The Heat and Spurs match is imminent, and James' pre-match interview was also exposed by the media.
When he saw the content of the report, Tang Tian felt a little speechless.
James's image in front of the media is really good, and he can talk nonsense with his eyes open.
But perhaps for him, things may have been forgotten.
Fortunately, he could just remind the "little emperor".
The attendance rate of the ATT Center Arena that night exceeded 80%, and the scene seemed to be full.
Probably only a gimmicky game against the Heat will allow San Antonio fans to come to the arena together.
The Spurs have a poor away record and urgently need a home victory to boost morale.
The Heat need to use an opponent like the Spurs to make a name for themselves. This is a game for both sides.
Before the opening ceremony of the game, the fans at the scene also cheered.
Tang Tian felt something called enthusiasm for the first time in this arena.
All things are just right.
No one else noticed, but Ginobili in suit and leather discovered a different look on Tang Tian's face tonight. He predicted that Tang Tian would be a little different.
After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams made their debut.
Spurs outside Parker and Green, striker Jefferson and Duncan, but the center is not Blair but Split.
Obviously, Popovich knows the Heat very well and knows that the inside is their weakness.
On the Heat side, Mario Chalmers and Wade are on the outside, James and Bosh are on the front, and Joel Anthony is on the center.
Bosh and Duncan jumped the ball, Duncan put the ball back to halftime, won the opportunity for the lead attack for the home team.
Parker held the ball to the frontcourt and reached out to prepare for the team to play tactics.
But without waiting for the Spurs to start running, Wade on the weak side directly overcame.
The Heat chose to hold the ball in the opening game!
Parker scored Green to give Green a three-point chance.
But at the moment he shot, Wade quickly returned to the defense to interfere.
"boom!"
Green's three-pointer missed.
Split was stuck by Anthony at this time, and James flew into the inside to grab a defensive rebound.
The Heat played a defensive counterattack directly after getting the rebound.
Wade took James's pass and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. In the air to avoid Green's interference, the tie rod hit the ball.
From the defense to the attack, the timer only walked for 3 seconds.
"Quick counterattack!" The commentators on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim.
Defensive counterattack is the most impressive label for this Heat team.
Parker held the ball and then went to the frontcourt, the Heat continued to wrap up.
The footage was given to the Heat coach Spoelstra on the sidelines. Obviously, this is a tactic he prepared for the Spurs.
Parker's points were quick, but Green did not dare to shoot again after receiving the ball this time.
James and Wade held the ball towards him at the same time, Green gave the ball to Jefferson.
After receiving the ball, Jefferson broke through and rushed to the rim, but James had withdrawn from the defense and Bosh from the rim also stretched his hand to wrap it up.
He wanted to hang the ball to Duncan under the basket, and was predicted by Bosh. After jumping, he directly caught the ball!
Heat steals!
Bosh gave the ball to James, James quickly held the ball to advance, and Jefferson, who was chasing and defending, was thrown away in the fast break.
After seeing Green assist, he threw the ball directly into the frontcourt.
Wade cut from the wing at this time, jumped to catch the ball and dunked directly with one hand.
Zhan Wei connect!
Wade squatted down after dunking and landed, his right hand stretched out, his eyes staring at the stretched out hand, and he mimicked O'Neill's "love" celebration.
There was a restless scene.
In the opening two rounds, the Spurs were completely suppressed by the Heat.
In today's training session during the day, Popovich did a tactical analysis in addition to his daily training.
After James arrived at the Heat, this team had two obvious characteristics.
One is that the lineup is deformed. They have not had a reliable center for a long time.
Another point is their style of play. After oppressive defense, they play defensive counterattack.
Popovich is an S-level coach, and his analysis and response before the game are the most appropriate.
Started with Split, using his height advantage to create an inside attack and a second rebound opportunity;
The success rate of playing positions does not give the Heat too many opportunities to fight back.
But it seems that this time the old man was also robbed by the opposite Spoelstra.
The Heat's starting lineup has not changed, but the defensive strategy has changed.
It does not give you the opportunity to play at all, and will limit you to the ball holder, forcing you to pass errors like just now.
This tactic is actually very simple and a bit risky.
But I have to say that Spoelstra knows Popovich very well, and he made a surprise move in front of his father.
This coach, who has been standing behind the Heat Big Three and has been less eye-catching, has been underestimated.
For the Spurs' offense, Parker directly gave the ball to Duncan this time. Duncan scored the ball and gave it to outside Jefferson.
Jefferson had a three-point chance, but his shot was obviously not fast enough, and was interrupted by James, who was back, and his shot was also missed.
Joel Anthony and Bosh's thoughts were very clear at this time, and they didn't jump, even stuck Duncan and Split to prevent them from going to the penalty area.
Wade killed back inside and jumped high to grab a defensive rebound.
The Heat again counterattacked. This time Wade voted for Lee. After the breakthrough, the ball was returned to James. James drove directly to Jefferson and made a layup.
The Heat are mainly anti-guests and directly hit the Spurs 6-0.
Tang Tian sat on the sidelines thoughtfully.
Spoelstra's tactics are actually very simple, and really risky.
If the Spurs open up from outside, this will be a fatal blow to the Heat's defensive confidence.
But I have to say that Spoelstra has the capital to take this risk: the Heat have Wade and James.
At this time, Wade and James are at their peak, and the two men are very fast on the double and back defense.
The chance of a seemingly empty seat the previous second was disturbed when the Spurs players were about to shoot.
Green's first ball at the opening ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and Jefferson's ball just now are the same.
The Heat's talent is at that level, which gives Spoelstra more room to play than Popovich.
But in fact, this tactic is very simple to crack.
As long as the open player shoots fast and accurate enough to throw those **** in, the Heat will naturally not dare to hold the ball.
You know, for the Spurs, Parker is here, and they do n’t have to worry about the situation where the ball ca n’t pass.
The Spurs' Zip tactics, Jefferson's empty three-pointer at the bottom corner still failed to enter. After James rushed to grab the rebound, the Heat pushed back.
Wade's layup caused Green's pull foul.
After hitting two free throws, the Heat made a dream start of 8-0.
Popovich turned back to the bench and called Tang Tian and Leonard.
