On February 27, Beijing time, the Spurs, whose record was at the tail of the Western Crane, challenged the Heat, the no. 1 in the East, and the Spurs' Kelden Johnson and Dezhangtai Murray took a break in this game, which was thought to be a game without suspense, and the young people of the Spurs were surprised. At the beginning of the game, the Spurs were like playing chicken blood, the inside and outside lines were all blossoming, scoring 40 points on 18 of 27 shots in a single quarter, giving the Heat, who were sitting at home, a note to Ma Wei. In the second quarter of the game, the Heat were significantly more serious, improving their defensive intensity, and the result was to instantly beat the young Spurs back to their original shape. Under the Heat's suffocating defense, the Spurs scored just 18 points in the second quarter, and the Heat erased the 12-point difference and overtook the score in just one quarter. But in the third quarter, the Spurs, led by Walker, Vassell and others, fought back and scored 39 points again, but unfortunately they could not limit the Heat's offense. In the end, the Heat narrowly defeated the Spurs 133-129 and won a difficult victory.
The Biggest contributor to the Heat's win was Adebayor, who was often able to surprise the team and always stood up to help the team bite the score in difficult moments. In this game, Adeba made about 14 of 21 shooting, and had 36 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and was quite effective at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Especially in the crucial fourth quarter of the Spurs counterattack stage, Butler due to physical reasons after playing the third quarter early to clock out of work, Adebayo withstood the pressure to lead the team to play an offensive climax. He himself scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the fourth quarter, a fly in the ointment of his low free throw percentage in the fourth quarter, hitting only two of his five free throws, compared to losing just one of his seven free throws in the first three quarters.
Heat coach Spoo spoke about Adebayor in a post-game interview with the media, and he did not hesitate to praise it, saying that Adebayor was able to play his own characteristics on the field and knew how to help the team win. Adeba Dating constantly compensates for his technical weaknesses through learning, and Spoo revealed that Adebayor often learns the ability to read games with Lowry, and he is expected to grow into a Hall of Fame-level center.
As Spoo said, Adebayor has improved at a speed visible to the naked eye every year since he entered the league, and his career statistics show how hard he has worked. Adebayor, who averaged 6.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in his rookie season and could only be a white-sided substitute, proved his strength in only two seasons and successfully counterattacked in the third season of his career. Adebayor's performance is now quite stable, but he can still find his progress in some of the details of the game. Today, Adebayo is not the top center in the league, but I believe that in the near future he will be able to prove the truth of heavenly reward through his own efforts.
