The Spurs shot too smoothly in the first half, playing cards for fear of eating, playing for fear of resting, and their shooting percentage in the third quarter was almost half of the front.

There is a reason for the feel, and there is also a reason for the strength of the heat.

By the end of the third quarter, the Heat had chased the score to just six points.

The game was played within 10 points, and the key was that Duncan obviously went wrong in the second half.

The Heat's strength is still effective, Duncan is still strong, but the age is also there.

At the beginning of the last quarter, except for the No. 1 position, the Heat were all the main forces.

has reached the finals, and the Heat has also copied the main tactic, that is, to use young strength to suppress the Spurs.

Duncan made a mistake at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the ball was successfully tackled by James.

Duncan, the Heat has made up their minds not to let him be a demon again.

The Spurs were also an all-out mainstay, as they didn't play well off the bench in the second half of the third quarter.

As a result, the two teams thought of together, and they both wanted to take advantage of the last quarter to start pressing a wave, but they didn't expect to bump into each other.

At this time, it was obvious that the Heat's attack power was stronger, and James and Zhang Xiaotian scored in succession.

However, Bosh received his fourth foul in less than two minutes, and the Heat had to make adjustments first.

The same is true for the Spurs, at this time Dio staying on the court has little effect, James and Zhang Xiaotian can play him, and Popovich immediately attacked with three guards.

The problem on the defensive end, Zhang Xiaotian played the Spurs more of a headache than defending Wade.

Because Zhang Xiaotian is a forward player, Danny Green is strong defensively, but when Zhang Xiaotian or James is strong against him, sometimes it takes a bit of luck.

It's nothing, it's just that Spurs are more serious about attacking right now.

In the second half, Duncan couldn't be a pillar on the inside, and the outside was also contained by the Heat, and the Spurs needed players who could tear apart the defense.

So soon they were replaced by Ginobili, and Ginobili's defense was not bad, but when age came, physical fitness declined, and the Spurs were replaced with Dio, or Dio had to top it.

Popovich is actually helpless, James and Wade are troublesome enough, plus Zhang Xiaotian, it is really difficult to defend, plus they don't want to lose the advantage of the inside.

It's so much trouble to meet one of the best teams in the league.

This is also the Spurs, if other teams adjust like this, the players may be blown up by the Heat before their bodies are hot.

But now the pressure is on the Heat, who are still behind, and the Spurs continue to put Duncan on the court, in addition to deterrence, for defense.

With Duncan here, the Heat's break-through of all three ball-holding points will be affected.

With the Spurs inside and outside being curbed to a certain extent, they have also increased their singles.

It's not Parker, it's not Ginobili, it's Leonard, who holds the ball in the low post.

Even if the strength of the last quarter is greatly improved, Zhang Xiaotian feels troublesome to completely restrict Leonard.

It's not just that he's improved this year, Leonard doesn't know when he's no weaker than Paul George on the offensive end, especially this one when he feels good.

The main defense Leonard reached the last quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian's physical strength was also in some trouble.

However, such a fight will not defeat him.

He often practiced with Leonard when he was with the Spurs, and he often played against James with the Heat.

So to defend small forwards, Zhang Xiaotian is the most experienced.

In the final four minutes of the game, first Wade scored a layup, then James steals Dior, and Ray Allen hits a three-pointer.

2 points, and in the second half of the final quarter, the Heat finally let the score close.

Leonard responds by hitting Zhang Xiaotian for a foul.

But his physical strength is not like it was when the game was first played, and Leonard only hit one of two free throws.

Next, Zhang Xiaotian replied to one, and chased the score of the two sides to only 1 point with the best mid-range shot.

"Kehuai, didn't you always want to compete with me in the arena before, and today I will defeat you."

"I'll win." Leonard replied for the first time.

Seeing the other party's determined eyes, Zhang Xiaotian didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to spew trash talk like this.

The consequences can never be considered on the pitch, because what will happen to them is in their hands.

Leonard turned and leaned back to score another two points, but then he paid for a foul.

Leonard, who has always been calm, was also excited at this time.

The battle for the number three position is difficult to decide for the time being, but they can't really decide the game.

Even if Leonard feels good today and cuts the most points, even if Zhang Xiaotian's strength skyrockets in the last quarter, they are not the absolute core of the two teams.

On the Spurs' side, Parker broke through, but James came to steal the offense.

At 3 minutes and 35 seconds, James forced the opponent to make a long pass to Wade, the Spurs were not in a hurry to return to defense, and the Heat overtook the score 101-100, and Popovich immediately asked for a timeout.

The final moment is certainly the most trusted lineup, with the four main players plus Ginobili's one big and four small.

The Heat are also the four main Garay Allen, and in some ways the options of the two teams are very similar.

The game continued, but Duncan, who had been playing soy sauce, stood near the free throw line and pretended to make a strong kill with a dribble, Bosh was squeezed through, and James chose to foul.

If the peak Duncan is directly deducted, the Heat will have a chance to foul now.

Duncan hit both free throws at the critical moment, and the Spurs took the lead again.

For more than a minute in the next minute, both sides were playing iron, and the Spurs did not use a double interior line after all, and to decide the final victory, they still needed to hit the outside line.

At 2 minutes and 15 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian took advantage of the opportunity for the two sides to get entangled in the interior to point to the frontcourt rebound.

Wade caught the basketball that Zhang Xiaotian clicked over, pressed it inside and got a free throw almost.

Two free throws and one hit, and at this time the two teams were tied.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Parker showed a big heart, rushed in again, and drifted to hit a 2-pointer.

The opponent hits, the Heat also hits, and that's often the case in the matchup.

James rushed up and ran into the inside, and was hit by Zhang Xiaotian.

Time is running out and the atmosphere is getting tense.

Leonard also had a shooting problem at this time, and once again singled Zhang Xiaotian and was interfered with to shoot iron.

With 56 seconds left, Bosh hit a shot from the outside.

Seeing that they had taken the lead, the Heat's rebounding had a problem.

Ginobili hit a three-pointer for the second time with 18 seconds left.

At the moment of life and death, Zhang Xiaotian received the ball and ignored Danny Green's block, and hit it again outside the three-point line.

The Heat only had six seconds to give, and in the Spurs' final offense, Parker hit a buzzer-beating shot under Duncan's cover.

At 109:109, the Spurs sent the game into overtime.

At this time, the main players of both sides are two five fouls and two four fouls, the Spurs are safe with Duncan, and the Heat is safe with Wade, and they are no longer the team's first scoring option.

That said, anything can happen in overtime.
