Barnes did not perform well, but Deng Fang did not call a timeout for substitutions, but instead allowed him to stay on the court.
Although he played the entire first quarter with the Splash Brothers, Barnes still muttered in his heart:
Does the head coach want to see more of my performance?
My performance was not good throughout the first quarter. Will Deng Fang abandon me in the second half?
I'm just a rookie after all!
Compared with Curry and Klay, my shooting is indeed not that accurate!
Do you want to continue investing?
…
In the third quarter, Barnes still started, which gave him reassurance and made his shots more decisive.
Deng Fang's meaning is very obvious, that is, he completely trusts himself!
So what else are you thinking about? Just vote!
Of course, you have to look for shooting feel, especially when you miss several shots in a row.
The third quarter started with two consecutive missed shots, but Deng Fang still did not call a timeout for substitutions, which reassured Barnes even more.
The head coach has so much confidence in me, so why should I be afraid?
Barnes' shooting became more decisive.
The Cavaliers had just launched a fast break counterattack. Hayward quickly sent a baseline ball. Curry passed the ball directly to Barnes in the frontcourt. In front of Barnes was Bosh. After receiving the ball, he did not hesitate and pushed against the ball.
He rushed up!
Bosh didn't expect that Barnes would hit hard. He also jumped up to block the shot, but he was still a step too slow.
As Barnes dunked the ball into the basket, Bosh slapped him on the arm.
With a "beep" sound, the referee's whistle sounded.
The ball goes in and a penalty is added!
Barnes came to the free throw line and hit the ball steadily.
Looking back, the Heat's offense failed and the Warriors attacked, but the Heat still let Barnes go.
Curry passed the ball to Barnes. Without hesitation, Barnes raised his hand and threw it!
The basketball hits the net!
Three points are valid!
Barnes scored 6 points in a row!
It's obvious that Barnes' confidence is back, and so is his shooting touch!
If the head coach trusts him so much, why shouldn't he dare to shoot?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t invest, if you invest, you will make money. Where can you find such a good thing?
Just do it and it’s done!
Of course, a dunk and free throw also helped Barnes regain his touch.
The game continues.
Spoelstra didn't believe in evil, so the Heat still shorted Barnes, but Barnes no longer hesitated and shot very decisively, three-pointers one after another!
This is the power of confidence, this is the benefit of decisiveness!
Of course, the more important reason is that Barnes' shooting is already good!
Deng Fang knew this in his heart!
If it were Jordan Jordan, he would not do this even if he killed Deng Fang!
This is the advantage of traveling through time, Deng Fang knows the true level of a player.
In just over three minutes, Barnes hit four three-pointers in a row. Counting the two plus one, he scored 15 points!
The score difference immediately became 5 points!
Spoelstra called a timeout with a sullen face.
What is supposed to come will come sooner or later!
In the first half, I enjoyed the benefit of Barnes's inability to make a shot, but now I have to bear the price of Barnes' hot touch!
After the timeout, the Heat no longer shorted Barnes.
There is no way, Barnes at this moment is comparable to Curry in hot form!
Now that Barnes has taken the shot, the only choice is to give up the previous defensive strategy.
This is the moment Curry has been waiting for!
So does Clay!
For Curry, double-teaming is a common occurrence, and playing with two big men on his body is normal.
Once no one is flanking, or the opponent is hesitant to flank, that's Curry's chance!
Curry threw two three-pointers in a row, but neither scored.
After finally getting a chance to take action, Curry was still a little uncomfortable with it.
James took advantage of this opportunity and threw in a three-pointer, widening the point difference a little.
Spoelstra's hanging heart could finally rest for a while.
Who knew that Curry would explode immediately!
There are times when Curry can't make a shot, but you can't relax your defense on Curry!
Otherwise you will definitely have to pay the price!
That's the most accurate shooter in NBA history and the most perverted person!
James had just made a three-pointer, and before he finished his domineering celebration gesture, the Warriors quickly sent a baseline ball and passed the ball to Curry near the midline.
Curry caught the ball, took a step forward, raised his hand and shot!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Um?
not good!
Spoelstra was very alert and just about to call a timeout. Unexpectedly, the Heat also quickly sent a baseline ball and threw the ball to James in the frontcourt.
James dribbles straight to the basket, and in front of him is Yao Ming!
James jumped up and wanted to dunk. Yao Ming was not afraid, stretched out his arm and slapped the ball away!
It doesn't matter how high you jump, I'm waiting for you in the air!
Every inch is longer and every inch is stronger!
Of course, Yao Ming did this at the risk of fouling.
After all, this is the home court of the Heat, and he is facing the Emperor after all...
Fortunately, the pace of the game was so fast that the referee had no time to think too much!
The most important thing is that Yao Ming's hat is so clean that the referee is too embarrassed to blow the whistle.
It was a clean block, but the Heat were still in the lead. Why did the referee have the nerve to help?
Hayward caught the flying basketball and threw the ball directly to Curry in the frontcourt.
Curry was still two steps away from the three-point line, but he didn't hesitate, raised his hand and shot!
As long as you feel it, distance doesn't matter at all!
The basketball flew through a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
The Heat's lead is only 2 points!
With a dark face, Spoelstra signaled Chalmers to dribble the ball into the frontcourt, wanting to call a timeout.
Generally speaking, this is the case unless it is particularly urgent.
Dribbling the ball into the frontcourt to call a timeout can create more tactical coordination.
What coordination can be achieved with serving from the backcourt?
But Spoelstra was still careless.
Mike Miller served to Chalmers. Curry had his back to the basket. Unexpectedly, he suddenly turned around and intercepted the ball!
Curry's steals are also top-notch!
After scoring a goal, he goes back to defend and suddenly turns around to steal the ball. This is what Curry often does!
Especially in the third quarter, after Curry came and felt it!
Neither Mike Miller nor Chalmers expected that!
Curry just made a three-pointer, and he has already turned around. We will call a timeout immediately after serving. How did you do this?
Elementary school students don’t talk about martial arts!
Curry grabbed the basketball, glanced at Mike Miller under the basket, and immediately ran toward the top of the key.
Chalmers feels bad!
In fact, it is normal for Curry to do this, and most guards will do it.
As a small defender, even if you steal the ball and there are two people in the frontcourt, what can you do?
You don’t have to wait for your teammates to come up, arrange tactics, and organize the next attack!
But the person who steals the ball now is Curry!
Curry is still in good shape!
Chalmers chased after him like crazy!
Chalmers was fast, but he was still one step late!
Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line, turned around, didn't even look at the basket, raised his hand and shot!
As soon as the basketball was released, Chalmers pounced on him!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
At the same time, Curry was also thrown to the ground by Chalmers.
The referee's whistle also sounded.
Three points are valid, plus one penalty!
Curry came to the free throw line and made the free throw steadily.
Three plus one!
In less than two minutes, Curry scored three three-pointers in a row, directly leading the score!
