basketball never sleeps

Chapter 181 Don't Listen!

Back in the third quarter, the Spurs replaced Nazr with Nesterovic, gave up the fast break to a certain extent, and further strengthened the defense.

Popovich also considered continuing to play fast breaks to chase points, but after the Heat took the lead in the first half, they did a good rotation.

Gambling three points is a good idea to solve the problem, but this way is considered deadly by the Heat.

During the regular season, many teams found that the heat was just behind the front, so they would develop technology and bet on three-pointers. Over time, the Heat became particularly sensitive to defensive three-pointers.

It's okay to catch the ball in an unfixed position like Reggie Miller's three-pointer. It is difficult to find a particularly good shooting opportunity for the Heat with regular fixed-point three-pointers.

However, there is no unparalleled road, and their efficiency in positional warfare cannot be compared, but they can still "cut sharks".

Don't say that the routines have been used badly, but O'Pang's free throw percentage in this year's playoffs is right there. In the first three rounds, he only made 45% of his free throw percentages, compared to his 55% field goal percentage.

On the Heat's side, Ao Pang, who didn't show much in the first half, slapped his chest loudly in the locker room during the intermission.

In the past few years, he has realized that he is getting older, and Ao Pang has always adhered to the strategy of keeping his hands in the regular season and showing off in the playoffs.

But I don't want the successive injuries in this year's playoffs to hinder his performance, dragging it to the finals again and again.

Some time ago, there have been many arguments that O'Pang is no longer the strongest insider in the NBA.

Today he will let the world prove once again who is the world's number one center forward!

Da Fan, who has always had no sense of presence, also rarely played the secondary role, and decided to set the tone for the second half to focus on the inside.

This is also normal. The more critical the game is, the more conservative the decision-making will be.

As the saying goes, a good fighter has no great achievements.

Translated into vernacular: Steady meat output with the wind, gambling output against the wind.

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

Sure enough, after Ao Pang excitedly ate Nesterovic who had just played, he entered the daily "basketball training class" and began to practice free throws.

Even before Mo Wen crossed over, the Spurs still had a reserve of 6 inside players, regardless of whether they were good or not, there must be one, so it doesn't matter if there is another one in the matter of killing the shark. The fat free throw percentage does not support them to cut.

Jingle bells, jingle bells~
Obviously, Oban maintained a level and stable performance, contributing a performance that extremely damaged the image of the NBA.

Stern, who watched O'Pang make free throws in the office, wanted to put himself on a ventilator.

This game is not only broadcast live in the United States, but also has a lot of international broadcasts.

Both Spurs and Heat have a lot of international players, China, France, Slovenia, Argentina...

Stern had been fantasizing about a bumper harvest in NBA internationalization this year.

How could this be done with iron? It was clearly a slap in the face of Mr. President!

In the third quarter, O'Neal scored 2 points with only 10 shots in extreme anger... If you ignore that he still has 15 free throws, it can be called quite explosive.

"Father's pissed off, don't make free throws anymore, pass the ball to Uncle Mo!"

Sharif couldn't stand watching on the sidelines anymore, curled his hands into horns, and shouted at his father on the court.

Ao Pang didn't break the defense because of the audience's laughter at the beginning and the disappointed sigh later, but was broken by his son's voice.

Afterwards, Ao Pang didn't do anything else after leaving the field, and ran to the little Sharif to perform a "father's kindness and son's filial piety" in public.

Under the leadership of O'Pang, the Heat were recovered by 3 points in the third quarter.

Why did the Spurs only recover 3 points?
Because the Spurs also have undercover agents!

Lao Dengtou's free throws today are only a little better than O'Pang's. He made 6 of 3 free throws, while Parker showed the characteristics of O'Neal from the outside line. He made 7 of 3 free throws. Just greet him with his arm.

66% of Westbrook's free throws can be chased by fans. That's Parker they haven't seen in this series.

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

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

Mo Wen and Wade didn't look for Ao Pang again, they used Ao Pang as a restraint, and took over the team's offense from inside to outside.

Ginobili, who was struggling to fight back, wanted to stand up as a savior, and Popovich also boldly put Robert Horry on him, wanting to play Horry's "Mr. Key" aura.

Ginobili showed the strength of a superstar by relying on his unobtrusive but decisive breakthrough and stable shooting, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.

Horry also made 2 three-pointers with the help of a god, plus an air cut, scored 8 points.

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

On the scene, the two sides "exchanged blood" and fought back and forth, but the damage of the Heat will always be higher.

After 7 minutes in the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two sides reached double digits, and they were never brought closer.

Under Mo Wen's targeting, Uncle Bao was beaten by Mo Wen, scolded by Popovich, and warned by the referee for fouls. These days were quite impressive.

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

Seeing that the game was coming to an end, Mourning also relaxed on the back of the chair and enjoyed watching the game.

"Tch, you bastard, are you ashamed to say it? You don't feel ashamed when you have to rely on young people to experience the feeling of the finals." Leitner, who was chewing gum, sneered beside him.

"Bastard? You didn't play for a minute, and someone who didn't contribute at all has the face to criticize me? At least I have a clear conscience when I get the ring back. What about you, ha ha." Mourning laughed and scolded unceremoniously.

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

"Fake squid, you son of a bitch, I'll kill you!" Mourning gritted his teeth and scratched together with Leitner unbearably.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the Spurs gradually walked into darkness amid suffocation.

In the last minute, the two teams replaced the full substitute lineup tacitly, announcing the official end of the game.

Heat 106:95 Spurs.

11 points narrowly won.

When the whistle was over, the spectators on the sidelines were even happier than the players on the field. Many white fans also acted like reds because of their excitement.

球员方面，莫闻全场出战34分钟，17投9中，三分8中4，罚球5中5，砍下27分12助攻6篮板2抢断1盖帽；

奥尼尔出战33分钟，14投8中，罚球21中9，拿到25分10篮板2助攻2盖帽；

韦德今天发挥也不俗，上场36分钟，18投10中，三分3中1，罚球7中6，拿到27分7篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽。

What is even more desperate than the 79 points scored by the Big Three is that they still maintain a reasonable rotation time.

No other Heat player was in double figures, but everyone also had a good performance. In the case of not many free throws, they scored the remaining 26 points on 27 shots.

而马刺那边，上场了42分钟的邓肯砍下了24分14篮板3助攻3盖帽，当他离场时人们都能看得出来他的疲惫。

It was a double torment from the spirit and the body.

Just finished the tiebreaker with the Suns of the marathon team, and today's game is close to full. Like a stone like a Buddha, he has contributed everything he has, but the process of failure is so desperate.

Ginobili supported the Spurs' outside business. He made 19 of 10 shots, 6 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. The core of the outside line.

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

帕克成了GDP组合中最让人失望的那一个，14投仅4中，罚球10中5，三分3中1，只得14分4助攻2篮板。

However, although Parker was disappointing, Uncle Bao was the most criticized.

Popovich gave Bao Sanshu 30 minutes of playing time. Not only did he fail to defend the Heat's outside double stars, but he also only surrendered 4 of 1 shots and 3 points on the offensive end.

Barkley patted his stomach in TNT's commentary room, and said boldly—"I can do it if I do."

"Although only one game was played, 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 didn't work."

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

"As for the Heat, I have nothing to say. At least in my eyes, they really don't have any shortcomings. If there are any, it's probably O'Neal's free throw. Heck, I mean, as long as they play their normal level, it's now The best team in the league."

Kenny Smith concluded after the game.

In the post-match interview session, Popovich, who lost the ball, started the big whining mode.

There was a lot of complaints around all aspects of the game, from the unlimited interference of fans and cheerleaders on the sidelines, to the double-standard tendency of the referees, to the sloppy three-pointers of the Heat.

"Wait, did you mention the three-pointer?" A reporter on the sidelines caught the point.

"Yeah, that damn three-pointer should be canceled. Tim (Duncan) might have to work hard for a whole quarter against Shaq in the paint. He's trying to score three goals to get six points, and the stinky Heat's The kid only needs to pretend to be cool outside the dribble, and then shoot two nonsense three-pointers to wipe out Tim's hard work for a whole quarter, which is so unfair!"

"But today, the Spurs shot one more three-pointer than the Heat?" The reporter asked with a puzzled face while raising the copy of the technical statistics sheet in his hand.

"...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, Da Fan, who is full of spring, is 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 successful The coach, you don’t need to talk too much, you just need to remind at the right time, and the players will know what to do.”

"The Heat's tactics? It can also be done in three sentences, listen-'Around this Dwyane attack!' 'Around Shaq's defense!' 'Listen to Mo De!'"

"I know what you guys think of me in private, but that's the reality. There is a saying that I used to scoff at, but now I think it makes sense—luck is also a part of strength, hahaha!"

"After watching me, everyone will understand that the coach really doesn't need to be so tired, because no matter how hard we try, it still depends on the execution of the players. When your players are strong enough, the role of the coach will definitely be weakened. If When the game is going to be difficult, I will definitely let you see my coaching ability, but unfortunately, that situation is too rare for the Heat now."

Da Fan also tried to pretend to be a famous coach, but he found that few people believed 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 importer with nothing in his stomach, right?
Comments from netizens: The Heat are looking for a head coach with a low salary @奥尼尔的grandma, @胡蒙宝宝, @弗尼（火热热象）, @巴克利, @金沙···
In the major basketball forums on the Internet, the Heat's column was full of jubilation, but the columns of other teams were relatively silent. Even the draft posts that were highly discussed at this time in previous years were not popular this year.

Everyone is discussing when the Heat will disband.

Time seems to be rewinding to the summer of the first championship of the Lakers dynasty. No matter how strong the Heat are now, it’s okay. What really makes everyone fear and uncomfortable is next year. The same, that is to say, even if the Heat make random reinforcements or even do not reinforce them in the summer, they will still be able to maintain their current strong competitiveness next year.

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

···
In G2 of the finals, the American Airlines Arena became the hottest attraction in Miami.

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

And I don't know how many times the tickets have been doubled. It is said that ordinary tickets for the stands on the second floor have sold for hundreds of dollars, and the front row seats in the player's family area are even counted by W.

And the Heat did not disappoint the fans who bought tickets at a high price.

After G2 started, the Heat have always maintained the lead and suppressed.

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

It played a certain effect, but in the same way, after Horry played, the Spurs' weak inside became the focus of the Heat's attack.

Duncan is very versatile, but Horry's space-type fourth position can't play a role in protecting the frame at all. His competition with O'Fang means that the Spurs' inside line is also in a state of emptying.

Wade had his best first half of the playoffs this year, scoring 20 points in 24 minutes.

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

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

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

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

The cruelest thing is that Ginobili wasted effort, and Mo Wen's efficiency is still very high. Ginobili's strength and balance are good, but outside the three-point line, he doesn't have much room to play.Moreover, Bowen had previously arranged the defensive tasks of outside shooters, so he did not have much experience in this area.

The Argentine was also trying to use his acting skills to deceive Whistle. Mo Wen simply made a fake show and helped him realize his dream of being an actor.

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

After finding out that the Spurs still wanted to hack the shark to disgust him, O'Pang consciously reduced his desire to shoot and instead focused on the defensive end.

In the first half, I gave Lao Dengtou 2 big hats. At first, Lao Dengtou just wanted to help his teammates to open up and didn't go inside. Deng headed out of the space under the basket.

整场下来上场35分钟的奥胖拿到了16个篮板6个盖帽1个抢断，将上场效率还颇高的老邓头防的19中8，靠着罚球才拿到20分，还搭上了6个失误。

韦德拿下了全场最高分30分，还有7个篮板5个助攻2个抢断，但今天MVP还是给到了拿下18分13助攻10篮板4抢断的莫闻。

As the 15th player in history to achieve a triple-double in the finals, Mo Wen's status as magician and Bird's successor has been brought up again.

As for a certain player who used the Magic Bird as a template, no one is talking about it now.

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

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

The Heat 108:99 the Spurs, and once again won the victory steadily.

Before Catherine (Schwarzenegger) came to Miami, Mo Wen secretly rewarded himself with a big sister Ruth, but unfortunately, his biggest wish was not fulfilled.

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

Popovich pulled the hot man aside again, seeing that he was not in a good mood, he roared softly:

"We need your power blues, you have one more chance, and we have one more chance, do you really want to see everyone play it out?"

　I'm sorry, because my body went to bed late... I took a day off yesterday
