The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 388 First Battle 2
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the substitute lineups of the two sides played in rotation, which was not the same.

On the Heat's side, Antoine Walker played very well, beating Robert Holly.

But in the same way, under the Spurs' overall tactical play, Brent Barry and Hawley also played well.

Especially Ginobili, who brought the Spurs off the bench, completely played the aura of a superstar.

Even if Lagabel tried his best, he couldn't press Ginobili down.

Fortunately, Brad Miller has played a role, whether it is outside support or by himself, he has gained something.

Let's put it this way, the Spurs don't have Duncan inside, so it's not just him playing?

At the end of the halftime game, 52:54, the Heat trailed by 2 points, which is about the same.

In the half game, Chen Mo only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Bruce Bowen's defense was not ineffective.

Duncan also scored 11 points and 5 rebounds in the half, which can be regarded as a satisfactory performance.

It can be said that the core players on both sides did not completely let go of the game, but kept trying.

After all, it was the first time the two teams met in the playoffs, and it was also on the stage of the finals, so it is always right to be careful.

"Chen, you will lead the offense in the second half, Brad, more pick-and-rolls for Chen."

……

After testing for half the game, Stan Van Gundy felt that it was almost done, and planned to launch a general attack on this.

No, at the beginning of the game, Chen Mo took advantage of Brad Miller's pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer unexpectedly.

55:54
Looking back, facing Haslem's defense, Duncan turned over and hit a jumper.

55:56
The Spurs also plan to attack in the third quarter, and the core of the offense is also Duncan.

It's just that the Heat were already prepared, and Brad Miller began to double-team.

As for the defense against Muhammad, it was naturally Chen Mo.

Muhammad and Bruce Bowen, if you really want to go short, it's no big deal.

As the fourth and fifth offense in the Spurs' starting lineup, the Heat can't wait for them to take more shots.

Sure enough, Bruce Bowen forgot to bring a scope because he was only busy targeting Chen Mo today.

He made 3 of 0 shots in the first half, and missed another three-pointer at the beginning of the second half.

Gary Payton grabbed the rebound and started to push the fast break directly. Chen Mo caught the ball and rushed inside to cause a foul.

Two free throws were made, 57:56.

I have to say that the Heat's change really worked, and Bruce Bowen and Muhammad missed opportunities one after another.

In the end, Bruce Bowen didn't dare to make a shot, and wanted to pass the ball when he got the ball. After such a hesitation, Chen Mo had already made up for it.

The third quarter lasted 3 minutes and 46 seconds, and the Heat played a 14:5 spurt, instantly opening the score.

66:59
Popovich came to the sidelines anxiously, his brows already wrinkled together.

It's not that he never called a timeout, but unfortunately, the effect was not good, and he failed to hold down the Heat's scoring momentum.

In other words, even if everyone was watched, Chen Mo could still score the ball.

There is no way, Duncan can be double-teamed, but even if Chen Mo is double-teamed, he can still handle the ball easily.

This is the difference between the inside and outside cores. Inside players are always more afraid of being double-teamed.

Duncan was double-teamed, and Ginobili's breakthrough was blocked, so he had no choice but to pass the ball out.

Seeing that there was not much time left, he thought that the Spurs could only do the same as before and rush to make a hasty shot before the time was up.

However, what people didn't expect was that with less than 5 seconds left, Parker was still a breakthrough.

Gary Payton was a little dazed, that is, at this moment, Parker directly completed the breakthrough.

A short-range throw, Haslem jumped up desperately but failed to block the shot, and could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.

66:61
Popovich's eyes lit up on the sidelines, as if he was planning something.

The Heat attacked. This time, Chen Mo didn't have a good chance and passed back to Brad Miller.

Brad Miller made a mid-range shot and missed the shot.

On the Spurs side, Popovich yelled directly at the players on the field, seeming to be arranging tactics.

Sure enough, the Spurs' tactics changed.

The tactics that originally used Duncan as the core directly changed. Duncan took the initiative to pick and roll Parker.

The French sports car is indeed a French sports car. Facing Haslem, it almost broke through in one step.

Before Haslem caught up, Parker made a layup with a low hand and easily scored the ball.

66:63
Today's Parker, although still a little unstable, already has the demeanor of the MVP of the Finals two years later.

Two consecutive breakthroughs and scoring made Gary Payton a little confused, and it turned out to be the third time.

"Di!"

This time, Gary Payton made a big move and was called a foul by the referee.

Not in a hurry, just unwilling, and very unwilling.

Not only beauties lament their poor fate, but generals will also mourn their gray hair.

Gary Payton is full of powerlessness, a real feeling of having more than enough energy but not enough energy.

If it was placed two years ago, Gary Payton would still have confidence even in the face of the peak Parker.

But now, it really doesn't work.

Facing the tall vacancy, with experience and body, Gary Payton can barely handle it.

It's just that, if you switch to a speed guard, he really can't do anything at this time.

No, Stan Van Gundy did not hesitate, but directly made substitution adjustments.

Blake replaced Gary Payton.

Although Blake is not good at speed, it's just that he is younger and more determined.

It's a pity that Stan Van Gundy obviously underestimated Parker, and even Blake was powerless.

Parker is not the kind of player who is purely speedy. His tricks are popular all over the world, and his skills are also good.

Whether it is a breakthrough to score points or a breakthrough to score the ball, he has performed very well.

At 8 minutes and 36 seconds into the third quarter, the Heat requested a timeout again.

There is no way, there is still no way to solve Parker's problem.

Especially as Parker hit the Heat's defense, Duncan and Ginobili were liberated along the way.

76:77
No, the score that was finally opened was not only recovered, but the Heat fell behind by one point.

Defensive issues are completely unsolvable.

If it weren't for Chen Mo throwing four three-pointers in a single quarter, it is estimated that the score would be even bigger.

"Defense, our defense sucks, we can't let that little guy run wild.

……

And the offense, Chen did a good job here, but the others need to step up too, we need to score more. "

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Put Mo Williams on and replace Steve."

Dare to intervene when Stan Van Gundy is laying out tactics, or some command-like words, you don't need to ask to know who it is.

Who else but Pat Riley?

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Stan Van Gundy's eyes, but his body was very honest, so he said quickly.

"OK, Mo Williams, you will replace Steve next."
