The god-level lottery of the sports world

Wave. Povic is not Carlisle, he is also a master tactician, and he is more mature and targeted in tactical deployment.

The opening game of the two sides is a microcosm of the current play style of the two teams.

The Rockets wanted to play fast, but the Spurs’ combined defense made their three-pointers lose their power, and even if Hao Shuai’s passing was still sharp, Williams and Harden could contribute from time to time near mid-range, but that didn’t have much impact on the overall situation on the court.

After the first quarter, with an overall consistent play, the Spurs led the Rockets by double digits 38-24.

At the end of the first quarter, ATT Center fans entered a sea of cheers, and they took the Houstonians with just one game.

The Rockets players had a frustrated look on their faces at this time, and although the difference was not too much, they were pressed by the Spurs for the entire quarter.

“Guys, we need to make adjustments.” During the intersection break, Bikstaff stood in front of the bench with a tactical board.

Hearing the coach’s words, the players all gathered around.

“To make the Spurs’ joint defense useless, we have to make adjustments in facelift, we need more offensive baskets to kill their interior players.”

“Hao, I need you to stand up and lead the team in the second quarter.” Although it was a little late, the half quarter finally allowed the manager to find a way to deal with it.

Hao Shuai nodded, dealing with the Mavericks’ set of words that were useless to the Spurs, then it was time to return to his old job as a scorer.

During the first quarter break, reporters from the Spurs’ home court interviewed Wave. Povic, asked him about Hao Shuai’s defense.

“We know he’s a great three-pointer and at the same time has a very good passing vision, which is the same as Stephen. Curry plays very similarly, this kind of player can’t expect to lock him up completely, you can only force him to choose more choices, which can greatly relieve your defensive pressure. ”

Wave. Povic’s answer was accurate, to the point, and it was clear that he had studied Hao Shuai very deeply before the game.

The interview was put on the LED big screen, and the old man’s answer also attracted a cheer from the fans. Povic is here, even if there is a rookie like Hao Shuai, a second-rate team like the Rockets can’t make waves.

After more than three minutes in the second quarter, the main players of both sides came on one after another, and the score was 46-30, and the Spurs led by 16 points.

The Rockets made changes to their lineup, and they used Josh. Smith replaced Williams, dropping the small lineup they had used all season.

This strain attracted a burst of ridicule from Webb and Robinson, and also made the fans laugh.

Even the best small-ball tactics have been beaten and dare not be used, so what capital do the Rockets have to compete with the Spurs?

The Rockets’ attack, Hao Shuai dribbled to the front court.

The Spurs still have a 2-3 defense, and with the exception of Duncan and Aldridge who are guarding the basket, the rest of the team has expanded their defense to the three-point line.

Hao Shuai reached out from outside the three-point line, and Harden began to cut the basket empty.

Wave. Povic looked calm on the sidelines, and the Rockets’ style of play didn’t change much from the first half.

But soon, the old man’s gaze contracted at once, because in the next moment, Hao Shuai did not choose to pass the ball.

“Bang!”

A burst of sound sounded, and Hao Shuai faced Danny, who was defending in front. Green, directly used the thunder dribbling.

Such a change caught off guard, not only Parker and Leonard on both sides did not have time to wrap the clip, but even Green in front of him only had time to stretch out his hand.

Hao Shuai “swooped” and burst in from next to Green.

The 2-3 defense was mainly a three-point shot, and Hao Shuai passed Green, leaving only Aldridge and Duncan on the inside.

Harden’s previous breakthrough is obviously not just a false move, and the Rockets now have four players on the inside.

Hao Shuai dribbled through for a layup.

Aldridge was beaten by Josh. Smith pulled very open, there was only one old Duncan left under the basket, and he had to take care of Howard and Harden, and he suddenly felt stretched.

Hao Shuai scored directly with a quick layup.

Back in the second half, the Rockets took the lead.

Wave. Povic involuntarily touched his white beard at this time, although it was only a goal, but it could be seen that the Rockets had changed a lot in their style of play.

The Spurs offense, the team plays positional battles, Aldridge at the free throw line with the ball back to Smith, turn and shoot.

Although Smith is not the former Eagle King, his defensive strength is still there, and this ball jumped high to defend and successfully interfered with Aldridge’s shot.

“Bang!”

Aldridge’s shot bounced off and the rebound was taken by Howard.

The Spurs retreated in time, and the Rockets didn’t play fast.

Hao Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and saw that the Spurs were still defending 2-3 defense, without any hesitation, and directly struck a four-finger thunderous dribble with his right hand.

Danny. Green consciously retreated this time, and Parker on the right also came to assist in the defense, but they all underestimated the speed of the four-finger thunder dribbling.

Hao Shuai was like the wind, and he passed between them at once.

There was an uproar.

Parker of the Spurs, nicknamed “French sports car”, Pinnacle. The speed on the court at peak time is his only gear, and the others are in one gear, but now in front of Hao Shuai, it is not enough to watch at all!

After Hao Shuai threw off the pockets of Green and Parker, he went inside again, and Duncan chose to defend this time.

Although the “Stone Buddha” is 40 years old, the deterrent power on the defensive end is still there.

Hao Shuai glanced at Duncan, and his mind immediately remembered that he gave Bo during the All-Star Game. In the scene of Povich as a “bodyguard”, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but smile.

Duncan was stunned by Hao Shuai, and at this moment, the ball in Hao Shuai’s hand suddenly disappeared, and when he looked again, it was already in Howard’s hand on the right.

Howard took the ball, faced the empty blue, and directly staged a powerful two-handed dunk.

“Boom!”

The dunk sounded crisp and the Rockets scored two more points.
