Popovich said this, Tang Tian was not easy to refuse.

However, he also knew one thing very riskily with James.

If James suddenly chooses to play with the ball in the high post, his body after losing weight will not match the position at all.

"Old man, I think Kawhi is more suitable than me, his defense is better than mine, especially against LeBron." He continued.

This is true.

With the help of dynamic vision, Tang Tian's current single defense ability is not much different from Leonard's.

But because of the weight loss, the effect on James is definitely not as good as Leonard.

"Yes, you're right." Popovich also reacted and turned his head directly to look at Leonard.

There was no change in expression on Leonard's face.

"Go around, limit him from receiving the ball, fight, and consume his physical strength." Popovich said a couple of key points to Leonard.

Leonard nodded.

Coming back from halftime, the Heat made defensive adjustments, directly replacing Chanmoss with Miller and using Wade as a cameo point guard.

The Spurs' lineup is unchanged.

James went to the front court to fall low and continued to ask for positions, and Jefferson was on the body at this time.

James was very uncomfortable, which is why he has not practiced his back before, and this kind of important position full of physical confrontation is very physically demanding.

However, the ball was finally given in, and James's turning shot directly caused Jefferson's pulling foul.

Two free throws.

Maybe Jefferson was a little too strong, and James missed both free throws.

Split picked up the defensive rebound.

Popovich nodded in satisfaction on the sidelines, and that was the effect he wanted.

The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt, and the Heat began to double up again, and Green's pass to the inside was directly stolen by Wade.

The Heat counterattacked, and Wade scored a quick break in the frontcourt like a lightning bolt.

The two sides are tied at 48!

Popovich turned around at this time and called Tang Tian up directly.

At the post-game press conference of his debut against the Clippers, he told reporters a bad joke, saying that he was old, otherwise he should give Tang Tian more playing time.

Now it seems that it is a word, and Tang Tian really doesn't have much time to rest in this game.

Miller's off-ball foul, Tang Tian came on to replace Green.

The Heat team still held the ball, and Tang Tian borrowed Duncan's block and ran out in advance, and directly received the ball and shot three-pointers.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian hit the 6th three-pointer in this game!

"Tonight, the basket is the sea in his eyes!" The sideline commentator shouted excitedly.

Tang Tian's performance on the outside line tonight is really incredible!

After hitting this three-pointer, his score was a game-high 21 points!

Don is not a low-key Spurs rookie day, playing crazy!

Spoelst stretched his hand and tapped his forehead on the forehead, then motioned for the defense to switch back to man-marking.

The Heat offense in the frontcourt, and Jefferson continues to pestering James.

James was impatient, and after receiving the ball, he directly chose to attack with a face frame, and the shot after the confrontation recreated Jefferson's hitter.

His one-on-one singles ability after gaining weight is really not a bit of a perversion.

Jefferson was fouled twice in a row at the start of the second half, and Popovich got up to call Leonard up and let him go up to replace Jefferson.

James adjusted his breathing this time and made both free throws amid the boos of the fans, saving some face for himself.

With a point difference of 1 point, the situation on the court is extremely anxious, the intensity of the game and the performance of both sides are completely at the level of the playoffs or even the finals.

The Heat no longer contain ball handlers, and Parker motioned to play AI hammer tactics.

The Heat have significantly strengthened their defense against Tang Tian, and Spoelstra has a higher status on the team than expected.

Parker seized the opportunity to have a tacit cooperation with Duncan, who received the ball and dribbled past Joel Anthony to put the ball in the basket.

The cheers at the scene rose again.

In a scorching situation, any goal counts.

James saw Jefferson go down and continued to drop low for the ball.

However, Leonard's defensive ability at this time was reflected, and he did not fight desperately like Jefferson, but used a half-circle.

His reach and palms make him unmatched on the defensive end, and he's maximized those talents in clever ways.

Wade tried to hold the ball and didn't dare to give it in, and Leonard's arms and big hands looked too threatening.

He asked for Joel Anthony's pick-and-roll and wanted to play Split in a misplaced position.

But Tang Tian squeezed through and didn't give him a chance, Wade could only choose to force Tang Tian.

His speed was fast, Tang Tian gave way, and Wade chose a stop-and-go throw.

Tang Tian stood up in advance and stretched out his hand to interfere with the line of sight.

"Bang!"

Wade's throw missed.

After Tang Tian lost weight, he couldn't completely block Wade, but it was still okay to do the restrictions.

Split grabbed the defensive rebound.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, the Spurs hit a zip hammer, the Heat's defense didn't dare to tighten too tightly, and Parker seized the opportunity to throw and score.

Before you know it, the Spurs have built a five-point lead.

Spoelstra stood on the sidelines.

There were no tactical or personnel changes this time, and he didn't react that quickly, but he also realized that something was going wrong.

The Heat's frontcourt offense, Leonard continued to half-circle the front defense James, James couldn't catch the ball and went directly to the high post.

As Tang Tian expected, James changed his frame after receiving the ball.

Leonard sank his weight to defend, James held the ball in a tank-like break, Leonard had a long hand, but there was no chance to shoot under the confrontation.

James carried Leonard to the penalty area, but at this time Tang Tian came over to help defend.

James' attention was on Leonard.

"Smack!"

Just when he was about to be strong, the ball in his hand was slapped off!

Tang Tian's steal!

Tang Tian got the ball, and the Spurs directly pushed the fast break.

This break came so suddenly that the rest of the Heat players didn't react.

Parker attacked the front court and threw the ball to Tang Tian, who followed up, and Tang Tian made a three-point shot in the open space after receiving the ball.

Seeing Tang Tian make a move, the fans at the scene had already instinctively opened their mouths.

"Huh!"

The moment the ball entered the net, the entire ATT Center Arena was boiling instantly!

Tang Tian, the 7th three-pointer of the game!

The NBA's single-game three-point shooting is 12, and he has already completed half of it in the third quarter, which is more!

“Holyshit！” The narrator lost himself excitedly and burst into foul language.

Where is the basket the sea, it's simply a cruise missile equipped with a positioning device!

The Spurs once again stretched the difference to 8 points!

James was also a little depressed at this time, how many Tang Tian plans to throw?

Even if I was in favor of the management not to choose you, wouldn't you have to vote so much?

The second person in my alliance also wants to save face!

He played Leonard with the ball in the frontcourt, but Tang Tian came over as soon as possible, and he distributed the ball to Miller.

Parker helped defend Miller, Miller gave Wade to Wade, and Wade's layup that burst into the basket was interfered with by Duncan.

The Spurs are so airtight on the defensive end, and it's a feeling on the defensive end!

Duncan grabbed the defensive rebound, the Spurs pushed the defense to counterattack, and Parker made a quick break to the front.

Tang Tian followed up for the first time again, Parker's pass, this time Wade saw it and flew directly to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian waited for a while, and after watching Wade fly in front of him, he turned into a three-point breakthrough with one step, and directly scored with both hands under the basket!

"Bang!"

Wade couldn't catch up if he wanted to!

After the dunk, Tang Tian was a little excited, and he swung around the basket before coming down.

The fans of the whole arena went crazy!

Is this not a shot, another day?!
