonable judgment on the situation on the court.

This is the two of them, they are rivals.
