After Boris Diaw grabbed a backcourt rebound and Chen Feng dribbled the ball past halftime, Popovich decisively called a timeout.
In more than four minutes after the timeout, the Spurs only made three shots and scored 8 points with consecutive shots and free throws. Although the Heat did not set off a scoring frenzy, they still scored 11 points. The score between the two sides at this time was 74.
:67, the Heat are only 7 points behind the Spurs.
When the Heat suddenly began to strengthen their defense, the score difference of the Miami Heat in the away game further narrowed the point difference.
"The Heat are indeed a powerful team. They have caught up with the score in such a short period of time. Director Zhang, what do you think the Spurs need most right now?" host Yu Jia asked Zhang Lili.
"Currently, what the Spurs need to do most is to stabilize their morale. Since they are leading the score, they should adjust their rhythm and let the rhythm on the court follow them. During this period, the Spurs' offense is not very reasonable. They cannot play inside.
"Okay, the players are all wandering on the outside, which is very unreasonable for the Spurs, who have a huge advantage inside." Zhang Lili analyzed it very 'reasonably'.
In fact, aside from Zhang's reasonable habits, his analysis is still very reasonable. Recently, the Spurs have indeed lost their advantage inside. It's not that Favors and Duncan are not on the court, but that the ball cannot be handed over.
in their hands.
For this reason, Spurs head coach Popovich called a timeout to criticize the players' style of play.
Wade came on the field with more than five minutes left in the third quarter. At this time, the Heat's main players were already assembled.
The Spurs attacked, and Chen Feng held the ball past half court and handed the ball over to McGrady. McGrady broke through with the ball, faced Mario Chalmers' defense, and made a jump shot with a sudden "clang", which was final.
Mario Chalmers picked up a floor ball.
Mario Chalmers quickly brought the ball across the half court, and his first passing target was Wade.
However, from the moment Wade came on the court, Chen Feng has been firmly by his side. At this moment, Popovich naturally handed over the responsibility of defending Wade to Chen Feng. And other Spurs players can play at any time.
Front clip protection.
Wade broke through with the ball, attracted the player's defense, and quickly handed the ball to Chris Bosh.
At this time, Chris Bosh was open. However, his shot failed to hit. Chen Feng fought for a defensive rebound.
Kawhi Leonard's mid-range shot missed. The ball returned to the Heat again. Wade, who still had huge hands, grabbed the defensive rebound.
In these two attacks, both sides' mid-range shooting percentages were not good. However, both sides were able to protect their own rebounds.
Mario Chalmers succeeded in a sneak attack from outside the three-point line, and the Heat finally broke the scoreless deadlock, reducing the difference between the two sides to 4 points.
Popovich immediately called a timeout.
Kawhi Leonard's overall shooting percentage today is not high. So far, he has only made six of fourteen shots. However, his performance on the three-point line is amazing. So far in the game, he has made only six three-pointers.
Four out of five.
After the timeout, Kawhi Leonard continued his previous performance. After a simple pick-and-roll with Chen Feng, he hit a three-pointer from the baseline.
Cole, who replaced Mario Chalmers, dribbled the ball past halftime without too much stick on the ball, and quickly handed the ball to Wade. At this time, Wade was only surrounded by Chen Feng, although he was not far away.
There are other Spurs players watching, but compared to the previous double-team, the situation is much better.
A step back widened the distance between the two. Wade made a lob and the ball quickly passed over Chen Feng's head. LeBron James turned around and hit a jumper.
…………
There were thirty-seven seconds left in the third quarter. Chen Feng sped up the tempo and tried to get another offensive opportunity after the end of this attack.
Chen Feng cleverly dribbled the ball past Wade and used his super explosive power to squeeze past Wade. At the same time, the ball was quickly passed out and accurately handed to the baseline Kawhi Leonard, who easily threw the ball
Go in, he rarely misses such a shot.
With thirty-two seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Heat attacked.
Wade broke through with the ball, took advantage of Cole's pick-and-roll, and shot from mid-range. Unfortunately, the ball was short and hit the front edge of the hoop. It bounced back and the rebound was grabbed by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng protected the ball and then slowly walked towards the Heat half court. There were still twenty-three seconds left, and Chen Feng was definitely going to use up the last twenty-three seconds.
Time passed by second by second, and beads of sweat broke out on Chen Feng's forehead, but he didn't care about it. At this moment, Wade was standing in front of him with great readiness, trying his best to prevent this last ball.
Suddenly, Chen Feng moved because there were only the last eight seconds left before the end of the third quarter.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball, and then passed it to McGrady. After McGrady caught the ball from the baseline, he deceived Mario Chalmers Fisher with a fake move, and then dribbled toward the basket.
Birdman Anderson saw this and immediately made up for it.
At this time, Duncan of the Spurs naturally became available.
McGrady flipped his hand and the ball was already in Duncan's hands. The latter shouted loudly and then slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
Duncan grabbed the frame with both hands, and the basket was shaking. The entire audience was shocked by his dunk. The Spurs' last wave of offense was so perfect, so clever, and so incredible.
With Duncan's dunk success, the third quarter ended.
At the end of the three quarters, the Spurs led the Heat by 9 points, 86:77, entering the fourth quarter, which was the last quarter of Game 3 of the Finals.
Previously, the Spurs had been forced into a desperate situation by the Heat, and the point difference was once narrowed to 2 points. However, at the critical moment, the Spurs strengthened their defense, Derrick Favors on the inside, Kawhi Leonard on the striker and defenders.
On the line, Chen Feng and the three of them formed a strong defensive barrier, preventing the Heat's counterattack in one fell swoop.
Then, McGrady and Derrick Favors under the basket began to score, slowly widening the point difference. It was not until the end of the third quarter that the Spurs finally widened the point difference to 9 points.
Although they are only 9 points ahead of their opponents, it can be said that the situation on the court is now on the Spurs' side. It will not be easy for the Heat to start a point-chasing battle again.
In the first three quarters, Miami Heat's Wade gained a lot. Although his 16 points were less than the previous two games, his 7 assists in the three quarters were the biggest change for Wade in this game.
Chen Feng, who is facing off against Wade, has already scored 18 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds in the first three quarters. This performance is a little better than Wade.
It didn't take long for the fourth quarter to begin.
However, in the first half of the fourth quarter, both sides sent out substitute players.
The game lasted almost five minutes in the fourth quarter, and both sides began to gradually change their starting lineups. By the time Chen Feng and other main players came on the court, the Spurs still held a nearly double-digit lead.
Under Cole's tight defense, Chen Feng slowly brought the ball across the half court. In just a short period of time, Cole tried to sneak attack several times, but failed.
Cole still has some experience in stealing, and he also knows the timing of stealing very well. For such a player, the timing must be very careful. Once he makes a move easily, he will give the opponent a chance to get rid of him easily, and he clearly knows that
Once he loses his position, with Chen Feng's dribbling speed, he simply cannot keep up with his pace.
Wade saw him passing halftime and immediately stepped forward to double-team him. Unexpectedly, Parker's position became vacant. Chen Feng passed the ball skillfully. Parker quickly broke through the center line and hit the free throw line.
.
Spoelstra shook his head in disappointment. He had just made up his mind to double-team Chen Feng and was already prepared. However, the mistake just now was not so much Wade's mistake as the team's rotation defense.
loopholes.
James organized the offense and made a wonderful pass to Chris Bosh in the paint.
Chris Bosh squeezed Tim Duncan away and then made a backhand layup. Although Tim Duncan interfered, the ball still entered the basket.
Parker's shot missed, and Derrick Favors, who was blocked by the opponent, watched helplessly as James picked off the rebound.
During this period, although the Heat were lacking in physical strength, they showed a strong ability to switch defenses and used two players to double-team Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng can still dribble the ball calmly, he can no longer sprint to the opponent's inside line, and it is also difficult to organize an effective offense.
The opponent's quick rotation defense did not allow the Spurs to take advantage. Several attacks were very reluctant. In two minutes, they only relied on free throws to score three points.
The Heat, with their two superstars in Wade and James, were able to attack very smoothly, scoring a 7:3 victory.
Popovich called a timeout in time. When Chen Feng was unable to perform, the team's offense suffered a great setback. Of course, this was related to the fact that several main players did not come up.
Therefore, Popovich did not blame the players too much for their offense. Facing a situation where the lead was close to double digits, it was barely understandable for the players to slack off for a while.
The reason why he was able to play such a wonderful game just now was basically a reflection of Chen Feng's personal strength. In fact, until the fourth quarter of the game, the players have not really entered the state and have not shown the strength of the team at all.
"Facing a strong team like the Heat, although we are still leading the score, the point difference has become smaller and smaller. We must go all out to win this game. You know, we have already won consecutive games in this series.
Two losses. We are getting further and further away from the championship!"
