David Stern and Mickey Arison chatted happily. On the field, with LeBron James hitting a mid-range shot, the first quarter officially ended. "Music\u003eWritten" Fiction ww.しwxs520.cm

Relying on the explosion of the Big Three, the Heat led by 8 points at the end of the first quarter.

The main players of the Spurs left the field one by one. *Vich patted everyone on the shoulder. In the first quarter, it should be said that the Spurs did not play well, but in *Vecchi's view, it is acceptable to be behind by 8 points.

During the rest period of the first quarter, Anxi seized the time to rest, and Vitch arranged for the players to play in the second quarter.

"Manu, Patrick, Ann, DeJuan, and Thiago, you played in the second quarter." *Vichick took out the tactical board and continued: "We have to make some adjustments, attack fast, increase the speed Come up, play against the Heat; defend..."

*Vich looked at the tactical board and paused, as if thinking about something.

After a few seconds, *Vich raised his head, looked at the five players who will play in the second quarter, and continued: "Ann, you are going to defend LeBron James in the second quarter. We will make some changes in our defensive strategy next, LeBron James. LeBron James left it to Andan to defend, focusing on defending the other four players in Miami, and for LeBron James, defend as long as he can, and let him go if he can't."

Putting LeBron James on guard against his teammates, this defensive strategy is a bit unreliable when you think about it, but Anxi nodded. With his current state, it is impossible to completely guard against LeBron James, but it can still be done with some restrictions. of.

The Spurs sent a full bench lineup, and the Heat, because the bench was weak, they chose to let the superstar play the second quarter with the bench, so LeBron James continued to play in the second quarter, and the point guard was Norris Cole, the shooting guard It's Mike Miller, Shane Battier at power forward, and Udonis Haslem at center.

Seeing the start of the second quarter, Mickey Arison, who had been talking to David Stern, pointed to the field, indicating that the game had started, so the two stopped talking and started watching the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs opened up the offense inside. Manu Ginobili broke through to the three-point line and gave the ball to Thiago Splitter. Facing the short Haslem, Spurs Preet made a light dunk and scored two points.

But for the Heat, Anxi single-handedly defended against LeBron James. James relied on his body to break through Anxi's defense, rush to the inside, and with no one double-teaming, against Anxi's return defense, he succeeded in a layup.

Then the Spurs and the Heat each scored. As soon as the second quarter came up, the two teams actually tied at 8:8. Counting the scores in the first quarter, the Spurs were still 8 points behind.

The Spurs' bench is indeed a serious problem for the Heat.

For the Heat, their bench is one of the best in the league, but against the Spurs, it pales in comparison. The Spurs' starting lineup is at the top level in the league. If compared with the Heat and Thunder, it should be a little bit worse, but the Spurs' bench ranks first in the league, and they are far behind the second.

The Heat let LeBron James take the bench against the Spurs' bench, and it was even tied at 8:8, which shows the difference in the strength of the two teams' benches.

After the two teams tied at 8:8 in the second quarter, the situation changed suddenly. Manu Ginobili broke out. He first scored 2+1 on McMiller, then scored a three-pointer in the fast break, and then Still under the defense of Sean Battier, he rushed to the inside to complete the layup.

With 8 points alone and a mid-range shot from Patrick Mills, Manu led the Spurs to a 10:2 offensive climax, evening the score all at once! And Anxi, who didn't score, also made a huge contribution. For two consecutive rounds, he defended against LeBron James' offense, which gave the Spurs a chance to quickly equalize the score.

Eric Spoelstra quickly called a timeout, and after a little adjustment, he replaced Mario Chalmers and replaced Norris Cole, who was out of shape.

After returning from the timeout, the Heat still had LeBron James with the ball.

Anxi's single defense has shown some restrictions on him, but LeBron James still chooses to do it by himself. With an acceleration, he will break through from Anxi's right side.

Anxi quickly turned sideways, stretched out his hand, and snatched the basketball directly!

While everyone was stunned, Anxi was already holding the ball and rushing forward!

"Steal! Anxi!" Charles Barkley only had time to yell out these two sentences, Anxi had already rushed to the basket, swung his long arms and made a dunk!

bang! Anxi landed immediately, stood on the floor and punched, and the Spurs overtook the score!

"The Spurs overtook the score, came back from the timeout, and the Heat were hit in the head."

When he came back from the timeout, he was intercepted by Anxi at the beginning of the game. LeBron James' face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

Facing Anxi's defense with the ball again, LeBron James' breakthrough was very determined. Holding the ball, he made a straight sprint, rushed to the inside, took a big stride to get rid of Anxi, and directly hit a dunk. The score was called back.

But then, Manu Ginobili faced Sean Battier's defense and hit a long shot again. The Spurs beat the Heat 25:12 in the second quarter, and the point difference was quickly expanded.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Mickey Arison on the sidelines did not have the flower-like smile on his face before, frowning as he watched the game on the court.

David Stern was even more restless, and the Heat fell behind again. Facing the impact of the Spurs' bench lineup, the Heat didn't have the slightest ability to fight back, which is really surprising.

Mickey Arison had no intention of continuing the conversation at all. He stared blankly at the game on the field, and soon, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Facing Anxi's defense, LeBron James forced a breakthrough, hit two consecutive layups, and helped the Heat tie the score.

Mickey Arison showed a look of expectation, and he looked forward to LeBron James taking the Heat to bring the situation back. But the facts are always disappointing. Looking back, Anxi ran out of the open space and directly hit the open three-pointer, and then the defensive end once again blocked James' breakthrough.

Going back to the offensive end, Manu Ginobili made another three-pointer. The unstoppable Spurs completely opened up the firepower on the offensive end. With Anxi on the defensive end, James also performed quite uncomfortable.

In the end, the Spurs beat the Heat 41:25 in the second quarter, not only regaining the 8 points behind in the first quarter, but also leading the Heat by 8 points.

At the end of the first half, the game entered the intermission time. Mickey Arison no longer had the happy expression of the first quarter. It's really not optimistic. If the Heat lose the game again, everything will be really bad.

Mickey Arison's expression was extremely bad. He left the private room in a hurry. People who noticed this began to wonder where the boss of the Heat was going? What are you going to do? (To be continued.)
