The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 125 Back to Home
The Heat responded, but the real problem was the Spurs themselves.

Because I haven’t made it to the finals in several seasons, the big players tried their best in the first game. In the second away game, one was tired, and the other was that they didn’t have the energy. After winning a game, the mentality appeared. changed.

It's not that experienced old fritters will not have mentality problems. After the Spurs won, they were a bit too optimistic, and even forgot Duncan's age.

The current Spurs have shifted the focus of attack to the outside, but Duncan is still determined to be Poseidon, he is easy to be contained if he does not play the outside.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Ginobili, who was in poor form, was replaced. Danny Green, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian played together. The Spurs planned to seize the perimeter defense and give Zhang Xiaotian more opportunities on the offensive end.

The Heat's current No. [-] position is still Mike Miller. This is their strategy. Most of the time on the field, two to three shooters should be kept to open the space. It must be flanked, and the outside shooter will not let it go.

In other words, the shooter is actually serving James and Wade, whether they have a shot or not.

Zhang Xiaotian took the lead in hitting 2 points, but James, who had been inaccurate before, also hit 2 points.

Zhang Xiaotian hit Mike Miller again, and James also hit.

The unstable mid-range shots are all accurate, and James has survived on the offensive end.

But then, James chose to switch to Zhang Xiaotian. This is what he often does. Except for the big center, in important games, he often switches to the opponent who feels good.

This is admirable, but Zhang Xiaotian feels troublesome when encountering such a situation.

James' single defense ability is more than three levels better than Mike Miller's. The key is that his speed and strength are both higher than Zhang Xiaotian's. Zhang Xiaotian rationally called a screen.

However, ordinary screens really couldn't stop James. Zhang Xiaotian had no chance to break through and pass the ball to Leonard.

Leonard hesitated for a moment and lost his chance to attack. This guy was not top-notch on the offensive end. He was blocked by James and Wade in turn in the game today, which led to a lack of confidence now.

The attack time was approaching, Zhang Xiaotian reluctantly shot the iron.

He is the type who gets more and more courageous, so what about James, he will hit him with the next ball, anyway, there is Leonard on the defensive end, and he doesn't believe it if they fight together.

At this time, James broke through the pass again, and Ray Allen hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

It's not that the Spurs didn't pay attention to the defense, but that James shredded their defense with a breakthrough.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't hesitate anymore, he asked for the ball again during the attack, this time he didn't pass it out after getting the cover, but squeezed in with extra firmness.

He suffered a bit in strength, but it didn't matter. After the confrontation, he looked a little staggered, but in fact he was extremely relaxed. The ball was thrown out of his hand and fell into the basket with a swipe.

He hit it, and Zhang Xiaotian's confidence was greatly boosted.

But then James hit a three-pointer, and his touch is getting better and better.

There is still a chance, Zhang Xiaotian secretly encouraged himself, but he did not expect that the Spurs suddenly had a problem.

First, Splitter made a mistake and was intercepted, and then Parker made a mistake and was intercepted. Splitter hit the basket and was capped by James.

In just over a minute, the Spurs went from being 10 points behind to 20 points behind.

The American Airlines Arena was full of joy and laughter, but the Spurs had reached a desperate situation.

At this time, only 4 minutes passed in the fourth quarter, and it was an away game. Popovich immediately chose to give up and defended players who had never played before.

The old man thought about it, but still left Zhang Xiaotian on the field.

Zhang Xiaotian had the urge to use cards again for a moment, but then he calmed down. What he needs is a championship, and there is no need to use all his means in one game.

But he will not give up on this, and he will go all out in the next time.

The Heat are different. Not only did they not replace the main players, they also replaced Wade, who was resting, into the strongest lineup, because they can't afford to lose.

Zhang Xiaotian and James fought for another 4 minutes, until Popovich replaced him, and then the Heat also replaced the main players, so that the players on the bench who had not played before were refreshed.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 16 points and 8 rebounds in this game, but it doesn't mean much after losing.

But the battle is not over, and then they will return to San Antonio.

"After a loss, there is often a rebound," Parker said again on behalf of the Spurs. "Now it's our turn to deal with the loss. Let's see how we rebound."

However, many people don't believe this kind of statement. Now the mainstream view of the outside world believes that the Spurs are indeed old. Although Parker is still in his prime, the GDP is no longer the GDP of six years ago.

The youngsters hadn't fully grown up yet. In the first game they just took advantage of their physical strength, and they struggled so much that they couldn't hold on in the second game.

So what if James is restricted on the offensive end? James is more than just a means of scoring, and when it comes to the most critical time, the means of restriction don't work.

The Spurs were abruptly overwhelmed by the strength of the Heat. Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian combined cannot compare with Paul George, let alone against James.

Moreover, the Pacers were able to play seven games against the Heat because of the downturn of Wade and Bosh. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Spurs won the first game, but they can only win that one.

Limit James' scoring and still can't win, so what a fart.

On Zhang Xiaotian's social media, a large group of people have already been scolded by rumors.

He was very arrogant before, and still offended many people, and the theory of cancer began to appear again. He played singles on the court, and the Spurs' score fell into the abyss at that time.

Zhang Xiaotian was speechless, how could he, a small substitute, get such a lofty title as Tumor.

However, the team is very united. They understand the problem very well. The Heat are indeed their archenemy. The two teams have similarities. James is a big problem, but the biggest problem is James pairing with Ray Allen and others A solid shooter.

Breakthrough points, a very simple tactic, the Spurs also play, but the Spurs' three-pointers are not as good as the opponent's. Only Danny Green can be regarded as a stable shooter.

Moreover, although the Spurs play as a team, they need to have the ball in their hands for several attack points. GDP, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian are all there. It is more difficult to match them than the Heat.

But if it is well matched, it is obviously stronger than the Heat's offensive power, because the Heat's role players rely more on James and Wade's points.

In the finals, any wrong response may change the result.

In a tense atmosphere, the third game started at the Spurs' home court.
