The Heat responded, but it was the Spurs themselves who really went wrong.

Because they didn't reach the finals in a few seasons, several bigwigs did their best in the first game, and the second away game was tired, and the second was that they didn't have that energy, and their mentality changed after winning a game.

Old fritters who are not experienced will not have a problem with their mentality, and the Spurs were a little too optimistic after the win, and even forgot Duncan's age.

Now the Spurs have shifted the focus of their attack to the perimeter, but Duncan is still the needle of the sea, and he is easy to be contained if he does not play the perimeter.

At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, Ginobili, who was not in good shape, was replaced, Danny Green, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian came up together, and the Spurs planned to seize the outside defense and give Zhang Xiaotian more opportunities on the offensive end.

The Heat's current No. 3 position is still Mike Miller, this is their strategy, most of the time on the court to keep two or three shooters open space, even if the defense is a little bit of a problem and there is no chance to shoot, it's okay, because James breaks through and the Spurs must be pinched, and the outside shooter can't let go in the end.

That is, shooters are actually in the service of James and Wade, regardless of whether they have a chance to shoot or not.

Zhang Xiaotian hit a 2-point shot first, but James, who had been inaccurate in his previous shooting, also hit a 2-pointer.

Zhang Xiaotian hit Mike Miller again, and James also hit.

The inconsistent mid-range shots are all accurate, and James is out on the offensive end.

But then, James chose to switch to Zhang Xiaotian, which is what he often does, in addition to the big center, he often changes the defense of whoever feels good on the other side in important games.

This is admirable, but Zhang Xiaotian felt in trouble when he encountered this situation.

James's single defense ability is more than three levels better than Mike Miller, the key is that the speed and strength are above Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian called the cover sensibly.

However, the general cover really couldn't stop James, and Zhang Xiaotian broke through and had no chance to dismantle the ball to Leonard.

Leonard hesitated a little and the offensive opportunity was gone, this guy was not first-class on the offensive end, and today he was hatted by James and Wade in the game, resulting in a little lack of confidence now.

The time for the attack was almost up, and Zhang Xiaotian barely made a move.

He is the type who is more and more frustrated, what about James, he will hit him in the next ball, anyway, there is Leonard on the defensive end, and the two of them fight for one, and he doesn't believe it.

At this time, James broke through the pass again, and Ray Allen hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner.

It's not that the Spurs defense isn't paying attention, it's that James tore up their defense with a breakaway.

Zhang Xiaotian no longer hesitated, he asked for the ball again in the attack, and this time he didn't pass it after getting covered, but squeezed it inside very firmly.

The strength was a little at a loss, but it didn't matter, he looked a little staggered after the confrontation, but in fact the whole person was extremely relaxed, and the ball was thrown out of his hand and fell into the basket with a brush.

He hit, and Zhang Xiaotian's confidence was greatly increased.

But then James hit a three-pointer, and his hand was getting better and better.

There was still a chance, Zhang Xiaotian secretly encouraged himself, but he didn't expect that Spurs suddenly had a problem.

First Split was stealed, then Parker was stealed, and Split hit the basket and was given a big hat by James.

That is, in just over a minute, the Spurs went from being 10 points behind to 20 points behind.

The American Airlines arena was full of laughter, but the Spurs were in a desperate situation.

At this time, only four minutes after the fourth quarter, and it was away again, Popovich immediately chose to give up and defended against players who had not played before.

The old man thought about it, but still left Zhang Xiaotian on the field.

Zhang Xiaotian had the urge to use cards again for a moment, but then he calmed down, what he needed was a championship, and there was no need to use all his means in one game.

But he won't give up and he'll give it his all for the rest of the day.

The Heat are different, not only did they not replace the main team, but they also replaced Wade, who was rested, into the strongest lineup, because they could not afford to lose.

Zhang Xiaotian and James battled for another four minutes until Popovich replaced him, and then the Heat also replaced the main team, refreshing the players who had not played on the bench.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 16 points and 8 rebounds in this game, but everything was meaningless when he lost.

But the battle isn't over yet, and they'll be back in San Antonio.

"After a loss, it tends to bounce back," Parker said on behalf of the Spurs again, "Now it's our turn to deal with the loss and see how we bounce back." ”

However, many people don't believe this kind of statement, and now the mainstream view of the outside world is that the Spurs are indeed old, although Parker is still in his prime, but the GDP is no longer the GDP of six years ago.

The young people haven't fully grown up yet, they just had a physical advantage in the first game, and they still played very tangled, so they couldn't hold on in the second game.

What about restricting James on the offensive end, James has more than one means of scoring, and when it comes to the most critical moment, the means of limiting it don't work.

The Spurs were brutally crushed by the Heat's strength, and Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian combined were not as good as Paul George, let alone against James.

Moreover, the Pacers were able to play seven games against the Heat because of the slump of Wade and Bosh, and as things stand, the Spurs won the first game, but only that one.

If you limit James' scoring, you can't win, that's a fart.

Zhang Xiaotian's social media has been scolded by a large group of people.

He was very arrogant before, but he still offended a lot of people, and the cancer theory began to appear again, he played alone on the court, and the score of the Spurs fell into the abyss at that time.

Zhang Xiaotian was speechless, how could he be a small substitute to get such a lofty name as a tumor.

However, the team is very united, they know the problem very well, the Heat is indeed their big enemy, the two teams also have similarities, James is a big problem, but the biggest problem is that James is paired with a few consistent shooters such as Ray Allen.

Breaking through the ball, a very simple tactic, the Spurs also play, but the Spurs' three-point shooting is not as good as the opponent's, and only Danny Green alone can be regarded as a stable shooter.

And although the Spurs' style of play is a team, several attack points need to have the ball in their hands, GDP, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian are all together, and it is more difficult to match them than the Heat.

But if it is paired well, it is obviously more offensive than the Heat, because the Heat's role players rely more on James and Wade's balls.

In the finals, any wrong response can change the outcome.

In a tense atmosphere, the third game was played on the home court of the Spurs.
