Chapter 25 Defensive Counterattack
Kenny Smith stared wide-eyed, looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, rubbed his eyelids, and then confirmed that the performance in front of him was real.

Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, observed the situation calmly, and made a screen pick-and-roll with Odom,
James and Boozer quickly changed positions to defend, just when they thought Wade would pass or break through,
Wade dribbled the ball, turned sideways, and suddenly accelerated. This change of rhythm caught James and Boozer by surprise, and Wade got rid of the defense in an instant. It felt like Wade was walking in the sunset. , as if dodging two speeding bicycles, relaxed and freehand.

Entering the right side of the penalty area, he took off one step after the free throw line. His tall figure was gliding in the air, grabbing the ball with one hand, and he was about to perform a wonderful one-handed dunk.

Ilgauskas let go of Bryan Grant's defense and jumped to block the shot.

Wade retracted and stretched his body, dodged in the air, and then, suddenly took the hand of the basket, replaced his right hand with his left hand, and poured the basketball into the basket.

Pull the lever and change hands for a coquettish dunk, 2 to 2! !
"Oh, my God, what did I see just now? Wade actually imitated Jordan's pull-bar dunk, isn't it true?" Barkley opened his mouth wide in surprise, his jaw dropped to the ground.

Kenny Smith quickly came back to his senses, and quickly explained: "Riley held the fifth pick at the time, and the Heat needed a tall insider. As a result, he didn't choose Chris Kaman and Crispo, the two big insiders. Instead, he chose Wade, the dark horse outside player of the NCAA.

It seems that it is not unreasonable, Wade's speed is too fast, and his physique is too strong, which is completely in line with what Riley said, Wade is 5cm lower than Jordan.Not surprisingly, Riley has great ambitions, and his calculations are loud. He wants to build a Jordan as a point guard. Can Wade really meet Riley's expectations?Let us wait and see! "

Although Wade did not take off from outside the free throw line, nor did he stick out his tongue in the air, which is different from the classic exciting scene that Jordan brought to the fans to take off from outside the free throw line and dunk with one hand. , but didn't say a word, and got Jordan's flair.

Especially when breaking into the penalty area, he accelerated quickly after a pause, and rushed into the penalty area like lightning. The weird pace made people's scalp tingle.

The fans and spectators outside the stadium suddenly fell silent when they saw Wade's superb performance.
Everyone stretched their necks and stared, as if ducks were pinched by their necks with both hands, unable to make a sound.

When they came back to their senses, there was thunderous applause and thunderous cheers from the sidelines, almost wanting to topple the roof of the gymnasium.

clack clack...

With joy on his face, the photographer on the sidelines kept his fingers on the sidelines, and took pictures of this thrilling scene, capturing this series of dunks, and was so excited to death.

Wade's offensive dunk is really coquettish!
As soon as the game started, the two lottery rookies started to exert their strength and jointly presented a wonderful offensive visual feast, which feasted the eyes of everyone present and was very excited.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attack.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he was not in a hurry to attack, but watched the situation on the field while protecting the ball.

The Heat defended the zone defense. Four players shrunk to the basket, and Wade pressed out to force the player with the ball. It seemed that they wanted to let the Cavaliers shoot from the outside, protect the rebounds, and prevent the Cavaliers from attacking the inside.

James dribbled and squeezed. Wade, who defended close to him, found that Wade's strength was good. At the same time, he also knew that Wade was fast, had a certain stealing ability, and was full of defensive aggression. There was no advantage in forcing singles.

James didn't call the pick-and-roll and passed the ball directly to Ilgauskas in the low post.

At the left basket, Ilgauskas received the ball and held the ball behind the frame. Grant defended close to the top and used his physical strength to squeeze Ilgauskas out of the basket.

Ilgauskas squeezed the defensive player hard, turned around suddenly and hooked the basketball to the basket.
Grant didn't even reach out, and turned around to grab a rebound.

A swish sound,
The basketball easily got into the net, and Ilgauskas used his height to score in a low single, 4 to 2, and the Cavaliers once again took a two-point lead.

Brian Grant is called "braided handsome" by the fans. He has always been desperate, and he is a bit desperate. He is a representative of the iron-blooded tough guy.After Mourning left the court, the Heat have not been able to find a replaceable inside player, and can only let Grant, who plays the power forward position, go up.

However, although Grant's style of play is tough and similar to Mourning, but limited by his height of only 206 cm, facing the hook of 221 cm tall Ilgauskas, he can only do nothing, only hope that the opponent's hit rate is not high.

The Heat attacked, Wade dribbled the ball slowly through the half court, James clung to him and entangled him, giving no room for a breakthrough.

At 75 degrees to the right, Eddie Jones received a pass from Wade, and shook the ball in front of the frame. Ricky just stretched out his hand, intending to interfere, and took off without shaking.

Eddie Jones saw that the opponent was not deceived, stepped down and dribbled continuously, switched from his right hand to his left, suddenly accelerated, broke through to the left, broke into the horn area, and made a two-point emergency stop jumper.

Ricky was chasing and defending, and at the same time jumped up and stretched out his hands to seal his eyes, and the basketball flew to the basket.

With a bang,
The basketball hit the rim and bounced wide.

Grant didn't wait for the basketball to drop, and threw his body directly into the paint, fighting Ilgauskas and Boozer in hand-to-hand combat, showing his hot-blooded style.

Grant is only 206cm tall, but he was able to sign a 7-year $8340 million contract, relying on this desperate effort.

In the 2002-03 season, he started 82 regular season games and averaged 10.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.Although he lacks height and talent, he has become a superstar among blue-collar workers and a representative of the pinnacle blue-collar workers by virtue of his fearless temperament.

Even the Cavaliers once appreciated it very much. The invitation to a seven-year $7 million contract was only for Grant's main position.In order to win the NBA championship, he chose to play for the Heat, which has the ability to win the championship.

This time the rebound was won by Ilgauskas, who is a master. However, Ilgauskas grinned on his face, and his chest was hit hard.

Eddie Jones missed a jumper with an emergency stop, and he didn't miss a single point. He turned around and quickly returned to the defense. Odom, Haskem, and Grunt also quickly retreated to the half court. Only Wade rushed to the player with the ball and blocked the ball. James wants to play the chance of a quick counterattack.

The Cavaliers couldn't make a quick counterattack, so James could only slowly dribble to the frontcourt and play positional battles.

I wanted to find Ilgauskas in the low post again, but Gertrude went around to defend early and did not give Ilgauskas an easy chance to catch the ball and attack.

James chose to play a pick-and-roll with Boozer, broke through with the ball, and Odom actively switched defenses. Now he is not blocked, and he is on the basketball court with his whole body and mind, and his defensive ability is above the level.

You know, as an all-round player, Odom can defend from the first position to the fourth position, and his defensive strength is not bad.

James failed to break through and passed the ball to Ricky on the right for a single.

Facing Jones' single-handed defense, Ricky failed to force a breakthrough, and hastily made a two-point mid-range shot. With a bang, the basketball missed the basket.

Grant flung his body into the lane again, bouncing with Ilgauskas, the basketball missed by both, and was picked off by a rebounding Lamar Odom.

Seeing that Odom took the rebound, Wade immediately counterattacked without stopping.

Odom is known as a left-handed magician. He has a good ability to support the pass. A long-distance pass finds Wade just past halftime. He catches the ball and counterattacks. step to the basket,
James returned to the defense quickly, but Wade ran too fast with all his strength, and the half court was full of space. James couldn't retreat at full speed and distracted Wade who was holding the ball.

Overtaken by Wade in an instant, he took off with one step after the free throw line, his tall body gliding in the air, grabbing the ball with one hand, and he was about to stage a wonderful one-handed dunk.

Wade suddenly changed his right hand to his left in the air and dunked the basketball into the basket.

Wade counterattack dunks, 6 to 4.

Looking back, the Cavaliers quickly served from the baseline and wanted to play a fast break, but were dragged back by Wade to block the opportunity to advance quickly.

James can only slow down the rhythm and grind the position with the Cavaliers.

Ilgauskas was defended by Grant and couldn't catch the basketball. He was pulled to the outside to cover, and he didn't have a good chance to make a shot.

James can only reorganize and cooperate with Boozer in the pick-and-roll again. After the screen, Boozer goes down, receives a pass from James, and directly faces Wade's defense.

Haslem simply let go of Miles, who was the main defender, and double-teamed Boozer with Wade, seeing that Miles had no mid-range shooting ability.

Facing the double-team, Boozer had no chance to make a shot and passed the ball to Miles who was wide open on the left.

45 degrees to the left, facing the frame of the catch, Miles caught the ball and took a look. Instead of shooting, he dribbled a step forward. When Haslem was not in place, he made a two-point mid-range jumper.

With a bang, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Miles was the No. 2000 pick in the [-] NBA Draft, and his personal data performance is also very stable.

In the 2000-2001 season, he averaged 25 minutes per game with the Clippers, scoring 9.4 points and 5.9 rebounds. His outstanding performance earned him a selection in the first team of the NBA All-Rookie Team.

2001-2002赛季上场了82场，场均出场31分钟，却只交出了9.5分5.5个篮板。

The rookie contract expired, came to the Cavaliers, played the starting small forward, 2002-03 show, 67 regular games, 62 starts, scored 9.2 points and 5.4 rebounds.

After playing for three full years, whether in the Clippers or the Cavaliers, Miles' data has not changed much. For a rookie, this score can be regarded as a passing score.

As the saying goes, the score is not high, just pass it!

If it's just an ordinary rookie, such a result is not bad!In all fairness, it can be regarded as excellent.

However, Miles entered the NBA league under the title of 'KG II', and his personal performance did not match the expectations of others.

You know, Garnett's large mid-range shot is his specialty. He often makes a mid-range shot against the defensive player on the left side. After scoring, he will roar and hit his chest. This kind of domineering performance, It is called iron and blood shooting.

Myers gave the feeling that he hadn't made any progress, he didn't even have an open mid-range shot, he just wanted to dunk!

Could it be that Hanamichi Sakuragi is possessed in Miles' body, and he only wants to dunk in his head, and he doesn't even want to practice mid-range shots?
Grant, Odom, and Haslem rushed for a three-pointer and rebounded. Haslem grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Odom.

Wade and Jones will go down at any time, ready to counterattack quickly.

The Cavaliers had already responded, counterattacked on the spot, did not give Odom a chance to get out of the basket, and suppressed the Heat's quick counterattack.

Wade could only step back to the half court, receive a pass from Odom, and start a positional battle slowly.

Odom pulled up to the high position, played a pick-and-roll with Wade, screened and rolled down, Wade broke through Boozer with the ball, used his speed, entered the penalty area, took the ball in three steps, and stumbled to throw the basketball to the basket , Under the interference of Ilgauskas, with a bang, the basketball hit the basket and bounced out.

Grant rushed to grab the rebound again, but Ilgauskas failed to grab a good position, the rebound flew out, was picked off by Odom, and got a second chance to attack.

Odom held the ball at the basket, turned around with a dribble and pulled the basket up. Facing the blockade of Ilgauskas and Boozer, his right hand in the air was replaced by his left hand. With a random hook, the basketball wiped the board and hit the basket.

Two points at the basket, 8 to 4.
The Heat were airtight defensively, watertight, grabbed rebounds, and quickly counterattacked.

When attacking the position, swing it if you have a chance, or grab a second chance to attack at the basket.

In these few rounds of offense, the Heat will defend and counterattack, and this tactic is vividly reflected.
