Chapter 404 Unyielding Fire(1/2)
The Raptors' counterattack is the strongest in the entire league.
If we want to talk about the second most powerful counterattack team in the NBA, the Heat will take the lead.
Wade and James are both good players. They can cooperate with each other and take care of each other. Once they take action, they will be extremely powerful.
On the offensive end, Banyani missed a three-pointer, and the Heat immediately launched a thunderous counterattack.
Their attack burst out with unpleasant smoke and filled with murderous aura. James was like a king who was unstoppable. His body was in the air, his headband was on the same line as the basket, and his right hand grabbed the basketball with all his strength.
The basketball was then split into the basket.
Li Xing looked back at James. At this moment, the score difference between the two sides had reached 11 points.
James and Wade burned themselves for this, but they failed to find the invincible state of Game2.
The inside line is always the Heat's Achilles heel.
After Joel Anthony was beaten, Dexter Pittman's results were not good after he came on the court.
Li Xing rubbed him like he was pinched mud, and he would pinch him into whatever shape he wanted.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat replaced Joel Anthony.
He only played thirty seconds before the six fouls beaten by Li Xing left the field.
The Heat can only exchange for Pittman.
He is taller than Anthony, stronger, heavier, slower the pace of the game, and less suitable for James.
If we talk about the source of all evil, it is Bosh's injury.
If Bosh can play, they don't have to struggle like this at all.
James' counterattack helped the Heat catch up to 11 points.
It's the Raptors' turn to attack.
With his innate sense of scoring, Murray knew when he would cut to the basket and easily scored with his teammate's pass.
This season, half of DeRozan's score comes from counterattacks, half of the remaining half comes from off-ball running, and the rest is singles with the ball.
In other words, only a small part of his average score of nearly 20 points per game comes from personal offense.
This round, he also wanted to use his running position to help the team score.
Wade, who was following behind him, saw his purpose.
The Flash followed with some malicious intentions.
DeRozan is still too young after all, and he really feels that the whole world can't stop him from scoring on the ball.
In fact, the best restrictive offense is the off-ball offense.
If the opponent has no ball in his hand, he can only run on a fixed route. As long as he pays more attention, he can avoid the bumps and bumps along the way.
Wade not only had to avoid covers along the way, he also wanted to destroy the Raptors' passes.
DeRozan ran out of the defense line and still didn't react. Stephenson only said that he knew someone behind him and shot as often as possible.
You don't know, I don't know, a casual pass made the whole game worse.
Wade took action quickly like a strong wind, and suddenly accelerated, and even swept the ball away before DeRozan's hand touched the ball.
He is destined to pay the price for it.
DeRozan widened his eyes and chased Wade.
The Shark said back then: "This kid is the embodiment of the Flash!"
This is definitely not something that can be obtained for nothing. Once Wade starts, his speed is really different from others, especially when he changes direction and gets rid of it while moving, he does not slow down at all.
The pursuer behind him had been thrown away by him, and it was Wade again.
He rushed through the half with the ball alone, giving the Raptors a quick blow.
This blow was like an injection for them, and the pain came in an instant and left instantly.
However, those round-trip games are often made up one by one through this needle-like momentary counterattack.
Are you coming again?
There will always be this feeling between opponents.
This has nothing to do with strength. As long as you fight, you can feel the other party’s intentions.
Pittman had no evidence, he could just feel that Li Xing was going to attack, and if he wanted to ask for reasons, he couldn't say anything.
"He suddenly hit me with his butt." If this is a reason, that's the reason.
Sure enough, Li Xing received a pass from his teammate in the next few minutes.
Pitman frowned, he knew that Li Xing would launch a fierce offensive.
James and Wade fought back in a row, which put a lot of pressure on him, and he would not miss this opportunity.
Li Xing took a deep breath and it was not difficult to score on Pitman.
The difficulty lies in the Heat's assisted defense.
He must praise the Heat's defense. Both James and Wade should be selected into the best defensive first team. Their defensive elasticity and one-on-one locking ability are both top-notch in the league.
It is precisely because of these two people that the Heat can play such a small lineup.
They are like the Bulls of that year, and they like to suddenly increase their defensive intensity in the second half and flood their opponents with oppressive defenses.
Even if he is, he will be in a hurry to deal with such double-teams.
Li Xing took the ball and thrust his back, and Pittman was knocked back by him.
At this time, James quickly retreated.
His speed was too fast, and Li Xing didn't notice his pace at all, and a figure flashed in front of him.
Li Xing held the ball and raised it high.
"What do you do now?"
When Pittman saw the opportunity, he interfered loudly. Whether he could defend Li Xing was all in the next few seconds.
"You can't do it! You can't beat me! With me here, you can't do it!"
Pittman's trash talk is different from Joel Anthony.
The latter was because of his incredible confidence that he could compete with Li Xing; Pittman was more cowardly and rational. He correctly recognized the gap between the two sides and understood one very clearly: if one fight was started, he would be sure, sure, and without a doubt, 100% completely blown by Li Xing.
This can be seen through the previous four games and by Li Xing's average score of 3030612 on the Heat.
Pittman has a clear understanding of himself, which is not available to other Heat's insiders.
Although he was once very arrogant, he has accepted his fate now.
This is why Spoelstra doesn't like to use him. He is timid before fighting. Is that so great?
James' double-team allows him to take advantage of his power.
There is no need to say much about the significance of preventing Li Xing.
At the critical moment, Li Xing was the guide to the Raptors. With him on the spot, the whole team was full of energy.
James also tightened his double-team with full confidence.
Li Xing held the ball with one hand, calmly leaned against Pittman, and raised it high to play.
The height advantage is there, even if James can't force Li Xing to put down the ball even if he doubles up.
James came down to double-team, which means Barnes had a free seat.
Li Xing didn't like to act recklessly, and he thought of this irritable old guy at the first time.
"Rach!"
Barnes shouted loudly, attracting Li Xing's attention.
When Li Xing got the ball, he removed the power exerted by Pittman on himself and cut directly into the basket.
No matter how rough Barnes's skills are and how bad his ball-taking awareness is, he knows what Li Xing's position means when he runs to.
One old and one young, made a beautiful cooperation within two seconds.
Barnes sent a bad alley pass.
Li Xing received the ball in the air, which was very far away from the basket, so he couldn't take the next attack, so he had to move the ball gently and use the basket to pick out the ball from the height above the basket.
This is the real shot of "whether or not, it depends on his feel".
Pitman was stunned. James was unwilling to accept it. The whole audience's eyes fell on the ball.
"Swish!"
With a slight sound, it seemed like it fell into a lake, and the basketball entered the basket and fell to the ground.
"Isn't two people enough?"
Li Xing left this sentence and turned around and ran away.
