The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The first quarter of the game between the Washington Wizards and the Miami Heat ended with the Heat occupying a double-digit scoring advantage.

Despite the points lead, no one expected the game to end so easily.

The strength of the Wizards lies not only in the starting strong offense, but also in the depth of the bench.

Substitute players are very important in every team. After all, no matter how strong the main players are, they will feel tired. A game lasts 48 minutes. Even James Wade rarely plays 40 minutes in a single game. minutes or more.

Especially in the contest with the Wizards, the offensive rhythm of the two teams is very fast, which accelerates the consumption of physical energy.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat replaced most of the main players, and only Wade was on the field with four substitute players.

The Wizards also replaced Curry, George, Danny Green, Jamison and Jordan.

They were replaced by Beverly, Harden, Butler, Whiteside and McGee.

The offensive ability of the Wizards' lineup is not very strong, mainly relying on Harden to drive the offensive rhythm, but when it comes to the height of the inside line, it is amazing.

Both McGee and Whiteside are 2.13 meters tall, and both are spring players with excellent athletic ability.

In front of these two people, only the 2.03 meter Haslem and the 2.06 meter Joel Anthony are completely unable to protect the rebounds.

In less than a few minutes of the second quarter, Harden continued to rely on pick-and-rolls to rush into the interior and cause damage. When Wade tried to fight back, he saw two 2.13-meter big men in the Wizards interior. Almost living on the inside and refusing to come out, it was a headache for a while.

If it was Wade when he was young, he might rush in and make a foul without even thinking about holding the basketball.

But the 28-year-old Wade is obviously much calmer when playing on the court.

Wade tried to organize tactics to attack, but when James Jones and Carlos Arroyo were on the outside and Haslem and Joel Anthony were on the inside, the Heat's offense could almost be said to rely on Wade himself.

Wade had to increase the number of times he hit the basket after two consecutive attempts to pull up a jumper from the outside and missed the basket.

He hugged the basketball again and again as if he was carrying a dynamite bag and rushed into the inside line, but his efficiency was obviously worse than Harden's. It's not that Harden is stronger than Wade now, but Whiteside and Wade. The two big men, McGee, are really difficult to deal with standing on the inside.

Within a few minutes, the double-digit point difference was chased by the Wizards to single digits.

The situation between Spoelstra was not good, and he immediately called a timeout, replacing Wade and replacing James and Bosh.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao replaced Whiteside and replaced him with Danny Green. Danny Green served as the small forward to defend James, and put Butler at the power forward position.

Green also can't defend against James, and his defensive efficiency is even two points worse than George. After all, Green is not as good as George in terms of height and weight, let alone compared with James, but as long as he can further consume James' physical energy, it is valuable .

As the game progressed, the main players of both sides began to return to the court one after another.

The Wizards are still running and bombing, quickly switching between offense and defense, forcing the opponent to move faster.

On the Heat's side, it seems that they can't hold on anymore.

When Wang Xiao rotated again, replacing Curry, George, Jamison and others, and continued running back and forth across the court, Wang Xiao clearly felt that the Heat were a little out of tune.

In order to ensure the offensive rhythm, the three of James Wade and Bosh did not take much rest in the first quarter, and they played again immediately after a short rest in the second quarter. When their physical fitness has not fully recovered, they continued to play fast-paced games. Everyone will feel tired. After all, the Heat are not like the Wizards. There are many players who can be rotated.

Of course, this situation is just a sign. The physical fitness of James and others is not so bad that they will collapse in the second quarter of the game. When the winner is really determined, it is the second half of the third quarter to the fourth quarter.

After the second quarter, the score of the two sides was 67:58. The Wizards successfully recovered the double-digit point difference in the first quarter to single digits, but it was only 9 points. Let the point difference return to the double-digit gap.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, Wang Xiao once again emphasized the problem of offensive rhythm on the bench.

"In the second half, everyone continued to maintain the same offensive rhythm as in the first half, running up, so that the opponent had to follow our rhythm! The only thing they could really do was those three guys, who dragged them down. The winner of the game is us!"

While talking, Wang Xiao patted George on the shoulder.

"George, you did a great job in the first half, come on, give me a good lesson on that guy!"

George's defense against James in the first half was not particularly good. James scored 21 points in the first half under the defense of Butler and George, shooting 52%.

But although the offensive efficiency is extremely high, even James will inevitably need to spend more physical energy and energy to attack under the same defense as George Nougat.

The Heat scored 67 points in the first half and took nearly 60 shots. The attack frequency far exceeded previous games. James took 16 shots in the first half, including several free throws that did not count shots.

Wang Xiao didn't believe that under such a fast-paced offense, James would not be tired.

Once James' physical fitness declines and his lethality weakens, it's time for the Wizards to counterattack!

...

The 15-minute break in midfield was fleeting, and soon the two sides re-entered the field to fight in the third quarter.

As soon as the game started, Wang Xiao noticed that James did not start at the beginning of the third quarter.

Apparently Spoelstra also found that James consumed too much in the first half.

Unlike Wade, James has been single-playing George all the time, unknowingly consuming too much energy.

Spoelstra, who discovered this problem, did not let James play at the beginning of the third quarter, apparently hoping to give the opponent more rest time.

But how could Wang Xiao give him this chance?

Standing on the sidelines, Wang Xiao shouted to the field, "Stephen! Step up your attack! Break through their defense!"

Hearing Wang Xiao's command, Curry immediately understood, and began to break through frequently, attacking the Heat inside.

Curry's breakthrough ability is absolutely top-notch among point guards. With the pick-and-roll, Chalmers can't defend at all, and when he gets to the basket, facing the opponent's inside player's supplementary defense, Curry can often take advantage of the time difference Score the ball.

When it came time for the Heat to attack, Wade, who was holding the ball, was surprised to find that the Wizards had double-teamed him, and directly emptied Mike Miller at the small forward position!
