The Wizards' fast break has arguably become one of the league's most famous tactics in the past two years.

In addition to the center position for rebounding, the other four positions include the power forward, all of which are fast-moving, and each has four positions, two bottom corner three-point lines, a three-point line top arc, and a player cutting inside.

Taking advantage of the opposition's unstable defensive footing, the Wizards' players can always find a good offensive moment to play a fast break first.

Even if the opponent has a good offensive and defensive transition, he can keep an eye on all the players at the first time, because the center who grabs the rebound from the back court and follows up from the backcourt can immediately block and cover the ball carrier at the top of the three-point line.

The Wizards' centers, whether it's Jordan Jr. or McGee, are the kind of big men who are relatively fast, and they are slightly faster when facing most centers.

For example, right now, the Heat's Big Z is a little slower than Jordan Jr.

Chalmers was completely blocked by Jordan Jr.'s wide body, and Curry immediately rushed to the basket with the ball.

At this time, there are only James and George who are still on the inside.

Looking at Curry, who quickly rushed into the basket, James could only give up George next to him and step forward to defend Curry.

But Curry is a point guard who averages nearly 7 assists per game, and as soon as James gets closer, Curry twists his wrist and shoves the basketball straight to George who cuts into the basket on the side.

After receiving Curry's pass, George immediately jumped on the spot and pressed the basketball into the basket.

Although George's dunk was not as domineering as James's, it was also a response to James' dunk just now.

On the sidelines, Spoelstra frowned.

It's still the same old problem! The Wizards' offense and defense transitions are too fast! In contrast, the Heat team has obvious shortcomings, even if they can keep up with the defense from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position for the first time, but the shortcomings of the center position are infinitely magnified under this fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

To solve this problem, there are two ways, first, replace Big Z off the court and let Bosh top the center position, Bosh can keep up with the fast break rhythm of the Wizards, and can also easily complete the defense work after his teammates are blocked and blocked.

Second, let Big Z participate in the offense as little as possible on the field, and focus on quick defense.

The problem with the first method is that after Bosh was replaced at the power forward position, James had to mention the power forward position, because the Heat currently have very few interior players with mobility. Miller or James. Jones and other players are on the court, and the only position they can play is small forward.

As a result, the rebounds will inevitably be suppressed by the Wizards when they lose their interior height.

As for the second approach, there are also drawbacks.

In order to improve the speed of Big Z's return defense, he must not be allowed to fall into the interior card position to grab rebounds, and he may only be able to do some blocking and dismantling and covering in the middle distance or even on the outside.

Big Z has a certain long-range shooting ability, but it is not stable, so once he pulls out to the outside, Jordan Jr. basically will not choose to go out to defend.

In this way, Jordan Jr., who stands on the inside line and has no players around him who needs to be marked, can make up for the players who hit the inside line at any time.

After becoming the team's starting center this season, Jordan Jr. has grown rapidly, especially with the training bonus of Wang Xiao's training system, and has gradually become the team's interior defensive gate.

The Wizards' tactical system is not friendly to the center position, so Jordan Jr.'s personal scoring is not high, and he is currently averaging only about 7 points per game.

But because of the heavy responsibility of defending and protecting rebounds, Jordan Jr. has made great progress in these two statistics, especially blocking, which has improved from less than 1 per game to 2.2 per game, and has been able to rank in the top five in the league.

In other words, Jordan Jr.'s defense should not be underestimated, and he has even surpassed his predecessor Haywood.

If there is no big Z to contain on the inside, the liberated little Jordan will undoubtedly pose a certain threat to James and Wade.

Choosing between the first and second options was a choice for Spoelstra, as he did not have a perfect solution to the situation.

And at this time, the showdown on the field continues.

James is here again.

"How am I going to get past you this time?"

Slowly dribbling the ball on the outside, James asked George.

George still didn't respond, his eyes fixed on each other.

Seeing this situation, James was not verbose, and after continuous crotch dribbling, he suddenly pulled three points on the spot.

James' three-point shooting percentage is not high, but it is also one of his usual offensive methods.

On average, James made about 4 three-point shots per game, and could hit 1.4 shots, and the shooting rate remained above 30%.

With a sudden cold arrow like this, George was caught off guard and slowed down by half a beat, allowing James to shoot easily.

The basketball arcs through the air and flies into the hoop.

"Looks like James feels pretty good today......"

Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao on the sidelines said secretly, but George's opening performance also made him more satisfied.

James can't defend himself, so he can only try to consume as much energy as possible on both offensive and defensive ends.

And that's exactly what George is doing now.

Although James has scored 5 points in a row, George, who also scored 4 points in a row, will definitely allow James to use more energy to pay attention and defend.

The game continued as the field expanded from James and George to the rest of the teams, with Curry, Jamison, Wade and Bosh also starting to score.

On the Heat's side, they took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Big Z with James. Jones.

Bosh moved to the center position, and James also moved to the power forward position.

Spoelstra still made the choice, sacrificing interior height and rebounding protection to boost the team's overall speed.

However, such a change of formation made George a little unhappy.

James, who was at the power forward position, naturally went to guard Jamison.

James has no way to mark Jamison, although Jones is also 2.03 meters tall, but he is not suitable for playing power forward, even if Jamison is not a strong and tall type among power forwards, but it is not something that Jones can easily deal with, at least in terms of rebounding protection, Jones, who averaged less than 2 rebounds per game in his career, is definitely not enough.

In contrast, James's rebounding is better, although Spoelstra is ready to sacrifice rebounding in order to improve his speed with this lineup, but this does not mean that he will give up treatment directly!

The rebounds that should be fought for are still up for grabs.

On the defensive end, if James continues to stare at perimeter player George, he will obviously not be able to complete the task of protecting the rebound.

But having said that, when he saw James running to keep an eye on Jamison, George's anger still surged up.

"Are you trying to escape?"
