Chapter 315: The Battle of Miami (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the second game, Anxi did not use his hole cards, and the team still won. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So people think that Anxi is nothing more than that, in the second game, although the Heat lost, but lost on their wrong game layout, they defended Anxi in the first quarter, and as a result, the Spurs took a 10-point lead, which was maintained until the end of the game.
So what if the Heat defended Anxi alone from the beginning of the game? Maybe the process of the game would be different, and the final winner could also be the Heat.
Although the Heat lost two games in a row, the losses in both games were not very big, so the media reporters believe that the Heat still have hope of winning the game, and this hope is not small. What if the finals are 0:2 behind, the historical precedent of 0:2 falling behind and turning the tables is not unprecedented, the Heat itself has done it.
In the 2006 Finals, the Heat once fell behind the Mavericks 0:2, won four games in a row, won the finals, and finally won the cup.
For Anxi, before the start of the third battle, the most obvious change was that he received less attention.
Before the start of the third game, An Xi began to think about how he should use the hole card of the backward jumper, and it is certain that it will be used in the finals, but the problem is that if there is no specific situation, he will rashly continue to step back and shoot the jumper, and Popovich will not be able to watch it.
The Spurs are extremely team offensive players, and unless the team offense can't be opened, Popovich doesn't want to see individual players continue to work alone, which is actually the reason why Anxi didn't use a step-back jumper in the last game.
The team is ahead, if Anxi continues to play singles, uses a step-back jumper to force the opponent to wrap himself, and then continues to shoot back-to-back jumpers, then it is estimated that it will not be long before Popovich has to replace Anxi.
Therefore, if you want to continue to use the step-back jumper, you must encounter a specific situation, and at other times, Anxi can only make a small fuss and chisel two shots.
Anxi also thought about it, in this game, if the score is scorching, the backward jumper must be used, but it can't be used continuously, after all, Anxi is also afraid of explosion and iron, and if the score is behind, Anxi will take over the game, he is confident in his current state and ability.
However, if the score is still ahead, then Anxi is ready to continue to hide this backward jumper.
There are at least two more games in the finals, it's really not good, and the last game will leak out this backward jumper, anyway, the backward jumper is now Anxi's ultimate weapon, anytime, anywhere, you can take it out to deal with the Heat, and if the Spurs' playoff journey is too smooth, Anxi will also use it, but it must be the last game, and at that time, the backward jumper is naturally used for others to see.
The third game started quickly, and although the Spurs won the first two games, the Heat were still very confident.
Before the game, LeBron James attributed the first two losses to bad luck and misjudgment, and James also said that the team will not make such mistakes again, and the Heat will go all out in the next game.
ESPN, who has always been LeBron James's dog, also said that although it seems that the Heat is behind, in fact, the Heat just failed to grab the Spurs' home-court advantage, and the next three games will be held in Miami, and the Heat, who have the home-court advantage, is likely to pull the big score to 3:2!
If it's 3:2, then the Heat really have an advantage, but in Anxi's view, ESPN is now talking nonsense, and home advantage can also be called an advantage, believe it or not, I'll grab the next game for you in minutes!
It was in this atmosphere that the third battle began.
Anxi continued to start, and in the last game, Anxi's starting effect was still good, so Popovich did not change this, and on the Heat's side, the starters changed again, with Rashad Lewis replaced by Sean Battier, and the Heat strengthened their outside defense.
Seeing Anxi starting, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were still very excited, there were no highlights in Anxi's performance in the last game, but at least they scored 24 points, and they were not far from the finals MVP.
They will witness the first yellow man in history, and this sentiment is understandable.
With a beep, the referee's whistle blew, and the game began, with Chris Bosh winning the jump ball again and the Heat making the first attack.
This time is not the home of the Spurs, when they came to the American Airlines Arena, they naturally had to enjoy the care of the away fans. However, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were not convinced by the performance of this group of fans.
"Hey, the cheers are loud now, if the Heat fall behind by a big score again, will this group of people be gone?" Charles Barkley sneered, not caring at all that he was still broadcasting, after all, the "notoriety" of Miami fans has long spread throughout North America, and even if he says so, no one can find fault with it.
Kenny Smith on the side also nodded in agreement: "It's true that Miami fans have become a recognized lack of patience in the league, but I don't know if they have fixed this stinky problem." ”
At the beginning of the game, after the opening, the two teams began to play iron frequently.
In the opening goal, James forced a breakthrough through Anxi, and then divided the ball to the middle distance, and Chris Bosh's mid-range shot hit the iron with a bang.
Then, Tony Parker's pullup jump shot didn't go in.
Wade couldn't make a shot, and the Spurs didn't score any three-pointers from Danny Green.
Even An Xi himself was the first to hit the iron, he shot a mid-range jumper against James' defense, and finally hit the iron as well.
In the second minute of the game, it was the Heat who opened the scoring account first, and James scored 2 points with a layup against Anxi's defense.
Then, the Heat began to take the lead.
Back at home, the Heat performed quite strongly, James and Wade were on fire, and the game reached the fifth minute of the first quarter, and the Spurs trailed by six points at 6:12.
The Spurs trailed by six points at the start, and it seems that the Heat have found a way to win. Charles Barkley said this lightly, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Kenny Smith: "Kenny, Anxi has played this game so far, 2 shots and 1 hit, what do you think about this?"
Kenny Smith shrugged, "Nothing, his normal behavior." ”
"Indeed, Anxi's normal performance, it seems that he is indeed magically absent. Charles Barkley shook his head, his idea was different from Kenny Smith, he actually wanted to see a big counterattack of role players and lead the team to fight against the Heat's Big Three, but now he found that role players are still role players.
On the court, Anxi was returning to defense, and the Spurs fell behind at the beginning, but this had nothing to do with Anxi, Anxi made two shots and one hit, in addition to missing one shot, he also scored a three-pointer, and his performance was normal.
However, against the Heat's high-intensity defense, his teammates performed a bit poorly.
An Xi frowned, he felt that he should increase the number of shots he made, after all, his hand should be regarded as the best one of the Spurs' starters.
The Spurs failed to prevent the Heat's attack, Wade used his speed to pass Danny Green, rushed into the interior and scored a layup, 14:6, the point difference continued to widen, and the American Airlines arena erupted in cheers.
Anxi silently waited in the front court for the attack, in this game, the Heat was not as strict as the last game, so Anxi still had a chance to catch the ball.
Tony Parker advanced to the front court with the ball, Anxi quickly went around the bottom corner, and then came out from the bottom corner, at the top of the arc, and quickly received a pass from Tony Parker.
After getting the basketball, An Xi didn't mean to waste time, and directly accelerated and wiped past James who rushed over from behind to defend.
Bang bang dribble a few times, An Xi rushed to the position of one step outside the free throw line, a pull-up jump shot, without leaning, and the basketball shot like this.
Although LeBron James followed, he was still shaken by An Xi's emergency stop, and with a bang, the basketball drilled into the net frame.
8:14! Anxi clenched his fists and swung directly into the air.
"Anxi's pull-up jump shot scored 2 points, and the Spurs still rotated 6 points!" Charles Barkley's commentary was a little calm, he didn't find that Anxi was wrong, nor did he find Anxi's sudden rampage, after all, this was the first shot.
Half a minute later, the Heat scored their sixteenth point, and Anxi got the ball again in the frontcourt.
Bang bang dribble a few times, An Xi made a cold shot, and with a bang, he hit a three-point shot!
There was an exclamation from the American Airlines Arena, Anxi looked very calm, but Charles Barkley was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Anxi's three points, in, he scored 5 points in a row!"
Kenny Smith on the side was excited again, and from this three-point shot, he found that Anxi seemed to be a little rampage: "Score five points in a row!" plus the previous three-pointer, more than halfway through the first quarter, Anxi has scored 8 points!"
At 11:16, the difference narrowed to 5 points.
On the sidelines, David Fitzdale narrowed his eyes and hesitated, but in the end he didn't make much movement.
However, his choice quickly made him suffer, and after a three-point shot by Sean Battier in the Heat frontcourt, Duncan grabbed the rebound, and the Spurs got a chance to continue to close the gap.
As a result, it was Anxi who got the ball this time, a breakthrough, shook off James, rushed into the inside line and stepped on the free throw line to make a mid-range shot, and hit it again with a bang!
There was a boom, another exclamation, and a burst of excited shouts erupted from the commentary seat.
"Seven points in a row! Seven points in a row! Another Anxi, it's him again! He's standing up again! Beautiful!" This is Kenny Smith, and at this time, he is quite excited. "Anxi who scored 7 points in a row!13:16! The Spurs narrowed the score, and the absolute hero is Anxi again!"
Charles Barkley was silent, he found that he seemed to have been slapped in the face, but at this time, he was as excited as Kenny Smith, and Anxi stepped up again! )
