Chapter 181 Want to Chase! Can't Catch Up! (The 8th Update! Fang Yunling's Rewards Will Be Added!)

Apart from complaining, he was still a little angry.

If the management hadn't changed their mind at the beginning, such an outstanding 3D player would be like a tiger with wings added to the Heat!

It's a pity that they are now opponents, and they are joined by one of their main competitors of the season.

It really makes one feel like there's nothing to say.

Spoelstra couldn't wait for the ball to die, so he reached out and called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, on the Heat's side, Spoelstra put on the previous small lineup again.

Outside Wade Jia Miller, forward Shane Battier and James, center Bosh.

On the Spurs side, Popovich is also tit-for-tat, replacing with a small lineup, with Parker and Green on the outside, Tang Tian and Jefferson on the front line, and Splitter on the center.

The Heat's offense, with Miller and Battier spaced out on both sides.

Miller has already made 3 three-pointers tonight, and he feels as hot as Tang Tian. The Spurs dare not defend the 2-3 zone at this time.

After James asked for the ball in the low post, he directly signaled his teammates to come, and chose to single Jefferson.

James gained weight during the offseason. At this time, his weight was close to 125 kilograms, which was a full size bigger than Jefferson. He directly leaned on Jefferson's back to play.

In the Finals last year, James was targeted by the Mavericks quite miserably because of his lack of back-up skills.

At that time, he failed to hit Barea three times in a row, which became a big topic of discussion among fans after the finals.

Because of this, in the past long offseason, James has been practicing his back-up technique hard, and his progress has been obvious.

Although Jefferson is also full of muscles, he weighs nearly 20 kilograms less than James, and his confrontation is not at the same level.

After James exerted his strength, he obviously couldn't bear it.

James headed to the penalty area, turned around and scored a layup.

There was a commotion at the scene.

James' tank-style layup is already unsolvable enough, and another bull-style back shot is really hard to live.

Popovich reached out and rubbed his forehead with a somewhat helpless expression.

This style of play is really unreasonable.

The Spurs' offense.

The Heat's tactics changed a lot at this time. Instead of double-teaming the ball holder, they changed back to man-to-man.

Like the changes Miller brought to the Spurs' defense, Tang Tian's fiery touch also forced Spoelstra not to do that again.

Parker reached out to signal Zip's hammer tactics.

Parker's breakthrough passed to Tang Tian, ​​Battier turned around to defend, Tang Tian had no chance.

But Tang Tian didn't stop the ball, he gave the ball to Duncan, and then continued to circle the pick and roll.

After Duncan gave the ball to block Battier, Tang Tian caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The ball was a bit unlucky, knocked off the edge of the basket, and the rebound was picked up by Bosh.

Although he didn't enter, it also shocked Spoelstra into a cold sweat.

On the other side of the court, Popovich stood up a little excitedly.

Although the hammer tactics are complex and changeable, but because the end points are not moving, it is easy to be targeted by the opponent if you play too much.

As the inventor of tactics, Popovich is naturally aware of this, so he is also thinking about it while playing.

Tang Tian's tactical evolution just now directly gave him new inspiration.

It turns out that hammer tactics can continue to evolve!

The Heat's frontcourt offense, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post.

Jefferson used all his breastfeeding strength this time, but he couldn't hold back.

After James attracted Duncan's defense, he turned around and hoisted the ball to Bosh under the basket. Bosh scored a one-handed dunk.

The Heat chased for four points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

For the Spurs' offense, Tang Tian didn't wait at the bottom corner this time, and took the initiative to move around to Duncan's side to take a pass from Parker before making a shot.

"Shua!"

This time he seized the opportunity, and the three-pointer shot up and down.

Point difference, once again stretched to 7 points!

The cheers exploded at the scene, this is Tang Tian's fifth three-pointer in the first half!

Counting the three-point foul that made Miller before, Tang Tian actually made six three-pointers!

With 6 three-pointers in the half, Popovich really dared to give Tang Tian a chance, and Tang Tian really made it!

"Follow him!"

Spoelstra was a little angry. If it weren't for the three-pointers thrown by Tang Tian, ​​the Heat would be leading by 7 points now!

Battier ran forward with his head down.

He also wants to keep up! But Tang Tian weighed less than him and was faster than him. This kind of catch and three-pointer really couldn't catch up!

The Heat's offense, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post. At this time, Popovich shouted from the sidelines, and Tang Tian went to the basket to double-team James.

James has a high IQ, and he waited until Tang Tian came over before passing the ball to Battier.

The Spurs' help defense rotated, Battier gave the ball to Miller again, and Miller also made a three-pointer from the outside!

This is also his fourth three-pointer in the first half!

You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder!

Battier couldn't completely follow Tang Tian, ​​and the Heat let Wade switch defenses.

Wade could keep up, but there was another opportunity for Green, this time he finally seized the opportunity, and the three-pointer shot fell into the net bag!

Looking back, James hits back to the basket to attract double-teams and points Battier, and Battier also makes a three-pointer from the corner!

After both sides changed into small lineups, this is the beginning of three-pointers!

The scene of you coming and going, the fans watching the scene also had climaxes.

The viewing pleasure of this game has suddenly increased a lot.

The two teams have offense and defense against each other, and the point difference on the court has been fluctuating between 4 and 7 points.

In the last attack before halftime, James faced up to Jefferson's buzzer-beater and hit a layup. The Heat ended the halftime behind the Spurs by 2 points 46 to 48.

The two sides played evenly at halftime.

Spoelstra looked good, high-fiving the players one by one as they left the court.

Popovich frowned slightly, such a stalemate has never been what he wanted.

Originally, Tang Tian's several three-pointers had opened up the point difference, but James' strength abruptly pulled the score back.

If the two sides really meet in the finals, then James will give him more than one night of headaches.

During the 15-minute break in the midfield, the players on both sides returned to the locker room to rest, and the head coach also seized the time to make halftime summary and adjustments.

Popovich talked about some details of the first half of the game. Just as he was talking, he suddenly put down the pen in his hand and turned to look at Tang Tian.

"Can you guard LeBron? Go around and keep him from receiving the ball." He asked directly.

Tang Tian was taken aback for a moment.

This scene is somewhat familiar. When UConn played San Diego State University, Calhoun asked similar questions.

It's just that Popovich asked more directly than Cajon.

"LeBron is very difficult to defend now, but we can use the wheel to fight, go around, fight... all methods, his weight is heavier than before, which means that his physical strength will be exhausted faster, this is a way!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that his inspiration would disappear, Popovich then said quickly.
