145: The Strongest Enemy Outside the Pistons (4K(2/2)
The key is that Wade's fake moves are indeed very realistic. Even Artest cannot accurately predict Wade's next move.
Wade kept his center of gravity very low, as if he was flying close to the ground.
At this time, the old Miller came up to defend, hoping to force the Heat's No. 3 to stop.
But Wade was still able to switch speed accurately while traveling at high speed. Facing Miller, Wade first paused, then turned around and slid into the basket for a layup.
The basketball passed through O'Neal's fingers, grazed the backboard and fell into the net.
Wade's breakthrough shocked the Pacers fans into cold sweats as soon as they came on.
"He is simply not a human being!" Countless Pacers fans cursed and drooled.
"Wei Wei scored a very beautiful goal as soon as he came up. His condition is much better than when he was a rookie." All the commentators on the scene praised Wade's performance.
Guagua: "Good brother, if you play like this in the rookie game, will you lose?"
Shivering!
Subsequently, Ouyang singled out Haslem in the middle distance, thinking that this would be a breakthrough.
As everyone knows, Haslem's defense today was really active.
Haslem was also frustrated that he was completely used as a backdrop in the rookie game.
Although the most popular scene left by Wayne in the All-Star Game was the shocking 360° ball hitting the basket.
But in Haslem's heart, the most unforgettable scene in the All-Star Game was the moment when he was dunked by Wayne!
So when the All-Stars came back and met the Pacers, Haslem's fighting will was very strong.
After being pushed away by Xiao Ao, he got close to him again and used extremely tough physical confrontation, causing great disturbance to Xiao Ao.
In the end, Ou turned over and missed a jump shot under Haslem's defense.
The Heat counterattacked quickly, but fortunately Artest forced Wade to slow down the loss before he could fully get up to speed, and the game fell into a trap.
Artest's defense was indeed effective. If someone else had defended this ball, Wade would have been able to attack the frame directly.
However, the Heat are not afraid of positional attacks. This time, Fat Shark actively went deep and Wade immediately sent the ball in.
Upon seeing this, O'Neill immediately double-teamed him, but Fat Shark did not insist on playing singles, but passed the ball to Haslem, who was leaked.
Haslem made a mid-range shot, and O'Neal's cover was delayed by half a beat.
Just like that, the basketball hit the net and the Heat led 4-0!
"It seems that the effect of using Foster is not very good." Next to Carlisle, Mike Brown reminded.
"At least Shaq passed the ball." Carlisle looked serious. He really wanted to win against the Heat.
Because right now, apart from the Pistons, the Heat are the biggest obstacle preventing the Pacers from entering the Finals.
This is not only about the regular season rankings, but also a preview of the playoffs.
Whether they can defeat the Heat will directly determine how far the Pacers can go this season and whether they can make a breakthrough.
In the Pacers' second offense, Reggie Miller hit a shot from beyond the three-point line.
Artest rushed in the moment Miller shot, preparing to take the offensive rebound by surprise and show the enthusiasm of the Pacers.
However, Artest had just taken off when he was knocked out of position.
Next to him, Haslem squeezed Artest away in the air and protected the rebound!
The future captain is really tough!
"I'm empty, I'm empty!"
At this time, Artest heard a familiar cry.
Who dares to steal my catchphrase?
I turned around and saw that Wade was empty.
Nonsense, Artest comes in to grab offensive rebounds, can Wade not be missed?
"What the hell are you doing?" Carlisle couldn't help but curse. This defense was outrageous!
Can you be more serious?
After Haslem heard the yell, he handed the ball directly to Wade.
Artest pursued frantically, but was naturally unable to close the distance with Wade.
At this time, the old Miller, who still returned to defense early, went up to block Wade.
But Wade was not stumped and calmly handed the ball to Damon Jones who was positioned outside the right three-point line!
Although Damon averaged 6.4 three-pointers per game this season, he was still able to shoot 43.2% of his three-pointers!
Even 10 years later, this hit rate is still quite high.
Originally, his three-point shooting was not bad, and after coming to the Heat, Wade had the benefit of attracting defenses, which made his three-point shots extremely easy.
With no one on guard, Damon Jones caught the ball and shot, and the basketball hit the net again.
7-0, the Heat stopped the Pacers in just three rounds!
"Timeout, the Miami Heat's offensive power is too powerful. Although the Pacers have not lost to the Pistons this season, a new trouble seems to be standing in front of them again!"
"Fuck!" Reggie Miller couldn't help but yelled when he came off the field, looking not in a good mood.
After consecutively defeating the Pistons this season, Miller thought the Pacers would finally be able to compete for the ring.
But now the team's weak performance against the Heat has disappointed him again.
If you can't beat the Heat, what's the point of beating the Pistons?
Carlisle was also very angry. He felt that the team did not have a correct attitude.
"The opponent is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Do you think that after winning six consecutive victories, you will be invincible? Wake up and think about how we fell last season! We won 61 wins, but we still fell.
At the door of the finals!”
Mike Brown was dumbfounded by the scolding. Carlisle rarely got angry like this unless he couldn't help it.
Tai also lowered his head. It is estimated that this guy will not dare to neglect his duties again.
He realized that Heat No. 3 could really humiliate him!
At this time, Wade was shaking his head at the Pacers bench and jumping off the court.
The way Miami presses the king makes people want to have a fighting match.
"Wei, you come out." At this time, Carlisle made a difficult decision. After hearing these words, the person who was most panicked was undoubtedly Xiao Ao.
Damn it, if I don’t fall in the shark’s mouth, who will?
Ask me to go up against that fat guy again!?
Okay... for the team to win...
"Help Jermaine on the defensive end, and on the offensive end...show your performance." After saying that, Carlisle calmed down and picked up the tactical board.
Chapter completed!
