Chapter 274: Believe in Your Teammates at a Critical Moment (2/5)

God, I really played a big joke on him.

He worked hard for three quarters to erase the 15-point deficit.

Now let Tang Tian, the most undeserved person, face him and hit this key three points.

There's really no other scene that makes people hurt even more.

He might as well not chase this point!

But the good thing is that the Heat still have time.

The last 11 seconds.

Spoelstra laid out a James one-on-one tactic.

With 3 points behind, the Spurs will most likely defend their 3-point deficit by 2 points.

With enough time, they can score a quick 2 points and then bet on the Spurs' free throws.

Pause back.

The Heat brought Miller, Battier and James Jones all on the court.

These players are used to pull space.

Wade took the ball to the front court and handed it to James.

The Spurs' defense on the court has really expanded a lot.

Spoelstra's choice was right, and James had a great success rate in grabbing 2 points.

James' breakthrough in the middle, Dio was a little unbearable.

The Spurs' weak-side defense shrank inside.

Popovich was focusing on the three-point marker, but they didn't want James to score the two points too easily.

However, at the critical moment, James did not make a shot after squeezing away Dior, but shook his hand and passed the ball to James Jones on the outside!

Jones has a very good three-point opportunity!

The hearts of the fans at the scene suddenly hung in the air.

James' pass caught everyone by surprise.

But it's an opportunity.

Jones is a three-point shooter with excellent mental quality, and if he can hit this three-pointer, the Heat will be able to tie the score!

Considering the physical advantage, the Heat have a significantly better chance of going into overtime to win!

Jones shot.

All eyes on the scene were focused on the spinning basketball!

The ball falls over the highest point.

"Bang!"

Basketball jumps out of the basket!

Jones played less than five minutes in the game, and Spoelstra replaced him purely to pull space.

His body wasn't completely warm, and he wasn't mentally prepared for it!

Split defends key defensive rebounds.

James had only the option of fouling.

The last 5 seconds.

As long as Split makes a free throw, the Spurs can basically win the game.

James glanced at the scorer, removed his braces, and shook his head.

Teammates don't give you anything!

Split's free throw shooting rate is over 7 percent, which is relatively accurate among big players.

However, there was still psychological pressure at the critical moment, and he hit two free throws and one hit.

A margin of 5 seconds and 4 points was enough to ensure that the Spurs won the game.

The Heat called a final timeout.

Because the time is very short, the Heat team does not have a player like Tang Tian, who can run quickly and has the ability to steadily receive and shoot three-point shots.

Spoelstra ended up setting up Wade's singles.

James sends the ball up front, and his teammates pull away.

Wade continued to change direction and made a three-point shot after shaking off Green's defense.

"Bang!"

The ball jumps out of the basket.

Three-point shooting isn't Wade's forte, even if he's a strong player on the key shot.

The last rebound was protected by Dio and held in his arms.

"Toot!"

The final whistle blows.

The Spurs finally defeated the Heat 101-97 to get their first win in the Finals!

At the moment of the final whistle, Dior threw the ball into the air, and the ATT arena was boiling.

The Spurs were not favored at the beginning of the season, and even in the playoffs they were not the favorites to win the championship.

But now they have reached the Finals, and they have knocked out the most promising Heat in the first game!

They have been questioning all the way to now, and it is really inspiring.

The Spurs players were shouting around Tang Tian and Duncan at this time.

This game was full of twists and turns, and even if they were steady, they were a little difficult to restrain themselves.

Duncan's 30 points and 15 points were the biggest contributors to the team's victory, but Tang Tian's big heart three points at the last moment really decided the outcome of the game.

The Heat team members looked a little lonely.

They were just one minute away from winning, a goal, even a pass.

James scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Wade's 22 points and 5 assists and Bosh's 17 points and 11 boards were also useless.

The game was full of ups and downs, and fans on social media were also talking about it after the game.

"I can now be sure that the NBA was recorded in advance, and the godfather hit a lethal three-pointer to kill the Heat, and he didn't choose me in the first place?"

"Haha, LeBron sighed after Don hit that three-pointer, Pat Riley at the bottom of this pit is really harmful!"

"It's really not a joke, the Heat role players shot 1 of 11 from the outside, and Tang Tian on the opposite side shot 3 of 6 alone!"

"Actually, if Don is on the Heat, they can still run a tactical opportunity on the last shot."

Don then hit a three-pointer to tie the game and go into overtime, where the Heat used their physical advantage to beat the Spurs.

"And yet...... Don is not in the Heat! ”

"Heart-piercing......"

"Actually, what I don't understand more is James's choice, he has a good chance to score two quick points with that ball, and the Heat still have a timeout."

"That's fine, Jones got a big open opportunity, it's just that Jones didn't take it."

"That being said, but I think as a superstar you still have to believe in yourself and also take into account the fact that Jones has played less."

"That's how LeBron plays."

"Believing in your teammates when it counts? (→ܫ←)”

"Come on, take my 30-meter knife and cut Xiu'er's hair!"

……

Winning the first game was a huge morale boost for the Spurs, but Popovich was still quite cautious.

On the afternoon of the second day after the game, he arranged his daily defensive drills.

And after the training, the players were also brought together.

"Which of you wants to defend LeBron in the next game?"

Popovich asked a very normal question.

The Spurs did a great job in their last game both to play inside and to control role player play.

But he didn't do well defending against James.

Popovich now wants someone to step up.

Ginobili and Green both looked at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian had an expression on his face what you see me doing.

At his current weight, is he a tooth sacrifice for others?

At this moment, Leonard suddenly took the initiative to raise his hand.

This move surprised everyone, Leonard's words had never done such a thing as taking the initiative before.

"Kehuai, are you sure?"

Popovich confirmed.

Leonard didn't speak, just nodded.

"Okay, then it's decided, don't let me down."

Popovich quickly made a decision.

Tang Tian quietly gave Leonard a thumbs up at this time.

Popovich's move seems sloppy, but it is estimated that in the old man's heart, Leonard is the person he wants.
