Chapter 274: Behind the Opening (3/10, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
The Heat, who have won 27 in a row, are really in good shape, playing the Spurs 15-6 in the opening game, forcing the Spurs to call a timeout. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hubbie Brown explained lightly, and Craig Sagar on the side nodded: "Yes, let's see if the Spurs can be replaced." ”
The Spurs were beaten so badly in the opening game, and several commentaries from Turner Sports were also a little downbeat to the Spurs.
And when they saw that the Spurs still did not make substitutions, Mike Brin was even more puzzled: "Why not make substitutions? The main lineup has been playing for 5 minutes and has only scored 6 points, which shows that they are in poor condition, so they don't make substitutions, Popovich's choice is incomprehensible, maybe the Spurs are dangerous, and their chances of losing this game have greatly increased." ”
On the first shot after the timeout, Tony Parker broke through with the ball, but couldn't find a chance......
They also slowed down after being reprimanded by Popovich, re-passing the ball and reorganizing the attack......
Just like that, the pass passed to the talent, passed to 22 seconds, and finally passed a vacancy, Danny Green outside the three-point line received the ball and shot, Wade couldn't defend it, and hit the three-point accurately!
"Three-!" In a shout from the DJ on the spot, the Spurs hit a three-point shot, and the ATT arena resounded with thunderous cheers.
After the timeout, the effect was there, and Danny Green's three-pointer broke the Spurs' scoring drought, and the nine-point deficit was suddenly reduced to six.
But soon, the Heat played a wave of fast breaks, Mario Chalmers quickly advanced to the frontcourt, a pass assist, James received the ball and scored 2 points directly on the layup.
Then, Tony Parker's breakthrough tore open and passed to Boris Dio in the high post, who scored 2 points on a jumper.
And the Heat also quickly fought back, Wade broke through with the ball, and Rashad Lewis on the outside received the ball and hit a three-point shot!
After three or two rounds, the margin was still 9 points, and the Spurs failed to close the gap, and of course the Heat failed to widen the difference......
In this game, James played very happily, from the opening lead, he felt that he was full of strength, the 9-point lead made James see the hope of a big victory over the Spurs, even after the timeout, the Spurs reorganized the offense, James still felt that this game, the Heat had a lot to do.
The Spurs barely stabilized the situation in the Heat's offensive, on the one hand, the Heat's opening strong attack ended, and at the beginning of this game, the Heat forcibly increased the intensity of the game, otherwise the Spurs would not have been beaten so badly, and over time, the Heat's game intensity would not have been maintained, so the Spurs slowly found an opportunity. On the other hand, Popovich's reprimand still had some effect.
Throughout the first quarter, Popovich did not make any substitutions, and in the second half of the first quarter, the Heat replaced Ray Allen and Chris Anderson one after another, leaving Bosh and Wade to rest.
However, the gap between the two giants was not seized by the Spurs, and the Heat relied on James' power to expand the gap again at the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs were 22:34 at home, trailing the Heat by 12 points, and the situation was already very bad.
Before Popovich could set up his second quarter play, he was pulled aside by Craig Saager for an interview in the middle of the quarter.
In this battle of the century, Craig Sager has not expressed his opinion much, and this Turner Sports expert, reporter, presenter and commentator rarely chooses to watch this game, and he has always chosen to remain silent when others are crazy about this game.
However, it can be seen that Craig Sager is still paying attention to this game.
"Greg, how do you feel about trailing by 12 points in the first quarter?"
Popovich shook his head: "Not very good. ”
The interview is broadcast live, whether you are watching the game live, or you are not watching the game live, or you are watching the game through other broadcasts (such as CCTV).
So Popovich's answer was brief, and Craig Sagar didn't bother to ask anything.
"The Heat are playing fast right now, how are you going to slow down?"
Popovich continued to shake his head: "I don't know. ”
Hearing Popovich's answer, Director Zhang, who was commentating on the game on CCTV, laughed: "Haha, how could Popovich not know, it's just that this is a live broadcast, and it is impossible for him to reveal his adjustments." ”
Craig Sagar obviously knew this too, so he didn't get annoyed and continued to ask, "But you'll have a way, right?" Obviously, he had seen through everything.
Popovich nodded this time: "Maybe." ”
At the end of the interview, Popovich waited for the microphone to move before walking to the bench, fetching the tactical board and quickly starting to lay out the next play.
After trailing by 12 points in the first quarter, the Spurs will play the image of a scorer from the second quarter, and the most important thing now is how to chase points, how to chase points against the Heat's tactics, which is what Popovich needs to think about and solve.
"Next, we're going to play Miami. The tone was set as soon as he spoke.
Mike Budenholzer couldn't help but ask, "Don't you slow down?"
Popovich shook his head: "No. He knows very well that the Heat's fast-paced offense and defense have played so many games, and it is not so simple that it can be slowed down, rather than wasting time with the Heat in rhythm, it is better to attack directly, speed to speed.
"In the second quarter, Patrick point guard, Manu point guard, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Ann, center Matt (Bonner). ”
"...... this lineup?" Mike Budenholzer was a little surprised, and the center went to Bonner?
Popovich smiled and continued: "Ann, your task is heavier, the offensive end is to swim around the baseline, protect the rebound, choose the opportunity to pull the corner, shoot the open three-pointer, and the task of protecting the basket on the defensive end is also handed over to you. ”
After looking at Anxi, he looked at several other players who came out of the circle: "Matt, your position is on both sides of the arc, you want the ball when you are free, shoot three points, Kehuai goes on the court to defend Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, the Heat will not let them play together in the second quarter, Manu and Patrick's task is needless to say, break through and cut to create opportunities." Pick up the tempo, we'll fight them!"
……
Popovich is quite a bit of a broken momentum, but Mike Budenholzer is a little worried, he feels that Popovich's adjustment is likely to fail, the reason is very simple, the task of protecting the basket was actually handed over to Anxi, can Anxi protect the basket? In the face of the impact of Wade and James, is the interior sure that it will not be burst into a sieve?
At the beginning of the second quarter, Anxi stood in the No. 4 position, his eyes on the Heat side.
Sure enough, James didn't continue to play, Wade partnered Bosh, plus Noris Cole, Haslem and McMiller played. (To be continued.) )
