NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 199 Wade even made a three-pointer
The second quarter of the game is about to start, and the Trail Blazers replaced the lineup of half main force and half substitute, led by Lillard and Batum.

For the Heat, James, who played the first quarter, did not go to rest. This year, his playing time is 37 minutes per game. Although it is not as good as the average of 1.0 minutes per game in the 10 period of the Cavaliers, it can still be called in the league. On model workers.

Teammates with James are Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Battier and Lewis, all four teammates have enough three-point threats.

All stars!
The lineup put out by Heat coach Spoelstra can maximize James' historical breakthrough points.

At the end of the intermission, the referee blew the whistle to start the second quarter.

Lewis served to Norris Cole from the backcourt, and the latter advanced.

In the frontcourt, Norris Cole handed the ball to James, and according to the tactical requirements, he opened the space with Ray Allen and Battier.

James received the ball and saw that the defender of the penalty area under the Blazers basket had changed from No. 36 to a No. 19 he didn't know, and he had no scruples in his heart.

It's impossible for every young person to be so top!
Batum sensed James' intention and slammed it up, but this was not enough to stop James' breakthrough. The latter's speed first dropped for one beat, then increased for the second time, and went straight to the basket.

Batum's interference slowed James' rhythm and gave Aldridge a chance to help defend. When James rushed a step outside the reasonable collision zone, Aldridge rushed out and collided with James.

After the two had physical contact, James relied on his career-high weight of 120 kilograms, coupled with the inertia brought by the charge all the way, knocked away the 109-kg tonnage Aldridge, and came to the basket to rely on his strong core strength. A layup was made.

Just when James took off, Aldridge subconsciously spread his hands to interfere, but soon regretted it.

"Dick... Defensive foul on No. 12!"

James chewed his braces and made an extra free throw, two plus one.

"It's hard to imagine that LaMarcus on the inside can't stand up to LeBron." Kenny Smith was so emotional that he turned his head and said, "By the way, Charles, if you met LeBron at your peak, would you be able to hold him up?"

Kenny Smith looked curiously at Barkley beside him. The latter used to cross the league with a height of 1 meters, and his physical fitness can be seen to be average.

"This is really a difficult question to answer, isn't it?"

Barkley swept away his usual hippie smile, and began to think quite seriously.

After winning the first championship of his career, James is less than 30 years old and is at the peak of his career. Facing such a historical super giant, Barkley can't help being moved.

"If it is purely physical confrontation, I am absolutely sure that I will not fall behind."

After a long time, Barkley finally spoke.

Kenny Smith on the side nodded.

The body of this flying pig is really awesome!
Barkley continued: "But if you want to defend LeBron, it is undoubtedly talking in the sky. The real super can form a mutual explosion, but it is difficult to limit the opponent."

"What about Michael? Can he guard LeBron?"

Kenny Smith named the last person Barkley wanted to hear.

"I can tell you with confidence that even Michael can't guard against LeBron!"

Perhaps worried about causing unnecessary controversy, Barkley quickly added: "The two players are not in the same position at all, and LeBron's weight this season is heavier than most centers. If you want to choose a forward position The player who gave LeBron the most defensive intensity in the world, my number one recommendation is Scottie Pippen."

……

It's the official timeout.

At 35:43, the Blazers were about to fall behind the Heat by double digits.

In the first half of the quarter, both teams had already lost to the Trail Blazers without any suspense. The entire defensive end of the team was pierced by James. Among the Heat's 17 points, James scored 11 points.

If he defends James close to him, he will be strong. If he puts a step outside the three-point line, the latter has a three-point shooting rate of more than [-]%. Batum's face is distressed by a sudden shot in the back.

In addition, once James plays a pick-and-roll cover, the Blazers' current basket protection, as long as James starts up, no one can stop him.

……

When the lineup returned to the bench, Coach Terry looked at Wang Zelin: "Wang, it's your turn to play."

Wang Zelin nodded.

Coach Terry got a response and replaced Batum, Joel Freeland, Wickert Clever, and replaced Aldridge, Matthews, Will Barton

In view of Batum's average performance on the court, the restrictions on James are dispensable. Counting Lillard who stayed on the court, the Trail Blazers can almost be said to be a full starter.

Batum: "..."

Opposite the Heat's bench.

"LeBron, do you need me to play?"

Wade handed the towel to James and asked.

"No need, the team is leading now, you need to rest for a while, and your knee..." James replied.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Where is it."

Bosh on the side watched this scene with great interest, always feeling weird in his heart.

……

After returning from the timeout, with the return of Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers' basket protection performance has obviously improved qualitatively, and the offensive threat has also increased significantly.

The Heat's current inside combination is Lewis and James. Lewis obviously can't handle Wang Zelin. As long as he pays more attention to James' supplementary defense, it will be easy to force him to the basket.

Trail Blazers attack.

Wang Zelin slid down the high screen and dunked on Lewis's head. James, who couldn't get back in time, watched all this with his hips akimbo.

That's why he didn't let Sipo that guy into the main lineup.

Because he knew that even if Bosh played again, the restrictions on Wang Zelin would be minimal.

Since defense cannot prevent the opponent's inside attack, it is better to maintain the current lineup and let the game enter its own rhythm.

Attack to attack!

Before the game, James had already had a countermeasure for this game.

"Ray, Sean, make more moves in a while, as long as you get out of position, I guarantee the ball will be in your hands."

James received the ball in the backcourt and said suddenly.

"Ok!"

"it is good!"

Ray Allen and Battier responded quickly.

"After the king came on the court, the changes in the Blazers are obvious. No, two points have already been obtained." Yang Yi said.

"The Heat still maintain the same lineup as before. It is estimated that the difference is nearly [-] points, which makes Coach Spoelstra very confident, but I think he may have underestimated the Blazers..."

Director Zhang's voice hadn't finished yet. On the field, James easily passed Will Barton. After coming to the basket, he didn't choose to be strong, but to send the ball to the outside.

At the same time, Ray Allen suddenly ran back from the baseline and got back beyond the three-point line, and James' pass arrived.

"Shh!"

Gentleman Lei raised his knife and dropped it, splashes appeared, and he hit a three-pointer.

"Ray!! Allen!!!"

The DJ shouted excitedly.

"Three-point king! Three-point king..."

This is Ray Allen's second three-pointer in this game, as if telling the outside world that he is not old, and there is a wave of waves inside the arena.

"This old guy..."

Wang Zelin served the bottom line while thinking.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

James growled.

Ray Allen's successive three-pointers made him more determined.

The Blazers attacked, and the ball was in Wang Zelin's hands again. Wang Zelin arched back, hugged the ball with both hands and turned towards the basket.

"Oh!"

Another split.

But then, James took the ball and went down quickly. When facing Will Barton's defense in the whole scene, it is rare that he did not choose to force him, but distributed the ball to the outside.

At this time, Battier just ran to the position of the top arc three-point line. After receiving a pass from James, he made a slight adjustment and made a decisive shot.

"Crack! Swish!"

Hit the board with a three-pointer.

39: 49.

The point difference has come to 10 points.

Coach Terry on the sidelines scratched his head helplessly.

Obviously, there was nothing wrong with the team's two offenses and both scored, but the point difference was widened instead.

Is the three-pointer so easy to use?
Facts have proved that the three-pointer is really good when the touch is coming.

The time behind the second quarter is like the epitome of the first two bows.

Wang Zelin and Aldridge frequently succeeded in attacking inside, but they couldn't stop the widening gap.

What James meant was that the punishment made the Blazers hard to guard against, plus Ray Allen and Battelle felt pretty good today.

In the second quarter, Ray Allen contributed three three-pointers, Battier made two shots, and Lewis also made one of three shots in the inside.

Under the leadership of James and the excellent performance of a group of shooters, the Heat rained a wave of three-pointers under the witness of more than 2 spectators.

At 51:66, the Blazers trailed the Heat by as much as 15 points at halftime.

How is this still playing?
All the Heat's bench members looked depressed, and Wang Zelin and others looked at the bright score difference on the scoreboard with blank faces.

Ask yourself, their offensive rhythm is not bad, it can even be said to be excellent, but they can't hold back the performance of the Heat.

Is this the power of the three-pointer?

Is this why the traditional insiders have declined in the small ball era?

Wang Zelin sat in his seat, looking at everything on the field with a cold expression.

In the original history, with the Warriors winning the second O'Brien Cup in team history under the leadership of Curry two years later, Curry won the first championship of his career.

Since then, the structure of the alliance has undergone new changes.

Especially after the phrase "jump shooting teams can't win championships" was broken, the NBA officially opened the prelude to the small ball era.

Its leader, Curry, or Ku Ritian, used a three-pointer against the sky to shatter a series of iron laws in the league.

The training of three-pointers has become an increasingly important part of the training plan of all teams in the league.

Even Sima Weiqi said in an interview, "I hate three-pointers. In my opinion, this is not a basketball game at all. Three-pointers are like cheating. You should shoot two points..."

But everyone knows that under the leadership of Sima Weiqi, the Spurs have become one of the teams with the strongest three-point shooting ability in the league.

The rise of the three-pointer seems to be the trend of the times~ The three-pointer rain just now by the Heat made Wang Zelin think about it.

Do not!
I do not believe!
The idea that the three-pointer is bound to rise has just arisen in his mind, but Wang Zelin has another idea.

If I only need to shoot three-pointers in the future, then what are my strength and inside skills?
Wang Zelin, who was reborn with the system, still insisted on honing his inside skills after knowing that the small ball era was coming, but he did not practice three-pointers, precisely because of a resistance in his heart.

He wants to try to fight against the next small ball era, or...he wants to reverse the next small ball era.

He doesn't believe it anymore, he + the system can't handle the era of a mere community.

"Coach, I want to continue playing!"

Coach Terry was drawing pictures with David van der Poel, discussing what tactics to play in the second half and how to rotate personnel when Wang Zelin suddenly stood up.

"Wang, but your physical strength..."

"My physical strength is fine. I really don't believe it. They can always feel so good."

Wang Zelin's words reveal that it cannot be questioned.

"Yes, after all, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate." Coach Terry murmured.

Heat bench.

The team's tactical board is held by player No. 6, surrounded by teammates and assistants.

Coach Spoelstra has been used to this for a long time, and he consciously found a gap, squeezed aside and watched James explain tactics while gesturing.

"In the second half, Dwyane and I will increase the basket and break through. Chris, Ray and Sean, you open up the space. Whether it is me or Dwyane, as long as there is a chance, we will pass the ball to you. Don't hesitate to shoot the ball, and the other two will come in and help us grab the rebound!"

"Chris, you can try to draw Wang Zelin's foul in the paint, even if you can't guard him, you'll still disgust him!"

"..."

James' tactics are very simple, just two words - sudden points.

For the Heat with James and Wade, this is precisely the most suitable tactical play for them, driving the third line with two points.

The rest of the team has no problem with that. After the championship season, the Heat's cooperation and so on have reached a new level.

……

At the beginning of the third quarter, Wade received the ball in the backcourt and pushed it to the frontcourt.

Wade, who hadn't played for nearly a quarter, wanted to try to find a touch and let his teammates pull away.

Lillard looked dignified, staring at Wade one step inside the three-point line.

Wade is not a guard who is good at shooting, so it shouldn't be a big problem to let it go a little bit... right!

Wade saw that No. 0 on the opposite side opened himself up so wide. He originally planned to break through, but suddenly shot a three-pointer from the outside.

I really thought I was the No. 9 of the Celtics, and I didn't dare to shoot when there was a wide open.

With a hint of annoyance, Wade raised the ball ~ jumped ~ shook his wrist.

"What?"

This scene stunned many viewers, including Barkley.

You must know that Wade's three-point shooting percentage, except for the only four seasons when it exceeded 4%, was only in the early 17.1% all the year round, and even only [-]% in one year.

Wade's three-point shooting rate this season is 25.8%, averaging 1 shot per game, and hitting 0.2 times.

Threat is equivalent to none.

However, a player of Wade's level really can't free up wide open spots.

After Wade made a three-pointer, the basket was crowded instantly. Wang Zelin grabbed the position and prepared to rush to the rebound. Even Lillard turned his head and rushed to the basket at the first time.

The whole process was only a few seconds, the basketball was getting closer and closer to the basket, just when everyone was about to take off...

"Shh!"

Wade made his first three-pointer of the field.

"OMG! Dwayne's in, he's in!"

The on-site DJ is like Christmas, get up when you are excited.

"When will even Wade be able to score three-pointers?"

Wang Zelin looked in disbelief at the No. 3 player at the top arc outside the three-point line.

What an international joke?
God does not help me ~ help Ercao!
