The Way of the Center

Chapter 575: Miami Lightning

"The Trail Blazers' interior defense is very strong, but we can't back down. The Spurs finally lost to the Trail Blazers because they relied too much on outside shots. Basketball, it is impossible to win the game by shooting alone! LeBron , Dwyane, continue to break through and create damage. Put pressure on their inside defense and make them more passive!" Spoelstra spoke his English with a strong Filipino accent, facing himself The players under him set up.

Wade and James are happy that Spoelstra is with them. The Heat are a team that has reached the Finals for the third consecutive year. They know how to play in the Finals.

Shooting may be a factor in winning games, but it's by no means everything! Rickard wants to lock the Heat's offense out of the three-second zone? There are no doors!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ricard still let most of the main players rest off the court. But in the finals, if you still maintain a normal rotation, it would be a big mistake!

"Dwyane, LeBron, Chris, the Big Three of the Heat are all here! Now, the Trail Blazers must withstand tremendous pressure!" Bill Walton did not expect Spoelstra to be so bold, even though The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is also very strong, but compared with the Heat's Big Three, it is still not at the same level.

"Look well, rookie!" Spoelstra glanced at Rickard, who frowned tightly, making the Filipino very satisfied.

The battle began again, but this time, the Big Three of the Heat finally felt proud.

Damian Lillard may have been very eye-catching when he was next to Angie, but when he led the team to resist the Big Three alone, Lillard seemed a lot more immature.

First, on the defensive end, Norris Cole, the Heat's backup point guard with better impact, caused Lillard a lot of trouble.

Although Cole is not proficient in anything, he knows a little bit about everything. This kind of player is useless if he can't swing well, but once he swings out, it will be very scary.

Compared with Chalmers, Cole's organization allows the Big Three to play more off the ball on the offensive end,

This also means that the offense of the three of them is much easier than before.

While the offense is favorable, the Heat's defense has also shown great improvement.

Lillard planned to play an alley-oop with Hickson twice, but because of the Heat's defense, neither of them formed a tacit understanding, and gave the Heat twice the ball in vain.

After that, Batum also lost all his sights under James' close defense. Seeing that the score was getting closer and closer until it was only two points away. Ricard cursed and stood up, and told An Jie to come to his side.

"You've also seen, whether it's offense or defense, when the team lacks an inside pillar, the Blazers are completely messed up. I want you to go on the court and do your best to stabilize the situation. The Big Three can't play like this. For the whole game, you can't let them get up and force them to give up!" Just as Ricard finished speaking, the referee's sharp whistle sounded.

Personal foul, from Lillard. The best rookie who played too smoothly recently lost his composure today, so Ricard decided to let Lillard off the field to adjust, and then he threw everything except Aldridge and Lillard on the field.

Rickard had to hold back in case Spoelstra came up with something bad. Aldridge and Lillard are Ricard's emergency measures.

But in this case, Anjie and Iguodala must find a way to contain the Big Three of the Heat.

"Here we go, Dwyane." Seeing Anjie play, James couldn't help but patted his good brother on the shoulder. After warming up for so long, the main character finally appeared!

Wade nodded silently, then ran to the designated position and stood up. The Big Three are not as simple as you think!

The Heat took the ball from the sideline, and Norris Cole was still in control of the ball.

Iguodala and Anjie immediately discovered that James and Bosh, who did not need to attack with the ball, became more flexible in running.

Cole faced Fischer, the oldest player on the court, but failed to break through. Instead, he played tactics one by one, waiting for Wade to be in place.

Wade won a gap for himself with continuous running fakes. What the Trail Blazers lack most in this series is experience. Even Anjie is a rookie in the finals. Matthews, who entered the league a year later than Anjie, can't stand the devastation of "The Flash"'s fake moves.

After getting out of the three-point line, Wade immediately ran towards Cole, who was holding the ball.

"Keep up, keep up, they have to hand in hand and then catch the pick-and-roll!" An Jie had to shout distractedly, now he didn't just have to defend Bosh alone, An Jie also had to take on the important task of commanding the defense of the whole team.

Sure enough, Wade ran behind Cole and completed a hand-off pass with him. The moment the basketball was taken away by Wade, Cole moved sideways and blocked Matthews.

Matthews, who has a long mind, is not slow to react. After all, this guy's defensive ability has always been very good. He deftly avoided Cole's pick-and-roll and continued to chase Wade!

However, the moment Matthews bypassed Cole, he found Haslem suddenly appeared in front of him! This time, Matthews had no time to dodge. He was firmly blocked by Haslem, and Wade took advantage of it!

A tandem double pick-and-roll! The tactics arranged by Spoelstra are very ingenious, and Matthews is really too tender!

With this pick and roll, Wade reached the three-second zone as he wished. An Jie immediately left Bosh and rushed into the penalty area, but even if the explosive power of "The Flash" is far less than before, it is not easy for a center like An Jie to catch up.

Anjie was only one or two seconds away from catching up with Wade to complete the block. However, on the basketball court, the gap of one or two seconds is deadly enough!

"Beautiful layup, the Heat played a wonderful set of coordination! Spoelstra made the Heat's offense full. This is not a team of LeBron James alone, but the Big Three of the Heat team!"

Continue to break through! Wade resolutely implemented Spoelstra's tactics. An Jie is also human, as long as he is human, he can be defeated!

In the second round, Cole still held the ball. But this time, he did not cooperate with Wade, but handed over the ball as soon as halftime passed.

But the person with the ball is no longer LeBron, but the symbol of Miami, Dwyane Wade!

Wade took a tentative step with the ball, and Matthews, who was overly nervous, shook his center of gravity!

The "Flash" with a keen sense of smell did not give up this opportunity, and he quickly passed by Matthews. Matthews wanted to stop Wade with a foul, but he only caught a gust of wind after reaching out!

Anjie immediately observed the situation on the court. Wade broke through and James was planning to cut inside from the baseline. And Bosh, is still set in the long-distance position to contain.

Bosh can be defended by others, anyway, this guy's mid-range and long-range shots are not stable. As for Wade, this guy must not dare to layup directly when facing Anjie's defense. Alley-oop, Wade and James intend to connect!

Thinking of this, An Jie moved immediately. But he didn't jump directly at Wade, but just defended with a little deterrence. In fact, Anjie was going to force the alley-oop between Wade and James to make a mistake!

"Hmph, a rookie is a rookie." Wade laughed jokingly, and suddenly jumped up and threw the ball.

Anjie immediately blocked his position to prevent James behind him from gaining space for a lob take-off. If successful, the ball thrown by Wade should fly directly out of the baseline!

"No, it's not an alley-oop!" An Jie was shocked, but it was too late. The basketball fell into the net against the backboard, and Wade made a successful throw.

Wade and James high-five, although on the surface this is Wade's personal offensive score. But in fact, if James hadn't been involved, Wade would not have been ignored by Anjie.

"That kid is a little messed up." Seeing that An Jie was a little overwhelmed, Divac couldn't help reminding Ricard. Their mVp is still a bit younger.

"Look again, look again..." Rickard did not rush to call a second timeout, anyway, now the Heat also have nothing to do with Anjie's raging inside. He wants to see who can last till the end!

In the third round, Wade successfully broke through again. Wesley Matthews has been a little sluggish in confidence due to consecutive defeats, and now he is full of flaws in Wade's view. After all, Matthews' defense relies more on his body than his brain.

An Jie also immediately defended to the basket, this time, he did not intend to give "The Flash" any gaps. If Wade dared to break into the restricted area, he wouldn't care if the visitor was a highly respected superstar. As long as you come, I will definitely let you know how amazing it is!

Just when An Jie was about to retaliate with a fierce and tough defense, Wade suddenly stopped and stood up!

"Emergency stop jump shot?" Yu Jia's eyes widened.

That's right, a pull-up jumper. Don't forget, the emergency stop jump shot is also one of Wade's trump cards!

In order to prevent Wade from breaking through, An Jie deliberately took a few steps. Unexpectedly, just these few small steps would be caught by Wade.

The basketball was hollow into the net, and Wade punched hard. This guy seems to have returned to the era when he dominated the game by himself!

"Do it!" An Jie yelled unwillingly, and the failure of the defensive end will also affect An Jie's mentality when attacking.

The impatient Anjie began to plan to deal with Bosh in a simple and rude way, but Bosh was one of the Big Three anyway. Maybe he can't handle Angie who is fighting at full strength, but Bosh can still handle a hot-tempered young man.

This time, Bosh kept holding his hands high, and did not move his position easily. In this way, none of An Jie's fake moves had any effect.

Although Anjie scored a goal under the serious interference of James in the first quarter of the game, it was only after Anjie took the lead to aim at the basket.

Now, Anjie was prevented by Bosh from even having a chance to aim at the basket. Naturally, this turnaround jumper also knocked out of the frame.

After the game came, Wade made a three-pointer directly after receiving a pass from James.

Although the three-pointer has always been the weakness of the "Flash" on the offensive end, when Wade feels like shooting, you can't make him too easy outside the three-point line.

Obviously, though, young Matthews didn't know that. He still let Wade take two steps, and his choice also allowed Wade to fill in another three points for the Heat.

The score was reversed in an instant, and Ricard had to interrupt the game in a hurry. Those few minutes just now, maybe this season, Anjie's worst defensive minutes!

The main reason is that Wade can easily get opportunities on the outside. No matter how good Anjie is, he can't deal with the three Heat alone. When Wade breaks through, no matter what Anjie chooses, the Heat have a chance.

At the end of the timeout, Ricard finally replaced everything, and on the Heat side, Spoelstra took Wade, who performed well, to rest.

Ricard is still rejoicing, he thought the Trail Blazers' nightmare was finally over. But when James used a breakthrough to attract Anjie and then distributed the ball to Bosh to complete the assist, Ricard knew that the situation was not good!

It's true that Wade took a rest after the game, but James and Bosh didn't make much effort just now. These two guys are enough to play a high-intensity wheel battle with An Jie who has consumed a lot of energy!

Other teams may avoid Anjie's defense, but today, Spoelstra and the Heat's Big Three will start to disintegrate the Blazers from Anjie!

The Heat are still making great strides, while the Blazers once fell into "sleepwalking".

Inexplicable mistakes, impetuous offense. The defense was so messed up that even Bill Wharton shook his head on the commentary stand.

The sudden force of Wade, a terrible killer, stunned the youngsters of the Trail Blazers.

Anjie didn't sit back on the bench until three minutes before the end of the first half, but his long playing time didn't show anything except that he wasted a lot of energy.

53 to 47, the Blazers, who were originally leading, were passive at the end of the half. If it weren't for the older Iguodala who stepped up and scored several goals in a row, the Heat might have established a double-digit lead.

"These little bastards are going to heaven!" Rickard kicked the Gatorade water bottle next to him away. His move caused some reporters who originally wanted to interview him at halftime to stay away. .

An Jie walked into the locker room with his head down. The domineering arrogance that was inevitable in the first quarter has completely disappeared from An Jie...
