The Fifth Point Guard

The playoffs finally kicked off.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference after the regular season, and they will face the challenge of the fifth Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference.

Both of these teams were still big teams in the Eastern Conference last season, and they can be said to be refreshed this season.

The Cavaliers' revitalization was expected by everyone.

The arrival of the potential Nets player, second in scoring list last year, and core member of the championship, the Cavaliers are highly anticipated.

Coupled with James, who is known as the once-in-five-year high school student, the current and future of the Cavaliers are full of unlimited imagination.

As for the rise of the Heat, it exceeded the expectations of many experts.

Except for Eddie Jones, who was forgotten in the Heat, the Heat did not have any other stars last season.

This season, Odom first accepted the Heat's offer and came to the warm Miami.

Of course, in addition to the quotation and the warm climate, the many bikini beauties in Miami Beach may also be one of the important reasons for Odom to come to the Heat.

Ralph Alston, Caron Butler, and Brian Grant are all good instant combat powers, but they can't affect the team's record.

Therefore, an important reason for the rise of the Heat is the arrival of Dwyane Wade, the fifth show this year.

In the regular season this season, Wade averaged 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. His performance was quite comprehensive. ,

Although destined to miss the best rookie, but Videto can be ranked behind James and Anthony.

This round of the series has not only attracted the attention of Cleveland and Miami, but also caused an upsurge in ratings in China.

This is because this series is not only a matchup between the two teams in the first round of the playoffs, but also a Chinese derby in the playoffs!

In the mid-season offseason, Chinese player Wang Zhizhi came to the Miami Heat from the Los Angeles Clippers and obtained a stable playing time.

Wang Zhizhi, who can play two positions in the interior, has gained the trust of the coach in the Heat team without a center. He averaged 15 minutes per game and is one of the team's important rotation players.

......

What Shen Tong did not expect in this round of the series was that in addition to the future teammate Wang Zhizhi of the national team, he also encountered a familiar guy.

Before the game.

Shen Tong looked at Woods with a stunned expression and asked, "Hey, Loren Woods? Why are you here?"

Woods said angrily: "Why, can't I play here?"

"So you found a job in Miami."

Woods nodded and said, "There is a lack of center, I will try."

"Well, work hard, remember to say hello to Gilbert Arenas when you are fishing."

"Fuck you, it's hard to tell who will kill you!"

In a hidden corner of the arena, a guy wearing a mask, a hoodie, a hoodie, and a thick gold chain on his neck sneezed heavily...

......

The first game of the first round of the series between the two teams is about to begin.

The starting lists of both sides in this game are:

Cavaliers: Ilgas, Boozer, James, Shentong, McGinnis;

Heat: Grant, Odom, Jones, Wade, Alston.

Before the game, Shentong and Wade shook hands and embraced each other.

"Shen, we will defeat you." Wade's challenge statement is very straightforward.

Shen Tong nodded and replied: "Practice well during the offseason. I will continue to wait for you next season."

The two smiled at each other.

Wade's cheeks bulged slightly, showing strong self-confidence and determination to win.

......

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Cavaliers gained the right to attack.

But the Heat showed strong defensive pressure from the first defense.

Odom, Jones, Wade, and Alston kept double-teaming and changing defenses in an attempt to confuse the Cavaliers' offense.

In fact, the Heat have studied the Cavaliers game video very seriously.

Although McGinnis averaged 6.1 assists per game this season, his performance and ability to resist pressure are not good when encountering double-teaming or pressing on the defensive end, and the Cavaliers' offense will also be affected.

The Cavaliers' first offense almost missed a 24 second violation.

Shentong shot at the buzzer and was lucky.

Although it was very embarrassing to be defended this round, Shen Tong's goal immediately caused the Gund Arena to cheer.

This season's Shentong is a halo of "scoring king", and his strong scoring ability no longer needs Kidd's help.

Although the team's record was suppressed by the Nets, Shentong at least proved that he can get enough points without Kidd.

In the blink of an eye, Wade, who used the screen to get rid of Shentong, has burst into the penalty area like lightning, and hit the ball with a backhand before the big Z started to block.

The score becomes 2-2.

"Come on, Shin, let me see what Michael taught you!"

The frequency of Wade's trash talk makes Shentong seem to understand why Wade has such a big cheek.

When I was young, I was always slapped and swollen because of trash talking.

But from Wade's words, Shentong heard two meanings.

One is that Wade has the confidence to defend himself in defense, and the other is that Jordan should have pointed him out, otherwise Wade would not know about himself and Jordan training in Miami during the offseason.

"Oh, Dwyane, although I am very grateful for your support during the All-Star Game, you are not yet qualified to challenge me."

Wade replied with a disdainful expression: "I don't think so, I think you dare not accept my challenge, right?"

Shen Tong smiled slightly and said, "I have many challenges, how old are you?"

As soon as the voice fell, Shentong had already started.

Wade's response was also very quick.

But Shentong didn't want to compete with Wade with speed.

After taking two steps in the dribble, Shentong suddenly stopped.

Although Wade immediately took a deep breath and puffed his cheeks, he still couldn't stop his steps.

When Shen Tong took off and shot, Wade had just stabilized his center of gravity.

"Huh."

Shentong's mid-range jumper has been practiced very steadily.

When returning to halftime, Shen Tong said to Wade next to him: "Dwyane, it was not your fault that the ball failed to prevent me just now. After all, I am an old driver and I have already practiced the level of sudden braking."

Wade: "...Old driver?"

......

In the first quarter, the Heat's main offensive force is not Wade, but Jones and Odom.

The overwhelming All-Star Jones played well in the first quarter. When facing James' defense, he relied on his fiery touch to make consecutive shots and caused serious damage to the Cavaliers.

James actually defended quite well when he was on the defensive position, but Jones, who was one size smaller, did not choose to fight James physically. Instead, he frequently shot cold arrows, which made James many times in vain.

Even before the end of the first quarter, James's cover was already attached to his fingertips. Jones was obviously deformed when he shot, relying on the high shot parabola to avoid James's cover.

Let me tell you, the book-chasing app I'm using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] cache reading, offline reading!

But even so, the ball still passed through the net.

Odom also used his height advantage and half-turned hook shots to hit Boozer several times in the first quarter.

Although Boozer's physical strength can make up for his height disadvantage to a certain extent, he has nowhere to vent in the face of a player with comprehensive and detailed skills like Odom.

After the first quarter, Shentong scored 10 points in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers trailed the Heat by 4 points 22-26.

During the inter-festival break, Shen Tong sat on a chair and said to James beside him: "LeBron, the feel like Eddie's today is something you can't guard against..."

The feeling of a shooter has the most say.

In fact, Shentong also had this kind of performance by Jones, and it felt like he could make a throw with his back to the basket. In this case, the shooter was completely unstoppable.

"...But there is another way to reduce Eddie's offensive performance."

James leaned his head and listened very carefully.

"That is to use offense instead of defense. When you put strong pressure on him on the offensive end and make him spend part of his energy and stamina on defense, then his investment on the offensive end will definitely be affected, and it will even affect him. The shooting feel."

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas, who heard Shentong's dialogue with James, agreed with Shentong's words.

"LeBron, lads, Shin was right. I also noticed that Eddie Jones played very well today, so we must change our play in the second quarter..."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers passed a series of transfers and returned the ball to James at the top of the arc.

After Shentong attracted the Heat's double-team defense, he passed the ball accurately to James.

The latter pretended to shoot, tricked Jones, and then used bulldozer-like technology to rush into the Heat's restricted area.

......

James looked at the basket with one step, two steps, three steps, and four steps.

Look at one, two, three, or four defensive players.

Put on the basket and silently make a wish.

See if the referee's eyes are visible.

Pray that he will not blow.

......

James's four-step layup escaped the referee's eyes.

Watching James take two steps, the take-off was empty and Grant, who was waiting to cover James, jumped into the air.

Because this guy actually took two more steps and then threw the ball easily into the basket.

"Doesn't this girl walk?" the angry Grant complained immediately.

The referee stared.

This guy immediately softened.

After all, it was on the away game, and James' four-step layup was indeed innocent at first glance.

......

After a lucky one, James' second personal offense was completely dependent on strength.

Drive Jones with strong biceps, with an Odom hanging on his body. James still broke into the penalty area against the Heat's defensive players. He scored the ball and caused a defensive foul by the Heat. He scored 2+. 1!

As James made a free throw, the Cavaliers, who changed their tactics, immediately surpassed the score.

Jones wanted to retaliate against James with outside shots, but this time, his shots came out of the basket.

The tactics of attacking instead of defending and consuming opponents are effective!

......

In order to make the effect better.

When James once again pushed Jones into the penalty area and caused a foul, James raised his arm and showed his arm muscles in front of the fans in Gund Arena.

Such a high-profile show being ignored by a rookie player made Jones a little irritated.

He thought of Kobe, who drove himself to the Heat.

It is also a high school student draft, and it is also a favorite of heaven.

If it weren't for Kobe, I am afraid that O'Neal is partnering with him, and he also believes that he is not worse than Kobe.

With O'Neal, he may also be able to win three consecutive championships, rather than in the heat and namelessness.

So, full of anger, Jones stepped forward and slammed James with his shoulder.

James is not easy to provoke, not to mention that this is the home court of the Cavaliers.

James and Jones, who were hit, immediately put their heads on their heads and greeted each other's parents.

The referee and teammates hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

But James was very uncommon, and he was reluctant to say anything, which caused Jones to be very dissatisfied.

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy immediately called a timeout in order to keep the players calm. After all, this is Cleveland, not Miami.

If things get into trouble, it must be their enthusiasm who can't eat it.

......

After resting on the bench for a while, coupled with the coach's warning, Jones finally calmed down.

But when he returned to the court, Jones's fiery touch in the first quarter could no longer come back.

Shen Tong took advantage of the impact of the Heat and led the team to score points again and again, and the difference between the two sides quickly opened to 10 points.

Wade's progress is obvious to all, and he even staged a 2+1 brilliant goal in a strong beat Shentong.

However, in the next round, Shentong immediately returned a shot from beyond the three-point line.

After the first half, the Cavaliers overtook the score, with a score of 54-45, a 9-point difference.

......

In the second half, the tactics of the lagging Heat on the away game changed again~www.ltnovel.com~ They replaced Ralph Alston, who was not in line with the rhythm of this game, and put Wade in the first position. Jones Played the second position and replaced Caron Butler at the same time to strengthen the offense.

Butler was a rookie player last season. In his rookie season, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He looks like a rising star in the future.

But by this season, Butler's numbers have fallen instead of rising.

He averaged only 9.2 points, 4, 8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

But when it comes to outside shooting, in addition to Butler, the Heat really can't find a second guy who can entrust an important job on the outside.

After changing the position, Wade began to harass McGinnis frequently.

Wade's speed was already very fast, and Shentong had to be careful when confronting him, not to mention McGinnis.

Especially when the Cavaliers attacked, McGinnis was almost unable to organize the attack by Wade.

As a result, the Cavaliers violated a 24 second violation and a pass was intercepted in an attack.

The Heat seized these two opportunities and they all finished.

Suddenly, the outcome became unpredictable again.

After Wade once again broke the ball from McGinnis and made a one-handed dunk, Cavaliers coach Silas couldn't help calling a timeout.

......

The pause is over and come back.

Wade saw his opponent change.

Da Juan Wagner.

"What? It turned out to be a slightly faster guy." Wade thought.

Who knew that when the Cavaliers scored halftime, Wagner took the initiative to hand the ball out.

Standing at the top of the arc with the ball instructing his teammates to move, it turned out to be James.
