Chapter 369 Chapter 388+ Chapter 9 The Basket Is Like the Sea (Two in One!)

After walking out of the parking area, the reporters outside saw him coming, and the spotlight flashed wildly.

Tang Tian has been the best defensive player since he entered the playoffs. He defended for a while and won many honors, but in fact his performance was not outstanding.

It may have something to do with the opponent being too weak, or it may have something to do with Popovich's tactical arrangements. In short, his performance is not very similar to last year.

But this does not prevent him from becoming the focus of the finals.

You must know that the scene where he hit key goals in three games last year is still vivid to the fans and reporters here.

But this year, his achievements on the defensive end are more dazzling than his offense.

So just like the reporter asked Battier before, the Heat will focus on his defense.

The reporters here only took photos but didn't interview them, and Tang Tian didn't mind at all. He pulled Olsen to pose for pictures, fearing that others would not know that they were in love.

But Olsen looked happy with a smile on his face.

Celebrities usually hide their love affairs because they are ready to change partners at any time, but Tang Tian's behavior now is to identify her.

After the posing was over, the two separated when they got on the elevator.

Olsen went to the auditorium, and Tang Tian went to the locker room.

"Come on, honey."

Olsen kissed Tang Tian, ​​and the whole elevator exuded a sour smell of love.

After getting out of the elevator, Tang Tian wiped the lipstick on the corner of his mouth, then took out the magic sound earphones from his bag, and began to listen to the battle song to find his status for the game.

In the American Airlines arena, the fans are already packed.

Although the Heat experienced a bitter battle in the Eastern Conference Finals, this actually made them look forward to the Finals even more.

The finals need to be in shape. The Spurs have rested for more than a week, but they have just finished the game and are in shape. This may be the winner of the game.

Players from both sides came to the arena to warm up one after another.

In the commentary seat, the Big Three of TNT are already ready.

Barkley and O'Neal analyzed the performance of the two sides in the previous playoffs.

Smith occasionally mentions the pink dress when he interjects.

"Come.on! Kenny, how about the one who loses the bet between me and Shaq wears that skirt and buckles you!"

Buckley couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, that's it."

O'Neill reached out and high-fived Barkley to reach an agreement, completely ignoring Smith who was stunned.

"Brother, there is no way, you are too proud, this is the price."

Barkley reached out and patted Smith on the shoulder, then laughed.

Once again, Smith succeeded as a third-party victim.

"Okay, let's analyze the two teams."

Smith quickly changed the subject.

"Ray Allen on the Heat and Don on the Spurs are the X factor for both sides, especially Don, I think he defended them against Wade, against Ray Allen, and even Chalmers, who was doing well before. , is the point that determines the outcome of the game.”

Barkley opened his mouth to analyze, and he showed his professional level.

"Yes, the 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals should be a great inspiration for the Spurs. If LeBron is left alone, the Heat will be passive."

Smith continued.

The commentary seat analyzed here, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and both sides started to play one after another.

Compared with last year, the starting lineups on both sides have changed.

For the Spurs, Parker, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, Duncan and Splitter.

The Heat have Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh and Kwame Brown.

Bosh jumped and won Split, giving the Heat the first opportunity to attack.

Attacking the frontcourt, James holds the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and there are pick-and-roll moves without the ball in the penalty area.

After the run was over, it was obvious that Tang Tian was brought to the left corner.

What Battier said in the previous interview is true, the Heat's defense against Tang Tian is well arranged.

James has developed his shooting this season, and his style of play has changed a lot from last season. Leonard dare not let it go at this moment, so he can only defend close to his body.

James accelerated and inserted directly.

Although Leonard's confrontation is much better than last year, it is still a bit difficult to single-handedly fight against James.

The Spurs' inside help defense came up, and James turned around sharply, and at the same time, he stuffed the ball into the hands of Brown under the basket.

Brown's shot off the board scored.

In one round, James has fully demonstrated his progress this season, and his pressure on the Spurs is obviously greater than last season.

Popovich was musing on the sidelines at this time.

Ray Allen is the biggest signing of the Heat this season. He is now playing as a substitute, but he will definitely play a lot of playing time.

With James' improvement and Ray Allen, this series will really be much more difficult than last year.

In the Spurs' frontcourt offense, they did not run the hammer tactic, and directly played Duncan in the low post.

Originally, Popovich didn't plan to play like this this year, but Hibbert has turned the Heat's insiders upside down. Isn't this inappropriate?

Duncan hit Bosh with his back, and hit the board after turning around continuously.

Bosh looked very hard, but the impact on Duncan was very limited.

From this, we can see the reason why the Heat's Eastern Conference finals were ravaged.

In order to match the Heat's tactics, Bosh has lost weight year after year. Although his outside shooting percentage has gone up, he has become a veritable space type, floating outside.

But the resistance at the basket has dropped much more than expected.

Wade missed a breakthrough in the frontcourt, and Splitter protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt again, and Duncan continued to play back.

This time Brown came to help defend, Duncan turned around and stuffed the ball to Splitter under the basket, Splitter dunked with both hands and scored.

The expectations of the fans on social media were right. Compared with the previous starter Blair, Splitter's finishing ability is obviously much stronger.

The Heat were not to be outdone, and Chalmers continued his excellent form since the playoffs, scoring a turnaround in the frontcourt.

4 to 4, the two teams played evenly on the field.

Duncan played Bosh again in the frontcourt, and Chalmers shrank in to help defend.

Tang Tian took the initiative to move at this time.

Parker saw the off-ball pick-and-roll after seeing it, and Duncan flicked the pass.

Tang Tian received the ball, but James had already defended him.

Obviously, after experiencing the finals of last season, Tang Tian is already the second key target after Duncan in Spoelstra's defensive system.

Leonard cut to the basket, he knew Tang Tian would pass.

However, Tang Tian didn't pass the ball. After seeing James hesitate for a moment because of Leonard, he directly chose to shoot.

He wanted to see if the shit luck from morning to now really worked.

"This ball..."

Barkley frowned in the commentary seat, this ball is a bit forced!

James' flying interference.

Although he hesitated, his physical defense ability was against the sky, and the interference he saved was still full of pressure.

Tang Tian's shot passed James' fingertips and flew straight towards the basket.

The audience at the scene stared at the ball in a daze.

Such a difficult ball, it should be...

"Shua!"

"pretty!"

With Barkley's instant emotional change, the basketball hits the net hollow!

Really okay?

Tang Tian was happy after throwing the ball.

No player can maintain a hot touch all the time, but even the most fringe role players in the NBA will have an occasional explosion.

Hand feeling has a lot to do with confrontation, ability, and choice, but there is one more thing, which is luck.

Just like how he felt when he put on the lucky bracelet when he beat the Mavericks before, his shit luck tonight really stepped on him.

The two teams had several consecutive offenses and defenses, and the scores were also rising alternately.

After playing for more than three minutes, Tang Tian circled out to catch the ball and shoot for a three-pointer.

Bosh's long arm interfered with his line of sight, and the chances were still not very good.

Popovich was a little unhappy on the sidelines at this time.

Tang Tian's choice of the ball before was not wise, and now there is a second ball, he...

"Shua!"

Tang Tian went forward against Bosh's three-pointer!

"..."

Fine.

Popovich suppressed the scolding from his mouth, turned around and walked back to the bench to sit down.

You can invest and you can be a little willful.

"Oh, Tang felt very good tonight!"

Barkley was already laughing in the commentary booth.

After playing the game for a few minutes, the strength of the two teams can basically be seen to be evenly matched.

Although the Heat can't do much with Duncan, the Spurs can't restrict James very well.

This is where the X factor comes in.

For example, Tang Tian's three-pointer outside of this tactic just now was what changed the stalemate.

The Heat's attack in the frontcourt failed to score, the Spurs turned around and counterattacked, Tang Tian's chasing three-pointer.

James' flying chasing block.

The Heat did a good job of defending Tang Tian tonight.

But Tang Tian shot first, and his eyes were full of confidence after the shot.

If Durant is in front of him at the moment, he even wants to come up with a classic advertisement.

"Using burts.bees body wash, is so confident!"

"Shua!"

The basketball hit the net again.

18 to 12!

The Spurs opened the point difference to 6 points!

Tang Tian made all three of his three-pointers in this quarter!

"It doesn't make sense."

O'Neal was a little depressed at this time. The Heat's defense was in place these few times, but Tang Tian just threw the ball in.

"Don's touch is really hot tonight."

Smith said something very pertinent at this time.

If you don't feel too much about the first ball before, you should be able to feel the two consecutive three-pointers just now.

"Stop him!"

Spoelster yelled from the sidelines.

He was really angry.

He was voted to death by Tang Tian last year, is it possible to do it again this year?

James made a sudden three-pointer in the frontcourt.

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net!

answerball!

This ball made the emotions of the fans on the scene high.

This is James at his peak, who can pass and shoot suddenly!

Tang Tian felt good, and Parker signaled the double pick-and-roll from the frontcourt to give him a running tactic.

Tang Tian came out of Leonard's pick and roll, but in addition to James who switched defenses, Wade also directly pressed him.

This is really cruel.

But at the moment when the double-team was formed, Tang Tian lobbed the ball directly to the basket.

The Heat's defense rotation has been switched to Leonard, but Splitter is empty at the basket.

This pass went straight to the best scoring opportunity.

Split scored with a two-handed dunk after receiving the ball.

Sorry, I can pass it on too.

Stable three-pointers and precise passing, this is how Tang Tian got 20+ in ten consecutive games at the start of the game.

This is also the biggest difference between him and last season.

Spoelstra stood on the sidelines in a daze.

Tang Tian, ​​who feels so hot, can pass the ball!

How does this make the Heat defend?

"Dwayne, stick to him, don't let him catch the ball!"

After Spoelstra reacted, he shouted directly at Wade.

There is only one last resort left.

Theoretically speaking, the best way to limit Tang Tian's catch-and-shoot three-point shooter is to let people follow him.

But the problem is that Tang Tian's speed is fast, and his moves are very coquettish, and most people can't keep up.

If it is not a last resort, he does not want Wade to follow, because that means that Wade's contribution on the offensive end will be greatly reduced.

Although Wade has a knee injury, his speed has only dropped from super fast to very fast, and it is still possible to keep up with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't get a chance to make a phone call for several minutes.

But the Spurs seized the point where the Heat's offensive firepower did not continue, and opened the point difference to 8 points.

The game entered the rotation time, and both sides changed players one after another.

Wade and Bosh on the Heat side rested, and Ray Allen, Haslem, and Battier substituted.

James swung to the four, and the Heat started playing a small lineup.

The Spurs also played Diaw, Green and Ginobili.

Tang Tian was still left on the court.

James made a breakthrough goal in the frontcourt, and Ray Allen made a quick three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Green was half a beat behind.

"Shua!"

Ray Allen made a three-pointer to help the Heat recover the point difference to 5 points.

There were whistles on the scene, this is the role of Ray Allen, his key ball ability is not worse than the Big Three!

"Now the Heat's X-factor comes out."

O'Neill said with a laugh at this time.

You have your Tang Tian, ​​and I have my Alan.

But O'Neill froze there before his laughter fell.

Tang Tian caught the ball in the frontcourt for a three-pointer and made a drifting shot against Ray Allen...

Hit!

The fourth three-pointer in a single quarter!

Barkley is already having fun on the sidelines.

Laugh, why don't you laugh?

Tonight is destined to be Tang Tian's night.

James attacked the basket in the frontcourt and caused Dior to beat him.

He adjusted his breath and hit two free throws.

As his shooting has improved this season, his free throw consistency has been much better than last season.

Still a 6 point difference.

In the frontcourt attack of the Spurs, Ray Allen pestered Tang Tian to prevent him from receiving the ball.

Diaw made a high pass to Green on the weak side. Green's three-pointer didn't shake Chalmers, and after barely taking the shot, he hit the front of the basket and collapsed.

However, Diaw succeeded in predicting the ball, shaking his big butt and taking off the offensive rebound.

At this time, Tang Tian just left Ray Allen and ran to the bottom corner.

Dior passed the ball well, Tang Tian caught it and shot it.

Ray Allen pounced on the interference, and the ball was well defended.

Tang Tian leaned back slightly.

This is not his good shooting style, and he is not even used to such shots.

But this angle has no choice.

The ball was released and just barely passed Ray Allen's fingertips.

The nerves of the fans at the scene tensed up.

This was Tang Tian's fifth three-point shot in a single quarter.

He has grasped the previous 4 times, this time it should not be...

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net!

What is it not to enter?

The basket is the sea!

How could you not enter!

"Holy shit!"

O'Neill had no choice but to swear at this time.

With this intensity, Tang Tian made 5 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. He stepped on shit this morning!
