After Antoine Walker was stimulated, he shot two more mindless three-pointers. After being pulled over by Gary Payton and taught him a lesson, he was sober. When he came back, he looked at Stephen and wanted to do something, but think about Gary Payton just now. Speaking of which, I know that this guy in front of me is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary rookie. He is shrewd and doesn’t suffer from his mouth or hands. When he does it, he really dares to do it. Antoine Walker is just a wretched guy But he was not very courageous, so he only dared to stare at Stephen, and did not dare to make too many moves.

Stephen originally wanted to have a fight with the opponent, but who knew that the opponent would wither first, so Stephen immediately became arrogant, and continuously used this move to deal with Antoine Walker, using his body less than two meters to carry it The tall and fat chubby backed up again and again, and Antoine Walker immediately understood that Gary Payton’s lesson was indeed for his own sake. It is impossible to smash the elbow tip on the chest of the person, the person who is smashed will feel extremely uncomfortable.

Antoine was suppressed by Stephen, Gary Payton was not good at long-range shooting, and only Kapono was left alone, and Wade played for more than a quarter, and he did not have the momentum of the crazy breakthrough at the beginning. Moreover, Ginobili's defense has an obvious Argentine color. As long as he exerts a lot of force, Ginobili will fall to the ground, and then he fouls with the ball.

Slowly, the Spurs overtook the score. In this overtake battle, in addition to the three-pointer at the beginning, Stephen also contributed three layups, a tip-up, assisted Brent Barry with a three-pointer, and grabbed a three-pointer. He scored two rebounds and stole Antoine Walker once. His performance was very remarkable. Even Pat Riley watched it and nodded secretly for Stephen's performance. If he had known better, he would have been selected. The Heat held the first round. With the 29th pick, he chose a big player from the University of Kansas, Wayne Simien. As a result, the kid's performance was too unsatisfactory, not to mention the problem of height. Can be a meat shield, but he is still a few centimeters short of height, and he is always injured. If only he had chosen this guy at that time.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world. Although Pat Riley is a little coveted by Stephen, he also knows that it is not easy to grab the baby from the Spurs, so he still thinks about how to deal with this guy. What's the matter? Let's talk about it later .

The Spurs' bench lineup and his style of play really gave Pat Riley a bit of a headache. When Popovich learned this, and he had only been out of the head coach for a few years, Popovich actually had A trace of a master's demeanor, it turns out that this is only found in a few people.

Pat Riley thought over and over again. With his own team lineup, if he wanted to deal with such a powerful substitute lineup, he had to use the main lineup to defend with all his strength. But the Spurs' main lineup is not weak. You can't change the main force against the substitute, and then use the substitute against the main force, it's still impossible to deal with it.

When it was halftime, Pat Riley didn't even go to the locker room, and was still sitting outside. How to deal with the Spurs' personnel rotation? There are O'Neal, Mourning, and Haslem, and Wade, Payton, and Posey on the outside. You must have the inside, you must have the outside, you must attack and defend, and you must defend and attack. Although the thickness of the lineup is slightly insufficient, but As long as they can reach the finals, with the experience of these players, it is not a problem to support seven games, but what I didn't expect was that the Spurs' lineup was more terrifying than I imagined.

In particular, Popovich took Ginobili from the main lineup and put him on the bench. Lee is not only a sharp knife in offense, but also a perfect organizer. He is even better than Wade in organizing the team.

Moreover, the Spurs' bench lineup plays this fast-break style of play. How can these old arms and legs of the Heat team keep up? , Pat Riley has worked so hard to get it up, so Pat Riley doesn't want to waste it in the hands of Big Van Gundy.

Pat Riley was thinking hard here, so Popovich was not idle. After Stephen left the field, he secretly told Popovich what he had collected. Popovich attached great importance to this news. Although it was expected that this would happen, what Stephen said was more accurate. After thinking about the consequences, Popovich saw Stephen standing in front of him, asking for credit, and couldn't help but groan. He scolded Stephen: "You kid doesn't play well on the court, why bother with these nosy things, go back to the locker room."

After scolding Stephen away, Popovich was surprised to see Stephen's resigned look. Stephen matured too quickly. It didn't look like his rookie season at all. Parker played a few games at that time. He just matured, and Popovich couldn't remember it, but Stephen was so mature in his rookie season. Whether Popovich was an assistant coach or a head coach, only Duncan was like this among the players he met.

But even if Duncan is mature, he didn't come to the draft until he graduated from his senior year. What's the matter with this kid? Popovich vaguely feels that he has something to do with Robert Horry and Van Exel. Stephen I always hang out with a few of them, no wonder I look like an old fritter.

When Popovich entered the locker room and saw Stephen and Robert Horry together, they didn't know what they were muttering, and told Stephen that this news should be kept secret for the time being, and don't speak casually to the outside, especially the media. , and then began to arrange tactics.

After Popovich confirmed that Pat Riley was still sitting on the sidelines and did not go to the locker room, he was relieved to know that he would not intervene in this game. Just relying on the fat man of Van Gundy to force out all my backhands , You think too highly of that guy.

Popovich thought that Van Gundy would definitely replace Wade to rest, because Wade's impact was greatly reduced in the second half of the second quarter, but the Heat didn't have any good substitutes, and it is estimated that Kabo Nuo switched to shooting guard, moved Walker to small forward, brought Haslem back up, used Haslem's fierce rushing, aggressive defense to disrupt the scoring momentum of the Spurs' bench, except for this, Big Van Gundy has no more tricks to use.

After Popovich made targeted adjustments, at the beginning of the second half, the Heat made the expected changes, and the Spurs players all expressed admiration, surprise, puzzlement, and suspicion to Popovich. Gaze, although Popovich's face is not obvious, but his heart is full of pride and pride.

Seeing the changes in the Spurs, Van Gundy was dumbfounded. The Spurs put on a very conventional lineup, center Muhammad, power forward Robert Horry, small forward Stephen, shooting guard Ginobili, point guard Van Exel you.

This kind of lineup is not just to restrain the Heat's lineup, but to say that this lineup makes the Heat's adjustment meaningless. The Heat's substitute lineup is not as good as the Spurs. The coach did not guess all the predictions, and it was a big blow to the players. On the contrary, the Spurs players were full of confidence. In this way, when the two sides met in the same state, it goes without saying who would win. It only took 3 In minutes, Van Gundy was forced to call a timeout.

Because in this short 3 minutes, the Heat were beaten by the Spurs with a score of 3 to [-]. Let the opponent score and let the opponent score only two points. This is a very serious problem. But Van Gundy looked all over the bench and couldn't find a player who could go up to attack. Wade only rested for [-] minutes in the whole game, so he couldn't be allowed to go up now.

"Change the main force, except for Wade, let them strengthen their defense, regardless of the scoring problem." Pat Riley couldn't stand it anymore, and Van Gundy was like this. Once something unexpected happened, he would be at a loss. By the time he thinks of a solution, it will be too late. Although little Van Gundy is slow to react on this point, little Van Gundy understands a truth. Hard work can make up for one's weakness. I can't help but write it down on a small piece of paper, and take a look at what happens, and I have everything, so although Van Gundy Jr. is hard as a coach, at least he can ensure that the team's record is stable, there will be no big ups and downs, and there will be no big changes in the game. This panic happens.

After replacing the main lineup, the Heat first strengthened their defense. After all, the Spurs' bench lineup was not as strong as others. The Heat's main lineup would rather not score by itself than the Spurs. The scoring was stagnated, but slowly, the difference between the two sides began to be narrowed.

Popovich glanced at Pat Riley, and at a glance, he knew it was this guy's handwriting. Van Gundy definitely didn't have such a quick reaction and the courage to break the boat, so Popovich also started to change into the main lineup. Played a dull defensive battle.

"The game started to enter the part I dislike the most. The pace is slow, like old men and old ladies are playing, and the scene is boring, like watching a sad drama. It's really boring." A famous commentary on TNT TV broadcasting the game Sir Buckley yawned boredly while sitting on the rebroadcaster. While the camera was not looking at him, he put his huge bald head on the table to rest for a while, but he didn't know that there was another camera facing them , and the director has secretly switched him to it.

"No, I think this is when the two teams have entered a normal stage. It can be said that this will be a preview of the future finals." Although his old partner Kenny Smith didn't know that there was a camera facing them, he still couldn't turn his eyes away. Watching the game calmly, he casually refuted Barkley.

"Don't be kidding, I believe that the Spurs can enter the finals. With the current Heat, there is no way to enter the finals. Pat Riley will change the head coach first." Barkley felt something was wrong, as if It was like many people were looking at themselves, they lifted it up but found nothing, and casually said to Kenny Smith.
