Howard broke through Whiteside's defense in the air and then scored with a head-on dunk! It also caused a foul on Whiteside!

This suddenly made the momentum of the Spurs' home audience stagnate, and when Whiteside blocked Howard's dunk with both hands, Spurs fans were ready to cheer for Whiteside, but Howard actually killed out of Whiteside's breakthrough, and played a "2+1" by the way!

Of course, it's hard to say whether that "1" can go in, after all, Howard's free throws are notoriously inaccurate.

"Bang~"

Sure enough, the muscular Howard missed the free throw, and Whiteside grabbed the rebound in front of Jones.

If he can't score, Whiteside has nothing to lose except for being fouled......

Qin Yan controls the ball, just now the Spurs changed, Mills replaced Maddy, as an offensive point guard, Mills's passing skills are average, so when he controls the ball now, he can only be Qin Yan who goes up to control the ball first.

But fortunately, Qin Yan's ball control skills are not bad, and in passing, Qin Yan's talent is also very high, at least he will not lose to Harden later.

So it's not unreasonable to say that Qin Yan and Harden have become good buddies, these two are too similar, of course, there are still differences in personality, that is, Qin Yan is very self-disciplined, and Harden loves to play.

Well, now that Maddie is not there, Qin Yan is in control of the ball, and Harden is also in control of the ball opposite, and both of them have a very powerful air receiving partner, and the two of them are really good to look at.

At this time, the air battle of the center also depends to a large extent on the passing skills of these two ball carriers.

"Hassan, rush, just follow the tactics, and I'll get you back on the field."

Qin Yan slapped Whiteside on the back, and then controlled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.

Whiteside ran together from the other side, always keeping pace with Qin Yan.

Of course, Howard knew what Whiteside and Qin Yan were doing with such a rush, so he also ran back desperately.

After all, if an air relay is successful, how much impact it will have on the team's morale, Howard knows better than anyone else.

Harden is good at everything now, but he doesn't defend, oh no, he was still defensive when he was playing sixth man with the Thunder, but since he was elbowed by Artest to open the second vein of Rendu, Harden has not worked defense.

Qin Yan burst into the inner line, and at this time, Howard just returned to the three-second zone to sit down, and when he saw Qin Yan directly inserting himself into his hinterland, Howard didn't care that he hadn't just run back and hadn't stood firm, so he pounced directly.

Qin Yan braked suddenly, and then turned around quickly, he grasped the timing very well, just when Howard pounced, Qin Yan turned around and dodged, and just drilled under Howard's armpit!

"Damn it!" Howard was shocked, this guy is a thief, he can still play like this!

After Qin Yan got out of Howard's armpit, he didn't continue to break through, but smashed the ball to the ground hard, and the basketball hit the ground and bounced high!

Whiteside ran over from the other side, and as soon as he saw the ball bounce off the ground, Whiteside jumped up directly, grabbed the ball in the air and staged a crotch change, and then a heavy split!

"Boom!"

Whiteside grabbed the basket with one hand, and the whole person was swinging high, the ball was dunked very crisply, and the frustration of Howard's foul just now was swept away.

"Don't hang it, go back to defense!"

Qin Yan shouted, it was really cool to hang with one hand, but the problem was that now both teams were fighting for offensive firepower, and Whiteside was not doing anything if he didn't hurry up and retreat at this time.

After hearing this, Whiteside hurriedly jumped down, Qin Yan was right, now is not the time to be handsome, you have to count on him to feed the cake.

On the Rockets' side, Harden and Howard also quickly received the baseline ball and then advanced it at high speed.

Howard's face was a little unbearable, Whiteside's dunk just now was his fault, he shouldn't have save, and as a result, Qin Yan passed a ball that was so freehand.

So this time, Howard blocked Harden, and according to the tactics, he went straight down to prepare for the ball after the pick-and-roll.

But this time it was a little uncomfortable, because the Spurs quickly changed defenses after blocking and dismantling, Whiteside directly covered Harden, and his long arms directly locked Harden's passing route.

But after all, Harden is not necessarily a superstar, and this difficulty is still difficult for him.

With a shake, Harden passed the ball out of Whiteside's armpit.

As soon as Howard saw the ball coming, he immediately jumped, and he was ready to slam a slam dunk to vent his anger.

But what he didn't expect was that he jumped up here, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and then the basketball was gone!

"Qin?"

That's right, because of the change of defense, the person who stood in front of Howard was Qin Yan, and Harden's pass was clearly seen by Qin Yan, and he jumped up and fished the ball down.

"Attack!"

As soon as he got the ball, Qin Yan took the lead and rushed forward, and the whole Spurs team also followed, after all, the lineup on the field now can run. (The old guys take turns or rest on the bench)

Qin Yan passed the ball to Leonard, who was running at the front, and after Leonard got rid of Parsons with a dodge move, he struck the basket at full speed!

But at this time, a black whirlwind blew past Qin Yan violently, and the huge force made Qin Yan almost knocked down.

Howard! This guy deserves to be a Warcraft, it's really fast!

"Kehuai, be careful!"

Leonard just slowed down and made a three-step layup at this time, Qin Yan couldn't get over for a while, so he could only remind him.

But Howard, this guy seems to have triggered the skill of "Hat Chaser" in an instant, and he chased after it all of a sudden, and slapped the basketball at the moment Leonard made a move!

"Peng—"

The basketball was shot off, hit the rebound directly and bounced back!

"Hey!"

Whiteside just chased after him and caught the bounced ball.

Now Whiteside was overjoyed, and with a good opportunity, he jumped up directly with a force on his feet!

"Damn it!" Howard's alertness was still very high, and he instantly felt that someone was jumping up behind him, and in order to avoid being blocked, he could only flash to the side first.

"Boom!"

Whiteside dunked hard, Howard flashed fast and was not dunked, but Whiteside's dunk just made up for the loss of morale when Leonard was hatted a few seconds ago.

"Hassan-Whiteside!!"

Now the fans are crazy, and they were originally sorry for Leonard, but Whiteside's dunk made them excited again!

After this dunk, Whiteside made a challenging move at Howard.

Come, come, who's afraid of whom!

Howard is also happy to fight, okay, if you want to play, I'll accompany you!

In the next time, the two will compete for air supremacy in the air, if you deduct one, I will return one, and if you dare to cap, I will dare to grab the frontcourt rebound and attack twice, and do not give in to each other!

But in all fairness, Howard still has a little advantage, but Whiteside relies on the help of Qin Yan and others, and he is not too far behind.

The scores of the two teams did not change much at halftime, and the Spurs still maintained their lead, although the lead was not much, but it still pressed the Rockets in the end.

Don't forget, this lineup is just the remnants of the Spurs, and the Rockets on the opposite side are now all out of the hole......
