Faced with such an attack, the Heat were not very prepared. They had already got the rebound and were ready to launch a fast break. Basically everyone on the Spurs had run through the midfield. Who would have thought that Stephen, who was slowing down there, seemed to have not yet been upset from the free throw miss, and would break through and get up and block the ball, and shoot directly in the air.

How should this be calculated? One steal and one move, or just one move. However, the technical statistician quickly added a steal and one move to Stephen's data, and Stephen's technical statistics were quickly displayed on the TV.

Four-pointers, assists, blocks and steals. With Wade missed a shot, Stephen grabbed the rebound between Haslem and Antoine Walker. Stephen only got all the main technical statistics after just over a minute of the game.

Of course, there are no mistakes here. Since Stephen rarely takes the ball to attack, and at the same time, he usually plays as an offensive finisher in the Spurs, he has very few mistakes, averaging a little three mistakes, and the fewest of players who average 20 and play more than 20 minutes per game.

On the contrary, Stephen is far ahead in causing others' mistakes, which is thanks to his steals and extremely oppressive defense, which poses a great threat to the opponent's players, which is why he makes mistakes, although there is no such data in the official statistics.

After getting the rebound, the Heat immediately double-teamed Tony Parker with Jason Williams and Wade. This is because the Spurs' only one with the ball control ability in the Spurs, and without Tony Parker, the Spurs' fast break cannot be played.

In this way, we naturally could not pass the ball to Tony Parker, but everyone else had already run through the midfield. Michael Finley was originally running in the front, but seeing a problem here, he hurriedly turned around to meet him, but Stephen had already stumbled over with the ball without waiting for him to come.

Stephen's dribbling movements were just a little unfamiliar, not that bad-legged, but Stephen lacked the smoothness, looked average and didn't dare to do any fancy movements. It naturally made people feel ridiculous and made the opponent feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of. Antoine Walker hurriedly rushed over.

Seeing Antoine Walker coming, Stephen was calm and calm. When he stopped, he seemed to be about to slow down his movements, he suddenly accelerated. Taking advantage of the change in rhythm, he passed Antoine Walker's defense. Haslem hurriedly made up. Who knew that Stephen did not stop at all, and stopped and accelerated again. At the same time, he turned around and blocked Haslem behind him.

In the past, Stephen's breakthrough was either based on strength or speed. Anyway, as long as he crossed the three-point line, it would be enough for him to start. At that time, he would take two big steps, no matter whether it was layup, shooting, or dunk.

But today, Stephen showed everyone the change in rhythm, without using power, nor fully using speed. With just stop and accelerate, he surpassed Antoine Walker and Hasmus and came to O'Neal.

Facing O'Neal, Stephen stopped, raised his hand and looked up and made a move. O'Neal didn't move, and still stood in front of Stephen like a hill. With his playing experience and wisdom, Stephen's fake moves could not work at all, so he watched straight and waited for Stephen's next move.

Seeing that the fake moves did not work, Stephen was not panicked. He immediately leaned his body against O'Neal and asked to get up to the inside. Now everyone on the court stood up in disbelief. Many fans at the scene rubbed their eyes. People on the court could see the people on the court looked up and leaned over to look at the court. People who could not see the court looked at the big screen at the center of the venue, watching Stephen's actions.

Who is O'Neal? He is known as the most powerful insider in history, and the nickname he gave himself clearly shows this. Whether it is "big earth pile", "big cactus", or "big diesel engine", since he entered the league, no one can compete with him in terms of strength.

You can say that he is not good at free throws and can pick out many of his flaws, but no one dares to say that he is not strong enough. This can be seen from the changes in the rules of the league, from the Spurs or the Mavericks' hoarding big players, and from the emergence of Shark-cutting tactics, he can be seen with his strength.

In terms of body shape, O'Neal is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 145 kilograms, while Stephen is only 1.99 meters tall and weighs 99 kilograms. O'Neal's body can completely accommodate Stephen. Stephen leans against him, in contrast, like a child.

But Stephen firmly stood firmly against him and asked for a position inside. O'Neal didn't care at first, but Stephen was able to take a step back. With his feet moving, it would take time to stand still. Before O'Neal could stand firm, Stephen made another effort and O'Neal took another step back.

The audience cheered all over the audience. In the past, the Spurs were bullied by O'Neal a lot. After the Spurs won the first championship, they were bullied by the Lakers for three consecutive years. In order to deal with O'Neal's threat, the Spurs made various efforts. Some people once joked that O'Neal was alone, and **Vicy whitened all his hair.

So Stephen's movements make people feel relieved. There is nothing more satisfying to defeat the opponent in the aspects that the opponent is best at. Although it is just a small step, it makes the Spurs fans feel refreshed to the fullest, and they feel like a fire is stuffed in their hearts, which makes people unable to help but cheer.

Even **Victz felt extremely relieved when watching it on the court, and at the same time she felt extremely incredible. Is Stephen so powerful? It is so hard to believe that Stephen is about to get to the position. In everyone's shock, Stephen is about to get to the position.

How could O'Neal endure such humiliation? After taking a firm foothold, he immediately pressed towards Stephen. At this time, Stephen had raised his hand and made a small hook move. This was exactly what O'Neal was best at. Although Stephen tried his best to stand firm, he still felt it was difficult to resist after feeling O'Neal's strength.

However, Stephen was mentally prepared. With the power of O'Neal leaning back, Stephen immediately flew out the one he sent. After flying, Stephen threw the ball in his hand, which looked like he was hit by O'Neal.

The ball flew to the basket frame and landed on the ring on the other side. It was bumped for a while, and then it rolled down unwillingly. The referee was eager to give O'Neal a foul. After thinking about it, he rejected the idea. The game had just begun and he had already given the Heat a foul. If he gave another one, even if he didn't want to be at home, others would think he would be at home.

O'Neal was venting, waving his 300-pound weight, jumping up and dunking the ball into the basket. Although the referee did not judge him to foul just now, his previous retreat still made him very dissatisfied. But who told him that he was not in a match with Stephen, so he had to vent his anger with Nestrovic.

Nestrovic also knew the reason to avoid his edge, but who told Stephen to provoke O'Neal? Duncan, the Spurs side, made a move out of the basket under O'Neal's defense. Stephen soared into the sky and directly grabbed the ball in the air and scored two points again.

After returning, Stephen continued to put in a strict defense on Wade. Wade missed his shot, but Hasmus took the rebound. Seeing Stephen's distance from Wade was a little further away from Wade, he quickly passed the ball to Wade, and Wade also took advantage of this opportunity to shoot the ball into the basket steadily.

The two teams played back and forth for a while. The Heat did not narrow the gap between the two teams, but instead widened to eight points. O'Neal's offense was still unstoppable, but Wade still had no good performance under Stephen's defense.

But while Stephen was defending Wade, he got half of all the Spurs' shots by himself, which exceeded **Vic's bottom line. No matter who it is, no one has so much power to attack in the Spurs system, and Duncan is no exception.

However, since Stephen made many attacks, he made a move after stealing or someone else missed a tip-off, this made **Vict couldn't say anything. He was just wondering in his heart that why Stephen was so active today was a bit too much. He was worried now that Stephen's high active performance would be exhausted in the second half.

After more than the ninth minute of the first quarter, with Stephen's shot from outside the three-point line, Pat Riley stood up and called a timeout. Stephen had already scored twelve points. Antoine Walker had almost no effect on his defense, and he had rebounds and steals and blocks on the court, which was too active.

In Pat Riley's memory, in just half a quarter, Stephen had interrupted the Heat's four offenses. Although the mistake was only shown twice, most of the reasons why the Heat were behind were due to Stephen, so Pat Riley could not tolerate Stephen being so active on the court.

**Vic did not say anything. The team was so much ahead, so we couldn't scold the leading heroes, so he didn't say anything. As long as everyone continued to strengthen their defense, stabilize the rhythm, and maintain their current leading advantage.

Back on the court, Stephen's player against the position became James Posey, but Stephen still relied on his back to play singles and scored two points. Pat Riley watched on the court and slapped his forehead helplessly. If he failed in this series, he would be afraid that he would not have enough preparations for the small forward position.
