Chapter 479: Thomas Jr. and Cole are on the bar
During the timeout, Spo did not yell or criticize the players, but patiently told the Big Three not to be too nervous.
He is well aware of the mental activity of the Big Three, and this is their second year as a team of three and there is a lot of pressure.
Countless fans have high expectations for them, and even when they formed a team, three consecutive championships could not satisfy the fantasies of fans.
However, last season's Big Three lost to the young Splash Brothers in the finals, which shocked fans.
Although they didn't win the championship, fans are still very confident in the Big Three, after all, the team was formed in the first year, and the cooperation was not so tacit.
The most important thing is that the core of the team is ambiguous, and James and Wade blame each other at critical moments, so that fans can't understand it.
Therefore, the media and fans believe that the failure of the team in the first year is just a one-year tuition, and as long as the Big Three have experience and a stable mentality, they will definitely be able to win the championship.
"You have to remember that you are the strongest combination in the Alliance, and no one can defeat you, not even the Splash Brothers!"
With Spo's encouragement, the confidence of the Heat players was boosted again.
The timeout ended, and the players from both sides returned to the field.
The Warriors' home fans have waited too long for this day, they are cheering for the Warriors all the time, and the Heat players feel like their brains are buzzing.
The game continues, and the Heat attack.
James advanced to the front court with the ball, reached out and called a block, and Bosh came over to block Zhou Yang.
Then James burst into the vicinity of the penalty area, faced Chandler, turned and passed, hit the basket, and scored two points!
This is James' specialty, and his hand work under the basket is indeed too good, and it is getting more and more stable.
James' combination of strength and skill is historic.
At 8:4, the Heat still trailed by four points.
Warriors offense.
Curry advanced to the front court again, and when he saw Zhou Yang reach for the ball, he immediately passed it.
Because James played one just now, Zhou Yang must return one to maintain the momentum of the warriors!
James was so focused that he had to defend the ball.
Scold!
Zhou Yang broke through to the left, but the speed was not fast, allowing James to defend against him.
Just as he burst into the vicinity of the left sideline, Zhou Yang suddenly turned around and made the appearance of turning around.
James was prepared, and immediately moved quickly to block Zhou Yang's way.
However, Zhou Yang's turn had just turned halfway, whoosh! It turned back again.
This feint was too sudden, or too realistic, for James to really not react.
By the time he moved his center of gravity and pounced again, Zhou Yang had already risen into the air.
Zhou Yang jumped up, still leaning back, James couldn't cover it at all, he could only watch Zhou Yang make a move.
Swish!
Two points in hand.
After the rise of small ball, there are not many people who play like this, but Zhou Yang still retains the move of turning over and jumping, which seems to be very useful at present.
After the goal, Zhou Yang waved his fist and roared!
At 10:4, the Warriors continued to lead. ap.
In the next few rounds, both sides took out their strongest offensive methods, and they were very efficient, not like the finals, but like an all-star game.
Actually, this is normal, although this is the finals, but the series is long-term, both sides have to do testing, and the defensive intensity is not too great.
The first quarter played more than 7 minutes, and the score came to 16:12, with the Warriors leading.
Nelson Sr. began to make substitutions.
Curry went down to rest and replaced Thomas Jr., Barbossa was rested, and Tony Allen came on.
The Heat also made a substitution, with Wade going down to rest and bringing on Kerr.
Kerr played well in this regular season and was not inferior in the playoffs, which brought surprises to Heat fans.
So
He was highly regarded by Spo as Wade's first replacement.
As soon as Kerr came up, he scored two points by breaking through and hitting the basket and throwing a shot.
But in terms of speed, Kerr and Peak Wade are about the same.
However, Thomas Jr. of the Warriors is not easy to mess with and is very competitive.
In the next round, the Warriors attacked, Thomas Jr. borrowed his teammates to cover, and also hit near the restricted area, hit the board high, and scored two points!
The substitutions on both sides turned out to be on the bar.
The competition was very exciting.
Warriors fans are very fond of Thomas Jr., which Thomas Jr. played game by game.
Before Thomas Jr. came to the Warriors, fans were very disappointed.
Because he was the last pick in the second round of the draft, many Warriors fans wanted to trade him away because he was too short.
Although after the Splash Brothers became popular, the short players became heavier and heavier, and the three points were thrown more and more, but fans thought that this little Thomas was a little too short......
Therefore, fans have left messages on the official website, asking to trade him away.
And in the first half of the regular season, Thomas Jr. did play averagely, and was often named and bullied by the other party.
However, with the efforts of Thomas Jr., his progress is very obvious, and his ability to integrate the ball is very strong and faster.
Especially in the playoffs, Thomas Jr. did not become a weakness of the Warriors, but became a dagger on the bench!
In the next few rounds, Kerr and Thomas Jr. faced off, and James and Zhou Yang were also adults and gave the ball to them.
Both of these rookies played well and helped the team score in a row.
At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 37:34, and the Warriors led by 3 points.
Zhou Yang didn't score much in the first quarter, scoring only 6 points, but he had 4 assists.
James was similar, with seven points and four assists.
Old fans can see that these two leading stars have reservations, they don't use their all, and they are trying their best to connect the whole team.
In the second quarter of the game, Curry came on the court and led the bench to fight.
On the Heat's side, Wade also appeared.
The Heat have improved their bench lineup this season, not to mention Kerr, Mike Miller, Battier, James Jones, and Juwan Howard, all of whom are strong.
After Curry came on the court, he used his ultra-long three-pointer to widen the space.
Just as the Heat were expanding their defense, Butler and Livingston began to score in the restricted area again.
The Warriors have a clear idea of playing, and their points are rising quickly.
However, the Heat's bench lineup is also very strong,-for-tat.
Mike Miller also hit two three-pointers to keep the score tight.
The second quarter played more than five minutes, and the score came to 49:47, with the Warriors leading by two points.
It seems that it will not be easy for the Warriors to pull away from the score, and the Heat are very tenacious, using their own good tactics to fight against it.
Especially Wade, he knows that this is the era of small ball, so after Wade tears the defense with a sharp break, he reduces the finish, and instead passes to open teammates.
In this way, the Heat's scoring efficiency is also very high, and they shoot a lot of three-point shots.
