The Heat, on their side, handed the ball directly to James, who singled Leonard.

Leonard defended hard, but was almost carried by James to the basket to score.

In the face of Leonard, George and others, he can easily rush into the interior with his strength, and if he is against an interior player with a heavier tonnage than him, he can use his speed to get rid of the opponent.

Since the Heat's center at this time is Bosh, who has a range that can reach beyond the three-point line, and when he pulls out to the outside, McGee also has to follow out, so the Wizards have no players under the basket who can complement James.

There is no way, even in the season when the Spurs won the championship in 14 years, Leonard, who got the FMVP, was still in a situation of being unilaterally blown up in the confrontation with James.

In five games with a total score of 4:1, James averaged 28.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 57% from the field.

Leonard averaged just 17.8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

It can be said that the best thing about Leonard's defense of James in the entire series is that he perfectly limits James' ability to respond to the pass through one-on-one single defense.

The average of 4 assists per game is far lower than James' career playoff assist tally, and it also makes it impossible for the rest of the Heat players to get James' assistance.

Wade 15 points, Bosh 14 points. Allen has 9 points, and it would be strange if the Heat could beat the Spurs in such a situation.

Wang Xiao's tactics for Leonard are the same as the Spurs, trying his best to consume James on the defensive end, and at the same time cutting off James' connection with other players, no matter how strong James is, it is impossible to play the whole game.

On the Wizards' side, the main backcourt double guns of Curry and Thompson, Chalmers is still very embarrassed, he can't keep an eye on Curry, and he can't play with Wade to switch defenses to stare at Thompson, Thompson is a big shooter of 2.01 meters.

As long as Chalmers defends whoever he defends, he will single.

After a half-day trade-off, the Heat decided to prevent Curry and let Thompson go, after all, Curry is a super scorer who averages 32 points per game in the regular season, while Thompson only averages a dozen points per game in the regular season.

Unfortunately, they don't know who will hold the league's single-quarter scoring record in the future.

Thompson, who scored 37 points in less than 12 minutes, was no worse than Curritian.

Thompson, who is still in the first-year rookie stage, is not as strong as the future, but after a whole season of practicing under the training bonus of Wang Xiao's training system, Thompson's progress speed is definitely not to be underestimated.

When Chalmers stood in front of him to defend, Thompson almost didn't hesitate to pick up a three-pointer directly from the outside.

The 1.88-meter Chalmers obviously didn't expect Thompson to be so decisive, he jumped hard to interfere, but he was in front of the 2.01-meter Thompson, and Thompson's shot was extremely fast, and Chalmers's hand had not reached Thompson's eyes, and the basketball had already leaped into the air.

"Brush!"

The basketball goes into the net with precision, and there is no noise except for the crisp sound of brushing the net.

5:2！

Wang Xiao stood on the sidelines, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

Looks like Thompson is feeling hot today.

The offense and defense switched, and the Heat still played James.

And the Wizards continue to use Leonard's single defense.

In a similar vein, James once again used his power to squeeze into the interior and score on a layup.

Wang Xiao didn't care about James scoring at all, and even wished that he would consume more physical strength in the first half of the game, so that his physical strength was exhausted in the last quarter.

The Wizards' offense is much easier to score than the Heat.

After the switch between offense and defense, the Wizards took advantage of George's speed advantage on the power forward's side, asked for Bass's defense, and scored a layup.

In the first quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the Wizards did not break out with a wave of strong offense to directly open the point difference, and the Heat team also failed to do it.

The first quarter ended 26-27 with the Wizards leading by one point.

James scored 14 points in the first quarter and shot 64% from the field, which was very efficient.

But immediately after this section, James began to deliberately close the fight.

The high frequency of output in the first quarter made him feel that the situation was not good, under Leonard's defense, although his offensive efficiency was as always, but the energy and physical strength required to score was much greater than usual, this kraft candy-like rookie is indeed difficult to deal with, and even more difficult than in the regular season.

In the second quarter of the game, the Heat put the main offensive point on Wade and Bosh.

It didn't turn out well.

Thompson's defensive ability can be ranked third in the Wizards, second only to Leonard and George, with a height of 2.01 meters, he can be said to have an advantage in the position of scoring guard, and the single defense is very good, the only thing he is afraid of is the player who simply uses speed to break through, after all, his speed can only be ranked in the middle of the guard.

Wade, at his peak, can undoubtedly penetrate Thompson, and passing him is as easy as a tree stump.

But Wade, who has been 12 years old, is already at the end of his prime, and his knee injury has made him less explosive than before, and his style and way of playing are completely different from when he was at his peak.

Now Wade has reduced the number of times he hits the basket, increased the number of mid-to-long-range jumpers, and mainly relies on blocking and rhythm changes to play the time difference when he breaks through, rather than using his speed to pass the opponent in one step.

Don't look at Thompson as a first-year rookie, but because there are two defensive experts around him, Leonard and George, the defensive experience is not bad at all, and even if he is slightly out of position, relying on his height and arm span, he can still interfere with Wade's shooting, so Wade's offensive efficiency is not high, the shooting rate is only maintained at about 43%, and the number of shots is not much.

In contrast, Bosh's attacking environment is slightly better, but it is not much stronger, after all, he is playing against Javier. McGee, what McGee is good at is relying on speed and bounce to block opponents, and in the face of large-tonnage traditional insiders, McGee will often suffer a lot, because he can't bear the opponent's inside footsteps, but in the face of Bosh's type of inside, it is much easier.

In front of McGee, it is even difficult for Bosh, who is the main power forward, to squeeze into the inside, and can only catch and shoot on the perimeter, even if Bosh's range can reach outside the three-point line, the long-range shooting percentage is not stable.

What made Heat head coach Spoelstra even more unable to sit still was that in the two quarters of the game, he found that the team seemed to have a special difficulty in protecting rebounds, McGee could always appear at the landing point of the rebound, and then grab the offensive rebounds, and in the two quarters of the game, this guy who averaged rebounds per game in the regular season failed to get a double-double actually grabbed 4 offensive rebounds! And George and Leonard also had 1 offensive rebound each.

That's a full 6 offensive rebounds!
