Chapter 292: You have only one mission
The second round of the finals was again at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
The Spurs host the Miami Heat.
Deng Hongfei's performance in the last game was not good, which disappointed many fans.
In this game, we all hope that he can bounce back.
Pre-war deployment.
Miami Heat head coach Spoelstra focused on Duncan and Parker in the circle.
He has long figured out that a lot of Spurs' tactics revolve around the No. 1 and No. 4 positions.
And from the start of the playoffs to the present, both of these points are two of the most consistent points on the Spurs roster.
The starting line-up he arranged was shown on the big screen.
There hasn't been much change in personnel.
No. 1, Mario Chanmos.
No. 2, Dwayne Wade.
No. 3, LeBron James.
No. 4, Rashad Lewis.
Position five, Chris Bosh.
On the other hand, Spurs' starting lineup is just as regular.
No. 1, Tony Parker.
No. 2, Danny Green.
No. 3, Kawhi Leonard.
Fourth, Tim Duncan.
Five, Thiago Split.
There is no doubt that the Heat's strong point lies in the second and third positions, and the weak link lies in the interior defense.
Both Rashad Lewis and Bosh have suffered quite a bit against Duncan on the inside.
Both of these interior players have an outward style of play, excelling at mid-to-long-range shooting and limited finishing ability under the basket.
Therefore, it is more reliable for Split to sit in the number five position.
Kawhi Leonard still takes on the role of defending James.
The young No. 3 is the strongest shield on the Spurs' front line, used to take on the enemy's ferocious firepower - the little emperor LeBron James.
In last year's Finals, Leonard showed superhuman defensive efficiency against James.
Admittedly, it's hard for a player like LeBron to really defend him to death, and it's enough to be able to limit him to a certain extent.
In the second position, Danny Green suffered a little against the Flash.
Generally speaking, just from the face of the cards, the two teams have advantages and disadvantages with different characteristics.
The Spurs focus on team basketball, while the Heat rely mainly on the superstar effect, and the power of the Big Three is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb.
The top ten people took to the court.
The game is on the verge of breaking out.
As soon as the opening period began, the Spurs had the lead, and Duncan jumped to possession of the ball.
Tony Parker organized the first offense, and the Spurs' pick-and-roll screens and cross-runs remained fluid amid the rhythmic offensive melody.
Kawhi Leonard received the ball in the open space and threw his first shot of the game.
It's a pity that it didn't hit.
LeBron James picked up the basket and dribbled to accelerate on his own.
He is like a tank with sports wheels, riding in the dust, surpassing everyone, surrounded by unrivaled domineering spirit, throwing off all defenders, rushing into the basket to blow up the sky and dunk the tomahawk to get the first point of the game!
2-0, Miami Heat opened with great momentum.
Deng Hongfei looked at LeBron James, a superstar who had already stood at the top of the NBA when he was still in school.
A true son of heaven.
As soon as he entered the alliance, he was extremely bright.
Today.
He is already a four-time MVP winner and a two-time FMVP winner, and a well-deserved phenomenal and historical player.
Countless fans once expected him and Kobe Bryant to stage a 23-on-24 showdown in the finals, but due to various coincidences, they have not been able to make the trip.
Deng Hongfei still remembers that he subscribed to a magazine called "Diamond Basket", and there were several issues of 23 to 24 columns on it, which also made him look forward to a direct dialogue between the two.
In the first match, he was not able to really immerse himself in the game because of his preoccupation, and he did not pay close attention to the player he looked up to as a child.
Whether it is Kobe Bryant or James, they are leaders in this field.
I love basketball because of Kobe, and I know what true all-around is because of James.
Scoring, rebounding, tandem teams, all proficient.
This is the biggest characteristic of the little emperor, self-contained.
For a moment, he seemed to have become one of the thousands of fans at the scene, admiring the stars that could only be seen in the video.
The Heat's offense was clearly more intense than the previous one.
Wade and James are both players with strong impact ability.
The second and third positions took turns bombing the Spurs defense, which was extremely lethal, but fortunately, when the opponent's offense was overwhelming, the Spurs could still attack at their own pace.
"Watch for fouls, don't foul."
** Vicky reminds Split of the action on the sidelines.
The latter has already committed one foul, and he almost carried a second one on his back, but fortunately, it was finally counted on Duncan's head, so that he would not end early.
"They're hitting too hard, it's not a way to go on like this, and Kawye has already committed a foul, so he's definitely going to be a little bit more restrained in LeBron's defense, and it's not good for us at the moment."
Udoka said beside Vicky.
How could the latter not know this, so he made a substitution adjustment with 7:06 left in the first quarter, when the score was 10-14 and the Miami Heat led by 4 points.
"Manu up, Aron on."
Vicky said, pointing to Ginobili and Baines.
Baines is the player he placed in the No. 3 position to replace Leonard's strongest shield position.
He is also the best person to defend James at the moment.
This substitution made some fans a little disappointed, they didn't see Deng Hongfei, and couldn't help but start to think, is it because of the poor performance in the last game that ** Vic decided to abandon it?
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be.
After all, everyone has a bad time, and only one game will never be beaten into the cold.
After the substitution, the Spurs' defensive performance maintained their previous toughness.
However, the offensive end is a little inferior.
Baines' offensive skills and awareness of open cuts are not as good as Leonard's, and there are many open spaces that he can't see.
Fortunately, the Heat's offensive efficiency is not too high, and under the Spurs' high-intensity defense, even LeBron James cannot guarantee that he will solve the problem every time.
At this time, Wade stepped up in the middle distance.
He used his superb back-to-back skills and superhuman physicality to frequently single-handedly beat Ginobili.
The latter did everything he could to resist, but Wade's hit rate was extremely consistent.
It doesn't work very well.
** Vicky couldn't help but look at Deng Hongfei, who seemed to have sensed it, and his eyes were shining at the right time.
Collide with the sight in the air.
Feeling that this was completely different from the last game, ** Vicky felt a little relieved, so he waved his hand, "Deng Hongfei is ready to play and replace Tony." ”
"Remember, you have only one mission, lock up Dwayne Wade!"
