Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 52: There is a score to settle, Wade must die!

At the Coast Center Arena, the Dallas Mavericks have three opponents in the league this season - the Miami Heat.

During the warm-up, Tan Yang and Wade chatted for a while.

“I didn’t expect that we would meet so early.

Dwyane, it seems that our old score needs to be settled in advance.

They said they couldn't lose after they beat Wake Forest. However, Marquette was beaten by the University of Kansas led by Hinrich, and they still scored 33 points. This was the worst performance in the history of the NCAA Final Four. ah.

Therefore, Wake Forest University, which reached the Sweet 8, was also questioned. "

"..." Wade puffed up his cheeks. You can't say that his touch in that game was bad, right?
However, it doesn't matter. When he encounters the losers in the NCAA competition, he doesn't want to make excuses and just deal with them again.

Josh Howard also joined in the fun and shook Wade's hand vigorously.

It can be said that he is where he is today, to a certain extent, thanks to Wade.

The strength of Wake Forest University has been questioned, and as the core player of the team, he is the most passive.

If Wake Forest advanced from 8 to 4 that day, he would most likely not be on a four-year child labor contract. Although it is not as high as Wade's pick, at least it should be no problem to become a lottery pick.

Now he has fallen to the 29th pick, missing out on millions of dollars, which makes his heart bleed.

At this time, the starting lineups of both teams tonight were also played on the central technical stage of the arena.

The Heat's starting five are Jerome Beasley, Haslem, Matt Barnes, Russell Butler, and Wade.

The Mavericks' starting five are Mamado Ndiaye, Josh Howard, Marquis Daniels, Jose Calderon and Qin Yang.

The game started with Ndiaye beating Jerome Beasley to get the ball for the Mavericks on their first possession.

……

"Calderon controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately passed the ball to Tan Yang who was in the top arc. Then, he cut to the basket without the ball, and moved to the right basket with Russell Butler's defense.

Qin Yang attacks with the ball from the top of the arc, and Wade, the fifth overall pick in 03, watches the defense. The advantage is with the Heat. Let's see how Qin Yang will attack?

Is he going to fight one-on-one, or is he trying to win?

Oh, without hesitation, he brought in Josh Howard..."

Moving from the left to the right, using Qin Yang's cover to block Haslem's follow-up defense, Josh Howard received the pass from Qin Yang and immediately dribbled the ball inward, facing Wade. Sliding to change defense, Josh Howard made a three-step layup, riding Wade's horse, and shot the basketball like an arrow...

Wade is very defensive, very talented, and his attitude is nothing to say, but Jordan, who is 5cm shorter, is really short compared to Josh Howard's 2m, misplaced defense, unable to reach with his hands, and was Attacking on horseback, he could only listen to the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
2 to 0! !
In the first round between Tan Yang and Wade, with the help of Josh Howard's 40-meter-long knife, Wade, who was guarding 39 meters, was cut off his horse.

The Mavericks took the lead with Tan Yang and Josh Howard connected.

Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Tan Yang and Josh Howard high-fived each other in celebration, their expressions filled with emotionless killing intent.

In a word, Wade must die.

Wake Forest handsome and ugly revenge alliance said.

Looking back, the Heat attack.

Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was immediately pressed to the right by Tan Yang, allowing him to control the ball on his unused left side.

"Wade stepped down and dribbled to the right. He wanted to attack from the right, but Tan Yang fought against him. It was Tan Yang who had the advantage.

Dribbling back to the left, Wade accelerated, trying to use speed to get rid of Tan Yang's entanglement, but Tan Yang chose to stumble.

Beep——!
The whistle sounded and Tan Yang was called for a foul..."

The Heat still had the ball, but unfortunately, Wade's offense was interrupted.

You can commit 10 fouls in the summer league, which means nothing compared to one or two fouls.

After receiving the ball from the sideline, Wade's right side was pressed tightly by Tan Yang again.

His ball-handling skills are not good, and he does not have an advantage in physical confrontation. He pressed the accelerator button forcibly and was interrupted and targeted. Wade also picked up his homework and chose to shake people.

"Haslem got up high and made a pick-and-roll for Wade.

Oh, Tan Yang didn't switch to defend Haslem, but instead joined Josh Howard in a double attack on Wade.

Oh, Wade pulled it out, he shot... No, he didn't shoot, he jumped up and passed the ball to Haslem in the corner.

After catching the ball and jumping up, Haslem raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."

Swish-!
Knife dropped, goal scored.

As an undrafted player in 02, Haslem came back from studying abroad in Europe. While losing weight, he also practiced half-shot basketball.

If you take action in an open position, you will be given points.

2 to 2! !
"pretty!!

Haslem signed a three-year contract with the Heat early, and he really has something.

The screen pick-and-roll tactics and mid-range shots are all performed very smoothly.

Black, hard, and capable of doing delicate jobs, I’m really unbeatable..."

Off the court, Heat first assistant coach Stan Van Gundy and Coach Spoelstra looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.

Wade is considered by Riley to be 5cm shorter than Jordan. He is 1 meters tall, but it becomes a problem when he is trained in that position.

Playing shooting guard, he suffers from his height.

Playing as the No. 1 guard is very advantageous. You can use your physical talent to bully others and act as Jordan at the No. 1 position.

But after trying the first two games, it was discovered that Wade's movement control skills are too rough, his passing vision is not good, his organizational talent and reading of the game are not good, his shooting is not stable, and he can only play with his body. No way, we can only start to develop simple skills. Wade is best at breaking points. If he can't make breakthroughs, he can only use pick-and-roll tactics.

In a mismatched matchup, no matter how bad Wade's passing ability is, he can still defeat his opponent with his physical mismatch advantage.

Of course, simple pick-and-roll cooperation is an essential medicine that can enrich Wade's breakthrough system.

As for Haslem, he just did what he was supposed to do.

On the court, the Mavericks attack.

Calderon quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Tan Yang at the top of the arc. Facing Wade's pressing, Tan Yang did not continue to move, but passed the ball back to Calderon, and then dribbled the ball through .

"Calderon went in, and his center of gravity for breakthroughs was very low. Butler, who is 2 meters tall, was not easy to defend, so he could only fight and retreat until Beasley's help at the basket blocked the breakthrough space.

Calderon jumped out again and passed the ball back to Tan Yang on the outside.

Oops, Tan Yang didn't pause, quickly transferred the ball to Josh Howard on the left, then broke through with the ball, and Wade helped defend.

Josh Howard went to the penalty area, made an emergency stop, lifted the ball, jumped, and hit the board for a two-point shot..."

Boom, swish—!
4 to 2! !
In the Mavericks' second round of offense, Josh Howard's knife was still sharp, easily breaking through the Mavericks' defense and blasting the damn basketball into the basket.

Haslem is very capable defensively, is not afraid of confrontation, and has excellent defensive skills. However, he is a short inside man. After losing weight and refining his body, he cannot keep up with Josh Howard in speed.

It's not surprising that he was outshone by Josh Howard.

Off the field, Nelson was also very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

Although the traditional run-and-gun tactics failed to bring out the style of the Mavericks, in positional battles and DDM tactics, under Qin Yang's control, they played vigorously and unstoppably.

This is the most precious thing.

Who doesn't know how to use hit and run tactics?

Only by fighting positional battles can you test your true skills.

There is no doubt that the Mavericks team led by Tan Yang and Josh Howard is qualified.

On the court, the Heat attack.

Wade's right side was pressed tightly by Tan Yang again. He tried to force a breakthrough, but was still locked in the target.

"That guy Tan Yang may have become stronger!
But so what?
You can't fake your physical talent. Let me attack the left side, and it will be as you wish..."

Thinking of this, Wade puffed up his cheeks and did not choose to dodge. Instead, he drew his sword head-on and challenged his weakness.

He stepped down from the right side and dribbled to the left side, immediately pressed the accelerator button, and rushed to the three-point line. Before Tan Yang could trip him, he immediately stopped and shot a two-point jumper...

Tan Yang didn't expect that Wade would test his defense with a pull-up mid-range shot. He had no choice but to block shots and press as hard as possible, and the rest was to listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, but Wade's mid-range shot failed.

The basketball shot missed.

Josh Howard picked off the rebound and immediately dribbled the ball forward. After halftime, he passed the ball to Tan Yang and faced Wade's pressing.

Tan Yang protected the ball with his back and shouldered Wade's steal. Then, he steadily controlled the ball to the frontcourt, immediately stepped down and dribbled to the right side. After mobilizing Wade's defensive focus, he also stepped down and dribbled the basketball. Move to the left side, immediately press the accelerator button, use the same action as Wade just now, reach the same position, and then stop and pull-up to shoot a fadeaway jumper...

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

6 to 2! !
After scoring, Tan Yang looked at Wade with a blank expression, then shook his head and said.

"Do you see it!
This is called shooting. You don't need to show off your three-legged pull-up jumper in front of me. "

After saying that, without looking at Wade's face, Tan Yang quickly returned to defense emotionally.

Josh Howard felt very relieved when he saw Wade being beaten by Tan Yang using the same offensive method, at the same offensive location, and scoring that damn basketball in front of Wade.

When returning to defense, he automatically high-fived Tan Yang to celebrate, gave a thumbs up and said a few nice words.

"Tin, well done!
There's nothing more satisfying than beating Wade his way. "

Tan Yang responded with a grin and explained happily. “Fortunately, I succeeded in pretending.

The attack method just now is not what I am good at, I am only 50-50 sure. "

"..."

After hearing this, Josh Howard nodded, smiled ugly and said, "God must not be prepared to forgive Wade..."

Offensive and defensive transition, the Heat attack.

Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and was forced by Tan Yang on the right side.

Wade did not force the ball and chose to attack to the left. Soon, he accelerated into the penalty area.

"Josh Howard rushed over to help defend, and Tan Yang, who was fighting and retreating, intercepted Wade.

Wade went in, he was too fast, he European-stepped the ball for a layup, he got to the end, and he hit the rebound under the basket..."

Boom, swish—!
Finish it quickly and call it a day.

In this round, Wade used his unbeatable physical talent to defeat Tan Yang and Josh Howard, the iron lock set by the failed alliance.

6 to 4! !
Tan Yang and Josh Howard looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

Could it be that Wade was selected with the 5th overall pick? With his physical talent, immediate combat ability, and solid foundational assets, he could still take a gamble despite the risk of injuries.

After all, Wade's upper limit is so tempting, it's simply unfathomable!
