When pride still matters

Chapter 320 It’s not the time yet

Yu Fei came to the front court like a fire-breathing dragon.

His target is Wade. No matter who the Heat lets guard him, he will call the pick-and-roll, forcing Wade to switch to guard him.

When Wade realized that Yu Fei's gun had been aimed at him, he decided to take the initiative to face this formidable enemy.

When Wade and Posey were forcibly broken up by Yu Fei due to miscommunication, Wade said to Posey: "JP, let me deal with him."

Percy asked, "Are you serious?"

Wade said obligingly: "His target is me. Instead of hiding, it's better to face it."

The truth was correct, but Percy didn't know whether this move was good or bad.

There is a difference between facing the fly on the defensive end and occasionally switching defenses. No one in the Heat understands the pressure of doing this better than him.

Can Wade?

When Wade came to the offensive end, he found that Yu Fei had taken the initiative to defend him.

The size difference between the two is too obvious. Even if his defense is good, taking the initiative to confront Wei Fei is destined to be thankless.

When he broke into the paint, the Bucks' defense was everywhere, and the most threatening players to Wade were undoubtedly Yu Fei beside him and Mutombo in front of him.

This can only prove one thing, the Heat decided to let Wade play against them.

This may be the connection between them.

However, Wade really should think more.

Wade had no intention of shooting, because even if Yu Fei opened up the space, with his height and wingspan, he could still easily interfere with his shot.

However, Yu Fei's defense is not as aggressive as Bell's. Preventing breakthroughs rather than shots is his basic strategy.

Wade decided to pass to Mourning.

This big brother who plays every game as if it was his last, the Kidney Fighter who talks about "survive" every day, receives the pass and skillfully shakes Kwame Brown, who is assisting in defense, to put the basket under the basket and score.

But such a bold decision cannot be made by Riley on the spot, so there is a high probability that it is Wade's own decision.

“You’ll know after you try it!”

Wade is also a scheming person, but he doesn't think so much when playing.

With one thought, Wade stepped into the Bucks' trap.

Each one knows what the other is thinking.

Yu Fei likes his attitude, but doesn't like Wade's idea that he can defend himself.

Then, Yu Fei noticed Wade starting to follow him.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between James and them. James plays four levels of himself in the latest advertisement. There is a businessman James who is too shrewd and too calculating, and this way of thinking is reflected on the court by looking forward and backward.

This made it easier for Yu Fei to hit him.

This made Yu Fei lament that in the series against the Cavaliers, James did this very rarely, and Wade decisively chose to face him after he decided to usurp the throne.

Like to try it? Then let you die.

"Dwayne, you don't think you can guard me, do you?"

Suddenly, Yu Fei asked Brown to pull away, came to the low post on the left, and blocked Wade's body with his back to ask for the ball.

"!@￥#￥"

What kind of offense can maximize the use of the attacker's physical advantage? The answer is naturally low singles.

Low-post offense is equal to both offense and defense. The one who is big has an advantage, and the one with poor strength will be crushed. Even a rough low-post singles player like Yu Fei, as long as the physical advantage is big enough, Wade's defense will be destroyed as soon as he touches it. broken.

The most important thing is that such an attack can also wear down the opponent while hitting it.

Yu Fei took the ball and hit Wade hard. At that moment, Wade understood how those people who were hit by O'Neal felt.

Powerless.

And pain.

Before Wade could recover, Yu Fei's second impact struck.

This time, Wade could no longer support his body and was knocked to the ground roughly.

Yu Fei turned around and jumped up, hitting an easy 45-degree left-side board shot.

"You can keep trying." Yu Fei said, "Maybe you can succeed once in the next ten defenses?"

Wade had already seen "Fry Hell."

Because he is O'Neal's teammate.

He doesn't need to ask Jordan how he feels about Fei, nor does he need to specifically inquire about Yu Fei's deeds. As long as he observes carefully during the game with the Bucks, he will know how Yu Fei treats O'Neal.

Compared with the way Yu Fei treats O'Neal, what does such trash talk mean?

Wade was pulled up by Mourning and then ran forward.

Payton dribbles the ball to the frontcourt and waits for Wade to get into position before passing the ball.

Wade, who was eager to score, used his high-level ball-handling ability to step into the three-point line and then made a jump shot.

However, Yu Fei was not shaken away. Wade just wanted to take action from a better position, but ignored that his opponent could jump up and interfere at any time.

Just in the air, Yu Fei's finger brushed Wade's shot.

This changes the arc of the ball.

The ball spun into the air and began to fall. Kwame Brown got the air ball and threw it to Yu Fei.

Yu Fei started on the spot and rushed forward at full speed, with Wade pressing closely.

However, Yu Fei stopped suddenly in the paint area in the frontcourt, changed hands behind his back, collected the ball, and started to push away Wade before jumping up. After causing a foul on the opponent, he grabbed the ball with his left hand and hit the basket hard.

Since Yu Fei and Wade faced each other in all aspects, Wade has made no achievements other than assists to Mourning.

But Yu Fei took everything he wanted from him.

The matchups in these rounds are like telling others that it is unrealistic to expect Wade to fight Yu Fei now.

Pat Riley clearly realizes that this is not a fair matchup.

Yu Fei is more mature than Wade in every aspect, but Wade has hidden technical problems and has not been able to use his recent high shooting percentage to adjust his game tendencies. As a result, Yu Fei can play whatever he wants offensively. , the defensive end silenced him with just one free throw.

What causes this?

Riley looked at O'Neal who was sitting on the court.

He believes that Shark's departure is a big part of the reason. No one may have noticed it before, but now, O'Neal's role is beginning to come out.

If O'Neal is on the court, the Heat's defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds are guaranteed, and Wade and others will feel more secure when taking shots.

Now, O'Neal is sitting off the court and Wade wants to challenge Yu Fei again. Every time he fails to challenge, he is beaten back.

The most damning thing is that Yu Fei was too cruel.

If this continues, Riley doubts that a determined person like Wade will lose confidence in himself.

There is a story about Rocco Schidiver, who asked an actress who had just entered the industry what her bottom line was before filming a movie. The other actress said that she had no bottom line. Luo Ke immediately reprimanded her to have a bottom line, because male actors are devils on the set. If you don't have a bottom line, he will kill you.

Putting this story into the current scenario, Wade is the actress who thinks she has no bottom line.

Riley took the initiative to interfere with the matchup between Wade and Yu Fei.

The Heat called their second timeout since the start of the game.

"Dwayne, stop confronting Frye from now on." Riley said clearly. "If he calls a pick-and-roll, you will double-team with James. At the same time, we give up offensive rebounds. As long as we take a shot, everyone will retreat immediately." Defend!"

Wade doesn't think he's lost yet.

"Pat, I want to try again."

But Riley shot him down: "No, Dwayne, it's not time yet."

Riley will not act impulsively like a young man. He has already seen that, at least against the Bucks, Wade should never fully confront Yu Fei.

He is better suited to dominate against the Bucks' secondary players like Bell, just like he did in the last game.

O'Neal had rested for a few minutes. He had already calmed down and wanted to play, but Riley had no intention of replacing him.

Now seeing Wade being suppressed by Yu Fei, he couldn't hold himself back any longer: "Pat, I'm ready, let me go."

"No, Shaq," Riley said, "wait until the second quarter before you play."

The timeout ended and Yu Fei scored an extra penalty.

Then they discovered that the Heat's style of play had changed.

Wade no longer just picks up the ball and attacks the basket.

Payton took over the ball and began to resume the Heat's positional battle.

Wade became the weakside rusher and moved around.

After a screen, Bell switched defenses.

But the Heat don't use Wade to attack.

Payton did what he was accustomed to doing in Miami, lob the ball inside.

Mourning singled out Haslem, who was newly replaced by the Bucks, and a real man battle took place between the two muscular short insiders. They collided multiple times in a few seconds and punched to the flesh.

Haslem, as the soul of the Heat in his previous life and a minion of the Flying Tigers in this life, although he tried his best to defend Mourning, he was still affected by the opponent's fake move and was shaken into the air.

Mourning missed the board and broke the Heat's deadlock again.

Heat fans who saw Wade being beaten and thought the game was hopeless and were wondering whether to leave felt that they could watch the game again.

Yu Fei, who came to the frontcourt, was sure that the Heat stopped Wade from continuing to confront him.

Now the person coming to defend him has become James Posey.

Wade went to defend Kevin Martin in the corner.

It's like saying: If you can't beat me, can't you hide from me?

Yu Fei thought to himself, is this the end?

Do you want to end it when you want? It's not that easy.

Yu Fei called Martin to pick and roll, and then the Heat directly double-teamed him, completely eliminating Yu Fei's idea of ​​beating Wade.

Yu Fei points the ball to Martin.

Martin missed a three-pointer, and Payton pushed back and was blocked, but Antoine Walker tipped the ball in the frontcourt.

The game entered a new round of stalemate.
