Chapter 321 The curtain falls, and history is written!
In the next round, the Spurs repeated their old tricks.
Since Duncan can impress Ben Wallace, the ball will naturally be handed over to Shi Buddha again.
But this time, Ben worked hard and increased his defensive intensity again!
After Duncan received the ball, he continued to create physical confrontation...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The sound of clashing muscles was endless.
Duncan, who was already injured, couldn't help but groan after being hit.
Although Shifo's basic skills were very solid and he did not make mistakes under pressure, he himself also realized...
It should be difficult to pass the singles and send the ball into the basket again!
In desperation, Duncan had no choice but to pass the ball back to the outside.
However, an interesting scene happened.
Parker, who received the ball, was unaware of Duncan's predicament and thought the latter just wanted to play a "score and hit" trick with him, so he passed the ball back again.
Duncan gritted his teeth and tried to hit him twice on the back...
Unsuccessful.
He had no choice but to pass the ball out again.
Parker didn't hesitate and passed the ball in for the third time.
Off the court, Griffin watched this scene in stunned silence.
[Can basketball still be played like this?]
He was shocked.
Once you accept this setting, you can play with endless nests of dolls in post-up play until the opponent reveals a flaw.
However, after Duncan made three in and three outs, he still failed to shake the defense.
In desperation, he pushed hard with his left shoulder, and then shot with a small hook with his right hand.
I have to say that Duncan is still two sizes larger than Ben.
There's really nothing Ben Wallace can do about this kind of shot after a confrontation.
However, because Duncan's hook position was far away from the basket, it was difficult to control the strength, and the ball eventually missed.
Yao Ming relaxed his arms, took off the backboard, and handed the ball to Curry beside him.
The cute god holds the ball and advances at high speed.
Parker retreated quickly and got on Curry just after halftime.
Obviously, during the pre-game analysis, the Spurs emphasized Curry's ultra-long three-pointer.
But it is actually very dangerous for Parker to start defending closely from such a far position.
Because in this position, there are no other Spurs players to help him defend, so Curry can make bold moves with confidence.
I saw Meng Shen dribbling the ball from his hips, switching the ball to his left hand, then sinking his center of gravity and making a breakthrough to the left.
Parker quickly moved sideways to block his way.
But the next moment, Curry dribbled the ball behind his left hand and dribbled the ball back to his right hand.
Moreover, when he was dribbling the ball behind his back, he made a very large and lifelike shoulder shake.
This action made Parker think that the opponent was going to break through to the left, so he took another step to his right.
By the time he reacted, the two were about three bodies apart!
Curry smiled slightly, took a step forward, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
75:62, the Rockets once again expanded their lead.
After scoring the goal, Curry tapped his chest and raised his hands to the sky.
After half-time observation, he not only found a way to resist Parker's attack, but also figured out the latter's little defensive habits!
............
Offense and defense transition.
Ginobili used the screen to successfully break through Roy's defense.
After arriving in the penalty area, Yaodao made a no-look-pass and passed the ball to Duncan who was following up.
The latter hit the ball high and scored.
Daben looked at the ocean and sighed.
This is definitely the easiest goal Duncan has scored in this game!
"Good shot! That's how Duncan should play. It's too difficult to beat Ben Wallace one-on-one. We still need to use more movement and air cuts to find opportunities for easy shots."
"It's just that even Ginobili can't perform this kind of magical pass frequently."
Yang Yi commented timely.
The game continues.
Rockets' offensive possession.
Curry advanced past half court with the ball and immediately handed it over, while he began to move without the ball.
During the running process, while seeking cover from his teammates, Meng Shen will also take the initiative to help his teammates pick and roll.
After the ball passed several times, Curry finally found the opportunity.
I saw him suddenly reverse running at the baseline, speeding up and passing between Ben and Yao Ming.
Parker chased after him crazily, but near the free throw line, he was hit by two strong men from the Rockets.
Yao Ming and Ben moved to the middle together, and the sports car stalled instantly.
After all, no one wants to run into a wall!
Curry took the opportunity to sneak outside the three-point line and easily shot after receiving Roy's pass...
"Shua~"
The basketball hit the net.
78:64, the Rockets already lead by 14 points!
"The classic elevator door tactic! After Curry joined the Rockets, this tactic became more powerful than at the beginning of the season!"
Yang Yi sighed.
At the beginning of the season, the Rockets basically used McGrady or Lowry as the end point of this tactic.
Both of them have good shooting skills, but in terms of stability, Curry is still better!
Once the goal was scored, the score difference came to 17 points.
But the Rockets' performance has just begun.
In the next few minutes, Curry, Tracy McGrady, and Roy "fired" frequently.
Especially Curry!
He found that Parker's speed and reflexes had declined at this time due to his physical condition.
As the saying goes, kill him while he is sick!
Curry immediately launched a "crazy" attack.
Super long three-pointers, high rebounds after breakthroughs, step-back shots...
Curry showed off his eighteen martial arts skills and completely defeated Parker!
When the poor little sports car was replaced, there was only one sentence left in his mind - "He is scarier than Russell (Westbrook)!"
On the other hand, look at the Spurs.
They couldn't find any effective offensive means, their scores were hit or miss, and every goal they scored was difficult.
Such offensive efficiency naturally cannot compete with the Rockets.
When the red light on the timer turned on and the third quarter came to an end, the Rockets' lead had reached 25 points!
At this point, the Spurs' last thoughts of counterattack were extinguished.
The game completely lost its suspense.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich replaced all five starting players, resigned, and retreated.
The Rockets' starters only needed three quarters before clocking out.
They were talking and laughing on the bench throughout the fourth quarter.
At the same time, the fans at Toyota Center also realized that the team was about to break the past winning streak, so they started to play crowd wave with great excitement.
Starting from the left side of the stands, the fans held hands and "conducted waves" while shouting in unison: "let's.go.rockets~"
“let’s.go.rockets~”
“let’s.go.rockets~”
The sound spread from left to right throughout the arena, turning the Toyota Center into a sea of joy!
Soon, the fourth quarter of the game also came to an end.
In the end, the score of this Texas civil war was fixed at 135:105.
The Rockets were at home and defeated the Spurs with a huge advantage of 30 points!
The victory in this game also marked that the Rockets under Shen Fei officially broke their winning streak four years ago!
23 consecutive wins - the second longest winning streak in history, belongs to this brand-new Rockets team!
After the game, McGrady and Curry were interviewed by ESPN reporters.
"Both of you, you were jointly named the best players of the game."
"After receiving this honor in such a memorable game, what do you want to say to the fans in front of the TV?"
