Chapter 149 The Role of a Veteran

Back from the timeout, Wade, who performed poorly in the Big Three, began to take over the game. After receiving the ball from the baseline, Wade quickly broke through the half court. His quick and unsloppy movements seemed to tell Fernandez on the opposite side that he was going to play for real.

In the peak battle of the BJ Olympics, Fernandez faced Kobe and Wade and scored 22 points. His explosive performance surprised the world. Facing Wade, he didn't show timidity at all, and got stuck on the opponent's route.

".Crack". ".Crack". Twice in a hurry, Wade didn't stop at all, and the one who was going actually made a fake move. In a short distance of two steps, there were three different fake moves. Fernandez didn't dare to be careless about the action. As the two bodies came into contact, Wade's offense would appear in an instant. Fernandez had already prepared for Wade's speed, but fortunately, he was already close to the basket. In the area, even if he has a great advantage in speed, it will be greatly reduced, and his advantage in height and wingspan makes him very confident in his own defense.

Wade made another breakthrough with heavy shoulders. At the moment when the two bodies were about to collide, the right hand holding the ball suddenly stretched out behind his back. With a slight shake of his wrist, the ball quickly flew into the hands of Battier, who was outside the three-point line on the right wing. , Anderson gave up half a step of space for Battier to make a decisive shot, and the ball fell steadily into the basket.

On the offensive end, Battier served as a turret on the outside, and on the defensive end, LeBron James was responsible for greeting West at the power forward position. , George missed the shot forcibly under Battier's entanglement, and the rebound was picked up by Wade, who was retracted into the penalty area. A long pass for the quarterback's career was thrown to the frontcourt. James forcibly grabbed the basketball from George with his excellent physical fitness, and then dunked with both hands, further narrowing the point difference for the Heat.

The Heat's counterattack was quite ferocious. Unlike the Thunder's unsolvable offense and oppression, which made the opponent's resistance unsatisfactory, the Heat's strategy insisted on starting from defense. One advantage of this is that they are not as dependent on talent as the Thunder. Although At least in terms of talent development, the Heat's Big Three are actually not at all inferior to the Thunder's three.

Under the continuous pressure from the Heat, the Nets' offense also had problems. After Jeremy Lin broke through Norris Cole, it was a little surprising that he missed a layup with a low hand that was not difficult. Back on the defensive end, Jeremy Lin was broken by Cole, who was not so strong in breakthrough ability, and assisted James to score. After the first quarter of the game, the Nets almost collapsed.

Back in the second quarter, Stevens adjusted the lineup of the Nets. Livingston replaced Jeremy Lin as the point guard on the field. Stevens planned to use Livingston's height and post-up singles ability to suppress The Heat's backup point guard Kerr is under 1.85 meters tall, and his strategy worked quickly. Although Livingston, who has not played for a long time, still feels a little rusty in the game, he has been training with the team for half a month. Technically, everything that should be recovered has been recovered. Facing Cole, who is not very tall, experienced, and technically capable, Livingston missed a shot in his first attack, but quickly recovered his touch in the attempt, holding the ball at the top of the penalty area, Mid-range hit.

Successive serious injuries have had a great impact on Livingston. He must further transform to adapt to this league. During rehabilitation training, Livingston focused on improving the stability of his mid-range jumper. Unexpectedly, the first game of his comeback , will come in handy.

It was the Nets' turn to attack again. Livingston received a point from the bottom line on the right side. Facing Cole's top defense, he arched his back twice, squeezed out some space, and then changed his pivot foot, turning over Jump shot, hit again. Another lesson for the Heat's young point guard.

This opening of Livingston also drove the offense of the Nets' rotation. After all, the veteran's organizational ability is also worth mentioning. He is very good at personal offense and passing to drive his teammates.

4 minutes into the second quarter, Livingston was replaced. In 4 minutes of playing time, he contributed 4 points and 2 assists, leading his teammates to tie the score again.

Seeing the outstanding performance of this veteran, Jiang Mingliang also felt very comforted. Even if Livingston's comeback not only strengthened the thickness of the team's back line, he could also provide an option on the wing position. After all, the height of 205 makes him He can swing his position and help the team!

The starting lineup returned, and the Heat regained the initiative on the field. It was still James. Facing the Nets, he showed the highest enthusiasm on both ends of the offense and defense, and did not give up an inch!

Last season, the Heat were indeed defeated by the Mavericks. Specifically, they were defeated by the zone defense tactics designed by Carlisle, or in other words, it was an improved version of the zone defense tactics that Carlisle gave the Nets when they defeated the Heat in the regular season!

A group of veterans with more defensive experience, together with Optimus Prime Chandler, constructed the Mavericks' rock-solid defense with distinct layers, and Nowitzki's unsolvable mid-range like a god descended from the sky shattered James' championship dream. But the first to use zone defense to suppress the Heat must be Stevens.

In James' mind, the Nets may be his second most concerned opponent in the Eastern Conference, even more threatening than the Bulls, the No. But the Nets are different, you don't know what kind of tactics Stevens will come up with.

Although the Heat Zhan is not as fast as the Cavaliers Zhan, and he is not as comfortable as the old man in the future, but at this stage, he is at the stage with the most balanced body, experience, and indicators in all aspects, and it is also the time when he desires the championship the most. . The Nets were a little bit powerless in the face of one weapon after another from his arsenal.

"Unfortunately, Leonard is not here." Jiang Mingliang regretted.

Of course, neither Jiang Mingliang nor Stevens thought that the current Leonard can restrict James, which is simply unrealistic. They are just a pity that James, who is full of fighting spirit, should be able to become Leonard's sharpening stone, allowing him to have a whole-hearted understanding of defense and the league's top powerful small forwards. This is of great benefit to his future!

At halftime, the Heat led by 8 points 56:48.

Not only James himself, but the entire Heat team has devoted a lot of attention to this game. Compared with the Bulls, the Heat's pressure on the Nets is indeed stronger, and they have more confidence to hit the championship.

For the young Nets, they need the tempering brought by this game.
