Chapter 18: Winning in Fitness

In fact, this is also the method that Ye Feng used to deal with Wade for a night.

Throughout Wade's career, lightning speed and a strong body were his unsolvable weapons.

But there are pros and cons to everything, and excess weight also restricts Wade.

Wade's career record for minutes played in a single season is 38.6 minutes, and only seven seasons have averaged more than 35 minutes per game.

And he has never had a full-time record in his career, with only seven seasons in more than 70 regular-season appearances.

And then look at the other superstars.

James' record for minutes per game in a single season is 42.5 minutes, a 15-season low of 35.7 minutes, and only two seasons have fewer than 70 games.

Bryant's single-season average minutes per game record is 41.5 minutes, with only one season of less than 36 minutes except for the seasons when he just debuted and is about to retire.

Even a super-large tonnage center like "Big Shark" O'Neal can play an average of 40 minutes per game at his peak.

After reading this, you will know how limited Wade's physical fitness is to his performance.

(Of course, that's compared to superstars.) Compared with ordinary players, Wade can also be regarded as durable. )

Therefore, Ye Feng discussed countermeasures with Brandon Malone that night.

On the defensive end, the Cavaliers' strongest Nickerson and Wade were hand-to-hand, and Sean was a backup for the wrestling team.

Ye Feng forced Wade to follow himself on the offensive end, and kept running with Wade to consume physical strength.

It's to consume Wade.

Brandon Malone had no way to deal with Wade on his own, so he naturally agreed with Ye Feng's idea.

Lost, that's as it should be.

Winning was his ability as an assistant coach and further showed that he was better than Stephen Silas.

And by this time, the strategy was finally starting to work, and Wade wasn't as good as he was at the beginning.

The Heat have the ball, and Wade is offensive.

Wade's super-fast first step still managed to pass Nexon.

But after passing, he didn't choose to play alone, but shared the ball.

It's a pity that small forward Ellis hit an iron.

In turn, Ye Feng once again got rid of Wade's defense and hit a three-pointer.

85:85 flat.

"Hey, Wade, what are you doing, actually letting that Asian kid shoot consecutive three-pointers! Keep up with him and don't let him score again. ”

The Heat coach didn't notice the situation yet, but yelled at Wade, hoping that he would continue to show strong defensive ability.

However, Wade not only couldn't defend it, but on the offensive end, he didn't even score a layup and gave the ball to the Cavaliers.

"Incredible ability, Wade was consumed alive by the Cavaliers guards, and Brandon came up with a brilliant plan."

Fraser exclaimed.

didn't know that it wasn't Brandon Malone who thought of this method at all, but Ye Feng.

"Yes, but it's only going to be used in Summer League. If it goes into the real game, Wade will get help, and he won't be left alone on both ends of the floor. ”

Mike Brin continues Wade blowing.

"Now, it's the Heat coach's turn to be anxious, and he needs to find a way to help Wade. Let Wade rest, otherwise Wade will be in poor shape all the time. And if Wade is off, no one can guard against the Cavaliers' Ye, who is the fastest guard on the court except for Wade. ”

Fraser is more objective.

Sure enough, the Heat coach was not a fool and found out the fact that Wade couldn't run.

Gritting his teeth, he was going to replace Wade.

But Wade shook his head and refused.

Wade is well aware that if he goes down for a few minutes of rest, the Heat will likely be blown up, just like he did the first few times.

This Heat team relies on Wade's ability alone.

Wade refuses to lose, he craves victory!

Attacking, Wade can still exert strength, no one can stop him from breaking through, but his own shooting rate has begun to decline.

On the defensive end, he no longer stared at Ye Feng, and instead let Sam, who was well rested, restrict Ye Feng.

As soon as the defender was changed, Ye Feng's pressure suddenly decreased.

Sam was tall, but not really fast enough.

And Ye Feng doesn't need to hold the ball to break through him, he only needs to use the running position to get rid of Sam's defense.

Coupled with whether Thornton and Capono came out to block and cover without the ball, Ye Feng had a chance to make a shot.

After work, it was still Wade and Ye Feng's heads-up.

Wade relied on his body to score inside time and time again.

Ye Feng is three points, or break through the ball to create opportunities for teammates.

There are 6 minutes left in the game, 106:97.

Wade held the ball, faced Nixon's defense, and did not hesitate to break through.

But his feet were weak, and he actually fell to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time.

The Heat team was in a hurry, and the team doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Thankfully, Wade was just too tired and a little prostrated and had no injuries.

But in the next game, Wade will definitely not be able to play.

However, the Heat without Wade is really too weak.

As the final whistle blew, the Cavaliers upset the top-seeded Heat 119-103.

Ye Feng played 48 minutes, shooting 14-of-23 from the field, 9-of-15 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 39 points. He also had 2 rebounds and 8 assists.

Capono had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

Gelani had 19 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Thornton had 10 points and six rebounds.

Nixon scored six points on 2-of-7 shooting, 0-of-2 three-pointers and 2-of-4 free throws. Although it scored less, it was the Cavaliers who paid the most on the defensive end.

In terms of the Heat, Wade played 37 minutes, facing the hand-to-hand combat of Nickerson and Sean, Ye Feng's physical strength was still 20 of 41 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 11 free throws, scoring 49 points.

Wade set a scoring record for this Orlando Summer League, but the Heat lost for the first time.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers celebrated, and a win would add a lot of points to their summer league performance.

Teammates surrounded Ye Feng, touching their heads and patting their backs.

But at this moment, Ye Feng sat on the ground, his face pale.

"It's okay, I'm just tired!"

Ye Feng explained.

Even if you are an iron man, you will be tired to run for 48 minutes like this, not to mention that a lot of time is still running in Wade's confrontation.

Ye Feng couldn't bear it.

The Heat, on the other hand, left dejectedly.

Especially Wade, he glanced at Ye Feng who was sitting on the ground, and his eyes were unwilling.

On the offensive end, Wade broke through and was invincible, and no one could stop him.

On the defensive end, Wade took care of Ye Feng to death, and there were almost no opportunities to shoot.

But who would have thought that he would lose in physical strength.

"It turned out that he was tired for a long time, but he persevered!"

Wade was a little annoyed, if he could hold on for another 5 minutes, maybe Ye Feng would be the first to get off the court, then the result of the game would definitely be different from now.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and if you lose, you lose.

Looking at Ye Feng, who had played on the field for 48 minutes and had never rested, Wade took this person to heart and included him in the opponent list.

Before that, the names on this list were: LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh......
