Damon Jones had nine points, one rebound and four assists.

Dulin had 2 points and 1 assist.

Rasol Butler had 2 points and 2 rebounds.

……

On the Spurs' side.

Duncan rebounded, 2 assists and 4 blocks.

Ginobili had 27 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Horry had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

It was also only three players in double figures for the Spurs.

Parker played badly in the first game, shooting 2-of-9 from the field and relying on free throws to get 6 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

……

A few days later, G2 went into play.

The Heat kept the same starters:

O'Neal, Haslem, Lei Li, Jones Sr., Wade.

Spurs Ze made a change:

Ginobili, Barry, Bowen, Muhammad, Duncan.

Parker was dropped off the bench.

Doing so will not only enhance the offensive dynamism of the substitutes, but also fill the defensive holes in the starters.

Looks pretty good.

But whether a lineup is good or not, you can't just look at the strength on paper, the effect of the play is the most important.

After the game started, it was obvious to the fans that the Spurs were not impactful enough.

Barry, Bowen and Mohammed have almost no ability to attack on their own.

The Spurs can only rely on Ginobili and Duncan to play.

At the beginning, the Spurs were able to maintain the point difference.

But Pat Riley made a change three minutes into the first quarter: he stepped up his defense, cut off Ginobili, Duncan and the rest of his teammates, and let the two keep out.

At this moment, the Spurs' offense became obviously not smooth, and the Heat began to slowly open up the difference.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat had a six-point lead.

In the rotation, Parker showed his impact and scored frequently.

However, the bench lineup on the Heat's side is completely good, and it didn't give the Spurs any advantage.

The score difference has been maintained at around 5 points.

Subsequently, the two teams successively changed back to the main players.

The stalemate lasted until the end of the third quarter, with the Heat leading by just seven points.

In the third quarter, Duncan had scored 35 points and Ginobili 23, for a total of 58 points.

The rest of the circus team scored only 12 points in total.

And it is worth mentioning that Duncan and Ginobili did not have much time to rest in the first three quarters, and the physical exertion was huge.

Back in the fourth quarter, the Heat suddenly increased their defensive intensity, and Ginobili made consecutive turnovers.

The Heat seized the opportunity and instantly extended the margin to double digits.

At the critical moment, it has to rely on Duncan.

Duncan scored back-to-back points to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

However, the Spurs' biggest problem is that they can't stop the Heat from scoring, and the margin has never been narrowed.

After the Heat fouled the Heat, Popovich began to use shark-slashing tactics.

To the Spurs' despair, though, O'Neal was on target today.

The first two fouls, four free throws, O'Neal made three of four free throws.

Popovich had no choice but to give up cutting sharks.

Ultimately.

The Heat beat the Spurs for the second game in a row to take a 2-0 lead.

In the post-game press conference, O'Neal was proud: "I said a long time ago that when it comes to the critical moment, my free throws are accurate. ”

O'Neal went on to boast: "I was particularly accurate in my free throws when I was at home, even more accurate than Kerr. But it's not the same as at home, and it's hard to be the same. I made the free throws at the critical moments, and that's enough! ”

"As for why I don't practice free throws, because my body is more perfect than Jordan and Chamberlain, and if I am accurate in free throws, how will other people play? And my own tail is about to reach the sky. So in order to be an ordinary person, I don't practice free throws. ”

Li Lei rolled his eyes.

Pretending to be forced, being struck by lightning!

But after getting along with O'Neill for more than half a year, he also knows the character of this fat man.

is stubborn to death, and no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.

And this guy is very good at making excuses, and he is narcissistic so that he doesn't want to.

Li Lei didn't force it, he said into the microphone: "My free throw shooting rate with Shaq is average, and it is also 70%, which is not bad." ”

……

But soon, O'Neill paid the price for his pretending to be "forced".

G3, playing in San Antonio, Popovich made another adjustment.

Rasu Nesterovic stepped into the starting five, with Mohammed on the bench.

At this time, O'Neill hadn't realized anything.

Jump Ball!

Lasu didn't jump directly.

O'Neill dialed the ball back to his own half, and it was a little strange, why didn't this Rasu jump?

Seeing that the opponent is himself, he directly admits defeat?

At this moment, Rasu approached O'Neill and hugged him directly.

O'Neill: "......"

Referee: "......"

Everyone: "......"

What does this mean?

There was not a single foul in the whole game, and even if it did, it couldn't send O'Neal to the free throw line.

Does this foul make sense?

Li Lei looked at Popovich on the sidelines, very puzzled.

But Popovich's face was expressionless, and he didn't show any thoughts.

Li Lei thought to himself: "This old guy doesn't want to directly cut O'Neal five times in a row, directly commit a full crime, and send him to the free throw line, right?" ”

That's crazy, isn't it?

Subsequently, it was the Heat's possession.

Wade advances with the ball.

Everyone watched Rasu's movements, and as a result, the guy ran straight back to the Spurs' half, with no intention of continuing to cut the sharks.

Everyone: "??? ”

O'Neill was already the best prepared to continue to be cut, but instead of being cut, he was a little uncomfortable.

"No, no, no! I didn't want to be cut, wasn't that a shit? ”

O'Neill quickly pushed the thought out of his mind and ran to the frontcourt.

The Heat attack.

Wade broke through to attract the help defense and gave the ball to Jones Sr.

Jones Sr. misses a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

However, O'Neal grabbed the rebound in the front court and made a dunk.

Bang!

2:0。

Rasu was injured in the final stages of the regular season and was in very poor form, averaging less than 10 minutes per game since the playoffs.

In the ball just now, he didn't jam O'Neal at all, allowing O'Neal to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.

"Roar!"

O'Neill clenched his fists and roared, a little excited.

He has already sensed Lasu's "weakness", and letting such a Lasu defend him is simply giving him points.

Spurs attack.

Duncan also scored 2 points on a shot from the board.

2:2。

The Heat attack.

An excited O'Neill asked for the ball directly in the low post.

He is confident that he can score at least 30 points, or even 40 points tonight.

But just when O'Neal got the ball, he was in high spirits and ready to attack......

Rasu hugged him again.

Didi!

The referee's whistle sounded.

O'Neill: "......"

He's really a little baffled.

Didn't you just cut it? How he was just excited, and started again.

The Heat serve a sideline ball.

Li Lei runs without the ball, and throws the ball in the middle distance.

swish

4:2。

Spurs attack.

Ginobili made a wonderful pass to the basket, and Duncan directly recovered it and scored another 2 points.

4:4 draw!

The Heat attack.

Wade broke through and drew a foul on Ginobili and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.

5:4。

Spurs attack.

Bowen missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Heat took the opportunity to play a wave of defensive counterattacks.

7:4。

Then, the Spurs' offense was once again fruitless.

Li Lei turned around with a three-point shot.

Swish!

10:4。

The Heat are about to get on the rise.

They played a bucket-like defense in the next round, and the Spurs attacked again to no avail.

The Heat are completely on the rise.

Wade was about to play a fast break when he got the ball, and suddenly there was a sound of "Didi" in his ears.

Wade looked back, and Rasu hugged O'Neill again.

O'Neill: "......"

The Spurs committed four fouls.

Everyone still hasn't touched Popovich's intentions, this shark slashing is irregular!

The ball still belongs to the Heat.

O'Neal attacked in the low post and wanted to get revenge on Rasu, but his shot was wide under Duncan's help defense.

Duncan grabbed the rebound.

The Spurs took the opportunity to play a wave of defensive counter-attacks.

10:6。

The Heat attack.

O'Neal was well prepared this time to avoid the help defense and then attack.

He turned around in quick succession to trick Filasu, and then put the basket away.

Bang dang!

This usually nine out of ten stable baskets actually made a mistake!

The Spurs were on another defensive counter-attack.

10:8。

The Heat attack.

Li Lei thought as he moved forward, and he felt that he was about to touch Popovich's mind.

Wade broke through the draw pack and distributed the ball to Haslem.

Haslem makes a shot.

12:8。

Coming back, Duncan's low-post single drew the Heat's defense to shrink, and then a flick to the perimeter.

Ginobili catches the ball, a fake shot to trick Jones Sr. who flies over, and then hits a three-point shot.

With only one point left in the gap, San Antonio fans spontaneously cheered for the home team.

The Spurs are on the rise.

The Heat fight back.

Li Lei popped up with the help of Haslem's cover, received Jones Sr.'s pass and hit a three-pointer, and gave a counterattack.

This goal was like a blow to the head, directly extinguishing the passion of the fans of the Holy City.

However, in the following round, the Heat successfully defended the Spurs to death and played another wave of defensive counterattacks.

Once again, the Heat pulled away from the gap.

The Spurs' subsequent offense was still no.

The Heat serve the baseline ball.

Wade is just over halftime, Didi!

The Spurs fouled again.

Rasu was fouled for the fourth time, and the Spurs had five fouls as a team.

O'Neal is going to make a free throw!

Taking advantage of O'Neal's free throws, the Spurs made adjustments:

Rasu, who had committed four fouls, came off the field and Tony Masenberg came on.

Li Lei frowned: Masenberg is the Spurs' last-ranked rotation player, the kind that hardly plays.

So far in the playoffs, he has played five times, averaging 3.1 minutes per game.

What can a player like this do?

Ordinary people can blurt out: cut sharks!

Be a tool man!

O'Neal was about to make a free throw, and when he saw the movement on the Spurs' side, he made a three-and-three free throw.

It's no wonder that the Spurs are going to continue to cut him, and he is in a good mood.

On the second free throw, O'Neal barely hit the basket, but it bounced away.

2 free throws 0 hit.

The score is still the same.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan was worthy of the league's second-man status and continued to help the team survive.

The Heat attack.

Everyone looked at Masenberg.

O'Neal was also ready to be cut and continue to go to the free throw line.

However, instead of cutting him, Masenberg returned to defend normally.

O'Neill was a little confused, but still chose to run forward.

Not only is he confused, everyone on the Heat team is confused.

I don't know what Popovich's idea is.

It's inexplicable to send a tool man who cuts sharks to appear, but he doesn't cut sharks.

Pat Riley on the sidelines was also worried, he stared straight at Popovich, but he couldn't figure out what Popovich was thinking.

At this moment, Popovich, who was holding his hands on his chest, also glanced at Riley and smiled back.

Riley was even more upset.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal made a single basket, easily pushed away Massenberg, and tricked Duncan with a feint, and then easily hit the board and shot.

Bang!

Bang dang!

However, the goal was not scored again.

Duncan took advantage of the situation to grab the rebound and went straight to Ginobili.

Ginobili went on a fast break, a voluptuous serpentine breakaway, and put the basketball in the hoop.

Swish!

The Heat attack.

O'Neal attracted the assistant defense in the low post and distributed the ball, but the ball was a little too strong, and his teammates didn't catch it, and the ball flew directly out of the sideline.

Throw-in!

O'Neill's mistake.

The Spurs got the ball, and there was another wave of offense, and Bowen hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Spurs, overtaken!

The AT&T Center Arena is boiling.

It was the first time since the Finals that the Spurs were ahead.

Spurs, there's hope tonight!

Didi!

But Riley decisively called a timeout.

"Stone, do you understand?"

Riley didn't care about the others, and asked Li Lei directly.

Li Lei nodded, glanced at Popovich opposite, and then said, "That old man is disturbing our psychology." As long as we were on the move, he would slash Shaq from time to time, so that Shaq always wanted to be cut and couldn't devote himself to the game. And Shaq is affected, and we are naturally affected. ”

In these rounds, O'Neal always paid too much attention to Macburg's actions, which led to his own lack of concentration in playing, not scoring the goals he should have scored, and making mistakes in simple operations.

The rest of the Heat team has slipped on both the defensive and offensive ends because of their inconsistent play.

When O'Neill heard this, he became angry: "This old fox! ”

He glared at Popovich across the street.

Popovich seemed to sense O'Neal's gaze, looked over, and smiled at O'Neal.

Li Lei pulled O'Neill over: "Shaq, don't be angry with him." Gas, you're losing! ”

O'Neill then held back his anger and didn't look at Popovich.

Pat Riley nodded, he and Li Lei basically had the same idea.

"Then, Shaq, come down and rest for a while."

Riley said.

When O'Neill heard this, he wanted to protest, but he lowered his head again when he thought of his performance just now.

O'Neal, Mourning is coming off the bench.

The crowd was a little worried.

Although Mourning is desperate, his ability is far inferior to O'Neill's.

The Heat are now behind and replacing O'Neal, will it collapse.

Li Lei saw everyone's worries and comforted: "This may be a good opportunity." ”

Everyone looked at Li Lei, waiting for his statement.

Riley and Spoelstra laughed, the locker room boss did a good job.
