Chapter 237 G1 Victory
After returning from the timeout, the Spurs slowed down their offensive rhythm.

And instead of looking for opportunities from the outside, they handed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan got the ball at the free throw line, rock solid, looking straight at Haslem.

He suddenly made a feint, broke through directly, and used his body to force Haslem.

Of course, Haslem's body couldn't bear it.

Li Lei observed this scene, approached him ahead of time, and immediately rushed forward to help defend.

Duncan was blocked by the two, a fake shot destroyed the center of gravity of Haslem and Li Lei, and then he made a real shot directly.

Li Lei and Haslem have absolutely no choice, because after all, Duncan has a huge height advantage.

Swish!
The basketball goes through the hoop.

Duncan finally scored the first goal for the Spurs.

6: 2.

"A sports car in good times and adversity in Buddha, the Spurs have to rely on Duncan at critical moments."

Zhang Weiping instructed.

Su Qun nodded: "Yes! Duncan is too strong. Look at his playing. There is no fancy tricks. They are all simple technical moves, but he can score goals. His basic skills are too solid."

Zhang Weiping: "So, O'Neal's nickname for Duncan is a big basic skill. In terms of solid skills, Duncan is one of the best in NBA history."

The Heat attack.

Wade still wanted to force Parker, but Ginobili and Bowen approached Parker subconsciously and did a good job in assisting defense.

But in this way, it gave the rest of the Heat a chance.

Old Jones approached at a 45-degree angle and covered Li Lei with his body.

Li Lei took the opportunity to get rid of Bo Wen.

Wade has quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball.

Li Lei received the ball, but Ginobili switched over in time.

"This is the Finals. The defenses on both sides are extremely fierce. It is not easy to get open shots."

Zhang Weiping instructed.

But Li Lei didn't stop. Facing Ginobili, he had an absolute physical advantage.

Li Lei didn't say a word, he started directly, squeezed past Ginobili, and rushed to the basket.

Duncan swooped in to help again.

Li Lei directly passed the ball to Haslem.

Muhammad defended Haslem, and Haslem had an idea and stuffed the ball to the basket.

The unguarded O'Neal received the ball and dunked directly.

boom!
8: 2.

O'Neill, there is no one to defend, so it won't give you points.

So far in the game, all of the Heat's points have come from dunks.

It can be seen that the Spurs' defense was shattered by the Heat.

The terrible defense of the Spurs and the strict defense of the Suns are a joke in front of the Heat.

"It's not that the Spurs' defense is not good, it's that the Heat's offense is too strong!"

The on-site commentary said with emotion.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan only ate Haslem in the low position.

Li Lei rushed over to help defend, Duncan held up the basketball, a fake pass tricked Li Lei and Haslem, and then turned around and shot.

boom!
Swish!
Iconic rebound shot.

Duncan scored 4 points in a row.

8: 4.

Relying on Duncan's performance, the Spurs bit the score.

The Heat attack.

Wade once again attracted Bowen's defense, creating an opportunity for Li Lei to overpower Ginobili.

Li Lei forced Ginobili, faced Duncan's help defense, played with a time lag, and made a mid-range throw.

Swish!
10: 4.

In the subsequent round, Duncan faced the flanking attack and sent the basketball into the basket again.

10: 6.

The second player in the league and the number one power forward in history, his reputation is well-deserved.

Looking back, the Heat attacked.

Old Jones and Li Lei crossed positions, and Li Lei faced Ginobili again.

Bowen rushed over to help defend.

Li Lei passed the ball to Old Jones in an instant.

Old Jones adjusted, pulled up and shot.

Swish!
There are also.

13: 6.

Compared with the Spurs relying on Duncan to continue his life alone, the Heat's entire team is online.

And obviously, Parker and Ginobili have become loopholes on the court.

Even with the presence of Duncan and Bowen, two first-team players of the best defensive team, these two loopholes cannot be closed.

Question: Why are Parker and Ginobili not loopholes when the Spurs play against other teams?

Answer: Yes.

It's just that other teams don't have such a strong offensive power as the Heat, and the loopholes are not obvious.

And after these two seasons, Ginobili will play as a substitute.

Not only did Popovich want to strengthen the offensive power of the bench, but also because Parker and Ginobili were on the court at the same time, the Spurs' defense had serious loopholes.

Drip!

Popovich called a second timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Parker stayed on the bench and veteran Brent Barry played.

Ginobili, Barry, Bowen, Duncan, Muhammad.

Popovich is strengthening the perimeter defense.

Quick response, decisive adjustment, Popovich is worthy of being a famous coach.

And as soon as Barry came up, he scored 2 points for the Spurs with a mid-range jumper.

13: 8.

Looking back, the Heat's offense didn't work either.

The Spurs took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Ginobili made a wonderful pass in the fast break to help Barry score a layup.

Swish!
13: 10.

Barry scored 4 points in a row.

Seeing the Spurs catch up with the points, the point difference is only 3 points.

The American Airlines Center arena was restless, and the Miami fans were a little uneasy.

Popovich stood up and told Wade on the sidelines.

The Heat made adjustments.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball directly to O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neill took Muhammad hard, moved quickly after turning around, leaning against Muhammad on one side of his body to prevent him from jumping, and hooked directly on the other side.

Swish!
15: 10.

O'Neill is 8cm taller than Muhammad and has an absolute height advantage.

The Spurs attack.

Barry and Bowen opened up the space, and Ginobili took the opportunity to break through.

But Haslem made up the defense quickly.

Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough, avoided Haslem, and then made a layup.

Snapped!
But at this moment, a huge palm blocked Ginobili's vision.

"Shark" O'Neill!

He slapped Ginobili's shot away.

Many people always ignore O'Neal's defense because his offense is too explosive.

But in fact, O'Neal's defensive ability is very strong.

He also made three All-Defensive Teams.

As for why only three times?
Because lazy!
As we all know, O'Neal is a regular season paddler, and he is not willing to waste energy on these things.

In fact, with his height of 216cm, as well as his unimaginable flexibility, jumping, and explosive power, he is an absolute barrier for insiders.

Haslem grabbed the ball and passed it to Li Lei.

Li Lei evaded Barry's press, went on a fast break, and assisted Jones to score a layup in the frontcourt.

17: 10.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan attracted the defense in the low post, made a wonderful pass to Ginobili, and scored in the mid-range shot.

17: 12.

But looking back, O'Neal continued to beat Muhammad violently, and scored 2 points before Duncan helped defend him.

19: 12.

The Spurs still couldn't stop the Heat's offense.

But this is also normal. No team can do this throughout the season.

But Popovich is still trying.

He puts on Robert Horry and replaces Muhammad.

Duncan, Horry, Bowen, Barry, Ginobili.

In this lineup, Duncan will be pushed to the 5th position.

He needs to guard O'Neal.

But there is no way around it. Rasunestrovich is out of shape due to injuries, and Muhammad has proved that he can't stop O'Neal at all.

Just let Duncan try.

The Spurs' offensive round.

Horry hit a long two-pointer as soon as he came up.

19: 14.

These veterans of the Spurs are really powerful. Whether it is Horry or Barry, they can contribute to the team as soon as they play.

back.

The Heat attack.

O'Neill faced Duncan and dug directly.

O'Neill was a little excited.

If you use others to defend O'Neal, O'Neal may not feel it.

But this is Duncan!

Needless to say, the grievances between Duncan and O'Neal.

When O'Neal was with the Lakers, the two teams played against each other in the playoffs almost every year.

It's just that O'Neal has to work hard in the battle of No. 1 and No. [-] in the league.

Duncan is simply O'Neal's humanoid stimulant.

O'Neal's continuous hard chisel is better than Duncan's continuous defeat.

Subsequently, O'Neal turned around continuously, shook Duncan away, and put the basket successfully.

Swish!
21: 14.

Popovich gritted his teeth: I feel uncomfortable and want to cry!

It's useless for Duncan to defend O'Neal.

Facts have proved that O'Neal is the biggest bug in NBA history, and no one can guard him.

But then, Duncan also scored 2 points in front of O'Neal.

O'Neal also couldn't guard Duncan.

These two belong to each other.

Subsequently, the Heat also made adjustments.

Damon and Mourning replaced Jones Sr. and Haslem.

And Damon Jones made a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court.

24: 14.

The Spurs attack.

Mourning actively helped defend and helped O'Neal cause Duncan's turnover.

The basketball bounced off.

Mourning jumped straight out, grabbed the basketball on the floor, and passed it to Li Lei.

For the first finals in his career, Mourning really did his best.

It's hard to believe that this is a 35-year-old veteran who has been declared unable to return to the game by a doctor.

"Tough guy" Mourning, well-deserved reputation.

His bones are showing toughness.

And Li Lei didn't disappoint Mourning either. He went to the frontcourt, used a big hand to deceive the opponent with a fake pass, and then scored an easy layup.

26: 14.

So far, the first quarter of the game is over.

The Heat led by 12 points in a single quarter.

"The Heat are too strong!"

The on-site commentary couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Fan forums are also filled with emotion.

"Watching football for more than ten years, I really have never seen such a strong team."

"The Heat this season is undoubtedly the most powerful team in NBA history, and the Bulls in the 95-96 season are not his opponents."

"But why are the Heat so strong?"

"O'Neal + Wade + Li Lei, can they not be strong? Pat Riley's vision is too good. In the first draft, two superstar seedlings were selected. Wade and Li Lei are still on rookie contracts, child labor! That's why the Heat There's room to go after O'Neal."

"Combined with Haslem, Jones Sr., Damon Jones, Kenyon Dooling, Mourning... a lot of outstanding role players, this Heat team has no shortcomings."

"So we're going to blame Old Buss for sending O'Neal to the Heat?"

"There's nothing wrong with you thinking that way, it's the old Bass who made this the strongest team in history."

"But the OK combination is in conflict. Kobe and O'Neal must go alone. The old Bass chose the younger Kobe. There is nothing wrong with this choice!"

"No way! No way! It's already 2005, and some people think O'Neal was squeezed out by Kobe?"

"Actually, Old Bath is unwilling to give O'Neill a big contract of 3000 million yuan. Interest is the root of everything."

"It's far away! Let's think about it, how can the Spurs beat the Heat!"

"I have a way, Bowen...you understand what I mean."

"I understand, but Mourning...do you understand what I mean? Bo Wen dared to hurt Mourning's teammates and ruined Mourning's championship. He can beat Bo Wen out! Your method is not bad, but it's a bit useless arts."

"Is there any other way?"

"Yes, if Manu Ginobili is replaced by Kobe, maybe he can fight."

"Can you be more realistic?"

"Real? That means the Spurs can't beat the Heat."

……

The second game.

Sure enough, as the fans discussed, the Spurs had no chance at all.

Not only did they not narrow the score in the second quarter, but they were widened.

At halftime, 59:41.

The Heat led by 18 points.

Back in the second half, Ginobili broke out suddenly, scoring 11 points with sudden shots, and led the Spurs to play a wave of 11:3 offensive.

The score was rewritten to 62:52.

Seeing that the point difference was about to shrink to single digits, Li Lei ran without the ball, received a pass from Wade, and hit a three-pointer.

65: 52.

Subsequently, the Spurs attacked.

Jones Sr. suddenly went up against the intensity.

Li Lei leaned over to help defend tacitly. Under the attack of the two, Ginobili made a mistake.

After Li Lei made the steal, he made a fast break and pulled up one step away from the three-point line.

Chasing three-pointers.

Swish!
68: 52.

In an instant, the difference widened again.

End of three quarters, 74:56.

The Heat still lead by 18 points.

In the fourth quarter, Popovich tried the shark-killing tactic.

But Pat Riley was more decisive, letting O'Neal go to rest and replacing him with Mourning.

Mourning's offense is definitely not as good as O'Neal's, but his defense is much better than O'Neal's.

He blocked Duncan, Ginobili, and Horry consecutively in one round, and directly stunned the Spurs.

Li Lei and Wade also took the opportunity to attack and led the Heat to expand the point difference to more than 20 points.

Ginobili once again scored 5 points with sudden shots, once helping the Spurs narrow the point difference to 15 points.

But at this moment, it was Li Lei again, with a corner three-pointer piercing the heart like a cold arrow, piercing the heart of a Spurs player.

It's like a basin of ice water, directly extinguishing the momentum of the Spurs chasing points.

At this point, the time has been good.

The Spurs lost their spirits, and Popovich went up and down and put on the bench.

Pat Riley didn't get entangled either, and put on a substitute to play until the end.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Spurs 104:88 and won Game [-] of the Finals.

李磊全场15投9中，三分球7中4，罚球3中2，砍下了24分8篮板4助攻4抢断2盖帽。

Li Lei's offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency are very high.

This is also the Heat's team's highest score.
