Wade, one of the top active players in the league, an absolute superstar, one of the representatives of the "03 Super Platinum Generation", a very terrible scoring machine, once the offensive mode is started, the opponent is almost impossible to defend, and the scoring efficiency is high at the last moment.
Like many superstars, he has a big heart and can always take over the game at critical moments!
As the Heat's second scoring point, with O'Neal being restrained, Stan Van Gundy naturally gave him the right to fire freely.
Wade has scored 16 points so far. Facing Iguodala's defense, he slowly moved to the right side of the court.
"Wade's mid-range shooting ability is average. 80% of it is concentrated on the left side of the court, while the right side is mainly for breakthroughs." Iguodala looked at Wade's movements and thought of the information the coach showed him before today's game.
.
"He's going to break through." Iguodala said to himself, so he took a small step back while moving.
Wade didn't notice this. He was still dribbling the ball slowly and didn't look like he was about to break through. But Iguodala didn't dare to relax at all. He stared at Wade's strong shoulders, as if
I want to imprint this white jersey in my pupils.
Suddenly Wade moved. He lowered his waist and accelerated to the extreme in an instant. Iguodala quickly blocked the block laterally, but was still a step too slow. Wade passed him by half a body, and he could only eat dust behind him.
.
Because the Heat had no intention of passing the ball to O'Neal, Howard did not go around. He saw Wade getting to the basket, so naturally he couldn't let him act wildly and get up to block the shot. Facing Howard's block, Wade turned his original look like
The right hand used for the layup was retracted, dodged, and then used the backhand lever on the left side of the basket for the layup.
It was too late, but it was fast then. From Wade dribbling from the outside to scoring a layup, it only took 2 seconds. The audience took a breath, but when they came back, they could only watch it in slow motion.
Although Wade's goal was very neat, no one on the Magic team paid attention to it. The Magic could score a more entertaining goal than this. But no one thought that this was just the beginning of Wade's crazy performance.
Howard sent a baseline ball. When Nash saw that the Heat were not retreating quickly, he immediately made a long pass to Josh who was in the half court. After receiving the ball, Josh also made a long pass and sent it directly to Hill under the Heat basket.
But as we often say, you tend to make mistakes quickly. As soon as Josh passed the ball, Wade suddenly rushed to the ball, hugged the ball directly, and then counterattacked.
At this time, the Magic only had Nash and Howard in the backcourt.
Facing Nash, Wade didn't even use human contact. He passed by in disguise, and then faced off with Howard again.
Howard knew very well that if he was a small player and he jumped on him, he would be dead, so he pushed back step by step to prepare to defend the basket, and then see if any of his brothers could come back and respond in time.
But it's a pity that Wade was too fast, and the other Magic players rushed too hard just now, so they couldn't get back in time.
Wade saw Howard standing firmly under the basket and knew that he would not get any favors if he rushed in, so when he got to the free throw line, he made a small floater and scored again. The gap between the two teams became 6 points again.
When Edison saw that he had made a mistake, he jumped up in anger on the sidelines and yelled at Josh. But he had no intention of timeout. He was still ahead by 6 points, so it was not time to call a timeout yet.
Nash didn't dare to pass the long pass this time. He pushed forward steadily past half-court, and then stretched out his hand. Josh quickly came over to cover him. After the pick-and-roll, Nash also slipped along the paint line toward the baseline, and the Heat
Haslem came over to guard him. Nash dumped Haslem in two steps and jumped up to shoot, but as soon as the ball was released, he felt something was wrong.
At some point, Wade came over from behind him, and he shot the ball straight out of the air like a fairy. Eddie Jones got it again. After covering Nash, Wade didn't pause at all.
It's like running straight to the Magic's half court...
As soon as Wade passed half court, Jones passed the ball to him. At this time, only one Josh in the Magic half rushed back, and it was another one-on-one.
Wade lowered his head and charged directly into the Magic's three-second zone, still trying to get to the basket. This time, Josh absorbed Howard's lesson last time and stopped guarding the basket. Instead, he came out to defend.
But Wade was so fast and nimble. He took three steps and changed direction in a snake shape, slipping under Josh's armpit. But Josh didn't give up and turned around to jump to block the shot. At this time, Wade also jumped to block the shot.
Get up for a layup.
There was a "bump", and the two people collided in the air. After all, Wade was relatively small and light, so he was knocked away. But who is Wade? As I said before, Wade has been crawling around on the concrete floor in Chicago all year round.
Wade has developed the ability to shoot from various positions in the air. This time too, Wade turned sideways and threw the ball with his left hand. The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.
The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, "2 points are valid, and one penalty kick is added."
Wade was lying on the ground at this time, looking at his left hand blankly, with an expression that seemed to say, "See, my left hand can also take care of you."
The movements and expressions must be as exaggerated as possible, so NBA superstars must not only play well, but also act well.
Wade made a steady free throw. With 2 minutes left in the game, the Heat were only 3 points behind.
Edison had nothing to hesitate now and quickly called a timeout.
"Don't think too much about the problem just now. We must score in this attack. Let's see, Nash is still organizing it, but..."
After returning to the court, Nash and Josh picked and rolled and passed the ball back to Josh immediately. However, O'Neal filled Haslem's position in time. Josh had no chance to attack directly. Instead, he took the ball and looked for it in the high post.
Opportunity. There was no other way. Nash, who had already reached the bottom line, had no choice but to come back and reorganize.
Just when everyone thought the attack failed, Josh passed the ball to Nash and blocked Damon Jones sideways. Nash was left open and unguarded, and he scored 2 points.
"I knew this kid was actually very smart, not a guy with a big head and muscles." Edison felt very proud as he watched Josh execute his tactics perfectly.
But immediately the Heat's Wade gave the Magic a blow in the head again.
Although Wade's personal power is amazing, Stan Van Gundy still designed a pick-and-roll screen for him.
Haslem reached the top of the three-point arc and took a crab step. He stepped sideways and blocked Iguodala. Wade took advantage of Josh not coming to cover up and shot a three-pointer. His shot was too fast this time.
, just like the sudden emergence of the Thunder. Wade's three-point shooting ability is average. The highest three-point shooting percentage in the 2008-09 season was only 31.7%, which was also lower than the league average.
But Wade has another characteristic. The closer to the end of the game, the more critical the moment, his hands become steadier and his shooting percentage doubles. And this is not the end, if the defensive player is guarding his face at this time
, his shooting percentage can actually rise to another level. He has a particularly big heart and is worthy of being a game-terminator type player.
At this time, Edison had realized that he had made a miscalculation. He was only thinking about Shaquille O'Neal. Although he also knew that Wade was very powerful, he still didn't pay enough attention to it.
But now it's too late to change. First: Wade's form has already been played. For a player of his level, once his touch is up, defensive players are of little use, and as I just said, the better you are.
If you guard against him more accurately, you can only hope that their touch will disappear. Second: The Heat's main lineup is very reasonable now. The two Joneses on the outside are very accurate in three-pointers, so outside players must not be allowed to double-team Wade, and inside players
The Heat also have O'Neal, who also needs to be double-teamed...
But Edison still quickly called a timeout. Edison is a player who reacts quickly on the spot. He knows that in this situation, he can't really wait until the Heat tie the game before calling a timeout. It will be over by then, and Wade will really be unstoppable.
The score was only 2 points away, and the entire audience stood up. The fans near the Heat coaching bench even yelled and made as much noise as possible in an attempt to interfere with Stan Van Gundy's tactics.
"We can't let Wade play like this. Dwight has to defend O'Neal, so Josh, you have to pay attention to help Iguodala block Wade. But the most important thing now is that our offense must be successful, as follows
In an attack, Nash and you feinted to attract attention and then passed to Grant, and then it was up to Hill to attack."
Nash and Hill looked at each other, saw trust in each other's eyes, and then nodded.
The Magic once again carried out a series of dazzling pick-and-roll cooperation, and Hill flexibly got rid of Eddie Jones who was defending him. Nash passed the ball to him as soon as he got rid of it. Hill was very calm.
I know that at this time, I must hit the target, and if I want the hit rate, I must go inward. Even if I can't score, I can still cause a foul.
This is what we often call a clear mind. Many players don’t know this. They think they feel good, just like the dribbling rhythm we mentioned before is particularly comfortable and they shoot. But no matter how good your rhythm is, it is not 100% possible.
The key players will be able to put an end to this impulse and never shoot easily at the last moment.
Hill slid down the baseline and went straight for a layup, but there was another beast under the Heat's basket, Shaquille O'Neal.
O'Neal and Hill's bodies came into contact, knocking off Hill's layup. Hill immediately raised his hands after landing, indicating that O'Neal had committed a foul. But there is an unspoken rule in the NBA, called the star whistle, and O'Neal's qualifications are natural
Qualified for this privilege, Hill, who has not played much in three seasons, is no longer a star in the eyes of the referees.
But the Magic players saw clearly that O'Neal touched Hill's arm, so Howard and Josh raised their hands and began to put pressure on the referee.
At this time, Wade picked up the ball, ignored the commotion behind him, and rushed directly towards the Magic half court. His speed was very fast, and his body seemed to be stretched, and his whole body was covered with sweat.
, the dark skin glowed under the light, as fast and flexible as a mink.
Nash. Only Nash on the Magic side could react. He tried his best to catch up, but Wade was too fast. The gap between Nash and him widened, and the two teams were tied.
Edison looked at the scene on the court and slapped his forehead several times, thinking, "You are still too young to argue with the referee at this time instead of thinking about defense."
After being tied due to a controversial ball, the mentality of the Magic players changed. Although Edison called a timeout and put Marion, Hill, and Nash on the court with three experienced players, the situation still could not be stabilized.
108-112, the Magic were overturned in the last quarter and lost at home.
At the post-game press conference, many people asked about O'Neal's controversial penalty at the end.
Edison didn't dwell too much on this issue, because he knew that you couldn't explain this thing clearly, and besides, it was useless now, and the game was over. If he spoke too harshly, he would be punished by the league, and if he was fined, then
This is a complete tragedy, and the stingy team should treat themselves to tea again.
