Chapter 509: Tentative First Section

Reggie Miller's evaluation of Li Kaiming made the entire commentary table lively, and the three commentators discussed the topic with relish for several minutes, and finally stopped until the game began.

The players from both sides came into position, the referee took the ball and stood in the center circle, and Bosh and Brach posed and prepared to take off.

With a whistle, the referee threw the ball vertically into the sky, Bosh, as a lottery pick in the draft year, his physical talent is naturally not comparable to that of a second-round show like Brach, and the powerful power exploded, allowing Bosh to help the Heat get the ball for the first offense.

The jump ball was unsuccessful, and the Wizards players were not surprised, and retreated to their own backcourt in an orderly manner, standing in position and waiting for the Heat to attack.

Chalmers held the ball across the half court, and when he arrived in the front court, he did not pass the ball directly to James, but called a block, Bosh went out to cover, and Li Kaiming also followed.

Chalmers accelerated to shake off the stuck Hinrich and then went straight inside the three-point line.

Li Kaiming kept his distance unhurriedly, so that he could not lose his position, and he could not be fouled by Chalmers.

Generally speaking, there are very few teams that use pick-and-rolls to break him down when they play the Wizards, and Spoelstra is a very tactically minded coach who shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so Li Kaiming had to guard against Chalmers from coming to foul him.

At this time, Chalmers looked at Li Kaiming, who was an arm's length away from him, and was surprised and a little anxious at the same time, and he deliberately slowed down a little, but Li Kaiming still didn't stick it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go straight to the basket, and then wait for Hinrich to catch up with him!

Li Kaiming is not out of position, there is still a Blatch under the basket, let alone Chalmers, and the peak Wade has to be beaten when he comes over!

Chalmers' layup was not capped, but it was still far from the goal, and Bracch easily protected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.

The Wizards are not in a hurry to come up with a triangle offense directly, after all, this round of the series is still early, where can anyone directly open up as soon as they come up? That opponent will definitely doubt your IQ and ask loudly if you will play?

Blatch went up to cover Hinrich, Haslem chose to crouch on the inside, and Chalmers was blocked behind Hinrich.

So Xinrich began to play the trick of rubbing and not getting in, of course, this kind of rubbing is the same as the rubbing in the mouths of some scumbags, rubbing and sliding in.

Hinrich blocked Chalmers with his body and slowly moved to the free-throw line.

At this time, Haslem didn't dare to squat on the inside, after all, Hinrich was a very superb shooter, but after the cover, Blatch stood up and went directly to the basket against Hasslem, creating a huge shooting space for Hinrich.

Hinrich threw a shot directly and scored easily!

2 to 0! The Wizards go first!

The Heat attacked, and Chalmers handed the ball to James after he arrived in the frontcourt, after all, since last season, James has been the ball-handling core and tactical core of the Heat.

Leonard spread out his two long ape-like arms, stepped on the three-point line steadily, squatted slightly, and looked determined.

James saw that the facial paralysis in front of him was the first two big, it was difficult enough to deal with last season, and he also competed four times in the regular season this season, which was even more difficult than last season!

Of course, James's ball quotient is still very high, and in this case, he decisively chose to call the inside Haslem to come over to cover.

Haslem is a typical short centre-forward, and he has the advantage of being quick to move and perform some defensive changes compared to those big centre-forwards.

But there are advantages and disadvantages, small size under the basket is naturally less defensive impact than big one, and it is more difficult to hang the opponent when covering.

After two seasons of high-intensity running-in, Leonard's defensive skills are now among the best in the league, and squeezing cover is naturally not a problem.

Haslem didn't completely block Leonard, but James only had to give him a little space and he could take advantage of it and get up to speed.

Breaking through to the penalty area with the ball, James looked up and found that there was a tower-like Bradge standing under the basket, followed by a facial paralysis robot, but he had already rushed here, and he couldn't go up.

So James gritted his teeth and went straight to the ball with three steps to the basket, Leonard next to him was pushed away by his elbow, and Blatch jumped on the spot to protect the basket.

James jumped up and collided with Blatche, the ball hadn't been shot, and the referee on the baseline had already blown the whistle!

Honk!

The referee signals for Brach to block a foul!

Blatch was naturally extremely aggrieved in his heart, and he spread his hands at the referee.

"What? Block? I stood straighter than my second brother who had eaten sildenafil! You say I'm blocking? ”

Seeing that Brache was about to explode, Li Kaiming immediately went up and grabbed him.

James walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws to tie it 2-2.

The Wizards attacked, and after arriving in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming and Bradge took the initiative to cover Hinrich, and the two two long men of more than two meters were clamped on both sides, and Chalmers instantly felt that it was dark.

Hinrich easily broke through to the three-point line.

The Heat's two interior lines also followed, because Li Kaiming's threat on the outside was too great, so when Li Kaiming blocked and dismantled the outside bullet, Haslem and Bosh both pounced on the outside.

At this time, Blatch turned and went down, and by the time Haslem reacted to protect the basket, Hinrich had already thrown the ball high into the basket.

Blatch took off with a big stride, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and then slammed the ball down with his waist and abdomen!

Bang!

The hoop makes a dull crashing sound!

Bracy's empty dunk is powerful, and it seems that he wants to vent his anger at being blown for an inexplicable foul just now!

4-2, Consor in the commentary box raised his arms, "Beautifully coordinated, Brach completed a very violent finish, it looked like he was going to pull the basket down!" ”

Reggie Miller and Barkley next to him said at the same time that the key to the success of this attack is Li Kaiming's dismantling!

Unconsciously, tNt's two gold medal commentators have all become Li Kaiming......

The Heat served the ball to the front court, and the ball was passed to Wade on the outside, and Wade's performance this season has dropped a lot compared to previous seasons because of a knee injury, but even so, his breakthrough is still exceptionally sharp.

Bosh's cover was not even fully in place, Wade directly pushed the ball to change direction, passed the ball through the gap with a low hand, and suddenly closed the ball with a feint after reaching the three-point line, shook off Thompson who was catching up, and then turned back to the middle distance!

Bang! Basketball hollow into the net!

Although Wade's three-point shooting accuracy is not high, his mid-range grasp is still very high, not as good as some players who rely on mid-range to eat, but he is also considered to be the middle and upper mid-range in the league.

The two sides were again tied 4-4, and the game showed a back-and-forth from the start, similar to what most media had predicted before the series began.

The Wizards passed the ball to Li Kaiming with his back on the inside, the Heat's help defense came very quickly, Haslem came from the baseline, James came from the line, look at this posture, Spoelstra is ready to wrap Li Kaiming into a dumpling!

Fortunately, Li Kaiming's passing vision is very prominent, although this kind of bag looks airtight, but as long as it moves, you can find loopholes.

He dribbled and turned to wipe past Bosh's side, and sure enough, at this time, there was a passing gap on Haslem's side, Li Kaiming did not hesitate to hit the ground and pass over, but he didn't expect to be kicked away by Bosh next to him!

The referee signaled a violation, but the kicking violation did not allow the offensive team to go directly to the free throw line, nor could it accumulate fouls for the defender, and even consumed the Wizards' offensive time, so this option was very cost-effective for the Heat.

Hinrich sent the sideline ball to Li Kaiming on the outside, and the Heat team saw that Li Kaiming was going to hold the ball outside the three-point line and play alone, and immediately the whole formation leaned towards Bosh, which is enough to see the importance that the Heat team attaches to Li Kaiming.

In this case, of course Li Kaiming will not call cover stupidly, isn't that equivalent to calling the other side to cover himself?

So he dribbled with both hands to find a rhythm, and at the same time gradually approached the three-point line, and when he was one step away from the three-point line, he suddenly hesitated with a levitating ball and made a pre-action of holding the ball to change direction and break through.

Bosh thought that Li Kaiming was going to make a big change, and subconsciously took a big step back, which opened up a huge space for Li Kaiming to shoot, he directly pulled up a three-point shot, and when there were still 5 seconds of offensive time on the timer, his three-point line crossed the arc and flew to the basket!

7 to 4!

"Lee hit the first shot, and it was a difficult three-pointer that was about to run out of offensive time, it seems that he was in good shape today, and Coach Spo is going to have a headache......" Reggie Miller smiled at the two colleagues next to him.

Indeed, as he said, after Li Kaiming hit a three-pointer, the furrow between Spoelstra's eyebrows next to the court deepened......

What made him dissatisfied was that in addition to Li Kaiming's hot hand, more importantly, the Heat team seemed to be unable to prevent the Wizards' offense, and they didn't stop it in the first three rounds!

In the past two seasons, although the Wizards have begun to take the path of balanced offense and defense, they are still an offense-driven team in the final analysis, and if they can't prevent the Wizards' offense, or even reduce their shooting percentage, then this game will be dangerous......

Both sides were in a tentative rhythm in the first quarter, and did not show their housekeeping skills, and the defense did not improve to a high intensity.

So in the first quarter, the Wizards players played very comfortably, and the outside felt good, and at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led the Heat by 3 points 31-28!

At the beginning of the second quarter, after the tentative session, the two sides increased their defensive intensity almost simultaneously, and the game became fierce in an instant......
