Chapter 183 Wade's Way
Bruce Wade not only inherited the old Wade's number, but also passed on his skills, and even surpassed Dwyane Wade in some respects.

"Wade vs. James, there is a good show to watch." The front row has made all preparations for the battle, and snacks and drinks are all available.

Players from both sides entered the field, the Lakers wearing traditional gold uniforms, while the Heat wore white uniforms.

There is no doubt that Wade and James are the focus of this game, and their performance will directly determine the direction of the game.

The fly in the ointment is that James is a small forward and Wade is a shooting guard. The two are not in the same position, which means that there are not many opportunities for the two to face each other head-on.

With the style of a champion, Howard forced half of the opponent's center to help the home team get the first wave of offensive possession without any suspense.

The game officially begins and the timer starts counting.

A big reason why the Lakers can win the championship is that James is willing to let go of part of the ball to other players, and he will not participate too much in the organization at the beginning, unless the team really can't start the situation, he will come forward to solve the problem.

The first shot in the opening game is very important. Apart from James, McGrady is the team's most reliable outside shooter. The coach develops the first-ball offensive tactics around him, helping him get open three-pointers through pick-and-rolls and screens.

James put up a screen for McGrady and successfully blocked the chasing Wade. McGrady went directly to the open corner. Paul passed the ball with quick eyes and quick hands. In order to prevent the basketball from being cut off, he deliberately added a slight rotation to the basketball.

"Good pass!" McGrady took the ball and shot it directly. After landing, he turned around and returned to the defense. The basketball fell into the basket.

This is the self-confidence of the strong. He has already predicted the result of the goal the moment he makes the shot, so there is no need to look at it.

This goal made Mu Chenfeng think of Carlisle Curry. He had also hit a similar goal in the training camp, but McGrady's goal was even more exaggerated.

The tactics of [the first shot at the start] were a complete success. McGrady and Paul returned to the defense and clapped hands to celebrate. However, the most important thing about this ball was not the pass and shot, but the high-quality screen of James.

The Heat's offense is not as conservative as the Lakers. The ball is directly handed over to Wade, who will execute the offense.

In fact, this is also a helpless choice. The Heat lag behind their opponents in terms of matchups. Wade has become the team's only advantaged matchup.

Wade held the ball from outside and looked for an offensive breakthrough. The champion's defense was flawless, and other teammates were stared down.

James slowly moved closer to McGrady, ready to double-team with him, but was rejected, "No need to come, I can handle it alone."

These words obviously underestimated Wade, so Wade planned to use singles to fight back.

In terms of speed, the Flash's name resounded throughout the NBA in the past, and that was after Dwyane Wade had his meniscus removed. Compared with his father, Wade Jr. has a complete meniscus, and his speed seems to have surpassed the old Wade, and he is the new Flash.

"Is this the speed that humans can achieve?" In less than a second, McGrady was slapped hard on the face. He didn't even see Wade's movements clearly before he was completely slapped, and the ball was still a crotch-piercing ball.

Wade scored the ball and broke through the defender, but his speed did not decrease at all. The speed of the defensive players could not match it at all. He was far behind him. Howard under the basket could only take off on the spot to block. Wade dodged in the air and successfully avoided the defense.

This ball showed Wade's outstanding speed, and no one in the NBA can keep up with his speed.

"Just fight like this from the beginning, won't there be any problems?" Mu Chenfeng didn't cheer like everyone else, but calmly analyzed the game situation.

"This is what I'm worried about. Going all out will consume a lot of Wade's physical energy. If it comes to the decisive moment, will he still have the strength to compete with James?" Felix is ​​also keeping calm with him. The two of them are not watching the game as spectators, but have fully devoted themselves to the game.

The "abnormal" performance of the two attracted the attention of George and Louis. They really deserved to be their two favorite players. Only the two of them understood the real purpose of watching the game, not simply watching the game, but learning.

In the second round of offense, James still did not participate in it, but the Lakers changed their tactics and launched an attack against the Heat's weakest inside line. Although Howard is not the top in the league, he can at least rank in the top ten in the center position, and the worst part of the Heat is the inside line.

Paul slid to the bottom line, pretending to break through but actually looking for an opportunity. After successfully attracting the defense of the Heat center, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Howard.

However, Howard was also called a technical foul because of his unrestrained celebration and pulling the basket. This is his old problem, and he can't control his excitement.

"No, do you have to execute free throws yourself?"

Wade got to the free throw line to execute the free throw.

"This kind of free throw usually needs to be executed by the player with the most stable free throws in the team. Although Wade is not the highest free throw shooter in the team, his hands are the hottest. This time the free throw opportunity came too fast. The other teammates didn't even have warm hands, so it makes sense for him to execute it." George gave the correct answer for Mu Chenfeng and Felix, and he must execute this shot.

Wade lived up to expectations and hit a free throw. The Heat still have the right to attack the ball. The score will be overtaken if the ball is scored.

McGrady knew that he couldn't keep up with Wade's speed, so he didn't refuse James' help this time.

However, the two still have no way to restrain Wade. Although the double-teaming of the two looks very powerful, if the defensive abilities of the two double-teamers are too different, the double-team will be full of loopholes. Wade doesn't need to take James' defense into account at all. He only needs to target McGrady.

Wade's breakthrough is very different from that of ordinary players. He can complete the change of direction with almost no speed loss during the breakthrough process. In this regard, he completely inherits the breakthrough characteristics of the old Wade.

Wade broke through from the right side of McGrady at a very fast speed, and the opponent used all his strength to barely keep up. Suddenly, he changed direction and knocked McGrady to the ground, while he made another breakthrough.

The score is overtaken! ! !

In the first two goals, people seemed to have really seen the figure of the Flash who passed the entire league at speed in the past, and this Lightning was younger and faster than him.

The score was behind, and James finally entered the game and got the ball from Paul. At 9 minutes and 58 seconds, James touched the ball for the first time in the game.

As soon as James touched the ball, there was a deafening "MVP" cry from the audience.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The last player to enjoy this kind of treatment was Kobe Bryant.

James' shot is immediate, the defense is to complicate the opponent's offense, and the role of the star is to make the game easier.

Needless to say, Howard's advantage in the interior, one-on-one defense is difficult to limit him.

call out!
The basketball drew a straight line of wallpaper from outside the three-point line and passed to Howard's hands. The pass was very sudden, coupled with its speed and strength, the Heat did not respond. Only James can wear such a high-quality pass.

Howard had already suffered a technical foul, and Howard didn't dare to brazenly say it again. Two technical fouls would result in expulsion, so Howard chose to end the attack with a hook. Although the hook is not as good as a dunk, it is more than enough to deal with this level of inside players.

James finally filled in the blank data column. Like the past 59 games of the season, the first number to fill in his data must be assists.

This situation has only started to happen this season. In the previous seasons, James paid great attention to the data performance of scoring and rebounding, and this season assists have become his first choice.

His assists don't have too many bells and whistles, they are simple, direct, and effective, like a sharp knife, piercing the opponent's vitals.

If the start of the game is a microcosm, the Lakers are the best representative of team basketball, and the Heat are the ultimate in individual ability.

The team fell behind, and Wade was always the first to stand up. From Dwyane to Bruce, they were willing to give everything for the team.

"Leave it to me." James wants to switch defenders with McGrady, and he will defend Wade himself.

"I" McGrady was very helpless. He was forced to change defenders because he couldn't restrain the opponent. This was a great blow to a player's confidence, but McGrady really couldn't guard Wade.

"Did I not make it clear enough?" James was very disappointed with McGrady's performance, but he did not expect Wade to be full of firepower from the very beginning. In fact, he was not fully sure that he could prevent Wade.

"Here we come." Seeing that it was James who appeared in front of him, Wade smiled triumphantly, as if he had long been looking forward to this evenly matched matchup.

The two confronted each other head-on for the first time, and there was constant cheering before the fight started.

"It's really simple and rude." Louis sighed as if thinking of something.

"What?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"James retained his physical fitness by not participating in the offense. The purpose was to open up a gap with Wade in physical fitness. Wade stepped on the accelerator at the beginning and suppressed McGrady frantically. This forced the Lakers to change their defensive strategy. Wade's game intensity was only matched by James' ability, so James had to switch to Wade, which shattered his wishful thinking of preserving physical fitness."

"In this way, there will be no physical disparity between the two of them." Mu Chenfeng added.

"Yes, he is indeed the son of Dwyane Wade, and his vigorous style is very much like his father."

"Maybe this is Wade's way."
