Before James came to the Heat, Wade helped the team reverse the Mavericks and won a championship with his own efforts.

At that time, whether in the United States or China, Wade won a lot of popularity.

He is also expected by the team and fans to lead the Heat to build a dynasty like Jordan and Kobe.

But since '06, Wade has been affected by a knee injury and has never played a season.

After the big shark O'Neal left, the Heat did not have the strength to win the championship at all and became a first-round team.

After the Heat recruited James in the summer of 2010, Wade quickly slipped from the team's boss to the second leader, and his popularity also declined.

In the 14-15 season, James returned to the Cavaliers, and Wade's position became awkward.

Wade feels that he has contributed a lot to the Heat, and his strength is still there, and he still wants to continue to be the core of the team and the boss of the team.

But in the past two or three years, James has completely determined his tactical core and prestige in the Heat, and the Heat have long since disrecognized Wade's status as the boss of the team.

And Wade is getting older, his state has declined, and he is no longer the Flash who can charge forward and lead the team to victory.

What's more, Whiteside is growing fast, and the Heat obviously prefer to build a team with a young Whiteside as the core.

Although Whiteside hasn't really grown this season, the team still needs Wade's old future support.

But for the sake of the future and for the sake of their own interests, it is impossible for the Heat to continue to use Wade as the core of the team, let alone give Wade a big contract!

In this way, Wade and the Heat had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the team's tactical problems and, most importantly, the issue of contract extensions.

The Heat coach saw that Wade was beaten by Zhang Zifeng, but he didn't dare to continue to let him waste opportunities.

After all, the Heat are now fourth in the East, and they will face fifth in the playoffs, an opponent of equal strength, which will make it very difficult to advance to the second round, and even being defeated by the opponent is possible.

That's what the Heat coach doesn't want to see.

He also wants to finish in the top three so that he can face his opponents in sixth and seventh place.

Wade didn't play at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Heat's lineup became Dragic, Green, Deng, Stoudemire and Whiteside.

Under the leadership of Dragic and Whiteside, the situation on the court changed suddenly in the second quarter, the 76ers' shooting percentage dropped, Dragic scored twice, Green and Deng each had three points, and Whiteside grabbed offensive rebounds in a row, they led the team to play a 13-0 small "gaochao", 43-46, chasing the score to only 3 points.

At this time, Zhang Zifeng stepped up and scored 5 points alone, Smith hit a three-point shot, and the 76ers quickly rebuilt a double-digit lead.

In the third quarter, the Heat tried to fight back many times, but the 76ers' offense blossomed more, Zhang Zifeng, Smith, and Grant took turns to score, and the 76ers were 69-63, leading by 6 points and entering the fourth quarter.

The Heat had a chance to chase down the score in the fourth quarter, when Dragic made two free throws for a foul, and then Whiteside grabbed the rebound and dunked.

Brett. Brown immediately asked for a timeout, and after the timeout, Zhang Zifeng used the cover to shake off Wade and directly hit a three-pointer, and the Heat's momentum of chasing points came to an abrupt end.

With 1:35 left in the game, the Heat were 83-90, seven points behind the 76ers, and called a timeout.

During the pause, Barkley saw that the data table showed that Zhang Zifeng had scored 41 points and 9 assists, but Wade only got 13 points and 3 rebounds, and sneered, "It seems that Wade should regret isolating Zhang Zifeng in the All-Star Game, but Wade lost face in front of Zhang Zifeng today!" ”

Smith helped Wade defend a few words and said, "Charles, Wade just feels a little bad today, everyone will encounter a cold hand, Zhang Zifeng didn't encounter such a situation before." And as it stands, Wade is a three-time champion and the 2006 Finals MVP. Zhang Zifeng is far from being able to compare with him, so I don't think it's appropriate to say that Wade has lost face! ”

Barkley said disdainfully, "Wade thought he was the best shooting guard in the East, but unfortunately it's not his time anymore......"

On the 76ers' bench, Brett . Brown looked at Zhang Zifeng, who had been on the court for 39 minutes, and asked, "Jack, how are you feeling now?" ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded towards the coach and said, "Mr. Brett, no problem, I still feel very energetic!" ”

Facing Wade, Zhang Zifeng felt very excited from the beginning today.

Now seeing Wade as the best supporting actor, Zhang Zifeng is even more excited, but there are only nearly 2 minutes left, and he feels that he can hold on.

"Okay, Jack, you're in good shape today, I need you to continue to play Wade and score more,?"

"No problem, don't worry about leaving it to me!" Zhang Zifeng said confidently.

As the referee's whistle blew, the game resumed.

The Heat put all the starting lineups up and are ready to make a final effort.

Dragic dribbled quickly forward, and Zhang Zifeng stared at Wade.

So far in the game, Wade has calmed down a lot.

Under Zhang Zifeng's entanglement and interference, Wade still received the pass smoothly.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly took half a step back to guard against Wade's breakthrough. While staring at the ball in Wade's hand, he did not forget to sarcastically. "Your performance today is totally sorry for your 16 million annual salary, oh, what do you say the media will say about you. With high salary and low ability, it should be said that the Heat has done a big wrong! ”

Wade dribbled the ball with a blank face, suddenly accelerated, and took advantage of Whiteside's cover to make it into the box.

As soon as Wade rushed into the penalty area, Noll and Smith were ready to wrap up front and back, and Zhang Zifeng also bypassed and was ready to steal at any time.

Just as Wade was about to fall into the encirclement, he suddenly jumped up and passed a cross ball to Whiteside, who was following him.

As soon as Whiteside received the ball, he cut inside.

'Brilliant passing, calm down, Wade is still that very dangerous player. Smith Chen praised.

With just over five points and more than a minute to go, the 76ers need to score to secure the win.

Zhang Zifeng took the ball and launched a counterattack.

Facing Wade, after Zhang Zifeng dribbled under his crotch continuously, he suddenly started and changed direction again, stuck Wade into the penalty area.

Whiteside hurried up to block it.

Zhang Zifeng saw that before Whiteside pounced, he stopped suddenly, took his right foot as the axis, and turned around to squeeze Wade behind him.

Pretending to jump up and lure Wade forward. Zhang Zifeng quickly collected the ball, crossed the main position with his left foot, jumped up and leaned towards Wade, and then hit the board and scored the ball.

Hearing the whistle, Wade looked at Zhang Zifeng angrily, this bastard not only scored a goal but also cheated a foul.

This damn scammer!

Zhang Zifeng looked at Wade with an angry face, and said with a smile: "Thank you for sending points!" ”

Zhang Zifeng's smile was a great irony in Wade's eyes.

Standing at the free throw line, Zhang Zifeng took a deep breath, then stabilized his breathing before throwing the ball.

Ball in, 85-93.

"Zhang Zifeng played very smart. With only one minute left and eight points behind, all I can say is that the victory is far from the Heat! Barkley said.

"Charles, you're talking too fast. Don't forget, someone once scored 8 points in 8 seconds and staged a shocking reversal! "Kenny. Smith said.

Hear Kenny. Smith brings up his glorious past, Reggie. Miller said proudly. "Haha, maybe someone can do a better job than me back then!"

Barkley shook his head and said, "Don't you have a shooter like Miller on the Heat right now, Wade?" Don't forget that he's only 19.5 percent from three-point range this season, and I don't think that percentage will give him a chance to repeat the Miller moment! ”

Barkley's words were like a bottle of cold water that extinguished Smith's hopes of watching a good show.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng score the ball, the Heat coach hurriedly asked the referee for a timeout. Standing in front of his players, he shouted anxiously, "We still have a chance, as long as we can score this goal, we still have a chance to win." ”

Back on the court, Zhang Zifeng immediately entangled Wade.

Dragic dribbled the ball to the front court and saw that the 76ers were defending aggressively and no one else had the right chances. In the end, it was decided to pass the ball to Wade and let him handle it.

Wade received the ball, which he knew was critical, but he decided to do it himself.

In his eyes, he is the boss of the team. As the boss of the team, it is only natural to step up at the most critical moments.

Facing Zhang Zifeng's defense, Wade continued to shake his body, and when he saw that Zhang Zifeng was unmoved, Wade suddenly changed direction in advance, and then sprinted.

When Zhang Zifeng followed sideways, Wade suddenly changed hands and dribbled behind his back one by one.

In this sudden stop and change of direction, the entire upper of the shoe is twisted, making people afraid that the next moment, it will be torn.

Zhang Zifeng worked hard, but he still couldn't stop Wade's breakthrough.

After shaking off Zhang Zifeng, Wade cut into the inside line like lightning and made a layup.

After landing on the ground, Wade roared demonstratively at Zhang Zifeng, and then shouted loudly to his teammates, "We still have a chance, quickly return to defense, return to defense!" ”

When Zhang Zifeng heard it, he looked at Wade's figure coldly.

Is there still a chance? Then I'm going to make you desperate!
