In fact, if Zhang Xiaotian doesn't jump out, Spoelstra will also consider him.

His big heart in the last quarter, Spoelstra is also used to it, Wade wants to rest, Bosh has no tactics to play with the ball, and the substitutes are a group of shooters, and he also needs Zhang Xiaotian to play with the ball at critical moments.

The Heat's ball possession, James, Wade and Zhang Xiaotian must be a little difficult to handle when they are all on the court, and it is still very easy to handle when they lead the team separately, which is easier to handle than when Zhang Xiaotian was on the Spurs.

Paul George didn't take a break, and at this time Zhang Xiaotian was really right up with the upstart of the league.

However, Paul George's current style of play is more mature, and most of the time he chooses to play without the ball, and it is estimated that there will not be a heads-up scene like last season.

Zhang Xiaotian's thoughts are different, no matter what, he must consume the other party more.

As soon as he got on the court, he called a cover and hit it with one step inside the three-point line.

Paul George's nerves tensed up at once, and he sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was destined to not be able to relax in this game.

Zhang Xiaotian was particularly fierce in defense, Paul George had consumed a lot of physical strength before, and now it was not yet the decisive moment and did not respond.

Even if he thinks that Zhang Xiaotian is very powerful, but the status of the team is different, and the tactical choice will not be the same.

The Pacers' bench interior line is not strong, and the space on the outside is not very large, and after the three-point shot, Zhang Xiaotian has to attack the ball again.

To be precise, it's a feint, all the strength is spent on the confrontation, and then the shot is a bit reluctant.

But unbeknownst to the opponent, after he drew the attention of the Pacers' defense, he sent the ball to the side, and Wade made a layup.

scored 4 points in a row at the beginning of the final quarter, and the Heat equalized the score in one fell swoop.

But the Pacers also have a way, and now the Heat are playing the No. 4 spot with Lewis, who is a type that declines relatively quickly, and can't stop Luis Scola, who is about the same age.

After Scola scored, the Pacers took the lead again.

Spoelstra couldn't calm down, and quickly replaced James again, and the Pacers immediately replaced Hibbert to strengthen their combat strength.

After this adjustment, the two new players both hit shots, and the game became more and more intense.

The Pacers were clearly more eager, and just four minutes into the fourth quarter, they made adjustments and replaced most of their main players.

At this time, it was the Pacers who took the opportunity first.

First, Ray Allen made a mistake and was hit by the opponent's fast break, and then the opponent's inside line scored again, and under the threat of the inside, Paul George hit a three-pointer again.

That is, in just over a minute, the Heat suddenly trailed by 7 points.

Bosh didn't play his mid-to-long-range throw when he came on the court, but instead hung Hibbert again.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaotian has no way to do this kind of thing, and it is impossible for James to defend against Hibbert.

It was also because of the pinch shot that Paul George would get the three points.

In the first half, this kind of thing is fine and can be done slowly, but any round in the final quarter could be the difference between victory and defeat, and Spoelstra frowned on the sidelines.

Not only on the inside, but also on the outside, Moneymoss and Ray Allen's representations were not good.

The combination of George Hill, Lance Stephenson and Paul George on the outside of the Pacers is extremely terrifying on the defensive end, and it is almost impossible to open the three-point line.

The Heat's outside defense can be said to have no advantage, they only have offense, if the offense can't be played, their outside line will be offset by the opponent, and the inside Pacers have an obvious advantage, and the game will be won by the opponent.

A regular season is nothing, but everyone doesn't want to lose.

Having not won a championship last year, the Heat have been under a lot of pressure this season.

When Hibbert got another frontcourt rebound and Bosh had to foul, the Heat called a timeout.

Spoelstra thought twice and came up with a lineup that he hadn't used before.

Wade played the No. 1 position, Zhang Xiaotian played the No. 2 position, and let Anderson play center and guard the interior with Bosh.

In this way, Zhang Xiaotian will have to face Lance Stephenson, the guy who likes physical confrontation with him, the guy who is more exaggerated than him to be precise.

However, if James plays the No. 3 position, the No. 2 and No. 3 will definitely change defenses frequently.

Lance Stephenson and Paul George will take turns to wear down James, and it can also ensure that there is always one person in the rotation who can follow James after the screen, and the other teams can't find a player who can play against James, and the Pacers barely have two.

Zhang Xiaotian is by the way, James only took his turn after that, but this incidental is more troublesome than the defensive elite of his average team, this game is a hard battle, and he needs to work hard at this time.

In short, come on, hurt each other, the outside defense ability of both sides, it is impossible to score easily on the outside.

Anderson came on the court and said that it was not possible to win the rebound, otherwise the team would have changed the lineup long ago.

He's actually helping to free up Bosh, and if Bosh can get a chance to hit two outside shots, the Pacers' defense will be disrupted.

Although the Heat were forced to adapt to the rhythm of their opponents for the first time since the new season, they were the first to make changes, but they still tried to retain their own style.

Otherwise, following the Pacers to play the inside, that is to find death, like those previous opponents who followed the Heat to play small ball, without that configuration, you can't be blindly led to the rhythm.

"Hey, boy, hurry up, I'm not going to spend too much time on you."

"Don't worry, you're not a beauty, I'll just score on your head."

Zhang Xiaotian and Lance Stephenson are entangled, while despising each other.

Trash talk can affect some people, and it can also make some people full of fighting spirit, like Zhang Xiaotian, a player who has experienced the amateur league and is very calm about anything.

Lance-Stephenson looked a little reckless, but not so easily provoked.

After Zhang Xiaotian swore a few words of greeting, he made a ball for James, not caring at all about what he just said.

Winning is the key, that's the ultimate goal of trash talk.

James hit a three-pointer, but the Pacers still honestly played inside, scoring and playing tirelessly, and now that the Heat are two Heat, it is not so simple for James to go in to help defend again, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to rotate defensively.

Hibbert scored another 2 points, this guy has already scored 24 points, and his offensive ability will improve a few notches as soon as he beats the Heat.

Zhang Xiaotian was also worried, but there was no change on the surface, and he still sprayed with Lance-Stephenson.

He made a rare command move at the No. 1 position when he received the ball on the outside, and when even his teammates were a little strange, he suddenly pulled up outside the three-point line.
