679: The Big Three
Wade made a strong dunk at the beginning, and generally, sending a dunk at the beginning was all Link's business. But today, Wade is the first to attack.
With just a change of pace, Wade passed Iguodala. It proves that his explosiveness, his aggressiveness, has returned.
This first shot was not only as simple as scoring points for the Heat, but also allowed Wade to show his form and determination.
He used a dunk to tell everyone in the room, "Tonight, no one can easily win the Heat!" ”
Link pouted, Wade was really ruthless today. What level Iguodala's defense is, Link knows too well. Wade's ability to pull Iguoda past in one step is by no means an easy matter.
Last season, Wade and Bosh were in poor form, which was indeed one of the reasons why the Grizzlies were able to win the championship. But Link doesn't think that after the Heat go all out, the Grizzlies won't be able to parry.
Changing the Grizzlies offense, it was Ray who defended Link today. Allen, because James has to stand up to the big black bear on the inside.
Thunder. Allen's current defense is basically based on pure experience, and in terms of body and speed, he has taken advantage of it.
Link didn't and Ray. Aaron is polite, he broke through very decisively after receiving a pass from Conley!
Thunder. Aaron took a step sideways in time, but couldn't withstand Link's onslaught, and his body couldn't keep up with his consciousness. Link broke in smoothly, Ray. Allen didn't put the slightest pressure on him, expecting it to be an easy attack.
As soon as he was halfway through, James made up for it! Sure enough, the Heat couldn't just send Ray. Allen went to defend Link alone, and they still had a backhand!
Facing the bag, Link did not hesitate and passed the ball to Randolph as soon as possible.
But James is not slow to react, as long as you are fast enough, you can take care of two offensive players at the same time.
After receiving the basketball, Randolph started shooting directly and was very decisive. But just as he was about to make a move, James jumped up and sealed it!
Navigating between Link and Randolph is not a difficult task for James!
"LeBron went back in time, Randolph didn't get an open shot! Didn't score, perfect defense, Miami Heat got off to a very good start! ”
"Damn!" Link cursed that the Heat's defense this year is much smarter than it was in last season's Finals. Last season, the Heat's defense was largely unable to contain Link. But today, the Heat put James' defensive prowess to good use.
James jumped twice after interfering with Randolph's shot and protected the rebound.
Then, it's the Heat's favorite long-distance run, counterattacking the fast break!
The Heat's big and four small lineup advantage is in a "fast", James, as a No. 4 position, can immediately push the counterattack when he gets a rebound, which is not something that other teams can easily do.
Once the counterattack is pushed, the black and white bear will struggle very much. And the black and white bears can't get in place, and the Grizzlies' biggest barrier on the defensive end is gone.
Dave. Jogel also thought about this problem before the start of the game, after all, last season, the Grizzlies won by playing one big and four small with the Heat.
But Joggle wants to gain an advantage on the inside, believing that the closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage. Isn't the weakest thing for the Heat the inside?
But now the Grizzlies' interior advantage has not been brought into play, but has become a disadvantage.
Link and Iguodala were quick to step back, but they were always hard to beat with two punches. When Wade and James cut in from the left and right, James passed the ball to the middle!
"Dragon King" Bosh received the basketball, took a big step, and dunked directly. Because Iguodala and Link were attracted to James and Wade, Bosh was not hindered in any way.
Bosh can play fast, and although they are both interior players, he is much faster than the black and white bears.
With two violent dunks in a row, the Heat played very strongly today.
"Aren't you going to give me a Christmas present? I'm waiting for you. Wade spewed trash words at Link again, and "The Flash" seemed to be about to enter pretend mode.
The audience was embarrassed, the state of the Heat is so good, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.
The Grizzlies attacked for the second time, this time Conley broke through Chalmers and went inside. Now on the court, it seems that Chalmers is the Heat's defensive hole.
But when Conley made a layup, he was blocked by Bosh who flew over.
In last season's Finals, Bosh lost on both ends of the floor. The offensive end is inefficient, and the defensive end is not efficient at protecting the frame.
But today, Bosh put up a real giant-level performance on both ends of the floor.
James received the basketball that was flown out by Bosh, and he grabbed the basketball with one hand and threw it forward like a quarterback.
The camera of the scene followed the orange afterimage of the basketball and moved quickly, only to realize that Wade had already run to the front court!
"Another long pass combination, Dwayne and LeBron are very tacit, they like this way of cooperation the most! Link quickly chased after him, could he catch up!? ”
Mike. Brin was already on his feet, and the game had just begun, and the scene was already very hot.
After two consecutive slam dunks and a block, there is now another fast break show. This finale is worthy of the waiting of all fans.
Wade received the basketball and headed straight for the basket, and in the process of breaking, he glanced back and saw that Link was following him.
Of course, Wade knows how brutal Link's chasing after him is, but he definitely doesn't lose to his younger self! You know, Wade is one of the league's most blocked guards. And Link's ability to chase and take risks is not below Wade in the slightest. Anyone who wants to go to the basket under Link's chase has to weigh it mentally.
But Wade was not scared and still bravely attacked the basket!
Link jumped up and raised his arms at the same time! In the stands, countless Grizzlies fans were ready to cheer. This ball, Bao Zhun is a pegboard hat!
But in the air, Wade suddenly threw the ball high to the rebound and threw it high for a layup!
Link pounced, and at the same time, because of inertia, he knocked Wade out of the bottom line!
Seeing such a fierce confrontation, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation. The whistle blew, and the basketball followed suit.
All Grizzlies fans were stunned, Link not only failed to put on a pegboard hat, but actually gave Wade a chance to play three points!
Wade stood up as soon as he fell, stood in front of the stands with his hands on his chest, and looked at the shocked Grizzlies fans with an unbeatable performance, showing his style.
"The Flash is back! The attack just now was so exciting! "Mike. Brin is cheering for Wade, and his partner Hubi. Brown was completely silent.
Is this wonderful Christmas Eve really going to be ruined by Miamins?
"It's so fast, they can form a counter-attack after almost every successful defense!" Randolph ran up and complained bitterly.
It hadn't been long since the game began, but Randolph was already sweating profusely. He and Gasol didn't do anything today, and they just ran away!
Link didn't say anything, only gritted his teeth and watched Wade stand on the free-throw line.
Wade has been inconsistent in shooting 73.3 percent from the free-throw line this season. But today at the Federal Express Arena, Wade took extra care when he made free throws.
Although the Grizzlies fans tried their best to boo and interfere, they still couldn't stop Wade from scoring a goal.
After hitting a free throw, Wade hit a three-pointer and the score became 7-0.
Wade and James weren't joking with Link, they were really unceremonious today.
7-0, the Grizzlies dug themselves a big hole as soon as they opened. Dave. Joggle hurriedly called off the game. The fans in the stands of the Federal Express Arena were stunned, they were actually the first to be stopped!?
How long has it been since this kind of thing has happened in this stadium?
It turns out that the two-interior lineup really can't play to the inside advantage in the face of the Heat's big four hours. Unless Randolph and Gasol can run and jump, that's another story. But the point is that Gasol and Randolph are both relatively slow traditional insiders.
This kind of twin-tower lineup has a great advantage in positional battles, but in the fast-paced chaotic battles, it can't exert its power.
The Heat's offense felt good today, with Wade and Bosh both excited. Although James has not scored yet, in terms of defensive performance, he must have been in good form today.
When the Big Three are all in full state, it is difficult to drag the Heat into a positional battle!
Joggle had no choice but to follow the same path as last season and use Jimmy. Butler replaces Randolph and puts Link in the No. 4 position.
However, unlike last season, Joggle did not let Conley control the ball, but instead put the responsibility of possession in Link's hands.
That's the advice Snyder just gave him.
"Link, next you have the ball and play the attack. Others, look for offensive opportunities and try to open up space! It's Christmas Eve in Memphis, and there's no reason for Miamians to party here! ”
Link nodded, then reached out his fist, bringing everyone's hands together.
"Grizzly bear!" Everyone yelled together, and their morale instantly recovered.
Link is back on the pitch, and today's Christmas present, no matter what!
