Chapter 646: The Flash's Cell
Huge heat enveloped the arena in the center of the American airline, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and at this time the stadium has been turned into a large steamer. The temperature inside is even higher than outside, at least at night in Dallas there is a constant breeze blowing outside.
After Yiyang rested in the locker room, he was soaking wet. He quickly changed into a clean spare jersey, the one he wore in the first half of the game was completely glued to his body.
"Hold on for one more half, guys! The Heat guys are just as uncomfortable, and now, it's up to them to see who can make it to the end! "Carlisle was more painful than the players because he also had to wear a thick blazer in such heat.
These damn rules of the alliance are really damn right now!
"The first half was tied and the Mavericks didn't have any advantage. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the Heat were able to kill the Mavericks perfectly in the regular season! As long as the Big Three continue to exert their strength, the Mavericks will have nothing to do! "Kenny. Smith tugged at his neckline, but it was all hot air by now.
"Don't jump to conclusions, it's just half a game. Wade's first half of the game can be said to be played at a super level, with a lot of balls in Tony. Aaron was still able to score despite interference. But don't expect Dwayne to carry on this magical performance until the end. Barkley's words may offend a lot of Heat fans, but it's true.
"Is it possible to block Dwayne like the clean sheet Lillard? Besides, the two of them are not in the same place. "Kenny. Smith waved his hand, he was too hot to talk to Buckley.
Just before the start of the game, staff at the American Airlines Center Arena stepped into the stadium with microphones and announced the damage to the stadium's air conditioning system.
As soon as this news came out, the audience was in an uproar. No wonder it's the same place as the stove, it turns out that there is a problem with the air conditioner.
The fans' T-shirts were already soaking wet, and they couldn't imagine how the players would have to hold on in such heat.
When the players came out of the tunnel to prepare for the second half, everyone was sweating profusely, as if they had just come off the pitch.
James is well aware that such a high temperature is an even bigger test for the Heat. Because in terms of roster depth, the Heat are far inferior to the Mavericks. The further the game dragged on, the more tired everyone became, and the more the Heat, who had fewer personnel options, suffered.
"Dwayne, Chris, let's try to pull the score away in the third quarter!" Before James came on the court, he stared at the big screen on the scene and said to his two partners.
"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Wade replied softly, and Bosh just nodded.
"Remember, lock Dwayne. Let LeBron get into the singles, wear them down, and walk away with the victory! ”
Carlisle clapped his hands as he finished speaking, and the electronic beep that represented the start of the second half of the game finally sounded. Yiyang finally wiped his sweat and put the towel on the bench.
Coming, Dwayne!
"The second half of the game finally began, and the two sides continued their unfinished duel! Dwayne still drove the ball himself, and his excellent play in the second quarter of the first half was the main reason why the Heat are not behind ...... "Kenny. Before Smith could finish his sentence, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes stared at the court in surprise.
Because he saw that Wade had just crossed the halfway line, Yiyang waved his arms and stuck to it! Carlisle, that guy still can't sit still!?
"Hmph, did it attract too much attention?" Wade snorted, then turned sideways. One hand held Yiyang up, trying not to let him get close to his cylinder. The other hand dribbles steadily, looking for opportunities.
"Coach Carlisle actually made Nick. Young was a bold decision to start the second half and then let Yi go to guard Wade. ”
"If you're going to say, it's a smart decision, Kenny. Chalmers' contribution on the offensive end is almost negligible, and it's a bit of a waste to dedicate himself to defending him. Now swap to defend Wade, and at the same time make Nick . Young increases the team's attacking power. I have to say, this is a very clever adjustment! ”
After Wade was entangled by Yiyang, he couldn't get rid of it for a while. He reached out and called Bosh to block and dismantle for him, but Wade had just taken a step through the pick-and-roll, and Yiyang squeezed through the cover and pasted it again.
"Damn!" Seeing this, Wade had to slow down, this guy really didn't give an inch!
There was no way, in order not to delay the game, Wade had to play the ball to James.
James held the ball and dummered a shot, then leaned directly on Iguodala to break through. Don't look at James all the time going inside, but fighting Iguodala is no effortless task.
After using his strong body to carry Iguodala away, James forced a layup. The basketball went over Gobert's fingers, grazed the rebound and refracted into the net, and James scored again!
"The great LeBron, he always stepped up in time whenever the team got into trouble!"
Countless commentators and fans cheered on James' tough goal, and even Carlisle had a smile on his face. Was he happy for LeBron's goal? Apparently not.
James was already struggling with Iguodala for just one round. But the match wasn't just a few rounds, it was a whole half!
If James plays like this every round, he doesn't have to wait until the end of the game to bring himself down! And on the Mavericks' side, Iguodala and Tony. Allen, on the other hand, could take turns playing against James. This, too, Carlisle Jean Tony. The reason for Aaron's early rest.
In the next game, that guy's task can be heavy!
After the Mavericks attacked and played, it was obvious that Yiyang was not so aggressive. Now, he needs to leave more energy and energy on the defensive end.
He didn't accelerate to break into the box and then folded for a layup on the inside of the big man. Yiyang is just using the pass to guide the offense, Nick. Yang Ma is constantly running in search of opportunities.
Under Yiyang's organization, basketball runs very smoothly. Although it is not yet at the level of the Spurs' "team basketball extreme", it is more than enough to break down the Heat's defense.
The basketball was eventually passed to Nick, who had a chance in the bottom right corner. In Young's hand, Chalmers squeezed through the block and made up the defense very quickly. However, even against Chalmers' defense, Nick. Yang didn't hesitate to shoot either!
Don't ever expect that guy to pass the ball, all he can do is pass the basket.
As a result, this three-point shot by Chalmers was crisply hollowed into the net! Chalmers' interference with Nick. Yang said that talking is better than nothing, this guy is like this, when the feeling comes, he can score with a blind shot.
Carlisle's substitution had an immediate effect, as the Mavericks both defended Wade and increased their firepower beyond the three-point shot. With only three points ahead, they are undoubtedly starting to take control of the situation.
Wade looked at James, who just gave his good brother a determined look.
So, Wade took the baseline ball from Bosh again. This time, Wade immediately made a block with Bosh after crossing the halfway line. The purpose of this kind of pick-and-roll is very clear, that is, to force the Mavericks to change their defense, and force the Nicks, who are not good at defense. Yang came to defend himself.
However, when Yiyang was delayed, Nick. Yang did not change his guard, but remained by Chalmers's side.
Wade naturally won't waste this fleeting opportunity, seeing that there was an open space in front of him, Wade immediately picked up speed, intending to go straight to the Mavericks penalty area!
However, Wade had just run out less than two steps before Yiyang re-attached himself to his side! Two more steps later, Yiyang completed the overtake and stopped in front of Wade again!
"Hard overtaking! Didn't give Dwayne any chance to hit the basket! Oh my God, I've never seen a player who can rely on speed to make up for the delay in being covered! ”
Wade was forced to stop, but under the sweltering heat of more than 30 degrees in the stadium, Wade's heart was cold.
With my current speed, I can't even break through through the block!?
Huge frustration surrounds Wade, the once most high-profile No. 3 for the Heat. Now, I don't even have a chance to make a move.
Yiyang's speed is one thing, but if it weren't for Wade's fact that he became too slow, Yiyang wouldn't have been able to catch up.
was stopped by Yiyang again, and Wade, who originally wanted to share the pressure for James, had no choice but to hand the ball to LeBron again and let him handle it himself.
James' singles ability is unquestionable, and he did carry Iguodala to the mid-range position again, and then made a pull-up jump shot. The basketball hit again, and the Heat trailed by just one point.
But now that even Wade has seen Carlisle's strategy, how long can LeBron continue to play like this?
In the next few rounds, Wade still did not score. Yiyang's defense amazed everyone, and Wade's powerlessness also made countless people heartbroken.
When "The Flash" can no longer tear apart with his run, but his knees can no longer allow him to make an exaggerated change of direction. People can't help but find out that this No. 3, he is real, and he is really no longer young.
After the half-quarter, the Mavericks led the Heat by six points with their overall offense. On the Heat side, except for James, most of them only had sporadic resistance.
Bosh still scores occasionally, but not consistently. Substitute Chalmers came on for Ray. Allen hit a three-pointer, but only once.
The main source of scoring for the Heat is still LeBron. James. After half a quarter, and with the effects of the heat, James knew he was almost overdrawn. But he also knows that Iguodala will certainly not have an easy time either!
As a result, after a dead ball, Carlisle waved his big hand, allowing the energetic Tony. Aaron straddled in front of James. At that time, a trace of imperceptible exhaustion flashed on the face of the Heat No. 6.
In the seventh minute of the third quarter, James and Wade played a hand-to-hand combination. After LeBron handed the ball to Wade, he took advantage of the situation and stopped Yiyang to death.
Yiyang had to admit that James's cover quality was much better than Bosh's. was blocked by the strong "little emperor" like this, and he really couldn't catch up with Wade for a while.
At this time, Gobert had just been substituted, and the guy standing at the Mavericks' No. 5 position was De Juan, a mini center who was only about to cross two meters tall. Blair!
Wade's confidence soared instantly! He didn't hesitate to jump to the frame. Since Wade's jump was so sudden, Blair couldn't do anything. All he had to do was raise his arms high, withstand Wade's onslaught, and pray to God!
Although Wade collided with Blair in the air, Wade, who was accustomed to working in the air, still stabilized his center of gravity and threw the ball to the basket.
At that moment, Wade had a sense of relief! He's old, but he's not completely useless! This guy with bigger and bigger cheeks doesn't want to prove it to anyone, but to show himself!
Look at Dwayne, we're okay! We can still share the pressure for LeBron, we can still win the championship, let's ......
The joy in Wade's heart had just been swept away by the black shadow hanging over his head!
Yiyang caught up from behind, waved his long arm, and fanned the basketball that Wade had just thrown out of the bottom line!
Wade was in a trance, a few years ago, he was like this to risk others. And now, it's my turn to be taken by someone else like this......
The audience exclaimed, and after Yiyang landed, he stared at Wade viciously, as if to say. "Stop challenging my authority, Dwayne!"
0-of-5 shooting, and didn't score a point in the first half of the game. Wade's performance in the third quarter was like two in the first half.
Carlisle gave Yiyang the task, and Yiyang completed it perfectly. He is like an unbreakable iron cage, trapping the once omnipotent "Flash" inside.
Wade shook his head, and Yiyang said that he would not show mercy to his old friend, and he was really not joking...... This game has become more and more passive for the Heat.
