Chapter 182

It was hard for Tang Tian to refuse when Popovich spoke up to this point.

However, he is also very clear that it is very risky to use James forward.

If James suddenly chooses to play in a high position with the ball, his weight-loss body is completely out of place.

"Grandpa, I think Kawhi is more suitable than me. He defends better than me, especially against LeBron." He continued.

This is the truth.

With the help of dynamic vision, Tang Tian's current single defense ability is not much worse than Leonard's.

But because of the weight loss, the effect of facing James is definitely not as good as Leonard.

"Yes, you are right." Popovich also reacted and turned to look at Leonard directly.

There was no change in expression on Leonard's face.

"Come forward, restrict him from receiving the ball, confrontation, and consume his energy." Popovich told Leonard several key points.

Leonard nodded.

Back from the halftime break, the Heat made defensive adjustments, directly replacing Chalmers with Miller and playing point guard with Wade as a cameo.

The Spurs' lineup has not changed.

James went to the low position in the frontcourt and continued to ask for a position. At this time, Jefferson was fighting with his body.

James was very uncomfortable, which is why he hadn't practiced his back before. This kind of position full of physical confrontation consumes a lot of energy.

However, the ball went in in the end, and James' turn and shot directly caused Jefferson's pulling foul.

Two free throw opportunities.

Perhaps Jefferson's intensity was a bit high, and James missed two free throws.

Split received a defensive rebound.

Popovich nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines, and that was what he wanted.

The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt, and the Heat began to double-team again. Green's pass was directly intercepted by Wade.

The Heat counterattacked, and Wade rushed to the frontcourt with lightning speed to score a fast break.

The two sides tied at 48!

At this time, Popovich turned around and called Tang Tian directly.

At the press conference after the game against the Clippers in his first show, he told reporters a cold joke, saying that he was old, otherwise Tang Tian should be given more playing time.

Now it seems to be a proverb, Tang Tian really didn't have much rest time in this match.

Miller's off-ball foul, Tang Tian replaced Green.

The Heat still double-teamed the ball holder, Tang Tian used Duncan's pick-and-roll to run out ahead of time, and directly caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Tang Tian's sixth three-pointer in this game!

"The basket is the sea in his eyes tonight!" the sideline commentator shouted excitedly.

Tang Tian's outside performance tonight is really incredible!

After hitting this three-pointer, he scored a game-high 21 points!

Don, the unassuming Spurs rookie, Tian, ​​went crazy!

Spoelster stretched his hand and tapped his forehead, then signaled the defense to switch back to man-to-man.

The Heat's frontcourt attack, Jefferson continued to fight James.

James was impatient, and after receiving the ball, he directly chose to attack the frame, and the shot after the confrontation recreated Jefferson's thug.

His one-on-one singles ability after gaining weight is really not a bit abnormal.

Jefferson fouled twice early in the second half, and Popovich got up and called Leonard up to replace Jefferson.

James adjusted his breathing this time, and made two free throws amidst the boos of the fans, saving himself some face.

With a point difference of 1 point, the situation on the court is extremely anxious. The intensity of the game and the performance of both sides are completely at the level of the playoffs or even the finals.

The Heat no longer double-teamed the ball holder, and Parker signaled to play AI hammer tactics.

The Heat have obviously strengthened their marking on Tang Tian, ​​and Spoelstra's status in the team is higher than expected.

Parker seized the opportunity and came to a tacit cooperation with Duncan. Duncan took the ball and dribbled one step to squeeze Joel Anthony and put the ball into the basket.

The scene cheered again.

In an anxious situation, any goal is crucial.

James saw Jefferson go down and continued to drop low for the ball.

However, Leonard's defensive ability at this time was reflected. Instead of fighting desperately like Jefferson, he used a half-circle forward.

His length and hands make him unmatched on the defensive end, and he maximizes those talents in smart ways.

Wade tried holding the ball and didn't dare to give it in. Leonard's arms and big hands looked too threatening.

He asked for Joel Anthony's pick-and-roll, trying to play Splitter out of position.

But Tang Tian squeezed past him and didn't give him a chance, so Wade could only choose to force Tang Tian.

His speed was very fast, Tang Tian gave up a step, and Wade chose to make an emergency stop throw.

Tang Tian stopped early and stretched out his hand to interfere with his sight.

"boom!"

Wade's floater missed.

After Tang Tian loses weight, he can't completely block Wade, but it is still possible to limit it.

Split got a defensive rebound.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Spurs hit the Zip hammer. The Heat's defense did not dare to close in too tightly, and Parker seized the opportunity to throw a shot and scored.

Unconsciously, the Spurs have established a 5-point lead.

Spoelstra stands on the sidelines with his hips akimbo.

This time Popovich did not have a major adjustment in tactics or personnel. He didn't react so quickly, but he also realized that something was wrong.

The Heat's frontcourt offense, Leonard continued to half-circle to defend James, James couldn't catch the ball, and went directly to the high post.

As Tang Tian expected, James changed his face after receiving the ball.

Leonard sank his focus to defend. James made a tank-like breakthrough with the ball. Leonard had very long hands, but he had no chance to make a shot under confrontation.

James led Leonard to the penalty area, but at this time Tang Tian came to help defend.

James' focus is on Leonard.

"Snapped!"

Just when he was about to make a strong attack, the ball in his hand was shot off!

Tang Tian's steal!

Tang Tian got the ball, and the Spurs pushed for a fast break.

The steal came so suddenly that the other players on the Heat didn't react.

Parker attacked the frontcourt and threw the ball to Tang Tian who was following up. After Tang Tian received the ball, he made an open three-pointer.

Seeing Tang Tian make a move, the fans instinctively opened their mouths.

"Shua!"

The moment the ball hit the net, the entire ATT Center Arena boiled instantly!

Tang Tian, ​​the seventh three-pointer of the game!

The number of three-pointers made in a single game in the NBA is 12, and he has completed half of them in the third quarter, and more!

"Holyshit!" The commentator lost himself in excitement and swears directly.

Where the basket is the sea, it is simply a cruise missile with a positioning device installed!

The Spurs once again opened the point difference to 8 points!

James is also a little depressed at this time, how many franks is Tang Tian planning to invest in?

Even if I agreed with the management not to choose you, you don't have to vote so much, do you?

The second player in my alliance also needs to save face!

He played Leonard with the ball in the frontcourt, but Tang Tian double-teamed him immediately, and he split the ball to Miller.

Parker helped defend Miller, and Miller gave it to Wade. Wade's layup was blocked by Duncan.

The Spurs' defensive coordination is smooth and airtight. This is also a feeling on the defensive end!

Duncan took the defensive rebound, the Spurs pushed the defensive counterattack, and Parker made a quick break to the front.

Tang Tian was the first to follow up again. This time, Wade saw Parker's pass and flew towards Tang Tian directly after seeing it.

Tang Tian waited for a while, watching Wade fly past his eyes, he changed into a three-point breakthrough with one move, went to the basket and directly dunked with both hands to score!

"Boom!"

Wade tried to catch up but didn't catch up!

After the dunk, Tang Tian was a little excited and swung around the hoop before coming down.

The fans in the entire arena are crazy!

This is not ejaculation, another day? !
