Zhao Feiyang, who was not on the lineup, was a little depressed.
After the third quarter started, he sat on the bench and became a spectator, silently watching the fierce battle on the field.
In this quarter, the Heat strengthened their defense, especially the defense on the back line. The main point of attack is placed on the Big Three, with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade as the main players, allowing them to use them as firepower to pursue their opponents.
The competition was quite intense.
The Big Three continued to work together to score points. In the first half of the third quarter, relying on such cooperation really helped the Heat recover some points.
But after the second half, the Spurs continued to change their lineups to consume the physical energy of the Big Three.
As a result, the Big Three's physical energy consumption was serious, and their touch gradually declined, especially the long-range shots of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Neither of them could make a single three-pointer during this period.
The Spurs also used such opportunities to continuously open up the score. Until the end of the third quarter with 3 minutes left, the point difference between the two sides had widened to 14 points.
During this period, Zhao Feiyang kept applying to head coach Erik Spoelstra, but was rejected by the latter.
On the field.
The Spurs attack with the ball.
Danny Green, who felt good in the second half, also took frequent shots. He caught the ball at the top of the arc and did not panic at all even when facing Dwyane Wade.
The two faced each other, and Danny Green entered the paint under the cover of Tony Parker. After a jump step, he threw the ball into the basket against Chris Bosh's defense.
Uh-huh.
The point difference widened to 16 points.
The Heat fought back.
The ball passed half-time. Mario Chalmers was double-teamed by the opponent. He was suddenly intercepted while passing the ball to LeBron James. The basketball rolled out. The Spurs seized the opportunity and launched another counterattack. After the ball passed the half-time, , Danny Green dunked the ball into the basket.
These two goals demoralized the Heat.
It also made the tactics deployed by coach Eric Spoelstra ineffective.
Seeing that there were 1 minute and 30 seconds left on the clock, Coach Eric finally waved to Zhao Feiyang on the bench, "Zhao, get ready."
"Fuck!"
"Finally it's my turn!"
Zhao Feiyang was extremely excited. After briefly shaking hands with Dwayne Wade, who was replaced, he walked towards the court.
The Heat serve.
Mario Chalmers holds the ball.
Zhao Feiyang was full of confidence and waited for Mario Chalmers at half court. The Spurs intercepted near the midline. Upon seeing this, Zhao Feiyang immediately went up to pick and roll to cover, and Mario Chalmers escaped smoothly.
After arriving at the half court, Zhao Feiyang finally got rid of Danny Green who was guarding him, but Mario Chalmers was unwilling to pass the ball.
"Man...here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mario Chalmers had already entered the two zones to take action.
As the team's main point guard, Mario Chalmers has good skills. Of course, the most distinctive thing is his mentality.
He is the kind of player that "even if you are a superstar, the labor force is not inferior to you".
He can even deny face to a superstar like LeBron James, let alone Zhao Feiyang, who has just arrived!
boom.
Mario Chalmers' shot hit the backboard and bounced out of the basket.
The rebound was taken away by the Spurs.
Zhao Feiyang was speechless, and complained in his heart as he ran, "Damn it! Brother, why are you hitting so hard? Breakthroughs also depend on timing! You dare to make a wild shot even if there are two people inside you? It's weird if you don't lose with this special code. ..."
At halftime, the Spurs, who passed by on a fast break, succeeded in an alley-oop dunk and scored another goal.
In the remaining time, Zhao Feiyang tried to get the ball several times, but unfortunately he failed to get the ball. Until the end of the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang did not have a chance to shoot.
"grass!"
"What a cheating thing! It was a waste of more than a minute of experience card time..."
Zhao Feiyang cursed and walked off the field.
Before the final quarter, the huge point difference made the entire Heat team confused. As the head coach, Erik Spoelstra has no other tactics available. He has tried several changes, but unfortunately they have not achieved very good results.
The core players, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, sat in the team bench without saying a word due to serious physical exertion.
The substitutes were even more listless.
It seemed like the entire team was giving up.
It's not that everyone doesn't work hard, it's that they have tried too many methods, but they still find that the Spurs are much better than they imagined.
"Guys, cheer up!"
"We haven't lost yet... we still have a chance to make a comeback..."
Just when the whole team fell into despair, Zhao Feiyang stood up decisively. He walked directly to head coach Erik Spoelstra and said these words to the other players.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, not only did no one cheer up, but someone stood up and ridiculed him.
The person who made the sarcasm was Mario Chalmers. He didn't look good. Because of his wasteful shooting in the second half, he was scolded by head coach Erik Spoelstra when he just came off the field.
"Interesting!"
“A rookie coming into the league to teach us what to do?”
"Zhao, it seems that you are very eager to fight... In this case, I think it is better to let you fight alone in the last quarter... Maybe you can move God and use three Crush them with the ball..."
Before Mario Chalmers could finish his words, team leader LeBron James stopped him.
"Hey! Don't say that, man... We are a unit and we shouldn't be fighting among ourselves at times like this..."
The team bosses all spoke, but Mario Chalmers didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he stopped talking for a while.
Zhao Feiyang didn't care so much and took this opportunity to continue talking to the head coach Eric, "Coach, let everyone take a rest! I still have physical strength, and I think my condition is not bad, at least in the last quarter. During the first half of the period, I can go up and give it a try..."
Ray Allen on the side also raised his hand.
"Coach, I can do it too...LeBron and the others have been playing for too long and now they need to rest. Zhao and I can lead the second team to hold on for a while..."
Seeing that the two of them were speaking truthfully, Coach Eric finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"good."
"You guys go up and try it first...LeBron, take the time to rest, we can't give up the game yet, this is our home court..."
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded again.
The final quarter begins.
Zhao Feiyang finally got the chance he had dreamed of!
The moment he stepped onto the court, he also whispered a few words to Ray Allen, "Ray, pass the ball to me when you get the chance... Now I have endless power in my body..." ....”
"Man, I'm going to let you see a different me...just keep your eyes open and wait and see!"
