The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

When Curry rushed to the Heat's half with speed, Wade and Chalmers stepped forward to block Curry, preventing him from shooting easily from outside the three-point line.

But in this way, the Heat's defense was torn apart.

Danny Green ran all the way to the left foot, and Curry's pass was immediately passed to Green.

Green raised his hand and was about to shoot. At this time, James also returned to the defense, and he immediately blocked Green.

However, Green did not shoot, but hit the ground and sent the basketball out. Butler, who took advantage of the situation, received the basketball, took a step directly, took off in two steps and dunked the basketball with one hand and dunked the basketball into the basket!

"Hey, how's it going, am I serious enough?"

After completing the offense, Butler did not forget to turn his head and said to James.

The Wizards may not be better than defense, but in terms of offense, there is no team in the entire league that can match the Wizards.

The first half of the first quarter was basically James' personal show.

Facing Butler's defense, James can rush into the interior every time, whether it is his own offense or passing assists, it can cause a lot of damage.

The Wizards, on the other hand, rely on the team's extremely high outside shooting percentage.

With the fixed-point jumper skill turned on, the Wizards' outside shooting rate is very good. Curry hit 3 three-pointers, and Green also made 1 three-pointer. Although Butler failed to hit a three-pointer, he made two empty shots. All the baskets were scored, and even Jordan relied on his excellent rebounding ability to grab 2 offensive rebounds in the Heat's backcourt and successfully made a tip-up.

The only player who played more uncomfortable in the Wizards' starting lineup was Jamison.

Chris Bosh is definitely the most underrated of the Heat's Big Three.

Every time the Heat lose, Bosh, who has the worst statistics, will always be blamed, but in fact Bosh's role in the Heat is not weaker than James and Wade.

Compared with James and Wade, who are the main attackers, Bosh is on the court more often as a defender.

Although Bosh doesn't have any honors in defense, such as the best defensive player, the first and second defensive team, and the king of blocks, but as a power forward with strong athletic ability, Bosh has a great ability in assisting defense. Defense has really contributed a lot.

If you have to say it, Bosh is actually quite similar to Jamison in style, but his physical fitness is much stronger than Jamison, and he is much younger.

Faced with Bosh's defense, it was difficult for Jamison to pull out the space for an open shot. After several moves, he caught the ball and forced a shot and missed the basket under Bosh's interference.

After more than half of the first quarter, Jamison was still scoreless.

Jamison is indeed very good, and he is also an All-Star player, but he is not a superstar player after all, and he is already in his thirties. Under such circumstances, Wang Xiao can't ask Jamison for anything.

...

The first half of the first quarter of the game between the two teams has been evenly matched, and neither side can prevent their respective attacks.

However, changes in the situation on the field are often only completed in an instant.

For the Wizards, in order to strengthen the offense, Wang Xiao replaced Danny Green and let Harden play.

After Harden played, he did not further improve the team's offense, but suddenly activated Wade!

Wade first broke through Harden and rushed into the basket to score a dunk, then hit a long-range jumper and hit a three-pointer, then intercepted Harden's pass and assisted James to score a dunk.

In a blink of an eye, he led the team to score 7 points in a row, and instantly widened the point difference that the Wizards were only 4 points behind to double digits.

Faced with the Heat's aggressive offense, Wang Xiao had to call a timeout.

He knew that Wade's outburst was not Harden's fault, it was just that Harden happened to be unlucky.

When Wade broke out just now, even if Harden hadn't been replaced by Green, he couldn't have prevented it.

The current Harden is not the Harden who played the Rockets in the future and is unwilling to defend. He is also very active in defense when he is on the court.

To be honest, if you only talk about one-on-one defense, Harden is actually not much weaker than Danny Green. Of course, Green's strength is not the ability of single defense, but the awareness and judgment of assisting defense.

Now is not the time to fret over whose defense is better.

Although it is only the first quarter of the game, it is definitely not a good thing to fall behind in the away game.

Especially when the opponent is the Big Three of the Heat, if you are a little careless, the double-digit score may turn into a huge gap of 20 or even 30 points in a blink of an eye.

"The score must be chased back!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao turned to look at Paul George.

"Paul, you go on and replace Caron."

Looking at George, Wang Xiao said again: "I won't give you any tasks and goals. What you have to do on the field is very simple, try to show your best state."

George was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately.

"Good coach."

Compared with the Heat, what are the advantages of the Wizards?

Wang Xiao knew very well that that was the depth of the lineup.

Although the Heat have formed the Big Three, the high salaries of the Big Three also make the Heat's salary space quite tight.

Apart from the Big Three, the Heat's most expensive player is Mike Miller, who was signed with a mid-level contract in the free market in the summer.

Miller, who left the Wizards, finally chose the Heat. The reason is very simple. The Heat are currently the players with the highest probability of winning the league. Miller, who is already 30 years old, also wants to win some hard honors, such as the championship. trophy.

Except for the Big Three and Miller, there is no player in the Heat lineup with an annual salary of more than 4 million.

Haslem 3.5 million, Joel Anthony 3.3 million, Big Z 1.35 million...

Although the high contract price does not necessarily mean that the strength must be outstanding, but the contract with high quality and low price is not so easy to find.

So currently, among the Heat, apart from the Big Three, the highest scorer is Chalmers with 6.4 points.

With a mid-level contract of 5 million, Mike Miller, who has the fourth highest salary in the Heat, has seriously declined this season, averaging only about 10 points per game.

Although the Big Three teamed up to contribute close to 70 points per game for the Heat, the low scoring efficiency of role players is still an unavoidable problem for the Heat.

What Wang Xiao has to do now is to let the Wizards continue to maintain an extremely fast offensive rhythm, further consuming the physical energy of the Big Three,

Butler, as the main defense player against James, consumes quite a lot of energy, so George is required to go on the field ahead of time, but Wang Xiao is not sure how George will perform against James.

In the usual daily training and games, George performed very well. The defensive end is not inferior to Danny Green. Counting the offensive ability, his role on the field is not much worse than Butler.

But James is not an ordinary role after all. Butler, who has rich confrontation experience, is no match. Or can George, a first-year rookie, do better?
