The first quarter game between the Washington Wizards and the Miami Heat ended with the Heat taking the double-digit lead.

Although he was ahead of the score, no one thought the game would end so easily.

The Wizards' strength lies not only in their strong starting offense, but also in the depth of the bench on the bench.

Substitutes are very important in every team. After all, no matter how strong the main players are, they will feel tired. For 48 minutes in a game, even James Wade rarely plays for more than 40 minutes in a single game.

Especially in the battle with the Wizards, the two teams have a very fast offensive rhythm, which further accelerates the consumption of physical energy.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat replaced most of the main players, with Wade alone leading four substitutes on the court.

The Wizards also replaced Curry, George, Danny Green, Jamison and Jordan Jr.

The replacements for them were Beverly, Harden, Butler, Whiteside and McGee.

The Wizards' lineup is not very offensive, and they mainly rely on Harden to drive the offensive rhythm, but the height of the inside line is amazing.

McGee and Whiteside are both big men of 2.13 meters, and they are both spring people with excellent athletic ability.

In front of these two people, Haslem, who is only 2.03 meters tall and Joel Anthony, who is 2.06 meters tall, cannot protect the rebound.

Less than a few minutes after the second quarter, Harden relied on pick-and-roll to rush into the inside to cause damage. When Wade tried to fight back, he saw two 2.13-meter-long men in the Wizards almost living in the inside and not coming out, which was a headache.

If it was Wade when he was young, he might not have thought about rushing in with the basketball in his arms and committing a foul.

But Wade, who is already 28, has obviously calmed down when playing on the court.

Wade tried to organize tactics to attack, but when James Jones, Carlos Arroyo were on the outside, and Haslem and Joel Anthony were on the inside, the Heat's offense could almost be said to be able to rely on Wade himself.

After two consecutive attempts to stop and jump shots from the outside, Wade had to increase the number of times he hit the basket.

He rushed into the inside line again and again with the basketball in his arms as if he was carrying an explosive bag, but his efficiency was obviously worse than Harden. It was not that Harden is stronger than Wade now, but that it is really difficult to deal with two big men, Whiteside and McGee, who stand in the inside line.

Within a few minutes, the double-digit score difference was chased to single digits by the Wizards.

The situation between Spolstra was not good, so he immediately called a timeout, and replaced Wade and replaced James and Bosh on the court.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao replaced Whiteside and replaced Danny Green with Danny Green as the small forward, defending James, allowing Butler to reach the power forward position.

Green can't defend James, and his defensive efficiency is even two points worse than George. After all, Green is not as good as George in terms of height or weight, let alone compared to James, but as long as James can further consume James' physical fitness, it is valuable.

As the game progressed, the main players of both sides began to return to the court one after another.

The Wizards are still running and fighting, quickly changing offense and defense, forcing the opponent to speed up.

And the Heat seems to be a little unable to hold on.

When Wang Xiao rotated again, switching Curry, George, Jamison and others to the court and continued to run back and forth throughout the game, Wang Xiao clearly felt that the Heat could not keep up with the pace.

In order to ensure the offensive rhythm, James Wade and Bosh did not rest much in the first quarter, and after only a short rest in the second quarter, they immediately played again. When their physical fitness has not yet fully recovered, they will continue to play fast-paced games. Anyone would feel tired if they were. After all, the Heat are not like the Wizards, and there are many players who can rotate.

Of course, this situation is just a sign. James and others' physical fitness has not fallen short of the second quarter and the collapse of the second quarter. When it really decides the winner, it is from the second half of the third quarter to the fourth quarter.

After the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 67:56. The Wizards successfully recovered the double-digit score difference in the first quarter to the single digits, but it was just 9 points, which could make the score difference return to the double-digit gap by scoring 1 point.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, Wang Xiao once again emphasized the issue of offensive rhythm on the bench.

"In the second half, everyone continued to maintain the offensive rhythm of the first half, ran, and forced the opponent to follow our rhythm! Only those three guys they could really show off, dragging them down, and the winner of this game was us!"

While talking, Wang Xiao patted George on the shoulder.

"George, you did a great job in the first half. Come on, teach me a good lesson!"

George's defense against James was not particularly good in the first half. James scored 21 points in the first half with a 52% shooting percentage under the defense of Butler and George.

But although the offensive efficiency is extremely high, even James will inevitably need to spend more physical fitness and energy to attack when facing George's candy defense.

The Heat scored 67 points in the first half and took nearly 60 shots, with a frequency of attacks far exceeding previous games. James made 16 shots in the first half, including several foul free throws that did not count.

Wang Xiao didn't believe that James would not be tired under such a fast-paced attack.

Once James' physical strength declines and his lethality weakens, it is the moment for the Wizards to counterattack!

...

The 15-minute break in the midfield was fleeting, and it was soon convenient to reappear for the third quarter.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Xiao noticed that James did not start at the beginning of the third quarter.

Obviously Spolstra also found that James was spending too much in the first half.

Unlike Wade, James has been playing singles all the time, and unknowingly consumes too much physical fitness.

Spoelstra, who discovered this problem, did not let James play at the beginning of the third quarter, obviously hoping to give the opponent more rest time.

But how could Wang Xiao give him this opportunity?

As soon as he stood on the sidelines, Wang Xiao shouted to the field, "Stephen! Strengthen the attack! Break through their defense for me!"

Hearing Wang Xiao's command, Curry immediately understood and began to break through frequently, rushing towards the Heat's inside.

Curry's breakthrough ability is definitely first-class among point guards. With the pick-and-roll, Chalmos couldn't defend it at all. After getting to the basket, facing the opponent's inside players' backup defense, Curry can often use the time difference to score the ball.

When the Heat attacked, Wade, who was holding the ball, was shocked to find that the Wizards had double-teamed him and directly let Mike Miller at the small forward position open!
