Chapter 391: Popovich: I hate three-point shots! (First update!) )

Tang Tian's three points helped the Spurs stretch the difference to 16 points for the first time, and also laid the victory for the Spurs in one fell swoop.

The two sides were deadlocked until the second half of the fourth quarter, and the Heat were unable to close the difference, and both sides switched to the bench in the last few minutes.

The score was 115-101.

The Spurs beat the Heat on the road and snatched home-court advantage from the Heat.

James scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, but he was still powerless.

Wade scored 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting, Ray Allen hit three three-pointers and scored 11 points, and Bosh had a dismal performance, scoring just nine points and six rebounds.

For the Spurs, Duncan had 17 points and 12 boards, Parker had 16 points and nine assists, Leonard had 13 points and four boards, and Split had 12 points and 11 boards.

Tang Tian shot 11 of 14 from beyond the three-point line in the game, scoring a game-high 35 points, as well as 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

The 35 points also set a new high for his solo career and playoff career!

It's the night of his new career!

After the game, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Congratulations, you broke the single-game three-point record in the playoffs, you're the only record holder right now, did you ever think you'd break the record today?"

The reporter asked.

"Yes, I thought about it, in fact, when I went out in the morning, I knew it would feel good today, I was wearing a lucky bracelet, and my girlfriend Elizabeth specially picked out lucky shoes for me."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, the reporter showed a surprised look.

This answer is not Tang Tian or spurs at all, and there is this full of love sourness.

"How do you feel, when you throw those shots, you break that record with just 14 shots."

The reporter then asked.

"Well, the basket is like the sea in front of me, and I know that if I throw it, I will go in."

“……”

It's changed, Tang Tian, you've really changed!

You used to be very low-key!

The reporter is still asking, and Tang Tian is still answering.

At this moment, Duncan quietly approached behind Tang Tian.

Then, a glass of water is poured over your head.

Tang Tian felt a chill in his head.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw Duncan's smiling Buddhist face.

and Ginobili laughing behind him.

Duncan poured water instead of touching his head, it must have been this guy's idea!

It's jealous of his hair!

But he laughed along, pretending to be chasing Ginobili.

Ginobili trotted all the way.

Winning the first game, the atmosphere in the Spurs team looked very good.

After the game, fans also talked about it on social media.

"It's really miserable, the Heat team prepared a whole Tang Tian's defense, but I didn't expect to be shot through by Tang directly."

"Tang was a top scorer before, but after this fight, he has become a historical shooter!"

"Tang Tian: You think I can only defend, but in fact, I can score!"

"Tang Tian: You never know if I'm concentrating on defense or attacking this time."

"I think the Heat will almost be able to break up in two years, and look at the performance of Wade and Bosh, is this still a Big Three?"

"LeBron will only have role player James by his side."

"You're too dark, LeBron is just a bit of a teammate."

"Poof! You have no lower limit, Wade and Bosh are just going to adjust their play around LeBron. ”

“……”

The first big defeat in the Eastern Finals and the first big defeat in the finals.

There was a lot of pressure on the whole Heat team.

You must know that before the playoffs began, they were still the biggest favorites to win the championship, and they were favored to sweep all the way to the championship.

But the predictions didn't catch up with the changes, and Wade and Bosh's sluggish playoff performance made them play a lot more difficult than expected.

The second Finals was still played in Miami, two days later.

The Heat's training sessions for both days were all closed.

Although they can't see it, they can feel the pressure they are under.

After the training, the players went back to the locker room one after another.

However, Chanmos, Ray Allen, Norris Cole, Battier and James Jones have all stayed behind to practice their three-point shooting.

Fitzdale, the team's assistant coach, was on the sidelines to assist them.

James had just finished taking a shower at this time, and when he heard the sound of the training hall, they were coming over to practice, and walked up to Fitzdale curiously.

"What are they doing?"

"Ray organized, he said that in order to win the next game, the team must shoot from the outside." Fitzdale replied.

James glared for a moment, then nodded.

Ray Allen brings not only the three points, but also the tough team atmosphere of the Celtics.

Two days later, Game 2 of the Grand Final resumed at the American Airlines Arena.

The two teams were still deadlocked in the opening stage, and Wade followed Tang Tian closely at the beginning.

Spoelstra was clearly a little fed up with Tang Tian's three points.

When it came to the rotation stage, the Heat's outside line began to exert force.

Battier, Chanmos, Ray Allen hit back-to-back three-point outputs.

That night, he stood behind the Heat, who shot 13-of-23 from three-point range.

This is a very large number of hits in 2013, and if it weren't for Tang Tian's last game breaking the record, it would have been amazing.

With the output from the outside, the Heat finally defeated the Spurs 113-98 and tied the Finals 1-1.

After the game, Popovich couldn't help but complain in the post-match press conference.

"I hate three-pointers."

Popovich's opening made all the reporters in the audience stunned.

"In my opinion, three points should not belong to the basketball game at all, I think it is the same as cheating, you can only score two points for pitching, but now with three points, I can only endure it, everyone can only endure it."

The reporters looked at each other for the first time they had heard Popovich say that.

It seems that the Heat's three-point shooting tonight made him a little depressed.

However, this is obviously not true!

Didn't the Spurs win the first game by relying on Tang Tian's record-breaking three-point shot?

After the game, the media reported Popovich's remarks, and there was an uproar.

You must know that in the Spurs' hammer strategy, the end point is outside the three-point line accounts for more than 70%.

Popovich's remarks are baseless.

After the first two games, the two sides moved to San Antonio to continue the finals.

Back at home, the Spurs had tactical adjustments, and Popovich arranged more and more complex blocking and pick-and-roll tactics for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian adapted quickly, scoring 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting from beyond the three-point line in Game 4, and once again shot through the Heat.

Winning Game 3, the Spurs took a 2-1 lead in the big score.

At the press conference after the game, some reporters couldn't help but question Popovich.

After this last game, you said you hate threes? This time, he desperately gave Tang Tian a three-point opportunity?

"Yes, I still hate threes, but that's the rule, and we have to take it and use it to survive."

It was only when they heard Popovich's answer that the reporters suddenly realized.

It turns out that what Popovich hates is the opponent's three-point shot!
