At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs 82:82 Heat, the two teams were evenly divided. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Spurs, who fell behind in the first quarter, took two quarters to finally tie the score, and after the deuce, the situation on the court changed dramatically again, and the three commentators of Turner Sports once again diverged.
"The Heat didn't play very well in the last two quarters, but I still think they can win the game. Hubie Brown still stands by his point.
"Why?" Craig Sagar asked with a smile.
"The fourth quarter is the key part of the game, where the superstars will dominate the game, and the Heat have three superstars who can take turns playing, and the Heat can keep them competitive throughout the fourth quarter. Hubbie Brown gave his reasons.
Mike Brin on the side was a little hesitant, he was inclined to win this game at first, then the Heat was strong, he was biased towards the Heat, and now, the Heat was slightly suppressed by the Spurs, which made Mike Brin a little unsure of what to do.
It can only be said that the game is changing rapidly, and you can never predict what will happen in the next moment, Mike Brin gritted his teeth, and he decided to support the Heat anyway: "I agree with Hubi, the Heat still have the advantage in this game. ”
Craig Saagle didn't ask for a reason, he looked at the sidelines and said, "Okay, guys, I should go and do the intermission interview, and I'll meet later." ”
The interlude interview before the start of the fourth quarter was with Popovich, so Craig Saager quickened his pace, for fear that Popovich would leave one step earlier.
"Hey, Mr. Popovich, can I ask you a few questions?"
Popovich looked at the camera behind Craig Sagar and nodded.
"What do you think are your chances of winning the game?"
Popovich blurted out: "One hundred percent." ”
When Craig Sagar heard this, he was a little surprised, and then he thought that Popovich was Popovich, and at this time, his confidence was still very strong.
"So how are you going to adjust in the fourth quarter to win this game?"
Popovich still didn't pause, and directly said the answer: "More points than the Heat." ”
Hearing this, Craig Sager didn't say anything, but Hubie Brown and Mike Bryn, who had been paying attention to the interview on the commentary stage, laughed.
"Hahaha, more points than the Heat, this is indeed the best adjustment!"
Popovich's adjustment was certainly not going to be that simple, and he ended the interview, returned to the bench, and began to lay out the fourth-quarter play.
In an interview, Popovich said two things that were actually true, and he confirmed that the Spurs had won 100 percent, and he did set up a tactic to score more points than the Heat.
"In the fourth quarter, we continued to play offensive tactics, with Thiago and Thiem on the inside, small forward Anxi, scoring guard Manuginobili, and point guard Patrick Mills. ”
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs' lineup, except for Duncan and Anxi who continued to play, changed the other three positions to the bench. Popovich also laid out the defense specifically, Anxi finally lost the task of protecting the basket, but he needed to defend James.
The Heat's fourth-quarter lineup was soon released, with the Big Three down two, Wade and Bosh not playing, and James continuing to play, point guard Norry Cole, shooting guard Ray Allen, power forward Rashard Lewis and center Chris Anderson.
James played with a bench lineup, and David Fitzdale's change was also obvious, he wanted to rest Wade and Bosh for the final showdown of the final quarter.
But Popovich's idea is different from David Fitzdale, although he has changed three substitutes, but in terms of strength, there is not much difference between the Spurs' main force and the bench, especially Thiago Split, who was originally the Spurs' starter, but because of the need for a small lineup in the second and third quarters, Anxi has been allowed to play the No. 4 position, and Split has no time to play.
Now let Split re-play, coupled with Anxi, who is in good physical condition, as well as Manu and Mills on the outside, the overall strength is comparable to the main force.
Popovich's idea was also simple, he was going to settle the game in the first half of the fourth quarter.
The first goal of the opening game was possession of the Spurs, and Ginobili held the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
James followed Anxi closely, and he was a bit of a match with Anxi in this game, but unfortunately, in the first two quarters, Anxi was on the offensive end and James on the offensive end, but Leonard defended James on the defensive end, and now it's okay, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, James was finally able to face Anxi at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
"Boy, you've me off many times in this game, so next, I'm going to destroy you with a direct counterpoint attack!"
An Xi ignored him, what is the mouth cannon, if you have the ability to really destroy me, I'll talk about it!
The Spurs' offense was very crisp, Manuginobili broke through, causing Chris Anderson, who was on the defensive to foul, go to the free throw line, and hit both free throws!
The Spurs overtook the score! After falling behind in the opening game, after falling behind for three quarters, the Spurs finally overtook the score, and the game became different from this moment.
Wade and Bosh were not there, James was going to pass the ball directly, and his pressure was actually very high, because the Spurs overtook the score, and James had to carry the team alone, at least to tie the score.
In the face of Anxi's defense, James chose to break through directly, he was very confident in his crushing breakthrough, but what he didn't expect was that Anxi would not give an inch.
An Xi's body is only slightly worse than James, and his strength may be stronger, so when the two are really opposed, An Xi uses all his strength, and it is difficult for James to break through An Xi's defense.
James also showed a rare toughness, perhaps because An Xi didn't look so fierce, he still resolutely chose to break through.
James, who was carrying the ball, resisted Anxi's defense, rushed into the three-point line with difficulty, and under the pressure of Anxi, rushed inside, rushed to the inside, and jumped to the basket!
An Xi jumped up and down, his big hand on top of James's head.
James raised his hand and threw the ball out, but the pressure Anxi gave him made the shot a little off......
The basketball spun around on the edge of the basket, and James under the basket looked at the basket with a very worried face, containing anticipation.
But...... Let him down...... After the basketball spun around, it fell straight down, and An Xi, who had already been stuck in the position, stretched out his hand and easily won the rebound!
LeBron James faced Anxi's defense and couldn't score from close range!"
With a missed shot from close range, the Spurs have a chance to continue to widen the difference...... (To be continued.) )
