Chapter 705 Offensive Genius, Defensive Mediocre (4/54)
The Heat and the 76ers played until the last round of the first half. Both sides had their own offensive opportunity.
The 76ers and the Heat have their own ideas.
If James wants to play, let him play. If James doesn't play, he will leave it to Weide. If Wade doesn't want to play, there is Bosh. Even if the Big Three are lazy together, they can still use a tactic to throw the ball to the shooter on the periphery.
They can enter if they can, and they can't even get in.
The defending champions tend to have more offensive points.
The 76ers also have many offensive points, but whenever they come to the buzzer-beating stage, they have only one choice - to Wei Xia! to Wei Xia! or Wei Xia!
There is only one possibility for Wei Xia to not give a buzzer-beating ball, he is not on the court.
Even Wei Xia himself has developed the habit and awareness that he must shoot for buzzer balls. This unwritten rule comes from Wei Xia's first season in Philadelphia.
At that time, Wei Xia and Kobe were talking on the phone, and Kobe gave him advice. Kobe combined his own experience to ensure that Wei Xia must establish his leadership position early and not have a vague three-lateral relationship.
The way to establish leadership is very simple, with unlimited shots, buzzer-bearing dominance, and the team's default takeover player - the last one is imposed by Kobe. He believes that as the leader of the team, since you have to take the most shots, you have to play the key ball. When everyone is undecided and accidentally spends the offensive time to the end, they want to find someone to take the blame, so who else can do it? When can you better reflect your sense of responsibility than that moment?
Regardless of whether Kobe is right or wrong, Wei Xia did what he said and established his leadership position in less than half a season. After years of training, he developed a series of Kobe-like good/bad habits.
"I have to take the buzzer-beating ball" is undoubtedly a good habit. This unwritten rule allows the 76ers to not consider tactics every time they hit the buzzer-beating ball. As long as the ball is sent to Wei Xia's hands, it will be considered successful.
Wei Xia rarely blames him when he is buzzer-beating attacking, unless his opponent is crazy double-teaming.
The Heat took single defense against him, and Wei Xia deliberately controlled the time.
He only left 5 seconds for the Heat.
Wade's one-sided pressure on the ball is very strong. He is the second position like Kobe and Jordan. Except for his lack of height, he is the second position with a winged skin. The strength at both ends of the offense and defense is at the top of the league.
Wei Xia used a frontal attack, holding the ball in his right hand, like a car that started, and suddenly rushed forward and quickly. With his explosive power and first step, 99% of the opponents in the league were beaten from the first step to defend.
Wade's performance was much better than those people. Because he reacted, his fate was worse than those who had been passed by one step.
Wei Xia took advantage of Wade's super reaction and cleverly stopped, pulling the ball back and pulling it back like a butterfly dancing around the garden, which was so beautiful that the Flash, who had been heroic for eleven years, was broken at this moment, and he was shaken away several positions and could no longer interfere with Wei Xia's attack.
Wei Xia took the ball and made a hollow shot, and it was indeed only left for the Heat for 5 seconds.
Like the 76ers, the Heat have assigned the buzzer-beating offensive tasks to the best players on the field.
James was unscrupulous. He acted very restrained tonight. No matter how sarcastic, sarcastic, or suppressed him, he always acted like a kingly act like "I'm too lazy to care about you."
As a king, of course, you must know how to restrain and forbear, and only by not expressing your emotions can you show your true majesty.
However, unilateral tolerance is a manifestation of cowardice in others' eyes.
Before James' last attack could start, Dr. J said: "Compared with Wish, LeBron's biggest problem is that he is not eager enough."
After the famous commented, James broke through the 76ers' perimeter defense with the ball, causing Cousins to foul and made two free throws on the free throw line.
The 76ers had less than one second offensive time, and the ball was sent to Wei Xia. He had no intention of protecting his shooting percentage at all. The extremely long-distance three-pointer that ran across the court was just touching the basket.
End of the first half
66 to 61
The 76ers led by 5 points, and at the most, they led by 16 points. The opening 19-2 on other teams had collapsed, but the Heat caught up.
“Miami is tough and if we want to win, we have to do more in the second half.”
Wei Xia talked and laughed in front of reporters.
Of course, a reporter asked about their start of 19 to 2.
"We can just see Miami's determination from the 19-2 start. Even if they were beaten to that point, they did not collapse. Instead, they slowly caught up through subsequent adjustments. We must learn from them. Only by learning from the strong can we keep improving."
Wei Xia walked into the player channel modestly.
In the 76ers' midnight break, Jay Wright told players not to be proud.
"The Heat did not show their true strength in the first quarter. They chased the score difference back a little seriously in the second quarter."
Wright's preaching of others' ambition to destroy his might aroused everyone's rebelliousness.
Cousins threatened: "Coach, they are very strong. Are we very weak? I don't think they are as powerful as they imagined. The second quarter was just because we had no star players on the court for a long time, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Oh, DeMarcus do you mean?"
Wright was expecting Cousins' response.
"Give me the ball in the second half and see how I beat them!" Cousins said with ambition.
Wei Xia joked at the right time: "Although I don't know what the result is, Demarcus has always been able to be confident, so we have to believe him."
"What does it mean to be a must?" Cousins rolled his eyes.
"I just mean that although you are super unreliable, we will still believe you because one day you will be trampled on your feet - hahaha!"
Hayward took Cousins in public and the 76ers' locker room immediately seemed to pour into the ocean of joy.
In the second half, Cousins made a free throw line and first played a big knife in front of Bosh.
After the ball entered, he shook his eyebrows and seemed to say, shooting is not difficult, why would anyone not make the game?
68 to 61
Bosh would never admit defeat in the shooting, and the next round, he retreated outside the three-point line on the right.
The Heat took the method of clearing one side, only Bosh stood on the right side, and all the other four people were on the left. Cousins bullied him and felt unstable. He didn't go forward to interfere if he was in the three-point line.
Bosh's teammates passed the ball in place, and he aimed and then took action.
Hollow hits the death!
64 to 68
Cousins scored the goal just now and didn't spray trash words. Bosh also maintained the gentleman on the surface, and did not spray trash words. He just whistled, intending to mock him.
Starting from the inside duel, the pace of the second half slowed down.
Wei Xia concentrates on chasing Wade. He has to ensure that this person will not perform in the first stage of the second quarter in the third quarter, and James can only give it to Hayward for the time being.
Although it is not very reassuring, now the inside is the protagonist.
The war initiated by Cousins reminded Bosh of the Dragon King who once dominated the north, and his average double-double rebounding champion in 2K. Now everyone only remembers his eye-catching skills surpassing rebounding protection.
Cousins played with his back from the low post and dribbled the ball and walked to the basket. Bosh's reaction was quick.
However, Cousins' body thickness is better than that.
He leaned Bosh firmly, then took action, and hit the board.
Bosh also wants to play the ball, but the Heat's ball is basically in the hands of the defenders and wings, so it's not his turn to get the ball.
He could only hint his teammates to pass the ball by staying on the outside.
Even though he scored a three-pointer before, Cousins still had great contempt for his outside threat.
Even Wei Xia came to defeat Bosh's three-pointer, but Cousins still looked cold.
At the top of the arc, Bosh threw out the second three-pointer in the second half. The arc was too straight, and Wei Xia thought it was almost certain to win.
"Swish!"
"Sure enough," Wei Xia sighed and shouted at Cousins, "Boge, give Chris a little respect!"
Cousins agreed, but it was unreliable.
He is such a magical person. No matter how powerful the guarantee is, Wei Xia feels that he will mess up the matter in the next second and minute.
Today, Cousins did not consume Wei Xia's trust in him.
The ball must be basically scored, and the defensive problems have also been reminded.
Bosh had no chance on the outside, so he tried to walk in.
James found that he felt good, so he continued to give the ball.
In the position on the left side of the free throw line, Bosh used a three-threat to attack the ball. His dribble did not move forward much, and all the movements were prepared for the subsequent emergency stop jump shot. Cousins saw through his intentions, touched the ball, and made the offensive predictions correctly, but his defensive experience could not keep up. He hit Bosh's wrist and was called a foul.
It can be seen that he worked very hard and the defense problem cannot be solved overnight.
By Weisha's standards against Cousins, he has been working hard to change, and the defense issues may always bother him.
There is nothing to do about this. Many people think that defense is just hard, but this thing also requires insight and wisdom. Cousins puts his intelligence on the offense, and the energy that can be used on the defensive end is extremely limited.
Bosh's free throw gave him a chance, and the second free throw was lost.
Cousins grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it to Wei Xia as soon as possible.
It was his defensive rebound and the first pass after grabbing the rebound that created opportunities for Wei Xia's counterattack.
