The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

James' speed is very fast, but compared to his speed, his power after starting is more terrifying.

In today's league, there are very few players who can withstand James' breakthrough. Leonard can't, George can't, even the stronger Green can't.

When faced with a breakthrough like James, what Leonard can do is to stick close to James, squeeze him to the weak side a little bit, and at the same time use his longer wingspan advantage to constantly interfere with James' dribbling and interrupt his Rhythm.

Although this defensive method cannot prevent James from rushing into the inside to score, it can consume his physical strength to the maximum, because when James rushes into the inside, he will not only face Leonard alone, but may also face him. Against the inside players who come up on defense.

It was the beginning of the game at this time. James was physically fit and there was no problem, so he directly carried Leonard to the basket and scored a layup.

3:2.

The ball returned to the Wizards, and the Wizards still hit Thompson. After using the running position to open up a little gap, Thompson shot from around the free throw line and hit two points.

The score became 5:2.

James used Bosh's pick-and-roll to cut off Leonard's defense, and at the same time used his speed to pass Whiteside, who was defending, and rushed into the paint to score dunks.

5:4.

On the Wizards' side, Curry finally found a chance to make a strong three-pointer while Wade was not settled.

8:4.

James picked and rolled back to Bosh, who used his height advantage to hit a mid-range jumper.

8:6.

...

The offensive efficiency of the two teams was very high at the beginning, and the score was also growing steadily and rhythmically.

Wang Xiao was not in a hurry. Although the situation was stalemate, the rhythms of the two teams on the field were completely different.

One side relies entirely on James to maintain the offensive rhythm, while the other side is multi-point blooming. Every player can use tactics to score easily.

At the beginning, the gap did not appear, but as the game progressed, the physical consumption of the players increased, and the gap would appear.

Even if James is iron, he can't stand this.

The Heat's Spoelstra obviously noticed this too, so when the game was about 8 minutes into the game, taking advantage of a dead ball, he replaced James and took a break, allowing Wade and Bosh to continue. Stand on the field.

But there is one thing to say, although Wade and Bosh are also very strong, they are not as good as James, especially Wade, when he was still at his peak a few years ago, he might still be able to compete with James. Now, Wade is suffering from knee injuries and has lost the speed he relied on for survival. It is difficult to maintain an efficient offensive efficiency when facing Thompson, who is taller and stronger than him. .

Of course, this is not to say that Wade is completely incapable. Even at this stage, Wade can still contribute 20+ points per game stably to the team, but that's all he can do.

While Wade devotes a lot of energy to defending Curry, he also has to score under Thompson's defense. The pressure is far greater than that of Thompson who often faces Chalmers' defense.

Even so, Wade can achieve the same offensive efficiency as Thompson.

But the problem is that the Wizards are not Thompson's team alone, and he can only be counted as the third scoring point in the team.

James can use two fists to fight four hands, but the Flash, who has lost the invincible speed of the year, can no longer do it.

In the few minutes after James was off the court, the offensive rhythm of the Wizards immediately overwhelmed the Heat. Curry, George, Thompson and others scored consecutively, while the Heat could only rely on Wade and Bosh's pick-and-roll tactics to win. Mid-range shooting is much less efficient.

In less than two minutes, Spoelstra had to replace James, because if this continues, the point difference will expand to more than double digits!

James rested for less than two minutes before appearing again.

At the same time, Wang Xiao also made substitution adjustments.

...

Whiteside looked at Green, who was standing on the edge of the technical table, eager to try, and then at the assistant coach who waved to him to signal that he was replaced, a little unhappy.

He performed very well in this game. Not only did he protect the backcourt rebounds well, but he also grabbed 2 offensive rebounds, and even gave the opponent a super hot pot when James hit the basket.

But he was playing excitedly, but was replaced.

Green's debut instantly turned the Wizards' lineup into a dead five. Wang Xiao is about to start speeding up!

On the court, with Green's debut, the Wizards' offensive speed suddenly increased.

Including Curry Thompson and others, after the offensive and defensive transition, they all ran straight to the front court without looking back.

After a season of familiarity, they have adapted to Green's playing style. After grabbing a rebound, the first-year rookie who played as a guest center is capable of dribbling across the half court, and he can even find a gap in the process. Teammate, pass the ball to form an assist.

When Green stood at the top arc of the three-point line after dribbling the ball, the other four players of the Wizards had already stood in their respective positions. There was no need to prepare, and the tactical movement had already begun!

The ultra-fast offensive rhythm caught the Heat off guard, even though they had seen the lethality of the Wizards' five dead players more than once in the regular season, and the five Heat players on the court at this time were also the most dynamic in the team, but Still a bit out of pace.

"Green passed the ball to Thompson, who caught the ball and pretended to shoot to attract the defense, and then continued to pass the ball to Curry. Wade's defense in front of Curry was half empty! Curry shot! Three points! Hit— —!”

Amidst the loud cheers of the audience, Curry made a steady three-pointer.

...

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were 34:26, with the Wizards leading by 8 points.

"Great job guys, keep playing steadily in the second quarter and keep the situation under control."

During the timeout, Wang Xiao strongly praised the performance of the players, and at the same time said to Leonard: "Kawhi, your defense against James was very good in the first quarter. Green tops it off, and then you'll need you to deal with James."

...

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Wizards took the lead in changing teams. Thompson and Leonard were replaced for a rest, and Jamison and Whiteside were replaced.

The Wizards' lineup changed accordingly, almost a big change.

Curry still served as point guard, George was promoted directly from power forward to shooting guard, Green served as small forward, Jamison served as power forward, and Whiteside continued to serve as center.

This lineup is obviously not comparable to the previous lineup in terms of speed and offensive firepower, but it is much stronger in height. Facing the Heat, a team that is not outstanding in interior height, it also has certain advantages.

The current Wang Xiao basically made it clear that I just want to use the depth of the lineup to kill you!
