The Spurs' starting lineup has made some adjustments, center Nestrovic, power forward Duncan, small forward Michael Finley, shooting guard Stephen, point guard Tony Parker, Heat are center O'Neal, power forward Haslem, small forward Antoine Walker, shooting guard Wade, and point guard Jason Williams.

**Vic put Nestrovic in the center position, and wanted to use his height and experience to slightly limit O'Neal, and at the same time free Duncan and let Duncan concentrate on playing against Haslem. This will make both sides have their own advantages in playing against each other.

At the same time, letting Stephen switch to the shooting guard position is also to allow him to better target Wade. Not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. If Stephen faces Wade, he also has the advantage of height. At the same time, Wade is not a very excellent defender. If he puts his energy into defense, then he will invest less energy on the offensive end.

As for Michael Finley's disadvantage against Antoine Walker, there is no way. You can't be in every position. The Spurs are not able to play against players like Antoine Walker. Stephen used to defend. Although the effect is very good, facing Wade, who is more threatening, **Vic had to choose to let Stephen deal with Wade and put Antoine Walker aside.

Michael Finley's defense is not bad, but **Vic still hopes that he can devote most of his energy to offense. Facing the atmosphere and situation of the team's inside line, **Vic is also very happy to see that he has returned to normal under Duncan's adjustment. In his heart, he is willing to play their greatest role. He still trusts veterans like Michael Finley.

There is no change in the Heat. Unless there is an injury, there is basically no change in this lineup. There is no one to replace them. Although their lineup is also very good, Capono, Derek Anderson and several others are injured. Unlike the Spurs, all twelve people can play.

When Nestrovic jumped, he beat O'Neal, but the ball was transferred to the Heat. After Antoine Walker got the ball, he saw that there was no one around him and ran towards the half. This was intentional show-off, thinking that he twisted and shook his big butt. His dribbling posture was very good. He saw Michaelphine approaching him and passed the ball to Jason Williams.

Jason Williams is called "white chocolate". That's because his passes are gorgeous and elusive, but his stability has always been questioned. So the Kings exchanged him for Michael Beeby. In the Grizzlies, he met Hubby Brown, the head coach who often criticized him on TV. Due to his attitude, his relationship with the team's assistant coach Hubby Brown's son was also very disharmonious (using his son as an assistant coach is everywhere in the league, like Adelman's son), and was eventually sent to Miami by the team.

However, after coming to the Miami Heat, Jason Williams met O'Neal, who had always been the biggest enemy. O'Neal had a very good impression of him. He had seen Jason Williams easily explode Penny Hardaway when he was young, so he kept encouraging and guiding him.

Under O'Neal's words and deeds, Jason Williams's style of play has changed drastically, with fewer extra movements that are too gorgeous and practical, more penetrating passes, and devoted their efforts to defend and stay away from marijuana and everything that is not conducive to career. Slowly, Jason Williams returned to form.

Conciseness and efficiency have become his new logo. He handed the ball to his teammates with the simplest movement in the shortest time. Although he didn't have many assists, he completed the transition from gorgeous to practical and efficient, with a high long shot shooting percentage and a very good breakthrough. He made the famous Gary Payton his substitute.

After receiving the pass from Antoine Walker, Jason Williams did not let the ball stay in his hand at all, but used his left hand to follow the ball along the way in the air. The ball changed its flight and flew to Haslem. Since Duncan also wanted to help defend O'Neal, the distance from Haslem was a little further away, and Jason Williams passed it to Haslem.

After receiving the pass, Haslem immediately raised the ball high and made a ready to take action. Duncan knew that it would be easy to relax his defense against O'Neal, but he could not let Haslem shoot at an empty shot. He could only hope that Nestrovic could perform better, so he turned around and rushed towards Haslem.

Hasmus did not stop his movements because of this, but instead turned the shot into a pass, hanging the ball high to O'Neal, who had already exposed his fierce teeth. After O'Neal received the ball, he immediately leaned back. After only a moment, he squeezed out the space for his attack, then jumped up a small hook and hooked the ball into the basket.

After scoring the goal, O'Neal took a relaxed pace on the court. Now he rarely shows everyone his signature tyrannical steps, because in his heart, he feels that he is no longer a fierce and unparalleled Tyrannosaurus Rex. Time has long been overwhelmed by his body. The pressure brought by the huge weight on the lower limbs is unimaginable to ordinary people, let alone he has to run and jump. So his current pace is just a prove to everyone that I can defeat my opponent easily, and I am not old yet.

**Vicy shouted loudly at Nestrovic off the court, making a gesture of pushing up in her hand. He could see the ball clearly just now. Nestrovic didn't use all his strength at all. He just pushed it in a coping manner and retreated, which made **Vicy extremely angry.

He communicated with him before the game, and he promised himself that he would definitely work hard. Unexpectedly, he still did not work hard on the court. How could **Vic tolerate it? It was not that the game had just begun, but the first round, and **Vic wanted to replace Nestrovic.

Nestrovic lowered his head and ran on the court without any reaction. This time he did not deliberately violate the coach's instructions, but he was involuntarily timid and afraid to fight against O'Neal, so he naturally made a concessionate reaction. In fact, when **Vic communicated with him, he wanted to play well and live up to the head coach's trust in himself, and at the same time he also fought for another ring to win a championship for himself.

So when **Vicy shouted at him, although he did not react at all, he clenched his fists and made up his mind that when he met O'Neal again, he must do his best to show himself.

After the half, Tony Parker dribbled the ball directly to Duncan, who was raised to the free throw line. Under Haslem's entanglement, Duncan tried several times and found that Haslem's feet were very solid. Although he could easily break through with his height, footsteps and skills, there was still O'Neal waiting there. Duncan didn't want to face O'Neal so quickly, so he pressed his way inside, then hit the ball and handed it back to Tony Parker.

Seeing that Duncan had no intention of playing forcing, Tony Parker followed the team's tactics and controlled the ball and ran towards Duncan, using Duncan's pick-and-roll to block Jason Williams beside him, but Haslem's reaction was also very fast and immediately blocked Tony Parker.

Tony Parker's long shot has no sight, and the throwing requires a certain amount of space, and the breakthrough lacks changes. Facing Haslem, he does not have a good way of dealing with it, and other teammates do not have a good chance, so he has to pass the ball back to Duncan. At this time, Hasler's mother and Jason Williams have already switched positions, and Duncan's chance is not very good either.

Duncan moved the ball to the other side to facilitate cooperation with Michael Finley. The Heat changed positions against Michael Finley and Stephen's defense. Wade was against Michael Finley. Wade was an opportunity to pester Michael Finley desperately and prevent Michael Finley from cooperating with Duncan.

At this time, Duncan raised the ball over his head and turned his back to the basket. It seemed that he either passed the ball to Michael Finley or handed it to Tony Parker on the other side. Who knew that he suddenly threw the ball into the direction of another bottom corner of the court with a backhand.

That position happened to be Stephen's position. Stephen just used a quick back run to get rid of Antoine Walker's defense. Duncan found this opportunity as if his eyes were on the back of his head and immediately passed the ball over, which was just right.

After Stephen received the ball, he didn't need to dribble at all. This was the most suitable attack method for Stephen. Stephen immediately took a big step, one step, two steps, and two steps, and then he arrived in front of the three-second zone. Stephen did not stop at all, without considering that a mountain-like figure was rushing towards him and blocking himself.

All he had to do was to pause hard on the ground, and his body immediately reached mid-air, looking a little further away from the basket, as if he had taken off a little earlier, but Stephen's continued rise and flew towards the basket, as if he had a thruster installed.

O'Neal was on the other side to defend Duncan, but he didn't see anyone passing the ball to, so he turned around and rushed over with Duncan's passing route. Based on his understanding of Duncan, since Duncan passed the ball like this, there must be someone here. Sure enough, Stephen dared to dunk on the Heat's basket for the first ball at the beginning. How could O'Neal let him get what he wanted, jumped up immediately, waved his big hand in the air, and smashed it hard towards Stephen.

O'Neal's jumping block was very accurate. His defensive ability was not bad, but his offensive ability was too strong to cover his defense. As his hand was about to cover the ball, Stephen suddenly withdrew his hand back, then bypassed O'Neal's hand and dunked the ball into the basket again. Then Stephen was knocked out by O'Neal and flew out directly, followed by a whistle from the referee.
