Chapter 193: The Fruit of Victory

Li Yang's two consecutive attacks on the inside made it very difficult for the Heat's defense, originally they only needed to take care of Duncan and Parker's basket offense, Li Yang's two consecutive points made them have to divide their minds to guard against Li Yang's impact.

But it's clear that the Heat don't have that much energy to take care of a few offensive points, and when they want to make sure they do that, it means that their defense will be porous, and what the Spurs are best at is finding holes.

Parker broke through and rushed inside and was blocked by the Heat's defense, and the ball passed to Duncan in the low post.

But then, the ball was back in Parker's hands, and Duncan also mentioned high post to block and pick-and-roll.

Just when the Heat's players were attracted to the defensive attention by the two, Li Yang suddenly cut to the basket at this time and received a pass from Parker.

Hardly any hesitation, the Heat quickly shrunk the defense, and then they found that Li Yang passed the ball at this time, and Danny Green on the outside.

"Whew!" hit a three-point shot.

Danny Green was on fire from outside the three-point line today, and Green, who had an open three-point opportunity, didn't miss it and hit another three-pointer. This three-pointer also further widened the gap between the two sides to 7 points.

The Heat attacked, and it was James who held the ball, but at this time he was holding the ball in the low post.

James has a strong body, but to be honest, his back play skills are not too good, under normal circumstances, he can use his impact to complete the attack head-on, so he does not often play back, many times if it is not too close to the basket, you can have the opportunity to turn around and put the basket directly, he holds the ball and plays back more to organize the offense.

For example, at this time, because there was still some distance from the three-second zone, although James had his back against Li Yang, he had no intention of attacking by himself.

Li Yang, who was stuck behind James, studied James's habits before the game, and James did not squeeze at this time, his head slightly turned to the left side, obviously to see if there were any teammates who cut in from the line.

Seeing this, Li Yang's body center of gravity shifted slightly to the left, and he guessed that it was very likely that a Heat player would cut in from the middle. Of course, the arm around James' waist didn't move at all, and he didn't want James to be wary.

James really didn't notice that Li Yang behind him was ready to cut off his pass at this time, turned his head sideways, looked at the middle with his peripheral vision, and after finding a teammate's figure cutting into the basket, he immediately threw the ball backwards, trying to send the ball to his teammate's hands with a ground pass.

"It's now!"

After seeing the movement in James's hand, Li Yang immediately realized that James was going to pass the ball, and without any hesitation, Li Yang rushed out directly from behind James!

The basketball was thrown out by James, and before it could fall to the floor, Li Yang's big hand was already in it, and then, Li Yang directly picked up the basketball that fell to the floor and made a steal!

After feeling the arm on his waist disappear, James realized that something was wrong, quickly turned around, and he saw that Li Yang had picked up the ball in his hand.

"Damn, how did this guy know I was going to pass?"

Thinking in his heart, James was going to stick directly to Li Yang, trying to stop the Spurs from launching a fast attack.

However, James's movements were still a step slower, and after getting the ball, he pushed forward, and Li Yang had already sent the ball to Parker's hands.

The Spurs finally launched a fast attack, and while the Heat's defense was not fully in place, Parker rushed to the front court with the ball and made a layup.

At 70:59, with Parker's shot, the difference between the two teams came directly to 11 points.

The situation on the court disrupted the Heat's deployment, and head coach Spoelstra had to call a timeout to stabilize the situation on the court.

The two teams that returned to the court made personnel changes, with Duncan, Bonner and Parker on the Heat side coming off the court and replacing them with Ginobili, Dior and Split, while on the other side of the Heat Wade went off the court and replaced Ray Allen.

Chalmers took the serve, and the ball was quickly handed back into James' hands, and Li Yang once again defended James head-on.

After a few matchups, James also knew that Li Yang's defense was not easy to deal with, so he did not directly challenge Li Yang's defense, James signaled Bosh to step forward to block and dismantle, and then began to break through with the help of blocking and dismantling.

Li Yang still followed the previous defensive strategy, shrunk to the rear defense early, and when James rushed in, he quickly went up to the defense.

But obviously, James didn't want to let Li Yang stop him so easily, the two slammed into each other, and then James used his advantage in strength to press Li Yang to break through the basket.

Behind Li Yang's side, Split helped defend for the first time, and the ball in James's hand quickly shifted and passed back to Bosh outside the three-point line.

The ball was handed to Bosh and Split immediately rushed to the outside to get back into the defence.

"Coax!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Bosh shook Split away with a feint of shooting, followed by a dribble that pressed Split to his side and rushed to the three-point line to the basket.

Li Yang followed James back to the basket, his eyes on James while staring at Bosh.

Li Yang did not step forward to help stop Bosh at the first time, because as long as he moved his steps to block, Bosh could throw the ball up, allowing James to easily complete the air relay.

However, Li Yang couldn't just watch and let Bosh suppress Split to complete the layup.

Li Yang is waiting, waiting for James to take the initiative to withdraw from the basket and open up space for Bosh to break through.

In fact, it was said that he was waiting, that is, in the blink of an eye, seeing Bosh rush past the free throw line, James immediately pulled outside the line, to take Li Yang out of the three-second zone, creating offensive space for Bosh.

It was at this moment that Li Yang was waiting, when James moved his steps outward, Li Yang quickly moved his steps in the opposite direction and flashed to the middle lane to assist in defense.

At this point, it was too late for James to get back to the basket because Bosh had already rushed into the three-second zone, and the space was too small for him to pass the ball.

And Bosh saw that Li Yang's position was not directly in front of him, so he didn't dodge or dodge, and rushed over directly.

Bosh decided that Li Yang did not dare to move his steps at this time, because as long as he moved one more step, the two collided head-on, and Li Yang was a defensive foul.

It is true that Li Yang has no time to block Bosh at this time, but the fact that his feet cannot move does not mean that his hands cannot move.

Seeing that Bosh was about to rush past Li Yang, at this time, Li Yang suddenly reached out his arm and cut down towards the basketball that Bosh had just picked up and was about to hold high!

"Smack!"

Li Yang's lightning-fast shot hit the basketball accurately, Bosh continued to rush forward and prepare to jump, and the basketball in his hand fell directly to the floor!

"Steal, no foul, Li Yang steals the Heat again!"

Yu Jia, the commentator, was shouting, and the Heat fans on the sidelines were in an uproar.

In the first round after the timeout, the Heat's offense played together, and it looked like it was about to succeed, but now it turned out to be ...... Snatched again?

The footage on the field quickly told them that this was not an illusion, because the ball had already fallen into Li Yang's hands at this time.

After completing the steal, James, the opposing player, is not around, what Li Yang has to do is very simple, counterattack!

With the ball, Li Yang rushed to the other half.

On the sidelines, Popovich stood up and watched the counterattack on the court with anticipation, only this one goal was needed to score, and the point difference would come to more than 13 points, which means that the Heat's previous timeout was completely invalid, and the Spurs' double-digit lead would be completely consolidated!

Li Yang rushed forward with the ball, and after coming to the three-point line, he found James standing in front of him, this time, Li Yang did not try to break through James's defense directly, but passed the ball to Ginobili's hands.

The Spurs have played too many of these combinations, and he knows exactly how to deal with this offense.

Passing the ball out, Li Yang shook slightly in front of James, making a feint to run to the right, and the next moment, Li Yang rushed into the three-point line from the left.

As Li Yang expected, the ball in Ginobili's hand also passed back at this time.

After receiving the ball, he dribbled and took a step forward, Li Yang stuck James behind him, and then picked up the ball and rushed into the three-second zone.

After picking up the ball, he took a step forward and glanced at Battier who was in front of him, Li Yang took a second step to the left front and flashed to Battier's side.

Jumping, grabbing the ball with his left hand and picking it lightly, Li Yang made a layup!

At this time, although James, who is good at chasing hats, followed behind, he was first pressed behind by Li Yang, and then there was the interference of Battier's position, James was completely unable to block, and could only watch Li Yang go to the basket.

The ball hits the rebound, bounces into the basket, and hits!

"Good shot, Li Yang counterattacked and made a layup after a steal, Li Yang completed a steal for two consecutive rounds and helped the team fight back, and the Spurs' lead stretched to 13 points!"

In the middle of the field, Li Yang also high-fived Ginobili when he retreated, and on the sidelines, although Popovich did not have any expression on his face, he was very satisfied.

The double-digit advantage has really been consolidated, and as long as the Spurs can stabilize in the middle of the court at the end of the third quarter, and let the double-digit advantage enter the fourth quarter, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Spurs!

As the third quarter ended, the score was fixed at 73-63, and as Popovich had hoped, the Spurs maintained a double-digit lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Popovich is undoubtedly very satisfied with this situation, and with the Heat's offensive state today, as long as the Spurs don't make big mistakes in the fourth quarter, they are very likely to pick up the fruits of victory and get off to a good start to the Finals! )
