Heat legend Alonzo Moenin once said: "When you think of a defensive player who can do all the dirty and tiring work, that is Yudunis. You want to implant this gene into every young player who has just entered the NBA."

Xie Kai likes players like Haslem very much, loyal, tough, focused, and conscientious... He may not have the talent to become the No. 1 pick, but he has tried hard to make him one of the totems of this team.

As every NBA player, he actually wants to find a "home", and Haslem's home is in the Heat. Even a president like Riley, who is uninformed, will not let him go easily. Such a player is really rare.

Haslem was a fat man back then, but later he was considered a successful weight loss and became one of the representatives of the league's inspirational brothers. He was only 203 tall, but he was strong enough and sometimes he could withstand many center players at a low post.

It is not easy for the Black Bear to beat Haslem, but he is one size bigger than the opponent after all, and when he has an absolute advantage in strength and body shape, it is almost a dislocation.

Yu Jia said: "Haslem is at a disadvantage in defending Randolph's height and weight. Both of the Heat's inside sizes are one size smaller than the Double Bears."

James came to assist in defense, and the Black Bear immediately made the ball. After two moves, the White Bear got a chance and made a jump shot - missed!

Bo won the rebound and completed the task of the first board.

The Heat attacked, and made a jump shot from a high position, narrowing the gap to 5:3!

Director Zhang commented: "Bosh and Haslem both have height disadvantages when defending the Grizzlies' inside, but they have their own advantages on the offensive end and they can both shoot, which also puts higher requirements on the Grizzlies' defense."

This was the first goal of the Heat in this game. The cheers of fans at the scene instantly ignited the atmosphere in the stadium.

Two championship flags are hung over the stadium, symbolizing the glory of this team. Fans are looking forward to seeing the third such flag appear here.

Conley dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the arc.

Xie Kai cut out and received the ball, and Wade suddenly intercepted the ball!

Wade strikes back and James advances at full speed!

Xie Kai and Kangli returned to defense at full speed!

The fans in the stands were already screaming because the "Jane Wai line" was right in front of us!

Wade sprinted forward and threw the ball into the air - James jumped high!

But Xie Kai caught up in the middle, grabbed Love with his sword and confiscated the ball directly!

The home team fans in the stands sighed and felt a third party appear!

Xie Kai immediately distributed the ball to Conley and then fought back!

Yu Jia exclaimed: "Xie Kai's steal is so beautiful. James is ready to take the air relay!"

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Xie Kai returned to defend and steal in time, making up for Kang Li's pass mistake just now."

James and Wei returned to defense very quickly, and the Grizzlies could not easily play fast attacks.

The Heat's defensive rotation is very fast, and there is no big center guard or top defense in the interior. They have ranked last in the league in defensive rebounds throughout the season, but even so, they still scored 27 consecutive victories and still achieved the league's first record, which shows how good their offense and defense are.

The rhythm of the Grizzlies playing against the Heat is very similar to their Western Conference Finals. They are sharpening their positions and not starting up quickly. At the same time, when attacking, the two bears are fighting for all their strength to grab the frontcourt rebounds, limiting their opponents to start up and fight back.

The Heat's backcourt rebounds are weak, so they cannot easily make it. In order to protect the backcourt rebounds, the players of the team need to work hard. In this way, the conversion speed will be reduced.

The Grizzlies' rhythm was well controlled, which surprised the Heat. This was not like a rookie team that reached the finals for the first time, but like a traditional strong team.

The Heat easily connects the Grizzlies and the Thunder. Last season's Thunder was also a young team. Durant and others made it to the finals for the first time, but they were bullied by the experienced Heat.

But what the Heat don’t know is that compared to the third young master, Xie Kai and Kangli’s two backcourt engines are much younger and older. Not to mention experienced veterans like Black Bear and Old Prince.

In the first quarter, the score difference between the two teams was not big. The Grizzlies played slowly and the Heat didn't play fast, so the scores of both sides were also low. This was in line with the consistent tone of the finals - a defensive battle. Although the league has been advocating offense, everyone knows that offense will be inaccurate and defense will not deceive themselves.

Defensively wins the championship!

Xie Kai did not leave the court for a break when he was halfway through the first quarter. He played until more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter before he left the court for a break. Conley played the full first quarter.

Xie Kai's performance in the first quarter was still very good, making 3 of 5 shots, 1 of 3 points, 3 free throws, 3 free throws, 10 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Wade, who faced him, performed 2 of 5 shots, scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

At least from the first quarter, Xie Kai suppressed Wade in his performance.

The Heat's rotation focuses on a small shooter lineup, led by James, with four players, Ray Allen, President, Mike Miller and Norris Cole, playing "one-star shot". The highest lineup is James of 203...

Of course, the Grizzlies' rotation lineup is not high, and Ed Davis, who plays center, is less than 210, and is very thin...

This is also the reason why the Heat dared to replace the Birdman early. After all, with Ed Davis and Arthur's ability to attack in the inside, there is still no problem with James and the President.

The Grizzlies also made adjustments, reducing their rotation, not allowing the general to play, but letting Xie Kai serve as the point guard in the second lineup, with the remaining four people being Ed Davis, Arthur, Ellington and Quincy Pondsett.

Obviously, the Grizzlies arranged this way to let Pondsett, who played very little in the playoffs, go to the second lineup, with the purpose of letting him deal with James.

Pondsett is not a top defender on the front line, but he is a serious small forward in the Grizzlies and one of the few players who can match James in terms of body shape. If they follow their previous rotation, then Xie Kai or Ellington will have to fight against James. The size gap is too big, and the defensive effect may not be ideal.

The intention of the Grizzlies coaching staff is very simple: don't ask you to defend against James, just don't let him play too easily. If you can consume him and delay his attack, then you will be considered a successful completion of the task.
Chapter completed!
