Derrick Favors wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and replied to Popovich solemnly: "Greg, don't worry! I know what to do."
Popovich nodded, and then asked Chen Feng: "Chen, how are you resting now? Can you play?"
Chen Feng nodded without hesitation, "Greg, let me play now, I'll be fine."
"Okay, you and Patty go on the court together! You play the second position, so Patty can share the pressure on your organization, and you can play more relaxedly. Wait until the middle of the fourth quarter, and then
You adjust." Popovich arranged.
Chen Feng naturally has no objection to Popovich's arrangement.
Chen Feng himself is a shooting guard. His height is not a problem even for a small forward. What he is best at is scoring. Although point guard Chen Feng is good at playing, but really speaking, the one who is suitable for him is a shooting guard, point guard or even point guard.
Some of Chen Feng's characteristics are suppressed.
Soon, the intense fourth quarter began.
The first offensive opportunity was the Spurs'.
At this time, Wade and James have not returned to the court, so Chen Feng can take advantage of this opportunity to widen the point difference.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball and made a wonderful pass to Leonard under the basket. The latter jumped up directly after receiving the ball and dunked over Anderson.
"Bit", the referee blew the whistle first.
Immediately afterwards, a "bang" sounded in the arena again.
Two plus one.
Leonard made a free throw, but unfortunately, the free throw was missed and the rebound was protected by Birdman Anderson.
Just when Spurs fans thought that the situation on the field was gradually falling to the Spurs' side, the situation on the field changed again.
James came on the court. LeBron James suddenly hit a long three-pointer, tying the score again.
74:74
Chen Feng made a breakthrough and passed the ball to Ginobili, who succeeded in a layup.
Just when the Spurs were building momentum again, the Heat dealt them another painful blow.
Chris Bosh made consecutive inside shots and scored 4 points. Immediately afterwards, the Heat's outside line began to show its strength. Mario Chalmers, a guy who usually doesn't score many points, suddenly connected with LeBron James on the outside.
Hit two three-pointers.
Fortunately, Chen Feng broke into the paint and passed the ball inside to Boris Diaw, who hit a layup and then assisted Leonard to hit a three-pointer.
Three-pointers have also become the Heat's biggest advantage in this game. So far, they have made 10 of 17 shots, and their shooting percentage has exceeded 50%.
Of course, such a shooting rate cannot be maintained forever, but as long as they play close to this feeling, winning the game does not seem to be a big problem for them. Today, their purpose is very clear, that is, to win at home
game, ending the Spurs' four-game winning streak.
However, it is naturally impossible for the Spurs to take advantage of this situation.
…………
Chen Feng played LeBron James in the low post, and the two were mismatched. Although LeBron James had the advantage of height and weight, Chen Feng was not afraid.
After shaking LeBron James with a fake move, Chen Feng faced his body and shot for a layup.
With a "beep" sound, in this attack, Chen Feng first committed a defensive foul on LeBron James.
"Bang bang bang" "swish", the basketball stumbled on the rim a few times and finally fell.
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The game has been played for five minutes in the fourth quarter. During these five minutes, although Chen Feng did not play very difficult, he has consumed a lot of energy in order to help the team widen the point difference.
"Whoa", under the boos of the fans in the stadium, Chen Feng sent the free throw into the basket.
At this time, the Heat replaced Dwyane Wade, and at this time the Heat were playing with all their main players.
Seeing this, Spurs head coach Popovich quickly replaced Derrick Favors a minute later.
Now, with six minutes left in the game, both sides have replaced their main lineups.
Everyone knows that these last six minutes are the moment when the two giants decide the winner.
"You are almost exhausted now, aren't you? Let's see how you can stop me." Wade dribbled to Chen Feng and said to him coldly.
"As long as I'm still standing on the court, I will try my best to defend you." Chen Feng replied resolutely.
Wade waved to Chris Bosh, who quickly came up and set a screen.
Although Chen Feng's physical strength has been exhausted a lot, Wade still does not dare to forcefully eat him. Wade will not do anything he is not sure of easily.
After the pick-and-roll, Wade passed the ball to Chris Bosh.
As a pick-and-roll master, Chris Bosh naturally understands the true meaning of pick-and-roll. So in cooperation with Wade, he easily made a three-step layup and scored 2 points.
Chen Feng also started to look for his teammates. With the help of Ginobili's screen, he got to the basket and scored the ball with a throw before Anderson was on defense.
Today's Chen Feng can be said to have the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
84:81, the Spurs still lead by 3 points.
After Wade dribbled to the frontcourt, he suddenly faced Chen Feng's defense and shot without any reason.
With a "swish" sound, Chen Feng's eyes widened and he watched the basketball fall from the basket.
This is too unreasonable!
This goal made Chen Feng more deeply aware of Wade's ability.
As one of the league's signature players, Wade is naturally extremely capable.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and then took the baseline serve.
84:84, the two sides tied again.
In this quarter of the game, Chen Feng has played for nearly 8 minutes without even a second of rest. Now he is sweating profusely, and his entire jersey is soaked through.
Even now, if you twist the jersey with your hands, a lot of sweat will come out.
After Chen Feng came to the frontcourt with the ball, he handed the ball to Ginobili. He was very tired now, and he hoped that Ginobili could share his pressure at this time.
Ginobili lived up to his expectations. Facing Mario Chalmers' defense, Ginobili hit a jumper from the baseline.
What excites all Spurs players and fans even more is that this goal also caused a foul on Mario Chalmers.
The entire Spurs bench was in jubilation. They hugged each other excitedly and shouted.
Spurs head coach Popovich also shook his arms excitedly, but then he immediately calmed down.
At this time, the game entered a timeout.
When Chen Feng returned to the rest area, Popovich walked over and handed him a towel.
"Chen, you take a rest first." Popovich said to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took a towel and wiped it randomly, then nodded.
He is very tired now, and his physical strength has been almost exhausted. In the matchup with Wade, he has to try his best. Because if he doesn't try his best, Wade's performance will be even better.
After the timeout, the game continues.
Now, the lineups on both sides are:
Spurs: Patty Mills, Ginobili, Leonard, Boris Diaw, Derrick Favors;
Heat: Mario Chalmers, Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Birdman Anderson.
"Whoa", after Ginobili made the free throw, the Spurs retreated quickly.
For the Heat, LeBron James actually hit another three-pointer after receiving a pass from Wade.
At 87:87, the two teams tied again.
It's so wonderful, so wonderful.
This is the common thought in the hearts of all the fans who came to watch the game. This battle was really thrilling.
It happens one after another, and no one can imagine what the final outcome will be.
After Patty Mills received the ball, he dribbled the ball forward. But at this time, he suddenly discovered that the Heat had started to press the ball.
Of course, Patty Mills is not a rookie, and he can handle this tactic with ease.
Ginobili came to the top of the arc to receive the ball, and Patty Mills decisively passed the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili broke through with the ball and passed the ball to Boris Diaw under the basket. The latter posted up, leaned back, and then passed the ball to Derrick Favors. Derrick
-Favors roared, squeezed Birdman Anderson behind him, and then took action.
However, his shot was blocked by Heat small forward LeBron James.
Fortunately, Ginobili grabbed the offensive rebound and once again passed the ball to Derrick Favors. This time, Derrick Favors made up for it and hit a hook shot.
Go ahead by 2 points, the Spurs go ahead by 2 points!
The game continued for more than two minutes in the fourth quarter. During this period, the Spurs played very well together and firmly maintained the 2-point lead. This is Spurs basketball!
After Ginobili hit a mid-range shot, the Spurs opened the point difference to 4 points.
At this time, there were only two minutes left in the game, and Spoelstra finally couldn't help but request a timeout.
After the timeout, Chen Feng naturally came on the court and replaced Patty Mills.
Wade stared at Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng pressed hard to defend him, he still carried the ball steadily across the half court.
After looking around at the positions of his teammates, Wade then directed his teammates to run and cover. Under Wade's command, the Heat players all spread out.
Wade glanced at Chris Bosh, who immediately understood and pulled up to create a pick-and-roll for Wade.
Under the screen of Chris Bosh, Wade pulled to the other side of the three-point line, then jumped up and passed the ball. James received the ball and shot a three-pointer.
