The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Although the hammer tactics are complex and changeable, but because the end points are not moving, it is easy to be targeted by the opponent if you play too much.

As the inventor of tactics, Popovich is naturally aware of this, so he is also thinking about it while playing.

Tang Tian's tactical evolution just now directly gave him new inspiration.

It turns out that hammer tactics can continue to evolve!

The Heat's frontcourt offense, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post.

Jefferson used all his breastfeeding strength this time, but he couldn't hold back.

After James attracted Duncan's defense, he turned around and hoisted the ball to Bosh under the basket. Bosh scored a one-handed dunk.

The Heat chased for four points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

For the Spurs' offense, Tang Tian didn't wait at the bottom corner this time, and took the initiative to move around to Duncan's side to take a pass from Parker before making a shot.

"Shh!"

This time he seized the opportunity, and the three-pointer shot up and down.

Point difference, once again stretched to 7 points!

The cheers exploded at the scene, this is Tang Tian's fifth three-pointer in the first half!

Counting the three-point foul that made Miller before, Tang Tian actually made six three-pointers!

With 6 three-pointers in the half, Popovich really dared to give Tang Tian a chance, and Tang Tian really made it!

"Follow him!"

Spoelstra was a little angry. If it weren't for the three-pointers thrown by Tang Tian, ​​the Heat would be leading by 7 points now!

Battier ran forward with his head down.

He also wants to keep up!But Tang Tian weighed less than him and was faster than him. This kind of catch and three-pointer really couldn't catch up!

The Heat's offense, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post. At this time, Popovich shouted from the sidelines, and Tang Tian went to the basket to double-team James.

James has a high IQ, and he waited until Tang Tian came over before passing the ball to Battier.

The Spurs' help defense rotated, Battier gave the ball to Miller again, and Miller also made a three-pointer from the outside!

This is also his fourth three-pointer in the first half!

You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder!

Battier couldn't completely follow Tang Tian, ​​and the Heat let Wade switch defenses.

Wade could keep up, but there was another opportunity for Green, this time he finally seized the opportunity, and the three-pointer shot fell into the net bag!

Looking back, James hits back to the basket to attract double-teams and points Battier, and Battier also makes a three-pointer from the corner!

After both sides changed into small lineups, this is the beginning of three-pointers!

The scene of you coming and going, the fans watching the scene also had climaxes.

The viewing pleasure of this game has suddenly increased a lot.

The two teams have offense and defense against each other, and the point difference on the court has been fluctuating between 4 and 7 points.

In the last attack before halftime, James faced up to Jefferson's buzzer-beater and hit a layup. The Heat ended the halftime behind the Spurs by 46 points 48 to 2.

The two sides played evenly at halftime.

Spoelstra looked good, high-fiving the players one by one as they left the field.

Popovich frowned slightly, such a stalemate has never been what he wanted.

Originally, Tang Tian's several three-pointers had opened up the point difference, but James' strength abruptly pulled the score back.

If the two sides really meet in the finals, then James will give him more than one night of headaches.

During the 15-minute break in the midfield, the players on both sides returned to the locker room to rest, and the head coach also seized the time to make halftime summary and adjustments.

Popovich talked about some details of the first half of the game. Just as he was talking, he suddenly put down the pen in his hand and turned to look at Tang Tian.

"Can you guard LeBron? Go around and keep him from receiving the ball." He asked directly.

Tang Tian was taken aback for a moment.

This scene is somewhat familiar. When UConn played San Diego State University, Calhoun asked similar questions.

It's just that Popovich asked more directly than Cajon.

"LeBron is very difficult to defend now, but we can use wheel battles, circling, dogfighting... all methods, his weight is heavier than before, which means that his physical strength will be consumed faster, this is a way!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that his inspiration would disappear, Popovich then said quickly.

Chapter 181 Shot Through

It was hard for Tang Tian to refuse when Popovich spoke up to this point.

However, he is also very clear that it is very risky to use James forward.

If James suddenly chooses to play in a high position with the ball, his weight-loss body is completely out of place.

"Grandpa, I think Kawhi is more suitable than me. His defense is better than mine, especially against LeBron." He continued.

This is true.

With the help of dynamic vision, Tang Tian's current single defense ability is not much worse than Leonard's.

But because of the weight loss, the effect of facing James is definitely not as good as Leonard.

"Yes, you are right." Popovich also reacted and turned to look at Leonard directly.

There was no change in expression on Leonard's face.

"Go around, restrict him from receiving the ball, confrontation, and consume his energy." Popovich told Leonard several key points.

Leonard nodded.

Back from the halftime break, the Heat made defensive adjustments, directly replacing Chalmers with Miller and playing point guard with Wade as a cameo.

The Spurs' lineup has not changed.

James went to the low position in the frontcourt and continued to ask for a position. At this time, Jefferson was fighting with his body.

James was very uncomfortable, which is why he hadn't practiced his back before. This kind of position full of physical confrontation consumes a lot of energy.

However, the ball went in in the end, and James' turn and shot directly caused Jefferson's pull foul.

Two free throw opportunities.

Perhaps Jefferson's intensity was a bit high, and James missed two free throws.

Split received a defensive rebound.

Popovich nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines, and that was what he wanted.

The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt, and the Heat began to double-team again. Green's pass was directly intercepted by Wade.

The Heat counterattacked, and Wade rushed to the frontcourt to score in a fast break.

The two sides tied at 48!

At this time, Popovich turned around and called Tang Tian directly.

At the press conference after the game against the Clippers in his first show, he told reporters a cold joke, saying that he was old, otherwise Tang Tian should be given more playing time.

Now it seems that it has become a proverb. Tang Tian really didn't have much rest time in this game.

Miller's off-ball foul, Tang Tian replaced Green.

The Heat still double-teamed the ball holder, and Tang Tian used Duncan's pick-and-roll to run out ahead of time, directly catching the ball and shooting a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian's sixth three-pointer in this game!

"The basket is the sea in his eyes tonight!" the sideline commentator shouted excitedly.

Tang Tian's outside performance tonight is really incredible!

After hitting this three-pointer, he scored a game-high 21 points!

Don, the not-low-key Spurs rookie, Tian, ​​went crazy!

Spoelster stretched his hand and tapped his forehead, then signaled the defense to switch back to man-to-man.

The Heat's frontcourt attack, Jefferson continued to fight James.

James was impatient, and after receiving the ball, he directly chose to attack the frame, and the shot after the confrontation recreated Jefferson's thug.

His one-on-one singles ability after gaining weight is really not a bit abnormal.

Jefferson fouled twice early in the second half, and Popovich got up and called Leonard up to replace Jefferson.

James adjusted his breathing this time, and made two free throws amidst the boos of the fans, saving himself some face.

With a point difference of 1 point, the situation on the court is extremely anxious. The intensity of the game and the performance of both sides are completely at the level of the playoffs or even the finals.

The Heat no longer double-teamed the ball holder, and Parker signaled to play AI hammer tactics.

The Heat have obviously strengthened their marking on Tang Tian, ​​and Spoelstra's status in the team is higher than expected.

Parker seized the opportunity and came to a tacit cooperation with Duncan. Duncan took the ball and dribbled one step to squeeze Joel Anthony and put the ball into the basket.

The scene cheered again.

In an anxious situation, any goal is crucial.

James saw Jefferson go down and continued to drop low for the ball.

However, Leonard's defensive ability at this time was reflected. Instead of fighting desperately like Jefferson, he used a half-circle forward.

His length and hands make him unmatched on the defensive end, and he maximizes those talents in smart ways.

Wade tried holding the ball and didn't dare to give it in. Leonard's arms and big hands looked too threatening.

He asked for Joel Anthony's pick-and-roll, trying to play Splitter out of position.

But Tang Tian squeezed past him and didn't give him a chance, so Wade could only choose to force Tang Tian.

His speed was very fast, Tang Tian gave up a step, and Wade chose to make an emergency stop throw.

Tang Tian stopped early and stretched out his hand to interfere with his sight.

"boom!"

Wade's floater missed.

After Tang Tian loses weight, he can't completely block Wade, but it is still possible to limit it.

Split got a defensive rebound.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Spurs hit the Zip hammer. The Heat's defense did not dare to close in too tightly, and Parker seized the opportunity to throw a shot and scored.

Unconsciously, the Spurs have established a 5-point lead.

Spoelstra stands on the sidelines with his hips akimbo.

This time Popovich did not have a major adjustment in tactics or personnel. He didn't react so quickly, but he also realized that something was wrong.

The Heat's frontcourt offense, Leonard continued to half-circle to defend James, James couldn't catch the ball, and went directly to the high post.

As Tang Tian expected, James changed his face after receiving the ball.

Leonard sank his focus to defend. James made a tank-like breakthrough with the ball. Leonard had very long hands, but he had no chance to make a shot under confrontation.

James led Leonard to the penalty area, but at this time Tang Tian came to help defend.

James' focus is on Leonard.

"Snapped!"

Just when he was about to make a strong attack, the ball in his hand was shot off!

Tang Tian's steal!

Tang Tian got the ball, and the Spurs pushed for a fast break.
