Chapter 265 Assists Are King

In this game, the Heat's lineup is point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Wade, small forward James Posey, power forward Haslem, center O'Neal, Gary Payton and James Posey are all For the first time since the start of the finals, he appeared in the starting lineup.

Gary Payton performed very well in the last game, and it is normal to enter the starting lineup in this game. After all, he and Jason Williams played about the same amount of time, and neither of them has enough physical strength to play full time. field, so a rotation must be carried out. As for who comes first, there is no difference.

Since Gary Payton is in good shape now, Pat Riley has no reason not to let him start, and James Posey's start is more logical. Antoine Walker's state in the last two games is not very good, and more often As a substitute for power forward Haslem, it is normal for James Posey to start instead of him.

James Posey can not only defend Stephen, but also he is better than Antoine Walker on the offensive end. Antoine Walker loves to shoot three-pointers, but his shooting percentage is very poor. Gary Payton also has a hobby of shooting three-pointers, but Gary Payton was able to suppress his shot desire, knowing when to shoot and when not to shoot.

The Spurs have also made adjustments. Duncan is paired with Oberto, who is not tall enough but has a tougher defense. Duncan's position remains unchanged, Stephen's position remains unchanged, and Michael Finley is replaced by Bruce Bow. Wen, then Tony Parker.

This lineup looks like a defensive lineup at first glance. Seeing the Spurs put up such a lineup, the Heat didn't react much. David Stern, who was on the scene, frowned, complaining in his heart that this ** It's just hopeless. Could it be that you can't let go of the defense and compete with the Heat for defense? This is your home court again.

He came here with the championship trophy, but he was ready to award it directly if the Heat win this game. Although the championship trophy is awarded in this way every year, people like David Stern The action still made the Spurs very uncomfortable, not to mention that he also ordered the staff of the Spurs to cooperate with them in the drill of the championship awarding ceremony in advance.

Although he said nicely, no matter who wins the championship, the ceremony will always be held here, and it is normal to rehearse it in advance, but everyone knows that if the Spurs want to win the championship, they must It is enough to win at home, but the Heat only need to win the game tonight to win the championship.

Many expert TV commentators are also laughing at Vitch. What they are laughing at is that Vitch is too timid. Putting up such a lineup is like the iron barrel formation in football. The behavior of the weak only, does the Spurs, as the defending champions, not even have the confidence.

Even the fans of the Spurs felt that their home team put up such a lineup, a little afraid of the opponent, and lost the demeanor of the championship team, but after all, they have become accustomed to Vitch's unconventional playing cards And the style of doing whatever it takes to win, there is no reaction, still shouting at the top of his voice from the beginning of the game, cheering for his home team.

The game has just started. Although Pat Riley has long reminded the players not to have the idea of ​​completing the battle, the players still want to get the championship trophy as soon as possible, especially when they can already see the championship trophy. , this mood is even more urgent, so the Heat's offense is very violent.

Especially Shaquille O'Neal, after changing the defensive opponent, although Oberto played tougher, but O'Neal relied on his advantages in height and strength to carry Oberto hard all the way, pushed Oberto to the basket, and then used He pressed Oberto to score the ball.

Once, twice, three times, it was like this for three consecutive attacks. The last time Oberto couldn't bear the foul, O'Neal made the free throw with a bad smile on his face. Both parties pretended to be surprised.

Oberto's psychological quality is very good. He is worthy of being a player who has experienced the World Series. After being provoked like this, he still looks calm. empty.

Although O'Neill's foot was still standing firmly, he was surprised in his mind, and then Oberto quickly pushed back. When O'Neal tried to exert force again, Oberto had already firmly resisted him, and O'Neill had to throw the ball Passed to Gary Payton, and he quickly moved out of the three-second zone.

At this time, the score of the two sides was [-]-[-]. The home team was behind the visiting team. The Spurs only scored two points with a mid-range shot from Duncan in three offenses. The other two offenses all missed. The defensive enthusiasm is also very high, and the five players on the field are all at the top or close to the top level in defense.

In terms of investment in the game, the Spurs are not as good as them, which is why the current situation is caused. After Gary Payton received the ball, Tony Parker hurried up to pester him. Although he knew it, Gary Payton lightly leaned on him and lost His own defensive position was easily scored by Gary Payton.

When Tony Parker passed by Stephen with his head buried, Stephen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. Tony Parker saw that it was Stephen, and showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. Although he knew that Stephen had good intentions and comforted himself, he still couldn't Take the consolation of a rookie player, let alone a player who was far out of his league at the start of the season.

Stephen didn't think much about it, he ran back to his own half after shooting himself, and he touched the ball only once in the game, James Posey defended him very tightly, no matter where he was, he would die He is tightly wrapped around him, and once he is close to the basket, both O'Neal and Haslem will turn their attention to themselves.

Stephen realized that his chances were not very good, so he quickly passed the ball. When others saw him being defended like this, they stopped passing the ball to him. Why didn't it make Stephen depressed if he didn't catch it.

So after running back, Stephen ran at his fastest speed, and quickly threw James Posey away. After seeing this, Wade hurriedly gave up Bruce Bowen, his defensive target, and ran over to help Defense Stephen, and James Posey stood in front of Bruce Bowen.

Wade's footsteps can catch up with Stephen, but his height and strength are not enough. His strength lies in explosive power. Pure strength is not as good as Stephen's against him. Seeing him defending himself, Stephen immediately stretched out his hand to pass the ball , Forcibly squeezed to the position under the basket, when seeing O'Neal and Wade attacking one after the other, Stephen made a fake shot, and then passed the ball to Oberto.

No one will miss such an opportunity. Stephen can easily get the data of an assist, and he is not afraid of double-teaming Stephen. As long as he is not forced to the corner, he can easily find the position of his teammates. Although the number of assists per second is not ranked in the league, if all the point guards are removed, only a few people can do it.

Eight to four, the Spurs were still behind four times, and the Heat started to organize the offense again. This time, Haslem and Gary Payton picked and rolled, but after the pick and roll, Gary Payton neither made a shot nor passed the ball to Harbin. Slem, but passed the ball to the long-awaited O'Neal at the basket.

After O'Neal got the ball, just as he was about to make a shot, the ball was almost swept away by Stephen, who jumped in the air, and quickly took his hand back. Passed the ball again.

James Posey had just received the ball and hadn't made a shot yet. Stephen had already stood in front of him. Although he was very surprised by Stephen's moving speed, James Posey was still ready to make a shot. Unfortunately, his shot was seriously disturbed by Stephen. Wide, missed the basket at all, and when Haslem got the ball, the 24-second bell rang.

After the Spurs served, the ball first came into Duncan's hands. Duncan turned around and suddenly passed the ball to Bruce Bowen. In defending Bruce Bowen, Wade showed a slight negligence and was caught. But Bruce Bowen He missed a three-pointer, but fortunately, when Stephen slipped past the basket, he took off the rebound.

At the same time as taking off the rebound, Stephen rolled his hands in the air without waiting for it to land, and directly kicked the ball back. It looked like an alley-oop, but Bruce Bowen's pass seemed a bit awkward, and Stephen's backhand dunk is rarely seen in the alley-oop, and it is usually dunked facing the basket.

Eight to six, the flames of the Heat team are not as high as before. This time it is O'Neal again. He is indeed the most sure player in the Heat team's offense. Position, although he made a foul, he still failed to prevent O'Neal from scoring. Fortunately, O'Neal's free throw also missed this time.

After O'Neal successfully scored, the Spurs' offense also succeeded. This time it was still Stephen's strong attack. James Posey couldn't handle it. Wade came to help, and Stephen passed the ball directly to Bruce Bowen. Bruce Bowen did the same Another three-pointer from the position, this time Bruce Bowen finally did not fail, and Stephen earned another foul.

Stephen only scored four points in the first quarter, but sent out five assists, helping the team lead by three points 27 to 24. In the first quarter, all five of the Spurs scored. Toto is the least of the two, both with four points.

In the second quarter, Stephen remained on the court, and the Heat, as before, replaced O'Neal and Gary Payton with Mourning and Jason Williams. Nobili and Van Exel formed an equally strong offensive lineup, and the two sides launched a hearty offensive battle.
