The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The Heat handed the ball directly to James, and James singled Leonard.

Leonard defended very hard, but was almost carried by James to the basket to score.

In 12 years, James has reached the peak of his strength. Anyone who is against him is almost a misalignment. Facing Leonard, George and others, he can easily rush into the inside with strength, but if he is facing an inside player with a heavier tonnage than him , you can use the speed to get rid of the opponent.

Since the center of the Heat is Bosh at this time, he has a shooting range beyond the three-point line. Anti-teaming players.

Even in the season when the Spurs won the championship in 2014, Leonard, who won the FMVP, was still in a situation of being unilaterally blown up in the matchup with James.

In the five games with a total score of 4:1, James averaged 28.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57%.

Leonard averaged only 17.8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

It can be said that Leonard's best defense against James in the entire series is that through one-on-one defense, it perfectly limits James' ability to support passes.

The average of 4 assists per game is far lower than James' assists in the playoffs of his career, which also makes it impossible for other Heat players to get James' assistance.

Wade had 15 points, Bosh had 14 points and Ray Allen had 9 points. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the Heat could beat the Spurs.

The tactics Wang Xiao arranged for Leonard were the same as those of the Spurs. He tried his best to consume James on the defensive end, and at the same time cut off James' connection with other players. No matter how strong James is alone, it is impossible to play the entire game.

For the Wizards, Curry and Thompson are the two main players in the backcourt. Chalmers is still awkward at this point. He can’t keep an eye on Curry, and it’s even more unplayable to switch defenses with Wade to watch Thompson. Thompson is 2 The big shooter of Mi 01.

As long as Chalmers defends anyone, he will play singles.

After half a day of choice, the Heat decided to defend Curry and put Thompson. After all, Curry is a super scorer averaging 32 points per game in the regular season, while Thompson averaged only a dozen points per game in the regular season.

It's a pity that they don't know who will hold the league's scoring record in a single quarter in the future.

Thompson, who scored 37 points in less than 12 minutes, was no worse than Kurt.

Thompson, who is still in the first-year rookie stage, is not as strong as the future, but after practicing under the training bonus of Wang Xiao's training system for a whole season, Thompson's improvement speed must not be underestimated.

When Chalmers stood in front of him to defend, Thompson almost did not hesitate to catch the ball directly from the outside and make a three-pointer.

Chalmers, who is 1.88 meters tall, obviously did not expect Thompson to be so decisive. He jumped up and tried to interfere, but in front of him was Thompson, who was 2.01 meters high, and Thompson's shot was extremely fast. In front of Thompson's eyes, the basketball has already leaped into the air.

"brush!"

The basketball hits the net with precision, and there is no noise other than the crisp netting sound.

5:2!

Standing on the sidelines, Wang Xiao twitched his mouth slightly.

It seems that Thompson is feeling hot today.

In the transition of offense and defense, the Heat still play James.

The Wizards also continued to use Leonard's single defense.

In the same way, James once again used his strength to squeeze into the inside, hit the rebound and score.

Wang Xiao didn't care about James scoring at all, and even wished that he would consume more energy in the first half of the game, so that he was exhausted in the final quarter.

The Wizards' offensive scoring is much easier than that of the Heat.

After the offensive and defensive transition, the Wizards took advantage of George's speed advantage at the power forward, asked Bass to defend, and scored an air cut layup.

In the first quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides rose alternately. The Wizards did not explode a wave of powerful offenses and directly opened up the point difference, and the Heat also failed to do so.

The first quarter of the two sides ended at 26:27, and the Wizards led by 1 point.

James scored 14 points in the first quarter, shooting 64% from the field, very efficient.

But following this quarter, James began to deliberately put away the beating.

The high-frequency output in the first quarter made him feel that the situation was not good. Under Leonard's defense, although his offensive efficiency was the same as before, the energy and physical strength needed to score were much greater than usual. The rookie is indeed difficult to deal with, and even more difficult than in the regular season.

In the second quarter, the Heat focused their main offense on Wade and Bosh.

The result was not good.

Thompson's defensive ability can be ranked third in the Wizards, second only to Leonard and George. With a height of 2.01 meters, he can be said to have an advantage in the position of shooting guard, and he is very good in single defense and defense. The only thing he is afraid of is players who simply use their speed to break through. After all, his speed can only be ranked in the middle among defenders.

Wade in his peak period can undoubtedly penetrate Thompson, and passing him is as easy as passing a tree stump.

But in 12 years, Wade is already at the end of his peak, and his knee injury has made his explosive power not as good as before, and his playing style and method are completely different from those at his peak.

Now Wade has reduced the number of times he hits the rim and increased the number of mid-range and long-range jumpers. When breaking through, he mainly relies on the time difference between the pick-and-roll and rhythm changes, rather than using his speed to pass the opponent in one step.

Although Thompson is only a rookie in the first year, because he has two defensive experts, Leonard and George, his defensive experience is not bad at all, and even if he is slightly out of position, relying on his height and wingspan, he can still play against Wade. Shooting caused some interference, so Wade's offensive efficiency is not high, the shooting rate is only maintained at about 43%, and the number of shots is not many.

In contrast, Bosh's offensive environment is slightly better, but it is not that strong. After all, he is facing JaVale McGee. McGee is good at relying on speed and bouncing to block shots. Opponents, McGee often suffers a lot when facing a traditional large-tonnage insider, because he can't support the opponent's insider footsteps, but it is much easier to face a type of insider like Bosh.

In front of McGee, Bosh, who is the main power forward, can't even squeeze into the paint. He can only catch and shoot from the outside.

What makes Heat coach Spoelstra even more restless is that in the two quarters, he found that the team seemed to have a particularly difficult time protecting rebounds. McGee could always appear at the point of the rebound, and then Grabbing offensive rebounds, two quarters, this guy who failed to average double figures in regular season rebounds actually grabbed 4 offensive rebounds! George and Leonard each had 1 offensive rebound.

That's a full 6 offensive rebounds!
