In addition to complaining, he was a little angry.

If the management hadn't changed their minds, such an excellent 3D player would have been a great addition to the Heat!

Unfortunately, they are now rivals and are joining one of their main competitors this season.

It really feels like there's nothing to say.

Spoelstra couldn't wait for the dead ball and reached out to call a timeout.

After the timeout, on the Heat's side, Spoelstra put on the previous small lineup again.

Wadega Miller on the outside, Baturga James on the outside, Bosh on the center.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich also went toe-for-tat and changed to a small lineup, with Parker and Green on the outside, Tang Tian and Jefferson on the front, and Split on the center.

The Heat's offense, Miller and Battier open up space on either side.

Miller has already made 3 three-pointers tonight, and the heat level is the same as Tang Tianyou's, and the Spurs dare not defend 2-3 at this time.

After asking for the ball in the low post, James directly signaled his teammates to come and chose to single Jefferson.

James gained weight in the offseason, and at this time he weighed nearly 125 kilograms, a full size larger than Jefferson, and he leaned directly against Jefferson's back.

In the finals last year, James was targeted by the Mavericks quite badly because he didn't have back-to-back skills.

At that time, he failed to beat Barria three times in a row, which became a big talk for fans after the finals.

Because of this, in the past long offseason, James has been working his back skills and has improved significantly.

Although Jefferson is also full of muscles, he weighs nearly 20 kilograms less than James, and the confrontation is not in the same class.

After James exerted his strength, he obviously couldn't bear it.

James went to the penalty area and turned directly to score a layup.

There was a stirring at the scene.

James's tank-style layup is inexplicable enough, and this is another bull-style back play, which really doesn't make people live.

Popovich reached out and rubbed his forehead, his expression a little helpless.

It's a bit unreasonable.

Spurs' offense.

The Heat's tactics changed dramatically at this point, and instead of wrapping up ball-handlers, they switched back to man-marking.

Like the changes Miller brought to the Spurs' defense, Tang Tian's hot hand also forced Spoelstra to dare not do that again.

Parker reached out and gestured for the Zip hammer tactic.

Parker's breakthrough ball was given to Tang Tian, and Battier turned back to defend, but Tang Tian had no chance.

However, Tang Tian didn't stop the ball, he gave the ball to Duncan, and then continued to block and dismantle.

Duncan blocked Battier after giving the ball, and Tang Tian received the ball for three points before making a shot.

"Bang!"

The ball was a bit of unluck, bounced off the edge of the basket, and the rebound was picked up by Bosh.

Although he didn't enter, it also shocked Spoelstra into a cold sweat.

On the other side of the court, Popovich stood up with a little excitement.

Although the hammer tactics are complex and changeable, because the endpoints are not moving, it is easy to be targeted by the opponent if you play too much.

As the inventor of tactics, Popovich naturally knows this, so he is also thinking about it while fighting.

Tang Tian's tactical evolution just now directly gave him new inspiration.

It turns out that the hammer tactics can continue to evolve!

The Heat offense in the frontcourt, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post.

Jefferson used all his strength to feed this time, but he couldn't resist it.

After James attracted Duncan's help defense, he turned and hoisted the ball to Bosh, who scored with a one-handed dunk.

The Heat chased four straight points to narrow the gap to four.

The Spurs' offense, Tang Tian didn't wait in the bottom corner this time, took the initiative to go around Duncan's side to run the position, receive Parker's pass and then shoot.

"Huh!"

This time he seized the opportunity and the three-pointer went up and down.

The point difference is once again stretched to 7 points!

The cheers at the scene exploded, this was already the fifth three-pointer Tang Tian scored in the first half!

Counting the three-point foul that Miller made before, the number of three-pointers Tang Tian actually threw was 6!

6 three-pointers in the half, Popovich really dared to give Tang Tian a chance, and Tang Tian could really shoot!

"Follow him!"

Spoelstra was a little angry, if it weren't for these three points thrown by Tang Tian, it would be the Heat who are leading by 7 points now!

Battier ran forward with his head down.

He wants to keep up, too! But Tang Tian weighs lighter than him and is faster than him, this kind of catching three-point is really difficult to defend!

The Heat's offense, James continued to play Jefferson in the low post, at this time Popovich shouted on the sidelines, and Tang Tian wrapped James under the basket.

James has a high ball quotient and waited until Tang Tian came over to pass the ball to Battier.

The Spurs' assistant defense rotated, and Battier gave the ball to Miller again, and Miller also scored on the outside three-point shot!

It was also his fourth three-pointer of the first half!

You have your plan, I have my ladder over the wall!

Battier couldn't completely follow Tang Tian, and the Heat directly let Wade switch defenses.

Wade could follow, but there was another chance on Green's side, and this time he finally seized the opportunity and the three-pointer from his shot fell into the net!

Looking back, James hit the basket with his back to attract the bag and then split Battier, and Battier's bottom corner three-pointer also scored!

After both sides changed to a small lineup, this is the beginning of the three-point exchange of three!

The scene of you coming and going, the fans who watched it were also excited.

The spectacle of this game has come up a lot at once.

The two teams have offense and defense against each other, and the score difference on the field has been fluctuating between 4~7 points.

On the final shot before halftime, James hit a buzzer-beating layup from Jefferson in the face frame, and the Heat ended the half with a two-point lead over the Spurs at 46-48.

The two sides were evenly matched at half-time.

Spoelstra had a good look on his face and high-fived the players one by one when they left the game.

Popovich, for his part, frowned slightly, such a stalemate had not been what he wanted.

Originally, Tang Tian's several three-pointers had already widened the difference, but James's strength forced the score back.

If the two sides do meet in the Finals, James will give him more than just one night.

During the 15-minute break at halftime, players on both sides returned to the dressing room to rest, and the head coach also seized the time to summarize and adjust the half.

Popovich talked about some details of the first half of the game, and as he was talking, he suddenly put down the pen in his hand and turned to look at Tang Tian.

"Can you defend against LeBron? Go around and don't let him catch the ball. He asked directly.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

This scene is somewhat familiar, as Cajon asked a similar question when UConn was playing San Diego State University.

It's just that compared to Cajon, Popovich asked more directly.

"LeBron is hard to defend right now, but we can use wheel battles, go around the front, grapple ...... All the ways, his weight is heavier than before, which means that his stamina will be used up faster, this is the way! ”

Perhaps afraid that his inspiration would be gone, Popovich then said quickly.
