The Spurs' starting lineup has made some adjustments. Center Nesterovich, power forward Duncan, small forward Michael Finley, shooting guard Stephen, point guard Tony Parker, and the Heat are center O'Neal, power forward Ha Slem, small forward Antawn Walker, shooting guard Wade, point guard Jason Williams.

Popovich put Nesterovic in the center position, but also wanted to use his height and experience to slightly restrict O'Neal, and at the same time liberate Duncan, so that Duncan can concentrate on facing Haslem. Similarly, both sides have their own advantages in the matchup.

At the same time, switching Stephen to the shooting guard position is also to allow him to better target Wade, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. If Stephen is facing Wade, he will also have a height advantage. He's such an excellent defender, if he spends his energy on defense, he'll spend less energy on the offensive end.

As for Michael Finley's disadvantage against Antoine Walker, there is no way around it. Every position can't be dominated. The Spurs don't have a player like Antoine Walker. Stephen used to defend. Although the effect is very good, but facing the more threatening Wade, Popovich had to choose to let Stephen deal with Wade, and put Antoine Walker aside.

Michael Finley's defense is not bad, but Popovich still hopes that he can spend most of his energy on offense. Faced with the atmosphere and situation inside the team, Popovich is also well aware. Under Duncan's adjustment, it returned to normal. Popovich is also very happy. In his heart, he also hopes that every player can play their best role. He still trusts veterans like Michael Finley.

There is no change on the Heat team. Unless there is an injury, this lineup is basically unchanged, and they themselves have no one to replace. Although their lineup is also very good, Kapono, Derek Anderson and a few Everyone is injured, unlike the Spurs, where all twelve players can play.

Nesterovic beat O'Neal at the jump ball, but the ball went to the Heat. After Antoine Walker got the ball, he saw that there was no one around him, so he dribbled towards the half court by himself. It was a deliberate show off, thinking that his dribbling posture with his big ass twisting and twisting seemed to be very good, but seeing Michael Finn approaching him, he passed the ball to Jason Williams.

Jason Williams is called "White Chocolate" because his passing is gorgeous and elusive, but his stability has always been questioned, so the Kings traded him for Michael Bibby. I met Hubie Brown, the head coach who often criticized him on TV. Due to his attitude, he had a very disharmonious relationship with the son of the team's assistant coach Hubie Brown (using sons as assistant coaches is everywhere in the league. Like Adelman's son), was eventually sent to Miami by the team.

However, after coming to the Miami Heat, Jason Williams met O'Neal, who had always been his biggest enemy, but O'Neal had a very good impression of him. He had seen Jason Williams explode easily when he was young. Penny Hardaway, so he has been encouraged and guided.

Under O'Neal's words and deeds, Jason Williams' style of play has changed drastically. There are fewer redundant moves that are more than gorgeous but not practical, and there are more penetrating passes. The defense is conscientious and goes all out, while staying away from marijuana and everything that is not conducive to the profession. Career stuff, and slowly, Jason Williams is back in shape.

Conciseness and efficiency have become his new hallmark. He uses the simplest movements to deliver the ball to the teammates with the best opportunities in the shortest time. Although his assists are not many, he has completed the transition from gorgeous and inefficient to practical and efficient. With a high long-range shooting percentage and a very good breakthrough player, he made the famous Gary Payton his substitute.

After receiving a pass from Antoine Walker, Jason Williams didn't let the ball stay in his hand at all, but followed the ball with his left hand in the air, and the ball changed its flight aspect and flew to Haslem Since Duncan still wanted to help defend O'Neal, the distance from Haslem was a little farther away, so Jason Williams passed it to Haslem.

After receiving the pass, Haslem immediately raised the ball high and made a posture ready to shoot. Duncan knew that it would be easy to relax the defense against O'Neal, but Haslem couldn't let it go Shooting, I only hope that Nesterovic can perform better, so he turned around and rushed towards Haslem.

Hasmus didn't stop his action because of this, but he turned his shot into a pass and lobbed the ball to O'Neill, who had already shown his fierce teeth. After receiving the ball, O'Neill immediately leaned back and only used After a while, he squeezed out the space for the shot, and then jumped up with a small hook to hook the ball into the basket.

After scoring the goal, O'Neill took an easy step on the court, and now he rarely shows everyone his signature bully step, because in his heart, he feels that he is no longer a fierce and incompetent man. Compared with the Tyrannosaurus rex, his body has long been overwhelmed by the years. The pressure brought by the huge weight to the lower limbs is unimaginable for ordinary people, not to mention that he still has to run and jump, so his current pace is only to the next level. Everyone has proved that I can easily beat my opponents, and I am not old yet.

Popovich yelled loudly at Nesterovic off the court, and made a gesture of going up with his hands. He saw the ball just now clearly, and Nesterovic didn't use all he had at all. With so much strength, he retreated after just coping with it, which made Popovich very angry.

I also communicated with him before the game, and he also promised himself that he would definitely work hard. Unexpectedly, on the court, he still worked so hard. How could Popovich bear it? It wasn’t just the game. At the beginning, it was the first round, and Popovich wanted to replace Nesterovic.

Nesterovic lowered his head and ran on the field without any reaction. This time he didn't deliberately disobey the coach's instructions, but he was involuntarily timid and afraid to confront O'Neill. That’s why he reacted naturally. In fact, when Popovich communicated with him, he still wanted to play well, live up to the trust of the head coach in himself, and at the same time strive for another one for himself. Championship ring.

So when Popovich yelled at him, although he didn't have any reaction, he clenched his fists and made up his mind that when he faced O'Neal again later, he must do his best to express himself.

After Tony Parker dribbled the ball for half the court, he handed it directly to Duncan who was raised to the free throw line. Under Haslem's entanglement, Duncan tried a few times and found that Haslem's feet were very solid. With his height, footsteps and skills, it is easy to break through, but there is still O'Neal waiting there. Duncan didn't want to face O'Neal so soon, so he took a step in and hit the ball out again. Re-handed to Tony Parker.

Tony Parker saw that Duncan didn't intend to play hard, so he followed the team's tactics, controlled the ball and ran towards Duncan, and used Duncan's pick-and-roll to block Jason Williams next to him, but Haslem's reaction It was also very fast, and immediately blocked Tony Parker.

Tony Parker’s long-range shot has no crosshairs, throwing shots need a certain amount of space, and the breakthrough lacks change. Facing Haslem, he does not have a good way to deal with it, and other teammates have no good opportunities, so they have to pass the ball back Duncan, at this time Hasle's mother and Jason Williams have switched positions, and Duncan's chances are not very good.

Duncan dribbled the ball to the other side in order to cooperate with Michael Finley. To defend Michael Finley and Stephen, the Heat switched positions. Michael Finley was facing Wade, and Wade was entangled desperately. Watching Michael Finley, denying Michael Finley the opportunity to cooperate with Duncan.

At this time, Duncan raised the ball over his head and turned his back to the basket. It seemed that he either passed the ball to Michael Finley or Tony Parker on the other side. Who knew he suddenly backhanded and threw the ball In the direction of the other bottom corner of the court.

That position happened to be Stephen's position. Stephen just used a quick back run to get rid of Antoine Walker's defense. Duncan, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, saw this opportunity and immediately passed the ball over. is just right.

After Stephen received the ball, he didn't need to dribble at all. This is the most suitable offensive method for Stephen. Stephen immediately took a big step, one step, two steps, two steps down, and he reached the front of the three-second zone. Stephen didn't stop. He didn't even consider that a mountainous figure was rushing towards him, blocking him.

All he had to do was to forcefully land on the ground, and his body was immediately in mid-air. It looked a little farther away from the basket, as if he had jumped a little earlier, but Stephen continued to rise and flew towards the basket. It's like installing a thruster.

O'Neal was guarding Duncan on the other side. He didn't see who Duncan passed the ball to, so he turned around and rushed over as Duncan passed the ball. Based on his understanding of Duncan, since Duncan passed the ball like this, There must be someone here. Sure enough, Stephen dared to dunk on the Heat's basket on the first ball in the game. How could O'Neal let him do what he wanted? He immediately jumped up, waved his big hand in the air, and slammed Stephen Smash it over.

O'Neal's take-off block is very accurate, and his defensive ability is not bad, but his offensive ability is too strong to cover up his defense. When he saw that his hand was about to cover the ball, Stephen suddenly retracted his hand, and then bypassed the ball. O'Neal's hand dunked the ball into the basket again, and then Stephen was hit by O'Neal with his palm and flew directly out, followed by the referee's whistle.
