The Spurs also considered that Stephen had been suspended for so long and must have been full of desire for the game, so they had no objection to Stephen's exclusive move, but were happy to see it. Stephen also used continuous hits to repay the trust of his teammates, which made Nesler exclaim: "Does the Spurs have to take the whole game with Stephen?" In this game, he played an opponent of the Spurs.

"If he can keep hitting, then why not!" Bill Walton said proudly. Nesler's conspiracy failed, which made him firmly stand on Stephen's side.[]

Not to mention the interaction between Bill Walton and Nessler, the game between the Spurs and the Rockets began to enter a new state after McGrady missed first. The two sides began to compete in defense, with a slow rhythm, a moderate pass, and a dull atmosphere began to permeate the entire Toyota Center Arena. Is this the Rockets game that I am used to? Rockets fans then opened the popcorn and drinks in their hands and began to focus on it.

Stephen made a three-pointer again outside the three-point line. When he scored less than half of the first quarter, he had already scored eleven points, and the shooting percentage was magical 100%, which made people amazed his condition. It seems that not participating in the game for several months, not only did he not let his condition go down, but his desire for the game made him even more fierce. With Stephen's dunk again, he seemed to have transformed into a real ferocious beast, raging under the Rockets' stadium. I believe that if it was replaced by the At&T Center Stadium, the stadium would definitely be shocked by his performance. Even if he went to other stadiums, he would not be as quiet as the Rockets.

When he missed the first time in this game, he had already scored seventeen points, and there was still more than three minutes before the end of the first quarter. At this time, the Rockets called a timeout. After the timeout, a tall figure appeared on the court, and the fans' reaction began to become enthusiastic. Compared to Stephen, Yao Ming returned to the court after more than two months. Stephen is in such a good state, which makes people look forward to Yao Ming's condition very much.

Yao Ming did not disappoint them either. After playing, his first offense did not cause a goal, but it caused Oberto's foul. Standing on the free throw line, Yao Ming had no fear at all. When the local free throws were made, the fans immediately cheered. When the Spurs entered, Tony Parker used Duncan's pick-and-roll and quick small steps to shake over Zhu Wan Howard's defense. A habitual small throw was just made, but a big hand was shot from the air.

It was Yao Ming, who contributed another block just now when he came on the court. Bill Walton immediately abandoned his position and promoted Yao Ming. He claimed to be a fan of Yao Ming, regardless of whether it is true or false. However, every time he commented on the Rockets game, he always praised Yao Ming with full praise, at least it means that his praise for Yao Ming is definitely not just a predecessor to a junior. At the same time, he once again raised concerns about Yao Ming's injury in the show, believing that with Yao Ming's height and weight, Van Gundy should pay attention to controlling Yao Ming's playing time to avoid Yao Ming being injured all the time. If he had too many minor injuries, he would not have achieved such an achievement.

Yao Ming is in very good condition. He is different from Stephen. Stephen is suspended, but he is injured. However, he has been out of the game for a long time, but he has not shown any strangeness to the game. The three touches on the court have caused points. Thanks to his performance, the Rockets also caught up with the score. Michael Finley's shot missed the basket. Yao Ming was about to accept the rebound, but a figure rushed into the air early, took the rebound, and then turned around and sent the ball into the basket. It was Stephen, who got twenty in one quarter.

In the second quarter, the Spurs were still in the previous rotation, and Stephen was still on the court, while the Rockets were led by Yao Ming, who led Lutherhead, Chuck Hayer, Sean Bathier, and John Lucas as substitutes. Van Gundy did not expect this group of substitutes to tie the score or lead the opponent. It would be nice to be able to keep the game away from being pulled apart. The low confrontational game is more suitable for Yao Ming to regain the feeling of the game.

But even such a lineup was leading the Spurs for a while. Stephen and Ginobili were still playing well, but Robert Horry and Elson's inside combination had no way to deal with Yao Ming. Elson was quickly beaten and ended up early. **Vic had to replace Jack Butler, but three fouls were sent in two minutes, which made **Vic very helpless. It made you foul and stop your opponent's attack at all costs, but it didn't make you so quickly.

Yao Ming scored 11 points in this quarter, and had 17 points, four rebounds and two blocks in the whole game. Stephen only scored nine points in this quarter, plus the first quarter, he had already scored twenty-nine points. For many players, this is a score that they could not get in the whole game, but for Stephen, it was just his efforts in the half game, and he was able to get it with a reduction in the second quarter.

The Spurs led by six points and entered the second half, but in the third quarter, McGrady seemed to be stimulated by Yao Ming and Stephen. After the opening, he scored six points in a row, helping the team tie the score. After Brent Barry helped the team lead again, Lutherhead assisted Alstom to shoot a three-pointer to overtake the score, and the Rockets began to enter the lead.

This game lasted until the end of the third quarter. The Rockets firmly controlled the situation of the game. The advantage of seven points and eight points made the Spurs unable to get closer no matter how hard they tried. The Spurs had experienced how difficult it was to catch up with a defensive team. In the past, this feeling was always something that other teams had when they met them.

In the fourth quarter, Stephen then stepped onto the court, and Yao Ming also returned to the court. He and McGrady formed the Rockets' strongest lineup and began to fight the Spurs. However, Stephen made two consecutive three-pointers as soon as he came on the court, leaving only one point left. Yao Mingqiang scored successfully against Duncan. After getting two points, Stephen came back to single McGrady and scored successfully. If the opponent was not McGrady, this time it would definitely be a two-plus-one penalty.

McGrady rarely broke through to the inside and glided to the basket and dunked. Such an offense is rare for him now, but his hard work still cannot stop the Spurs from overtaking the score. Stephen made another three-pointer, and then facing the camera, Stephen stretched out four fingers, which means he had already gotten forty, and he got forty in the first game of his comeback, which is enough to prove how good Stephen's ability is and how hot he is.

Yao Ming faced Oberto's top defense, but did not force him to take advantage of his footsteps, but used his continuous shaking to bypass his defense, and threw the ball into it with a small backward jump shot close to the baseline. He also scored more than 20 points in this game. For a player who was seriously injured and missed the game for more than two months and was missing training, this state was really rare. Bill Walton looked at Stephen and Yao Ming again, not knowing who should be praised.

However, neither of the performances ended here. Stephen did not participate in three consecutive offenses, but Yao Ming scored four points, increasing his score to twenty-five points. Rockets fans were also in contrast to their usual carelessness. Faced with Yao Ming's hot performance, even with their calmness, they could not continue to calm down. They stood up to cheer for Yao Ming.

The Rockets finally led by four points with Yao Ming's performance, but Stephen immediately stood up. For Rockets fans, Stephen today gave them a glimmer of hope, but he quickly deprived them of him. While he dunked after slipping through the baseline, he also caused Yao Ming's foul. This was one of the few direct duels for the two people in this game.

With a one-point lead, McGrady squandered this opportunity. When his pull-up jump shot was not strong enough, he could not maintain such a high shooting point, and his shooting percentage would decline. Although Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, after passing it to Alstom, Alstom wanted to pass it to Sean Bathier, but Sean Bathier was not ready to catch the ball. The ball was snatched by Ginobili, and then an alley relay cooperation with Stephen, proving to everyone that he is still the player with Stephen the most tacit understanding in the Spurs lineup.

Forty-five points, but Stephen's performance did not end here. After using Yao Ming and McGrady to attract the attention of the defense, Alstom used his best small throw to score two points, but after returning, Stephen also used the same small throw to fight back. Then the Spurs kept firmly controlling the situation and did not give the Rockets any chance.

But in the subsequent games, Stephen never took action and created opportunities for his teammates. Yao Ming scored another two points, increasing his score to 30. Many people thought that Stephen would continue to attack to 50, but Stephen did not deliberately pursue his score. However, the score of forty-seven points was already eye-catching and alarmed the entire league.
