No matter how loudly you talk, if you want to really stand up, you have to rely on your performance on the court!
Hard power is the foundation of everything!
Achievements are the best proof!
In the competitive arena, the winner always takes all!
As long as you win the game, even your farts will taste good!
Deng Fang knew this truth, so he dared to brag all day long.
Because the Warriors are far stronger than other teams!
I am better than you, what can you do?
Not convinced?
Hold it in!
…
At 7 pm on June 11, 2013, the third game between the Warriors and the Heat officially started at the American Airlines Arena.
The Heat once again made adjustments to the starting lineup, with Chalmers, Wade, Ray Allen, Battier and James playing.
Spoelstra didn't even want Bosh, he brought the mini-five, and James played center!
The Heat's intention is very obvious. Didn't the Warriors ask Curry to fight one-on-one? Then I don't want a center and I will fight you to the death!
Ray Allen is slow, but he won't be that slow at the beginning.
In addition, the Heat also asked James to guard Curry and Battier to guard the inside.
Spoelstra thought very well. Draymond Green has no offensive power in the paint anyway, so it doesn't matter whoever defends him.
The Warriors' starting lineup is the same as the last game, Curry, Clay, Barnes, Tucker and Draymond Green.
Deng Fang didn't expect that the Heat would do this, and they didn't even want Bosh!
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and James followed closely.
Barnes came up to pick and roll with Curry, but Ray Allen didn't come out at all. James squeezed past Barnes and chased Curry.
Anyway, I'm taller than you and have enough strength. Barnes can't block people well, so I just squeeze through and see what you can do?
Want to force us to switch defenses?
impossible!
James was chasing closely. Curry didn't expect the Heat to be so defensive. He hesitated for a moment, but was immediately poked by James behind him and knocked the ball away.
When James picked up the basketball, it was a fast break dunk.
Deng Fang immediately called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Splash Brothers and Draymond Green came off the court, and Ariza, Azubuike and Yao Ming came on!
Aren’t you a mini-five? Then I’ll go to Yao Ming!
Let me see who you use to defend Yao Ming!
Is it James or Shane Battier?
Pincer attack?
Then our four outside shooters will be happy!
Deng Fang's substitution caught the Heat off guard!
The Splash Brothers only fought for one round and were gone in less than a minute!
Deng Fang, what are you doing?
Just kidding?
Deng Fang's move was very effective, and the Heat's plan was immediately disrupted.
Yao Ming asked for the ball in the penalty area and Battier defended. Yao Ming ignored the opponent at all and raised his hand to shoot!
Shane raised his hand indicatively without saying much.
There is no way, the height difference is too big, Yao Ming is too big a threat in the penalty area, if Battier jumps up to block the shot, the result will be even worse!
Yao Ming and Battier have been teammates, and Battier knows Yao Ming's power.
Yao Ming's mid-range shot was very stable, and the basketball went hollow into the net.
Looking back, the Warriors are defending a zone, with Yao Ming sitting in the penalty area, four people outside defending, and Wade and James taking a step back!
Chalmers, Ray Allen and Battier cannot shoot three-pointers, the other two are free!
Anyway, there is no need to think about restricted areas!
The Warriors' defense makes the Heat very uncomfortable.
James and Wade could only test their touch on the outside and couldn't cooperate at all.
On the other hand, the Warriors' perimeter is constantly open, with three-pointers coming one after another!
In three minutes, the Warriors went on a 16-5 run, leading by double digits.
Spoelstra had to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Heat replaced Wade and brought in Bosh.
No matter how bad Bosh is, he is still a power forward, and he is better than James and Battier if he can support Yao Ming.
Unexpectedly, Deng Fang replaced the Splash Brothers and won Yao Ming and Azubuike!
You have Ray Allen and Bosh on the court, why don’t I bring Curry?
What we play is heartbeat!
If you go to the inside line, I will go to the outside line. If you go to five people, I will go to the inside line. See who is afraid of whom!
My inside players can kill you, and my outside players can shoot you to death as well!
The Heat were caught off guard again.
Curry and Tucker were on a pick-and-roll, and Bosh switched defenses in front of Curry. Curry didn't hesitate at all, just feinted and raised his hand to shoot!
Bosh rushed over like a reflex!
Although Bosh has height, he is an inside player after all. He cannot keep up with his footsteps and his speed is slow. Curry has already thrown the ball before he pounces on it!
The basketball went hollow into the net, and Bosh also pounced on Curry.
The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.
Three-pointers are valid, and one penalty will be added if the ball is scored!
The game continues.
The Heat also wanted Bosh to play singles in the penalty area, but the defense of Barnes, Tucker and others did not give Bosh a chance at all!
Even if the single defense effect of Barnes and others is not bad, let alone someone coming to attack from a flank!
Of course, Bosh has the ability to pass the ball, but the Warriors are not afraid!
I'll let James go and let's see what you do!
The Warriors defender was three meters away from James and ignored him at all!
If five people defend four, it will be useless no matter how great you are!
Fortunately, James felt good and hit two three-pointers, which eased the situation.
But within two minutes, Curry immediately responded with two three-pointers, and then assisted Klay with a three-pointer and two dunks!
The score difference instantly widened to 20 points!
The Heat made another substitution and switched to a smaller lineup.
Unexpectedly, Deng Fang also replaced Yao Ming and won Curry!
Spoelstra frowned, feeling extremely depressed!
One wrong step, one wrong step!
There is no way, who can let the hard power be inferior to the opponent!
Soon, after the first quarter, the Warriors led by 23 points.
Yao Ming's 5 minutes were used up, Curry also played 7 minutes, no time was wasted!
Lowry and Kirilenko came on the scene in the second quarter, leading Ariza, Azubuike and Lopez Jr. to play.
The Heat's big three didn't get off the field, with Norris Cole and Mike Miller playing.
Spoelstra was furious and wanted to take advantage of the Splash Brothers' absence to get back the points difference.
The two teams started a tug-of-war.
After 5 minutes, Lowry and Kirilenko came off the court, and Hayward and Draymond Green came on.
Both Hayward and Draymond Green can control the ball and organize, and both of them defend very well, so the Warriors' offensive and defensive intensity has always been maintained at a high level.
The defense line composed of Azubuike, Ariza, Hayward, Draymond Green and Lopez Jr. is airtight, making it very difficult for the Heat to score in the penalty area.
As for shooting outside, James and Wade can shoot if they have the ability!
I believe it’s invested!
This is the established strategy of the Warriors, and Deng Fang has said it countless times.
Although the Heat's Big Three have remained on the court, the point difference has not narrowed much.
The Warriors' offensive efficiency was average, but the Heat couldn't score many points.
Soon, at the end of the first half, the Warriors led by 18 points.
Curry only played 7 minutes in the first half, and the Heat were still 18 points behind!
Looking at the scoreboard, Spoelstra's face was gloomy.
