Chapter 136 Kidd, the most terrifying side is unsealed!
May 8, Miami.
The night is still light.
The road leading to the American Airlines Center is packed with people and busy traffic.
Outside the arena, fans lined up in pairs and groups in an orderly manner, checking in to enter the arena, with relaxed expressions on their faces.
The advantage lies with the Heat, so how can the home team lose?
In the arena, the lights are bright and the seats are packed. Most of the fans are watching the game seriously, while the female fans prevent their lovers from watching the game inappropriately.
On the court, the enthusiastic cheerleader girls are showing off their graceful bodies to the fans present.
In terms of quality and style, the girls from the Heat are definitely no worse than the girls from the Lakers.
This great contribution must be attributed to Larry, who came from the Lakers.
During the warm-up, Payton and Kidd had a lively chat. The two have known each other since childhood.
O'Neal also went over to join in the fun. He and Kidd were still very familiar with each other. When they were in the Lakers, there were rumors that Kobe would be traded for Kidd, and they were in the same Pacific Division. The competition between the Suns and the Lakers was not small.
In addition, Kidd went to the Eastern Conference, took the Nets to the Finals, and was stepped on by the Lakers to become a dynasty. It would be weird if he was not familiar with it.
Su Bei warmed up quietly, and Wade also couldn't find anyone to chat with for a few cents.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the arena.
Nets' top five, Nenad Krstic, Jason Collins, Richard Jefferson, Carter, Kidd.
Heat team 5, O'Neal, Walker, Haslem, Wade, Jason Williams.
Su Bei performed well in the last round, but he is still a rookie after all and is not a good choice against the four major shooting guards.
Posey's performance was not outstanding. After all, the Pacers did not put much pressure on the Heat in the first round, and they did not need the championship Jigsaw to stand up and break the game for the team.
Role players are just bricks that need to be moved.
You will remember it when you use it, but when you don’t use it, it will be left in a corner to gather dust.
This game was broadcast directly by TNT radio and was narrated by Mike Breen and Marv Albert.
"During the regular season, the Nets won all 4 games against the Heat. It seems that the Nets have the strength to challenge the Heat.
In fact, if you just look at the lineup comparison between the two sides, the Nets are still significantly behind.
The Nets have strengthened their strength on the outside, while the Heat have balanced their strength on the inside and outside. It is obvious that one team is a playoff-level team and the other is a championship-level team.
Now if the Nets want to defeat the Heat, it depends on whether the perimeter trident can defeat the Heat's perimeter first..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
The whistle sounded, the basketball flew into the sky, and Nenad Kostic defeated O'Neal and scored the first offense for the Nets.
"Kidd controls the ball and slowly dribbles the ball to the frontcourt. Kidd, who has just turned 33, has inevitably declined this season. He is now averaging 13 points, assists and 8 rebounds per game, which is almost a low version of a triple-double performance.
, how will he do against Jason Williams?
coming!
After observing it, Kidd played Jason Williams in a post-up, stepped into a comfortable position step by step, knocked Jason Williams' defensive center of gravity, turned around to confront, and pulled the ball for a layup..."
Swish——!
2 to 0!!
Jason Williams is totally helpless.
Jason Kidd is nicknamed "Bad Offensive". It can be seen that his offense is not his strong point. However, like Payton, he is very good at using his body to play, including Billups.
When Jason Williams, who is 1.85 meters tall, meets Kidd, who is 1.93 meters tall, he will suffer not only in height, but also in physical confrontation, as well as skills and experience...
In this way, Jason Williams is really nothing in front of Kidd. His only advantage is that he is younger than Kidd.
Well, isn’t youth a negative factor in the playoffs?
What about white chocolate?
Outside the court, Laili frowned.
It makes no sense, Payton is too old, and it's just a gift when he goes up, it's just about how long he can last.
Wade plays the No. 1 position, and his physical talent is not afraid of Kidd. However, Wade now only uses his physical talent to play, and his organizational skills are useless. Jason Williams is at least top-notch in dribbling.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he can't beat Kidd or the point guard. He has to admit that the key to the Heat's success depends on O'Neal's performance?
"On the court, the Heat's offensive possession.
Jason Williams controls the ball and is followed by Kidd, who is neither close nor far away. It is difficult for him to pass the basketball to the inside. O'Neal is also being defended in front. How to break the current situation?
Wade came over, played an outside screen with Jason Williams, and finally got rid of Kidd's defense. Jason Williams hoisted the basketball inside.
O'Neal caught the ball and Jason Collins came up to meet him. Kidd and Carter were like closing their pockets, surrounding O'Neal..."
O'Neal and Wade were two bottles of poison. The Nets chose to drink the shark's bottle and Wade's. With his mid-range shot, he is really not afraid of it.
The basketball was passed out again, Jason Williams caught the ball, and Kidd immediately defended it.
boom--!
"The basketball was in Wade's hands, Carter came back, and Jefferson left Haslem open and came to help defend...
The Nets' offense against Wade and O'Neal was well arranged, allowing outside shots and blocking the penalty area to attack the basket. It seems that the Nets do not regard the Heat's outside strength as viable.
Yes, they are all about outside play, and the Nets are really not afraid to compete with any opponent.
Wade rushed to the free throw line, made a pull-up two-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Wade's two-point shot missed.
Krstic and Jason Cozens, two "Car forwards, blocked their respective players, Kidd and Carter, and Jefferson and the other three rushed out of the penalty area to grab rebounds.
No wonder the Nets' Trident averages more than 6 rebounds per game, which is very scary.
"Kidd grabbed the rebound and did not play slowly. Jefferson and Carter both rushed forward. The Nets' twin towers were also speeding up. It seemed that every move was consuming O'Neal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter what, O'Neal is the biggest threat to the Nets.
The Heat have good mobility and enter positional warfare."
In the frontcourt, Kidd continued to back up Jason Williams, and Haslem came over to help defend. Just as he took the second step, Kidd pushed with both hands as if he anticipated Haslem's move.
Peng——!
The basketball bounced up after hitting the floor and fell into the hands of Jefferson who cut through the paint.
"Kidd's exquisite pass, Jefferson cut, caught the ball, dribbled into the penalty area, faced O'Neal's protection of the basket, and charged into the basket..."
Snapped--!
O'Neal would never let any opponent attack the basket and destroy Jefferson's drive to the basket, even if it resulted in a foul.
The whistle sounded and the referee signaled Jefferson to take two free throws.
Swish—!
Two free throws.
4 to 0!!
The Nets' offense and defense are very standardized. It has to be said that Kidd has very strong control over the team and is also very clear in his targeting of the Heat.
In the next game, O'Neal experienced something more painful than free throws.
It is difficult for him to catch the basketball. As soon as he catches the ball, he immediately engages in endless flanking tactics.
O'Neal has no room to take action.
Even if the pass comes out, can Wade shoot?
cannot!
Can Haslem shoot?
also can not!
Even if he can shoot the ball, his efficiency won't be that high.
Jason Williams can shoot, but Kidd doesn't believe that the opponent's shooting can kill the game.
Wade and Jason Williams are not as ruthless as Kobe and Fisher. They dare to shoot and score. The Heat's perimeter has been calculated.
Seven minutes later, O'Neal miraculously did not take a single shot, but suffered two fouls and three turnovers. He was no longer invisible, but completely lost his virginity.
However, what others call "basically non-offensive", he was in extremely good shape in the first quarter. Whether it was a three-point shot, a 2-point post-up, or a breakthrough layup, he was almost always accurate.
"Kidd is on drugs tonight, Jason Williams is doomed by his white chocolate, and even Jesus can't save him.
Laili chose Jason Williams to face Kidd, which was a wrong move.
The key is that as Kidd's offense is completed, his most terrifying side is unlocked."
Don't ask, asking means organizing an attack.
Kidd made 4 of 4 shots and 1 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 9 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. His scoring was mediocre, but the Nets' offense was full of firepower.
Jefferson made 5 of 6 shots and Kostic made 4 of 5 shots.
The only one who was not efficient was Carter, who only made 3 of 7 shots. That was because Wade was guarding him. At the same time, Wade was also guarded by Carter and shot 2 of 5. He made 8 shots by attacking the basket and causing fouls.
6 hits, only 10 points.
After the first quarter, the score was blown, and the team that was beaten was the Heat.
O'Neal's statistics were even zero, with no points or rebounds.
After just one quarter of the game, the entire arena was silenced.
The fans and audience were dumbfounded.
That's it, the Heat still want to win the championship. If they can't find a way to activate O'Neal, the Heat may not even be able to get past the Nets.
