The Heat's Big Three reunited in the second half of the second quarter, and the team's intensity on both ends of the floor was raised to a new level.

Seeing that Lin Fei and O'Neal were playing well, Wade did not be greedy after coming up, but continuously sent assists to Lin Fei and O'Neal, and he used constant cover and air cutting to involve the defense, so that the Spurs' defense team could take care of one or the other.

In the last 1 minute of the first half, as Lin Fei played 3+1 against Bruce Bowen after blocking and dismantling O'Neal, his personal score tonight also came to 23 points.

At this time, the Heat led the Spurs by 25 points, and achieved comprehensive suppression at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

At the moment of crisis, "Demon Knife" Ginobili hit a difficult three-point shot by blocking and dismantling, which was also his first sports goal against Lin Fei tonight.

Looking back, with the help of Lin Fei's containment on the outside, Wade played blocking and dismantling with O'Neal this time, broke through the basket and staged Wade's fall again, hitting a difficult two-point shot.

"Huh!"

At the end of the first half, the Heat went into halftime with a 24-point advantage.

Heat (61) :(37) Spurs.

The Spurs have always been good at defense, and now it is the Finals, but the Heat scored 61 points in the half, and the overall shooting rate was close to 60%, which was completely unacceptable to Old Man Bobo.

In the away team's dressing room.

Bobo blew his beard angrily and glared, and went crazy at the Spurs players, especially Parker and Ginobili, who were pointed at their noses and criticized by the old man, and they were almost one person to two big-eared melon seeds.

"I'll remind you one last time, don't be cowardly to Dwayne and Lin, in front of you, these two guys are rookies!"

"No matter what, you have to limit Dwayne's breakthrough, and if you can't stop it, give me a foul!"

"We have to show championship-level defensive intensity, so that the Heat players know what a championship team is!"

Although he scolded badly, Bobo knew in his heart that the defensive tactics he and the Spurs coaching staff arranged tonight were relatively successful for the players.

But Wade's concession of the shot, O'Neal's big explosion and Lin Fei's obviously soaring three-point ability with the ball caught the Spurs off guard.

In particular, the shooting rate of the three guys in the first half exceeded 65%, and Lin Fei shot 7 of 8 three-pointers, plus 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 assist.

It completely dismantled the Spurs' tried-and-true defensive deployment of chasing Lin Fei's no-ball three-pointers during the regular season.

Bobo frowned, quickly analyzed the main reasons for the team's defensive missteps in the first half, and suddenly took the tactical board and marker from the assistant coach's side, made a few strokes, and said in a deep voice:

"In the second half, when Lin or Wade held the ball and played inside to block and dismantle, two people directly came up to wrap the ball carrier, and interfered with his shooting rhythm and passing line for the first time!"

"Remember, in the face of blocking and dismantling the ball carrier, you must be quick and decisive, and try to expand the area of defense and blocking!"

"If the ball is given to Shaquille or Udonis, the nearest defender will go up as soon as possible to make up for the delay!"

'We were too far behind in the first half, so we have to fight back in the second half!'

"The finals have just begun, we can lose tonight in G1, but we have to make positive changes in the second half!"

Bobo knew it was risky to trap the ball-carrier, but the Spurs could only rely on this quick rotation to put more pressure on the Heat's offense.

And Bobo also found an obvious feature in Lin Fei, although his dribbling has improved a lot, and even reached the first-class level, but the passing data is still very bad.

In the entire first half, Lin Fei only got an assist through a board pass after breaking through.

Therefore, after Lin Fei held the ball and blocked him, he quickly wrapped him, which may fully expose his weakness in the ball.

Bobo's eyes were gloomy, and finally he reached out and patted Bruce Bowen on the shoulder, as if there was some hint in his words:

"Again, this is the finals, and our defense has to be tough!"

Bruce Bowen clenched his fists, he wasn't happy with his defense in the first half, and it looked like something had to be done in the second half.

The locker room atmosphere on the Heat's side was obviously much livelier, with Stan Van Gundy praising the performance of the Big Three, especially Lin Fei and O'Neal.

Throughout the first half, Lin Fei scored 23 points with 7-of-8 three-pointers plus 2 free throws, and also had 2 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end.

"Big Shark" O'Neal returned to the top, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in the half, and the shooting rate exceeded 70%.

Wade obviously let go of power in the first half, playing only 17 minutes under the arrangement of Van Gundy, scoring 13 points with 7 shots, but he delivered 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and was equally efficient on both offensive and defensive ends.

The Heat Big Three can be said to have played a perfect half game, and Wade, who reached the Finals for the first time, showed a very mature performance, was not greedy or nervous, and played quite reasonably.

"In the second half, the Spurs are likely to put more defensive pressure on Lin and Shaquille, and Dwayne can appropriately strengthen his personal breakthrough offense and create more damage!"

Although in terms of the qualifications and reputation of the head coach, Da Van Gundy cannot be compared with Zhuge Bobo, but at least in the first half of G1 of the finals tonight, Da Van Gundy defeated Bobo in tactical arrangement.

Lin Fei has also improved his physical fitness very significantly, and he played 21 minutes in the first half, which seemed quite relaxed.

Reaching the Finals for the second time in a row in his second season is a great honor for any player in his rookie NBA.

In Lin Fei's view, this year's Miami Heat team is obviously stronger than last year's Timberwolves, and the certainty of winning the championship is also greater.

With a 24-point lead at halftime, the Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena were naturally quite excited, and happily, those fans who bought the Heat winning handicap were already preparing to collect rice in advance to celebrate.

"The Spurs seem to be weaker than they thought, or are our Heat too strong?"

"It's a 24-point lead at halftime, and the game is going to take place, as long as the rhythm and advantage are stabilized in the third quarter, the Spurs won't have much chance tonight!"

"The first two home games must be won, otherwise you will be very passive when you get to the away stadium!"

"Lin was 7 of 8 three-pointers in the half, and all kinds of ball-holding shots completely stunned the Spurs' defense, and it seems that tonight has a chance to break the NBA Finals personal three-point record!"

"Lin's three-point shot is a real god, and in a few seasons, all the NBA's three-point shooting records will probably be covered by Lin!"

The time has come to close to 3 o'clock in the morning, but there are still tens of millions of fans excitedly waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the start of the second half of the game.

"Feige's 7 three-pointers in this half are too good, O'Neal played the finals mode, and Wade is a bit of a Buddha!"

"According to this state, Fei Ge has a good chance of winning FMVP in this year's finals, then it will be really perfect!"

"It's only half a game, I can't see anything at all, I feel that in the second half, the Heat will adjust their tactics and increase Wade's shots!"

"The Big Three are so united, let's not be so stingy, whoever wins FMVP is the same, the point is that the Heat must win this championship, and the game must be exciting!"

"Now this Heat team is completely a three-core lineup, unlike the Spurs, Lakers and Bulls, there is an absolute first core in the championship-winning lineup, and FMVP generally has no big suspense!"

"If it continues like this, Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal's data will not be bad, anyone can get FMVP, and it also depends on who the Spurs' defense is more targeted!"

"Bobo, the old man, is very bad, obviously more aimed at Fei Ge in defense, but he didn't expect Fei Ge's ball-holding three-point and blocking three-point shooting to be so good, and the Spurs were defenseless!"

Although the old fans hope that this Finals can be played excitingly, the Heat can win the championship in the first place, and it doesn't matter who FMVP is given to in the end.

But there are still many young fans and new fans who are still very concerned about Lin Fei's personal honors.

"Phineas's regular season MVP was snatched away by Wade, and he won't win the FMVP after winning the finals? That's a bit too miserable, isn't it? ”

"To be honest, I feel that the Timberwolves won the championship last year, and this FMVP should also be given to Feige, without Feige, how could the Wolf King lead the team to the finals?"

"There is still a big difference between a championship with FMVP and a championship without FMVP, and the blessing of a player's historical status is obviously different!"

"Phineas is the NBA's all-time vote king, with such a high popularity and such a terrifying scoring efficiency, how can you not get either the regular season MVP and the finals MVP, this is absolutely not good!"

Minneapolis.

Many Timberwolves fans also actively chose to watch this year's finals, which is naturally because of Lin Fei's figure in the finals.

Although he only played for one year with the Timberwolves, it can even be said that he only played less than 10 good games in the playoffs.

But Lin Fei will always be a hero for this team and the city for die-hard Timberwolves fans.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon local time, and there were nearly 10,000 fans in the square outside the target center arena, and many fans even wore Lin Fei's No. 22 Timberwolves jersey.

G1 of the Grand Final was playing on a huge screen outside the arena as the second half of the game began.

Seeing Lin Fei running around on the court wearing the No. 22 jersey, with an active defensive attitude, a familiar and handsome face dripping with sweat,

These Timberwolves fans will unconsciously think of this time last year, the figure who turned the tide with three-pointers several times in the Western Conference finals and Finals.

"Letting Lin go was really the biggest mistake of the management, what did McHale think in the first place? It's really a brainstorm, and he is only willing to give Lin an annual salary of 3 million? ”

"The salary structure of the Timberwolves team is too unreasonable, and they pay a high luxury tax, and there is no way to sign Lin with an annual salary of more than 5 million, which is also a helpless thing!"

"Who would have thought that Lin would become so all-powerful now? and last year's guy who could only shoot three points, it's completely up two notches! ”

"Now Lin is already a double-first-team, steal king plus All-Star MVP, fully worthy of the top salary, if you can open the eyes of the sky, even if the Timberwolves management spent 10 million annual salary last year, they will definitely keep Lin!"

"But this season's management is still a little bit done, and a few transactions are also good, and we can really get Ron Artest again, and our Timberwolves have a chance to make a comeback next season!"

Eyes back to the American Airlines arena,

The third quarter of the game had already begun.

The Spurs broke the kettle and significantly increased their defensive intensity in the second half, Wade was caught in a breakaway, and he was a little careless when he split the ball, and was picked up by Ginobili who rushed up.

"Smack!"

The Spurs launched one of the few counter-attacking fast breaks tonight, and Lin Fei's retreat was very quick, successfully blocking Ginobili's breakthrough with the ball.

But after all, it was 20 minutes of Jordan, and Lin Fei only scored 6 points in the first half, which made Ginobili obviously burn a stronger fighting spirit.

After a change of direction to get rid of fruitlessly, Ginobili quickly distributed the ball to Parker, who rushed in front on the other side.

Parker accelerated into the box and was quickly chased by Wade, so instead of risking a hat for a layup, he passed to Bruce Bowen, who was following up.

Bowen on the left side of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle quickly followed up, received a pass from Parker and shot a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

It was the first time Bowen had scored of the night.

The Spurs started the second half with a fresh look and a fluid defensive counter-attack, which worried Stan Van Gundy, who was sitting on the sidelines of the Heat.

But at the same time, the Spurs' rebound was also expected by Big Van Gundy.

After all, this is a two-time NBA champion, with a complete offensive and defensive system and the first big forward in history, how can it be in a passive situation for the whole game?

The ball is converted, and the Heat attack again.

This time, Wade handed the ball to Lin Fei at the top of the arc, and O'Neal quickly lifted it up to make a classic block.

This move made Lin Fei play smoothly in the first half after holding the ball and blocking the three-point shot, so the Spurs' change of defense was also very active and focused.

O'Neill was not followed by Muhammad, who was opposed, but Duncan.

Before Lin Fei and O'Neal's blocking and dismantling were fully formed, Duncan and Bruce Bowen quickly responded to Bobo's tactical call and pounced directly on Lin Fei like hungry wolves.

Lin Fei was a little surprised by the swift wrapping of the two, and O'Neal was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly went down to prepare to catch the ball.

Lin Fei didn't get a chance to make a quick move, and in the next moment, he was pressed by Duncan and Bowen, and the four long arms continued to interfere.

Even if Lin Fei has the ability to dribble 92, he will still be a little hasty under the bag of the two top defenders.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Fei's risky pass was easily slapped away by Duncan's big hand, Bowen rushed up and quickly controlled the ball, and the Spurs once again completed a successful defense.

Barkley in front of the commentary stage on the sidelines also felt a little strange, and said bluntly:

"Was Lin passing the ball just now? His sense of the ball is still a little too bad after being trapped, how can this escape the clutches of Tim Duncan? ”

Zhuge Bobo, who was standing on the sidelines of the Spurs, also raised a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth at this time.

It seems that his guess is correct, Lin Fei has no passing skills at all, and he is a very correct choice to wrap up in advance after encountering a block.
