James went off the court, and Bosh was served by the Wizards' two towers in a targeted turn, and the offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, so that the Heat's stable scoring point was only Wade alone.

On the Wizards' side, after the timeout, Curry also rested, but there were still Harden and Butler on the court.

At this stage, Harden is not able to compete with Wade head-on for the time being, but he has Butler's assistance on the offensive end, and Beverley who replaces Curry on the defensive end is responsible for defending Wade.

As the saying goes, three stinkers are all on top of one Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Harden, Butler, and Beverley are by no means stooges.

For a while, the Wizards once again had the upper hand on the court and continued to widen the point difference.

……

"Damn it! How is it again! ”

Looking at the game on the field, James, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but clench his fists.

He'd seen it more than once during the regular season, and this hateful team had been using this method to win.

Originally, when the five main starters were all on the court, the Heat team did not lose to the Wizards team at all, and even more sharp and powerful than the Wizards team compared to the offense.

But every time the main players of the two sides came off the field one after another and replaced the substitutes, the gap began to widen.

In the four games of the regular season, James spent time in non-stop filling holes, resting, filling holes, resting, and then scoring 30+ or even 40+ points in one game, and then helplessly watching the team lose the game by a big score.

In the playoffs, it's still like this, who can stand it!

James was dissatisfied, and Spoelstra was helpless.

What can he do? He's desperate too!

Who made the Heat's bench lineup so different from the Wizards?

In the playoffs to the Eastern Conference Finals, the highest score on the Heat's bench lineup was James Jones, who averaged 6.5 points per game in the playoffs.

Signed at the beginning of the season at a big price, hoping to contribute strong firepower to the Big Three on the bench. Miller was plagued by injuries and averaged only 5.6 points per game in the regular season, and even more so in the playoffs, averaging only 2.6 points per game!

Looking at the Wizards' side, not to mention Harden, who averages 20+ points per game, and Butler, who can contribute 10+ points steadily, Curry's substitute Beverley alone averages 5.7 points per game in the playoffs, which is about the same as Jones, the Heat's bench scoring champion.

You must know that Beverley's main task on the court is defense, not offense!

Harden and Butler, here is a gap of about 30 points, and it is also the point difference that must be filled on the side of the Heat's starting lineup.

What Spoelstra expects is for the Big Three to break the Wizards' starters and quickly widen the gap in the opening game to make up for the huge gap in the bench.

But the fact is that Wade + James + Bosh's score is only a little higher than Curry's + George + Jamison's score, which is immediately gone when Harden comes on the court.

Now, Spoelstra can hope that the next big three can use their strong individual ability to close the huge gap in the bench.

……

At halftime, the difference between the two teams reached double digits, and when the third quarter began, the re-introduced James did show a strong offensive ability as Spoelstra imagined, George was completely unable to stop James, and was constantly broken into the interior to score by the opponent.

However, even so, the score difference has not shown any trend of narrowing.

Because Curry and George, who are also back on the court, are also scoring, George's main focus is on defending James, and the number of shots and scoring efficiency are a little better, but Curry is really unstoppable.

With the blessing of long-range shooting, today's Curry feels hot and frightening, often James struggled to get rid of George's defense and scored two points with difficulty, and before he could catch his breath, the Wizards immediately went down, and then Curry took advantage of everyone's foothold to unheard, it was a quick three-point shot.

What's worse is that there is not much time to aim and brew in this way, and the shooting percentage is still amazing!

This season's Heat, in terms of scoring, can rank ninth in the league, but there is still a big gap with the Wizards, who are ranked first in the league.

The game failed to launch a comeback in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, the Heat did not make too many waves.

At 119:104, the Wizards won the first game of the series by 15 points at home.

In this game, Curry on the Wizards' side played extremely well, shooting 12 of 19 from the field, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring a team-high 36 points, but this score was not the highest score in the game.

The highest score in the game was James, who had 38 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

In this game, James can be said to have tried his best, 11 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the second quarter, and 15 points in the third quarter, but when it came to the fourth quarter of the game, the impact of being entangled by George and Butler finally appeared.

However, apart from James, there were only two double-doubles on the Heat's side, Wade, who scored 26 points, and Bosh, who scored 19 points.

Under the Big Three, the Heat didn't even have a single player in double figures, even starting point guard Chalmers, who only scored 8 points in 32 minutes of play.

Curry's defense is weak among point guards, but that's relatively easy to deal with against a player like Chalmers who isn't good at offense.

Compared with the Heat, the Wizards have a total of five players scoring in double figures.

In addition to Curry, Harden had 17 points and seven assists, George had 21 points, Jamison had 13 points and Butler had 11 points.

The disparity was immediately apparent.

After the game, at the press conference, Spoelstra said helplessly: "The Wizards' bench lineup is very luxurious, with the best sixth man Harden, Butler, who is fully capable of starting any team, and in addition to talented big men and high-quality backup guards who are active in defense......

"To make matters worse, the Wizards' starting lineup is also extremely good. George's resilience is admirable, and Curry has reached the level of top superstars like LeBron and Dwyane, and if we can't find a way to contain his three-point shot, we'll still have a hard time playing the rest of the game. ”

"I think after this game, we'll take a closer look at the Celtics' tactics when defending Curry, and hopefully learn something that can effectively interfere with the opponent's hand......

Compared with Spoelstra's chattering about a lot of some and not, Wang Xiao was much more simple and clear when he was interviewed by reporters.

"We've already won one game, and then we're going to get to the finals with three wins." Wang Xiao smiled and said, "I can't wait now, I hope this day can come sooner." ”
