NBA’s aging star system
Chapter 406: Game 2 of the Finals, Buck bets again (page 12)
The Heat's performance was very positive at the beginning of the game, full of desire to attack, and it seemed like they were going to compete with the Lakers.
"The Heat are going to play against the Lakers? That shouldn't be the case. The Heat are not a team that is good at offense." Barkley said doubtfully.
"Well, I really don't understand the Heat's tactics in the last two games. Maybe Spoelstra is a tactical genius." Kenny Smith said with a hint of ridicule.
At this time, the ball possession changed on the court. Brunson came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.
Su Tian got the ball and faced Dragic again. After a series of cross dribbles, he quickly made a double change of direction to get rid of Dragic, and went directly to the basket with the ball.
Su Tian's breakthrough was the same as in the previous round, and he once again successfully attracted Adebayor's defensive double-team. However, when Su Tian wanted to pass the ball again, Adebayor returned to his defensive position again.
Seeing Adebayor return to his position, Su Tian immediately changed the pass into a throw.
Bang——shua——
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.
4-0
The Lakers hit all the shots in the opening two rounds, and it didn't seem to be much different from the previous game.
The ball was transferred and the Heat attacked again. This time Vincent attracted the defense with the ball and passed the ball directly to Butler. Butler received the ball and hit the basket again, overcoming the thick eyebrows of the defense and scoring a layup.
4-2
The Heat finally scored, but this was different from what Su Tian expected for the Heat before the game.
But after a few rounds, the Heat's tactics could no longer be hidden. In addition to Butler, a large number of three-point shots successfully attracted the attention of the fans. However, unlike the Rockets, the Heat's three-point shots were mostly related to Compared with the previous Heat, compared with the Rockets, the three-pointers were still relatively few.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Heat by 30 points 25-5. The Heat's three-point shooting tactics in the first quarter had some effect, but not much.
During the break, Barkley still expressed his doubts.
"During the regular season, the Heat have never been a strong offensive team. Why are they making dangerous moves now in the finals? Is Spoelstra not calm anymore? Is he starting to gamble?"
Kenny Smith shook his head and said: "I don't believe Spoelstra is so uncool. Maybe he has some other plans or some unspeakable secrets."
In fact, not only Kenny Smith, but also many fans can't help but excuse Spoelstra. This is mainly because the tactical duel between Spoelstra and Stevens in the Eastern Conference Finals was so brilliant, which made everyone's evaluation of the two people rise sharply.
Soon the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.
The Lakers still have a normal rotation, while the Heat have Dragic, Hiro coming on to lead the team, and Butler resting off the court temporarily.
Seeing Butler take a break, Barkley couldn't help but said: "I thought Butler wouldn't take a break this time."
"It seems that we should have learned experience from the last game." Kenny Smith said.
Although Butler can ensure that he is full of energy by resting off the court, the impact of the lack of Butler on the court is still obvious.
The first is that George is undefendable on the court. Although Crowder and Hiero can occasionally limit George's performance, this is too much of a test of their defensive cooperation.
It only took George 3 minutes to successfully stop the Heat, and the point difference was widened to 10 points.
The Heat took advantage of the timeout to adjust the lineup again, and Butler played again.
After Butler came on the court, the Heat seemed to have found their backbone, and the situation on the court was stabilized.
Halfway through the second quarter, the point difference was maintained to about 8 points. Su Tian and Nongmei came on the court and replaced George.
At this time, there is no doubt that it is a good time for the Lakers to widen the point difference. Because Butler plays longer and consumes more, the Lakers naturally have the advantage.
Butler, on the other hand, defended in front of Su Tian without hesitation.
Su Tian admired Butler's spirit very much. This spirit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go there is also the charm of Butler.
It was precisely because Su Tian admired Butler so much that after the game started, Su Tian showed all his strength without any reservation.
Three-pointers, breakthroughs, passes, and backs, Su Tian used his eighteen martial arts skills to break Butler's defense over and over again.
But Butler still stood up again and again, defending in front of Su Tian with a resolute face.
At the end of the second quarter, the point difference was not as wide as everyone imagined, but it was still 14 points.
During the halftime break, Barkley was also very emotional in the commentary box.
"The reason why the Heat were able to defeat many teams in the Eastern Conference and reach the finals is because they have their own uniqueness!"
"Yes, Butler's spirit is really amazing, but this spirit is also lacking in many stars now."
Kenny Smith also very much agrees with Barkley's views, and both of them have very similar views on Butler.
But this still doesn't change the fact that the Heat are lagging behind.
At this time in the Heat's locker room, Spoelstra was holding a tactical board and still emphasizing the game tactics for the second half.
In fact, now that the Heat have reached this point, they have basically used up all the tactics and tricks they can use, and the remaining tactics are nothing more than gambling tactics.
The gap between the Heat and the Lakers is too obvious, and it's not just some tactics that can be changed.
It was very difficult for Spoelstra, but it was easier for Walton.
Originally, Walton was worried about the Heat's counterattack in this game, but it turns out that as long as he gets Su Tian, all problems can be solved.
The halftime ended quickly, players from both sides took the field again, and the third quarter began.
The Lakers' starting lineup in the third quarter was still the same as before, while the Heat's starting lineup also chose the full lineup.
The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Heat. After Vincent came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball directly to Butler.
At this time, Butler held the ball against George's defense, directly called Adebayor's pick-and-roll, and directly initiated a breakthrough with the help of the pick-and-roll.
George quickly turned around to chase Butler, and Butler did not miss the ball. Instead, he passed the ball directly to Adebayor, who was following the pass.
After receiving the ball, Adebayor directly attacked the basket, but just when Adebayor was about to dunk, his thick eyebrows suddenly appeared from one side and slapped the ball away.
Vincent, with his quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the basketball first and shot directly from mid-range.
Bang——shua——
The basketball hit the rim and fell into the net again.
"Vincent is so smart! This signing by the Heat is still very good." Kenny Smith said.
"Yes, after all, it is produced by the Lakers. This is also one of the contributors to the Lakers' last championship season." Barkley said.
Vincent hit a clever opportunity ball, the ball was transferred, and Brunson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
