Chapter 451: The inside advantage is obvious

The Black Bears made two free throws and the Grizzlies led 4:2!

Chalmers dribbled over and passed it to Wade.

Wade missed the matchup and Turiaf came out to cover.

When defending a player like Wade, Xie will use the method of bypassing the screen. Because once he tries to squeeze through the screen, as long as he is slightly delayed by the opponent's screen for 0.5 seconds, with Wade's speed and explosiveness, it is likely that he will not be able to catch up.

superior.

The Grizzlies' defensive approach is to prioritize protecting the inside, so their big men rarely participate in switching defenses. If a player like the Black Bears switches to guard Wade, unless he takes two steps away from his opponent, the sight of being passed by one step will be very gratifying.

Wade doesn't shoot. As one of the top 2 positions in the league, shooting has never been his real killer trick. If there is anything that is his weakness, it is mid-to-long-range shooting, especially long-range shooting. Whether it is CS (catch-and-shoot)

) or shooting with the ball, he is not particularly accurate and relies heavily on touch.

So from the nature of basketball, as good friends, James and Wade are not actually a perfect match. There are too many similarities in their playing styles, and the threats they pose with and without the ball are too different.

Wade walked in with the ball, faced Xie Kai who was running around the screen, walked cross-step to the baseline, then turned around, leaned against Xie Kai, squeezed some space, and shot a fadeaway jumper...

Xie Kai sticks very close to him and uses his height advantage to interfere with the opponent's shots - blacksmithing!

The Black Bear collected the rebound and handed it to Gay to advance!

Gay came over with the ball, faced James' defensive breakthrough, and then passed it to Xie Kai on the outside.

Xie Kai holds the ball and walks in the middle to score the Black Bear under the basket!

The black bear rises up - misses!

Xie Kai's volley tip-in was blocked by James!

The White Bear caught the ball and split it with Conley at the top of the arc, who took a 3-point shot - hit!

The Grizzlies lead 7:2!

Heat timeout!

The Heat fans in the stands were not as cheerful as they were at the start. The home team of the Big Three was being beaten by the opponent. It seemed that the home team was completely unable to score in the paint. What the hell is this?

"Miami is shut down!" Kenny Smith said.

Barkley smiled: "Believe it or not, Memphis' lineup is indeed a bit inferior to Miami."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "Do I believe it or not? Isn't it obvious? Memphis has an excellent inside line and good defense. It is not easy for LeBron and Dwyane to break through. They must be limited!"

"The main reason is that Miami's starting lineup lacks shooters. They asked Chris to move to the high post. Indeed, if he goes to the low post again, there will really be no space!" Barkley explained.

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

The Heat cooperated many times at the top of the arc. James passed the ball to Turiaf under the basket in seconds, and the latter succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!

7:4!

Heat fans finally saw the home team scoring regularly and gave them warm applause.

Conley dribbled over, worked with his sister-in-law on the top of the key screen, and passed it to Xie Kai in the bottom corner.

Facing Wade's defense, Xie Kai breaks through the baseline and points to Gay on the other side.

Gay takes a jumper - strike!

James closes the board and advances!

But Xie Kai intercepted James' ball from behind!

"LeBron is careless!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.

Xie Kai did not stop and found the Black Bear who had not returned to defense with one hit. The latter dunked successfully with one hand under the basket!

There was a long sigh from the stands——

James also told his teammates that it was his fault and that he had not done a good job!

9:4, the Grizzlies lead by 5 points! Thanks for the first assist of the game!

"LeBron blocked Kane just now. This time Kane stole LeBron. It was a kind of response!" Kenny Smith laughed.

"Kane is really serious about playing, I've always said that," Barkley said.

"Hey - you don't hate him anymore?" Kenny Smith asked as if he had discovered a new world.

Barkley laughed: "I don't hate anyone. I was willing to admit defeat before!"

Chalmers dribbled over and passed it to Wade.

Wade faces Xie Kai!

Fans in the stands exclaimed, they wanted to see Wade pass away.

Facing Xie Kai, Wade stepped back with his hips and thrust with his right hand. His speed is no longer as fast as when he led the team to win the championship in 2006, but he has a lot of tendons and excellent rhythm. As long as he doesn't encounter that kind of

A particularly strong No. 2 player, he has a confrontation advantage.

Even though Xie Kai worked hard on his strength during last year's offseason and gained several pounds of muscle, he still found it difficult to face Wade head-on.

Fortunately, Wade's speed is no longer as fast as his peak, so Xie Kai can keep defending in front of the opponent and not be run over by the opponent at once.

Wade went all the way to the basket, causing Xie Kai's foul!

"DW wanted to take advantage of Kane alone on this shot. He wanted to go for a layup, but the opponent's defense was tight, so he drew a foul!" Kenny Smith explained.

Wade made one of two free throws and the Black Bears grabbed the rebound.

9:5!

For the Grizzlies, Xie opened the right wing to hold the ball, and cooperated with Xiao Jia's wife, holding the ball to the upper line, and distributed it to Xiao Jia's wife who was down the line.

The little sister-in-law turned around passionately and squeezed Bosh away, throwing him into the frame!

11:5, thanks for the second assist of this game!

"Although Chris defended Mark, there was still a big gap between the two in terms of strength and tonnage!" Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said: "Chris was born at the 4th position. Although he is close to 7 feet tall, he is a slender inside man. He will suffer from strength and weight when competing with real big centers in the low post."

"If it were you, could you handle him in the low post?" Kenny Smith asked deliberately.

Barkley seemed very confident: "I'm not as tall as Zach and Mark, but I believe I can beat Chris in the low post. If you don't believe it, go check out my game videos!"

Kenny Smith certainly believed that although Barkley often spoke wildly when he became a commentator, if we just talk about his ability in the NBA, there are really not many people who can withstand his big ass in the low post.

On the Heat's side, James rushes to the inside and joins Chalmers on the outside!

Chalmers scored again with Bosh in the high post.

Bosh tried a jumper - still no!

The Black Bears collected the rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.

The little sister-in-law received a pass from her teammate in the paint and hit the hook!

13:5, the score difference was widened to 8 points!

The Heat pause again!

"Memphis has a very clear idea, which is to play inside and hit the opponent's pain points. The players on the outside are not reckless. This is indeed worthy of encouragement!" Barkley said.

"Miami should make a substitution, right? There is a lack of containment on the outside. The opponent shrinks smaller and smaller, completely blocking the penalty area. Neither LeBron nor Dwyane can break through!" Kenny Smith said.
Chapter completed!
