In the opening game, Big Z faced the aging Mourning and rarely won a jump ball.
Andre Miller received the ball and controlled it in the frontcourt. After organizing for a while, he handed the ball to James.
When James was playing in isolation, he had to face Anthony Walker's defense. When he broke through, he did not receive much obstruction, but when he entered the free throw line, he quickly encountered a double attack.
Mourning Sr. defended the basket, and Haslem was assisting in defense. James obviously had no room to continue to break through.
He distributed the ball to one side, and Lin Yu, who faced Wade on the offensive end, received the ball.
There was no space in front of Lin Yu and there was not much time. He did not pass the ball again, but controlled it twice and made a mid-range shot.
Bang, didn't come in.
"In the first attack of the game, LeBron James' breakthrough was blocked by the Heat's multi-layered defense. China Lin was also targeted by Dwyane Wade's one-on-one defense, and missed the mid-range shot against the defense."
Kenny Smith's long commentary, Charles Barkley concluded: "China Lin did not choose to pass the ball, he was looking for shooting touch."
The rebound was grabbed by Mourning Sr., and the Heat counterattacked.
Gary Payton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Wade cut through without the ball, and Lin Yu chased after him.
On the other side, Anthony Walker was also cutting. On both sides of the cut, Gary Payton in the middle cooperated with Haslem to set up a pick-and-roll.
He reached the mid-range, and suddenly a ball was passed to Wade.
Lin Yu chased after him, but Wade caught the ball and directly shot a pull-up jumper. Lin Yu's interference from turning around had no effect.
With a bang, the ball went in!
Amid the huge cheers at the American Airlines Center, Lin Yu waved his hands helplessly.
Back on the offensive end, LeBron James got the ball from the beginning and made a strong and unrivaled breakthrough, but was blocked on the right side by Anthony Walker.
A breakthrough from the left was followed by a mid-range jumper.
With a bang, James struck the iron too.
This time, Haslem didn't even guard him. He grabbed the rebound directly inside and then passed the ball to Wade who was running towards the frontcourt.
As Wade sprinted faster and faster with the ball, the cheers at the American Airlines Center erupted like a tide, filling the entire arena in an instant.
"Dwyane Wade, the Flash's quick counterattack...no one can catch up with him!"
Charles Barkley wanted to say: Except James, because he saw James approaching Wade on the counterattack.
But boom!
The next second, Wade had already scored a dunk, and the cheers reached the top.
"A jaw-dropping one-stop dunk. This is the speed of the Flash. Even China Lin's defense can't do anything about it!"
After falling behind 0:4, the Cavaliers continued to stick to their previous style of play. James' breakthrough attracted the defense and found Rashard Lewis with the ball.
The Heat's defense was torn open, and Rashard Lewis faced an open opportunity, but missed the shot.
With a bang, this time it was Wade who succeeded in grabbing the rebound. He turned around and rushed directly to the frontcourt at a very fast speed.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and pushed forward directly.
With a bang, Lin Yu suddenly fell to the floor.
Beep!
After the crisp whistle sounded, the referee directly awarded Lin Yu a blocking foul.
On the floor of the American Airlines Center, Lin Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, stood up with the help of James, and then devoted himself to the defense of the position.
The Heat reorganized their offense and started a positional battle. Wade finally played a normal singles game. Lin Yu's one-on-one defense had no problem, but Wade found Anthony Walker with a pass.
Anthony Walker on the baseline cut out an excellent opportunity, caught the ball and hit a throw, scoring two points again.
"There was no problem with Lin Yu's defense in this ball, but there was a problem with LeBron's follow-up defense. He seemed to put most of his attention on the assist defense..."
"In the opening game, the Heat were in even better shape. Dwyane Wade scored two goals in a row, and then assisted Anthony Walker to score on an air cut. He made three attacks and all of them hit!"
It was 6:0 when the game started, and the cheers at the American Airlines Center continued for a long time.
During the Cavaliers' offense, LeBron James focused on breaking through, then passed the ball to one side, and it was Lin Yu who received the ball again. Wade was staring at him closely, and he failed to get an open shot.
Against the defense, Lin Yu faked a shot and then passed the ball.
LeBron James, who broke through and scored the ball, did not withdraw, but continued to rush to the basket, and then received Lin Yu's pass.
After strengthening inside, it finally helped the Cavaliers break their scoring drought.
Lin Yu stopped and waited for James to retreat. The two high-fived each other to boost their morale. The score of 6:2 was not particularly bad for the current Cavaliers.
But then, the Heat quickly served the ball from the baseline. After receiving the ball, Wade rushed to the frontcourt within two or three seconds.
After rushing to the frontcourt, he made a breakthrough directly.
Lin Yu's follow-up was a step too late, and Rashard Lewis on the flank had to pounce to flank him.
Wade made a point shot and found Haslem who turned back and went to the basket.
Whoosh!
"Udonis Haslem's throw was successful!"
"It's 8:2. The Heat are in really good shape. The Cavaliers need to pay more attention to their defense."
Mike Brown finally couldn't stand the Cavaliers' performance on the court. He stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Move, we need more movement!"
Then, on the offensive end, James no longer directly received the ball and broke through.
Instead, he made an air cut without the ball, then received a pass from Miller inside, forced a layup against the defense, and scored again. The Cavaliers' score in this game finally rose to 4 points.
But Lin Yu still didn't score, and he only recorded one assist.
On the other hand, Wade already had 4 points and 2 assists, and all the Heat's opening points were related to him.
Faced with a huge disadvantage at the beginning, Lin Yu was a little at a loss.
On the defensive end, he continued to defend with all his strength, but Wade also played a breakthrough pass, a breakthrough, attracting a double attack, and then passed the ball to one side.
Anthony Walker caught the ball and jumped up from beyond the three-point line.
"Anthony Walker took the open three-pointer! Can it go in?"
With a bang, the ball went in!
Fat Tou Tuo pointed his finger in the sky above the arena, celebrating this crucial three-pointer amidst the cheers that completely erupted in the American Airlines Center arena.
"Another assist, another three-pointer, 11:4, the Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade have completely entered manic mode!"
Mike Brown hesitated and did not call a timeout.
The five Cavaliers on the court could only bite the bullet and continue to attack. James' offensive with the ball, one-on-one breakthrough, no double attack, he directly shot a mid-range shot.
The basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced out with a loud bang.
"Didn't score again! The Heat got the opportunity to continue to expand the point difference!"
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box watched the excitement. They could clearly feel that the Cavaliers might collapse at the beginning of this so-called strong showdown.
On the court, when Barkley and Kenny Smith stared at the rebound with wide eyes, it was Wade again, leaping high and grabbing the rebound.
After turning around, he once again broke out at lightning speed and rushed straight to the front, seemingly unstoppable.
Lin Yu chased after him and was about to be completely thrown away, but there was no one in front of Wade.
Two points or another foul, Lin Yu didn't have time to think, he stretched out his hand and pulled Wade.
There was a beep and the referee blew his whistle.
"Oh no! China Lin's off-ball foul, he committed two fouls."
After two fouls, Mike Brown had to replace Lin Yu first. The game seemed to be completely out of the Cavaliers' control, but he still did not call a timeout.
"China Lin fouled the game twice and left the game. The Cavaliers were forced to replace Damian Wilkins in advance. The direction of this game was beyond all of our expectations..."
Lin Yu sat down on the field, his brows furrowed. The direction of this game was indeed a bit surprising to him, and he was caught off guard.
Since the start of the game, Wade has made 2 shots, 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
Lin Yu's score is still at zero. He only has 1 assist and 2 fouls recorded. If he continues to play like this, he will face a completely overwhelmed situation in this game.
