The Heat's advance was also very fast, Li Yang had just hit a three-pointer here, the Spurs fans on the scene were still cheering, and James had already rushed to the other half with the ball. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Facing James who was sprinting all over the court, even Leonard had some difficulty stopping it, outside the three-point line, Leonard judged the direction of James' impact, but he was still completely pushed away by James's bullish body.

James did show his determination to win the game from the very beginning of the game, after breaking through Leonard's defense, James went straight to the basket again, and forced a layup in the face of Duncan's defense, although he was not able to complete the score, but caused Duncan's foul.

"Bang!" James didn't hit the first free throw, but the focus was not on James' free throws, but on the Heat's substitutions at this time.

"The Heat made a substitution, they replaced Mario Chalmers with Ray Allen, and the adjustment was unexpected, and the Heat actually made the substitution when the game was less than half a minute into play. ”

The camera swept over Popovich at this time, as if he wanted to capture Popovich's expression after seeing the Heat's substitution, but there was no fluctuation on Popovich's face at this time.

The Spurs players on the court did not have much change in their faces at the moment, in fact, before the game, the Spurs had predicted that Ray Allen would appear in the starting lineup, and in the prediction of the Popovich team, Ray Allen was likely to replace Chalmers and Lewis.

So at this moment, the substitution of the Heat can be said to be a little surprising to the Spurs, but it is definitely not an accident, of course, this is probably not expected by either the two commentators or the Heat's coaching team, in their opinion, the casualness on the faces of Popovich and the Spurs players just suppressed the surprise in their hearts.

James hit the second free throw, and the ball was back in the hands of the Spurs, and when the Spurs launched an offense, they immediately felt the defensive pressure from the Heat.

The Spurs' offense in the previous round did not hit the Heat, after coming to the half, the Heat's defense was very tight, the Spurs guided the ball several times, but they were not able to get a good chance, until nearly 24 seconds, Parker did not shoot a mid-range pull-up jump shot, but it was still very interfered with, and the ball could not be hit.

"The Heat's defense in this round is good, after the start, the Heat are tough enough on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, for the Heat, they really have no way out, but the Spurs' defense is also excellent......

The Spurs' offense didn't work, but they also didn't make the Heat better, and Ray Allen, who had just come on the court, tried to run to get an offensive opportunity, but his every run to catch the ball was stopped by the Spurs.

James, who was in control of the ball, tried to pass the ball several times but could not succeed, seeing that there was little time left to attack, James chose to attack on his own, with the help of Bosh's block and rush to the left, after finding Duncan and Leonard shrink the defense, James shot the ball in the mid-range pull-up jump shot and hit two points.

After the start of the game, the Heat did play very actively, although they let Li Yang hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, but in the following three minutes, Parker, Duncan, Green, Li Yang's shots were all smashed out of the basket under the Heat's defense, and the Spurs' score remained at 3 points when the game played four minutes.

On the other end, the Heat's offensive success rate is much stronger, even in the face of the Spurs' equally excellent defense, their offense is still unusually resolute, and among them, James is the most outstanding.

At 13:3, when the Spurs called a timeout after four minutes of the first quarter, the difference between the two teams was stretched to 10 points, and the Heat scored 13 points in just four minutes.

Of those 13 points, Wade and Bosh contributed four points, and the remaining nine points were all scored by James alone, including a three-pointer.

For James's defensive strategy, the Spurs are resolutely shrinking, and Leonard even shrinks to the free throw line when defending, which makes it difficult for James to break through to the inside, but in the same way, he also gets more shooting opportunities, and most of these opportunities can be seized by James.

"Continue to maintain this defensive strategy, when LeBron gets the ball, let him shoot and don't let go of the break, Manu comes on the court to replace Danny, be sure to entangle Ray Allen, don't give him any chance to shoot......"

On the bench, Popovich called a timeout, although he made personnel adjustments and replaced Green with Ginobili, but he did not criticize the team's performance in the first four minutes, and did not even make too many arrangements for the defense, but only emphasized the defensive strategy before the game, and then directly arranged the offensive tactics.

After a very short 20-second timeout, the two teams returned to the court, and the Spurs' tactics quickly paid off, and after Li Yang and Ginobili had just come on the court to draw the attention of the defense, Parker sent the ball to Leonard and assisted Leonard on a three-point shot.

Back on the other end, Ray Allen finally got a chance to shoot, he received a pass from James in the middle range and shot, but in the face of Ginobili's timely defense, Ray Allen's shot was not able to hit.

It's not just this round, the Spurs have been sticking to the same defensive strategy for the rest of the first quarter, Ray Allen has become the first defensive target, whether Ray Allen runs without the ball or catches and shoots, he is always close to a Spurs defender.

With the Spurs on defense, Ray Allen shot 0-of-4 from the field in the first quarter, including three three-pointers.

The rest of the Heat's players are almost the same, their shots are all heavily guarded, and at this time, James is the one who gets the most shots.

In the case that the Spurs chose to guard other players and directly put his shots on James, James shot 5 of 7 in the first quarter and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and the Heat also led the Spurs by 7 points 29:22 after the first quarter.

The performance of James and the Heat made Mike Brin on the sidelines can't help shouting after the first quarter of the game: "LeBron's performance today is fantastic, he scored 17 points in a single quarter, and helped the Heat gain a 7-point advantage, I think now Greg Popovich needs to think about how to limit LeBron, maybe it's a good way to change the Young defense?"

"Yes, the Spurs made it too easy for LeBron in the first quarter, and LeBron had too many easy shots. Jeff Van Gundy also said at this time, but when he said this, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Van Gundy turned his head to look at the Spurs' bench, and found that Popovich, who was arranging tactics at this time, did not have any signs of dissatisfaction on his face, and this feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs players were so unsuccessful in defending James, so that James scored 17 points directly, Popovich was not angry at all? Something was wrong, something was wrong.
