Although they are both a triumvirate combination, the Heat and the Celtics are very different.

On the one hand, there is a gap in the quality of the Big Three, when the Celtics' Big Three are formed, whether in terms of age, strength or fame, they are slightly weaker than the Big Three of the Heat, and the real top superstar is only Garnett.

Pierce and Ray. Although Aaron's strength is undoubted, it is an indisputable fact that they only had 2 three-formations before 07.

However, in addition to the quality of the Big Three, there is another big difference between the two teams, and that is the strength of the other players.

The Heat have put in so much effort to form the Big Three that the team has very few capable role players, and the Celtics are much better at this.

Although they studed nearly half of the team in order to get Garnett Celtics, they left a young man with a lot of potential.

Rajan. Rondo.

As a player who has grown up under the aura of the Big Three, Rondo's quality is undeniable, and this season is his second season to be named to the All-Star backup team, and he has also been named to the league's All-Defensive team for three consecutive years.

In the point guard position, there are very few people who can be stronger than him in terms of defense, and I am afraid that there are only a few people such as Jeremy Lin and Paul.

Curry has already experienced this in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Rivers' targeted defensive tactics are certainly very good, but the direct cause of Curry's big failure is Rondo's extremely oppressive defense.

Unfortunately, the Heat don't have a strong defensive point guard like Rondo.

Mario. Chalmers is already the best point guard the Heat can put in the starting position.

So theoretically, the Heat can't limit Curry.

Of course, the Heat can also put Wade against Curry and use Wade to limit Curry's play, but compared to Rondo, Wade has to play the role of an offensive finisher more often than the Heat, and it is impossible to focus on defense wholeheartedly.

Therefore, when facing the Celtics, Wang Xiao played Paul. George is at this point, and when it comes to playing against the Heat, it will be Curry's turn.

Before the game, Wang Xiao almost did not hesitate to choose the tactical skill of this game - long-distance shooting, and he wanted to maximize Curry's power.

The result was the same as Wang Xiao expected.

Curry played extremely strong offensive firepower at the beginning of the game.

In the face of Chalmers' defense, Curry made three three-pointers in five minutes to stop the Heat.

The breathlessness of not being able to play last season, the frustration of being targeted everywhere against the Celtics, the sudden drop in defensive intensity of opposing players, and the bonus of long-range shooting skills......

All of these factors combine to make Curry extremely effective offensively right now.

After the timeout, the Heat chose to switch defenses and let Wade keep an eye on Curry.

But Wade's defense can only limit Curry to a certain extent, but it can't completely lock him up, and with Harden coming off the bench, the Wizards began to start a non-stop single game with Harden again, and Chalmers even struggled to defend Curry, not to mention Harden, who has a huge gap in height and tonnage.

Although the Heat's defense is also among the best in the league, it is still a little worse than the Celtics, and more often it still relies on the excellent individual ability and mobility of the Big Three to drive the defense.

While the back line is at a disadvantage, the entanglement between the two teams in the forward line is also fierce.

Bosh and Jamison have similar styles, and the big forwards who are biased towards the frame shooter are not mentioned for the time being, and the duel between James and George at the small forward position can be said to have attracted the attention of most people.

"Damn, this rookie is getting tougher!"

Frowning and staring at Paul in front of him. George, James thought to himself.

Compared to the regular season, after the Celtics series and the confrontation with Pierce, Anthony and other All-Star small forwards, George's skills have become more and more sophisticated, and his defense has become more difficult.

In just a few minutes of fighting, James has already felt that George's defensive ability is already better than that of the Bulls' small forward Ruhr. Deng was tougher, and even more troublesome, George's offense became extremely threatening, leaving James to be careful.

"This guy's progress is too great, right? How exactly did that Huaxia coach do it? ”

While James was secretly complaining, George's heart was also full of activities.

After playing Anthony and Pierce in the playoffs, he became more and more aware of James' strength.

As a small forward, James is far less proficient in offensive skills than Anthony and Pierce, but his physical fitness and the perfect combination of strength and basketball skills are unprecedented in the small forward position!

Just like the description in Jin Yong's martial arts, the heavy sword is unfair, and when the strength reaches a certain level, it can be destroyed in the face of any defense.

Every time James catches the ball, George basically knows that the opponent will definitely break through, but even if he knows and prepares in advance, he still can't defend it.

In front of him, it seemed that there was not a person at all, but a beast that was extremely arrogant!

"This monster ......"

Rubbing his chest that had been hit by James in the previous confrontation, George gritted his teeth and followed.

"Anyway, your opponent is me!"

……

In the first quarter of the game, the Wizards occupied the absolute initiative, staring at the weakness of Chalmers, Curry and Harden both played very well.

Curry scored 12 points in the first quarter, while Harden scored nine.

Relying on the efficient scoring of the two, the score of the two teams in the first quarter of the game was 34:26, and the Wizards led by 7 points at home.

On the Heat side, Wade scored 13 points and James scored 11 points, and the two almost covered all the scores of the Heat in the first quarter.

In the first quarter of the game between James and George, it was obviously James who had the upper hand, because George's side only scored 7 points in the first quarter.

However, such a situation was expected by Wang Xiao.

That's LeBron, after all. James is an existence that even in his prime, George has never defeated in the playoffs.

As long as George can do a good job of pestering James on the court and depleting the opponent's physical energy, it can be considered a successful defense.

In fact, the teams that have beaten James have basically done so.

In the 2014 Finals, Leonard, who was opposite James and claimed to have limited James and lifted the FMVP trophy, had only 17.8 points and 6 rebounds in the series, while James, who was limited by him, averaged 28 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

In the 2015 Finals, Iguodala, who beat Curry to win the FMVP trophy because of his defense of James, averaged only 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, while James, who was targeted by him throughout the game, averaged 35.8 points, 13 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.
