NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The old man was beaten.

Chapter 205 The Flash

As Wade made a mid-range shot, a look of annoyance appeared on Houston’s face.

This season, the Knicks’ offense has been going smoothly. From the perspective of winning the game, the defense of the “mid-range shooting king” that has been criticized has become an unnoticeable shortcoming.

But when the game really came to the semi-finals, when he really met the stars, Houston seemed a little weak.

The age of this 30+ veteran was still exposed, and he was still more than a little bit worse than the young Wade.

Dwyane Wade, who just entered the league, mainly highlighted fast, accurate and ruthless!

Good passing vision and quick-start and stop breakthrough skills make him feel comfortable as a point guard.

The game continues.

The Heat players celebrated with Wade.

This game is not only the Eastern Conference semifinals, but also a dialogue between two rookies.

Being able to use his personal ability to score the first goal in the hands of the Knicks, this small guard from Marquette University is enough to hold his head high.

“Keep it up, Dwyane!”

Big Van Gundy on the sidelines waved his hands vigorously as an atmosphere group.

On the other side.

Herb Sendek, with a complicated look, was about to say something but stopped.

He wanted D’Antoni to change the defender, but D’Antoni seemed to see through his thoughts and waved his hand to stop him.

This was just the first ball of the opening. Not to mention the impact of directly adjusting the defensive matchup on Houston, can the Heat’s No. 3 rookie keep such a good touch and score continuously?

Don’t say D’Antoni doesn’t believe it.

Even Houston himself doesn’t believe it.

With the title of “Mid-range Shooter King”, Houston knows every mid-range position in Madison Square Garden and the difficulty of shooting with the ball.

In the previous few seasons, when Houston was not the core of the ball, he was still the team’s off-ball shooter, and his hit rate was 2 points higher than now.

He knows that the difficulty of shooting with the ball is not at the same level as shooting with the ball.

Even if a pure shooter catches the ball in the mid-range, a rookie like this does not have enough shooting experience and cannot achieve a high hit rate.

The coaching staff is ready to give it a try, and so is Houston.

Switch offense.

Houston on the Knicks side quickly got the answer ball!

Wang Song’s solid pick-and-roll in the free throw line area created a lot of space for him. With the pressure of competition and a relaxed mentality, this shot is nothing more than a shooting training that has been tempered for Houston.

The scoreboard jumps!

4:2!

The Heat players showed no expression on their faces and switched to offense.

Before the game, both sides had a relatively clear expectation of the game process. No matter which team it was, it would be difficult for the game against the Knicks to become a dull iron battle.

The high efficiency of the New Yorkers made it impossible for the opponent to stop attacking.

Once the offense was disconnected, the Knicks would end the game in the most cruel way.

Van Gundy knew this well.

Similarly.

The Heat players on the court were no exception.

Facing the Knicks’ aggressive offense, their response was the same.

The ball was still given to Wade, who broke through the penalty area from the outside, but Wang Song’s defense was very timely in this round, but the Heat star had no intention of stopping at all, trying to finish against the 213 big man.

But Wade is not the “Flash” of the future. Although he is young, he still lacks experience. The ball was directly pressed down.

When Wang Song got this block, there was an uproar at the scene.

But before the fans’ cheers died down, Wade, who almost lost his balance, picked up the ball that had been blocked and hit the ball high, without any intention of dodging.

In this round, Wade, who was actively fighting for the ball, got the result he wanted.

Beep!

The referee’s whistle sounded, and Wang Song paid a foul.

The fans in Madison Garden knew how to judge the situation very well. At the moment of the block, their cheers instantly turned into boos.

The boos put great pressure on the referee on the scene.

But the objective and fair referee team in New York did not change the decision because of the pressure from the fans. They still maintained the original decision, and Wade went to the free throw line to shoot free throws.

2 free throws and 1 made!

Wade, who was watching Wang Song, gasped and missed a free throw.

Wang Song took the rebound and signaled his teammates to slow down the pace a little.

“Wang, that family

The guy is so quick!”

“I thought the rookie would be surprised after being blocked, but he bent down to pick up the ball and then made a tip-in in one go.”

Wang Song, who received his first foul in the game, was comforted by his teammates.

You should know that throughout the regular season, Wang Song only averaged 1.8 fouls per game.

The block foul ratio is more than 2.5!

The well-deserved No. 1 in the league, achieving a gap-like lead over other players.

And Nash and Houston, who just advised Wang Song, are also very clear about the cleanliness of this Asian kid on the defensive end… Even if they encounter extremely strict body hair whistles on the road, it is difficult to find trouble with him.

The neat defensive style can also have a huge amount of block data, which is enough to reflect his ability to protect the frame.

And in this game, less than 2 minutes into the game, In just one minute, he received his first foul, which was enough to prove Wade’s ability to draw fouls.

Even in the history of the NBA, Wade’s ability to draw fouls in his career is among the best, and he averaged 10.7 free throws per game in his peak season.

He can be said to be the originator of fouls for players in the 21st century!

But he was really fighting. Wang Song looked at Wade and recalled the ball just now. After the first ball was blocked, the opponent picked up the ball on the ground in a state of near imbalance.

It can be said that he completely threw himself in the air.

After personally facing him, Wang Song began to understand how this Heat soul had his meniscus removed before entering the NBA. ··This fighting attitude alone is enough to make many players blush.

Switching offense.

Nash made a shot from outside the three-point line with the help of Wang Song’s cover.

7:3!

If he had not participated in the draft in 1996, if he had been born ten years later, Wang Song would have no doubt that the “Son of the Wind” would have reached a new high in his career.

He adapted to the barbaric style of play in the late 1990s and still developed a unique three-pointer in the last century when three-pointers were not valued.

If it were 15 years later, Wang Song believed that Steve Nash would be a super guard on par with Stephen Curry.

Heat attack.

This round of inside line out Wade got the chance and passed the ball to Odom who cut into the penalty area, but his long arms destroyed the pass.

It must be said that the Heat’s offense was very skillful this time and they had successfully attracted double-teaming.

But they still underestimated Wang Song’s immediate reaction!

After destroying the pass, Madison Square Garden and the fans in front of the TV witnessed a long-lost scene again.

A quarterback long pass initiated by the Knicks center.

It was directly thrown to Nash who ran to the midfield, and Nash followed up with a ground pass to the basket without looking at anyone.

Prince received the pass and finished.

9:3!

The Heat applied for a timeout.
