NBA: Starting with James Harden

Based on the performance in the first half, Li Zhen felt that he had underestimated the Heat. After all, they have a superstar at the SS level.

A superstar means that he can win the game by himself.

As long as Wade goes crazy, it is not a big surprise to beat the Mavericks...........

Even though Li Zhen scored 23 points in a single quarter and got a guaranteed contract, it still did not change Li Zhen's identity as the eighth and ninth man on the Mavericks. The

Mavericks' rotation lineup is very deep, and Carlisle has too many choices.

Li Zhen did not have 1 minute of playing time in the first half.

The team locker room.

Carlisle arranged the tactics for the second half.

At the end of the tactical arrangement, Carlisle said to Li Zhen:"Li, you will start in the second half and play SG. You can do some singles with the ball, but don't stick to the ball too much. Barea, Dampier, Marion, Dirk, you also play."

Carlisle did not forget Li Zhen, but he needed to gradually increase Li Zhen's playing time and train Li Zhen slowly.

Li Zhen got the chance to start in the third quarter, but this time he had to face Wade?

It's a bit of a pit.

Wade scored 24 points in the first half, and Li Zhen felt that he was going to be abused.

"Li, don't be afraid of your opponent when you go to the court, and try your best to defend and attack."Barea said to Li Zhen with passion:"You know what? I wasn't as lucky as you before. I sat on the bench for a long time before I had the opportunity to play. I know the coach values you very much, so you have to work harder to perform well."

Li Zhen nodded and replied:"Well, I know."

Barea's words were very positive, but Li Zhen could feel the cruel side of the NBA.

When Li Zhen watched the NBA before, he could only see the glory of the super giants, and always felt that so-and-so was not good, and so-and-so was too bad.

Li Zhen now understands that in addition to the super giants, there are many supporting roles.

Many NBA substitutes have very little playing time, and they have very few opportunities to perform. If they don't perform well in the few minutes they play, they may not have a chance.

Under such pressure, it is normal to perform abnormally.

Li Zhen also felt a lot of pressure to have a good performance against Wade in such a hurry.

However Li Zhen has never been a person who fears challenges. He actually finds it a bit exciting.

Wanting to play against Wade and possibly getting a big gift package, Li Zhen is looking forward to the game even more.

Li Zhen is very confident in this confrontation.

The third quarter started.

The Mavericks' starting lineup is Barea, Li Zhen, Marion, Nowitzki, and Dampier.

Their outside players are substitutes, and their inside players are starters. The Heat's side has a uniform starting lineup.

Spoelstra's personnel adjustment is not as bold as Carlisle's. He is still conservative. The starters in the third quarter are the starters.

The first attack of the third quarter was the Heat's ball possession.

Chalmers' dribbling forward.

The Heat's personnel positions are not complicated. O'Neal Wade was blocking the inside, Beasley was trying to cut inside from the outside, and Wade was running to receive the ball with the help of his teammates' screen.

Chalmers passed the ball to Wade.

Wade was the starting point of the Heat's tactics.

In the second quarter, Wade enjoyed the benefits of personal offense, and now he was just thinking about how to carry out personal attacks.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Wade looked at Li Zhen in front of him who was defending him seriously with his arms open, and smiled.

Wade's smile seemed disdainful to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen didn't care, he still looked at Wade's ball handler very seriously.

Being able to defend and being willing to defend are two different things. Li Zhen felt that he needed to do his best to defend!

Li Zhen weighs 100 kg. kilograms, heavier than Wade, he is not afraid to confront Wade directly.

But his speed is slightly worse than Wade.

Wade's consecutive tentative steps did not shake Li Zhen off, and he somewhat admired the rookie's positive attitude.

How should he educate the rookie who was praised by Le Brun?

Wade was thinking about the offensive method.

Li Zhen didn't dare to defend too close to avoid being passed by one step.

Soon, Wade began to change direction dribbling at a high frequency, and sweat appeared on Li Zhen's forehead.

Wade's pressure on Li Zhen was really transmitted.

Li Zhen swayed with Wade's body swaying.

Wade changed direction suddenly, at a very fast speed and with a large stride.

Li Zhen's body instinctively moved sideways.

""Bang!"

Wade collided with Li Zhen's body.

Wade's body is very strong among guards, but today he did not have too much advantage when he met Li Zhen.

He did not expect Li Zhen to be so talented and have good defensive awareness.

The difference between Wade and West is that Wade firmly protected the ball, and when his body lost balance, Wade also took advantage of the situation to pull back from his crotch. After speeding up again on the right side, Wade passed Li Zhen on the right side.

When Wade passed Li Zhen, his speed was not that strong, and Dampier and Nowitzki quickly made up for the defense.

Li Zhen himself immediately chased after Wade!

The Mavericks' three-man double-team attacked Wade, and Li Zhen's defense against Wade was only the first line of defense....

""Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Carlisle is awesome, isn't he afraid of Wade passing the ball?

Wade did want to pass the ball, but failed.

After Li Zhen came over, three people double-teamed Wade.

The basketball was hit by Li Zhen's sideways hand.

Although Li Zhen's defense is not very good, this kind of cut is still very awesome.

The ball was lost, and Dampier quickly controlled the ball.

Finally, Wade's breakthrough was prevented.

The fans at the scene also cheered immediately.

Dampier passed the ball to Li Zhen who was nearby, and Li Zhen immediately took the ball and rushed forward with big strides.

The only one who returned to defense for the Heat was Chalmers, and Beasley didn't want to chase this kind of ball at all.

One-on-one in the frontcourt.

Chalmers kept retreating, and Li Zhen attacked with the ball.

Li Zhen rushed across the free throw line, and then used a European step to hold the ball with both hands and swept over Chalmers' head and easily made a layup!!

50 to 52.
