Chapter 180

Tang Tian nodded. He deliberately shot and caught three-pointers in the training game. Popovich really noticed it and remembered it in his heart.

"Okay, you go up and try after the second quarter begins." Popovich made a quick decision.

This is his style. Tang Tian had been in close contact with him during this period, and found that this old man had completely two personalities internally and externally.

At this time, the situation on the field between the two teams has been deadlocked.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Spurs. This old man with old arms and legs will consume a lot of energy and will definitely suffer in the second half.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 25 to 24, and the Heat ended the first quarter with the lead.

Back in the second quarter, both sides were raising their defensive intensity, and there was a scoring shortage on the court, and they hadn't scored any points after playing for more than three minutes.

Popovich called a timeout at this time, called Tang Tian up, and arranged the tactics on the court by the way.

In the previous games, Tang Tian was the winger, just like Green, Jefferson, and Leonard, he was the end point of the hammer tactics.

But this time, Popovich's tactics were built around him.

As a second-round pick, that's really uncommon.

But that's the Spurs, aka Popovich.

As an ordinary coach, no matter how good your performance is, a second-round pick or even a rookie wants to get special tactics?

Unless you are the cornerstone of the new team, otherwise this possibility is completely impossible.

Back from the timeout, players from the two teams came on stage one after another.

For the Heat, Norris Cole and James Jones are on the perimeter, Battier and Haslem are on the front line, Bosh is the center.

For the Spurs, Mills and Gary Neal are on the perimeter, Tang Tian and Bonner are on the front line, and Blair is the center.

The Heat's offense, Bosh played Blair in the low post, the Spurs shrank the defense, Bosh gave the ball to Jones outside, but Neal's return to defense was very timely.

Jones missed a three-pointer, and Blair blocked the position and protected the defensive rebound.

Still no points on the field.

There was a restlessness at the scene, which is why some fans are unwilling to watch the game. The game is not bad for viewing.

I thought that playing the Heat would be an offensive battle, but it turned out that they underestimated their home team's style.

Although the situation on the court is very anxious, some fans have already begun to chat with each other on the sidelines.

"Shua!"

But just as they started chatting, there was a sudden crisp sound on the field.

A burst of cheers followed.

Tang Tian made a three-pointer.

Fans who didn't see it looked up to the LED screen, which quickly gave a replay of the ball just now.

Blair and Bonner continuously screened Tang Tian without the ball. Tang Tian borrowed the screen from the left corner to run to the right corner and made a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Mills.

A trace of surprise flashed in their eyes. Although it was the same three points, Tang Tian seemed to be a little different!

Bosh's low post caused Blair's thug to go to the free throw line and make two free throws.

The two sides finally began to score one after another, and the fans on the sidelines also turned their attention back to the field.

The Spurs attack in the frontcourt, and Mills holds the ball on the outside.

The Heat didn't have a tactic of packing and holding the ball during the bench stage. After all, when James and Wade were not on the court, that would give the Spurs countless open shooting opportunities.

Bonner mentioned the three-point line on the right as a pick-and-roll for Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian cut to the basket from a forty-five-degree angle.

Blair at the basket gave him a pick-and-roll, and he cut out from the left to a forty-five-degree angle.

At this time, Bonner had already moved from the right side to the left side, directly blocking Battier who was chasing Tang Tian and Haslem who was following him.

But just for a moment, Bonner's confrontation was not strong, and he was quickly squeezed by Battier.

Tang Tian didn't have time to adjust after receiving the ball, so he directly shot a three-pointer.

The shot time of this ball is very short, and the opportunity is fleeting.

This is also the biggest difference between the open three-pointer, or the fixed-point three-pointer and the catch three-pointer. You basically don't adjust the time, and you can take the ball as soon as you catch the ball.

Tang Tian catches the ball and makes a shot.

Battier struggled to save the interference.

Tang Tian's shot speed played a role at this time, he had already completed the shot before Battier's interference was in place.

The ball whirled in the air and flew towards the basket, and the fans at the scene unconsciously looked at the ball.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!

The second consecutive three-pointer!

"Beautiful!" The live commentator couldn't help exclaiming!

There was also a burst of cheers at the scene.

Sure enough, it still feels good to score consecutively. Tang Tian suddenly aroused their desire to watch the game again!

Wade on the sidelines also reacted at this time.

The ball from the front running position to the bottom corner is not so obvious, but the ball just now... This is not a fixed-point open three-pointer, it is a catch-and-shoot three-pointer!

Although it is also a three-pointer, one is static and the other is dynamic. The tactical significance of catching the three-pointer is obviously greater!

He couldn't help turning his head to look at James. James said in the locker room that Tang Tian was just a spot-up shooter?

James was biting his fingers comfortably at the moment, not paying attention to Wade's gaze.

With the Heat's offense, Jones still couldn't grasp the outside three-pointer.

Spoelstra called Miller again at this time, ready to let him play to replace Jones.

The Spurs' frontcourt offense, the same tactics.

Because Tang Tian had already scored two three-pointers in a row, the Heat's entire defensive focus was on him.

At this time, Mills passed the ball to Blair under the basket, and Blair turned around and hit the board.

The Spurs played an 8-2 offensive and took a 5-point lead.

The Heat attacked in the frontcourt, and Bosh was still double-teamed. This time the ball was distributed to Battier in the corner.

Tang Tian's defense was quick, Battier passed the ball to Jones, and Jones passed it to Cole, but Cole's three-point shot still missed.

The Heat's starting strength is strong, but the bench is relatively weak.

Spoelstra couldn't sit still, so he called James up and let him play early.

Popovich also called Parker after seeing it.

However, the game has not yet entered a dead ball, and the players to be replaced by both sides are sitting on both sides of the technical table.

Mills advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Heat's players are now a bit difficult to choose.

Because Tang Tian's movement was fast and the timing was accurate, they couldn't guard it if they didn't focus on marking.

But if you focus on marking, then the goal in front of Blair is a lesson.

It's like double the poison, you have to pick one.

They finally gambled on Tang Tian's touch. After all, the shooting percentage of three-pointers must be lower than that of the basket.

Tang Tian's chance, he made a three-pointer after catching the ball.

"boom!"

The pitch was thrown a little short.

But luckily, after bouncing up, it fell in again.

Tang Tian's fourth three-pointer in the first half!

The point difference came to 8 points!

There were constant cheers at the scene.

At this time, Wade glanced at James who was waiting on the technical table again, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Brother, you are fooling us!
