James played the Spurs substitute alone, although the Spurs bench is very good, but I have to say that James is known as the champion who has been rare for many years, and he is indeed capable.

With two people hanging on his body, he can still force a layup, and James has also brought his ability to the extreme.

"Coach, let me play." Qin Yan couldn't help but say to Popovich.

"You sit down." Popovich directly asked Qin Yan to sit down, "Sit honestly, and I'll talk about it later." ”

It's true that Popovich is not in a hurry, the second quarter was supposed to be on the second lineup, the main players on the Spurs side got a good rest, and on the Heat side, James has not rested since the first quarter, according to the current situation, this guy is likely to be ready to play the whole game.

This is nothing to him, and it is also a well-known thing that Coach Spo uses the main force ruthlessly.

James, in particular, often plays 40 minutes or more, and for him, it's all routine.

Of course, it's okay to play 40 minutes or more in the regular season, but if you do the same in the playoffs, it's a big problem.

James is also human, and although his muscles are as strong as steel, blood still flows through his veins, not oil.

In this half quarter, the confrontation with the Spurs' second lineup, although James bit the score, but his consumption was very large, especially against Green, who forced breakthroughs or hit his back again and again, although Green was thin, he still held on for several rounds.

Well done!

The main players on the bench couldn't sit still anymore, and they all had the intention of playing, and Qin Yan was even pushed out by them as a representative.

Of course, this result is more unfortunate, Popovich did not agree to his request, if it were not for the fact that it is now being broadcast live around the world, maybe Popovich directly intends to curse.

I know who is on the bench and who doesn't, so I'll be obedient to me.

Maddie and Ginobili revitalized the whole team, under their leadership, the Spurs five bench opportunities everyone had a score, the only one who did not score was Split, but he also contributed 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in this short six minutes, two of which were rebounded and finally turned into the Spurs' secondary offense, and the two blood caps were also quite fierce, directly shooting away the Heat's two layups, and successfully converted into a fast-break layup opportunity.

This is the Spurs' bench, they are more arrogant than anyone else when they come on the court, and they can go sideways no matter who the opponent is.

The Spurs rely on the whole team, and the Heat really only rely on James.

Except for Ray Allen, the rest of the Heat lineup does have some problems, but Ray Allen encountered Maddy's crazy pressing defense today, which made his three-point shooting skills not work as well as they should, and Ray Allen, who has only shot 1 of 5 so far, can't attract much firepower for the team from the outside.

Ray Allen can't open it for the time being, and the Heat can only give up this offensive point first, fortunately, the Heat is not the only one on the outside, they have also tried other combinations, but unfortunately, the effect is average.

All in all, this Heat outside line is a bit of a hole for the team.

The official media also complained that the Heat's current outside line is almost all recruited by past marksmen, and these old men are characterized by stability, and at critical moments, these people can play an unexpected role.

But the shortcomings of these veterans are also obvious, that is, before the critical moment, the threat power of these people can basically drop by several levels.

Compared with those convulsive players who shoot as soon as they get the ball, and how to throw it, the scoring explosiveness of these veterans is indeed a little worse.

At the time of the official timeout, the Spurs continued to lay out new tactics.

"Coach, I'll go up in a moment." Qin Yan asked to fight again, sitting on the bench and watching the Heat and the gang play, his heart itched.

"No, you continue to sit, it's not time yet, Kehuai, you will be on in a while!"

Popovich denied Qin Yan's request to fight, and then signaled to Leonard to let him get ready to play.

Although Leonard didn't look expressionless on his face, a closer look at his body movements could reveal some clues.

The young man was still very excited, especially his slightly trembling shoulders and hands, which told people that his heart was not so calm.

He knew that his next task would not be easy, or rather, it would be a very difficult one:

One-on-one single defense James!

For Leonard, he has been fighting on the defensive front line since he was confirmed as the team's new defensive core last season, and he has basically been the leading scorer for every team.

In the past two seasons, he has defended Durant, Anthony, and Kobe...... The leading scorer for every team in the league has basically defended them individually, and he has had the experience of successfully limiting them.

However, there is only one person who he has not defended and successfully restrained, and that person is James.

Last season, Leonard and James had already played each other, but at that time, it was really not a single defense, and it was basically a co-defense with teammates, especially Qin Yan often cooperated with him. (Later, Qin Yan was injured in the finals, and it was Duncan who cooperated with the defense)

In Leonard's view, as the core of the team's defense, he must have the ability to defend any main scorer one-on-one, if he always wants his teammates to help defend, that is his responsibility, defense is his ability to settle down, and he can't rely on others!

Therefore, if you don't cross the mountain of James, Leonard himself will feel a little difficult in his heart, and his state of mind will not be perfect.

"Come on Kehuai, you can do it!"

"Come on, kick that guy's ass!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Fight well! ”

"Go up and get back to the field!"

……

Leonard replaced Green, of course, who was "ravaged" by James, and everyone cheered him on, after all, defending James alone, this task is indeed very difficult, for so many years, it seems that Pierce and Artest have done it before.

Green and Leonard high-fived and joked, "Fight well and avenge me." Then he was led aside by the team doctor, and after being hit so many times, it was obvious that Green was a little uncomfortable.

Don't get hurt, it's just the first Finals, and if Green is injured, the Spurs will suffer a big loss.

The two teams came back, the Heat went down, Lewis came up, Oden's performance on the inside just now was very bad, it was better to change Lewis to come up with one more outside firepower point.

James naturally saw that the Spurs had replaced Leonard, and he couldn't help frowning for a while.

The two boys on the Spurs' side made him very unhappy, one was this iceberg facial paralysis, and the other was the Chinese kid, to be honest, James was not very willing to fight these two, it was too hard.

Leonard seemed to sense James' gaze, and he raised his head and met James without fear.

When the eyes of the two met, there were already sparks and lightning "crackling" and burning in the air.

"Strange, why do you suddenly feel a little hot?" Dio wiped his head, and there were beads of sweat on it, you must know that they had just come up from the bench and had not started playing yet!

"I have to tell the boss when I go back that the air conditioning in the stadium is really broken......
