Chapter 162

After repelling the Magic led by Tracy McGrady, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Miami Heat at home in the next game.

The Miami Heat currently have a record of 19 wins and 26 losses, ranking No.10 in the Eastern Conference.

Just looking at the record and rankings, this Heat team seems to be unable to threaten the current Cavaliers team.

However, the Heat started with an 8-game losing streak, and are now hitting the playoffs as a dark horse.The recent state is also good, winning a wave of three consecutive victories by defeating the Knicks, Nets, and Rockets.

The momentum of the Heat is very difficult to chew. After the start of the losing streak and the adaptation period, this rebuilding Heat has brought a lot of surprises.

Of course, it was the 2003 draft, which was very successful. Wade gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA arena, and played the potential of a natural star. He is currently ranked third in the best rookie.

In addition to Wade's growth, the Heat also acquired the defensive champion Haslem in the summer league, which is very suitable for the Heat's style of play, and there is also a steady mid-range shot, which is simply a treasure.

Moreover, Odom, who was signed with a big contract, has no water, and his all-around attributes make him the pivot of the team, giving this offensive Heat a drive.

In addition, the arrival of Ariston also gave the Heat's bench lineup a good defensive strength, and even when Wade performed poorly, he could still start the game with superb dribbling, which is very eye-catching.

Finally, I forgot that the Heat also has a supernova Butler. After returning from injury, he is even more powerful, supporting the Heat's offensive firepower.

Before the game, the media reporters predicted that the game would be [-]-[-], and no one would be surprised if they won.

Although the Cavaliers sit at home and are in a hot state, the Heat are characterized by such instability. They hit everyone [-]-[-] and have a strong defense. They have the strength to fight against that team.

At 2004:1 p.m. on January 28, 10, the Cleveland Cavaliers sat at the arena at the Quicken Loans Center and officially welcomed the Miami Heat's door-to-door challenge.

After a simple layup and warm-up preparation, the starting five tigers of both sides gathered in the middle circle of the basketball court, and the game began with a scrimmage!

The starting players of the Cavaliers are more stable than rounds, lined up, followed by point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Kedrick Brown, small forward Elke Williams, power forward Carlos Boozer Al, center Zajunas Ilgauskas

After polishing, the Heat also played a regular first lineup, point guard Dwyane Wade, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Udonis Haslem, power forward Lamar Odom , Center Brian Grant.

A crisp whistle sounded, and the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky. Odom and Ilgauskas jumped almost at the same time.

Odom is versatile and has good jumping ability. However, Ilgauskas' height is too outstanding. With a light jump, even if it is a floor flow, he can still easily defeat his opponent and transfer the basketball to James.

The Cavaliers got the ball to attack first, with long legs, dribbling quickly and advancing, speeding up and hitting a quick counterattack.

However, the Heat are a team known for their defense, how could they not respond?

Wade's speed is extremely fast, and he quickly stepped forward to block James' advance. As the first line of defense, James made a cross step and tried to use his speed to pass Wade, but Wade quickly caught up again.

The first line of defense was not broken, and the second line of defense was established again. Jones stepped forward to press James with Wade. The strong mobility made James' idea of ​​fighting the Heat's unstable foothold fall through.

The two defensive champions pressed and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, James' ball protection is still good, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation, so he finally keeps the ball.

Facing the Heat's zone defense and shrinking defense, James can only play more patiently and look for opportunities carefully.

Seeing that there is no chance of singles, he directly lobs the ball to the inside.

The Heat's defense is very strong, but the inside height is not enough. Odom is the tallest. Grant, who plays the center, is only 206cm. He was originally from the power forward position to the center position. The mobility is very strong, but the frame protection is not good. .

In the low position on the left, Ilgauskas caught the ball and directly singled out Grant.

Pushing deep with his back, shaking his shoulders from side to side, regardless of whether Grant, who was defending the top defense, was shaken or not, he immediately stepped on flexible steps, turned around and smeared into the basket, jumped up and easily put the basketball into the basket.

Grant wanted to fight with his body, but he couldn't make any moves behind his back, so he could only watch helplessly except for sending free throws.

There was a clear sound, and the basketball was dropped into the bag!

2 to 0! !

From the very beginning, the Cavaliers aimed at the Heat's sore spots, making the first move and taking the lead!

However, when the Cavaliers were not good at aiming at the Heat's inside frame, the Heat also took the Cavaliers three inches to play.

The baseline ball was sent quickly, the Heat quickly accelerated, and Wade advanced to the frontcourt with lightning speed. Ilgauskas had just passed halftime.

This is five-on-four, Wade did not hesitate, and played a pick-and-roll with Odom. After getting rid of James' defense, facing Boozer's defense, he directly shortened his body and accelerated, killing inside the three-point line. He made a layup, passed the entire defense of the Cavaliers, and passed the ball to Grant under the basket. The latter jumped lightly and directly dunked with both hands.

2 to 2! !

The Heat have no inside height and can only rely on mobility to win the game. Wade's speed plays an excellent chemical role, like a sharp knife, quickly tearing through the Cavaliers' defense, easily scoring points, and tit for tat!

Since both parties can clearly see the details of the opponent, there is nothing to say. It depends on whose execution ability is stronger and more effective.

James made great strides, holding the ball directly in the middle to force Wade.

Wade's breakthrough points are also very strong, but they are regarded as a weaker version of James, but Wade performed even better.

It's just that the style of play of the two is similar, both of which are sudden points. However, Wade focuses on speed, and James focuses on physique.

Relying on his height advantage, James took a crabbed step, and after reaching the free throw line, he directly took a bow and shot an arrow, and made a small throw.

Ride the basketball to the rim without any interference from Wade.

There was a swish sound of wiping the net, and the basketball was steadily sent into the basket.

4 to 2! !

Landing, James turned around and returned to defense without any expression on his face, without any celebration.

On the commentary stage, Barkley also praised James for his increasingly steady performance and general bearing. At the same time, he also analyzed the characteristics of James and Wade, "Many people think that Wade and James have similar styles of play. They are all unstable in shooting and strong in breakthrough points. Wade wins in speed, and James wins in overall.

However, I think that in addition to James' physical talent, he also has the ability to organize and support.Wade is like a sharp knife, winning in powerful scoring. Of course, because of his unparalleled speed, he is called The Flash, and it feels like Wade bullies people with his speed.In fact, his extraordinary skills are also very powerful, coupled with the blessing of speed, it is simply impossible to guard against! "

Kenny Smith nodded, and continued: "Both James and Wade have the qualities to become superstars, and both have their own weapons that cannot be modeled. They are powerful, so I don't need to say more. But if you want to achieve results, you have to See if they have reliable helpers around them.

For now, James' luck is better than Wade's! ! "
