Chapter 183: Wade's Way
Bruce. Wade has not only inherited the number of the old Wade, but also his skills, and has even surpassed Dwyane in some aspects. Wade.
"Wade vs James, there's a good show to watch." The front row is ready for battle, and small snacks and drinks are readily available.
Players from both sides entered the court, with the Lakers wearing traditional gold uniforms and the Heat wearing white uniforms.
There is no doubt that Wade and James will be the focus of this game, and the performance of both of them will directly determine the direction of the game.
The fly in the ointment is that James is a small forward on the court, while Wade is a shooting guard, and the two are not in the same position, which means that there are not many opportunities for the two to face each other head-to-head in the game.
Howard carried the championship wind, forced the opponent's center half of the body, and helped the home team get the first wave of offensive possession without any suspense.
The race officially begins, and the timer begins.
A big reason why the Lakers can win the championship is that James is willing to let go of some of the ball to other players, and he will not be too involved in the organization in the opening stage, unless the team really can't open the situation, he will step in to solve the problem.
The opening first shot was crucial, and apart from James, McGrady was the team's most reliable outside shooter, and the coach revolved around him to develop the offensive tactics of the first shot, helping him get open three-point opportunities through pick-and-roll and covering, and McGrady was also very good, shooting 78% on his first shot this season, for the first place of all players.
James put up to cover McGrady and successfully stopped Wade who was chasing the defense, McGrady came directly to the bottom corner vacancy, Paul was quick to pass the ball, and deliberately added a slight spin to the basketball in order to avoid the basketball being broken.
"Good pass!" McGrady received the ball and shot directly, turned back to defend directly after landing, and the basketball fell into the basket.
This is the confidence of a strong man, he has already predicted the outcome of the goal at the moment of shooting, so there is no need to look at it.
The goal reminded Mu Chenfeng of Carlisle Curry, who had scored a similar goal in training camp, but McGrady's goal was more exaggerated.
The tactics of [the first goal of the opening game] were a complete success, McGrady and Paul high-fived in the defense, but the most critical thing about this ball was not the pass and shot, but James's high-quality cover, his block angle found a very tricky one, directly blocked two defenders, which gave McGrady an easy chance to shoot.
The Heat's offense is not as conservative as the Lakers' offense, and the ball is directly handed over to Wade, who executes the offense.
This is actually a forced choice, the Heat team is behind the opponent in the matchup, Wade has become the team's only advantage in the position, to ensure the success rate of the offense to bite the score, can only give the ball to the most sure player.
Wade held the ball on the outside looking for an offensive breakthrough, the champion's defense was seamless, and the rest of his teammates were targeted.
James slowly approached McGrady, ready to wrap up with him, but was refused, "I don't have to come here, I can handle it alone." ”
This is obviously underestimating Wade, so Wade plans to use singles to fight back.
When it comes to speed, the name of the former Flash resounded throughout the NBA, and that was after Dwyane Wade removed the meniscus, and Wade Jr. has a complete meniscus compared to his father, and he seems to have surpassed the old Wade in speed, and he is the new Flash.
"Is this the speed that a person can achieve?" It took less than a second for McGrady to be slapped in the face, and he didn't even see Wade's movements clearly, and the ball was still a crotch ball.
Wade passed the ball and broke through the defender, but his speed did not decrease at all, and the speed of the defender could not match it at all, and he was left far behind, and Howard under the basket could only jump on the spot to block, Wade flashed in the air, successfully avoided the defense, and scored the ball after a small lever.
The shot showcased Wade's exceptional speed, and no one in the NBA could match his pace.
"If you fight like this as soon as you come up, won't there be a problem?" Mu Chenfeng did not cheer as unpassionately as others, but calmly analyzed the game situation.
"That's what I'm worried about, coming up and going all out will take a big toll on Wade's fitness, and if it comes to the decisive moment, will he still have the strength to compete with James?" Joining him in his composure was Felix, who was not watching the game as spectators, but was fully engaged in the game.
The "abnormal" performance of the two attracted the attention of George and Luis, who really deserved to be the players that the two of them fancied, only the two of them understood the real purpose of watching the game, not simply watching the game, but learning.
In the second round of offense, James still did not participate, but the Lakers changed their tactics and launched an attack against the Heat's weakest interior line, although Howard is not the top in the league, but at least he can rank in the top ten at the center position, and the worst thing for the Heat is the interior.
Paul slipped the baseline and pretended to break through to look for opportunities, and after successfully attracting the defense of the Heat center, he passed the ball to Howard with a hit, and the latter got up unmarked with a two-handed dunk that made the basket buzz.
However, Howard was also whistled for a technical foul because of his unemotional celebration and pulling the basket, which is his old problem, and he always can't control his excitement, so Howard also expressed helplessness and can only claim a technical foul.
"Isn't it, the penalty should also be executed personally?"
Wade stepped up to the free throw line to take the free throw.
"Free throws like this are generally carried out by the player with the most stable free throws in the team, although Wade is not the highest free throw shooting rate in the team, but his hand is the hottest, this free throw opportunity came too quickly, and the other teammates are not even hot yet, so it is reasonable for him to execute it." George gave the right answer to Mu Chenfeng and Felix, and the ball had to be executed by him.
Wade lived up to expectations, hit a free throw, and the Heat still had offensive possession, and the score would be overtaken.
McGrady knew he couldn't keep up with Wade's speed, so he didn't turn down James' help this time.
However, the two still have no way to restrain Wade, although the two of them look very powerful, but if the defensive ability of the two people in the bag is too different, it will make the bag full of flaws, Wade does not need to take care of James's defense at all, only needs to target McGrady.
Wade's breakthrough is very different from the breakthrough of ordinary players, he can complete the change of direction with almost no speed loss in the process of breaking, which he completely inherits the breakthrough characteristics of the old Wade.
Wade broke through from the right side of McGrady at a very fast speed, and the opponent mobilized all his strength to barely keep up, and suddenly changed direction, shaking McGrady to the ground, and he broke through from another time, James came to make up for the defense, Wade then made a sharp stop, even James was shaken out a meter away, shot from a mid-distance, and the basketball gently slid into the basket.
The score is overtaken !!
In the opening two goals, people seemed to really see the figure of the Flash who passed the league with speed in the past, and this lightning was younger and faster than him.
The score was behind, James finally entered the game, got the ball from Paul's hands, and at 9:58, James touched the ball for the first time in the game.
As soon as James touched the ball, a deafening "MVP" cry rang out across the court.
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
The last time the player enjoyed this treatment was called Kobe Bryant.
James' shot was immediate, the defense was to complicate the opposition's offense, and the role of the star was to make the game simple.
Needless to say, Howard's superiority on the interior is hardly limited by one-on-one defense.
Shout!
The basketball drew a straight line from outside the three-point line to Howard's hand, the pass was very sudden, coupled with the speed and power, the Heat did not react, only James can wear such a high-quality pass.
He has already carried a technical foul, Howard does not dare to be unscrupulous, two technical fouls will be expelled, so Howard chooses to end the offense with a hook hand, although the hook hand is not as good as a dunk, but it is more than enough to deal with an interior player of this level.
James' blank stat bar has finally been filled, and as in the past 59 games of the season, the first number in his stats must be assists.
This has only started to happen this season, when James' scoring and rebounding stats have been so focused on scoring and rebounding in previous seasons, and assists have become his number one choice this season.
His assists are not too many bells and whistles, simple, direct and effective, like a sharp knife, piercing the opponent's vital point.
If the start of the game is a microcosm, the Lakers are the best representative of team basketball, and the Heat are the ultimate in individual ability.
The team is behind, Wade is always the first to step up, from Dwyane to Bruce, they are willing to give everything for the team.
"Leave it to me." James and McGrady are going to swap defenders and defend Wade himself.
"I ......" McGrady was very helpless, because he couldn't limit the opponent and was forced to change the defender, which was a very big blow to a player's confidence, but McGrady really couldn't prevent Wade, and if he continued to play like this, it would only become the background of the opponent's data.
"Didn't I say that clearly enough?" James was very disappointed with McGrady's performance, but he didn't expect Wade to be on fire from the start, in fact, he was not completely sure that he could defend Wade.
"Here we go." Wade smiled smugly when he saw that it was James in front of him, as if he had been expecting this evenly matched match.
The two faced each other head-to-head for the first time, and they cheered before the fight began.
"It's really simple and crude." Louis sighed as if he had thought of something.
"How?" Mu Chenfeng asked.
"James retained his physical strength by not participating in the offense, in order to open up a gap with Wade in terms of physical fitness, and Wade stepped on the accelerator to the end at the beginning and pressed McGrady crazily, which forced the Lakers to change their defensive strategy, and Wade embodied the intensity of the game that only James's ability can match, so James had to switch to Wade, shattering his wishful thinking of retaining physical fitness."
"In this way, there will be no physical disparity between the two." Mu Chenfeng added.
"Yes, worthy of being the son of Dwyane Wade, he is very vigorous and resolute like his father."
"Maybe that's Wade's way."
