Chapter 46 A flash of inspiration, one-stage shooting, the strongest outside duo in history
Dwyane Wade returned to the bench, LeBron James ran over and patted him on the head, and coach Spoelstra reminded him not to be impatient... These subtle actions reminded the nine-year general manager of the league.
The finals mvp just suffered a defeat.
Flash Wade is the patron saint of the American Airlines Center. He once creatively reversed the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals. At that time, he was like a vigorous lion constantly attacking to expand his territory.
But now, although no one can remove him from the league's top five discussion list. But his arrogant self-esteem has indeed been tempered with age, and he told LeBron that it is okay.
There will always be times when things go wrong in a long career, and Wade has been able to accept them calmly.
Moreover, from the fact that he took the initiative to cut his salary and opened his arms to welcome the arrival of two other superstars, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, it can be seen that winning is the most important thing.
This is why when he first challenged Fan Xi to a duel, he said that Jack only had three chances.
Now that the three duels have ended, even though he was defeated, he was defeated by the rising rookie.
But he didn't intend to continue this one-on-one fight.
Victory is what he pursues, and as the All-Star weekend approaches, this victory becomes even more important.
He hopes to send Spoelstra, the head coach who has grown up with him since his debut, to the Eastern All-Star head coach's seat... According to convention, only the head coach of the team with the best half-time record can win this honor.
Therefore, when Spoelstra was arranging tactics, he said: Don't worry about my feelings, act according to the original plan, let us move, and drown the decadent Lakers in the fast break wave of the new era.
Spoelstra admired Dwyane Wade's maturity in his heart. He felt that Wade had entered a new field.
Wade thinks so too. He no longer cares about the results of an offense and defense. What he wants is an overall victory.
He felt that this was what made him better than that rookie. He was always clear-headed and always wanted to take the biggest piece of cake.
As for the layup just now, what's the significance?
As long as the Miami Heat win, no one is touting the underdog's in-game highlights.
Spoelstra deployed new tactics. He let Haslem return to the game and threw the old and slow Ilgauskas to the end of the bench... The league's number one giant has moved towards the end of his career.
At the end of the day, the tide of the times is rolling in, and this kind of clumsy tall center is getting less and less valued. What's more, Ilgauskas' athletic ability is still so out of tune with the team.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
The game continues.
In addition to replacing Ilgauskas with Haslem, who is better at running and mid-range shooting, the Heat also replaced No. 1, former Kings core point guard Mike Bibby, nicknamed the White Devil.
Replaced by Mario Chalmers.
Mike Bibby is given high hopes, and coach Spoelstra hopes that the experienced veteran can curb Fanshie's footsteps.
Mike Bibby, who claims to be one-eighth Chinese ancestry, is a strong and smart player. In 2002, the Kings had an inseparable battle with the ok team, and he was the second-biggest contributor.
When facing a player who is stronger than him, he will use his smart brain to defeat the opponent. When the opponent is not as strong as him, he will use his body. His outside shooting is very accurate, and his shot speed is amazing, especially after the pick-and-roll.
Mid-range jump shot...he almost killed the Los Angeles Lakers with this move.
Mike Bibby came to the frontcourt with the ball.
Fan Xi came to him, he opened his arms and looked at this long-famous opponent.
Mike Bibby didn't have many fancy moves, he quickly passed the basketball to LeBron James.
James faced the defense of Matt Barnes. He used his body to rush inward quickly. At the same time, Wade was using Haslem's screen to bypass Kobe's defense. Although Kobe was keen to capture this...but
Or he escaped.
Wade and James stepped into the paint at the same time, giving Pau Gasol a difficult challenge.
He himself is not a strong defender. He completely lost the opportunity to defend while swinging left and right, and watched helplessly as James completed the attack with a chop.
Kobe Bryant shook his head in disappointment.
If it were him in the past, he would yell at Pau Gasol. He cannot tolerate teammates who lose their position. But now, he has learned to accept: Since he enjoys Pau Gasol's versatility on the offensive end, he must accept Gasol's defensive performance.
Endless weakness.
Fan Xi received the basketball, increased his speed and reached the frontcourt.
Mike Bibby blocked in front of him, and he quickly defended, using his strong body to squeeze Fan Xi's space... His action was not to strangle Fan Xi, but to block him from the enemy.
The connection between Kobe Bryant.
Experienced players always do this. They don't try to destroy an opponent, but to block some kind of tactical connection.
Kobe Bryant is also experiencing the entanglement of Dwyane Wade. Wade sticks to Kobe like candy, and the two top two shooting guards in the league are entangled like fighting Rams.
Spoelstra watched everything happening on the court with satisfaction, and he believed that he would achieve tactical success.
But... Phew!
Fan Xi turned around quickly and threw Mike Bibby aside.
Mike Bibby's heavy and old thighs could no longer keep up with his thinking, and he was unable to pursue Fan Xi's pace. He could only watch as Fan Xi entered the penalty area like lightning.
The Heat watched Vanhey fly away, and their defense was in crisis.
Their past experience told him that as long as Kobe was contained on the outside and Gasol was locked up on the inside, everything would fall into place.
But now, Fan Xi told them: No way!
Haslem had to passively move laterally, and when he took a step forward, Fanshie hit the ground from under his crotch with a dramatic pass, piercing his defense... This was a funny and full of
A teasing pass.
It indicates that Fan Xi not only understands his defensive actions, but also accurately judges his route based on his IQ advantage... It's like a skilled hunter standing leisurely on the grass smoking while an angry cheetah dives into his side.
trap.
The moment Haslem was crotched, he felt truly humiliated.
The screams from the audience made the striker, who was over 30 years old, feel very angry.
Behind him, Lamar Odom had already received a wonderful pass. Facing the unguarded basket, he easily jumped up and dunked to complete the attack.
The Lakers dunked back.
Spoelstra's expression was even uglier than those sighing fans.
He must now accept a new proposition: Jack Fan becomes the third player besides Kobe and Gasol. Neither Kobe nor Gasol participated in the attack just now.
Haslem glared at Fan Xi fiercely, and warned Fan Xi sternly: "Boy, you will pay a heavy price for angering me."
Fan Xi raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, and told the angry tall man: "Don't take such a big step when you defend next time. I can't guarantee that I can pass through the crotch accurately every time. If I get hit,
Your balls...hiss."
Fan Xi made a gasping expression.
Haslem's heart trembled subconsciously, and he hated this rookie even more.
But he had nothing to do with Fan Xi.
Dwyane Wade took the initiative to launch a fast offensive. He rushed forward very quickly, and Miami's mobility was fully demonstrated.
When Wade faced Matt Barnes' change of defense, he changed direction with a sudden and decisive gesture. Fanshey quickly changed defense, but he didn't know that Wade had already passed the basketball to Mike Bibby at the top of the key.
Mike Bibby could no longer jump high or run fast at this time, but his shooting speed was faster than when he was young. Although Fan Xi blocked the shot immediately, he still couldn't withstand Mike Bibby's sudden shot... Whoops!
Three-point hit.
The American Airlines Center was in jubilation.
Mike Bibby walked back expressionlessly.
At this time, Fan Xi was thinking about Bibby's shooting posture just now.
Bibby's shooting was done in one go, with almost no pause, as if the force of the shot and the force of his feet on the ground were integrated.
Fan Xi seemed to have caught something secretly.
He remembered what Stephen Curry said to him before.
At that time, Curry was studying new shooting methods. He told Fan Xi... For a guard like me who can't run fast, jump high, and is not strong yet, I can only improve my shooting method. I must compete with those traditional point guards.
Separated from each other, they pursue the stability of shooting after confrontation, so they use two-stage power shooting. My hand-eye coordination is very strong, so I have to take advantage of this and make one-stage power shooting.
At that time, Fanxi and Curry studied and practiced.
However, Curry is making rapid progress, his three-point shots are getting faster and more accurate day by day, and he has become the top shooter in the NCAA.
However, because of Fan Xi's poor coordination ability, his one-step shooting is like imitating a cat and imitating a tiger instead of a dog, which is neither fish nor fowl.
But things are different now.
Fanshie's coordination talent has reached the top level in history. Mike Bibby's three-pointer inspired him. He felt that he could also give it a try to increase the damage of his shots with the ball.
When Fan Xi came to the frontcourt while thinking, Mike Bibby came up again aggressively.
Fanshi immediately made a quick change of direction, his body cutting through Mike Bibby's old ankle like lightning, and quickly dodged his defense.
When Fan Xi's eyes widened, he saw from the corner of his eye that Kobe was almost being held up by Wade.
LeBron James stared at the direction of the penalty area, as if waiting for him to enter the paint area at any time, and then block the shot from behind.
At this moment, Fanshi no longer had any hesitation. He jumped directly and shot... and he used a one-step shot that he had painstakingly studied with Stephen Curry at Davidson College... The basketball drew a beautiful arc.
boom!
Hit the front of the basket.
However, the arc of the basketball's inward rotation is relatively small. When the penalty area was crowded and even LeBron James rushed in to grab the rebound, the basketball fell into the basket again... Whoops!
Three points!
Fan Xi returned the favor.
When everyone in the American Airlines Center sighed, Old Winter clenched his fist and waved it fiercely on the bench.
He said to Phil Jackson: "Have you ever found the feeling of when Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were racing around the league? Will Jack and Kobe become the second-best perimeter duo in history?"
Phil Jackson smiled.
He didn't answer.
The league has been saying recently that "Wade and James" will surpass "Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen" to become the best perimeter duo in NBA history.
At that time, Phil Jackson thought it would never be possible because Wade and James' styles of play overlapped.
But now, when he saw the combination of Fanci and Kobe, he suddenly realized: Maybe the duo that can truly threaten 'Jordan Pippen' is already on the team.
He was very proud inside.
At the same time, Reggie Miller, who was sitting in the commentary box, watched the replay on the screen in front of him.
As the strongest three-point shooter in the history of the NBA, his pupils suddenly shrank. Fan Xi's smooth shooting made him marvel, and it was a subversive shock.
He saw the shadow of his own shot in the arc of Fan Xi's shot.
But, this guy has improved!
Reggie Miller knows that his shooting is more conducive to moving without the ball, which is somewhat contrary to the ball handler.
However, who would have thought that Jack could actually come up with such a good way of handling the situation. He didn't jump up like a traditional defender, look for the highest point, and then take action.
He actually took off directly and used force to shoot the basketball... Oh my god!
This is a genius idea.
If I had known this shot...!!
Reggie Miller was struck by lightning, and he realized that if he had mastered this move back then, maybe he could have surpassed the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals that year, and maybe I could have won a championship ring in my career.
Jack! Come on!!
You are now standing on the shoulders of giants, and you must become a new generation of shooting masters.
Reggie Miller blessed Fan Xi in his heart.
But at this time, Fan Xi frowned a little. He felt that there were still some subtleties that he didn't control well, and...if Wade was defending just now, it would be easy to get blocked, and his shots were still a little slower.
As he spoke, Wade had once again launched a fierce offensive. He and LeBron James were still advancing in tandem, but they were blocked by Kobe Bryant inside the free throw line. He passed the ball quickly, and this time it was Chris Bosh who received the ball.
The ball...shua!
The Heat complete the offense.
The Heat's playing style is not brilliant, but their talent is too strong. Wade and LeBron James are the best breakthrough outsiders on the planet. When they rush, at least two players are needed to defend, and when they rush at the same time,
Getting up is enough to mobilize the entire team's defense line.
And once the Lakers' defense is affected, the outside line will naturally be empty.
Bosh's shooting became a matter of course.
This is why people say that James and Wade have a chance to become the best perimeter duo in history.
The Lakers are strategically passive.
At this time, Kobe Bryant waved to Fan Xi, and he was about to open up and play singles on the strong side.
Phil Jackson is also concentrating at this time. The next step will be a real test of Fanshie and Kobe's tacit understanding between strong and weak side transfers, and whether they have the potential to surpass 'Jordan Pippen' in the triangle offense and become the strongest in history.
