Chapter 191
Heat attack.

Xue Liancheng served to Chalmers, then paced outside to observe the situation.

Chalmers' breakthrough was still very reckless. After adjusting the direction and changing direction, he rushed in with an acceleration.

this time.

Xue Liancheng also moved, quickly bypassed Gasol, and suddenly ran back and went inside.

at this time.

Chalmers' route was blocked, and when he saw Xue Liancheng coming in, he naturally passed the ball.

If Chalmers broke through for the first time, the power to tear the line of defense was not enough.

Then Xue Liancheng's second breakthrough attracted too much defensive attention.

Ginobili immediately came to surround, Danny Green also put up a defense, and Leonard was chasing behind.

As far as this defensive treatment is concerned, it is really not something ordinary people can afford.

But Xue Liancheng is not an ordinary player. Not only did he not back down, he even rushed forward against Ginobili.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xue Liancheng, just when everyone thought he was going to eat Ginobili raw or something.

He suddenly raised his hand again.

The ball flew into the air.

Wait for everyone to react.

Ibaka has already flew up and ran directly to the frame.

Clang.

Alley-oop dunk.

2 points to hand.

The Heat finally stabilized the situation.

In this round, the Heat's mobility and speed advantages came out.

After Chalmers broke through and tore the line of defense, it was passed to Xue Liancheng to tear the line of defense for the second time.

Duncan couldn't keep up. After Ibaka cut in, he directly received a pass from Xue Liancheng.

Successful dunk.

This is a tactic the Heat have used all the time, and it has always worked.

but.

In the past, the person who executed the termination was more likely to be Uncle Wadeway.

The old man Popovich on the sidelines was expressionless and did not express anything. It seemed to him that this was a normal round of offense.

Look back.

After Parker went around, he gave it to Leonard.

Neither is the middle distance.

Tucker protected the rebound.

Find Xue Liancheng immediately.

The Spurs' siege was formed immediately.

Xue Liancheng sent the ball to Chalmers who was running ahead, but he ran without the ball.

The Heat are very fast, and the Spurs are not too slow to retreat.

But Duncan is old after all, and his tonnage and height are also there. How can he outrun Ibaka.

When the two sides came to the frontcourt, Duncan was obviously two positions behind.

The moment Xue Liancheng entered the three-point line, he quickly called to Chalmers who was about to hit the basket, "Mario..."

Chalmers was still awake and returned the ball immediately.

Xue Liancheng didn't pause at all, and directly handed the ball to Ibaka who rushed to the three-point line.

There was nothing in front of the latter, and there was almost no hesitation.

Catch the ball and rush to the three-point line, and shoot directly.

Swish!
The crisp and pleasant voice is extremely pleasant.

Three points again.

Ibaka scored 5 points in a row.

The point difference was pulled back to 14 points at once.

The old Popovich on the sidelines didn't panic at all. He sat there and drank water leisurely.

Next.

Duncan sits and plays low singles.

But the Heat's little man was fast enough, and immediately went to harass him. After Duncan passed the ball, he ran back immediately.

This kind of auxiliary defense and defense conversion is very fast, and it does not leave a chance for the Spurs at all.

Finally passed to Danny Green who cut.

The latter confronted PJ-Tucker in the air.

still none.

Ibaka protects the rebound.

He also found Xue Liancheng immediately.

The Heat pushed forward like a tidal wave.

Xue Liancheng chose to pass to Batum this time.

The two walked side by side, one on the left and one on the right, and Chalmers in front was still rushing.

This forms a tripod.

Batum pushed forward and passed to Chalmers, and Chalmers returned to Xue Liancheng.

After Xue Liancheng received the ball, instead of rushing towards the basket, he withdrew towards the weak side.

Chalmers also quickly withdrew to the bottom line on the other side.

Only Batum rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Xue Liancheng looked at the right time, and then gave it to Ibaka who rushed over.

Ginobili, who was chasing Batum to defend, obviously paused.

But this one.

Ibaka has already hoisted the ball to the basket.

After Batum received the ball, he picked the basket without any hindrance.

16 points difference.

And it's only been less than 2 minutes since the timeout just now. This is just a large part of the Spurs' own time. Simply counting the Heat's offensive time, the three rounds are only about 40 seconds.

The tempo of the Heat is too fast.

Before the Spurs could react, a round of offense was over.

Duncan could only be exhausted, his ability to protect the frame was directly put on hold, and he didn't even have a chance to sit under the basket.

This time.

Popovich's face on the sidelines obviously became ugly.

He never expected that this seemingly suicidal five small lineup would have such a strong offensive rhythm.

But Popovich is stubborn and still has no plans to call a timeout.

In the world he knows, he always believes that defense can win the game.

Those five golden championship trophies are the biggest proof.

Nothing speaks louder than five titles.

this round.

Parker made a layup and finally got it.

But the Heat's advance speed is still as turbulent as a tide.

but.

Duncan finally got his seat this time.

Batum holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Xue Liancheng ran over, got the ball hand by hand, squeezed Danny Green forward, and stuck Leonard behind him.

Seeing that he was about to enter the penalty area, Duncan took a step up and stretched out his hand to cover Xue Liancheng's vision.

But can Xue Liancheng's vision be blocked by his body or palm?
Directly hang the other side of the basket high.

Duncan reacted quickly and stepped back immediately, trying to grab the ball.

But it's too late.

Ibaka has already flown up and received the ball with a light flick.

The ball goes in.

Still maintain a difference of 16 points.

Spurs attack.

Duncan is still in the low post, sitting and trying to drive Ibaka in.

But this time.

The person who came up to help defend was PJ Tucker.

Ferociously direct press.

Duncan tried to make an internal pass to Ginobili, but Xue Liancheng saw through it in advance.

Just break the ball off.

Xue Liancheng did not cling to the ball tightly, but immediately passed it to Chalmers who was running ahead.

The Heat launched a defensive counterattack again.

Very fast.

Duncan fell behind again, unable to catch up at all.

The rest of the Spurs were chasing desperately, but the speed was actually not slow.

After Xue Liancheng ran over.

In fact, the Spurs' defense has basically fallen.

But here's the problem.

Duncan only arrived at halftime, which means that the Spurs have missed people.

And the missing person.

It was Xue Liancheng.

He came two steps beyond the three-point line.

Batum passed it on immediately.

He took a step forward, pulled it up and shot.

Swish!
Again!

19 points difference.

This time.

The old man Popovich couldn't stand it anymore, and finally called a timeout.

In just over three minutes, they were beaten 12:2 with no power to fight back.

The Heat's offensive frenzy devastated their defense.

Do not……

Destruction is true.

But there is really no line of defense.

In just 3 minutes, they didn't even build a defense line, and they were beaten on the spot.

It is conceivable how terrifying and terrifying the Heat's offensive firepower is.

But he still couldn't figure out why their matchup was so advantageous, but they couldn't show it at all.

The old man Popovich still stubbornly put Duncan on the court, only emphasizing the importance of assisting defense and supplementary defense.

result.

Naturally, it is to meet the fast-paced devastation of the Heat.

Although the Heat are not as accurate as before, the offensive rhythm is too fast, which still makes the Spurs at a loss.

Especially through Xue Liancheng's pass, there can always be some opportunities, making the Spurs' assist defense and supplementary defense useless.

There are still the last 4 minutes at the end.

The Heat have already led by 108 points with 83:25.

It can be said.

The Spurs were dragged to death abruptly, and they couldn't build a line of defense to stop the Heat's offense.

That is at this moment.

The collision of the old and the new has already decided the outcome.

The wheel of the times, the defense that Popovich is proud of, and the cornerstone of the most powerful player in history have been crushed.

At last.

Although the Spurs regained some points, the ending is already doomed.

The Heat completed their revenge with 112:92.

The old man Popovich's strategy of flanking Xue Liancheng also declared complete bankruptcy.

Losing by 20 points, who would believe that the flanking strategy worked?

Anyway, it is estimated that even Popovich himself would not believe it.

and……

Not only was Xue Liancheng's data not suppressed, but it looked even better.

With 33 points and 9 assists, the quasi-triple-double data led the team to a chilling offensive output.

Especially in the fifth quarter of the fourth quarter, the offensive frenzy he set off by catching the ball is simply eye-catching.

The offensive tempo is too fast.

Almost to the point where the Spurs even saved the process of flanking Xue Liancheng.

After all, there was only more than ten seconds of attack time, and they didn't have time to flank, but found that the Heat's offense was over.

It's too fast...

So fast that it's too late to react...

of course.

The high score is also due to the fact that Xue Liancheng took too many shots. He took 20 shots in this game.

In addition to Xue Liancheng's outstanding performance, Ibaka finally ushered in an explosion.

A quasi double-double of 21 points and 8 rebounds made him a duck to water in the five-small system.

Strong physical talent, as well as excellent running and jumping ability, plus the ability to be inside and outside.

As an important member of Duncan's death, he is an indispensable existence of the death five small lineup.

Batum also contributed 16 points and 5 assists. As an equally important part of the five small offenses, his performance was crucial, especially when Xue Liancheng was frantically pinched, he took over the banner of the team organization, The reception and distribution of the ball are done very well.

PJ-Tucker, although he only scored 9 points, but his role in blocking the rebound and opening up space is still very obvious.

The Spurs didn't dare to really let it go.

Gasol Jr. didn't play much in the fourth quarter, and only scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. This game is useless.

But in the future games, once the five small lineups suffer setbacks, then he will be the last guarantee of the Heat.

This is their lower limit, and it is impossible to say that it is not important.

It's just that he seems dispensable when Wu Xiao plays well.

Spurs here.

Leonard made 15 of 8, 10 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 24 points. This is his new high scoring this season, and his performance can be described as brave.

Especially when the score was approaching in the fourth quarter, they scored two three-pointers in a row, which made the Heat have to make adjustments.

Has gradually grown into the new offensive and defensive core of the Spurs.

but.

The energy invested on the defensive end is still greater than that on the offensive end.

Parker also scored 20 points, and his efficiency was also very good. He made 12 of 8 shots, but he failed to stand up when the Heat's five small lineups launched an offensive frenzy, which made his statistics meaningless.

G of GDP, the score in this game was not very good, only 6 points, but he made a contribution in organizing the offense and connecting the teams, sending out 9 assists.

Tim Duncan, the number one power forward in history, only scored 10 points and 10 rebounds. After all, he is a hero.

prior to.

Duncan put more energy into the defensive end because of his age and slower pace.

result.

On the defensive end today, not only did he not play a role, he even seriously hindered him.

This made him seriously doubt whether he was really old.

So much so that when he hugged and saluted after the game, he said to Xue Liancheng very emotionally, "Xue, your performance is really great, I am proud of you, the future... must be yours."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

What the hell?

This is so familiar!
It seems that James once said that to me.

But the problem is.

At the beginning, my big Zhan Huang had his head shaved, and he lost to death, so Duncan gave him comfort.

Is it appropriate to say this now?

It was as if he had lost.

They also use the nonsense that "the future belongs to you" to deceive people.

He doesn't want this kind of encouragement.

After all, Duncan is also an old hooligan. He used this sentence to deceive me, Big James, for many years.

I said it in 07. At that time, I was very happy when I heard it, and I really felt that the future belonged to me.

The result is naturally a mess.

Seven years have passed, that is, last year, Duncan, an old rascal, was not old enough to hang me up and beat him up.

This has caused many fans to ask: When will you be old?Give me a letter, no matter how old you are, my big Zhan Huang will be old.

and so.

He has no feelings for a liar like Duncan...

After a pause, he said perfunctorily, "Uh...thank you for your blessing."

Duncan froze for a moment, "I'm serious."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Brother!

You were so serious last time.

what's the result?
My big brother James was tortured to death. If Ray Allen hadn't saved him in 13 years, he might really die and come back to life.

Don't make trouble, will you?

He said solemnly, "Old man, you are still young, there is still fuel in the tank, um... the future is ours together."

This time.

It was Duncan's turn to be speechless: "..."

But he didn't care about it, but said with a smile, "Looking forward to your performance in the future."

Xue Liancheng replied: "Looking forward to our next meeting."

after the game.

Xue Liancheng was elected the best player again and accepted the media interview.

Reporter: "The Spurs have adopted an extremely crazy double-team tactic against you. How did you break it?"

Xue Liancheng: "I used my legs to run hard to break it."

It's a joke, but it's true.

He just used the way of running without the ball to make the Spurs' double-team strategy invalid.

of course.

He didn't say the real way to crack it.

That is in a fast-paced way, so that the Spurs don't even have a chance to double-team.

Reporter: "You were eliminated in the finals last season. This time you succeeded in revenge. Do you have anything to say?"

Xue Liancheng: "Hey... I didn't come to the Heat last season."

The reporter froze for a moment, then asked with a wry smile, "What do you think of the Spurs team?"

Xue Liancheng: "The defensive end is very good. It is one of the teams with the most balanced offense and defense in the league. Their team spirit and selfless spirit are admirable. This is a great team."

Ok……

Having said that, admiration is admiration.

But if he is asked to give himself unselfishly, to make sacrifices, then he will not be happy.

after all……

He still has a big contract to earn.

He also wants to start his own brand.

Without data, who cares which dead rat you are?
This alliance is so realistic.

On the premise of ensuring victory, you let me swipe more points, so that I can feel the meaning of my existence.

Instead of letting me switch defenses infinitely, assist defense, make up defense, be a wall, cover for teammates, and run to stretch space.

He can't do this kind of sacrifice.

What's more...

With his physical talent and physical condition, he is not suitable for doing these things.

Reporter: "What is your evaluation of Popovich? If given the opportunity, would you be willing to play under his hands?"

Xue Liancheng declined, "He is a legendary coach, very good, but I have a good life in Miami."

Just kidding?
Let him play team basketball, maybe just for fun, and his passing threat will be lost.

It was rumored before that it was stipulated that Leonard could not take more than a few shots, and he would be replaced for a while if he scored more than a few points. I don't know if it is true.

Anyway, according to the current tactical system of the Spurs, it is difficult for you Leonard to shoot more.

If you shoot unreasonably many times, you have to be replaced for a meeting.

Who can bear this!
Don't give the giant planet a chance at all.

Like a 100% hit skill, if you cast more times, even if you make it, you may be criticized.

So, he doesn't match Popovich.

No matter where he goes, there's no way he's going to San Antonio.

And the post-match interview.

The reporter also asked Popovich about Xue Liancheng.

Reporter: "Can you tell me first, has your evaluation of Xue Liancheng changed after the game?"

Popovich: "There is no doubt that he is already one of the best players in the league. His passing threat is too great. Even if we adopt crazy pinching tactics, we still can't stop him. I think if I shoot If there is a vote for MVP, I will definitely vote for him."

Such recognition is very rare.

When Popovich evaluates players, he is generally very official, and such a high appreciation is really rare.

but……

What you said, it sounds like there is a suspicion of provoking trouble.

Especially combined with the pre-match connotation of my big Zhan Huang's remarks, this evaluation seems to be connected.

Reporter: "The Heat used the ultimate five-small lineup in the fourth quarter. You didn't respond at that time. I want to know, what did you think at the time?"

Popovich: "I didn't think about anything, I just executed according to our own tactics, but...you can see it, it's incredible, I think I'll stay in the video room later, and take a good look at it Video, this era is changing too fast, I can't keep up..."

In the end it was taken as self-deprecating.

The reporters don't take it seriously at all, after all... this is the five-time coach, the defending champion last season!

If Popovich can't keep up with the times, who can keep up with the times?

But only Popovich himself knows how much impact the Heat's five juniors have on him.
