On June 12, US time, the first game of the 2011-2012 NBA Finals officially opened at the ATT Arena.
The first game of the finals attracted worldwide attention.
At the game site, the TNT Big Three, plus ESPN's Miller and Brin, attended the five-person stand.
Not only fans in the United States, because of Tang Tian's participation, China on the other side of the ocean is also bursting in ratings.
On CCTV 5, veteran commentators Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also started the hot field early on the side commentary.
"Director Zhang, do you think the probability of winning this first game will be greater?"
"I think? Spurs should have a better chance." Zhang Weiping thought for a while.
"How do you say, first of all, the Heat have just played with the Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference. The physical strength must be worse.
And in terms of play, the Spurs are a typical inside-out game. Spacing is much better than the Heat. The Heat can shoot three points from outside, but the playoffs are not accurate.
There is also the defense of the Spurs, Green, Leonard, Tang Tian. Their defense on the front line and the perimeter is very good. They are not afraid of James and Wade's breakthrough.
The last is Popovich's ability, and the opposite Spoelstra is not bad, but if you look at the Western Conference finals to play Thunder, Popovich's three-wing lineup is not something ordinary coaches can think of and dare to try of.
In addition, this is the Spurs' home field, so ah, the Spurs are more likely to win the first game. "
Zhang Weiping, as a commentator of the older generation, is often active on the front line of the game, and the commentary is quite professional.
"Then what do you think the Heat need to do to win?" Su Qun then asked.
"This, we still have to look at James and the Heat's outside shooters. We said that the sense of spacing is also relative. If James feels good tonight, the Spurs' defense has shrunk, and the Heat will throw another three. The Spurs are up.
In fact, if there is a Kobe Bryant at this time, he can shoot suddenly, which is better than James. "
Su Qun, who was talking about Zhang Weiping, couldn't help laughing. No Lakers in this game could say Kobe.
The commentary talked, and the scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of both sides were also released.
Over the Heat, Chanmoos and Wade are on the perimeter, Shane Battier and James are on the front line, and Bosh is the center.
After Bosh's comeback, he played in three Eastern Conference finals, all returning to the starting lineup.
And Spoelstra took the initiative to change, putting Battier, who had performed well before, into the starting lineup.
Coupled with Bosh playing the fifth position, this is also a lineup to push back the speed.
On the Spurs side, because Bosh is the big man who can play back and pass, Popovich also didn't use the three-wing starting lineup.
Outside Parker and Green, forward Tang Tian and Dior, center Duncan.
This is also a lineup without centers.
This is the same for both sides.
After the opening ceremony, the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.
Before going on the field, players went to the technical stage to wipe their hands with magnesium powder.
Magnesium powder is a commonly used auxiliary tool in the NBA, which can prevent the palm from sweating, and avoid the situation where the hand slides and holds the ball unstable.
James grabbed a hand after rubbing the magnesium powder, and threw it directly into the sky towards Spurs fans.
Spread magnesium powder.
Little emperor's signature action.
Regardless of home and away, he will come so once.
Most fans have already been used to this kind of action, regardless of the sidelines or some fans can not help but hush.
After all, this action is a bit provocative.
After the starters appeared, Bosh and Duncan jumped in the midfield.
Bosh is taller than Duncan and does not lose Duncan with a wingspan, but after the whistle, the ball was dialed back by Duncan in advance.
Shi Fo once jumped the ball in the West and never won Ibaka, and finally raised his breath in the finals.
The Spurs took the lead.
Zip's hammer tactics, Tang Tian and Green's placement opened the space, and Parker used Dior's pick-and-roll to the basket to make a breakthrough.
Like Zhang Weiping said, the Spurs have a good sense of space on the court, and the Heat's defense has expanded a lot.
After Parker broke through, he didn't pass the ball to Green or Tang Tian according to the tactics, but instead looked back and gave the ball to Duncan.
Duncan received the ball and shot directly against Bosh.
Bosh was tall with long arms, but the confrontation was not strong. After Duncan leaned a little, he couldn't go up.
Duncan's shot was not too disturbed, and the ball hit the box.
The Spurs come first.
Offense of the Heat, the Spurs opened the 2-3 defense.
The ball gave Chanmoth a chance after falling for a while.
Chanmoos missed three points.
With the exception of Shane Battier, the Heat's role players this year have really not been satisfactory.
Duncan jammed Bosh and received a defensive rebound.
Parker pushed the ball to the frontcourt. With the same tactics, Duncan received the ball and continued to single Bosh.
Bosh sinks his weight and straightens his arms to interfere.
Duncan turned and shot in succession.
"boom!"
The ball was missed by Bosh.
However, Duncan moved faster than Bosh. After judging the ball's point, he reached for a dunk shot.
4 to 0!
Less than 2 minutes into the opening, Duncan has already scored 4 points and 2 rebounds.
Spoelstra was at the side of the field with his hands on his hips, and looked helplessly at Bosh.
To say that Bosh is not weak, and that such a big man was beaten so hard by an old Duncan.
The Heat's offense, Bosla went outside the three-point line.
James chose to make a layup.
step.
Two steps.
After stepping on the third step, he got up and shot against Dior, causing the latter to pull fouls and get two free throws.
There was a hiss at the scene.
James was booed twice.
They all missed.
Duncan received another rebound.
Parker pushed the ball to the frontcourt, Duncan continued to hold the ball singles.
At this time Shane came back to assist.
Duncan gave the ball directly to Green.
Green took a three-pointer.
"boom!"
The ball was slightly off.
However, Duncan got stuck at the rim, grabbed offensive rebounds, and pushed back against Bosh.
"Oh!"
The dunk blew up the scene and also screamed Barkley and O'Neal.
This is Duncan, 35!
Spoelstra was only shaking his head at this time, he called Haslem and asked him to get ready to replace Chamos.
Wade continuously changed backwards to make a break and jumper.
But Tang Tian was under pressure, and he still missed his shot.
The Heat haven't scored yet!
Looking back, Parker dunked the ball directly.
Duncan beat Bosh for the fourth time.
Wade wanted to collect the ball, but Duncan forced him back.
Duncan went on to a substantial turn to the layup and a backhand layup.
Bosh reached for the cover.
But Duncan shot quickly.
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
"Oh!"
The referee whistles and Bosh's thug fouls.
But Duncan came in after hitting the shot!
2 + 1!
Duncan's 8th consecutive point since the start!
He rules the basket!
The reaction of the fans at the scene exploded.
Tang Tian shouted before Duncan.
I am a stone Buddha who are you!
He wanted to roar out.
But Duncan was expressionless.
Ok.
You are a stone Buddha.
Taking advantage of the dead ball time, the Heat replaced Chalmers with Haslem.
This move was helpless by Spoelstra.
The Heat are good at defensive counterattacks. If they can't defend, they don't matter.
Haslem and the Thunder's Collison are a bit similar, they are the kind of hard-working players.
And compared to Collison, his defensive ability is also stronger, not afraid of confrontation.
Duncan missed the penalty and Haslem protected the defensive rebound.
James scored a goal under Dior's basket and finally broke the scoring drought for the Heat.
Looking back, Dior responded to the high post and gave the ball directly to Duncan.
Duncan hooked up after receiving the ball against Haslem.
"boom!"
The ball popped up behind the rim.
Haslem's top defense effect is obviously better than Bosh.
However, with his height and wingspan, Duncan pressed Haslem and then grabbed offensive rebounds.
Duncan's third offensive rebound!
The 10th point of a single quarter!
"Dude! You can't let an old guy score like this inside!" O'Neal said, spreading his hands.
"If it were me, I would definitely push him out of the penalty area!" Barkley also yelled.
"Hey! Hey! Charles, can you?" Kenny Smith broke down in time.
"I ... well, even if I can't push him out of the box, I will respond on the offensive end!"
Barkley's voice didn't fall, James broke through and attracted Duncan's double bag, and gave it to Haslem.
Haslem dribbled the ball and wanted to buckle it, but Duncan backed off and flew the ball out of the field.
"Man, what are you talking about?" Smith said to Barkley with a smile.
"He can't," Barkley said dismissively.
His Baron was also the master of the downturn in the paint, much stronger than Haslem.
This is Kenny Smith's recognition, but the flying **** pig is a real meaning.
But you can't ask Haslem to play like Buckley.
The money they took was different.
"It seems that I missed a little earlier, Duncan. His advantage in the paint is obvious." Zhang Weiping also said at the commentary at this time.
Su Qun nodded.
Zhang Weiping said that on one hand, on the other hand, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Duncan had such strength at this age.
The Heat sent a sideline shot, and Wade took a pass and shot from James.
4 to 10.
But the next round, Duncan's strong catch from the inside also caused Haslem's beater.
After making two free throws, he arranged the first 12 points of the Spurs!
12 to 4!
"That day, they finally remembered the horror once dominated by giants."
Riman's "Attack on Titan" was in flames last year. At this time, many otaku fans unknowingly came up with this sentence.
The dominance of Duncan's inside line during the peak period was really no different from that of the Giants. Only O'Neal, the commentator, could compare.
Now the giant is back again.
Spoelstra was really helpless at this time.
When the regular season played, Duncan didn't play like this, nor did he play like that!
In the situation where the inside line is cut through, there is no way to talk about defensive counterattack!
He turned and called Joel Anthony again.
This is the third British battle against Dumbledore.
Bosh missed a three-pointer from the perimeter and Dior took the rebound.
Duncan made a foul for Haslem.
The game entered the dead ball, Joel Anthony came on in place of Haslem.
This move amused the giants of the commentator.
The Spurs are an old Duncan, but the Heat are playing constantly.
Anthony is only 3 cm taller than Haslem, but he and Hayes are a type of player with a stiff body and a stable set.
He really pushed Duncan out of the three-second zone, as Buckley said.
Duncan didn't get a phone call from inside. Parker shot into the basket and was not interfered by James.
James grabbed a defensive rebound and sent it to the frontcourt to Battier.
But Battier's three-pointer was interrupted by Tang Tian and failed to make it.
Duncan received another defensive rebound.
When the Spurs pushed to the frontcourt again, Diaw sank to the inside, and Duncan made a false pass with a high pass.
After seeing Anthony shrink in, he shot directly from the mid-range of the free throw line.
"boom!"
Still playing!
Come in!
Section 14 points!
Bosh, Haslem, Joel Anthony!
No one comes here!
And more importantly, the Heat have no useable inside line!
James scored a front three-pointer to Wade's open three-pointer, Wade took a shot and did not shoot.
Tonight's basket at the ATT Arena, reject the Heat's shot!
Tang Tian protected this long defensive rebound.
In the frontcourt, Duncan leaned back on Anthony in a high position, turned around and walked to the basket, attracted Bosh to defend and passed to Dior.
Dior shakes his big **** and directly dunks with both hands!
16 to 4!
The Spurs are playing with great momentum.
Popovich's layout before the game was full of pertinence, and the Spurs players used super high execution power to play everything he wanted!
The Heat are really a little out of hand!
The point difference is constantly widening, and the biggest point is 17 points!
However, Duncan was there, and he was replaced in the first quarter after 8 minutes.
The Heat's insiders were relieved and felt a little bright.
After the first quarter, the Spurs led by 30 to 18.
Although the Heat recovered some points after Duncan was gone, they still had a 12-point lead in the first quarter!
Without anxious moments, this is what Popovich wants to see.
The second quarter comes up.
On the Spurs side, Parker and Dior led the team, plus Ginobili, Leonard and Split.
Over the Heat, Spoelstra had James early in the morning, plus Chanmoos, Miller, Haslem and Turiaf.
James came up and passed a good ball to Miller.
However, the Spurs defended quickly, and Miller was interrupted by Leonard when he shot.
Looking back ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Parker gave Dior a sudden, Dior's arc top three-pointer into the box.
The difference is 15 points!
No one expected that the finals turned out to be a complete one-sided match!
"The Heat ... they were almost eliminated by the Celtics!"
"To be honest, I don't know where LeBron had the courage to claim a championship. Their Eastern Conference semifinals are inextricably linked to the Pacers."
"Yeah, if it weren't for the Celtics' bad game six, the Heat wouldn't make it to the finals!"
"Can it be said that I don't want a championship?"
"Well, I'm speechless."
...
The one-sided game has made home fans laugh at James.
