Chapter 833 [Boiled frogs in warm water]

The Heat attacked, and Wade wanted the ball to fight Wang Jun alone.

No matter who the opponent is, Wade has to try his best to stand up and score. This is what the team leader should do.

Wang Jun mainly defended the breakthrough and kept his distance. Wade took a step back and missed the mid-range shot. James grabbed the backcourt rebound, slowing down the pace.

Wang Jun jogged slowly through the half, smiling, his smile made Wade very uncomfortable.

When he was playing against the Bulls, Wade was defended. It was not Wang Jun who was defending him, but the double-powered defender Kok Hinrich, who is in a very bad condition now.

Wang Jun and Sinrich have a good relationship. They are very clear about Wade's weaknesses and have also asked for advice on how to defend him.

When dealing with Wade, using joint defense is not very useful. He attracts double teams to pass the ball, which is very selfless and cannot be close to him. Wade has a strong ability to fight and is the best in the No. 2 position. Physical contact will not disrupt his dribbling rhythm, and may be overwhelmed by a turn.

The way to deal with Wade is to break through the route by dead cards, keep a distance, and force him to jump shots.

Wade, who is jumper, can score, but his shooting percentage is not so amazing.

Wang Jun studied Wade's data in detail before the game, with one step inside the three-point line, a mid-range shot shooting percentage near the free throw line was 464, and the bottom line on the left side reached 45 to the 50-degree area, and other positions were less than 40.

Moreover, Wade rarely makes mid- and long distance shots. In addition to layups, his main attack point is low-post shots on both sides.

Only Wade, who broke through and passed the ball, has the dominance. It is not easy for him to pass Wang Jun one-on-one, especially under the premise that Wang Jun and James practiced together for a season.

Wade and James are so similar in style. Wang Jun is used to being stronger in defense. How could he be afraid of Wade?

When the Kings attacked, Miller pulled to the pick-and-roll on the periphery again. Wang Jun broke through with the ball and went to the left. Bogut did not change defense in time, so Wade chased from behind.

If Wang Jun only stopped and jumped, Wade might have the possibility of catching up.

He is no longer a floor player in 2006, and his speed is no less than Wade. He switches defense slowly, and he lowers the center of gravity and accelerates over Bogut and rushes into the basket.

He scored a goal with his left hand and scored with a low hand. He took a shot too quickly. Wade followed him and didn't have time to jump. Bogut watched the fun. 8 to 2.

Spoelstra frowned on the sidelines, thinking about how to adjust the defense. The Heat's defensive tactics failed at the opening.

Let Bogut switch defense faster? It seems that this is the only way, but Wang Jun has an advantage in fighting alone. Wade chases defense and passes the ball to the middle to give it a chance.

When the Heat attacked, Wade broke through with pick-and-roll, but was still single-defense. James followed closely and Wade passed the ball to the middle.

Wang Jun defends closely, Bosh can take action, but he has to rely on his height advantage, so the rhythm is not easy to grasp.

Bosh took a step and chose to pass the ball, or give it to Bogut. Bogut has never been beaten as the core of the offensive since entering the league. Now this occasion has made him attack endlessly, and he lacks confidence and passes.

24 seconds were approaching, and Chalmos forced a breakthrough and rushed to a jump shot. The ball bounced out and the rebound was obtained by Miller.

In the King's position battle, Wade defended Wang Jun close to him, making it difficult for him to get the ball. The ball was transferred to Curry's side, and he dribbled the ball and waited for his teammates to run.

Wang Jun and Miller cover to get rid of Wade, attracting Bogut to replace defense, Curry passed the ball to Wang Jun, and Wang Jun transferred the ball to Miller near the free throw line.

Wade was in place to defend, Miller did not shoot, raised his shot, and passed the ball to James in the middle.

James' deep-selves playing style became more and more skillful, and he squeezed Prince to the basket to catch the ball, turned around and took action.

Prince's long-arm interference played a role this time. James missed a simple layup and Wade got the rebound.

Both sides fought for defense and were very patient. Wade's breakthrough could not attract double teams. He leaned against Wang Jun's 45-degree throw from the right and hit the board with interference. 8 to 4.

After entering the playoffs, defense will become very critical. The Kings averaged 108 points per game and scored 1,248 points per game in the regular season. They won by offense and almost broke the team's single-season scoring record.

In the playoffs, the Kings averaged only 1,122 points per game, reducing the number of rounds and losing 96 points, making the defense much better.

Neither side had a good chance of making a phone call in the first quarter, and they played very slowly.

Wang Jun performed the best, with 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, James scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen, who was substituted, scored 2 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 2 points.

The Heat's offense was very bad. Wade only scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter. Bogut, who scored the most points, scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

The Kings lead 22 to 16.

James took the substitute in the second quarter, Wang Jun rested, and the other four were Ray Allen, McGrady, Gibson, and Yi Jianlian.

The Heat are on their usual lineup, Beverly, Korver, Bathir, Haslem, Anderson. In order to strengthen defense, Rashid did not play.

Ray Allen took over the offensive mission and was determined to face Beverly's singles challenge. He relied on his height to jump shot, hitting two mid-range shots and one three-pointer.

James played poorly. Bathir has rich experience and knows how to prevent him from breaking through, shooting, and predictions are accurate. James immediately stepped forward to block his eyes when he jumped.

After three minutes of playing, the Kings were 7-0, and no one scored in the Heat, and they were all deflated.

Wade returned to the court early, and the King immediately replaced Wang Jun, replaced McGrady to strengthen his defense, and withstood the counterattack.

If you use joint defense against the Heat, the outside world is likely to be open, and people are targeted. Korver and Bathir are not easy to play. Anderson can still let go and double-team Wade at the low post.

Wade played very uncomfortable. He made 1 of 3 shots in the second quarter, made a foul and made both free throws, and only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half.

Bosh scored only 4 points and performed worse. He and James played side by side in the US national team. He often practiced the ball together and knew the bottom line. If he could play harder, he would not be so bad. He did not attack at all, but only made a jump shot.

The Kings led 46-31 in the first half, and the Heat only scored 15 points in a single quarter.

During the break, Zhang remarked: "The Heat did reduce the Kings' score, but their own offensive rhythm was also disrupted. In order to ensure defense, the Heat did not play fast attacks, their pitchers were not as good as the Kings, and their positional combat offensive efficiency was inefficient."

Yu Jia said: "No one from the Kings was selected for the best defensive team, but Wang Jun and James are both good at defense. Today, the two teamed up to defeat Wade. The Heat players rely too much on Wade to break the score."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Today, the king suppressed his opponent by boiling frogs in warm water, and he was very patient in fighting."

The situation in the second half did not change, and the Heat arranged for Bogut to attack the inside and to actively shear the pick-and-roll.

Bogut scored a lot of points because of this, and the Heat couldn't make a three-pointer.

Korver was the target of being strictly guarded. After covering, the King immediately changed defense in the inside, so he let the inside dunk and not let the outside attack.

The Kings have two super strong offensive points with the ball, and the inside also uses foul tactics against Bogut, sending him free throws, further disrupting the Heat's overall offensive rhythm.

This season, Bogut's regular season free throw percentage was 442, and it dropped to 375 after the playoffs.

The outside players have few moves, can't find the feel, and dare not shoot, forming a vicious cycle.

In the last quarter, Spolstra finally made a desperate bet, allowing Beverly, Wade and Korver to partner with him, Bathir played the power forward, and Bosh’s center played small ball tactics and accelerated the counterattack.

The King sent Curry, Wang Jun, Ray Allen, James, and Gibson, and the same small ball tactics.

Gibson was very fast, with a pick-and-roll cut in the air and made a dunk twice. He and Wang Jun played pick-and-roll, and Bosh must defend himself, otherwise he would directly shoot from the outside. Bosh left the penalty area and lacked protection in the inside.

3 minutes and 12 seconds, Wang Jun scored a three-pointer in the counterattack, and the Kings led 95 to 74 to 21 points, and the game entered garbage time.
