Chapter 164: Double Kill Heat

"James has 18 points in the half, six rebounds and four assists, and it looks like he's going for a triple-double again."

Someone replied to the fan.

"Oh, that damn guy, it's shameful that he still runs to huddle even though he's so strong!"

The fan couldn't help but curse.

"Hehe, but our Wizards aren't bad at all!"

The man laughed earlier. "James scored 18 points, but George, who was opposite him, also scored 15 points! This rookie is really too strong, Wang Xiao is really awesome, every selected player is so strong! ”

15 points at halftime?

The fan gasped, "No wonder I saw that kid shoot several times on the court, he is going to score 30 points in this game!" ”

……

Scoring 30 points may be a bit more difficult for George.

In the locker room, looking at George, who was panting and sweating like rain, Wang Xiao secretly thought in his heart.

Even if George has been practicing hard for this game for a long time, even if Wang Xiao does not hesitate to win the value, he has been providing him with the bonus of the training module during this time, even if he feels very good today, how to shoot.

After all, he is just a 1-year-old rookie player, and the top small forward in the league like James, not only to ensure offensive efficiency under James's defense, but also to defend with all his strength in the face of James's offense, the physical consumption on him is quite huge.

The first two quarters of the game had exhausted George, and in the next third quarter of the game, George basically had no physical fitness to continue to fight.

"Boy, well done, it's up to us for the next game!"

Butler, who basically didn't play hard in the first half, patted George and said comfortingly.

"Whew...... Whew, me, I can still do it! ”

George gritted his teeth and said.

"That's enough, Paul."

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said: "I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half, you have done well enough, you have to remember one thing, the competition with James is not a matter of two games, and you can't risk being injured on the court at the risk of physical overdraft." ”

"In the future, in your career, you will face James countless times, even if you don't talk about the future, this season, we have two games against the Heat, what you need to do now is to think about what you did well in today's game with James, and what you did not do well enough, and further improve before meeting James in the next game."

There is another sentence that Wang Xiao did not say.

"You're the team's secret weapon against the Heat in the playoffs! Premature exposure is too bad. ”

Leading by 3 points at halftime is not a particularly big point difference for the Wizards, but Wang Xiao is not worried.

Because George provided a lot of firepower, Curry was less involved in the offense, not yet fully powerful, and Butler, who scored only 4 points in the first half, was also energetic and sharpened his knives.

And the other side is outdrawn, George's side is overdrafted, and the 18 points scored by James's side in the half of the game are not easy to pick up, and the opponent's consumption is much greater than the usual half-time.

In the third quarter of the game, the Wizards can definitely dominate the whole court!

……

The result was as Wang Xiao expected.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Wizards used a wave of hearty consecutive scoring to instantly widen the score gap.

Curry and Butler teamed up to take advantage of the Heat's unstable foothold to play offense.

And the offense on the Heat's side has frequent mistakes.

In just three minutes, the margin widened to more than double digits.

Spoelstra had to call back-to-back timeouts to stabilize his tempo, but things didn't get any better.

The scoring efficiency of the Big Three is far inferior to that of the Wizards, especially James, who has hardly taken the initiative to attack Butler's defense after coming on the court in the third quarter due to excessive physical consumption in the first two quarters.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had become 88-73, and the Heat trailed the Wizards by 15 points.

Trailing by 15 points after three quarters is already a considerable margin of points.

But the Heat, for their part, didn't give up.

Because they have the Big Three in their ranks! And they all know that this game cannot be lost.

After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the big three who had been forced to rush were all powerful, first James hit a three-pointer from a long distance, and then Wade and Bosh hit shots one after another, scoring 7 points in a row in the blink of an eye, narrowing the difference to single digits.

However, at this time, Wang Xiao called a timeout, interrupting the scoring momentum of the Big Three, and the lineup made new adjustments.

George reappeared in place of Butler.

The third quarter was completely unplayed, with 15 minutes of halftime and 12 minutes of the third quarter, plus free throws and timeouts during the period, George had more than half an hour of rest.

Although it is impossible to fully recover to the peak state, the physical strength has also recovered seven or eight times out of ten, and it is more than enough to play the next games.

After the timeout, the Wizards' offensive tempo slowed down significantly, reducing offensive and defensive transitions and quick offense, and the number of pick-and-roll combinations began to increase.

Obviously, in the next time, the Wizards are going to play steadily!

The Wizards, who have slowed down, are not bad at all in terms of offensive efficiency.

Curry and George's pick-and-roll coordination is huge, whether Curry shoots himself after the pick-and-roll or passes to George for George to play a misplaced single, it is a pretty good choice.

And the Heat, on the side of the Wizards, faced the Wizards' George + Danny. The defense line of Green + Jordan Jr. can only be pierced and chiseled.

At this point, another weakness of the Heat came to light.

Neither James nor Wade is strong enough for three-point ability.

Curry and George's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation can also be emulated by the Heat, but the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation of James and Wade can only be applied to misplaced singles and breaking through the interior line, and it cannot have a huge three-point deterrent after blocking and dismantling like Curry.

As the minutes ticked by, the Heat were still unable to open up the situation.

James, who scored 24 points in the third quarter of the game and hit a three-pointer to score 27 points in the fourth quarter, tried several offenses under George's defense, but because of the serious lack of physical fitness, they were forcibly defended by George.

But even so, when the game entered the final minute of the fourth quarter and the margin remained at 7-9 points, the game was over.

When the whistle blew, the stadium cheered and the fans rushed to celebrate, because they had completed a double kill against the Heat who formed the Big Three this season!
