Chapter 575: Miami Lightning
"The Trail Blazers are very strong on the inside, but we can't back down. The Spurs www.biquge.info because they relied too much on outside shooting that they finally lost to the Trail Blazers. In basketball, it is impossible to win a game by shooting alone! LeBron, Dwayne, continue to break through and create damage. Put pressure on their interior defense and make them more passive! Spoelstra spoke his English with a strong Filipino accent and set up his players.
Wade and James are glad Spoelstra has come up with them, and the Heat are a team that has reached the Finals for the third year in a row, and they know how to play in the Finals.
Shooting may be a factor in winning the game, but it's by no means the whole story! Rickard wants to lock the Heat's offense out of the three-second zone? There are no doors!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ricard still rested most of his main players off the court. But in the finals, if you still keep the normal rotation, you are very wrong!
"Dwayne, LeBron, Chris, the Heat's Big Three are all on the scene! Now, the Trail Blazers must withstand a lot of pressure! "Bill. Wharton didn't expect Spoelstra to be so bold, even though the Trail Blazers' bench lineup is very strong, but compared to the Heat's Big Three, it is still not at the same level.
"Take a good look, rookie!" Spoelstra glanced at Calder, whose furrowed brow pleased the Filipino.
The battle started again, but this time, the Heat triumvirate finally raised their eyebrows.
Damien. Lillard may have played very eye-catching when he was next to Anjie, but when he led the team against the Big Three alone, Lillard looked much more immature.
First of all, on the defensive end, the Heat backup point guard Norris, who has a better impact. Kerr caused Lillard a lot of trouble.
Cole wasn't very proficient in anything, but he knew a little bit about everything. If this kind of player doesn't play well, it's useless, but once he does, it's terrible.
Compared to Chalmers, Kerr's organization allows the Big Three to play more off-ball on the offensive end, which also means that the three of them can attack a lot easier than before.
With offense favorable, the Heat's defense has also shown great improvement.
Lillard had twice planned to play an aerial relay with Hickson, but because of the Heat's defense, the two did not form a tacit understanding, and gave the Heat two balls for nothing.
After that, Batum also missed all the crosshairs under James's close defense. Seeing that the score was gradually getting closer, it was only two points away. Rickard cursed and stood up, and told Angel to come to his side.
"You can also see that whether it's offense or defense, when the team is missing an interior pillar, the Trail Blazers are completely messed up. I want you to go on the field and do everything you can to stabilize the situation. There's no way the Big Three can fight like this for the whole game, you can't let them get up and force them to give up! As soon as Rickard finished speaking, the referee's shrill whistle sounded.
Intrusive foul, from Lillard. The rookie rookie who has been playing a little too well lately was a bit out of shape today, so Riccard decided to let Lillard go off the court first, and then he threw all the starters except Aldridge and Lillard onto the court.
Rickard had to keep his hand in case Spoelstra came up with a bad idea. Aldridge and Lillard were Ricard's emergency measures.
But in this way, Anjie and Iguodala must find a way to contain the Heat triumvirate.
"Here we are, Dwayne." When James saw An Jie on the court, he couldn't help but pat his good brother on the shoulder. After warming up for so long, the protagonist finally appears!
Wade nodded silently and ran to the designated position to stand. The Big Three, it's not as simple as you think!
The Heat sideline ball was sent out by Norris. Kerr was in possession.
Iguodala and Anjie immediately noticed that James and Bosh had become more agile after not attacking with the ball.
Kerr faced Fischer, the oldest on the court, but did not succeed in breaking through. Instead, he played tactics one by one, waiting for Wade to be in place.
Wade bought himself a gap with a series of running feints, and what the Trail Blazers lacked most in this series was experience. Even An Jie is a newcomer in the finals, and Matthews, who entered the league a year later than An Jie, can't withstand the devastation of the "Flash" feints.
After getting out of the three-point line, Wade immediately ran towards Kerr, the ball-wielding man.
"Keep up, keep up, they have to hand over and pick up the pick-and-roll!" An Jie had to shout distractedly, now he didn't just have to defend Bosh alone, An Jie also had to take on the responsibility of commanding the whole team's defense.
Sure enough, Wade ran behind Kerr and completed a hand-to-hand pass with him. At the moment when the basketball was taken away by Wade, Kerr moved sideways and blocked Matthews.
Matthews, who has a good eye, is not slow to react, after all, this guy's defensive ability has always been very good. He deftly dodged Cole's block and continued to chase Wade!
However, just as Matthews bypassed Cole, he found that Haslem suddenly appeared in front of him! This time, Matthews didn't have time to dodge. He was solidly blocked by Haslem, and Wade took advantage of the weakness!
One front and one rear double block dismantling! Spoelstra's tactics were very clever, and Matthews was still too tender!
With this pick-and-roll, Wade got into the three-second zone as he wished. An Jie immediately left Bosh and rushed to the penalty area, but even if the explosiveness of "The Flash" was far less than back then, it was not that An Jie, the center, could catch up casually.
Anjie is only one or two seconds away from catching up with Wade to complete the block, but on the basketball court, the difference of one or two seconds is deadly enough!
"Beautiful layup, the Heat played a wonderful match! Spoelstra fleshed out the Heat's offense, and this wasn't LeBron. James' one-man team, but the team of the Heat's Big Three! ”
Keep breaking through! Wade resolutely executed Spoelstra's tactics. Anjie is also a human, as long as he is a human, he can be defeated!
In the second round, it was still Kerr who held the ball. But this time, he didn't play with Wade, but handed over the ball as soon as the half was over.
But the man with the ball is no longer LeBron, but Miami's icon Dwayne. Wade!
Wade held the ball and tried to move, and Matthews, who was overly nervous, shook his center of gravity!
"The Flash," with his keen sense of smell, didn't pass up the opportunity, and he quickly passed by Matthews. Matthews tried to stop Wade with a foul, but he reached out and only caught a gust of wind!
Anjie immediately observed the situation on the court, Wade broke through, and James was about to cut inside from the baseline. Bosh, on the other hand, is still set to contain in a medium- and long-range position.
Bosh can be defended by someone else, and the guy's mid-to-long-range shooting isn't consistent anyway. As for Wade, this guy would definitely not dare to go straight to the basket when facing Anjie's defense. Relays in the air, Wade and James intend to connect!
Thinking of this, An Jie immediately moved. But he didn't pounce directly on Wade, just made up for it with a little deterrence. In fact, Anjie was planning to force a mistake in the air relay between Wade and James!
"Hmph, a rookie is a rookie." Wade smiled playfully, and suddenly jumped up and threw the ball.
Anjie immediately stuck his position to prevent James behind him from gaining space to take off and catch the gap. If successful, the ball thrown by Wade should fly directly out of the bottom line!
"No, it's not an air relay!" An Jie was shocked, but it was too late. The basketball grazed the rebound and crashed into the net, and Wade threw it to the top.
Wade and James high-fived intimately, although on the face of it it was Wade's individual offensive score. But in fact, if James wasn't involved, Wade wouldn't have been ignored by Anjie.
"That kid is a little messed up." Seeing that Anjie was a little overwhelmed, Divac couldn't help but remind Ricard. Their MVP is still a little younger.
"Look again, look at ......" Ricard didn't rush to call a second timeout, anyway, now the Heat also have nothing to do about Anjie's rampaging on the inside. He wants to see who can make it to the end!
In the third round, Wade managed to break through again. Wesley. Matthews has been a little discouraged by consecutive failures, and now he is completely flawed in Wade's opinion. After all, Matthews defends more by his body than by his brain.
An Jie also immediately made up for the basket, and this time, he didn't plan to give "The Flash" any gaps. If Wade dares to break into the box, he doesn't care if he's a respected superstar. As long as you come, I will definitely let you know that it is amazing!
Just when An Jie was about to use a fierce and tough defense to return the color, Wade suddenly stopped and rose from the ground!
"Pull-up jumper?" Yu Jia's eyes widened.
That's right, a pull-up jumper. Don't forget, the pull-up jump shot, which is also one of Wade's killer features!
In order to prevent Wade from breaking through, An Jie deliberately put a few steps. Unexpectedly, just a few small steps, Wade would also be caught by the handle.
The basketball hollowed into the net, and Wade threw punches hard. This guy seems to have returned to the days when he ruled the game by himself!
"!" An Jie yelled unwillingly, and the unhappiness on the defensive end will also affect An Jie's mentality when attacking.
The impatient Anjie began to plan to deal with Bosh in a simple and crude way, but Bosh was also one of the Big Three. Maybe he can't cope with Anjie who is fighting with all his might, but a young man who is impatient, Bosh can still handle it.
This time, Bosh kept his hands held high and did not easily move his position. As a result, Anjie's feints did not work.
Although Anjie scored a goal in the first quarter of the game under James's serious interference, it was only after Anjie took the lead in aiming for the basket.
Now, Anjie is guarded by Bosh and doesn't even have a chance to aim at the basket. Naturally, this turnaround jumper also knocked out of the frame.
When the game came, Wade took a three-point shot after receiving a pass from James.
While the three-point shot has always been the Flash's weakness on the offensive end, you can't make it too easy for Wade outside the three-point line when he feels like he's out of the way.
But it was clear that young Matthews didn't know this. He still let Wade take two steps, and his choice also allowed Wade to fill another three points for the Heat.
The score was instantly overtaken and Ricard had to rush to interrupt the game. Just a few minutes, maybe the worst minutes of Anjie's defense this season!
The main reason is that Wade can easily get opportunities on the outside, and no matter how good An Jie is, he can't deal with the three of the Heat alone. When Wade breaks through, no matter what Anjie chooses, the Heat have a chance.
At the end of the timeout, Rickard finally replaced all the starters, while on the Heat's side, Spoelstra took Wade, who was doing well, to rest.
Rickard is still rejoicing, he thought the Trail Blazers' nightmare was finally over. But when James used a breakthrough to attract Anjie and then divided the ball to Bosh to complete the assist, Ricard knew that the situation was not good!
It's true that Wade is out of the game, but James and Bosh didn't have much effort just now. These two guys are enough to play a super-intense wheel battle with An Jie, who has consumed a lot of physical strength!
Other teams may shy away from Anjie's defense, but today, the Big Three of Spoelstra and the Heat are about to break up the Trail Blazers starting with Anjie!
The Heat are still on a roll, and the Trail Blazers are once in a "sleepwalk".
Inexplicable mistakes, impatient attacks. Messy defense, even Bill. Wharton shook his head from the commentary podium.
Wade, the terrifying killer, suddenly made the Trail Blazers stupid.
Anjie didn't sit back on the bench until three minutes before the end of the first half, but his extraordinarily long playing time didn't show anything other than wasting a lot of energy.
53-47, the Trail Blazers, who were originally leading, were passive at the end of the half. If it weren't for the older Andre Iguodala stepping up and scoring a few goals in a row, the Heat would not have been able to establish a double-digit lead.
"These little bastards are going to heaven!" Ricard kicked away the Gatorade bottle next to him, a move that made some journalists who wanted to talk to him for a half-time interview choose to avoid him.
An Jie lowered his head and walked into the locker room, and the domineering spirit that was inevitable in the first quarter of the game had completely disappeared from An Jie......
