Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 54 Head on

"Heat's biggest competitor in the future!"

In the box at the American Airlines Center arena, Pat Riley looked dignified in a suit and leather shoes. Until this moment, he realized that even he himself had underestimated the Nets. In other words, Jiang Mingliang was underestimated.

Stevens, as a rising star in the position of coach in the league, has been recognized in all aspects, including Popovich and Carlisle, who once said after the match that they learned something from the fight with Stevens Things, aside from some hard indicators of honor, Stevens has received enough praise.

But Jiang Mingliang is different. Many people attribute the progress of these young people in the Nets to Stevens' training, but more than once they have achieved good results in the position of general manager and head coach. The lineup was definitely due to Jiang Mingliang.

If players like Danny Green, Jeremy Lin, and Baynes can enter the Heat's rotation, the Heat's chances of winning the championship will increase by 10%, and they all get a basic salary.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Pat Riley doesn't think his operations this past summer don't deserve full marks. In the jealousy of the general manager of the league, the successful formation of three All-Star players who are in their prime years is magical enough. Pat Riley also firmly believes that, at least for now, the Heat will clean up the Nets. Not a problem.

After a short break, players from both sides appeared on the stage, and the fourth quarter officially began.

After thinking twice, Spoelstra still gritted his teeth and let James and Bosh go off the court to rest, and Wade led the team alone on the court.

No matter what the situation is, the physical fitness of the players must be considered, otherwise it will be a slow death.

Although Wade also played a long time in the third quarter, he took on fewer tasks on the court. James was on the court, and he took on too many offensive and defensive ends.

The Nets, on the other hand, continue to adopt wheel-to-wheel tactics. Today, Korver and Anderson, who didn't play much time on the court, re-appeared to fight for a certain amount of rest time for the team's defensive champions.

Against Wade, it is still Danny Green.

In Danny Green's own opinion, his defense against Wade today was a failure. During the time when the two were facing each other, Wade made 5 of 8 shots and scored 12 points, which was quite efficient.

But in the eyes of coach Stevens, this is not a failure. For a player of Wade's level, when he releases his energy into the offense, even a defender of Jordan's and Payton's level cannot suppress his scoring below 20 points. In this tough battle where the scores of the two sides rose alternately, it is also an ability to wipe out Wade's desire to attack.

Wade dodges Green two times in a row, but the Nets' supplementary defense was very timely. Korver and Baynes came out at the same time, pinching left and right, forming a double ghost guard against Wade. Wade did not choose not to transfer the ball, but continued to rush towards the penalty area. The right hand holding the ball suddenly sent it to the back. Korver was worried about Wade's back pass. Scrupulous, the action paused for a moment, what Wade needed was this opportunity, as soon as his right hand was sent and received, such a simple small move deceived Korver, facing Baynes' defense, he kicked his right foot on the floor , soaring into the air. A light lick the basket and hit a ball.

Such a dazzling action caused many fans on the scene to open their mouths unconsciously. Even the DJ on the scene seemed to have forgotten their duties, and the American Airlines Center Arena immediately burst into applause.

A perfect personal show performance seemed to have aroused the enthusiasm of the Heat's substitute players. In the subsequent game, they played steadily and insisted on holding a 1-point lead in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. They survived until the Big Three returned to the court time.

A championship-level team has never been easy to play. Although the Heat have not yet won the O'Brien Cup, no one will deny their strength.

Ilgauskas replaced Joel Anthony at the center position. This veteran center who followed James to the Heat has some accomplishments on the offensive end. At least both offensive and defensive ends can contribute at one end. As for the loopholes on the defensive end, let James make up for it.

At this time, the Nets also replaced the lineup that Stevens believes is the most effective. Bledsoe, Carter, George, Yi Jianlian, Lopez.

George's performance in defending James today is not good. As of now, James has scored 27 points. But no matter what, this time he bravely went up to fight against the number one player in the league.

James, who was trying to change the dribble, couldn't help frowning.

no space?

The defensive aptitude of the rookie in front of him is quite clever, completely blocking his breakthrough route from the left.

Although it is also possible to break through from the right side, James has already seen Yi Jianlian who is waiting for the inside line on the right side in advance. Don't even think about it, as long as he breaks through from the right, he will definitely be double-teamed by two people. Of course, James can choose to give the ball to Bosh, but in fact, Bosh's performance in today's game is not good, or the Big Three team up to now, Bosh's role is more reflected in the tactical role. The above performance is not very convincing.

After a little hesitation, James still chose to come by himself.

After breaking through from the right side with the ball, as expected, George and Yi Jianlian immediately formed a pincer attack.

And James did not evade when facing the two of them, he took off directly in two steps, facing the basket and throwing shots.

George and Yi Jianlian tried their best to block. Although they didn't touch the ball, they interfered with James' shooting touch, and the basketball bounced off the rim.

George and James leaped high at the same time. This time, George took the ball into his arms first, shaking the ball left and right with both hands, firmly protecting the basketball.

Although it was only a rebound victory, it was the first time George beat James head-on.

It's the Nets' turn to attack, and the veteran Carter will lead the offense. Center Lopez mentioned receiving the ball at the top of the penalty area. Carter stepped forward and handed Lopez Zola a hand, and then ran out of the shooting space with a beautiful back run. Facing Bosh's supplementary defense, Carter hit a Time difference, inserted into the basket and scored.

84:83, the Nets lead by one point!

The Heat were attacking, and this time it was Wade's turn to control the ball and direct the offense. Facing Carter's defense, Wade was relatively sure of going inside, but the Nets' two big men in the penalty area were always a problem.

Of course, as the guard with the strongest breakthrough ability in the league, it would be impossible for him to be intimidated by insiders with the same defensive level as Lopez and Yi Jianlian. Wade at his peak relied on throwing himself into the sky. Big wave powder.

In this round of offense, Wade's breakthrough was as fast as lightning as always, and it was effortless to cause Lopez's shooting foul. However, Wade made two free throws and the two sides fought to an 84 tie.

When your only offensive option is breakthrough, then your offense will be quite difficult. Wade is just not very good at three-point shooting. In fact, he has a good shot, and the closer the shooting distance, the higher his shooting percentage. But today, it happened to catch up with him who didn't feel very good at mid-range. games. In a normal game, Stevens' strategy is to prevent penetration and not prevent shots. Green and Carter gave Wade a high-frequency confrontation. Wade is tired of playing!
