Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Flash
James' pass was successfully limited, and the Heat's offense was hindered. The Bulls also took this opportunity to continue to expand the score, and by the 8-minute mark of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides reached 17 points, which was also the biggest loss of the game for the Heat.
Spoelstra seems to have run out of options, and he feels like the team is going to collapse. On the contrary, the Bulls are getting braver and braver, and many goals that they can't usually score can be thrown. Especially Nate, who came off the bench, took advantage of the opportunity of the downwind ball, and his many unreasonable shots made the whole Heat lose their temper.
Sun continues to set his scoring record, which has reached 24 points, along with five assists and six rebounds.
While everyone continues to pay attention to when James will be able to lead the team to fight back, everyone seems to have forgotten about one person, because that person has not performed for too long, and he is none other than Wade.
Since he has been injured, the Flash's state has been greatly affected. In this game, he basically didn't have many opportunities to shoot, most of the time he gave up the opportunity to attack, and he didn't complain in the slightest.
Wade has only made seven shots so far, made three of them, and scored eight points. In everyone's opinion, how could this be the answer sheet handed in by the omnipotent Flash in the past?
That's right, since James came to the Heat, Wade said for the first time that James is the leader of the team. This also means that Wade gave up the status he has earned for many years to James, although this kind of mind is worthy of praise, but does it really mean that the Flash is not good?
Leg injury, back injury, shoulder injury...... The Flash was almost injured all over his body, and the fatal breakthrough of his youth caused everything he is now.
But if you underestimate him because of this, then you just wait to be blown up! Although Wade is physically old, his mental state is still there. If he wants to score, assist, and block, it's all about getting his hands dirty.
Just when everyone thought that the Bulls would win the game in one fell swoop in the fourth quarter, Wade spoke!
--------------------
When the game entered the fourth quarter, the Bulls changed all the bench lineups in order to rest the main team, and even Marcus, who had not had any chance to play before. Teague also had a chance to perform.
On the Heat side, only Wade was left on the court. In fact, this is also Spoelstra's last resort, he wants to stimulate Wade, he knows that once Wade comes to the state, the power will be even stronger than James.
The Bulls have taken a lot of leads, and many of the players are more and more relaxed as they play, and they are also very energetic, and sometimes they will even provoke as much as they can.
However, Wade's eyes had already begun to change at this time.
…………
"Wade took the initiative to ask for the ball, he suddenly changed direction, and Belineri was cleaned."
"Wade burst inside, faced Gibson's defense, came with a super big lever, and the ball went into the net!"
"Wade took the ball diagonally, and it was the misplaced Muhammad who defended him, and Wade made a feint and directly deceived him......"
"Wade has used his trick --- 45-degree board!"
"Wade shoots out from the three-point line! 3+1!!!!!!!!! ”
…………
The court immediately changed at this moment, and the Heat team turned the Bulls around with Wade alone, and the 17-point difference became 8 points in a blink of an eye, and Wade scored 10 points alone.
Thibodeau was dumbfounded, without any warning at all, only that Wade was still tepid. But when Thibodeau looked up at the scorer again, he realized what Wade had done all these times.
At this time, looking at the bench of the Heat, everyone stood up excitedly. When the game was suspended, everyone high-fived Wade as if they were a king.
"Good job, brother! It's just amazing! "James seems to be a little excited!
"I'm not old, you know, I'm still the Flash!" Wade replied.
------------------------
In fact, for Wade, Chicago is a city he loves and hates. He was born in Illinois, and Chicago is the capital of Illinois, so he knew Chicago all too well, and since he grew up watching Jordan play, he dreamed of playing here one day.
Fate did not grant his wish. But that doesn't stop him from loving Chicago!
There is love and hate, the season after Wade won the championship, the Heat team experienced a change of players, and the old people who won the championship chose to retire one by one, leaving Wade alone.
However, with the power of the championship and Wade's bravery, the Heat still made the playoffs that year. Moreover, their first round opponent in the playoffs is their hometown team--- Chicago Bulls.
However, the disparity of 0-4 made him lose face, you must know that he was the MVP of the Finals last year, but he left early this year, he didn't know if they made history, the only thing he knew was that the Bulls had become his mortal enemies, as can be seen from the data of his career against the Bulls.
Wade has been in the league since 2003 and has 22.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds against the Bulls. However, since he won the championship in 2006, his stats against the Bulls have become 25.3 points, 6.4 assists and 4.8 rebounds. Although this is only a superficial change, who can deny that there is no psychological change in it?
-------------
Wade's sudden frenzy made Thibodeau a little anxious, and he was forced to replace the main force in advance. And Spoelstra also replaced the team's main force in advance, and the only main player who did not change was Chalmers, because Spoelstra wanted Wade to control the ball.
So, Spoelstra's lineup is Wade, Ray Allen, James, Battier and Bosh.
The Bulls remained unchanged in the third quarter: Sun Xiaotian, Jimmy Butler, Lul Deng, Boozer and Noah.
During this period, Wade became the core of the Heat's offense, and his breakthrough increased the pressure on the Bulls' defense.
And Sun Xiaotian, who defended him, can be regarded as having learned the benefits of the Flash, he once directly passed Sun Xiaotian, and the tomahawk splitting near the middle line can be described as astonishing, which made Sun Xiaotian dumbfounded.
The two sides are like this, you go back and forth, and they have developed bayonet-like tenacity at both offensive and defensive ends. And the difference between the two sides has been maintained at about 6 or 7 points, it seems that both teams are holding on to the last strength, and if they are not careful, the situation on the field may be reversed.
