'The Spurs players know me well and I remember training with them now, but I'm going to get better and they'll see a stronger me.'

Zhang Xiaotian was full of confidence before the game, if he can win the game, he is a god, if he continues to fail, he is a small role player who can only talk about it.

The all-attribute improvement is not an enhancement in some aspect, although the improvement is not much, but it can make Zhang Xiaotian's strength stronger by a notch.

So as soon as Game 2 began, the Spurs quickly felt different.

Twice, Zhang Xiaotian took advantage of the Spurs' inability to defend and score on the outside, and his shots were very decisive.

Popovich squinted his eyes on the sidelines, although Zhang Xiaotian has not had a explosive performance this season, but in the Spurs' tactics, he is also guarding against his breakthrough and outbreak.

The Spurs are too familiar with Zhang Xiaotian, he often has super performances when his basic strength is still weak, and this season he has become more consistent, and it is not impossible to become stronger on the scoring end.

Popovich immediately went into adjustment and pulled Split down first.

He directly used Leonard to defend Zhang Xiaotian, and James used Dior to defend.

Dior's defense against James is to let go, and James is really a little pressured by this move, because Dio has weight, and Duncan will help defend when he enters it, which makes him very uncomfortable.

There were still problems with the first few shots, but James was no ordinary star.

If he had been able to solve him completely, the Heat would have died in the East long ago.

After finding the touch, James hit it in a row, and the Spurs used Dior's trick to be considered useless.

Popovich immediately adjusted, switching to Leonard to the main defense, and Zhang Xiaotian replaced Ginobili with the main defense.

Because Dior's footsteps are not so fast, Zhang Xiaotian will definitely not be able to put a basket on the outside line.

It's okay to use Danny Green, but the Spurs are already on the offensive lineup by this time.

Ginobili's defensive footsteps are no problem, and it is impossible for Zhang Xiaotian to get rid of them easily, but he still takes advantage of them if he plays with strength.

This is also no way, the Spurs lack a No. 3 substitute, and the power of Danny Green is also exploded.

This also has something to do with the Spurs' style of play, compared to the defensive No. 3 position, the Spurs prefer to throw wild shots on the outside of the three, of course, the starting lineup has Leonard both offensive and defensive.

It's just that when encountering an unconventional lineup like the Heat, with two difficult forwards Zhang Xiaotian and James, their playing style will be a little troublesome, and they can only offset it with offense.

The Spurs are not a defensive team right now, and their offense has been defended better.

But their defense can't break through the average team, but there will be some flaws in front of a first-class team like the Heat.

At the last moment of the first half, Zhang Xiaotian hit two points, and the two sides tied 43:43, and Zhang Xiaotian had already scored 10 points in the first half this time.

The scoring of the main lineup is still the Heat lead, and the Spurs' bench lineup led by Ginobili has once again shown its strength.

This is all normal, the Heat are originally star strong, and the Spurs are overall excellent.

However, Ginobili came up to change Zhang Xiaotian and also paid the price of three fouls.

Zhang Xiaotian's advance efforts also gave the Heat more options, but how long his state can be maintained, Spoelstra is completely unclear.

Zhang Xiaotian can also be called a star at this level, but compared to All-Star level players, there is still a lack of stability, of course, this is the opinion of the outside world, Zhang Xiaotian himself knows very well when he can be powerful.

The Spurs want to stop him unless they treat him as a James defense, but there is a problem, the team has a James, and the Spurs don't have so many players to use, so they can only rely on the overall defense.

In the third quarter, the Heat took Zhang Xiaotian as a containment, and James began to fire with all his might.

Leonard quickly paid the price of three fouls in order to defend James, and the Spurs could only continue to let Dio defend James and add three guards.

In such a situation, Duncan could not continue to conserve his strength, and he also had various strong attacks on the inside, and Bosh and Anderson couldn't get it.

And Oden, at this time, did not dare to use it at all.

This time, James' hand was completely up, and the Spurs could only rely on Duncan to support it.

But after the rotation began, the Spurs' outside line began to show signs of soaring three-pointers.

Originally, the Heat were firmly ahead, but a few three-pointers turned over to the Spurs.

The Heat didn't let the main team play against the top, and at that point, they also tried to put Lewis and James Jones on the court, but the effect was not very obvious.

James' tactics with shooters don't work well in front of the Spurs.

Even the players in the Spurs who don't have a good single defense, and the defensive rotation is also extremely fast.

And the Heat's shooter group does not have Ginobili's ability to score independently, and it is indeed a bit of a loss on the battlefield at the peak of the league.

The game was going to be won or until the final quarter, and James went down to rest for the time being.

As soon as Zhang Xiaotian burst into with the ball, he immediately suffered the treatment of the core and was caught by the Spurs.

He distributed the ball to Bosh on the flank, who still had an advantage on the offensive end, and the Spurs couldn't defend it inside.

At the critical moment, Bosh still showed the true character of a giant, and hit the shot steadily.

At this time, the Spurs let Belineri stick to the defense, and Dior assisted in the defense. It's not the best option, it's just that Leonard and Ginobili have already committed a lot of fouls, and Danny Green has to keep an eye on Wade again.

In terms of footsteps, Wade is faster, and there is no way around it.

But Zhang Xiaotian didn't break through, and after staring directly at Belineri and playing two, the Spurs could only change again.

Popovich is a quick reflex, and although sometimes his ideas are not understood by others, most of the time they are very useful adjustments.

First, they replaced Ginobili, and after seeing that it still couldn't solve the problem, the Spurs still replaced Leonard and Duncan.

The Heat also replaced James, and at this time it was Leonard who played the No. 4 position, because the Heat had a good hand this time, and Dior's defensive weaknesses were magnified.

However, Duncan's physical strength has some problems due to his desperate efforts in the third quarter, and he was caught by the Heat at the right time and made a mistake as soon as he came up.

This is a key issue, Popovich is still letting Duncan deter the inside, but the offense has been mainly on the outside.

But the problem wasn't just Duncan, James hit Leonard again and caused the latter to foul, and Leonard committed five fouls.

What to do, except for Leonard and the Spurs, no one can limit James, who has recovered his touch from the outside.

Popovich could only be replaced by Dio, but Leonard also took the risk of not going down, but going to the number three position.

But then Zhang Xiaotian went all out to attack Leonard, Leonard was not afraid, and the defense was still aggressive, but Popovich was a little worried, so he replaced Leonard first.

The Spurs' defense is starting to stretch, and if the Heat can't take advantage of this opportunity, they won't continue.
