NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Before the game started and in the warm-up stage, the Nets players could feel the pressure.

The stands on both sides were filled with all kinds of burly men in strange costumes, which made people feel suffocated.

Those who knew were fans, and those who didn't thought it was a gangster team building.

The Heat players were obviously used to such scenes, and they could still chat and laugh while warming up.

During the midfield jump ball stage,

The players of both teams slowly entered the court at the referee's whistle.

The fans in the stands wearing white Heat home jerseys shouted "Win Hot".

Obviously, this was a slogan carefully organized by the team.

The shouting of nearly 20,000 people in the audience was indeed deafening and shocking.

At the start of the game, Roy and O'Neal stood at the jump ball point.

As the referee threw the ball high, Roy was the first to tap the ball in the air.

"Defense!" "Defense!" "Defense!"...

The fans of the Heat were crazy and professional. Just by the uniform slogans, they were more than 3 levels stronger than the fans at the Nets home court.

With the encouragement of the fans, the game officially began.

The rosters of both teams:

Heat: Dwyane Wade, Eddie Jones, Rasual Butler, Udonis Haslem, Shaquille O'Neal,

Nets: Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, Roy, Tyson Chandler,

The Heat used the same lineup that won the previous game. The team was very satisfied with Rasul Butler's starting performance.

The Nets used the same old lineup without any changes.

At the beginning, under the background of the enthusiastic home atmosphere of the Heat, the Heat players' defense was particularly hard.

Every player of the Nets felt the pressure brought by the opponent's defense.

Especially Kidd, he found that Wade, who was defending him, had many small interference moves besides defense.

At the moment Kidd passed the ball, Wade reached out to steal the ball, and his hand clearly hit his own hand.

The referee seemed not to see it and chose to ignore it.

Even if Kidd complained to the referee, the referee said that it was not a foul.

Roy keenly felt that the scale of today's penalty seemed a little wrong, unexpectedly large.

Carter came around the three-point line and borrowed the basketball from Kidd.

Roy stepped up to pick and roll for Carter as usual.

After the opponent switched defense, facing Haslem's defense, Carter held the ball outside the three-point line.

He lowered his center of gravity and broke through, squeezing Haslem away with his body.

The Heat rotated defense under the basket, and O'Neal's interception came as expected.

Carter did not dodge or fear the pass, but jumped up to meet O'Neal's block.

When the two came into contact in the air, Carter relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen to stabilize his body.

He avoided O'Neal's block with his air retention ability and then scored with one hand.

Carter's offense was very active at the beginning. He was holding his breath because he didn't win despite his excellent performance in the last game.

There are two reasons why he chose to attack the inside line. Even if he didn't score, he could make the opponent foul.

O'Neal's defense was still regular. He didn't foul rashly at the beginning.

He had more important offensive tasks after the opening, and defense was just to help Haslem.

Heat attack, first round,

Wade did not choose to find O'Neal to let him single,

Instead, he faced Kidd's defense head-on and chose to break through directly,

Wade's choice attracted Roy's help defense,

Facing the defense, he passed the ball directly to Haslem, who was not guarded, pretending to shoot,

Fake shot and real pass, hit the ground to O'Neal,

O'Neal took the ball and easily pushed Chandler away with a one-handed hook shot.

The crazy dunking style in the last game was too much for O'Neal at this age,

After the game, he took a day off from back pain to recover,

In this game, he changed his strategy, from rough dunks to various skillful hooks and layups,

In his eyes, the young Chandler could easily control him no matter what tactics he used,

Why bother when you can relax?

Chandler was also a little surprised. The Shark had a chance to dunk just now. If it was the last game,

He would have been knocked to the ground by O'Neal's dunk from the same position just now. Has the opponent changed his nature today?

Kidd quickly dribbled the ball across half court.

Carter and Kidd cooperated with each other. Carter used a mid-range shot to attract the attention of the Heat, and then passed it to Kidd who was cutting in the air.

Kidd dribbled past Haslem, followed by a mysterious behind-the-back pass.

The basketball flew into Roy's hands.

Roy made a mid-range shot in the bottom corner without interference.

Haslem served the baseline ball, and Wade started to accelerate with the ball in the half court.

Wade was hard to resist at high speed, and Kidd was passed by him in one step.

GoodRoy blocked his way, ending Wade's idea of ​​continuing to break through to the basket.

Wade took the ball back to the three-point line and waited for the Shark to get into position to reorganize the attack.

O'Neal took the ball and started to back-up. Chandler was pushed back by the energetic O'Neal.

Then he turned over and made a small hook shot. Since it was not as fast as a dunk, it gave Chandler time to prepare.

At the moment O'Neal shot, Chandler jumped up and stretched out his hand to interfere.

The basketball hit the rim and went out.

O'Neal jumped up and grabbed the rebound before Chandler had time to block the position.

He wanted to jump up and dunk again. It was too late.

The basket was full of Nets players, and Carter even had his hand on the basketball.

He knew that the basketball was still in his arms. As long as he exposed the basketball, it would definitely be taken away by the Nets players.

He looked outside.

There were too many people under the basket to play. Rasul Butler stretched his arm in the bottom corner to signal.

After the last game, O'Neal had already recognized the substitute players of this team.

At least he was conscientious, had no problem with his attitude, and scored accurately.

The only shortcoming was that he was too thin, like a stick, with thin arms and thin legs.

O'Neal's ability to assist was brought into play.

His pass was very concealed, passing through the crowd and into Butler's hands.

When the Nets players saw Rasul Butler take the ball and jump to shoot, it was too late.

They could only watch him shoot.

For this type of fixed-point shooter, the hit rate is frighteningly high when there is no defense.

Open three-pointers are the bread and butter, and that's why he can be a starter.

"Shua"

O'Neal walked over excitedly and patted Butler's head.

At least from these two games, Butler's enthusiasm and ability to read the game are underestimated.

He can always find the Nets' weak areas and hit them.

The two teams fought back and forth,

but the home team's defensive moves were really big,

coupled with the referee's inaction, the Heat became more and more courageous after a series of tests,

the Nets were obviously not used to this kind of defense that was almost a foul,

Jason Kidd was even a little dazed, as if he had returned to the 1990s,

the melee-like defense in front of him was commonplace in that era,

today's Heat gave people the feeling of the most ferocious Heat team in the early 1990s, iron-blooded, tenacious, and tireless.

Is this a kind of inheritance?

But some defensive moves are no longer allowed by the rules,

some people were able to use them openly in this game,

the referee didn't care,

limited by physical contact, the Nets fell into the same situation as the previous game in the first quarter, with a very low hit rate,

24 to 33 in the first quarter at the Heat's home court, and suffered a blow from the opponent.
