In this wave of offense and defense, the Spurs established a double-digit lead.

The Rockets were unable to turn over in the end.

112 to 108.

The Rockets played very tenaciously, but in the end they lost.

Harden made 11 of 25 shots in the game, made 15 of 20 free throws, scoring 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists with a quasi-triple double-digit data.

Parsons scored 15 points and 5 rebounds. After being taught on-site by Tang Tian, ​​he wanted to find a blocking opportunity to shake his finger back, but unfortunately he didn't get this opportunity until the end of the game.

On the Spurs, Parker scored 23 points and 6 assists, Ginobili scored 13 points and 6 assists, and Duncan scored 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Tang Tian's performance continued to be eye-catching, making 7 of 14 shots in the game, including 6 of 10 three-pointers and 4 free throws, scoring 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

After winning this game, the Spurs also took a 3-0 lead in the series.

After the game, Popovich took Tang Tian and Parker to the press conference.

"The team was led by the Rockets by 10 points in the first quarter, and they only scored 2 goals in the 10 attempts in the opening period. What do you think is the problem?"

“Out of the basket.”

...

"The team's performance gap in the first and second half is very big. What is the reason for the change?"

"I don't know, I was knocked out of the arena by the referee in the first quarter. You have to ask Mike (Burdenholzer) about this."

...

"The team is now leading 3-0 in the big score. How do you feel now?"

"It's so cool, we don't have to be eliminated in the first round."

...

Popovich made a lot of witty comments in the interview, and it can be seen that he is in a very good mood.

But he should be in a good mood. Harden has been fined 20 times, but the Spurs still won. It's not appropriate to be unhappy!

The Spurs were in a good mood at the press conference, but on the other hand, the Rockets seemed much more boring.

Team coaches McHale and Harden became the focus of reporters' questions.

"Coach, the team's performance in the first and second half was obviously worse than the first half. What is the main reason?"

"We need more people to stand up and score. James (Harden) alone cannot defeat the Spurs." McHale replied.

Parsons on the side:...

"James, T-Mac scored 7 points in this game, so helping the Spurs narrow the gap to 3 points. Do you think T-Mac will become a trouble for your next game?" The reporter then pointed the finger at Harden.

"No, we won't let that happen, T-Mac is no longer the protagonist of this league, and we're more concerned about the next game now."

Harden looks in a bad mood and doesn't have much interest in cooperating with reporters.

After two days of rest, the fourth game between the Rockets and the Spurs continued to play at the Toyota Center.

The failure of the last game had a great impact on the Rockets, and this game was a completely defeated game.

By the time the third quarter was over, the Rockets were already 25 points behind the Spurs.

The entire fourth quarter became garbage time.

In the fourth quarter, fans knew that the Rockets' elimination was a foregone conclusion and began to shout in unison that McGrady came on the court.

Popovich was in a good mood and replaced McGrady with 5 minutes left at the end of the game.

McGrady's competitive state does not have much advantage compared to those bench players.

However, the Spurs' team atmosphere is good, and the bench players did not just try to grab points, but passed it to McGrady if they had the chance.

McGrady seized the opportunity before the end of the game and hit a signature kick, which also brought a perfect end to this round of series.

4-0, although they were stubbornly resisted by the Rockets in both the second and third games, the Spurs still swept the Spurs in a low-key manner.

The series has ended, but the discussion among Rockets fans on social media has not diminished, and it has even reached a peak.

"This is Harden's first year with the team. Four of our starting players are new players. It's great to play like this."

"The future is worth looking forward to, and I believe Harden will go to a higher level next season."

"But there must be a wave of reinforcements in the offseason. There is only one Asik in our inside line that can be used, which is too weak."

"We don't even have a starting power forward, embarrass."

"I think Parsons can play power forwards. There is no center position in the All-Stars. The era of small ball is coming. The most important thing now is that we will get Tang in the summer, so that our lineup will be complete!"

"James Harden is our Michael Jordan, and Don will be our Scottie Pippen!"

"Darel Morey, please send another magical power!"

...

After making a fuck last summer, Jeremy Lin and Asik were brought to the team, they were quite confident that Xia Tian won Tang Tian with nod.

The Spurs swept the Rockets, and on the other hand, the Heat also sent the Bucks a 4-0.

This is also the only two-group series to sweep in the first round.

Entangled by Popovich's poisonous mouth halo, the competitions in other groups were all in full swing.

Celtics 1-3 Knicks, and Hawks 1-3 Pacers.

This is all normal.

The Nets and Bulls, Nuggets and Warriors, Clippers and Lakers have all tied 2-2.

These three groups are unexpectedly anxious.

But what really shocked is the game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

After 4 games, the second-place Thunder in the West was actually behind the Grizzlies 1-3!

Judging from this situation, I am going to go to Hei Qi this year.

"I feel sorry for the Thunder for a minute. They lacked Harden and couldn't even enter the Western Conference semi-finals."

"Actually, Westbrook is missing. Westbrook was injured after the first game and didn't play any later. He didn't play any of the games lost by the Thunder."

"I feel sorry for Xiao Shuai for an hour. This should have been his MVP season."

"I feel sorry for Xiaoshuai for two hours. This once again failed to impact the shower water."

"I feel sorry for Xiao Shuai for three hours. I can't even get the chance to challenge the Spurs this year."

"Dang: I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals, and I can't do anything if you can't get in."

"Tang: It's okay, you don't need to win the championship if you want to take a bath. Even if you open your mouth, I took an advertisement that day and left a pot for you."

"A pot... is heartbreaking."

...

Because the potential opponents, the Clippers and Lakers have not finished playing, the Spurs have also ushered in a rare few days of rest.

"Tang, let's guess who will win 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 on this day, Green pulled Tang Tian to talk about his opponent's next matter.

"Lakemen."

Tang Tian gave himself the answer.

"reason?"

"Because they have Kobe."

Tang Tian replied with a smile.

Green was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

A very simple answer made him unable to refute it.
