The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 213
The Wizards also led the team separately during the rotation period, with Bill in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter.

The Heat used to be Wade, but now it is Wade on the surface. When Zhang Xiaotian broke out, Wade was actually mainly doing organizational work.

This combination can give James enough rest time.

The Wizards also understand that Zhang Xiaotian is a threat, but they just don't pay attention to it. They think that Martel Webster can limit Zhang Xiaotian very well, and the offensive end is no worse than him.

Without Nene, the Wizards played a small lineup during the rotation period. Their inside lineup is veterans Gooden and Harrington who have little defensive ability.

So when Zhang Xiaotian suddenly went inside like James, they didn't react for a while.

Many things will not be understood after watching the video. Many teams believe that Zhang Xiaotian's explosion at the end of the quarter is that the players defending him did not pay enough attention to him.

After all, with the Big Three around, they couldn't spare much energy.

So they think that as long as they pay attention to it, they don't need to defend against the ball, flanking and the like for the All-Star level.

Then they were sad. The strength of the rotation players was not as good as that of the main lineup. If Zhang Xiaotian couldn't enjoy the core treatment at this time, he wouldn't be as famous as he is now.

Even if you are a brainless fan, you must use your strength to attract them at first.

Just one click, the tie turned into a 6-point lead for the Heat, and the trend will continue to expand.

Wizards head coach Randy Whitman did not adjust immediately, but shouted on the court to use offense against offense and continue to attack the Wizards inside.

During the Heat's rotation, there are often three guards. Zhang Xiaotian also plays the fourth position like James at this time.

It seems that their inside line has become weaker, but it is actually just the surface.

Anderson's defense ability is not bad, Zhang Xiaotian's defense ability is not as good as that of James, but it is still enough for rotation players, especially the shooting type insider like the Wizards.

When Zhang Xiaotian and Anderson blocked each other one after another, the other party realized that they had underestimated the Heat without James.

At this time, the Wizards could not persist and could only suspend the substitution.

However, the time was a little late, and James also took advantage of the timeout to come back this time, and the difficulty of chasing points for the Wizards has increased to another level.

They can only be quite satisfactory, and they are not qualified to overwhelm the Heat at the last moment.

Especially in the star matchup in the second half of the last quarter, Wall seemed too cautious, while Bill was a little impatient.

For the Heat, the Big Three and Zhang Xiaotian all played well. In just a few minutes, the Heat expanded their score advantage and did not give the opponent any more chances.

101:90, the Heat won this back-to-back away game.

The Wizards have reached the level of a first-class team in the first three quarters, but their performance in the last quarter shows that they are still a long way from the top teams in the league.

Back in Miami, Zhang Xiaotian received news from Eddie that the Heat even discussed his contract renewal in advance.

After asking clearly, Zhang Xiaotian felt that the team was also testing, so he asked Eddie to talk first, and was not in a hurry to promise anything.

Their next opponent is the Nets. The local tyrants have recently suffered injuries, and Garnett cannot play.

But after adding memory and not playing, their record has improved instead.

This also shows that the team is not a collection of stars, especially stars whose strength has declined significantly.

Although the Nets have an average record, they are confident about the Heat.

Before the start of the game, they said before the interview that they could beat the Heat.

Among the players of the Nets, there are indeed many people who know the Big Three very well. Although most of these people are not at the peak, their ability to grasp opportunities is much better than that of young players.

After Garnett was injured, Plumlee became the starter, and the Nets still played one and four.

This actually pushed Joe Johnson to the small forward position, and the Heat also took advantage of the opportunity to let Zhang Xiaotian defend Joe Johnson.

Pierce can always regain his youth when he meets James, and this time he was ruthless from the beginning.

James doesn't feel good, and he is also adjusting during this time.

However, when Pierce was in good condition, Joe Johnson felt average. Zhang Xiaotian could also feel that the player's condition was not very good, so he immediately defended harder and killed him while he was sick.

On the Nets side, Livingston used the height to hit a few good shots, but the Heat played more efficiently, and both Wade and Bosh felt good.

But when it came to the rotation period, the Heat suffered a bit.

The Nets' bench should be stronger. Thornton, Brac and Teletovic are all good at it.

Everyone knows the shortcomings of the Heat now. The first position, the inside line and the substitute are just because the Big Three and Zhang Xiaotian are too strong, so they can't be fully utilized.

The main force of the Nets suffered a loss, and the substitutes took advantage of it. In the end, the two sides were evenly matched.

After halftime, the Heat finally had some intuitive experience with the performance of the Nets during this period.

Their record has improved during this period, probably because they used double guards to speed up after Garnett was unable to play.

Deron's attack ability has declined, but his organizational experience is still there.

In addition, the strength of the bench is stronger, and if the Heat want to defeat the Nets, they still can't do it without some means.

But they definitely have to keep a hand, after all, they may meet in the playoffs.

James' efficiency in the first half was mediocre, and the change in the second half must have started with him.

As long as they bite the score, the Heat still have the confidence to tear up the Nets in a wave in the final quarter.

Unexpectedly, Pierce took the lead in the third quarter.

The Nets use Pierce to play the fourth position, and it is unrealistic to fight James hard.

However, Pierce has rich experience, and he must pull James out when attacking, and he can't switch defenses. The Nets will not keep two people inside.

Then, before the Heat could react, Pierce hit consecutive long shots.

To be honest, Pierce's outside three-point ability can only be regarded as average, but experienced stars like them have a very clear grasp of their own touch, and it feels like a wave, which is not comparable to young players.

James reacted a little embarrassingly, now that Pierce is not at his peak, what if he can't return.

A capable player can come up with an idea, and James immediately stopped playing.

Anyway, with Zhang Xiaotian around, James has enough time to rest.

The third quarter basically belongs to Pierce, and half of the quarter belongs to James.

In the end, everyone is still in the same boat.

In fact, the Nets no longer have a strong defense player, but they have played defense all day long, and when they need to flank, they decisively flank, and they don't care that the Heat will have opportunities from the outside.

It is also because the Heat have rarely hit three-pointers this season, and the Nets are also betting right.

When it comes time for someone to break the game, the Nets are counting on a shock wave in the rotation, and the Heat are naturally looking forward to Zhang Xiaotian.
