Chapter 737 The third garbage time
Wei Xia and James were passionately jumping up the fans' enthusiasm, and their styles were completely different.
James has an unparalleled body in the world, and he only uses two moves for each attack.
Get points by force or get out of the way.
Because Wei Xia will let James go from one step to two steps, if the touch feels good and pull it out directly, the interference that Wei Xia's defense can generate is limited.
As for breaking through, James, who can shoot from the left and right, based on the current rules and the emptyness of the basket, whether he can enter depends on his mood.
Wei Xia showed all his characteristics.
Diverse offenses do not rely on physical fitness, comprehensive skills, strong creativity, and impeccable ornamentality and beauty.
"Every attack of wish does not repeat, he seems to know a million offensive skills."
"Because he scores differently every time, we naturally feel expectant when we see him grab the ball."
The performance of Wei Xia and James defines the second quarter.
This is a game between the two of them. Until the end of the first half, neither the Sixers nor the Heat had much presence, and the ball was in the hands of the two superstars.
All-power Zhan's offense is very stable, but Wei Xia, as the player with the strongest offensive and defensive ability in individuals, still gained the upper hand in this 1v1 battle.
In the second quarter, Wei Xia scored 22 points and 4 rebounds, and James scored 17 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter.
The hit rate is 52% to 48%.
Wei Xia's offense is more stable, and he has used many offensive skills, unlike James' second move.
Since James did not defeat Wei Xia in this PK, the 76ers who were originally led by double digits, expanded their lead to 17 points after halftime.
"What do you think of wish's performance in the first half?"
James was pushed in front of him by the microphone. He didn't want to praise Wei Xia too much, but Wei Xia faced the Heat's highest intensity defense, with 38 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, and his shooting percentage was close to 55%.
As an opponent and as a person who hates Wei Xia, he couldn't help but praise the data after reading this data.
"As you can see, he is the greatest offensive player in our generation." James spent his best efforts to praise him. "I even think that wish is no longer below Kobe's peak."
No joke, the emperor gave Wei Xia a certain style.
"The greatest offensive player".
You know, although James averages more than 25 points per game all year round, he always claims that he is not an offensive player. "Not an offensive player" and "Not just a basketball player" are two powerful tools for the team behind him to promote the outside world. The fingers are pointed directly at the man on the Iron Throne.
The man had 10 scoring champions, saying that he was the deadliest offensive in history, probably no problem. He had already taken that road to death, and whoever walked this road was just following his footprints, so James had to go his own way. "It's not just an offensive player" to distinguish him from the imitators of the man who was following the throne.
Not only is he a basketball player, but he also directly uses his social influence to make up for the lack of court honor. He speaks for his ethnic group through various social media, which shows that he may not be the best basketball player, but he is definitely a basketball player who is more valuable to the black people.
On Wei Xia, the reporter asked him how he felt when he was fighting with James, and he talked about endless things: "This is what I have been waiting for for a long time-" He talked about how he expected it, "LeBron's offense is generally underestimated, and he is very strong-" Tout the enemy to strengthen himself, "I like the first half duel, and I hope there are more similar duels."
Wei Xia’s hope can only be wish in the end.
James stood up to attack him. The Heat not only did not narrow the gap, but also lag even more behind. This is enough to prove what the consequences will be if they continue to follow this path.
In the second half, James hid his edge.
What was unexpected was that the Heat, which should strive to catch up with points, showed a negative negative emotion.
On the offensive end, they lost their aggressiveness and lost their teamwork. The simplified offensive handling was the biggest problem the Clippers encountered in the second half. Without a decent organization, they were all single-block screening cooperation and James/Ward's ball-holding one-on-one. When facing the 76ers' occasional attack, the Heat's ball-holders were extremely fragile in terms of breaking defense ability.
Defensive communication is worrying.
There was a ball, Odom in the play, holding the ball to the top of his head with both hands.
The Heat's response is amateur level, and the 76ers' incisiveness is not very clever, but Hayward has no care. James is watching Weisha, and Wade is missing. Hayward entered the basket without any trouble. Odom passed the ball, and he played a counter-skirts, allowing the 76ers to lead by 20 points.
Fortunately, Wade and James are superstars with great response skills after all.
But their defenses to retreat were too bad.
Odom held the ball in the backcourt one-stop, and they chose to shrink the defense line, outside the three-point line, Weisha and Hayward were empty.
These problems will never only happen to James and Wade. Even when Bosh/Oden squatted inside, the 76ers found a way to crack the defense.
The Heat once played a very beautiful overall defense in the first half, but in the second half, whether it was team or willing, their defensive collapse could be said to be all-round.
You should know that after the 76ers took a rest from Cousins, they specifically announced that they would play the final battle of the regular season with all the main lineups.
What do they want?
Of course, it is to let the 76ers fail, let them stop at 70 wins, win the showdown with the 76ers, and increase confidence to the team.
The situation seems to be the opposite now, and the official responsible for the press release is much more motivated than the players.
The Heat's coaching staff saw the problem. The Heat's core strength has always been composed of the Big Three and experienced veterans.
The journey of two consecutive championships has made them tired, and the veterans no longer desire it, just like this game. They hope to play casually, as it does not affect the rankings, and the outcome is not that important.
In order to solve the problem of the team's lack of energy, the Heat tried to use a small lineup that allowed Bosh to play the fifth position and James to play the fourth position in the fourth quarter. This information was quickly captured by the 76ers. He grabbed the lack of hardness in the inside line and played several rounds in a row. Either Wei Xia went to the penalty area to challenge their basket protection, or used his and Hayward's long shot restraint to play the pick-and-roll, and forced him to shrink inward for the teammates who had dismantled the downward stroke, tearing apart Miami's defensive formation, thereby driving the entire rotation running and creating a three-point long shot for others on the outside.
From the excessiveness of the third quarter to the fourth quarter, and the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat's performance can be summarized in one word: Confused.
The chaos that this team showed in adversity was no longer a problem for one or two people.
"You can't even believe they are the defending champions."
"Did lbj's singles in the second quarter make his teammates fall asleep?"
"It's not impossible. LBJ's singles come and go, and they may really have a hypnotic effect."
Listen, the commentators at the FUC Center don’t know how to explain the Heat’s pulling streak to the fans and started talking nonsense.
This is not a problem that the Heat suddenly showed, it is a problem they have had since the beginning of the season.
Some people may have forgotten the opening game of this season, how did the 76ers, who are not as powerful as today, kill the Heat, which has not been adjusted back from the holiday.
From the first game of this season to the last game of this season, the Heat are fighting for their personal abilities. But what is outrageous is that in the playoffs, except for James, the rest of the team is almost all x-factor - Wade's knee, Bosh is steadily sluggish against the big center, and veterans such as Bathir can output, but the upper limit is extremely limited. The most important source of firepower on the bench has not exceeded 40% so far. I only scored 11 points in total tonight, which may not be worth the points given in one quarter - if it goes well, it will be smooth. Everyone is happy to eat dumplings, but if it doesn't go well, the game is a one-on-one fight against iron.
Although the Heat have a good front line, they do not have an effective collaboration method that can connect them together to form a benign mutual assistance relationship. On the contrary, they often suddenly fail to work, and the coaching staff piled up Beasley and Norris Cole and other players with poor defense capabilities on the court, frequently exposing them to the opponent's core attackers, so that the opponent can break through the surface and tear open the entire line of defense.
"No one expected that there would be garbage time in this game."
Yes, garbage time, the third time in the 76ers' match against the Heat.
So far this season, 76ers have scored the Heat into garbage time in three consecutive games.
Seven minutes before the game ended, Jay Wright replaced Weisha to rest.
Wei Xia scored 46 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, turned around and came out, and they were about to win Game 71.
"We've been repeatedly stressing that Miami still has time, and that the Heat can get better. But now, there's really not much time left for them. If they're still the same kind of morality in the playoffs, then I'm sure Philadelphia will sweep it out without a single game."
Matt Cod, an announcer at the Wells Center, made a prediction about the Heat's future.
