The 10-point difference forced the Heat to call a timeout to stabilize the situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Heat did stabilize the situation with this timeout, at least on the defensive end, and they didn't let the Spurs players do whatever they wanted.

Even in the latter period, the Heat narrowed the gap to only 5 points, but the Spurs played another wave of offensive sparks at the end of the second quarter, keeping the difference between the two sides at 10 points into the second half.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Yang played 8 minutes on the court before getting off the court, and in the next few minutes, because the Heat paid attention to his defense, he was not able to score again, but still grabbed 1 rebound and handed out 1 assist.

9 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, this is the data handed over by Li Yang in the first half of the game.

"Hey, Karen, I'm doing a great job!"

When he was substituted with only four minutes left in the second quarter, Li Yang immediately said to Inya.

"Are you ready for your reward?"

"Ahh At this time, Inia replied in a suppressed voice.

Hearing Inya's words, Li Yang's whole body froze, what do you mean, don't admit it?

"Poof!" Although she didn't see Li Yang's expression, Inia obviously saw his thoughts through Li Yang's movements, and immediately chuckled.

At this time, Li Yang also realized that he was tricked by Inya.

"I'll settle accounts with you after the game. Li Yang hatefully dropped this sentence.

After hearing Li Yang's words, Inia smiled brighter and brighter.

At 45:56, the first half ended with the Spurs leading by 11 points.

Unlike the previous two games, which were only five points at half-time, Spurs established a clear advantage in the first half. But, as in both games, the third quarter of the game was key.

In the first two games, both sides played in the third quarter to lay the foundation for the victory that followed.

In the first game, the Spurs took a double-digit advantage after the third quarter, and in the final quarter of the game, the Spurs also took the initiative.

In the last game, the Heat also established a double-digit advantage in the third quarter of the game, and then began to widen the point difference in the fourth quarter, and then sealed the victory in one fell swoop.

It can be expected that the third quarter of this game is also extremely important, and whoever can take the initiative in the third quarter is very likely to be able to win the final victory.

For Spurs, their advantage is playing at home, and they now have an 11-point advantage.

However, Popovich clearly did not consider such an advantage to be an insurance policy.

"In the second half, we have to think that this is a new start, the advantage of 11 points is not big, you only need to shoot three or four threes, and this advantage will be completely lost, so this is a new start, from the first second of the second half of the game, you need to do your best!"

"It's a good job defending the Heat's three star players, but we need to be wary of their role players, especially their three-pointers. ”

"Pay attention to the rebounds, Kewai, Young, when you are on the court, strengthen the fight for rebounds, Thiem, Thiago, you have to retreat as soon as possible. ”

Popovich made a careful plan for the second half of the game, and he knew that the Heat would be more aggressive when the second half started.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started in the third quarter, the Heat launched an onslaught.

In the first two quarters of the game, James shot 1 of 5 and 2 of 4 free throws, and only scored 4 points, but after the start of the third quarter, James scored 4 points in a row as soon as he came on the court.

A layup under the basket and a mid-range jumper, James played very strongly in the face of Leonard's defense.

After the Spurs fought back with an offense, James hit another offense two rounds later, this time hitting a three-pointer.

On the Heat side, led by James, played a wave of offense, but fortunately, the Spurs at the other end were also prepared, and when the score difference was chased by the Heat to only 4 points, the Spurs stabilized the situation.

In the following three minutes or so, the Spurs did not let James score again, nor did they let the Heat continue to narrow the difference.

In the blink of an eye, the third quarter had already played more than 7 minutes, and the Spurs attacked, and Ginobili, who had just replaced Danny Green, used his serpentine break to score under the basket.

At 64:70, Ginobili's attack widened the gap between the two sides to six points.

came to the other end of the Heat to attack, James rushed into the three-second zone with the ball and encountered Leonard and Duncan's sandwich, and gave the ball to Bosh's hands, but the strength and speed of the ball were a little large, and the follow-up Bosh was not able to hold the ball in time and flew out of the bottom line.

The ball was back in the hands of the Spurs, because the Heat had completely retreated at this time, Parker dribbled to the halfcourt and handed the ball to Duncan in the high post, and the Spurs began to play a positional battle.

Ginobili and Leonard both made some runs but couldn't find a chance, and Parker immediately stepped out to the outside to pick up the pass.

handed the ball to Parker, Duncan took advantage of the situation to make a block for Parker, Duncan's blocking and pick-and-roll quality was very high, completely blocking Parker's defenders, and in the face of Bosh's somewhat hesitant change of defense, Parker scored 2 points on a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

64:72, an 8-point difference, the Heat home practice Spoelstra saw it and immediately called a timeout.

The Spurs made two consecutive attacks, which made Spoelstra realize that the Spurs were very likely to get up, so he quickly called a timeout to adjust, but also to interrupt the Spurs' offense.

Taking advantage of the timeout, the Spurs made personnel adjustments, Duncan and Parker went off the court and replaced Li Yang and Neil, so that the lineup of Split, Leonard, Li Yang, Ginobili and Neil was formed.

On the other end, the Heat also replaced Wade off the court and sent a lineup of Bosh, James, Battier, Ray Allen, and Chalmers.

Replacing Li Yang on the court, on the one hand, is naturally because it is time to rotate the lineup, and on the other hand, in Popovich's view, it is very suitable to put Li Yang, who has strong impact, when such a team is about to take off.

Especially when both sides use small lineups and are very likely to disrupt the battle, Li Yang's ability to rush rebounds and his ability to advance quickly are very likely to help the team.

Popovich's judgment was really accurate, after completing an attack on the Heat's side, Li Yang quickly used his excellent impact to play a counterattack, although he didn't score in the end, but his impact tore open the Heat's defense, and Neil hit a shot from the outside.

At 66:75, the difference between the two sides came to 9 points. (To be continued.) )
