The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Don won the best defensive player this season and was also selected for the defensive team. Will he become a big problem for you?"

……

As far as Shane Battier was interviewed alone, all kinds of questions came one after another.

But Battier was really patient and answered all the questions.

"The difference between this year and last year is that we have all become stronger, and this year's finals should be more exciting than last year."

"I am 35 years old, but LeBron and the others are still very young, and we also have 2 days of rest. I don't think it is a problem physically."

"Yes, he is very good, he hit a lot of key shots last year, and the defense this year is also very eye-catching, but we have ways to deal with it."

……

Battier is unhurried and elegant in conversation. It is no wonder that the Heat will let him be interviewed by reporters at this time.

However, there are still some things that can be heard from Battier's answer.

Although the Heat have just finished the tiebreaker, because the Spurs are old opponents, and it is estimated that they have always regarded the Spurs as their imaginary opponents in the finals, they are still very well prepared.

As Battier said, although there are still two teams in this year's finals, both sides have become stronger, and the competition will definitely become more intense.

During the entrance ceremony in the afternoon, the reporters took pictures in the garage below, and the news before the game was not constantly updated.

This year's finals, because of a stronger lineup, also attracted unprecedented attention.

Tang Tian came to the arena with Olson, and they rented a car in Miami.

He just got out of the car, before he saw the reporter, Tang Tian saw a ball of paper on the ground, picked it up and threw it into the trash can five meters away.

"Hit!"

Following his shout, the ball of paper fell steadily into the trash can.

There was no emotion on Olsen's face at the moment. He was already immune to Tang Tian's behavior this way.

388+ nine chapters basket like the sea (two in one!)

After walking out of the parking area, the reporters outside saw him coming, and the spotlight flashed wildly.

Since Tang Tian entered the playoffs, he has been the best defensive player, defending for a while, and has won many honors, but in fact his performance is not outstanding.

It may have something to do with the opponent being too weak, or it may have something to do with Popovich's tactical arrangements. In short, his performance is not very similar to last year.

But this does not prevent him from becoming the focus of the finals.

You must know that the scene where he hit key goals in three games last year is still vivid to the fans and reporters here.

But this year, his achievements on the defensive end are more dazzling than his offense.

So just like the reporter asked Battier before, the Heat will focus on his defense.

The reporters here only took photos but didn't interview them, and Tang Tian didn't mind at all. He pulled Olsen to pose for pictures, fearing that others would not know that they were in love.

But Olsen looked happy with a smile on his face.

Celebrities usually hide their love affairs because they are ready to change partners at any time, but Tang Tian's behavior now is to identify her.

After the posing was over, the two separated when they got on the elevator.

Olsen went to the auditorium, and Tang Tian went to the locker room.

"Come on, honey."

Olsen kissed Tang Tian, ​​and the whole elevator exuded a sour smell of love.

After getting out of the elevator, Tang Tian wiped the lipstick on the corner of his mouth, then took out the magic sound earphones from his bag, and began to listen to the battle song to find his status for the game.

In the American Airlines arena, the fans are already packed.

Although the Heat experienced a bitter battle in the Eastern Conference Finals, this actually made them look forward to the Finals even more.

The finals need to be in shape. The Spurs have rested for more than a week, but they have just finished the game and are in shape. This may be the winner of the game.

Players from both sides came to the arena to warm up one after another.

In the commentary seat, the Big Three of TNT are already ready.

Barkley and O'Neal analyzed the performance of the two sides in the previous playoffs.

Smith occasionally mentions the pink dress when he interjects.

"Come.on! Kenny, how about the one who loses the bet between me and Shaq wears that skirt and buckles you!"

Buckley couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, that's it."

O'Neill reached out and high-fived Barkley to reach an agreement, completely ignoring Smith who was stunned.

"Brother, there is no way, you are too proud, this is the price."

Barkley reached out and patted Smith on the shoulder, then laughed.

Once again, Smith succeeded as a third-party victim.

"Okay, let's analyze the two teams."

Smith quickly changed the subject.

"Ray Allen on the Heat and Don on the Spurs are the X factor for both sides, especially Don, I think he defended them against Wade, against Ray Allen, and even Chalmers, who was doing well before. , is the point that determines the outcome of the game.”

Barkley opened his mouth to analyze, and he showed his professional level.

"Yes, the 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals should be a great inspiration for the Spurs. If LeBron is left alone, the Heat will be passive."

Smith continued.

The commentary seat analyzed here, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and both sides started to play one after another.

Compared with last year, the starting lineups on both sides have changed.

For the Spurs, Parker, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, Duncan and Splitter.

The Heat have Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh and Kwame Brown.

Bosh jumped and won Split, giving the Heat the first opportunity to attack.

Attacking the frontcourt, James holds the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and there are pick-and-roll moves without the ball in the penalty area.

After the run was over, it was obvious that Tang Tian was brought to the left corner.

What Battier said in the previous interview is true, the Heat's defense against Tang Tian is well arranged.

James has developed his shooting this season, and his style of play has changed a lot from last season. Leonard dare not let it go at this moment, so he can only defend close to his body.

James accelerated and inserted directly.

Although Leonard's confrontation is much better than last year, it is still a bit difficult to single-handedly fight against James.

The Spurs' inside help defense came up, and James turned around sharply, and at the same time, he stuffed the ball into the hands of Brown under the basket.

Brown's shot off the board scored.

In one round, James has fully demonstrated his progress this season, and his pressure on the Spurs is obviously greater than last season.

Popovich was musing on the sidelines at this time.

Ray Allen is the biggest signing of the Heat this season. He is now playing as a substitute, but he will definitely play a lot of playing time.

With James' improvement and Ray Allen, this series will really be much more difficult than last year.

In the Spurs' frontcourt offense, they did not run the hammer tactic, and directly played Duncan in the low post.

Originally, Popovich didn't plan to play like this this year, but Hibbert has turned the Heat's insiders upside down. Isn't this inappropriate?

Duncan hit Bosh with his back, and hit the board after turning around continuously.

Bosh looked very hard, but the impact on Duncan was very limited.

From this, we can see the reason why the Heat's Eastern Conference finals were ravaged.

In order to match the Heat's tactics, Bosh has lost weight year after year. Although his outside shooting percentage has gone up, he has become a veritable space type, floating outside.

But the resistance at the basket has dropped much more than expected.

Wade missed a breakthrough in the frontcourt, and Splitter protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt again, and Duncan continued to play back.

This time Brown came to help defend, Duncan turned around and stuffed the ball to Splitter under the basket, Splitter dunked with both hands and scored.

The expectations of the fans on social media were right. Compared with the previous starter Blair, Splitter's finishing ability is obviously much stronger.

The Heat were not to be outdone, and Chalmers continued his excellent form since the playoffs, scoring a turnaround in the frontcourt.

4 to 4, the two teams played evenly on the court.

Duncan played Bosh again in the frontcourt, and Chalmers shrank in to help defend.

Tang Tian took the initiative to move at this time.

Parker saw the off-ball pick-and-roll after seeing it, and Duncan flicked the pass.

Tang Tian received the ball, but James had already defended him.

Obviously, after experiencing last season's finals, Tang Tian is already the second key target after Duncan in Spoelstra's defensive system.

Leonard cut to the basket, he knew Tang Tian would pass.

However, Tang Tian didn't pass the ball. After seeing James hesitate for a moment because of Leonard, he directly chose to shoot.

He wanted to see if the shit luck from morning to now really worked.

"This ball..."

Barkley frowned in the commentary seat, this ball is a bit forced!

James' flying interference.

Although he hesitated, his physical defense ability was against the sky, and the interference he saved was still full of pressure.

Tang Tian's shot passed James' fingertips and flew straight towards the basket.

The audience at the scene stared at the ball in a daze.

Such a difficult ball, it should be...

"Shh!"

"Pretty!"

With Barkley's instant emotional change, the basketball hits the net hollow!

Really?

Tang Tian was happy after throwing the ball.

No player can maintain a hot touch all the time, but even the most fringe role players in the NBA will have an occasional explosion.

Hand feeling has a lot to do with confrontation, ability, and choice, but there is one more thing, which is luck.

Just like how he felt when he put on the lucky bracelet when he beat the Mavericks before, his shit luck tonight really stepped on him.

The two teams had several consecutive offenses and defenses, and the scores were also rising alternately.

After playing for more than three minutes, Tang Tian circled out to catch the ball and shoot for a three-pointer.

Bosh's long arm interfered with his line of sight, and the chances were still not very good.

Popovich was a little unhappy on the sidelines at this time.

Tang Tian's choice of the ball before was not wise, and now there is a second ball, he...

"Shh!"

Tang Tian went forward against Bosh's three-pointer!

"..."

Fine.
