Chapter 181 Listen to Mo De!

Back in the third quarter, the Spurs replaced Nazr with Nesterovich, giving up the fast break game to a certain extent and further strengthening the defense.

Popovich also considered continuing to play fast breaks to chase points, but the Heat took the lead in the first half and rotated well. If they continue like this, it is hard to say which team will collapse first in the fourth quarter.

Betting on three points is a good idea to solve the problem, but this approach is regarded very seriously by the Heat.

During the regular season, many teams found that they were not as good as the Heat, so they developed technology and bet on three-pointers. Over time, the Heat became particularly sensitive to defensive three-pointers.

It's okay to catch a three-pointer like Reggie Miller who doesn't move at a fixed position. It's hard to find a particularly good shot opportunity with the Heat with regular fixed-point three-pointers.

However, the sky is the limit, and they can't match their efficiency in positional warfare, but they can still "cut down sharks".

Don't say that all the routines have been used badly, but O'Brien's free throw shooting rate in this year's playoffs is there. In the first three rounds, he only shot 45% of his free throws. Compared to his 55% field goal percentage, if you don't cut him, who will be cut?

On the Heat's side, O'Brien, who didn't perform much in the first half, slapped his chest loudly in the locker room during halftime.

In recent years, as he has realized that he is getting older, O'Pang has been adhering to the strategy of holding back during the regular season and showing off in the playoffs.

But he didn't want his performance to be hindered by successive injuries in this year's playoffs, dragging him back to the finals again and again.

Some time ago, there was a lot of talk about O'Brien being no longer the strongest big man in the NBA.

Today he will let the world prove once again who is the best center in the world!

Da Fan, who has always had no sense of presence, also rarely took the lead, setting the tone of focusing on the inside in the second half.

This is also normal. When it comes to such a crucial game, people tend to be conservative in decision-making.

As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

Translated into vernacular: Going with the wind will produce meat steadily, while going against the wind and betting on output.

Mo Wen agreed with this idea at first and even planned to return the tactical board to Da Fan, but after seeing the lineup the Spurs put out, he knew something was going to go wrong.

Sure enough, after O'Pang excitedly ate Nesterovich, who had just come on the court, he entered the daily "basketball training class" and started practicing free throws.

Even before Mo Wen's time travel, the Spurs still had a reserve of 6 inside players, no matter if they were good or not, they definitely had them, so when it came to cutting off sharks, it didn't matter if they had another one. The only problem was that O.

Fat's free throw shooting doesn't support their cut.

Jingle bell, jingle bell~

Obviously, O'Brien maintained a stable level of performance and contributed a performance that extremely damaged the image of the NBA.

Stern, who was watching O'Brien's free throws in the office, wished he could put himself on a ventilator.

This game is not only broadcast live in the United States, but also broadcast internationally.

Both the Spurs and the Heat have many international players from China, France, Slovenia, Argentina...

Stern was originally dreaming about a bumper harvest for the NBA's internationalization this year.

This is not a strike, it is clearly a slap in the CEO’s face!

In the third quarter, O'Neal was extremely angry and scored 10 points on just 2 shots... If you ignore that he also had 15 free throws, it would be quite explosive.

"Dad is so stupid, stop taking free throws and pass the ball to Uncle Mo!"

Sharif couldn't stand it anymore. He curled his hands into a trumpet and shouted to his father on the court.

Aopang didn't get off guard because of the audience's laughter at the beginning and the disappointed sighs later on. He was put off guard by his son's voice.

Later, O'Pang didn't do anything else after he got off the field. He ran to young Sharif and performed a performance of "Father is kind and son is filial" in front of everyone.

Under the leadership of O'Fatty, the Heat were held back by 3 points in the third quarter.

Why did the Spurs only recover 3 points?

Because the Spurs also have undercover agents!

Lao Deng's free throws today were only slightly better than O'Pang's, with 3 of 6 free throws, while Parker showed the characteristics of O'Neal on the outside, with 3 of 7 free throws. He burst into the back, and Mourning, who came on the bench, was too lazy to find the ball to defend.

Just say hello to his arm.

66% of Westbrook's free throws were chased and criticized by fans. That's because they have never seen Parker in this series.

In the original time and space, Parker played 7 games in this year's finals, and his free throw percentage was only 44%, which was unprecedented and unprecedented.

The two teams entered the final quarter with a 6-point difference.

Mo Wen and Wade did not go to find O'Pang again. They used O'Pang as a check and took over the team's offense from inside to outside.

Ginobili, who was holding back his energy and playing hard in the past, wanted to step up and be the savior. Popovich also boldly put Robert Horry on the team, hoping to bring out Horry's aura as "Mr. Clutch."

Ginobili showed near-superstar strength with his not magical but decisive breakthroughs and stable shooting, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.

Horry also hit two three-pointers with help, plus an air cut, scoring 8 points.

However, facing the Heat's perimeter duo that already has superstar strength, this alone is not enough.

On the scene, the two sides exchange blood and fight back and forth, but the Heat's damage will always be higher.

Seven minutes into the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two sides reached double digits, and it never got closer.

Uncle Bao was targeted by Mo Wen. He was beaten severely by Mo Wen and scolded by Popovich. At the same time, he was stared at by the referee and warned and fouled at every turn. This little life was quite lively.

"Ah, is this the finals? It doesn't feel any different from usual."

Seeing that the game was about to end, Mourning also relaxed and leaned on the back of his chair, enjoying watching the game.

"Hey, you're such a bastard, how dare you say that? It's not embarrassing to have to rely on your young talent to experience the finals at your age." Leitner, who was chewing gum, sneered beside him.

"You idiot? You didn't play for a minute, and you didn't make any contribution at all. How dare you criticize me? At least I have a clear conscience when I go back to get the ring. What about you, haha." Mourning scolded with a rude smile.

"So you want to compete with me?" Leitner raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you can't compete. After all, I have two more NCAA championships than you, hahaha!"

"Fake, you son of a bitch, I'll kill you!" Mourning couldn't bear it and gritted his teeth and scratched Leitner.

As time passed by, the Spurs gradually moved towards darkness as they suffocated.

At the last minute, the two teams replaced their full substitute lineups with tacit understanding, declaring that the game was officially over.

Heat 106:95 Spurs.

A narrow win by 11 points.

When the whistle ended, the spectators on the sidelines were a bit happier than the players on the court. Many white fans also acted like red fans because of their excitement.

In terms of players, Mo Wen played 34 minutes, making 9 of 17 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 27 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block;

O'Neal played 33 minutes, making 8 of 14 shots, 9 of 21 free throws, 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks;

Wade performed well today, playing 36 minutes, making 10 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

What's even more disappointing than the Big Three scoring 79 points together is that they still maintained a reasonable rotation time.

No other Heat players scored in double figures, but everyone also performed well. Without many free throws, they scored the remaining 27 points on 26 shots.

As for the Spurs, Duncan, who played 42 minutes, scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. People could see his fatigue when he left the game.

It was caused by both mental and physical torture.

He had just finished the tiebreaker with the marathon team Sunshine, and today's game was almost full again. He had given everything he had, but the failure process was so disappointing.

Ginobili supported the Spurs' outside business. He made 10 of 19 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. He performed unreasonable scoring many times, which is considered qualified.

The outside core.

But anyone who has watched the game can see the gap between him and Mo Wen.

Parker became the most disappointing one in the GDP combination, making only 4 of 14 shots, 5 of 10 free throws, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and only had 14 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds.

However, although Parker is disappointing, it is Uncle Bao who is most criticized.

Popovich gave Uncle Bao 30 minutes of playing time. Not only did he fail to guard against the Heat's two stars on the perimeter, he also only made 1 of 4 three-pointers on the offensive end.

In the TNT commentary room, Barkley patted his belly and said shamelessly, "I can do it too."

"Although there was only one game, I think fans who watched the game should be able to see the gap between the two teams. In this game, the Spurs tried to use the fast break they are familiar with recently, and also tried the ball.

The team’s traditional defense was ineffective.”

"I don't know if Greg has anything else prepared. If nothing more comes out, San Antonio fans can prepare for the funeral of the Spurs' season."

"As for the Heat, I have nothing to say. At least in my eyes, they really don't have any shortcomings. If they do, it's probably O'Neal's free throws. Ahem, I mean as long as they play to their normal level, that's right now.

The best team in the league."

Kenny Smith concluded after the game.

During the post-game interview session, Popovich turned on his big whiner mode after losing.

There were a lot of complaints about various aspects of the game, from the unlimited interference from fans and cheerleaders on the sidelines, to the referees' tendency to double-standard, to the Heat's shameless three-pointers.

"Wait a minute, you mentioned three-pointers, right?" A reporter on the sidelines caught the point.

"Yes, that damn three-pointer should be cancelled. Tim (Duncan) may have to work hard for a whole quarter to face Shaq in the paint and score three goals to get 6 points. And that stinky guy from the Heat

The kid only needs to pretend to be cool and dribble from the outside, and then randomly shoot two three-pointers to erase Tim's efforts in the entire quarter. This is so unfair!"

"But, did the Spurs shoot one more three-pointer than the Heat today?" the reporter asked with a puzzled face, holding up a copy of the technical statistics table in his hand.

"...Does anyone else want to ask questions?"

It is commendable that although Popovich complained a lot, he did not complain about his own players.

On the other side, the cheerful Da Fan was also calmly dealing with the media.

"Coaching with the Heat should be the easiest job in the world, because you only need to use three sentences-'Hey, Mo!', 'Hey, Shaq!', 'Hey, Dwyane!' A success

As a coach, you don’t need to talk too much, you just need to remind the players at the right time, and the players will know what to do.”

"The Heat's tactics? It can also be completed in three sentences, listen - 'Attack around Dwyane!' 'Defend around Shaq!' 'Listen to Mo De!'"

"I know how you think of me in private, but this is the reality. There is a saying that I always sneered at before, but now I think it makes perfect sense - luck is also a part of strength, hahaha!"

"Everyone will understand after watching me that coaches really don't need to be so tired, because no matter how hard we try, we still have to look at the players' execution. When your players are strong enough, the role of the coach will definitely be weakened. If

When the game gets tough, I will definitely let you see my coaching ability, but unfortunately, that situation is too rare for the current Heat team."

Da Fan also tried to pretend to be a famous coach, but he found that not many people believed in him, so he simply stopped pretending and had a showdown.

Reaching the second round in the first year and winning the championship in the second year, this kind of coaching performance is impressive enough even if there is a lot of luck.

No way, no way, no one really believes that the champion coach is a parallel import with nothing in his stomach, right?

Comments from netizens: The Heat are looking for a head coach with a low salary @O'Neal's grandma, @Spongebob, @Bernie (Heat mascot), @Barkley, @kinggang...

In major basketball forums on the Internet, the Heat column is full of excitement, but the columns of other teams are relatively silent. Even the draft posts that were highly discussed at this time in previous years have lost popularity this year.

Everyone is discussing when the Heat will disband.

Time seems to go back to the summer when the Lakers dynasty won their first championship. No matter how strong the Heat are now, it is actually okay. What really scares and makes everyone feel uncomfortable is next year. The Big Three will still be there next year, and the contracts of several important role players will also be there.

The same, which means that even if the Heat make random or no reinforcements in the summer, they can still maintain their current strong competitiveness next year.

Not to mention that Riley's trade selection ability has become a god this year.

···

In Game 2 of the Finals, American Airlines Arena suddenly became the hottest attraction in Miami.

The shops surrounding the arena have been emptied out by the influx of fans.

I don’t know how many times the tickets have gone up. It is said that ordinary tickets for the stands on the second floor are sold for several hundred dollars, and the front row seats in the players’ family area are counted as W.

And the Heat did not disappoint the fans who paid high prices for tickets.

Since the start of G2, the Heat have always maintained a lead and suppressed the game.

Popovich came up with something new. He designed several outside tactics and let Duncan and Horry, a pair of spatial insiders, play at the same time, trying to pull O'Neal out and let the Spurs' two outside attackers play their role.

.

It had a certain effect, but similarly, after Horry came on the court, the Spurs' weak inside line also became the focus of the Heat's attack.

Duncan is very versatile, but a space-oriented fourth position like Horry cannot protect the frame at all. His competition with O'Fat means that the Spurs' inside line is also open.

Wade played his best first half in this year's playoffs, scoring 24 points in 20 minutes.

After halftime, the Heat still had an 8-point lead.

After entering the second half, Bowen, who had had enough "elbow banquet" against Mo Wen, was sent to guard Wade. As soon as he left, the Heat's offensive focus shifted to Mo Wen, who was full of energy.

Ginobili has good defensive ability, but his physical fitness is only so low, and his defensive and offensive efficiency has declined.

The decline in the Spurs' perimeter efficiency will lead to a further shrinkage of the Heat's lineup, which will in turn affect Duncan's performance.

The cruelest thing is that Ginobili has wasted his time, and Mo Wen is still very efficient. Ginobili has good strength and balance, but there is not much room for him to play outside the three-point line. And Bowen

He had previously been tasked with defending outside pitchers, so he didn't have much experience in this area.

The Argentinian also tried to use his acting skills to deceive the whistle, but Mo Wen simply did it for real to help him realize his dream of becoming an actor.

He made two fouls on Mo Wen and almost sent himself to the Spurs Hall of Valor.

After finding out that the Spurs still wanted to kill Shaq and disgusting him, O'Fatty consciously lowered his desire to take action and instead focused on the defensive end.

In the first half, Lao Dengtou was given two big blocks. At first, Lao Dengtou was just trying to help his teammates to open up the field and did not get into the paint. After O'Pang realized that the opponent's efficiency would not be very high if he let it out, he directly blocked Lao Dengtou.

Deng's head went out of the space under the basket.

After playing 35 minutes in the whole game, O'Pang got 16 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 steal. He made 8 of 19 head-stops against Deng, who was quite efficient on the court. He only scored 20 points with free throws, and even scored 20 points.

6 mistakes.

Wade scored a game-high 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, but today the MVP went to Mo Wen, who scored 18 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds and 4 steals.

As the 15th player in history to achieve a triple-double in the Finals, Mo Wen's identity as Magician and Bird's successor has been mentioned again.

As for a certain player who used the Magic Bird as a model, no one talks about it now.

O'Pang's performance was not bad, but he scored a little less today, only 15 points.

Haslem had a great time facing off against Horry for most of the game today. He scored 16 points and 10 rebounds, which was quite impressive.

The Heat defeated the Spurs 108:99, once again winning steadily.

Before Catherine (Schwarzenegger) came to Miami, Mo Wen secretly rewarded himself with a big sister named Ruth. Unfortunately, his biggest wish could not be fulfilled.

G3, SBC Arena (now AT&T Arena).

Popovich pulled the hot man aside again. Seeing that he was not in a high mood, he roared in a low voice:

"We need your power Bruce, you still have one chance, and we also have one chance. Do you really want to see everyone finish playing together?"

Sorry, I went to bed late because my body... I treated it as a day off yesterday.
