Chapter 372

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.

In the cheers of more than 1 fans at home, the Rockets entered the final 10-minute countdown.

In the locker room.

Both teams seemed to be quite relaxed, and there was no smell of gunpowder about the war.

The Spurs may have held a mobilization meeting during the day. Although there were some talking and laughing, the things discussed were basically related to the Rockets.

"You're going to have a lot of work tonight, and that guy is a real hunk."

Ginobili looked at Duncan and laughed.

Parker on the side was not far behind, and said jokingly: "Believe me, he will definitely play the inside line tonight, and you will be in big trouble!"

Duncan looked indifferent, shrugged and said: "I have met a lot of tough men, but they will all say that I am also fierce after the game."

Whoa whoa whoa whoa~~
Duncan's calm and pretentious appearance attracted a burst of strange screams at that time.

But having said that, Duncan really has the capital.

a time.

The atmosphere in the Spurs locker room has become more relaxed, and it feels like it is going to play a regular season, not the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

On the other hand, the Rockets, while relaxing, can still see the dignifiedness of the players.

After all, they entered the Western Conference Finals for the first time, and some even played in the playoffs for the first time, which made them feel somewhat uncertain.

But like McHale said, the more pressure you put on yourself, the worse the game will be.

Qin Tao and Harden, who are the core of the team, naturally encouraged their teammates and told them not to be too nervous.

But that being said, the nervousness is still tense.

After a while, what should come finally came.

"Guys, pack up yourselves, you are going to pick up guests!"

wipe it up!

The staff member of the Rockets attracted a lot of complaints as soon as he opened his mouth.

That being said, those who don't know think what they are doing.

But in this way, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and interesting things can make people decompress after all.

Leaving the player tunnel, cheers like a tsunami resounded in my ears.

Qin Tao and the others trotted to the players' bench. Out of gratitude, they all paid tribute to the stands.

moment.

The appearance of the Spurs immediately attracted soaring boos. It has to be said that this is how the home court advantage started.

The guest commentators tonight are still the golden trio, Van Gundy and Drexler.

They seem to be in love with the Rockets, as long as there is their game, these guys will come over.

Of course this is a joke.

With what the Rockets have shown this season, they really deserve such a golden combination.

As for tonight's referee, in addition to the bald Crawford, two other old referees who have enforced the law for more than 20 years also appeared together.

Behind the tech stage.

Technical personnel from the media, the community, and basketball-related work have already prepared and are waiting for the game to start.

then.

As the two teams began to warm up, the appearance ceremony followed closely.

The team's first trip to the Western Conference Finals since Olajuwon made their entrance ceremony so grand that it almost turned the arena into a party scene.

Since the playoffs, the fans who have not been uniformly dressed have also created a sea of ​​red with a big red T-shirt.

There were those excited fans, which quickly triggered a wave of people.

Accompanied by gorgeous lights and cheers, the entire Rockets home court is very lively, I don't know how much more lively than the festival.

But all preparations are for the competition.

As Crawford blew the "horn" of the game, the main players of the two teams cleaned up, and then they were ready to fight.

Needless to say, the Rockets' lineup here, they have used the lineup for most of the season and they still don't want to change it.

The Spurs' lineup looks much more stable.

The center position is played by Diego Splitter, he is a very good system player.

Needless to say, the power forward, the No. 21 rookie is still stable.

Small forward Kawhi Leonard has settled into the starting lineup, and his versatility is impressive enough.

The shooting guard is Tielin Brother Danny Green, and his three-pointers are impressive.

Coupled with Tony Parker at the point guard, the Spurs' lineup may not look a bit dim, but you can only know how powerful they are if you have a taste of their capabilities.

The game was about to start, and Crawford had already walked towards the center circle with the ball.

When it comes to the jump ball, there is no need to doubt it. Asik really can't do it.

Split's big ball rights were handed over to Parker and his teammates to advance together.

Come to the front court.

The Rockets did not resolutely press, but played routinely for the time being, so as not to change.

And there is no doubt about the tactical execution of the Spurs. Once they move, you have to be careful when this seemingly old team grinds you to death.

The pace is slow.

The Spurs pressed the rhythm and conducted it very patiently.

Duncan is very restraining on the inside, Motel doesn't dare to leave him an inch, this old guy is really "very bad".

a time.

The Rockets were forced to follow the rhythm of the Spurs, and the defensive end gradually shrunk, not wanting them to play too comfortably.

But the Spurs are the Spurs.

As Parker started the impact, the Spurs' tactics immediately started.

The inside line is high and low, and Danny Green is hovering towards the bottom corner of the wing.

When the time entered the last eight seconds, Parker plunged into the inside again, causing the Rockets' defense to shrink again, and Tielin on the outside immediately had a chance.

Break through the ball.

The basketball whizzed from Parker's hands, and Tielin took the ball and took off to shoot.

The ball goes in.

Barely regarded as an open three-pointer, Tielin was still sure, making the Rockets' home court quiet for a while.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, the fans in the stands suddenly came alive, as if at the end of the war, they shouted and shouted hoarsely.

it has started.

Jeremy Lin came to the frontcourt with the ball, and all the Rockets began to speed up.

The Spurs had to pick up the pace, but kept forcing the Rockets to fight in order to hold their rhythm.

Now is the time to test the synergy of the players.

If after the speed is raised, there is insufficient communication between the players and there are problems with tactical running, then only the star singles are waiting for this round.

They had already practiced many times before the game. With the Spurs unable to rotate, Harden used Parsons' pick-and-roll to take a three-pointer step back when he saw the opportunity.

Also scored.

The two teams showed a good feel and state from the beginning, but the game has just begun, and no one knows the result until the last quarter.

Next.

Before the official suspension of the first quarter, the two teams played very anxiously, and the point difference was basically locked within four points.

When the timeout returned to the off-court, Popovich took the lead in starting the substitutions. He first moved the knife from the power forward and the shooting guard.

As Duncan's substitute, Boris Diaw is not very good defensively, but his comprehensiveness is still daunting.

Brother Tielin was replaced by Gary Neal. This guy's offensive power is also good, and he often surprises people.

The Rockets are naturally not behind, but McHale only moves inside.
