267 Create A Sense Of Presence (2/5)

Chapter 267 Playing a Sense of Presence (25)

13 points behind at halftime, still in the Heat's away game, this is obviously not good news.

"Tim, attack the basket more, Manu, you start the second half, drive more."

Popovich is someone who has seen big scenes. Although he was behind, he did not lose his footing.

Tang Tian is also listening seriously now.

James played very vigorously in the half, maybe he will be like this throughout the game, but the inside is still the weakness of the Heat.

Popovich made the right choice.

"Don't be afraid of losing. Losing or winning is acceptable tonight, but you must show your presence."

Before departure, Popovich gave the Spurs players a rare refill of chicken soup.

As a master of chicken soup, Tang Tian felt that Popovich's words were low in motivation, but they were also very practical.

It's impossible for them not to let the Heat win a game, but no matter whether they win or lose, they must play a sense of presence!

Back in the second half, the Heat are still in that lineup.

But the Spurs have changed to a brand new starting lineup.

Diaw did not appear in the starting lineup, but Ginobili replaced him instead of Green.

This is the first time Popovich has put out such a lineup.

"The Spurs are actively seeking change." Breen said after seeing the Spurs' starting lineup for the second half.

"They need to change. If they continue to play like this in the first half, they have a very small chance of winning tonight." Miller opened his mouth and analyzed.

"Do you think this is useful?" Brin asked along the way.

Miller thought for a moment and shook his head.

The new lineup of the Spurs is obviously aimed at improving the offense, but James is in such a good state tonight, if he fights the offense, the Heat are worth it.

And even if the Spurs tried their best to get the score back in this quarter, their physical strength declined in the fourth quarter, and they still lost in the end.

Popovich obviously knew this too, and his expression was more serious.

But just like what he said during the halftime break, since the game has been played like this, there is still a chance to fight hard now. If they play step by step, they really have no chance in the fourth quarter.

According to Popovich, he has played badly for Duncan once in his life, and he will not easily admit defeat.

Back in the second half the Spurs took the lead.

In the TD.step hammer tactic in the frontcourt, Ginobili catches the ball and shakes Wade away, breaks through in a snake shape and kills to the inside and gives it to Duncan.

After Duncan received the ball, he hit the high board.

The Spurs took the lead in scoring in the second half.

Ginobili's breakthrough was a little more agile than Parker's, which also made the Heat more unpredictable.

But looking back, James returned the favor with a four-step layup with small steps.

Still a difference of 13 points.

Just like Miller's analysis, James is in such a good state tonight that the Spurs don't have much advantage in fighting against each other.

Manu Ginobili made a strong frontcourt rush to the basket and gave it to Parker. Parker took the ball and swayed Chalmers to continue to the basket.

The Spurs had a clear goal in the second half and went straight to the inside of the Heat.

Bosh defended Parker's top layup and was called a foul.

Parker made two free throws and the Spurs continued to chase points.

After James broke through to attract double-teams, he gave the ball to Bosh, and Bosh also made a rebound shot.

In the first five minutes of the second half, the two teams fought against each other, and no one could defend the other, and the point difference has been fluctuating back and forth between 11 and 13 points.

The fans at the scene were hooked, but Miller and Breen in the commentary booth couldn't help shaking their heads.

The Spurs weren't even close, which was worse than they expected.

It can only be said that the Heat's state tonight is really good.

"Should I take LeBron off for a rest?"

At this moment, Fizdale spoke to Spoelstra and suggested.

Although James has good physical strength, he has been attacking from the beginning to now, especially when he came back from the second half.

Taking advantage of the point difference to stabilize, it happened to be replaced by him to come down and rest for a while.

Spoelstra shook his head.

A point difference of 11 to 13 points is not safe, and the risk of replacing James at this time is not small.

This game is too critical, he can't take the risk.

With a 13-point difference on the field, Ginobili missed a three-pointer with a step back, and Bosh grabbed a defensive rebound.

Now the Heat have the opportunity to continue to expand the score.

James continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

After a sudden start after the crotch on the spot, James pushes away Leonard and continues to rush in.

But at this moment, Tang Tian released Battier who was in the bottom corner and came directly to help defend.

This is a gamble of supplementary defense.

James flicks the ball to Battier.

Battier's open corner three-point opportunity.

The eyes of the fans are full of anticipation.

The Heat's role players in the playoffs have been poor this year, but Battier is the only one who can be trusted.

And this is the corner three-pointer he is best at.

Battier's first three-pointer of the game.

The ball is shot, and the trajectory looks very positive.

The cheers are ready to come out.

"boom!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop!

James played a lot tonight, the role players didn't have many shots, and Battier's hands were obviously not warmed up.

Duncan protected the defensive rebound.

The Heat retreated quickly and did not give the Spurs a chance to attack.

Ginobili signaled Tang Tian to come over for the pick-and-roll, and after the pick-and-roll, he faced Battier and sped up.

Limited by weight and moving speed, Battier's low-post defense and defense against shooting-oriented players are very effective, but the effect on breakthrough players like Ginobili is mediocre.

The Heat have a help defense.

At this time, Tang Tian took the initiative to find Leonard's running position after the pick-and-roll.

Ginobili split the ball in a double-team. He and Tang Tian flirted with each other for a season, showing a sense of tacit understanding.

Tang Tian made a quick three-pointer after catching the ball.

The key shot.

"Shua!"

A three-pointer hits the net!

Since the start of the finals, Tang Tian has never been soft on key shots!

The point difference came to 10 points!

The scene was restless.

A three-pointer is nothing, but Tang Tian made the three-pointer. They still remember Tang Tian's quasi-killing three-pointer in the first game!

James continued to attack in the frontcourt, Tang Tian continued to assist in defense, and James continued to pass the ball.

However, after predicting the ball in advance, Leonard saved it and cut the ball halfway!

A successful defense!

The Spurs immediately pushed back and Ginobili advanced with the ball.

Tang Tian followed up from the right at this time.

James shouted to defend Tang Tian while retreating.

During the regular season, Tang Tian scored 6 consecutive three-pointers in the halftime. He was very impressed.

Chalmers flew towards Tang Tian.

Wade saw Ginobili mainly defending against his breakthrough.

But at this time Ginobili chose to stop for a three-pointer.

Wade's judgment was biased, and the save was slower.

The ball was shot, and the hearts of all the fans at the scene hung up.

"Shua!"

A heavy punch hit the heart directly, and Ginobili's chasing three-pointer also scored!

The point difference came to 7 points!

The stalemate for almost half a quarter was finally broken!

Popovich nodded with satisfaction from the sidelines.

The sense of presence he wanted finally came out after Tang Tian and Ginobili scored consecutive three-pointers!
