With this wave of offense and defense, the Spurs have established a double-digit lead.
The Rockets eventually failed to turn over.
112 to 108.
The Rockets played stubbornly, but eventually they lost.
Harden made 11 of 25 shots, made 15 of 20 free throws, and scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
Parsons had 15 points and 5 rebounds. After being taught on the spot by Tang Tian, he wanted to find a chance to block his finger and shake it back, but unfortunately he didn't get this opportunity until the end of the game.
On the Spurs side, Parker had 23 points and 6 assists, Ginobili 13 points and 6 assists, and Duncan had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Tang Tian's performance continued to be eye-catching. He made 7 of 14 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, plus 4 free throws. He scored 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.
After winning this game, the Spurs also achieved a 3-0 lead in the series.
After the game, Popovich took Tang Tian and Parker to a press conference.
"The team was led by the Rockets by 10 points in the first quarter, and they scored only 2 goals in the first 10 shots. What do you think is the problem?"
"Out of the basket."
...
"The team's performance in the second half is very different. What is the reason for the change?"
"I don't know. I was blown out of the field by the referee in the first quarter. You have to ask Mike (Budenholzer) about this."
...
"The team now has a 3-0 lead on the big score. How do you feel now?"
"It's so cool that we don't have to be eliminated in the first round."
...
Popovich made a fascinating comment in the interview and saw that he was in a good mood.
But he should also be in a good mood. Harden has made 20 free throws. The Spurs won again. This is unhappy and inappropriate!
The Spurs conference was in a good mood, but the Rockets were much more dull on the other side.
Team coaches McHale and Harden became the focus of questions from reporters.
"Coach, the team's performance in the second half is obviously not as good as the first half. What is the main reason?"
"We need more people to stand up and score. James (Harden) alone cannot beat the Spurs." McHale said.
Parsons on the side: ...
"James, T-Mac scored 7 points in this game. Then help the Spurs to reduce the difference to 3 points. Do you think T-Mac will be a problem for your next game?" The reporter then spearheaded questions. Point to Harden.
"No, we will not let that happen. T-Mac is no longer the protagonist of this league. We are more concerned about the next game now."
Harden looked bad and didn't show much interest in working with reporters.
After a two-day break, the Rockets and Spurs' fourth game continued at the Toyota Center.
The last defeat had a huge impact on the Rockets. This game was a complete defeat.
By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were 25 points behind the Spurs.
The entire fourth quarter was garbage time.
In the fourth quarter, the fans knew that the Rockets' elimination was a foregone conclusion and began to shout in unison McGrady.
Popovich was in a good mood, replacing Tracy McGrady with five minutes left.
Tracy McGrady's competitive status is not much better than those bench players.
However, the Spurs team atmosphere is good, those bench players did not patronize themselves to grab points, but have the opportunity to pass to McGrady.
Tracy McGrady seized the opportunity to hit an iconic dry pull before the end of the game, and also brought a successful end to the series.
4-0, although in the second and third games met the Rockets' stubborn resistance, but the Spurs swept the Spurs in a low profile.
The series is over, but the discussion among Rockets fans on social media has not diminished and even reached a peak.
"This is Harden's first year in the team. Four of our starters are newcomers. It is already very good to be like this."
"The future is worth looking forward to, and I believe Harden will take it to the next level next season."
"But we have to make a wave of reinforcements this offseason. We have only one Asik in the post, which is too weak."
"We don't even have a starting power forward, hey."
"I think Parsons can play power forward. All-stars have no center position. The era of small **** is coming. The most important thing now is that we must get Tang in the summer, so our lineup is complete!"
"James Harden is our Michael Jordan, Don will be our Scottie Pippen!"
"Darell Morey, please send another mighty power!"
...
After the White Wolf wore Lin Shuhao and Asik last summer, they were quite confident that the team won Tang Tian empty-handed in the summer.
The Spurs swept the Rockets, and on the other side, the Heat gave the Bucks a 4-0.
This is also the only two sets of series to sweep in the first round.
Entwined by Popovich's aura of poisonous mouth, the other groups' games were all heated up.
The Celtics 1 to 3 Knicks, the Eagles 1 to 3 Pacers.
This is all considered normal.
The Nets and the Bulls, the Nuggets and the Warriors, the Clippers and the Lakers have all tied 2 to 2.
These three groups are considered an unexpected anxiety.
But the real surprise was the Thunder and Grizzlies game.
After 4 games, the second Thunder in the West has fallen behind the Grizzlies 1 to 3!
Looking at this posture, this year is about to go to Heiqi.
"Distressed by the Thunder for a minute, they have one Harden missing, and they can't even make it to the Western Conference semifinals."
"In fact, Westbrook is still missing. Westbrook was injured after playing the first game. He didn't play in the back. He didn't play the Thunder lost game."
"Distressed Xiaoshuai for an hour, this should have been his MVP season."
"Distressed Xiaoshuai for two hours. This time, the bath water failed again."
"Distressed Xiaoshuai for three hours. This year, even the chance to challenge the Spurs is not available."
"Tang: I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals. I can't help you if you can't get in."
"Tang: Actually it doesn't matter. You don't need to win the championship if you want bath water. Although I started to speak, I shot an ad that reserved a pot for you."
"A basin ... get in your heart."
...
Because the potential opponents Clippers and Lakers haven't finished, the Spurs also have a rare few days of rest.
"Tang ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Guess who will win again this year?"
One of the benefits of finishing the series early is that in addition to getting a break, you can also be a lively audience.
After training that day, Green took Tang Tian to talk about his opponent's next thing.
"The Lakers."
Tang Tian gave his answer.
"reason?"
"Because they have Kobe."
Tang Tian smiled back.
Green froze, then nodded.
The answer was very simple, but it made him unable to refute.
In this kind of duel, Kobe Bryant's Mamba spirit is still very useful. Remember the website URL, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
