Chapter 16: Cavaliers vs. Heat
July 13th.
Orlando Summer League Round 5.
Cavaliers vs Heat.
The live commentary was ESPN celebrity Mike Brin and NBA legend Walter Frazier.
"Mike, is there anything you'd like to say about tonight's game? Who do you think will emerge victorious? ”
Fraser asked.
"Who will emerge victorious? No, no, no! It's not a question, I'm focused on what kind of stats Wade can hack. ”
Mike Brin flashes his trademark smile.
"You mean, the Heat won?"
Fraser asked cooperatively in order to get Mike Brin to continue.
Of course, not yet officially in the NBA, Wade has already shown his unmatched speed and lightning-fast breakaways. I just want to know how far Wade can go. You know, Michael Jordan officially retired last year, and none of the four Jordan successors can become the real Jordan, so why can't Wade be the next one? ”
Mike Brin analyzed.
“......”
Fraser opened his mouth, even he didn't expect his partner to think so highly of Wade.
Enter the player appearance.
The Heat's lineup is:
Centre: Coles
Power forward: Jerome
Small forward: Ellis
Shooting guard: Dwyane Wade
Defender: Sam
Wade made the finale and immediately drew cheers from the fans.
In Summer League, this is a very rare situation, but Wade has conquered all the fans with his performances in the first four games.
The Heat's lineup has nothing to say, because the Heat's tactic is that Wade breaks through with the ball, and the other four people watch the show.
Wade plays by himself when he has a good opportunity, and divides the ball if he is bad.
To put it simply, Wade is a one-man team.
It was the Cavaliers' turn to play.
Centre: Gerani
Power forward: Thornton
Small forward: Jason Capo
Shooting guard: Nickerson
Organizational Defender: Ye Feng
Following the defeat of the Bucks in the last round, Cavaliers' assistant coach Brandon Malone seems to be starting to change the lineup again. If I'm not mistaken, Hua Xia Ye should be the No. 4 point guard, but today he appeared at the No. 5 position, I don't know what new tactical ideas Brandon has. ”
Fraser was keenly aware of the Cavaliers' starting lineup.
"yes, hopefully Brandon's new tactics will allow the Cavaliers to hold on a little longer and not let the game go into garbage time too soon."
Mike Brin is clearly leaning in favor of the Heat.
When the players on both sides came on the field, Nickerson walked next to Ye Feng: "Why do you recommend me to be the starter?" Do you think such a favor will make me appreciate you? ”
Because of the competition for the same position, Nickerson was very hostile to Ye Feng.
"It's simple, I want to win, and you're the strongest defender on our team, and only you can barely fight Wade physically."
Ye Feng told the truth.
Wade's talent is terrifying, lightning fast, but too strong.
Look at the Cavaliers again, Ye Feng is too thin, Luji and Sean are European defenders, and they can't keep up.
Only Nexon, who has good speed and strength, is closest to Wade.
"Then you're not afraid that I will release the water and deliberately let you lose?"
Nickerson said.
As a competitor, what I am most willing to do is naturally to work against Ye Feng.
"Huh! If I lose, do you win? ”
Ye Feng sneered, looked at Nexon contemptuously, turned around and left.
"You!"
Seeing Ye Feng's disdainful eyes, where could the young Nexen bear it?
"Okay, I'll do my defensive duty against Wade. But yourself, don't be blown up by the other party, or I will despise you at that time. ”
Ye Feng didn't speak, but a smile appeared on his face.
That's what you want.
Honk~
The whistle blew.
Gelani had the upper hand on the jump ball and flicked the ball back into the Cavaliers' half.
Ye Feng advanced with the ball and entered the front court.
Sam pressed directly up, clinging to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng shot 6 of 8 three-pointers in the last game, and scored a few difficult three-pointers, of course, the Heat could not let Ye Feng shoot easily.
Looking at Sam who was 198 cm in front of him, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth raised, is this to prevent his own shooting?
It's a pity that Ye Feng doesn't plan to shoot now.
Syllable!
After slapping the ball, Ye Feng suddenly lowered his center of gravity and rushed past Sam's left side with a big stride.
Because it was so close, Sam didn't even react, and Ye Feng left him behind.
Left side of the free throw line, Ye Feng jumper.
Swish!
Hit a mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers took the lead, 2-0.
"So fast! I think everyone underestimated Ye, at the speed he just had, he was already the fastest group of guards in the NBA! ”
Fraser explained.
Of course it's fast enough, Ye Feng smiled.
Last night, he finally decided to add three player stat points to speed.
Now, he's 83 points. Even against Wade, the gap is not big.
As for the idea of adding strength to the originally, Ye Feng gave up. 40 and 43, is there any difference?
The result was all blown up.
Heat ball possession.
The other four pulled away, and Wade held the ball.
Nickerson took a big step to defend Wade.
Don't worry about Wade's long-distance shooting, after all, Wade's long-range shooting is really inaccurate at this time, and the invincible thing is to break through.
Syllable!
A crotch dribble, Wade suddenly activated.
Fast! It's just too fast.
Nixon, who had a speed of 80 points, was directly half of his body.
Fortunately, Nickson pulled away in advance, and at this time, he could barely jam Wade's side and reduce Wade's speed by using his positional advantage.
But he underestimated Wade too much, and Wade's body was even stronger than him.
Just squeezed hard, Wade still hit the inside line and threw to score.
The score is 2:2.
Looking back, the knight has the ball, and Ye Feng holds the ball.
This time, Sam didn't dare to defend Ye Feng closely, just now he had already eaten the bitter fruit of speed.
Sam is 198 centimeters tall and shoots with ease, but his weakness is that he is not fast.
Fast guards in the NBA are generally under 195 centimeters tall.
Westbrook 191 cm, Ross 191 cm, Wade 193 cm, Iverson 183 cm......
At more than 195 centimeters, even Jordan and Kobe Bryant, although they are fast, they are definitely not the opponents of the previous few people in terms of speed.
Not to mention 198 cm, which is already unpleasant Sam.
Syllable!
Ye Feng didn't talk nonsense, he still broke through directly.
Sam judged Ye Feng's route and came up to block it, and his tall stature was very useful.
But Ye Feng directly crossed over, and then broke to the other side.
This time, Sam really couldn't help it.
It was another mid-range jumper after the breakaway.
4:2。
Unguarded shooting is still relatively easy for Ye Feng.
Coming back, Wade broke through for a layup and scored.
4:4 draw.
Four minutes passed, 15:14, the Cavaliers led by one point, and both sides were efficient.
Everyone found out that the Cavaliers and the Heat turned out to be exactly the same offensive tactics.
One person breaks through, and four people watch the play. It's just that the Heat rely on Wade, and the Cavaliers rely on Ye Feng.
For the Heat, Wade had 11 points and 2 rebounds, Ellis had 3 points, and only two of them scored.
Cavaliers, Ye Feng 8 points and 2 assists, Kapono 3 points, Gerani 2 points, Thornton 2 points, only Nixon, who focused on defense, did not score.
Sam and Nixon were the most pitiful, both of whom were blown up by opposing scorers.
Sam no longer knows how to defend, get closer, and Ye Feng will break through; Pulling it apart slightly, Ye Feng still has a long shot.
Nickerson was a little better, because Brandon had already told him in advance what might happen and said hello.
So even after being blown up, Nickerson did not feel down, but continued to fight with Wade for muscles.
Seeing this, the Heat's coach was not satisfied.
The Heat, with Wade, actually played four minutes with the Bad Cavaliers, and they were still one point behind.
"Sam, you go and switch to Nexon. Wade, strangle that little Asian man, stop him scoring! ”
