The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 124 The Struggle of GDP

When Zhang Xiaotian faced James for the first time, he was abused badly. Before the finals, he thought about getting it back, but he just thought about it.

In terms of player characteristics, Leonard is undoubtedly more suitable for James.

At the last moment of the game, when James switched to Zhang Xiaotian, he didn't see it.

Zhang Xiaotian had already thought about what to do when he called for the screen, and now he only has the basket in his eyes.

He shot without hesitation, with a standard shooting posture, without even the slightest tremor.

A season of training, several outbreaks at critical moments, Zhang Xiaotian's confidence in the final period of the game is overwhelming, he is the best key player.

James tried his best to jump up and block it, as if he caught a trace, but he didn't seem to get it.

But this has been able to interfere with the defense of many players, but James did not see any fluctuations in Zhang Xiaotian's eyes, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Looking back, the basketball just fell into the basket.

A three-pointer was hit, 91:86, and the Spurs led by 5 points.

"Game over!" Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help spit out two words gracefully the moment he landed on the ground and saw James.

James was furious. This unknown person dared to speak wild words.

Well, James is actually used to trash talking. What he can't stand is that the score is behind at the last moment.

Even if he has already won the championship, the Spurs are still in his heart, and he doesn't want to lose.

In the next attack, James rushed in like an angry bull, and Leonard was directly knocked off his face, which was incredible.

However, the Spurs' defense has always been in a state of recovery when James breaks through, otherwise he would not have so many assists, but this time he wants to go hard.

Leonard was a little unaccustomed to being knocked away without any reaction.

But experienced bosses are different. Manu Ginobili rushes over just to be ruthless, and fouls in the name of cutting the ball are ruthless. The words "quick, accurate and ruthless" must be at least ruthless, otherwise they will get 2+1. The hidden explanation is that free throws will not be so accurate if you hit a pain.

James stabilized his emotions and made two free throws with only 30 seconds left.

The Spurs leading by 3 points must be pressing time, but the Heat's plan is to defend against another one.

This is also no way, the Spurs' free throws are not bad if there is a foul.

Parker holds the ball, and Zhang Xiaotian has nothing to do at this time.

When it was almost the last 7 seconds, Leonard came up to cover, and Parker accelerated and killed him. James had already expected Parker's movement, and directly bypassed Leonard to block him.

But someone is more familiar with Parker than James, and that is Duncan.

Duncan took a step ahead and blocked at a 45-degree angle on the edge of the penalty area, which happened to delay James. Parker took the opportunity to make a shot and scored.

The defense failed, and the time was less than 10 seconds, and the Heat were already in a desperate situation.

The meaning of the timeout lies in the midfield serve. Unless there is a miracle, they will be too late.

James had no chance after receiving the ball and had to give it to Wade, and Wade had no chance to be forced to make a two-point shot.

Missed, Bosh desperately grabbed the rebound, and there was not enough time to pass outside, James barely made a shot, and the whistle for the end of the game also blew.

93:87, the first game of the peak matchup, the victory belongs to the Spurs.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 20 points in 13 minutes, which is very efficient.

After winning the first game, the Spurs are full of confidence, and the comparison is certain.

"We are enjoying the game." Parker said, "We enjoy every moment and don't take anything for granted, because it has been 6 years (from the last finals), and we are very excited after the Grizzlies."

Heat forward Sean Battier didn't buy it, "Don't trust them." Battier said on social media, "They are a very competitive team, they can't relax for a second, they are all killers , and they'll step over you if they have to. So do we."

Zhang Xiaotian stood up to spread hatred, saying that the championship could only belong to the Spurs.

However, his actions were considered to be a conspiracy. Experts analyzed that the Spurs wanted to attract the attention of the Heat to Zhang Xiaotian, so that the big guys could play easier, and Popovich was innocent.

The second game will be played on June 6th, and the Heat must fight. The next three games will be played at the Spurs' home court. If they fall behind by 9:0, it will almost be a death sentence.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were very defensive against players who were afraid, and the two teams also had this strength.

Duncan and Parker on the Spurs' side, James and Wade on the Heat's side, didn't get any good opportunities.

The role players took the opportunity to stand up, the Heat's Mario Chalmers made a three-pointer and made a breakthrough, and the Spurs fired from outside the three-point line by Danny Green.

When the three-pointer is accurate, Danny Green is Popovich's favorite role player, but when it is not accurate, Popovich can't help but let him sit on the bench.

The two teams still performed equally well. In the first half, the Spurs still gave a few more players a chance.

Popovich's usual routine, if someone feels hot and stands out in the second half, he may continue to play, otherwise only Ginobili and Zhang Xiaotian can get a chance.

At this time, players like Gary Neal with decisive shots are easy to get points, and others are hard to say. As long as you hesitate, the Heat's defense will be posted, unless you have good singles ability and are handsome Otherwise Popovich will scold people.

The rotation time, but the Heat are more dominant, especially inside, the Spurs players like Diaw and Matt Bonner can come up to enjoy the game in the past, but they have no effect on the Heat's style of play. , but the opponent, Chris Anderson, who can jump and jump, can get a chance.

The Spurs trailed by 5 points in the first half. What impressed them most was that the Heat strengthened their interior defense. In addition to Bosh, James actually blocked Duncan in the interior defense. In the past, it was impossible for Duncan to be hated like this when he abused the basket head-on.

In fact, the strategies of both sides have succeeded. The Spurs defense made James very uncomfortable on the offensive end, and James made many Spurs uncomfortable on the offensive end.

After all, the threat of the Spurs Parker and Ginobili came out after a breakthrough. What James did was actually the same as Leonard did, but James was even more imposing.

By the third quarter, before Duncan showed his power, the Spurs knew that today's game was dangerous.

Leonard began to increase the number of offenses, but on the offensive end, the gap between him and James was a bit bigger, and he was blocked by James.

Popovich looked serious and asked Parker to adjust after playing for 3 minutes. When he found that it was still not working, he replaced Ginobili, and then replaced Zhang Xiaotian.

It is rare for GDP to strike all the iron. Zhang Xiaotian bit the bullet and held the ball in singles. After three quarters, the team fell behind by 10 points.
