Chapter 288 Spurs VS Rockets
The Spurs easily won the Thunder in 4 games, and also gave the Thunder a big gift, an extremely shameful 59-point difference in the playoffs.

The game between the Rockets and the Warriors was a bit of a surprise.

The Warriors without Thompson have a lot of reduced defensive and offensive power. It may not be obvious in the regular season, but it is very obvious in the playoffs.

The Rockets' offensive ability is one of the best in the entire league. This season's poor play is mainly due to problems on the defensive end. They are too brainless to switch defenses infinitely. Many teams can adjust and have no fear at all.

Moreover, the Rockets' offensive power is too dependent on three-pointers, which can be said to be three-pointers for success and three-pointers for losses.

But with the Warriors, three-pointers are a sharp sword. The Warriors' perimeter defense ability has dropped too much after Thompson left.

The opportunity for the Rockets has come. After 4 games, the Rockets have taken a 3-1 lead.

Many Rockets fans thought of the last time the Rockets beat the top, which was also No.6. They rushed all the way from the bottom to the finals, and then won the Magic and won the defending title.

Now the momentum of the Rockets is very high.

Of course, the Spurs are also paying attention to the series between the Rockets and the Warriors, and the confrontation between them is also a must for the Spurs to refer to.

In the fifth game, the Warriors made a comeback. Curry and Durant scored 83 points together, dragging the game into the sixth game.

In the sixth game, the Rockets did their best without wasting their home court, and finally won the Warriors with a 109-105 advantage of 4 points, and eliminated the Warriors with a big score of 4-2.

This series proved that the era of the Warriors has completely passed.

The Spurs and Rockets advanced to the Western Conference finals.

In the East, the Raptors also eliminated the Pistons 4-2. The Bucks and the 76ers only played 5 games. The 76ers have a deformed lineup. The Bucks are a standard modern basketball lineup. There are no obvious shortcomings in each position, except for the big center. Lopez was a little slower.

The finals here in the West start first.

Still at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, players from both sides of the Spurs and Rockets are warming up.

The first game is very important, the Rockets team is in very good condition, and the chemistry in the 6 games is very good.

The entire Spurs team, including Xiao Hang, attached great importance to it. Xiao Hang himself was in a completely different state, with a very serious expression.

It has been said that Harden's playoff data is not very good, but this time the playoffs are in very good condition.

Averaging 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, this is a real playoff superstar.

Of course, Xiao Hang's statistics are not bad, especially after scoring 60 points in the fourth game against the Thunder, his scoring average reached 35 points per game.

Capela and Isaac are ready at the halfway line.

The referee threw the ball into the sky, and Isaac and Capela instantly left the wooden floor and bounced into the air.

Isaac has better bullet speed, and Capela is a little heavier.

Isaac caught the basketball before Capela.

Xiao Hang controlled the ball and dribbled it across the half court.

Ennis had already posted it, Xiao Hang took two steps to the right, and changed direction in front of his body to choose a strong thrust.

Ennis leads the defense, and Clark behind has also been posted, and has been double-teamed.

I didn't expect that the Rockets, who have been changing defenses infinitely, would double-team, and I couldn't understand it at all.

Xiao Hang is also a little confused here. It seems that the Rockets saw the Jazz's defensive routine and thought it was good?
Quickly out the ball, the ball came to Gay's hands.

Gay has reached the fourth position in this game, and now he is in the open position. Xiao Hang's pass is still very good.

Gay made an open shot.

"Boom—" It's a pity that Guy's touch hasn't come yet.

This is the first time the Rockets have used double-teaming, which completely ruined the previous arrangement of the Spurs.

Paul dribbled the ball across the half, Capela's screen.

Paul cuts in, doesn't choose to switch, Isaac delays, Forbes keeps up.

Both Forbes and Isaac are fast, and Paul is one of the rocket's engines.

The Spurs' strategic purpose is to suppress Paul and force the Rockets to only use Harden to launch, and Harden has already assumed 60% of the offensive responsibilities.

Paul also made a quick shot here, without giving the Spurs a chance to make a mistake.

Harden received the ball and faced Murray.

Continuously on the crotch, suddenly picked up speed, relying on his own strong strength to squeeze Murray away and get inside.

Isaac blocked it out for interference.

"Boom—" Harden's shot also came to an end.

Isaac grabbed the rebound and gave it to Xiao Hang.

Xiao Hang quickly pushed forward. One of the best ways to face double teams is to play fast and not give the defense a chance to settle.

Ennis followed quickly behind, but the others were still in position. Xiao Hang forced Ennis to make a layup with a European step.

"Shua—" Xiao Hang's grip was still steady.

Xiao Hang scored the first goal of the game.

Paul continued to have the ball, this time passing it directly to Harden.

Harden chose to single Murray.

Murray's task is to stand up to Harden.

Harden didn't choose to break through, he made a quick move, took a step back, and made a three-pointer!

"Shua—" Harden is steady, Harden's basic operation.

This is why the Rockets rely on three-pointers, seem to be behind, and directly overtake.

Forbes dribbled the ball across the half and gave it to Xiao Hang.

Xiao Hang chose to cover, with Capela blocking in front and Ennis chasing behind.

Xiao Hang changed direction and forcibly went to Capella.

"Boom—" No, Capela's blocking still worked.

Capela grabbed the rebound by the way.

Give it to Harden.

Harden also forcibly played fast, heading straight to the inside of the Spurs. Murray's small body could not withstand Harden's impact.

"Pa—" Although Murray couldn't stand it, there was Xiao Hang behind him.

Xiao Hang didn't agree, and a block hit the backboard.

Murray grabbed the rebound and quickly returned to the frontcourt.

"Kang—" Murray took off directly, smashing the buckle with one hand.

The state of the Spurs team here can be said to be very good.

Paul controlled the ball. In order to be stable, he still organized the movement and did not choose to force a breakthrough.

Harden broke through, Paul and the outside line started to run.

Xiao Hang is also directing the defensive movement.

But Harden's breakthrough is too attractive.

Clark was still vacated.

"Boom—" It's a pity that Clark's first strike was made.

The Rockets come back here and give Capela, who is inside, a shot, which is also a strike.

It can be seen that the role players of both sides have not yet entered the state immediately, and their hands are still a bit tight.

Xiao Hang played tricks on Isaac.

Xiao Hang passed halftime and covered with Isaac.

Isaac received the ball from a high position, Gay ran back and cut into the interior, and received a pass from Isaac.

"Shua—" easily reversed the basket and entered the frame.

This is a pass control.

Many fans don't understand.

The Rockets are obviously the best at restraining pass control, what's wrong with the Spurs.

In front of the Rockets, they thought about double-teaming and did not switch defenses infinitely. Now the Spurs are playing pass control, and the German coach immediately signaled to the players on the field to change their defensive tactics.

The Spurs came again, still the same routine, Isaac received the ball in a high position.

But at this time Xiao Hang came to the left corner and Xiao Hang caught the ball.

Directly choose singles Capella.

A body changes forward and strongly breaks into the inside line.

Relying on speed to lead Capela by half a step.

"Kang—" Isaac also rushed in at this time, Ennis couldn't seal it, and there was a shortage of insiders. Isaac directly received Xiao Hang's pass and dunked alley-oop.
