The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 131 It's Time To Desperate

With a time of 14 seconds, Popovich didn't bother much, and positioned Zhang Xiaotian, who played well, as the first point.

Duncan received Leonard's serve and passed it to Zhang Xiaotian hand-in-hand.

Zhang Xiaotian held the ball and didn't attack immediately, and the Heat were also considering whether to attack him and force him to make a mistake.

But the scores of the two teams are now even. Danny Green has already fouled five times in order to defend Wade. They also have an advantage in physical strength in overtime, so there is no need to take risks.

When the time was up to 7 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian launched it. The Spurs' tactical arrangement was not to leave the opponent with a chance to attack.

Duncan came up to cover himself, and the cover was solid.

Zhang Xiaotian went inside as soon as he changed direction, and James quickly followed.

Although Duncan's screen was very good, James believed that Zhang Xiaotian was a breakthrough from the beginning, because the position of the screen was more than one step away from the three-point line.

This is also no way, the score is tied and the Spurs don't need to bet on three points, and if the screen is on the three-point line, it is more likely to be stopped by the opponent's two players.

Zhang Xiaotian did not charge with his head covered this time. When James stopped him, he made a knee-testing movement to pull the ball back, and then accelerated to the left again.

He came so twice, James almost vomited blood, pulled back and changed direction, that is to say, James forcibly changed his center of gravity twice to follow up with his extremely powerful muscle strength, and ordinary people would have been shaken.

But even so, James was thrown away halfway.

Wade reacted quickly, he didn't care whether Zhang Xiaotian was a minor player at this time, he left and rushed over to attack.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian forced a stop and threw the ball in the direction of the basket.

This is the second choice. If the two hits just now can take a step away from James, he will force a layup.

Zhang Xiaotian's body was also heavily burdened by that kind of movement. If he wanted to make a move at this time, he would definitely not be able to jump as high as before. With James's jumping, he did not discuss the distance limit of half a step.

Zhang Xiaotian threw the ball in the middle, James finally couldn't turn around anymore, he could only watch like Wade.

The penalty area was facing the direction of the backboard, and only a big man with a dull face stood on tiptoe and raised his arms to get the ball.

Bosh hurried forward to block it. At this time, Duncan seemed to be directly adjusted from slow motion to accelerated state in the video, and the whole person accelerated and jumped forward.

Bosh raised his arms high, but he was still a little slow. Duncan turned on the accelerator, and he still moved normally.

Stretching out his long arm, he abused the basket with one arm, and the huge force made the basket buzz.

Duncan dunk lore, stone Buddha is not old.

After the referee confirmed, there was still 0.8 seconds left, but the Heat had no timeout.

James caught the ball and threw it away, but the miracle didn't happen.

At 106:104, James scored 30 points in the air, and the Spurs won the match point, which is expected to end the series at home.

In this way, the Heat have stood on the edge of a cliff.

Now what they want is to return to the home court, and the Spurs generals hope to win faster.

After four games, the Spurs' physical advantage was gone.

Fortunately, before playing the last home game, they have two days to adjust.

Because the Heat changed their starting lineup before, the Spurs also made adjustments in training.

Because Zhang Xiaotian played against James in the last game, Popovich intends to let him start instead of Splitter.

But defending James, he dug a hole for himself.

After Popovich used James as the main defense and Leonard as the defensive tactic in the fifth game, Zhang Xiaotian could only weakly say, "Coach, I used too much force in the previous game, and now my muscles are sore. , may not be able to stand up to James."

"You mean you don't want to start, right? You can!" Popovich looked majestic.

Zhang Xiaotian immediately faltered, "I'll fight, I'll fight..."

Do you want to exchange for a defensive card, and take the name of the defensive gate.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaotian still felt that it was not worth it, and it might not be able to limit James to a certain extent if he exchanged it. It would be more cost-effective to attack the card.

In the finals, one more attack point is definitely more threatening.

He could only find Leonard in private and ask him to pay more attention after the game started.

It doesn't matter if you get blown up by James, the key is that the championship trophy that is only one step away cannot fly.

In fact, don't worry too much, Popovich will definitely adjust immediately when he finds that his condition is wrong.

It's just that it might make the old man angry and greatly increase his time on the bench.

Thinking of these, Zhang Xiaotian trained more seriously.

Compared with the Spurs, the atmosphere on the Heat's training ground is a bit depressing.

James had a dark face, and the others were not interested in talking.

Standing on the field is the assistant coach, and Spoelstra is still studying the video of the game in the room.

As the head coach, Spoelstra is still young, and after leading the team to win the championship, he was even more energetic. At first, some people said that he was Riley's puppet, but now he is gradually recognized.

But after falling behind 1:3 in the finals, his pressure was greater than that of the players.

Why can't they beat the Spurs with an aging core? Outsiders must think that his head coach is much worse than Popovich.

In the previous few games, the Spurs restricted James severely. As soon as James' offensive power rose, a ruthless character like Zhang Xiaotian appeared again.

No, it's not just Zhang Xiaotian, the Spurs' role players, Danny Green, Gary Neal, etc. are all bursting out one by one, but the Heat have fewer and fewer people available.

What to do, Spoelstra lost in thought with two dark circles under his eyes.

The game starts on June 6, and Spurs fans are already looking forward to the championship parade.

The staff is also ready to present the awards. Duncan didn't speak harshly this time, but everyone can see that the old guy is ready. If he explodes with all his strength, he will be no less threatening than when he was young.

Nights are long and dreams are many, and the Spurs players don't want to go to Miami at all, unless it's not a game, but a beach vacation.

Sure enough, the Heat formed a smaller lineup. With the aging of Duncan and Ginobili, the growth of Leonard, and the appearance of Zhang Xiaotian, the Spurs' offensive points became scattered, and it was not easy to focus on marking.

To win, there is only an attack, only a smoother and more powerful success.

Spoelstra decided to reduce the rotation personnel and play a small lineup completely. The starting lineup plus Ray Allen is almost the same, Battier can top it, and the inside and the first position that needs to hold the ball can be saved.

In the final battle, the Heat played very resolutely at the beginning, and Bosh took the lead in scoring points.

Zhang Xiaotian continued to defend James according to Popovich's request. James didn't make any effort at the first two goals, and Zhang Xiaotian was still secretly celebrating his luck.

But soon, Zhang Xiaotian felt what it was like to be hit by a car.

Without the bonus of strength and confrontation, James knocked him aside with a change of direction and acceleration.

This game is not easy to play.
