Chapter 479 Thomas Jr. and Cole Fight
During the timeout, Spoeldo did not yell or criticize the players, but patiently told the Big Three not to be too nervous.
He understands the psychological activities of the Big Three very well. This is the second year of their three-person team, and there is a lot of pressure.
Countless fans have high expectations for them, and even when they formed a team, the three consecutive championships could not satisfy the fantasies of the fans.
However, last season's Big Three lost to the young Splash Brothers in the finals, which shocked the fans.
Although they didn't win the championship, the fans are still very confident in the Big Three. After all, the first year of team formation, the cooperation was not so tacit.
The most important thing is that the core of the team is blurred. James and Wade pushed each other at critical moments, making fans unable to understand.
Therefore, the media and fans believe that failing to form a team in the first year is just a one-year tuition fee. As long as the Big Three gain experience and stabilize their mentality, they will definitely win the championship.
"Remember, you are the strongest combination in the league, no one can beat you, not even Splash Brothers!"
With Spoelstra's encouragement, the confidence of the Heat players was stimulated again.
The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the field.
The Warriors home fans have waited too long for this day. They are cheering for the Warriors all the time, and the Heat players feel their brains buzzing.
The game continues, the Heat attack.
James advanced the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his hand and called a pick-and-roll, and Bosh came over to block Zhou Yang.
Then James rushed near the penalty area, faced Chandler, turned around, went to the basket, and scored two points!
This is James' special skill. His handwork at the basket is really good, and he is getting more and more stable.
James' combination of strength and skill is historic.
8:4, the Heat are still 4 points behind.
Warriors attack.
Curry advanced to the frontcourt again. He saw Zhou Yang reaching out for the ball and passed it immediately.
Because James hit one just now, Zhou Yang had to return one to maintain the momentum of a warrior!
James is fully focused, he must defend the ball.
bass!
Zhou Yang broke through to the left, but the speed was not fast, allowing James to stick to him to defend.
Just as he was approaching the left sideline, Zhou Yang suddenly turned around, as if he was about to turn around and pass by.
James was prepared, and immediately moved quickly to block Zhou Yang's way.
However, Zhou Yang had just turned halfway, whoosh!It turned back.
This fake action was too sudden, or too realistic, James really didn't react.
When he moved his center of gravity and jumped again, Zhou Yang had already soared into the air.
Zhou Yang jumped up, still leaning back, James couldn't cover it at all, he could only watch Zhou Yang make a move.
Swish!
Two points to hand.
After the rise of the small ball, there are not many people who play this way, but Zhou Yang still retains the move of turning over and jumping, and it seems that it is still very useful.
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yang waved his fist and roared!
At 10:4, the Warriors continued to lead.
In the next few rounds, both sides brought out the strongest offensive methods, and the efficiency was very high. It was not like the finals, but more like the All-Star Game.
In fact, this is normal. Although this is the finals, the series is long-term. Both sides have to do some testing, and the defensive intensity is not too great.
After more than 7 minutes in the first quarter, the score came to 16:12, and the Warriors took the lead.
Old Nelson began to make substitutions.
Curry went down to rest and replaced Thomas Jr., Barbosa went off to rest, and Tony Allen came on.
The Heat also made substitutions. Wade went down to rest and replaced Cole.
Cole played very well in this regular season, and the playoffs are not inferior, which brought surprises to Heat fans.
So he is highly valued by Spoelstra as Wade's first substitute.
As soon as Cole came up, he made a breakthrough and hit the basket to get two points.
But in terms of speed, Cole is about the same as the peak Wade.
However, Thomas Jr. of the Warriors is not easy to mess with, and he is very competitive.
In the next round, the Warriors attacked, Thomas Jr. used his teammates to cover, and also rushed to the penalty area, hit the board high, and scored two points!
The substitutes on both sides even got up.
The game was very exciting.
Warriors fans like Thomas Jr. very much, and this is what Thomas played game by game.
Before Thomas Jr. came to the Warriors, the fans were very disappointed.
Because he was the last pick in the second round of the draft, many Warriors fans wanted to trade him because he was too short.
Although after the Splash Brothers became popular, the role of short players became more and more important, and more and more three-pointers were thrown, but the fans thought that this little Thomas was a bit too short...
Therefore, fans have left messages on the official website, demanding that he be traded away.
And in the first half of the regular season, Thomas did not play well and was often named and bullied by the opponent.
However, under the efforts of Thomas Jr., his progress is very obvious, the ability of human-ball integration is very strong, and his speed is faster.
Especially in the playoffs, Thomas Jr. did not become the Warriors' weakness, but became a dagger on the bench!
In the next few rounds, Cole and Thomas Jr. faced off, and James and Zhou Yang were also beautiful adults and gave them the ball.
Both rookies played well and helped the team score consecutively.
After the first quarter, the two teams scored 37:34, with the Warriors leading by 3 points.
Zhou Yang didn't score much in the first quarter, only 6 points, but he had 4 assists.
James is similar, scoring 7 points and 4 assists.
All the old fans can see that these two leading stars have reservations, they have not tried their best, and they are trying their best to connect the whole team.
In the second quarter of the game, Curry came on the stage and led the substitutes.
For the Heat, Wade also appeared.
The Heat's bench lineup has improved this season, not to mention Cole, Mike Miller, Battier, James Jones, Juwan Howard, are all very strong.
After Curry came on the court, he used his ultra-long three-pointer to widen the space.
Just as the Heat expanded their defense, Butler and Livingston began to score points in the penalty area again.
The Warriors have a very clear idea of playing, and their points have risen quickly.
However, the Heat's bench lineup is also very strong, tit for tat.
Mike Miller also hit two three-pointers, biting the score tightly.
More than 5 minutes into the second quarter, the score came to 49:47, and the Warriors led by 2 points.
It seems that it is not easy for the Warriors to open the score. The Heat played very tenaciously, using their own tactics to fight against it.
Especially Wade, he knows that this is the era of small balls, so after Wade used a sharp breakthrough to tear through the defense, he reduced the number of finishes, but passed to open teammates.
In this way, the Heat's scoring efficiency is also very high, shooting a lot of three-pointers.
