"It looks like the Spurs are going to focus on the interior today, and the Spurs have been done by Tim Duncan and Thiago Split in the opening few offenses, although Popovich's arrangement looks very targeted, but this arrangement can't give full play to their outside strength."

"El, I know what you want to say, but I think that Popovich's arrangement is very shrewd, the inside line is the strong point of the Spurs, and it is also the short board of the Heat, it is a very normal and correct thing to use your own strong point to hit the opponent's shortcomings, and Popovich's arrangement can also give full play to Meng Xu's strength, Meng Xu is not a player who can only score, his defense, his strategy, are indispensable things for the Spurs, but the Heat, After the Spurs are determined to play inside, they should consider how to respond to this change from the Spurs. “

After the start of the game against the Spurs at home, the Heat still followed their established tactics, basically James broke through Wade, Wade broke through James, and other players, including Chris Bosh, all surrounded James and Wade, either running and responding, or waiting for James and Wade's ball, compared with the Heat's tactics that mainly rely on breakthroughs and shots, the Spurs are a completely different tactic, no matter how the Spurs' outside line passes, In the end, it was Tim Duncan or Thiago Split under the basket who made the final decision, because compared to the Heat, who only played Chris Bosh, the Spurs' interior advantage is too great, in this case, if Popovich doesn't grasp the Heat's shortcomings and chase and play, then he won't be Popovich.

Similar to what Magic Johnson just said to Michaels, Eric Spoelstra, who was standing on the sidelines, is indeed very anxious now, the Spurs slammed the inside, Chris Bosh alone can't resist at all, if LeBron James, who is in the guest position of the fourth, goes to fight hand-to-hand with Duncan and others under the basket, it is undoubtedly the most unwise choice to use his own shortcomings, although James is strong, but if he really wants him to fight hand-to-hand with Duncan or Thiago Split, then James will not take advantage of it at all.

However, Eric Spoelstra is also very hesitant to adjust the tactics on the court and strengthen the Heat's interior defense, because no matter how the Heat strengthen the interior, their interior strength cannot be compared with the Spurs, and Eric Spoelstra is also a little worried, once the Heat strengthens the defense of the interior, will the Spurs transfer the ball and offense to the outside, if that is the case, the Heat will be led by the Spurs by the nose, as for the inclusion of Duncan or something, It's not in Eric Spoelstra's consideration, and Duncan is sandwiched, so what should Meng Xu do? What's more, in addition to Duncan and Meng Xu, Spurs guard Tony Parker also has the ability to average 20 points per game.

Although there was some hesitation about how to adjust, Eric Spoelstra called a long timeout.

"Meng, after the timeout, the Heat are likely to step up their defense of Thiem, either by using full-court pressing or half-court pressing in advance, so after the timeout, you can strengthen your individual offense." In terms of on-the-spot adaptability, Eric Spoelstra is obviously inferior to Popovich, so after the pause, when Eric Spoelstra was still hesitating how to change, Popovich had already made a strategy to deal with it in advance, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Heat's change range is too small, and if you want to cool Duncan, the Heat can only use a few methods.

"Hmm." After taking the water cup handed over by the assistant coach and drinking it all, Meng Xu nodded at Popovich, Meng Xu believes in Popovich's ability very much, and after his comeback, Meng Xu looks at the data very lightly, so basically how Popovich arranges, Meng Xu plays.

After arranging the arrangement of Meng Xu, Popovich pulled several other players who were about to play, and only after making arrangements one by one did he return to his seat.

"FVCK, is this guy a roundworm in my stomach?" After the Heat's offensive round ended, seeing the Spurs' offensive position, Eric Spoelstra had a hunch that the Spurs' offensive focus was going to shift from Duncan to Meng Xu, and when Eric Spoelstra's hunch became a reality, Eric Spoelstra turned his head to look at Popovich, who was sitting on the bench and chatting with Ginobili next to him, and scolded angrily in his heart. The decision to replace Battier with Udonis Haslem shifted the focus of the Spurs' offense from the interior to the perimeter after the Heat strengthened their interior defense.

Unlike Eric Spoelstra, who was full of anxiety, the audience at the American Airlines Arena was very excited at the moment, because when Meng Xu held the ball on the outside, it was LeBron James who was defending him at the moment, this is today's game, James' first one-on-one defense Meng Xu, and Meng Xu's first attack with the ball, Meng Xu vs. James, the former first person VS the current first person, this is something that countless fans and viewers dream of, So when Meng Xu appeared in front of James with the ball, the American Airlines Arena instantly resounded with a burst of violent cheers.

"Come on!" In the cheers of the audience, James bent his body slightly, and looked intently at Meng Xu who was facing him slapping basketball, although in the regular season this season, even when Meng Xu had not retired, James had played against Meng Xu many times, but in the playoffs, James had never won against Meng Xu, so after Meng Xu's comeback, James was waiting for this day, waiting to meet Meng Xu in the finals and beat him in the finals.

As the offensive core of the Heat, James rarely does his best on the defensive end, because he doesn't have so much energy and not so much physical strength, but in today's game, when James faced Meng Xu, James was ready to take out 120 points of energy to defend Meng Xu, not only James, but Meng Xu, who is now holding the ball, is also very focused at this moment, because Meng Xu smelled danger from James, and Meng Xu also knew that James was serious, What kind of presence will it be on the defensive end.

After taking a quick step towards the left side of his body, but was blocked by James, Meng Xu changed his face to a back basket and leaned sideways on James, and then Meng Xu began to lower his body's center of gravity, preparing to use his back to break through to get rid of James's defense.

After the center of gravity of the body was lowered to a suitable position, Meng Xu began to twist his body left and right, first lowered his shoulders to the left side, slapped the basketball and pushed it back, but at the moment of the end of the force, he turned around towards the right side of the body, but James behind Meng Xu was unmoved, just stretched out his arm to symbolically block it, and then watched Meng Xu complete the turn and slip past the right side of his body.

James, who was full of defense just now, found that Meng Xu had already thrown himself off after turning around in a hurry, and then lowered his body and changed direction very easily, shook Bosh very easily, and scored a layup.

First make a feint to turn to one side, and then turn to the other side with the trend, pull back the body when the body turns halfway, and turn in the original direction, which is the most commonly used way for Meng Xu to turn around, although most of the defenders know Meng Xu's routine, but there will be many defensive players, after Meng Xu's series of feints, Meng Xu is so shaken that he doesn't know which side to defend.

And James, who was concentrating, didn't eat Meng Xu's feints at all in this defense, but just stretched out his arm to block it, and didn't move his steps at all, but just when James was waiting for Meng Xu to pull back his body and turn in the original direction, Meng Xu turned into a real turn, took the opportunity to complete the back turn, and got rid of James's defense.

After Meng Xu successfully made a layup, James, who stopped his steps, looked at Meng Xu's back, biting his lip tightly with his teeth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and entanglement.
