"The starters of both sides in this game are exactly the same as in the division finals, and it seems that the coaches of both sides plan to start this round of the finals in a relatively conservative way! Audience friends, this is Mike. Brin and Kevin. Welcome to ESPN, Harlan, and welcome to the 2012-2013 NBA Finals! ”

After the starters of both sides stepped onto the pitch, Mike. Brin's voice once again surged into the ears of the fans.

Since the broadcast rights of the NBA Finals in recent years have been in the hands of ESPN, the next few games will be played by Mike . Brin commentary. In this regard, "Mr. Colorful Clothes" Sag is undoubtedly the most disappointed. Two of his favorite coaches played in the finals, but as a courtside reporter, he couldn't be there to interview them in person.

But that still couldn't stop Sag from loving the game, so as the camera swept over the audience. People can't help but find Coach Henson's girlfriend Angelie, Paul's wife, Horford's wife, David. Beckham also discovered the "man in the coloured suit" Sag.

The charm of the NBA Finals is unstoppable.

As Mike. As Brin explained, there were no changes to the starting lineups for both sides today. On the Spurs' side, there are still Parker and Gary who can't be beaten. Neil, Stephen. Jackson, Duncan and Brazilian center Split. Ginobili was dropped off the bench after a poor start early in the season. So, Gary. Neil was just a fake starter.

On the Pacers' side, Henson also continued the lineup against the Heat. Paul, George, Leonard, West and Horford, without changing lineups, Henson intends to use the regular lineup to fight the Spurs.

On paper, the Pacers seem to have a stronger roster. But as we all know, the Spurs' three "old carriages" are the kind of masters who kill the game without knowing it.

It seems that Parker is not so strong, but in this year's playoffs, the French have averaged 20+7 per game. This statistic is not inferior to Paul. The bald-looking Ginobili doesn't seem to be that strong, but every round of the series Ginobili always has a dream back to the top, and that's enough.

Not to mention, the dumbfounded No. 21 on the pitch at this time. Although he is 37 years old, although people say that Duncan should have slipped a long time ago. However, that guy's dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is still terrifying!

Not to mention, the Spurs also have Burreth on the bench. Dior, Matt. Bonner, Corey. Joseph, Patrick. Mills and Maddie too. In terms of rotation lineup, the Spurs' rotation can play better than the Heat's.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the Pacers fans, the referee blew the whistle and tossed the basketball high. Spurs Brazilian center Split is not known for his athleticism, but with his height and reach dominance, he still won the first attack from Horford.

Henson didn't get up from his seat, but he clenched his fists. The San Antonio Spurs' first offense is approaching!

Most of the Spurs' offense is initiated by pick-and-rolls, and in this regard, Popovich and Henson are very similar.

Parker borrowed Duncan's cover to go to the basket, but it wasn't just a tactic between Parker and Duncan. Henson can clearly see that everything the Spurs are working with is following the movement of Parker and Duncan.

After taking cover, Duncan immediately went down. This made David. West was a little nervous, perhaps the first time he'd felt nervous because of a 37-year-old player.

But after dribbling from the baseline and out of the three-point line, Parker still didn't pass. Just when everyone thought that the Spurs' tactics didn't come out, Parker suddenly shoved hard and sent the ball to Stephen. Jackson hands!

Jackson flicked a shot, then lowered his center of gravity to accelerate the breakthrough. But this did not deceive Leonard, although at this point Leonard's stat bonus effect had disappeared. But deal with Stephen. Jackson, it's enough.

Jackson didn't shake up any space, so he had to go inside with Leon's head. Barring a miracle, it would be impossible for the aging "Martial Saint" to score on Leonard's head.

However, Jackson didn't intend to score on Leonard's head at all. Halfway through, Stephen. Jackson passed the ball to the outside again. That's when people found out that Gary. Neil has somehow already used a counterrun and an off-ball screen to shake off George!

Stephen. Jackson's pass was well-timed to attract the attention of the defence without delaying the opportunity! Neil received the ball at the 45° three-point line on the right side of the court and shot, and by the time George arrived, the basketball that Neil threw had already flown into the air!

"What patience." Henson shook his head, the Spurs were patient and precise in passing the ball, forcing a single? This kind of thing, it's hard to see in the Spurs.

As it turned out, Gary. Neil didn't forget his goal in San Antonio today, opening with his first three-point shot and Neal scored. Of course, this is not Gary. Neil's personal ability is the embodiment of the technical and tactical level of the entire Spurs team!

"I can't believe that the person who scored first in the finals was Gary. Neil. But, this is the San Antonio Spurs, they are all soldiers! ”

It's all soldiers, and that's exactly the toughest team to play against, because it's hard to limit their offense by pressing a certain point.

But it's okay, Gary. Neil's goal was instantly erased. The Spurs are a team-type team, and so do Henson's Pacers!

The Spurs' defense, while undoubtedly less efficient than the Grizzlies and Pacers, doesn't mean it's much worse than these two teams.

The basketball game is not a simple math game, and the Grizzlies have the first defensive efficiency value, and they were also swept by the Spurs.

After half time, Paul handed the ball to Paul, who was running without the ball. George. Popovich certainly knows about Gary. Neil is at a disadvantage in the face of George, and Neil's defense is average, not to mention that the height difference between the two sides is so much.

So, he was prepared for this. As soon as George held the ball, Henson saw that the defensive position of the Spurs players was no longer man-marking, but more akin to joint defense!

They want to use defensive traps to lure George to break through, and then use the power of the system to beat George all in the middle distance!

The corners of Henson's mouth curled, and he knew that Old Man Popovich could not leave such a weakness alone. Therefore, it was also expected that the Spurs would focus their defensive attention on George's breakthrough. So before the game began, Henson instructed George.

"Increase the number of three-point shots you make!"

George didn't move immediately after receiving Paul's pass, but made a couple of triple moves on the spot. Seeing this, the Spurs' defense is also too afraid to move, and they must beware of George's surprise attack.

See Gary. Neil let himself go with a small step, and George didn't hesitate anymore and suddenly pulled out a jump shot!

"This" Spurs on the bench, that one is called Tracy. McGrady's Spurs No. 1 felt like time had been transfigured

"Three-point line pull-up jumper, Gary. Neil was caught off guard! George's height advantage is very obvious, he is barely disturbed! Boom！ ”

Mike. Bryn's trademark shout, revealing the end of the shot, "Three-point hit!" Haha, Paul. George, his pull-and-shoot shot is just too crisp! ”

Accompanied by Mike. Bryn's commentary, live footage gives a close-up of the sleepy-eyed Maddie. The ball just now is so similar!

"Hmph, stinky boy." Seeing George score, Popovich shook his head helplessly. Of course, the stinky boy in his mouth is not referring to George, nor to Neil, who has failed defensively, but to Henson.

George chooses to shoot dry because he knows there are defensive traps waiting for him. So, he decisively opened fire on the outside. This may seem like a bit capricious, but it's actually more successful.

Cunning Henson, what a cunning bastard! If it weren't for Henson's reminder, young Paul . . . George couldn't have seen that there was a defensive trap waiting for him inside.

The game was played only for the first back-and-forth, and both managers found fun in the game. This kind of-for-tat feeling is much more refreshing than the district finals!

Of course, neither manager will rest on his laurels. It's not enough fun to play this game, Popovich and Henson, but they are both aiming for victory.

After both sides scored, Henson and Popovich could be said to have stood up at the same time, standing on the sidelines.

The real game of minds has officially begun.
