Chapter 163: This is too intense, isn't it?
Steal by George, then a defensive foul by Harden.
For a moment, James's face was a little unbearable.
He wanted to take the field back immediately.
But at this time, there was only more than a minute left before the end of the first quarter.
Spoelstra saw that James' mood seemed to be something wrong, so he replaced him on Harden's free-throw kill.
On the one hand, it is to let James calm down, on the other hand, it is to let him save some physical strength, the first quarter is not a difficult quarter for the Heat, but in the second and third quarters, the Wizards with a luxurious bench lineup are much more relaxed than the Heat.
In the last game, the Heat lost to the Big Three, and Spoelstra is unlikely to repeat the same mistake in this game.
James was substituted, and the main point of attack on the court naturally became Wade.
And Wade's firepower is obviously not comparable to that of Curry and Harden.
So in the next minute or so, the Wizards played a 6-2 to end the first quarter with a score of 31:25.
During the break at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards surrounded George.
"You kid, you're in good shape today! It's so tough in the face of James, okay! ”
Butler slammed a punch into George's chest and laughed.
He and James have always been at odds, and seeing that James didn't take any advantage in the face of George today, and even suffered a little, he was naturally happy.
George scratched his head slightly embarrassed when he heard this.
"What's the matter, I still couldn't defend him in the first quarter of the game, and let him score a lot of points......"
"Hehe, you kid is too greedy, in the face of James, you still want to lock him up completely?" Butler couldn't help laughing and said: "You must know that even the top defensive experts in the league will also be cut by that guy when facing James 20+30+ or even 40+ points, that is a completely unstoppable scoring machine, you can explode with him, it's already quite powerful!" ”
"That's right." Wang Xiao also said on the side: "George, you did a very good job in the first quarter of the game, continue to work hard to maintain." ”
"Okay! Instructor! ”
……
At the beginning of the second quarter, James did not play, but the Wizards also began to replace the main players of the first quarter of the game one after another.
Curry, George and others were all replaced, and the protagonists on stage also changed.
At this time, it is the stage for Wade to compete with Harden.
In the first quarter of the game, although Wade played for a long time, he didn't play much, and the main focus was mainly on James, and now that James is off the court, Wade, who has regained control of the ball, immediately showed his strong strength.
Taking advantage of the speed that few in the league can match, Wade constantly stormed the basket and caused massive damage to the Wizards' defense.
But Harden, who is also a scoring guard, refused to show weakness at this time.
Although he can't match Wade in terms of speed, Harden has his own unique way of breaking through.
Harden's European step skills are quite good on the left hand, and the unique rhythm change is also difficult to guard.
The two of them each scored the first few minutes of the second quarter for their respective teams, and it was a big idea to go head-to-head.
Soon, however, the Heat replaced Wade off the court and brought James back on the court.
"George, are you ready?"
Seeing James get up, Wang Xiao immediately asked George beside him.
George also immediately understood what Wang Xiao meant, and stood up from the bench with a "rub".
"It's been ready for a long time! Instructor! ”
……
Seeing that James was on his side and George was on the Wizards' side, Spoelstra couldn't help but frown.
"Wang Xiao, is this guy really ready to use that rookie to deal with LeBron? Are you kidding? Did he really think this kid could play against LeBron for a whole game? ”
But what Spoelstra didn't expect was that George could really continue to play with James on the field!
Defensively, he still can't prevent James at all as always, so he can only try to make James work more hard and consume more physical strength when attacking.
But offensively, James can't stop him either.
George's hand today is really good, he is the kind of player who is very versatile, he can have a little offensive skills, and when the hand is bursting, players with such characteristics are often very terrifying.
When James defended George, he found that when he was a little closer to George, the opponent would break through with the ball, and when he was a little farther away, George switched to a step-back jumper.
It made him feel as if he was playing against his good brother Cameron. Anthony the same.
Anthony has a kaleidoscope of offense in the league, attacking a variety of offensive methods, which is very different from James, who believes in one-force down ten.
When playing against Anthony, James often feels like no matter how he defends, the opponent will use countless offensive skills to break down his defense.
But it is hard for James to imagine that this first-year rookie actually has similar abilities to Anthony!
And he hadn't forgotten that at that moment just now, he also saw a little shadow of Peak Maddie.
A mere first-year rookie, can he actually let him see the shadow of two top small forwards in the league? This is also an exaggeration!
Feeling incredible, James stepped up the confrontation, and frequently engaged in physical confrontation at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, trying to completely crush George, but George is like a very resilient spring, the greater the force of oppression, the more ferocious the rebound.
After a few minutes of offensive and defensive play, James couldn't hold George down, and the Wizards still held on to the first-quarter point lead.
And as the second quarter progressed, the rest of the two teams' main players began to take the stage.
On the Wizards' side, Curry's appearance shared a lot of pressure for George, and on the Heat's side, Wade and Bosh began to re-enter one after another.
The two sides still maintained a fast pace of the game, and the audience on the court watched dizzily, and before they knew it, the second quarter of the game also ended, and the game came to halftime.
At this time, the scores of the two teams were 61:58, and the Wizards led by 3 points.
"Oh my God, this game is too intense, isn't it?"
At halftime, some fun games began on the court, as is customary.
And the Wizards fans who are not here are eagerly discussing the first half of the game.
"I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen such a great fight." One viewer lamented: "I haven't even been able to pay attention to which players' stats are doing, and who can tell me how many points LeBron has scored?" How many points did that rookie Paul score against James? ”
