Chapter 279: Making Presence Feel (2/5)
Trailing by 13 points at halftime, still on the Heat's road, that's obviously not good news.
"Tim, attack the basket more, Manu, you start in the second half, break more."
Popovich is a man who has seen big scenes, and although he is behind, he is not in a mess.
Tang Tian also listened carefully at this time.
James played violently in the half, and maybe he would do it all over the court, but the interior is still the Heat's weakness.
Popovich made the right choice.
"Don't be afraid of losing, it's okay to lose or win tonight, but you have to play your presence."
Before leaving, Popovich gave the Spurs a rare dose of chicken soup.
As a master of chicken soup, Tang Tian felt that Popovich's words were very incendiary, but they were also very practical.
They can't really let the Heat win a game, but whether they win or lose, they have to play presence!
Back in the second half, the Heat were still the same lineup.
But the Spurs, for their part, have a new starting lineup.
Dio was not in the starting line-up, but it was not Green who started in his place, but Ginobili.
This is the first time Popovich has put on such a lineup.
"The Spurs are taking the initiative to change." Brin said after seeing the Spurs' starting lineup for the second half.
'They need to change and if they continue to play like that in the first half, they have very little chance of winning tonight.' Miller opened his mouth to analyze.
"Did you find this helpful?" Brin asked.
Miller thought for a moment and shook his head.
The Spurs' new lineup is obviously trying to improve the offense, but James is in too good shape tonight, and the Heat are not false when it comes to offense.
And even if the Spurs tried desperately to get the score back in this quarter, they still lost in the end when their physical strength declined in the fourth quarter.
Popovich obviously knew this, and his expression was more serious.
But as he said at halftime, now that it's been like this, there's still a little chance to fight now, and if they play step by step, they really don't have a chance at all in the fourth quarter.
Popovich's words, he has played for Duncan once in his life, and he will not admit defeat easily.
Back in the second half, the Spurs took the lead.
Hammer tactics, Ginobili received the ball and shook Wade away, and the serpentine breakthrough was given to Duncan after killing the inside.
Duncan hits a high shot from the top after receiving the ball.
The Spurs scored first in the second half.
Ginobili's breakthrough was a little more agile than Parker's, and it also made the Heat more unpredictable.
But looking back, James hit a four-step layup with a small break step to make a color.
It's still a 13-point difference.
As Miller analyzed, James was in too good shape tonight, and the Spurs didn't have much of an advantage in the offense.
Ginobili made a strong basket in the front court and gave it to Parker, who took the ball and shook off Chanmos to continue to burst the basket.
The Spurs had a clear goal in the second half and went straight to the Heat's interior.
Bosh was whistled for a foul on Parker's top layup.
Parker hit both free throws, and the Spurs continued to chase down points.
James broke through the trap and gave the ball to Bosh, who also scored on the board.
In the first five minutes of the second half, the two teams fought a big battle, and no one could prevent anyone, and the score difference had been fluctuating back and forth at 11~13 points.
The fans at the scene were fascinated, but Miller and Brin in the commentary seat couldn't help but shake their heads.
The Spurs didn't get close at all, which was worse than they expected.
I can only say that the Heat are in really good shape tonight.
"Do you want to replace LeBron and rest?"
Fitzdale then opened his mouth and suggested to Spoelstra.
Although James has good physical strength, he has been attacking from the beginning to the present, especially when he came back in the second half.
Taking advantage of the fact that the score difference can be stabilized, it is just time to change him down to rest for a while.
Spoelstra shook her head.
The score difference of 11~13 points is not safe, and it is not easy to change James at this time.
It was a crucial game and he couldn't afford to risk it.
With a 13-point deficit on the court, Ginobili's step-back three-pointer missed, and Bosh grabbed a defensive rebound.
Now the Heat have a chance to continue to expand the score.
James continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.
After a sudden start after crotching on the spot, James pushed Leonard and continued to thrust in.
But at this moment, Tang Tian put Batil in the bottom corner and came over directly to help defend him.
It's a gambling remark.
James flicked the ball to Battier.
Battier's open corner three-pointer.
The eyes of the fans at the scene were full of anticipation.
The Heat have had a poor playoff season as role players this year, but Battier is the only one he can trust.
And it's what he's best at, the bottom three.
Battier made his first three-point shot of the game.
The ball is shot, and the trajectory looks very positive.
Cheers were on the horizon.
"Bang!"
Basketball jumps out of the basket!
James was attacking a lot tonight, and the role players didn't have many shots, and Battier's hands were obviously a little unwarm.
Duncan protects the defensive rebound.
The Heat stepped back quickly and didn't give the Spurs a chance to attack.
Ginobili motioned for Tang Tian to come over to block the dismantling, and after the dismantling, he accelerated to the upper Battier and rushed in.
Limited by his weight and movement speed, Battier's low-post defense and projection-oriented players are effective but not effective against breakaway players like Ginobili.
The Heat have help defense.
Tang Tian took the initiative to find Leonard's running position after blocking at this time.
Ginobili divided the ball in the bag, and he and Tang Tian had a sense of tacit understanding for a season.
Tang Tian's quick three-point shot after receiving the ball.
A critical shot.
"Huh!"
Three-point shot into the net!
After the start of Tang Tian's finals, the key ball has not been soft!
The difference is 10 points!
The scene was agitated.
A three-point point is nothing, but it was Tang Tian who scored three points, and they still remember Tang Tian's quasi-lore three-point in the first game!
James continued to attack in the frontcourt, Tang Tian continued to assist in defense, and James also continued to pass.
However, Leonard made a save after prejudging the ball in advance and broke the ball halfway!
A successful defense!
The Spurs immediately pushed back and Ginobili pushed forward with the ball.
Tang Tian followed up from the right side at this time.
James shouted at Tang Tian's defense as he retreated.
In the regular season, Tang Tian scored 6 three-pointers in a row in the half, and he was too impressed.
Qian Mos flew towards Tang Tian.
Wade saw Ginobili defend him from breaking through.
However, Ginobili chose to chase three points with a quick stop at this time.
Wade judged that there was a deviation, and then the save was a little slower.
The ball was shot, and the hearts of all the fans at the scene hung in the air.
"Huh!"
A heavy punch hit the heart, Ginobili's chase three points, also in!
The difference is 7 points!
The stalemate, which had been in place for almost half a quarter, was finally broken!
Popovich nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines.
The sense of presence he wanted was finally played after Tang Tian and Ginobili scored three points in a row!
