Chapter 295: Don't let people play?
A George gave him a headache at the beginning, the kraft candy-like defense, the offensive ability that can't be left alone, and the fighting spirit that never admits defeat make James feel very uncomfortable.
Although James is often the one who has the upper hand in the confrontation between the two, whether it is the process or the final data, he can stabilize George's head, but the final victory of the game is often won by the Wizards.
Because he is already the most capable of the Heat, and George is not the ace of the Wizards......
Now, George is completely out of the opposite position and replaced by Leonard.
The second-year rookie's offensive ability is a step worse than George's, but his defensive ability is even better.
Better physical fitness, longer arm span and faster growth rate than George made Leonard mercilessly beaten by James in the playoffs last season, but by the end of this season's season, his defensive ability has risen more than one notch!
This is just a second-year rookie!!
……
On the sidelines, looking at James, who was overwhelmed by Leonard, Wang Xiao smiled with a little satisfaction.
Leonard's speed of improvement is very gratifying to him, although he is not obvious in terms of personal data, but with his full training bonus at any cost, Leonard's strength has improved amazingly, and now he may not be inferior to the level of another time and space 13-14 season.
You must know that during that time period, Leonard won the Finals MVP with the credit of defending James in the Finals, thus opening the road to superstardom!
With such a Leonard marking the whole process, it is enough for James to stand it!
And Leonard's task is only to keep an eye on James throughout the whole process, and the offense does not need him to worry about it, and the Wizards have never lacked offensive firepower.
……
After George opened the game, the second person to take over the fire was Clay. Thompson.
In order to limit Curry's play, the Heat, as always, let Wade mark Curry and Chalmers mark Thompson.
It's not the first time or two that this kind of scene has happened, and Thompson has long been familiar with it, and Chalmers's defense seems to be useless in front of him.
Running to the basket with the baseline and easily opening up some space with the help of the inside block, Thompson received the ball and turned over to make a jumper, and the basketball easily entered the net without any obstacles.
On the court, the Wizards once again took the initiative, and compared with the Wizards, who had many offensive points and could attack from any position, the Heat's offense was extremely blocked.
Under the marking of Leonard, Thompson, and George, the Heat's tactics are extremely difficult to execute, and they basically can't get rid of their respective defenders, even if they rely on blocking and dismantling to separate the defenders, the Wizards' side is fast enough to change the defense so fast that the Heat have no time to execute the tactics.
Aside from steals or fast breaks after defensive rebounds, the only way the Heat maintain offensive efficiency is to keep players single.
James, Wade, Bosh and others took turns to play, constantly relying on their individual ability to attack, but this offensive efficiency was not high, after all, the three of them faced the Wizards' strongest defensive players.
At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led by nine points, 33-24.
Such a result is a joy for Wizards fans.
"What about 27 wins? Not the same is not our opponent? ”
"What bullshit 27 wins, it's just that they didn't meet the Wizards, if they had met us earlier, they wouldn't have even won ten in a row!"
The Heat's winning streak after the All-Star Weekend made it catch up with the Wizards in the record standings, and although the Wizards maintained a high winning rate as always, they also lost a lot of games that they shouldn't have lost due to the frequent rotation of Curry and other players, which made the gap between the two teams' records gradually narrow.
Before the start of this game, the Wizards had a record of 65 wins and 13 losses, while the Heat team was 63 wins and 15 losses, with a win difference of only 2 games.
And now, judging from the situation in the first quarter of the game, your uncle is still your uncle, even if he wins the second in league history with 27 consecutive wins, the Heat are still at a disadvantage when they play against the Wizards.
……
In the second quarter of the game, the Heat made another adjustment to the lineup, they replaced Chalmers, let Ray . Allen came on early.
On the one hand, this arrangement is to strengthen the outside firepower, so as to assist James and others to better pull the space, and on the other hand, Ray Ray. Although Allen is older and his defensive ability has declined, he is also much better than Chalmers, and he can more or less curb Thompson's offensive rhythm by defending him.
The effect of such an adjustment is indeed very good, but in Wang Xiao's opinion, it is just drinking to quench his thirst.
Thunder. Allen came on early, which meant that when the bench came on, the Heat were missing the main scoring point.
Originally, the Heat's bench lineup was far inferior to that of the Wizards, and now there is no Ray. Allen's fire support and offensive ability have dropped a notch.
And even if it's Thunder. Allen appeared early, and the Heat could only maintain a five-to-five match with the Wizards on the court.
……
Similar to Wang Xiao's expectations, as the main force came off the field one after another, and the substitute players appeared, the situation of five or five was immediately broken.
Jamison, Chandler. Parsons & Jimmy. Players like Butler are in just too good shape, and the Heat's aging bench lineup is simply no match for them.
The one-sided situation forced the Heat to let James come on early to maintain the situation.
However, as soon as James came on the court, the opponent he faced changed from Leonard to Drummond. Green.
Green's current defensive ability is naturally not comparable to Leonard, George and others, but he is also a player who has won the best defensive player in the future, and has become a tough defensive player who has never missed the best defensive team since the 14-15 season.
Even if Green's defensive style is disgusting to many, and he will do everything to limit opponents and poke at the eye, as a player, there is no doubt that Green is the kind of player that coaches like very much.
At this moment, Wang Xiao felt that James's heart must have collapsed.
In fact, James is on the verge of going half-crazy.
After two simple collisions, James found that although Green's defensive ability is much worse than Leonard's, he is also a very difficult opponent! And this guy's defensive style is a lot dirtier than Leonard's.
Just in the process of breaking through with the ball, he was secretly elbowed by Green!
Can you stop playing like this, I just want to play well!
First Caron. Butler, then George, Leonard, and now a Green popping up, is this still not letting people live?
