The sound of the whistle startled Stephen, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the referee. Who knew that the referee had sentenced Haslem to a defensive foul for the first time, and Stephen would make another penalty.

Huh?Stephen couldn't help but let out an exclamation. It's so strange that the referee suddenly became fair. Could it be that the league changed the referee in just this quarter? It shouldn't be. I haven't heard of it. There was a physical problem, and it was impossible to continue whining. Generally, it was impossible to change the referee, but Stephen looked at it. The referee was still the bald white old man, and the thin monkey-like black man was still standing on the sideline.

But even though it was strange, Stephen still made the free throw steadily, and finally got a free throw. If he missed the free throw, wouldn’t he be sorry for the kindness of the referee? After Robert Horry and Brent Barry’s persuasion, Stephen also changed his mind from The referee moves away and concentrates on the game itself.

Stephen insists on the current offensive method, and the Heat are still using Wade as the main offensive point. Similarly, the defense against him is still as long as there is a little physical contact, and he will be called for a foul, but Wade likes to shoot. When the time comes, lean on the defender.

Although it doesn't work every time, as long as there is one or two effects, who would dare to stick so close when he is about to make a shot? In this way, his shot is more and more open, and the shooting feel is getting better. come better.

During an attack, Wade happened to break through not far from Stephen. Ginobili was behind him, more than a step behind him. Wade suddenly jumped up and shot, but Stephen flew obliquely in the air. Blocked the ball one step ahead.

Since the two sides did not have any physical contact at all, and judging from the flight trajectory of the ball, it was far from reaching the highest point, so this was an undisputed block. Stephen had an idea because of this, and after discussing with Robert Horry, It changed the team's defensive strategy.

Originally, Ginobili was defending Wade, Stephen was defending James Posey, and Robert Horry was defending Antoine Walker, and the two switched defense targets on their own initiative.

James Posey's shot is mainly from outside the three-point line, and he occasionally breaks through. With Robert Horry's ability, he can also defend against it. Antoine Walker is even more familiar with Stephen, although he likes to shoot three-pointers Runs outside the line, but also has a lot of opportunities at the basket.

Stephen's idea is to see the direction of Wade's attack when he is at the basket, and try to limit Wade's shooting without physical contact. Of course, it is enough to prevent him from shooting as freely as before. However, Stephen didn't rely on this to limit Wade's performance as he did in the previous two games.

This is also a kind of double-teaming, but it is not a complete double-teaming. Double-teaming can easily cause defensive leaks. Wade also has good passing ability, but Stephen's mobility is very good. Antoine Walker's The speed of the shot was not very fast. When Wade saw Stephen appearing in front of him, he pushed the ball and immediately passed the ball to Antoine Walker.

But Stephen twisted his body quickly and came back to Antoine Walker. When Antoine Walker raised his hand to shoot, he suddenly knocked the ball out of Antoine Walker's hands and passed it to Ji Nobili, after Ginobili passed back to him again, he had already jumped into the air, caught the ball and dunked the ball directly into the basket.

According to statistics, in all the fast breaks of the Spurs, Stephen participated in more than 70.00%. Some of these fast breaks were formed when Stephen was not on the court. But imagine that as long as Stephen is on the court, basically every time Fast break, he is all participants.

On average per game, the Spurs can score 12 points with their fast break. Among the [-] teams, they can rank No. [-]. Last season, the Spurs ranked last in fast break points. Two, from this we can see Stephen's ability.

Whether it is steals or blocks, it is easy to cause fast breaks. Although the Spurs' defense was good in the past, it relied on the success of the system. About two steals and blocks.

After taking the fast break after grabbing the rebound, Stephen will participate in every fast break score of the team. When the Heat attacked again, Stephen blocked Wade's shot again. Searle cooperated to complete the fast break.

The two fast breaks also allowed the Spurs to tie the score. Pat Riley called a timeout very angrily, and called the players in front of him to curse, especially Wade. Pat Riley even accused him mercilessly. He, since the opponent is already in front, he should stop using the offensive method of shooting. A sudden layup made him foul, what is the shooting for?

Wade quickly learned his lesson. When he came on the court, he immediately rushed towards Stephen with the ball. Ginobili couldn't slow him down behind him. Although he made up his mind not to make contact with Wade, he rushed over directly. Naturally, Stephen would not back down and avoid it, but went straight to meet him.

Stephen was ready to be called a foul, but a figure suddenly appeared from a diagonal stab and knocked Wade to the ground from one side. Stephen fixed his eyes and found that it was Robert Horry who rushed over from one side. The referee naturally sentenced him to a foul, but when Wade made a free throw, Robert Horry said to Stephen unabashedly: "Remember, when a foul is unavoidable, make it harder so that he doesn't If you dare to continue to try, you don’t have to be afraid.”

Probably due to the impact, Wade missed the first free throw. When it came to the second free throw, after hearing Robert Horry's vicious words, his heart froze, and the free throw missed. Seeing that Wade made both free throws No, Robert Horry was still sarcastic there: "Look, this foul is worth it."

Everyone on the Heat side glared at Robert Horry. Robert Horry was not afraid and stared back at a group of people. When the Spurs attacked, Antoine Walker wanted to provoke Robert Horry. With a wave from Robert Horry, he swiped the ball across his fat face and knocked Antoine Walker to the ground.

Almost everyone thought it was a foul and the game would be stopped by the referee. Who knew that the referee signaled the game to continue. They didn't know what the referee meant. Anyway, it seemed to others that it was an obvious retaliatory action, but the referee As if you didn't see it.

Pat Riley was naturally unwilling, and went to appeal to the referee, but the referee told him that this was a normal action, and then Pat Riley made a gesture to indicate that Robert Horry could not see it at all when he was swinging the ball. To Antoine Walker next to him, Antoine Walker ran into it by himself.

Such indiscriminate words made Pat Riley very angry. If he hadn't seen the referee taking care of his own side in this game, Pat Riley would have taken the initiative to apply for a technical foul to stimulate his players, but he was also worried. If I talk too much, if the referee turns his face again, the loss outweighs the gain.

The referee does not need to favor one side every time, as long as he deflects one or two times at critical times, he can change the direction of the game, and the Heat can lead at the beginning of the game, thanks to the two consecutive fouls given by the referee to Stephen, which changed the situation of the game .

Although he received a warning from Robert Horry, when he attacked again, Wade continued to make a comeback. It was still a layup after a breakthrough, but when Robert Horry was about to foul, he suddenly accelerated. Robert Horry did not think of Wade at all. He could speed up again, and the foul was a little slower, and it hit Wade's hand after being shot by Wade.

Although Robert Horry's shot was still heavy, but this time Wade insisted on hitting the free throw, and the Heat once again led by three points, but after returning, Stephen also caused James Posey to make a two plus one, but it is a pity that Stephen missed the free throw.

You came and went to finish the second quarter. The Heat still only led the Spurs by one point. After the halftime break, the two teams went on the court again. Rest, played by O'Neal with half of the bench.

The lineup of the Spurs has also changed. Nesterovic, Robert Horry, Brent Barry, Ginobili, and Van Exel remain on the court. Weak lineup, and the development of the game is indeed like this. Although it can't stop the offense jointly launched by the Heat's O'Neal and Gary Payton, the Spurs' offense can't be restricted by the Heat. The scores of the two sides have been staggered up and down. , No one has the ability to widen the gap in the score.

More than half of the third quarter, Van Exel, who had been unknown until the finals, suddenly broke out without warning. First, he shot from outside the three-point line in front of Gary Payton. He scored a three-pointer, then completed a steal in the hands of Shanton Anderson, fast-breaked to the basket to score, and also caused a foul by Gary Payton, widening the gap to five points in one fell swoop.

As if stimulated by his performance, another veteran of the team, Brent Barry, who has always been a substitute on the bench, also hit from outside the three-point line, although O'Neal also hit Nesterov after he came back. Odd a two plus one, but he missed the free throw.

At this moment, Ginobili spat out his own poisonous letter like a spirit snake. He exploded and grabbed the rebound. He ran to his own half with the ball alone, and when the opponent was about to defend him at the basket. At that time, he suddenly stopped and fired from beyond the three-point line.

Turning back and intercepting Gary Payton's pass to Haslem in the middle of the ball, another fast break caused Shanton Anderson to foul, made two free throws, and at the end of the third quarter, the Spurs Expanding the score to eleven points made Pat Riley, who was planning to replace O'Neal, hesitate.
