Chapter 180, Listen to Mo De!
Back in the third quarter, the Spurs replaced Nazr with Nesterovic, giving up the fast-break play to a certain extent and further strengthening the defense.
Popovich also considered continuing to play fast-break to chase points, but the rotation did a good job after the Heat led in the first half, and if he continued to play like this, it would be hard to say that he would collapse first in the fourth quarter.
Betting on three points is a good solution, but this path is seen very hard by the Heat.
During the regular season, many teams found that the front was just not as good as the Heat, so they would develop technology to bet on three-point bets, and over time, the Heat were particularly sensitive to defensive three-point training.
Regardless of the irregular three-point shooting like Reggie Miller, it is difficult to find a particularly good shooting opportunity in the Heat with a regular fixed-point three-pointer.
However, there is no endless road, and they can't compare with them in terms of efficiency in positional warfare, but they can also "cut sharks".
Don't say that the routines are all used badly, but Ao Fat's free throw shooting rate in this year's playoffs is there, and he only has a 45% free throw shooting rate in the first three rounds, compared to his 55% shooting rate.
On the Heat's side, Ao Fat, who didn't show much in the first half, slapped his chest in the locker room at halftime.
In the past few years, he has realized that he is getting older, and Ao Pang has always adhered to the strategy of keeping his hands in the regular season and making a name for himself in the playoffs.
But he didn't want a series of injuries in this year's playoffs to stop him from playing, and he dragged it to the finals again and again.
Some time ago, there have been a lot of arguments about Ao Fat is no longer the strongest interior in the NBA.
Today he is going to let the world prove once again who is the world's number one center!
Da Fan, who has never had a sense of existence, also rarely became a secondary master, and the clapper set the tone of the main interior line in the second half.
This is also normal, the more crucial games like this, the more conservative in decision-making.
As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
Translated into the vernacular: steady meat with the wind, bet on the output against the wind.
Mo Wen also agreed with this idea at the beginning, and even planned to return the tactical board to Da Fan, but after seeing the lineup put forward by the Spurs, he knew that something was going to go wrong.
Sure enough, after Ao Fat excitedly ate Nesterovich, who had just come on the court, he entered the daily "basketball training class" and began to practice free throws.
Even before Mo Wen's crossing, the Spurs still have a reserve of 6 full-scale and two-liner players, regardless of whether they are good or not, there must be, so in the matter of cutting sharks, it doesn't matter if there is another one, the only problem is that Ao Fat's free throw shooting rate does not support them to cut.
Ding-dong, ding-dong~
Obviously, Ao Fat maintained a stable level of performance and contributed a performance that greatly damaged the image of the NBA.
Stern, who was watching Ao Fat's free throws in the office, wanted to put himself on a ventilator.
The game is not only broadcast live in the United States, but also quite a lot of international broadcasts.
Spurs and Heat both have a lot of international players, China, France, Slovenia, Argentina...
Stern had been fantasizing about this year's NBA international harvest.
This is a piece of iron, it's clearly a slap in the face of the president!
In the third quarter, O'Neal scored 10 points with only 2 shots in extreme anger... If you ignore the fact that he still has 15 free throws, it can be called quite explosive.
"Dad's explosion, stop making free throws, hurry up and pass the ball to Uncle Mo!"
Sharif couldn't stand it anymore on the sidelines, rolled his hands into a horn, and shouted at his dad on the court.
Ao Pang did not break the defense because of the laughter of the audience at the beginning and the disappointed sigh later, and was broken by his son's voice.
Later, Ao Fat didn't do anything else after he got off the field, and ran to Little Sharif to perform a "Father's Kindness and Filial Piety" to everyone in public.
The Heat, led by Fat O, were chased back by 3 points in the third quarter.
Why did Spurs only chase back 3 points?
Because Spurs also have undercover agents!
Old Deng Tou's free throws today were only a little better than O'Neal's, 3 of 6 free throws, while Parker showed the characteristics of O'Neal on the outside, 3 of 7 free throws, he burst to the back, and Mo Ning, who came on the bench, didn't bother to look for the ball to defend, so he greeted him with an arm.
Willis made 66 percent of his free throws to be chased by fans, and that's when they haven't seen Parker in this series.
In the original time and space, Parker played 7 games in the Finals this year, shooting only 44% from the free-throw line, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
The two teams went into the final quarter with a six-point difference.
Mo Wen and Wade did not go to Ao Fat again, and used Ao Fat as a containment, taking over the team's offense one mile and one outside.
Ginobili, who was struggling to fight in front, wanted to stand up as a savior, and Popovich also boldly put on Robert Horry, wanting to play Horry's aura of "Mr. Key".
Ginobili showed his near-superstar strength by relying on his not bizarre but crisp and decisive breakthroughs and consistent shooting, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.
Horry also hit two three-pointers and added an open cut to score eight points.
However, in the face of the Heat's outside duo who already have superstar strength, this alone is not enough.
On the field, the two sides "exchanged blood" and fought back and forth, but the damage of the Heat will always be a little higher.
After seven minutes in the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides reached double digits and was never closer.
Under Mo Wen's targeting, Uncle Bao was beaten by Mo Wen and scolded by Popovich on the other, and was warned and fouled by the referee at every turn.
"Ahh I didn't feel any different from usual. ”
Seeing that the game was about to end, Mo Ning also leaned back in his chair relaxed and watched the game with enjoyment.
"Hey, you're embarrassed to say a bastard? I don't feel ashamed to rely on my youth to experience the feeling of the finals. Leitner, chewing gum, sneered.
"Bastard? Why don't you play for a minute, and people who don't contribute at all still have the face to say about me? At least I have a clear conscience when I go back and take the ring, what about you, hehe. Mo Ning scolded with a polite smile.
"So you want to compare yourself to me?" Leitner raised an eyebrow, "It doesn't seem to be comparable, after all, I have two more NCAA championships than you, hahaha!" ”
"Falk squid, you bitch, I sharked you!" Mourning couldn't stand it, gritted his teeth and scratched at Lightner.
Time passed minute by minute, and the Spurs gradually moved towards darkness in suffocation.
At the last minute, the two teams tacitly changed to a full substitute lineup, announcing the official end of the game.
Heat 106: 95 Spurs.
11 points narrowly won.
When the whistle ended, the crowd on the sidelines was a little happier than the players on the field, and many white fans also showed the appearance of celebrities because of their excitement.
In terms of players, Mo Wen played 34 minutes, shooting 9 of 17, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 27 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block;
O'Neal played 33 minutes, shooting 8-of-14 from the field and 9-of-21 from the free-throw line, finishing with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Wade also played well today, playing 36 minutes, shooting 10-of-18, 1-of-3 three-pointers, 6-of-7 free throws, and finishing with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Even more desperate than the Big Three's combined 79 points is that they still maintain a reasonable rotation time.
No other Heat player made a double-double, but everyone had a good performance, scoring the remaining 27 points on 26-shot shooting without much free throwing.
On the Spurs' side, Duncan, who played 42 minutes, scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and people could see his fatigue when he left the court.
It was a mental and physical torture.
Just finished the tie-break with the marathon team Suns, and today's race is close to full, he has contributed everything he has, but the process of failure is so desperate.
Ginobili propped up the Spurs' outside business, shooting 10 of 19, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
But anyone who has watched the game can see the gap between him and Mo Wen.
Parker was the most disappointing member of the GDP mix, scoring just 4-of-14 shooting, 5-of-10 free throws and 1-of-3 three-pointers for just 14 points, four assists and two rebounds.
However, Parker is certainly disappointing, but the most criticized is Uncle Bao.
Popovich gave Uncle Bao 30 minutes of playing time, and not only did he fail to defend the Heat's outside duo, but he also only handed in a 3-pointer on 1-of-4 shooting on the offensive end.
In TNT's commentary room, Barkley patted himself on the belly and said unashamedly, "I can do it too." ”
"Although it was only one game, I think fans who watched the game should be able to see the difference between the two teams, and the Spurs tried to use their familiar fast break in this game, and also tried the team's traditional defense, but it didn't work."
"I don't know if Greg has anything else to prepare, and if there's nothing more to come up with, San Antonio fans can prepare for the Spurs' funeral this season."
"As for the Heat, I don't have much to say, at least in my eyes, they really don't have any shortcomings, and if they do, it's probably O'Neal's free throws, ahem, I mean as long as they play at their normal level, they're the best team in the league right now."
Kenny Smith concluded after the game.
In the post-match interview session, Popovich, who lost the ball, turned on the big grumbling mode.
There were a lot of complaints from all sides of the game, from the unbounded interference of the sideline fans and cheerleaders, to the referees' double-standard tendencies, to the Heat's three-pointer.
"Wait, you mentioned three points, didn't you?" A reporter on the sidelines caught the point.
"Yes, then the damn three-point should be canceled, Tim (Duncan) may have to work hard for a whole quarter against Shaq on the inside, and score three goals desperately to score 6 points, and that stinky boy of the Heat only needs to pretend to be cool on the outside to perform a dribble, and then shoot two three-pointers casually to wipe out Tim's efforts for a whole quarter, which is so unfair!"
"However, the Spurs shot 1 more three-pointers than the Heat today?" The reporter asked, looking puzzled about the copy of the technical statistics table in his hand.
“··· Anyone else wants to ask? ”
It is commendable that although Popovich complained a lot, he did not complain about his own players.
On the other side, Dafan, who is full of spring breeze, is also calmly dealing with the media.
"Coaching with the Heat is probably the easiest job in the world because you only need to use three sentences — 'Hey, Mo!' 'Hey, Shaq! 'Hey, Dwyan! 'A successful coach doesn't need to talk too much, you just need to remind at the right time and the players know what to do. ”
"The Heat's tactics? It could also be done in three sentences, and listen—'Attack around this Dwyan!' ''Defend around Shaq!'' ''Listen to Mode!'' ’”
"I know what you think of me in private, but the reality is that I used to scoff at it, but now it makes perfect sense - luck is part of strength, hahaha!"
"After reading me, you will understand that the coach really doesn't need to be so tired, because no matter how hard we try, it still depends on the execution of the players, and when your players are strong enough, the role of the coach will definitely be weakened. If the game was tough, I'd definitely show you what I'm capable of coaching, but unfortunately, that's too rare for the Heat right now. ”
Da Fan also tried to pretend to be a famous handsome, but he found that few people believed him, so he simply stopped pretending and had a showdown.
Reaching the second round in the first year and winning the championship the second year is a kind of coaching achievement that is bright enough even if there is a lot of luck.
No, no, no one really believes that the champion coach is a parallel commodity with nothing in his stomach, right?
Netizen Comment: Heat low-salary recruitment head coach @O'Neal's grandmother, @海绵宝宝, @伯尼 (Heat mascot), @巴克利, @金刚···
In the major basketball forums on the Internet, the Heat column is jubilant, but the columns of other teams are relatively silent, even the draft posts that have been highly discussed at this time in previous years have lost their popularity this year.
Everyone is talking about when the Heat will disband.
Time seems to have gone back to the summer of the first championship of the Lakers dynasty, no matter how strong the Heat team is now, it's actually okay, what really makes everyone scared and uncomfortable is next year, the Big Three will still be there next year, and the contracts of several important role players are the same, which means that even if the Heat randomly strengthens or even does not strengthen in the summer, they can still maintain their current strong competitiveness next year.
Not to mention Riley's ability to select people for trading has been sealed this year.
···
In the finals of G2, the American Airlines Arena became the hottest attraction in Miami.
The shops around the stadium have been emptied by the influx of fans.
And I don't know how many times the tickets have doubled, it is said that the ordinary tickets in the stands on the second floor have been fried for hundreds of dollars, and the front row positions in the player's family area are counted in W.
And the Heat didn't disappoint fans who bought tickets at a high price.
After G2 started, the Heat always maintained the lead and suppressed.
Popovich came up with something new, he devised several outside tactics and put Duncan and Horry on the court at the same time, trying to pull O'Neal out and make the Spurs' two outside attackers work.
It had some effect, but again, after Horry came on the court, the Spurs' weak interior line also became the focus of the Heat's attack.
Duncan is very versatile, but Horry's spatial No. 4 position does not play a role in protecting the frame at all, and his competition with O'Fat means that the Spurs' interior line is also empty.
Wade played his best first half of the playoffs this year, scoring 24 points in 20 minutes.
After halftime, the Heat still had an eight-point lead.
After entering the second half, Bowen, who had eaten enough of the "all-elbow banquet" when he played against Mo Wen, was sent to defend Wade again, but as soon as he left, the Heat's offensive focus shifted to the physically energetic Mo Wen.
Ginobili has good defensive ability, but his physical fitness is so good, and the defensive offensive efficiency has declined.
The decline in the Spurs' outside efficiency will lead to a further contraction of the Heat lineup, which in turn will affect Duncan's play.
The most cruel thing is that Ginobili wasted his effort, Mo Wen's efficiency is still very high, Ginobili's strength and balance are good, but outside the three-point line, he doesn't have much room to play. And Bowen has previously taken on defensive duties for outside pitchers, so he doesn't have a lot of experience in this area
The Argentine also tried to use his special acting skills to deceive the whistle, but Mo Wen simply did the fake drama here to help him realize his dream of being an actor.
He made two fouls and almost sent himself to the Spurs Valhalla.
After finding out that the Spurs still wanted to cut the sharks and disgusted himself, Ao Fat consciously reduced his desire to shoot and turned his energy to the defensive end.
In the first half, he gave Lao Deng Tou 2 big hats, at first Lao Deng Tou just wanted to help his teammates pull away, and he didn't enter the inner line, and after Ao Fat found that the efficiency of releasing it on the opposite side would not be very high, he directly pushed Lao Deng's head out of the space under the basket.
Ao Fat, who played 35 minutes in the whole game, got 16 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 steal, and 8 of 19 of 19 of the old Deng Toufen, who was quite efficient on the court, only scored 20 points on free throws, and also took 6 turnovers.
Wade scored a game-high 30 points, as well as 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, but today's MVP still gave Mo Wen, who scored 18 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds and 4 steals.
As the 15th player in history to record a triple-double in the Finals, the identity of Mo Wen's Magic and Bird's successor has been brought up again.
As for a player who originally used the magic bird as a template, no one says anything now.
Ao Fat's performance was not bad, but he scored a little less today, only 15 points.
Haslem had a good time against Horry, who played most of the half today, and his 16 points and 10 rebounds were also quite eye-catching.
The Heat 108-99 Spurs won the victory again.
Taking advantage of the fact that Catherine (Schwarzenegger) had not yet come to Miami, Mo Wen secretly rewarded himself with a big sister Ruth, but unfortunately his greatest wish could not be fulfilled.
G3, SBC Arena (now AT&T Arena).
Popovich pulled the hot man aside again, and seeing that he was not in a high mood, he whispered:
"We need your power Bruce, you still have a chance, and we have a chance to play, do you really want to see the guys finish together?"
I'm sorry, but I'm late to sleep because of my body... Yesterday was supposed to be a day off
