If Leonard doesn't take the initiative to help defend, it won't be easy to make him foul.

However, the Heat don't need to deliberately deal with him, as long as they let the Spurs' defense have some scruples.

James and Zhang Xiaotian scored one after another, and Popovich was terrified.

As a result, a minute later, Leonard was replaced again, and the Spurs didn't dare to bet on the Heat's style of play.

It's Danny Green's turn to defend Zhang Xiaotian again, in fact, before the end of the quarter, Danny Green was enough, but now it's a bit unsafe, especially when Dio can't completely limit James.

The Heat also used a small tactic, that is, the blocking between Zhang Xiaotian and James.

Disrupting the Spurs' defense, James pushing Danny Green, or Zhang Xiaotian shooting Dior outside, is obviously more successful than simply holding the ball.

Popovich was walking around the sidelines, and he knew what the Spurs were lacking right now, but there was no way around it, and their defense was flawed when Leonard wasn't on the court.

What the Spurs have to do now is make up for it with offense.

But today, Danny Green's offense was like a piece of, leaving the old man helpless.

Duncan and Ginobili also had no touch, they were no longer the all-powerful fighters they were at their peak, and Popovich was a little irritated when he saw this scene.

Now the most reliable on the offensive end is Parker, first Ray Allen defended, and then replaced Wade, but he was not able to limit Parker.

The Heat brought in Moneymoss again, and Ray Allen wasn't in good shape today.

Both sides are battling it out, and the Heat are clearly on the offensive side.

At 6:58, James broke through the ball, and Wade seized the opportunity at the three-point line.

At 85:86, the gap between the two sides was suddenly only one point.

Popovich's eyelids jumped, the situation felt all too familiar, and he immediately asked for a timeout.

Unable to wait any longer, he replaced Leonard again.

In just a few minutes, the extremely experienced manager overturned his previous judgment several times and made conflicting decisions, which can only be said to be too intense.

Sometimes it looks like the score is about the same, but the control of the game is completely different between the two teams.

Why is it so difficult to win a game, is it because the team is not playing well, or is the opponent too strong?

Leonard couldn't sit still for a long time, and this time in the finals, he was even more excited than last time.

A lot of times the burden of the team weighs on his shoulders and he enjoys it.

It's just that the loss makes him very uncomfortable, and the fouls on his body are the same, he is not afraid of fouls, but he is worried that he can't stand on the court at the moment of deciding or losing.

But just by standing on the court, he won't cringe in any way.

Defense requires skill, and he also taught Zhang Xiaotian at the beginning, but in these games, his defensive skills have been problematic several times.

It shouldn't have been, but the opponent reacted faster than he expected.

Against such an opponent, he needs to be stronger both offensively and defensively.

Leonard grabbed a rebound when he came up, and he also played the role of a transit station in the team's offense, and also came to a breakaway point, but his teammates missed it.

It's still a good feeling on the pitch and he's able to help the team win.

Just when Leonard was about to show his skills, Zhang Xiaotian grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack directly, Leonard quickly returned to defense, and followed Zhang Xiaotian's footsteps, using his long arm to prevent him from making a layup.

Zhang Xiaotian was not reluctant, but put the ball behind him, and James started directly after receiving the ball.

Leonard just subconsciously wants to stop it, as a professional player, many times the body will move first before the head has made a decision.

There is nothing wrong with his awareness of assisting in defense, but James who rushed up was too domineering.

Leonard was knocked straight away in the air, and what was even more frustrating was that the referee's whistle blew again, and he fouled.

With another six fouls off the court, he didn't play a few minutes in the fourth quarter.

There was a hint of helplessness in Popovich's serious expression, damn it, they should have a backup striker.

The game wasn't over yet, even if it would be more difficult, he consoled himself.

However, the team's morale still took a hit, and the Heat took the opportunity to overtake.

The Spurs didn't give in, and Parker used his best mid-range shot to give the Spurs the lead again.

However, Bosh hit again, and the Spurs were not able to maintain their lead even with one more round.

Duncan tried to hit the basket hard, but after squeezing Bosh, the power was a little less, the ball could not be put in the basket, maybe he was able to dunk last year, but now he has a weak heart.

Things are getting worse and worse for the Spurs, not because the Heat are pulling away from the score, but because they're getting tired and their legs feel like they're filled with lead.

It was overtaken in the last quarter again, and the season was over if I lost, and the pressure was like a mountain.

When there were only 2 minutes and 44 seconds left in the game, after Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-pointer, the players on the Spurs court were a little desperate and relieved at the same time.

There are a few veterans of them who have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and they shouldn't have been like this.

But in a few games with the Heat, it was too tiring.

Popovich chose to take a timeout, and he shouted at his disciples, not because he was really angry, but because he wanted to keep the players on the court motivated, even if they would lose the game, they could not bow their heads.

They are Spurs, composed and resilient court warriors.

After playing again, Duncan continued to play hard, this time Bo was fouled, but unfortunately only one of the two free throws was made.

Then they managed to defend for a round and hope seemed to be in sight, but on offense they hit the iron from beyond the three-point line.

The Heat seized the opportunity, James broke through and scored, and the score gap became 6 points.

The fighting spirit that had just been ignited was once again extinguished, and Popovich adjusted his lineup and put on a back four, hoping that beyond the three-point line could bring a miracle.

As long as this one is won, the mentality of the players who were beaten will be restored, and everything will be possible after that.

Three points, missed...... Three points, or miss......

With less than a minute to go, they finally hit a three-pointer.

They only need to defend one and then score another three points, but things are not so simple, 10 seconds later, Zhang Xiaotian broke through to make it 2+1.

Duncan's awareness of assisting in defense is no problem at all, but his reaction is a little slower, and the hero is twilight.

After Zhang Xiaotian hit both free throws, the time was less than 24 seconds, and the Spurs could only use foul tactics.

James hit one of two free throws, but then the Spurs missed a three-pointer, and the game was decided.

At 103:96, Game 5 of the Finals, the Heat won their fourth win.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Heat players immediately hugged each other, whether it was the main team, the substitute, or the coaching staff.

It's not the first time they've won the title, but who cares, that's when the players are at their happiest.
