Chapter 144: Predicting the Enemy's Victory
Off the field, Wang Xiao finally showed a satisfied smile.
With James off the court, the Wizards have completely mastered the rhythm of the game.
Although Wade and Bosh re-entered the court at the same time as James went off, the appearance of the two did not allow the Heat to pull back a game.
The score gap gradually widened, and when Curry returned to the court, he immediately led the team to a ferocious attack, stretching the score gap to 10 points in one fell swoop.
However, although he has an advantage on the field, Wang Xiao did not take it lightly.
There are still nearly 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and in these 5 minutes, the Heat Big Three will definitely launch the most ferocious counterattack.
For the Wizards, who are not very good defensively, how to withstand the opponent's counterattack is the key to winning this game!
Again, the best defense is offense!
Instead of worrying about how to defend against the opponent's attack, it is better to think about how to make the opponent unable to defend against your own attack.
As long as they can maintain the same offensive efficiency as the Heat, then the opponent will not be able to catch up with the score difference no matter what.
So, when the Heat took advantage of the dead ball to replace the Big Three and prepared to fight back in the last five minutes, Wang Xiao's lineup also made adjustments.
Curry, Harden, Butler, George, Jamison!
The new and improved version of the Death Five is here!
This lineup replaced Danny, who was slightly weaker in offense. Green and Jordan Jr., who has almost no offensive ability at all, further weakens their defensive ability and is equivalent to giving up their advantage in rebounding, and in exchange for maximizing their offensive ability.
George, who has relatively poor offensive ability in the starting five, is also an all-round player who can shoot suddenly, while Butler and Jamison are both All-Star players who have averaged 20+ points per game, not to mention Curry and Harden.
When the new and improved Death Five came on, the Heat's defensive pressure skyrocketed, especially Joel's at the center position. Anthony, his slow pace made it impossible for him to keep up with Jamison's pace.
Spoelstra looked at the situation on the field with some chagrin.
He knew that he had made a mistake, if he knew that Wang Xiao would have such a strange lineup, he would not let Anthony continue to stay on the court, facing the Wizards' small lineup of putting the big forward in the center position, the best way to deal with it is to let Bosh go to the center position and make small with a small system.
But now he won't be unpredictable, and now it's too late to find out, at this time he only has two timeouts left in his hands, and it is impossible to call a timeout in order to adjust the lineup.
"Antoine! Cooperate with Curry more in blocking and dismantling! ”
Wang Xiao also saw the hidden dangers on the hot field, so he immediately commanded on the sidelines.
At this time, it was Heat point guard Chalmers who defended Curry, and Joel was defending Jamison. Anthony, these two can be said to be the biggest shortcomings of the Heat, how long will it take to kill him if he doesn't take advantage of his illness at this time?
Relying on Jamison's blocking, Curry easily passed Chalmers and rushed inside, and Anthony, who was a little slow and didn't keep up with Jamison, could only come over to make up for Curry, and at this time, Curry turned his head and threw the ball to Jamison, who retreated to the three-point line after blocking and dismantling.
After receiving the ball, Jamison faced the first thing he was blocked by him, and he didn't have time to catch up with Curry's Chalmers.
Jamison 2.06 meters, Chalmers 1.88 meters, when Jamison jumped with the ball, even if Chalmers jumped up and wanted to interfere, but his outstretched hand could not effectively interfere with Jamison.
At the same time, the bonus effect of "Spot Shooter" also took effect at the same time as Jamison's outside catch jump.
The basketball flew through the sky and landed pinpointedly into the net.
"Three-point hit!"
This is undoubtedly a blow to add insult to injury!
The Heat didn't have time to sigh at all, and James teamed up with Wade to immediately bombard the Wizards.
At critical moments, James and Wade are almost completely unstoppable, not to mention the improved Wizards of the Dead Five, and the defense is weaker than before.
In the blink of an eye, James scored his 40th point of the game, and Wade's score rose to 28 points.
However, the Heat's offense is fierce enough, but the Wizards' offense is even wilder, and even faster than the offensive rhythm, the Wizards are even faster than the Heat!
In many cases, the Heat have just finished their offense, and Curry and Harden are already running towards the front court with their basketballs.
And just like that, on the home court of the Heat, with minutes left before the end of the game, the two teams staged a stunning offensive matchup.
……
Spoelstra called the team's last timeout.
The Big Three sat on the bench, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, panting heavily.
Spoelstra looked up at the scoreboard, and with one minute left in the game, the score was 119-123 and the Wizards led by four points.
The Heat relied on the desperate explosion of the Big Three to finally recover the 10-point gap in 4 minutes.
I have to say that this is really difficult, and no one would have thought that it would force this team of rookies to this point.
And the remaining 1 minute will also become the most critical moment.
1 minute, theoretically speaking, should be about 3 offenses, with the Heat with the ball in possession having 2 offenses and the Wizards 1.
With a 4-point trail, the Heat have nothing more than a few options, no matter which one they are, they must first make a successful shot, then let go of the opponent's next round of offense, and then seize the opportunity in the last offense to tie or overtake the score.
Spoelstra had already made a decision at this time, but he didn't expect that Wang Xiao was not ready to give him any chance at all.
The Big Three really deserve to be the Big Three, even if Wang Xiao got on the improved version of the Death Five Small, which had the strongest offensive firepower, they still chased the score back little by little.
And now, at the most critical moment, Wang Xiao doesn't want to lose the final victory because of the giant planet or something.
So in this pause, Wang Xiao directly chose to use the "Anticipate the Enemy to Win" prop card.
To be reasonable, before the game, Wang Xiao had already used tactical skills and consumed 100 victory points, and now he chooses to use the SSS-level prop card "Expect the enemy to win", and he will consume 500 victory points, and he can only get 200 victory points for a victory in the regular season, which is a very loss, but the opponent is the Heat team with personal grudges with Wang Xiao after all, and this team is basically the biggest opponent of the Wizards in the next few years.
Therefore, even if it loses 400 victory points, it is definitely worth it in Wang Xiao's opinion!
