Chapter 377 The Conflict Between Tang Tian and James (Second Update!)
"Reggie, who do you think will win this year's championship?"
In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith turned to Reggie Miller and asked.
This time it was the joint commentary of ESPN and TNT, and the five ace commentators sat side by side.
Barkley and O'Neill were already "on fire" because of the bet, and Smith turned to Miller and Brin who were on the sidelines.
"Um... the Spurs."
After thinking for a while, Miller gave a somewhat unexpected answer.
O'Neill immediately rolled his eyes at Miller.
Miller laughed, but went on to give his reasons.
"The performance of the Spurs in the last game is the reason for me to make this judgment. They overcame physical difficulties. After that, their experience will help them win the game."
"Mike, what do you think?"
Smith then asked Brin again.
Brin's answer is different from Miller's, he supports the Heat.
"I think whether it's experience, physical strength, or something else, this game is likely to enter the decisive moment. I think LeBron will end the game at the last moment."
Although Brin is not a professional player like the other four, he has the longest commentary career among the five.
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen too many pigs running, and his analysis is also in place.
After all, James boasted before that he would bring the Heat the second championship in team history, and he will definitely do his best to do it.
While the five were chatting, the starters of both sides had already appeared one after another.
Amid the wild cheers from the fans, Bosh turned the ball back to the Heat's half, and the tiebreaker officially kicked off!
The Heat attacked the frontcourt, James ran without the ball, Bosh blocked Leonard, and he went straight to Diao after receiving the ball.
Dior didn't resist, just dodged, and James scored with a one-handed dunk.
It was a slam dunk, and the atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena suddenly exploded.
The camera was given to Popovich who came to the sidelines for the first time.
However, Popovich was not as angry as expected, and even his expression didn't fluctuate much.
That's the Spurs' strategy for this game.
If you can't defend, you don't reach out, and if you do, you will foul completely.
The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, Parker stretched out his hands, and the team played very patiently.
After 20 seconds, the Spurs made an opportunity by continuously passing the ball, and Leonard made a three-pointer from the outside.
"Shua!"
hit.
There was a burst of restlessness from the fans on the sidelines.
The smooth cooperation of the Spurs made the Spurs fans excited, but it was too tortured for them.
This is just like playing 2K. Playing so much time in one round really makes people anxious!
And the key is scored!
This old man style of play is really not as violent and entertaining as star scoring.
In the Heat's offense, Wade hit Duncan in a misplaced position, and shot with a lever after he got up.
The referee blows his whistle.
Duncan hugged Wade directly.
After hugging, Duncan smiled and touched Wade's head.
James:?
But Wade was not angry and walked to the free throw line.
Both free throws were firmly in the frame, and it can be seen that he has adjusted very well in this game.
The Spurs attacked the frontcourt and cooperated patiently. Although Parker's shot missed in the end, 24 seconds passed.
The Heat played a defensive counterattack, and James' pass to Wade was destroyed by Tang Tian and went out of bounds.
The opening rounds basically became the epitome of the first half of the game.
The Spurs' tactical execution is really high. Although the Heat frequently hit the inside and scored a lot, the Spurs' fouls are well controlled.
And as long as the foul is thorough, there will be no chance for you to be punished at all.
On the offensive end, they also played like the Spurs in the 2013-14 season, with smooth cooperation and an extremely high offensive success rate.
After halftime, as predicted by Brin, the two sides tied at 55.
Both teams played an absolutely high-quality half.
"Be tough! Remember what I said earlier, draw their foul!"
Spoelstra yelled at the Heat in the locker room.
Among the Spurs' starters after the first half, Dior had the most fouls 3 times, and everyone else had 2 or less fouls.
It simply didn't meet his expectations.
In his opinion, this is also the reason why the Heat failed to open the score in the first half.
He originally just stood behind the Big Three of the Heat and commanded silently, but now he can't care about those things anymore.
"Yes, we must be tough."
James took the initiative to stand up and agree.
When he said this, he turned his head and glanced at Wade.
Obviously, Duncan's head-touching gesture at the beginning made him uncomfortable.
They are now opponents for the championship, that kind of action should not exist, and if it occurs, it should be rejected decisively.
Back in the second half, neither side made any adjustments in the starting lineup, and the tactics were similar to those in the first half.
The only physical confrontation that was different was the recovery of physical fitness after the half-time break, and every attack and defense was accompanied by the muffled sound of muscle confrontation.
When it really hits like this, the basketball game is not necessarily less intense than the football game.
The two sides continued to take the lead alternately, and the situation on the scene was extremely anxious.
In an attack by the Heat, James misplaced and faced Tang Tian. After three steps, he stepped on another step to dunk.
Tang Tian didn't complain that the referee didn't blow the whistle, and directly pulled James down.
James was very upset after being pulled down, and directly shook off Tang Tian's hand.
Because the arms of both sides were entangled, this move was a dangerous move for Tang Tian.
He held James' arm directly to prevent him from shaking it, and the two quickly became entangled.
And neither of them intends to let go. When the last two people start to spout trash talk, there will be a conflict in the next second.
Duncan and Wade came to them in time at this time and forcibly pulled the two of them apart.
James was still chattering, and he shook off Wade who was pulling him, with an unhappy expression on his face.
He has always been very restrained on the court, and at most he will confront people politely.
But the fierce atmosphere of the tiebreaker and Wade's head being touched obviously made him unable to control his emotions.
He can't afford to lose this game.
Tang Tian also looked unhappy.
Every time James walks, the referee turns a blind eye. How big is his foul?
First, he didn't punch his face, second, he didn't kick his balls, and third, he didn't hit his chest. The basketball game is hypocritical!
The game enters a technical timeout, and the referee needs to go to the technical station to watch the video replay to determine the final penalty.
Tang Tian walked off the field at this time and prepared to rest.
At this moment, he found that Popovich blinked at him and gave him a thumbs up.
No matter what the situation is, the head coach generally does not encourage players to conflict.
Popovich's move is still as skinny as ever!
