The strength of both teams is just as everyone predicted before the game. The two teams are very close.

Nets locker room

Head coach Frank is quite satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

There may be some minor flaws overall, but the flaws are not enough to cover the merits.

Especially Lagabell's defense.

"Laga, your defense against Wade in the second quarter was great. You must maintain this pressure in the second half."

Lagabell was very excited. As a player in the Jazz for so many years, he knew that the strength of the Jazz was just hovering on the edge of the playoffs.

For the impact of the championship, no one cares because everyone knows it is impossible.

In the original Jazz, except for head coach Jerry Sloan, the remaining players were not the material to go far in the playoffs.

After coming to the Nets, he can feel everyone's desire for the championship every day. Those are the goals he almost forgot after leaving college.

This is a team that is truly working towards the championship.

Frank once again emphasized the importance of defense to the players, especially for the combination of O'Neal and Wade of the Heat, and they can't relax for a moment.

In the Heat locker room,

Wade obviously felt uncomfortable after Lagabel started defending in the second quarter.

The sticky defense reminded him of Bruce Bowen.

He was always sticking to him, and that kind of irritability made him very angry.

O'Neal saw Wade's dilemma.

"Listen, Dwyane, do you know what Kobe would do in this situation?"

"What would he do?" Wade looked puzzled.

"The more the opponent entangled and defended him, the more he would fight with the defender until he knocked the defender down. Although I don't agree with his way of dealing with things, you need to learn the paranoia on the court."

"Then what should I do?" The young Wade looked confused. Even facing the iron bucket formation of the Pistons, he didn't have such a hard time today.

O'Neal raised his mouth:

"Listen, man, this is not a problem of ability. It's easy to deal with. Just like me, you have to fight against those damn guys. In my opinion, your physical fitness is at least one level better than his. You have to learn to crush him with your body!"

This is O'Neal's way to win. When you encounter a body function that is not as good as yours, use it as a breakthrough!

Wade sat in his seat and thought about it.

He soon understood what O'Neal said. Just like James of the same class, if you can crush it, just crush it.

No need to be fancy, as long as you can beat the opponent, it's a good method.

Physical fitness is the hard truth. In the NBA, if you can know how to use your physical talent, you can go further.

Listening to the two chatting, Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy did not interrupt the whole time.

When he couldn't solve it himself, Shark would help him solve it.

It's not just a saying that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. O'Neal is experienced, and what he can pass on is extremely valuable experience.

In the second half, the Heat had the ball.

Wade stood on the three-point line with the ball, and Lagabel continued the close defense intensity of the first half.

Wade standing in front of him was obviously not as overwhelmed as in the first half.

Did he become so calm just after the halftime break?

Lagabel was a little dazed.

Wade was not in a hurry. He was reading the Nets' defense.

In addition to keeping an eye on Haslem, who he was defending, Roy was always on guard against Wade's movements.

Wade also understood that attacking from the side where Roy could assist in defense,

Even if he could break through, he would face Roy's follow-up defense.

That kind of feeling of covering the sky and the sun was something that no guard wanted to face.

Wade adjusted the direction of dribbling, and he found the opportunity to attack from the other side of Roy.

Roy had seen this routine before, and Paul Pierce had used this method in the last series.

Roy was not worried at all. Chandler's defense level was also very high. Even if he was not as good as himself, the gap would not be too big.

Wade's breakthrough began to be difficult for Lagabel,

The Flash was so strong and fast that Lagabel's thin body became stretched in front of Wade,

The first step was as fast as lightning, with excellent explosive power and impact, directly opening a gap in Lagabel's defense,

Wade accelerated along this flaw and quickly passed Lagabel,

Even though Lagabel used all his skills in defense and kept making small movements with his hands,

It still couldn't stop Wade from smoothly breaking into the heart of the Nets in the third step,

Chandler turned to make up for the defense,

The Flash had accelerated his footsteps and jumped with a strong impact, fighting Chandler in the air

What if the opponent is strong? Chandler is least afraid of the small guard.

He still has absolute confidence. As long as the opponent dares to shoot, he will definitely slap the opponent down from the air like slapping a fly.

But he was wrong. This is no longer the Wade in the first half.

The first half was just a mentality problem. After thinking it through, Wade's ability is not a problem at all.

He took the initiative to make physical contact with Chandler in mid-air.

He used his strong waist and abdomen strength in the air to avoid Chandler's block. He pulled the ball with his low hand, and the basketball fell into the basket from the other side of the hoop and rubbed the backboard!

This is the Flash's sense of the ball.

The sense of the ball is very metaphysical, and it is related to the fusion of the body and the ball.

Some people are stiff like a crab when they lay up, and can only use their physical advantages to crush their opponents to lay up.

Some people can twist the layup into various angles and still put the ball into the basket in an incredible way.

The previous representative is LeBron James and Josh Smith.

The other representative is Manu Ginobili, and Dwyane Wade after he got the hang of it.

Wade's abnormal performance attracted Roy's attention.

He originally thought that Wade might not be able to crack it so quickly, but he didn't expect that only one quarter had passed since Lagabel came on the court to defend.

He had already thought of a way to crack it, worthy of being a super giant embryo.

But he soon felt relieved. Without this ability, he could not become a super giant later.

Roy knew that Lagabel was not strong, and was restrained by Wade, a short and strong heavy guard.

Wade confronted Lagabel at the beginning of the third quarter and hit him directly on the weak spot.

The reason why he was not used to it before was that no team used Bruce Bowen's method to defend Wade.

His ability to cope and grow is indeed fast, which greatly exceeded Roy's expectations.

Fortunately, the Nets still have many candidates to choose from for defense. If it doesn't work, they can attack.

Roy is still quite confident in the Nets' excellent offensive ability.

In the Nets' offensive round, Kidd dribbled on the three-point line, looking for Roy.

In this quarter, Haslem also changed his strategy for defending Roy.

"Is this a circumvention?" Kidd laughed.

He didn't know where Haslem got the courage to circumvent an MVP-level player with ball-holding ability.

Besides, the Nets have so many ball-holders, is this really useful?

Haslem was entangled with Roy outside the restricted area, desperately blocking Roy in front of him to prevent him from receiving the ball. Haslem was very proud of this. As long as he didn't let you receive the ball and didn't have the ball in his hand, he believed that even Roy would not be a concern.
