**Vich called a timeout, replaced Duncan with five fouls, replaced Robert Horry, also replaced Oberto, replaced Brent Barry, so the Spurs became A lineup of one big and four small, and this lineup is characterized by flexibility and eclectic offense at the same time.

Since the Rockets' defense is so targeted, **Vichitch simply doesn't play tactics. Anyway, if Duncan doesn't play, many tactics can't be played, so it's better to just give up the tactics and play fast. The next five minutes and 22 seconds, playing fast pace is also convenient for chasing points.

Of course, the fast pace of the Spurs cannot be compared with that of the Suns. If the Spurs also take shots in seven seconds like the Suns, they will either make mistakes or miss the offense, but there is no problem in launching an offense within 12 seconds.

As soon as this lineup came up, the Rockets' defense hadn't had time to change. Yao Ming was still firmly guarding the basket, but the five players of the Spurs were all running around on the outside. As soon as Yao Ming was about to defend, he saw Gino Billy got the ball and was about to rush to the hoop.

Yao Ming had no choice but to stand up and block him. Ginobili didn't care about fighting, and passed the ball to Stephen with a flick of his hand. Stephen attacked the basket again from the other side, and Hayes hurriedly blocked him. Stephen threw the ball to his left, Robert Horry had been waiting for a long time, raised his hand and threw the ball into the basket.

A three-pointer was made, and the Spurs pulled the score within ten points. Van Gundy immediately frowned. The formation of the Spurs made him feel a little bad, and the defensive strategy he had set up was about to lose its effect. Now, how to deal with it, Van Gundy hurriedly took out a handful of small notes from his pocket, and opened them one by one to check.

When he finally found a countermeasure, he looked up and saw that within half a minute, the Spurs had once again caught up to three points, narrowing the gap to only six points, but his countermeasures were no different. It is suitable for use here. After thinking about it, Van Gundy gave up this plan.

His original intention was that if the opponent used a lineup of one big and four small, he would let Hyde replace Yao Ming and let Hayes play the center. Ming is the main force of the Rockets' scoring, and it is the most confident point. If Yao Ming is replaced, no one on the Rockets will be able to score.

It’s true that the Spurs basically don’t have any inside lanes now, relying on Robert Horry, who can deal with a monster-like Yao Ming, they had to let Robert Horry go around the front, and Stephen was behind to attack, anyway, he is now playing power forward. position, Hayes' own offensive ability is not strong.

But no matter how weak the offensive ability is, you can’t let him layup casually, so Stephen can only defend when Yao Ming receives the ball, but Yao Ming suddenly throws the ball to Hayes, waiting for Stephen to come back At that time, Hayes had passed the ball again. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming went straight to the basket. Robert Horry couldn't pull the jersey behind him. Yao Ming put the ball in as soon as he raised his hand. Came over and gave Robert Horry a foul.

For a player who made more than 80.00% of his free throws, free throws are like sending points. After Yao Ming made a free throw, the Rockets widened the gap to nine points. Although Stephen made a goal when he came back, but Turning back, Yao Ming turned around and slid to the baseline. McGrady's pass came in time, and Yao Ming scored easily again.

**Vichi knew that he would find such a player. The lineup on the field did not have a player who could defend against it. Just going forward alone could not limit the scoring of a tall player like Yao Ming. As long as McGrady was on the field, He can send the ball to Yao Ming in time, and if he double-teams, he has to let go of a player.

After thinking about it, he issued an instruction off the court to let Stephen just double-team, and Hayes didn't need to focus on taking care of it. Stephen kept running between Yao Ming and Hayes. Although it was a bit tiring, the effect But it is very obvious.

Yao Ming is a little slower in reaction. Compared with those great players, he cannot react instantly after receiving the ball. Of course, no one expects a player who is [-] meters tall to be as flexible as a defender. You can't have your cake and eat it too well explains this truth well.

And the offensive lineup of the Spurs is not completely limited by the Rockets. Although the Rockets' defensive rotation is very active, after several changes, Stephen still faced Yao Ming. Dodge behind, then take off and score a layup, it is extremely easy.

At 31 minute and [-] seconds, Yao Ming's attack knocked Stephen down to the ground, but Yao Ming's attack was not completed, the ball was knocked out of the baseline, the referee decided who fouled, and just signaled the game to continue, the Spurs' possession of the ball.

After coming back, Stephen used an outside three-pointer to overtake the score by one point, and then the Spurs never gave the Rockets a chance. Brent Barry each scored a three-pointer to seal the game.

In the end, the Spurs narrowly beat the Houston Rockets by two points 86 to 84. Stephen contributed 34 points, eleven rebounds and four assists in this game, and Duncan had 21 points, thirteen rebounds, four assists and three blocks.

And Yao Ming scored 26 points and 21 rebounds, McGrady only scored [-] points, but sent [-] assists, in addition, the Rockets Sean Battier, Alston, Hyde He scored in double figures, but lost the game.

Since the second game will be played in San Antonio, the Rockets will stay here. A day later, the second game between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers will also determine the winner. The Pistons once again defeated the Cavaliers at home. For the team, LeBron James still suffered from the Pistons' defense and only scored [-] points, six rebounds and seven assists.

If you compare Stephen's excellent performance against the Rockets, which is also a defensive team, LeBron James' performance is a bit sorry for his name. Of course, some people analyze that this is because at the home court of the Pistons, LeBron James The power of the breakthrough was greatly reduced, and his shooting touch was not stable, so this happened.

Although Stephen’s scoring methods are not as comprehensive as LeBron James’s on the surface, his effective scoring methods are not inferior to LeBron James, especially his post-up singles, which are far better than LeBron James, which is also considered to be an excellent player in active service. Among the small forwards, James' only shortcoming.

Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, and Stephen all have one-handed back-up singles stunts. Although the types and characteristics are different, it is also an effective scoring method when losing touch and blocking breakthroughs. A scoring method that is too influenced by the star whistle or the home whistle.

Among the four now, Pierce is still sinking into the sea of ​​misery and has not even entered the playoffs, while Anthony was also eliminated early. LeBron James performed outstandingly in the previous games, but in the back, especially when he met the Pistons Sometimes, it doesn't perform as expected.

On the contrary, Stephen has performed better and better since entering the playoffs, and gradually surpassed LeBron James. With Stephen's performance, the attractiveness that has declined due to the suspension has been improved again. The season is not over yet. Ranked as the biggest and most valuable restricted free agent this summer.

In the second game between the Rockets and the Spurs, although the Spurs were behind in the first quarter, in the second quarter, driven by Stephen and Ginobili, they played an 31-[-] lead to beat the The score overtook the past in one fell swoop, and then kept leading until the end. Stephen still maintained an efficient output, scoring [-] points, six rebounds and four assists.

Back in Cleveland, LeBron James did as the experts predicted, and his performance increased greatly. From the average of 32 points per game in the previous two games, he increased to [-] points in one fell swoop, with nine rebounds and assists. The home court advantage is on him. It is extremely obvious.

Back in Houston, the Spurs ushered in a bitter battle. In the first half, neither side widened the gap to more than three points. After the two sides took the lead alternately [-] times, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs relied on After Ginobili's two consecutive three-pointers expanded the lead, Stephen's uninterrupted scoring gave the Spurs an away victory.

Stephen's performance declined in this game, scoring 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Ginobili and Duncan both scored 22 points, and Yao Ming scored 32 points and seventeen rebounds. , but it didn’t help the team to win. McGrady’s sluggish performance only scored 22 points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists. If Sean Battier hadn’t stood up and scored [-] points, Alston had scored The game was decided early in the morning.

The Spurs took a 26-[-] lead, which gave the Spurs the hope of a sweep, but in the fourth game, they encountered firm resistance from the Rockets at the Toyota Center.
