With 14 seconds of time, Popovich didn't bother too much and positioned Zhang Xiaotian, who played well, as the first point.

Duncan received Leonard's serve, and then passed it to Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't attack immediately when he held the ball, and the Heat was also thinking about whether to step forward and force him to make a mistake.

But the scores are now tied between the two teams, and Danny Green has already committed five fouls in order to defend Wade, and they also have a physical advantage in overtime, so there is no need to take risks.

When the time reached 7 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian launched, and the Spurs' tactical arrangement did not leave the opponent a chance to attack.

Duncan personally came up to cover, and the cover was very solid.

Zhang Xiaotian changed direction and killed inside, and James quickly followed.

Although Duncan's cover was very good, James decided that Zhang Xiaotian was a breakthrough from the beginning, because the cover position was more than one step away from the three-point line.

There is no way to do it, the score is tied and the Spurs do not need to bet on three points, and if the cover is on the three-point line, it is more likely to be forced to stop by two players on the opposing side.

Zhang Xiaotian did not rush with his head covered this time, and when James stopped him, he made a very knee-testing action to pull the ball back, and then accelerated again to rush to the left.

He came so twice, James almost vomited blood, and pulled back to change direction, that is, James relied on extremely powerful muscle strength to forcibly change the center of gravity twice and followed, and ordinary people were already shaken.

But even then, James was thrown off half.

Wade reacted quickly, and at this time, he didn't care whether Zhang Xiaotian was a small role or not, and left and rushed over to attack.

Zhang Xiaotian forcibly stopped at this time and threw the ball in the direction of facing the basket.

This is the second option, if he can get rid of James with those two strokes just now, he will force a layup.

Making that kind of action, Zhang Xiaotian's body is also very burdened, at this time, if he wants to shoot, he will definitely not be able to jump as high as before, with James's bounce, he did not negotiate the half-step distance cap.

Zhang Xiaotian threw the ball in the middle, and James finally couldn't turn around anymore, so he could only watch like Wade.

The penalty area was facing the direction of the rebound, and only a big man with a dull face was seen standing on tiptoe and raising his arms to get the ball.

Bosh hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and at this time, Duncan seemed to be directly adjusted from slow motion to acceleration in the video, and the whole person suddenly accelerated and jumped forward.

Bosh raised his arms, but still a little slower, and Duncan turned on the acceleration hook, and he was still doing his normal thing.

With a long arm stretched out, one arm abused the basket, and the huge force made the basket buzz.

Duncan dunks and kills, and the stone Buddha is not old.

There were 0.8 seconds left on the clock after the referee's confirmation, but the Heat had no timeout.

James caught the ball and threw it casually, but the miracle did not appear.

At 106:104, James scored 30 points in the air, and the Spurs won the match point and are expected to end the series at home.

In this way, the Heat have stood on the edge of the cliff.

Now they want to get back to home, and the Spurs are hoping to get a win sooner.

After four games, the Spurs' physical advantage is gone.

Fortunately, they have two days to adjust before playing their last home game.

Because the Heat changed their starters before, the Spurs also made adjustments in training.

Zhang Xiaotian played against James in the last game, and Popovich planned to let him start instead of Split.

But when it comes to defending James, he's digging a hole for himself.

After Popovich took his main defense against James and Leonard as the defensive tactics in the fifth game, Zhang Xiaotian could only weakly say, "Coach, I exerted too much force in the previous game, and now my muscles are aching all over my body, and I may not be able to withstand James." ”

"You mean you don't want to start, do you? OK! Popovich looked majestic.

Zhang Xiaotian immediately coaxed, "I'll fight, I'm going to fight ......"

Do you want to exchange for a defensive card to stand up to the name of the defensive gate?

Zhang Xiaotian still thinks that it can't be worth it, and if it is exchanged, it may not be able to limit James to what extent, or it is more cost-effective to attack cards.

In the finals, one more point of attack is definitely more threatening.

He could only find Leonard privately and ask him to pay more attention after the game started.

It doesn't matter if you are blown up by James, the key is that the championship trophy is only one step away from flying.

Actually, don't worry too much, Popovich will definitely adjust immediately if he finds out that his condition is not right.

It's just that it might make the old man angry and greatly increase the time he spends sitting on the bench.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaotian trained more seriously.

Compared to the Spurs, the atmosphere on the Heat's training court is a little depressing.

James had a gloomy face, and the others had no interest in talking.

Standing on the pitch was the assistant coach, and Spoelstra was still in the room studying the footage of the game.

As the head coach Spoelstra is still young, he is even more energetic after leading the team to win the championship, and at first some people said that he was Riley's puppet, but now he is gradually recognized.

But after falling behind 1:3 in the finals, he was under more pressure than the players.

Why can't he beat the Spurs, who have an aging core, outsiders must think that he, the head coach, is much worse than Popovich.

In the first few games, the Spurs restricted James very much, and as soon as James's attack power rose, a ruthless character like Zhang Xiaotian appeared.

No, it's not just Zhang Xiaotian, the Spurs' role players, Danny Green, Gary Neal and others are breaking out one by one, but the Heat are getting fewer and fewer people available.

What to do, Spoelstra fell into deep thought with two dark circles under his eyes.

The game kicks off on June 16, and Spurs fans are already looking forward to the championship parade.

The staff is also ready to present the awards, Duncan did not say cruel words this time, but everyone can see that the old guy is ready, if he explodes with all his strength, it will not be less threatening than when he was young.

There are many nights of dreams, and the Spurs players don't want to go to Miami again at all, unless it's not a game, but a beach vacation.

The Heat really put out a small lineup again, and the Spurs With the aging of Duncan and Ginobili, the growth of Leonard, and the emergence of Zhang Xiaotian, the offensive points have become scattered, and it is not easy to focus on defense.

To win, there is only attack, only more fluid and strong success.

Spoelstra decided to cut back on the rotation and play a completely small lineup, starting with Ray Allen is about the same, Battier can top it, and the interior and the No. 1 position that needs to hold the ball can be eliminated.

In the last battle, the Heat played very resolutely from the beginning, and Bosh took the lead in scoring points.

Zhang Xiaotian continued to defend James according to Popovich's request, and started two balls, James did not exert his strength, and Zhang Xiaotian was still secretly celebrating his luck.

But soon, Zhang Xiaotian felt what it was like to be hit by a car.

Without the bonus of strength and confrontation, James knocked him aside with a change of direction acceleration.

This ball is not easy to play.
