Li Yangjia hit a free throw to make it two plus one, which also announced another success of the Spurs' offensive interior tactics. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Duncan assisted two teammates in a row, the next offense was to suddenly choose to force the basket and cause a foul on Chris Bosh.

A minute later, the Spurs played again, but this time it was not Duncan who assisted Li Yang, but Dio, who had just come on the court, after receiving a pass from the Spurs, entered a very beautiful back pass in the three-second zone and sent the ball to Li Yang, who followed up.

After eight minutes of the first quarter, Li Yang went to rest, and his score had risen to 12 by this time, but he was unable to get an assist in the entire quarter.

This is not too surprising, today the Heat is very close to Li Yang's passing, in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs three-point shot 0 of 4, Li Yang passed the ball outside the three-point line several times was prevented by the Heat.

In the tactics of attacking the basket, Popovich arranged Duncan's high-post organization strategy, so Li Yang did not send any assists directly, which led to Li Yang's assists in the first quarter of the game being 0.

Although the number of assists is 0, Li Yang's performance of 12 points in a single quarter still makes fans, especially Chinese fans, very excited, and although Li Yang did not assist in this quarter, the Spurs did not fall too far into the disadvantage in the court, especially during the period when Li Yang was on the court, the Spurs attacked the basket with great efficiency.

At 31:29, in the first quarter of the game, the Heat played a combination of inside and outside, the Spurs mainly attacked the inside, and the scores of both teams were quite high, which also made the fans watching the game addicted.

It's just that Popovich is still a little worried at the moment, the Spurs' outside line was completely open in the first quarter of the game, which made the Spurs' tactics very monotonous.

Popovich knows very well that after the start of the second quarter of the game, the Heat will definitely not be willing to expose so many flaws on the inside in order to defend the Spurs' outside line as they did in the first quarter of the game, and they will begin to shrink the defensive line, and at this time, if the Spurs' outside line cannot be opened, then they will be completely passive on the offensive end.

Judging from the state shown by the Heat in the first quarter of the game, Popovich is well aware that if his team falls into passivity in this game, it will be very difficult to play.

"Manu, when the game starts, you look for opportunities to get to the basket and pass the ball out, we need to look for more three-point shots from the outside, no matter who it is, there is a chance to make a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line!"

Popovich wanted the team to get back to shooting from the outside as soon as possible, and the sooner the better, so he adjusted the tactics of attacking from the outside again.

As Popovich expected, the Heat did pay more attention to interior protection after the start of the second quarter, and they began to shrink the defense to create defensive pressure on the Spurs' interior offense.

That's what Popovich would like to see, and while the Heat's rotation defense is doing a pretty good job, the Spurs' excellent ability to move the ball has allowed them to start getting some shots from beyond the three-point line.

The Heat shrink the defense, the Spurs increase outside shots, all of this is in Popovich's control, and the only thing that is not in Popovich's control is the feel of the Spurs players.

Maybe it was the Spurs who tired the Spurs in seven games of the Western Conference finals, especially the final game in overtime, or maybe the Heat's defense in the first quarter interfered with the Spurs' shooting feelings, and when they got some better three-point shooting opportunities than the first quarter of the game, they couldn't hit them after the start of the second quarter.

Of course, with the defensive concentration of the Heat's game, the opportunity for the Spurs players is not a complete big vacancy, but such an opportunity is much better than the first quarter of the game, and such a ball also needs to be hit in the Spurs' tactical arrangement.

It's just that the player's feel is obviously not under Popovich's control, so he reluctantly made adjustments again when he played nearly four minutes in the second quarter of the game, and replaced Li Yang and others back on the court.

At this time, the difference between the two teams, which was originally 2 points, has widened to 6 points.

The Heat, who were playing away from home, kept the Spurs at bay after the start of the second quarter of the game, and widened the gap between the two teams, which was something that many people did not expect, and it was enough to excite the Heat fans and players.

The excited Heat players are playing more and more actively, and they feel better and better, while the Spurs on the other side still can't shoot from the outside, and because of the shrinkage of the Heat on the inside, the offense is not as efficient as in the first quarter.

As Popovich feared, when the Spurs' outside line couldn't open, their offense fell into passivity, and they played a tough game.

Li Yang was still able to score, he scored another seven points in the quarter, and he had already scored 19 points in the half, however, his assist count was only one.

If Li Yang's lack of assists in the first quarter was due to the Heat's high-intensity defense blocking Li Yang's pass, then in the second quarter, Li Yang's fewer assists were entirely because his teammates didn't feel good today.

A large part of Li Yang's assists come from his assists to teammates after tearing apart the opponent's defense, even if it is not three points, it is also a mid-to-long-range shot, and now, the Spurs are suddenly inaccurate in the middle and long distance, and the defense of the Heat on the inside is very tight, and it is naturally extremely difficult for Li Yang to send assists.

In fact, it's not just Li Yang's assists that are difficult, the Spurs only have 3 assists in this quarter, which is definitely a very low number for the Spurs, who pay great attention to playing team basketball this season.

And as a result, at halftime, the Spurs trailed the Heat by 9 points.

60:51, after the first half, although the Spurs were still within 10 points, it was enough to make Heat fans excited, and Spurs fans worried.

The most important thing is not that the Spurs are 9 points behind at this time, the Spurs have completed the reversal by more points, but the shooting touch shown by the Spurs players today makes them very worried.

"The Spurs must open on the outside, otherwise the ball can only be played more and more passively, Li Yang's scoring efficiency in the second quarter of the game is not as high as in the first quarter of the game, because the Heat in the second quarter in addition to James single defense, in the interior has more pinch shots and help defense. ”

"Before the Thunder, why Li Yang has been high scoring and high assists in several games, is because the Spurs players shoot accurately from the outside, can contain the opponent's defense to create space for Li Yang to attack the basket, and at the same time after receiving a pass from Li Yang, he can hit three points, but today, the Spurs are inaccurate on the outside, Li Yang has no assists, and the offensive end is likely to become more and more difficult. ”

The players from both sides entered the locker room to prepare for halftime, and Zhang Weiping, who was commentating the game on the sidelines, pointed out the crux of the Spurs in the first half.
