On May 5, US time, after a few days of rest, the second round of the NBA playoffs kicked off.

Because the Rockets and Spurs ended the earliest, they became the first team to play in the second round.

The Toyota Center is still lively and even more popular than in the first round.

The playoffs are not just a result, but a process for the fans.

From the past five or even ten years, the Spurs series are all classics.

The opening ceremony at the scene was also extremely popular.

Exciting music, hot video clips, and super-high flames sprayed from both ends of the stadium, set off against the audience wearing red T-shirts, as if to light the entire stadium.

The Rockets also came along.

It's still the regular lineup. The defender is Billups and McGrady, the forward is Shane Battier and Yi Jianlian, and the center Yao Ming.

The Spurs are also the regular season lineup, with Parker and Finley on the perimeter, Bowen and McDyess on the wing, and Duncan at the center.

Duncan and Yi Jianlian jumped the ball.

The moment before the referee's whistle, Duncan took the lead and took the ball back to the Spurs' half.

The referee didn't blow the reopened whistle, "Stone Buddha" used the experience to take advantage.

Parker held the ball to the frontcourt. McDyess mentioned that he had made a pick-and-roll on the left high and followed the ball to cut the basket straight from the left.

The Rockets contracted the defense on the left side, but at the same time, Duncan unknowingly made Finley a ball-free pick-and-roll at the high post on the right side. Lee directly got a vacancy.

Parker's breakthrough to the basket attracted Yi Jianlian's double-teams. At this time, a long throw was given to the past.

Finley catches the ball.

"Oh!"

Three-point drop.

Although Finley is older, he has been in a very good shape since entering the playoffs. He averaged three shots per game from the three-point line, was able to hit 1.4 goals, and hit 46.7%.

"Pay attention to the weak three-pointer." Tang Tian stood up at this time and shouted to the players.

After shouting, he turned to glance at Popovich sitting in the other half.

The "hammer tactic" just now, the Spurs are getting more and more skilled.

The Spurs, most fans in the past life, are feeling that the stone Buddha is not old, and Popo is strong, but in fact, during the 20-year Duncan period, the Spurs are constantly changing.

One of the watershed points is that as Duncan gets older, the Spurs give up offensive tactics that used to be singles as the starting point, but instead use more running tactics such as "hammer tactics".

It wasn't obvious when playing against the Rockets two years ago, and it's pretty good now.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming responded at the free throw line, Duncan dropped his weight and stood. The other Spurs players kept their eyes on the defender, changing everybody, and keeping the side to Yao Ming, ready to interfere with the pass.

This set of Spurs is completely different from the regular season, it seems that it was prepared for the Rockets.

Yao Ming had no chance of passing and turned to play Duncan.

Continuous footsteps swayed to the basket, but Duncan always followed the picture and did not give Yao Ming a mobile phone session easily.

Yao Ming turned his hook behind his back.

Although Duncan couldn't reach it, he gave enough resistance below.

"boom!"

The ball was a little shorter, the ball reached the front, and Duncan turned to receive a defensive rebound.

One-to-one, Yao Ming, 29, has no obvious advantage over 33-year-old Duncan.

The Spurs attacked, the same tactics, Yi Jianlian went out to fill Finley, Parker broke into the inside and faced Yao Ming, a gyro turned directly to the basket and succeeded.

After all, Yao Ming is a big man. He can't keep up with his speed, and his shots are not so good.

Parker was not shocked after scoring the goal, shouting to let his teammates quickly retreat. Compared with two years ago, he also improved a lot and was obviously more mature.

Billups held the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Yao Ming to continue his high post. McGrady and Yi Jianlian had a pick-and-roll opportunity and Yao Ming gave the ball.

However, the moment McGrady was about to reach for the ball, Bowen stumbled, and McGrady almost fell out.

Yao Ming's pass went directly to McDyess. McDyess threw the ball and threw the ball forward. After Parker received the ball, he rushed to the layup and scored directly.

7 to 0!

The Spurs were mainly anti-visitors and caught the Rockets by surprise.

"The Spurs are really the Rockets' nemesis!" Seeing the situation on the field, the commentary's Brin couldn't help expressing his emotions.

Two years ago, in the round of the Western Conference, although the Rockets won in the end, the Spurs were 2-0 at the beginning of the series.

Now the Rockets lineup is stronger, but the Spurs have become even hotter.

Tang Tian reached out and made a tactical gesture, signaled the team members to play an infinite air cut.

Billups held the ball to the frontcourt, Yao Ming directly held the ball to pull Duncan to the top of the arc.

At the same time, McGrady and Billups cut the basket empty. After not having a chance to run out, McGrady and Yi Jianlian cut the basket again.

The Spurs' old arms and old legs quickly appeared in defensive loopholes. McGrady seized the opportunity to take out Yao Ming's pass and make a direct mid-range dry pull.

"Oh!"

The basketball echoed into the net.

There was cheering at the scene.

The Rockets finally broke the scoring shortage.

Tang Tian glanced again at Popovich, who rubbed his forehead with his hands at this time, looking helpless.

It seems that this trick, the old man still did not find a solution.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker made another layup, but Yao Ming had prepared for the ball and successfully interfered with his shots.

Billups advanced to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Yao Ming for an infinite air-cut tactic.

This time McGrady's air cut attracted Duncan's defense. Yao Ming drew the ball one step forward and shot high.

"boom!"

The ball hit the rebound and bounced in.

The Rockets continued to increase points.

Parker did not hit the hammer tactics in the frontcourt, reached out and made another tactical gesture.

McDyess and Duncan directly mentioned the high double pick-and-roll, Parker found Duncan, and after the pick-and-roll, he went straight to the basket and broke the ball to the inside.

Duncan didn't shoot after receiving the ball, but gave it to the weak side three-pointer.

I don't know when McDyess blocked Finley for another open three-pointer.

This is still a hammer tactic! It's just mutated!

Because Duncan's jumper is a great deterrent ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The attention of the Rockets players was attracted in the past and they didn't notice it!

Finley made a 3-pointer with a free throw.

"boom!"

The ball was slightly shorter, Yi Jianlian struggled to grab the defensive rebound, turned around and immediately slammed McGrady.

McGrady dribbled directly from the backcourt, facing McDyess's defense, a beautiful behind-the-back dribble passed, striding into the interior with a one-handed dunk.

"Oh!"

The cheering scene was astounding.

After the Rockets were beaten 7-0, they turned around and immediately returned the Spurs a 6-0!
