NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"Dudu!"

The referee blows the whistle, and the game officially begins!
The two sides perform a jump ball in the middle circle, and after each takes their positions, the referee throws the ball up.

'Dragon King' Bosh relaxed his ape arms, winning the first wave of offensive rights for the Heat.

'Lightning first' Wade advanced the ball and handed the ball to James, who instigated the Heat's first offense.

James looked around, found Bosh near the free throw line, and immediately passed the ball.

It is Yi Jianlian who is facing him. In the regular season of this season, Yi Jianlian and Bosh have faced each other many times, and they know each other very well.

After 'Dragon King' Bosh joined the Heat, his personal data has declined. This is because he made sacrifices for the team, not because of his own decline in strength.

Yi Jianlian still seemed a bit inadequate in front of him, but he also had some ideas on how to defend Bosh.

Bosh is one of the most comprehensive post players in the league today, with quick feet and good shots.

The only shortcoming is that he is lacking in physical confrontation compared with big centers. After all, he is not a player at the fifth position. It is only based on the current situation of the Heat that there is no good center. This puts him at the fifth position. bit.

And Yi Jianlian's experience in defending Bosh is to constantly confront him physically. Under strong confrontation, Bosh's state will fluctuate.

Therefore, when Bosh received the ball, Yi Jianlian immediately stuck up and took the initiative to seek physical confrontation.

I have to say that this defense makes Bosh a little uncomfortable, but he is not the end point of this offense.

After James passed the ball, he immediately cut to the inside.

And Bosh also took advantage of the trend to pass the ball to the ground, passed it back to James, assisted him to complete the flying blue, and successfully scored the first offense!
After the goal, they retreated immediately, completely denying the Cavaliers a chance to break fast.

This is also the defensive requirement of Heat coach Spoelstra today.

Both the Cavaliers and the Heat are teams that are good at fast breaks. They can use fast breaks to score a lot of points in every game.

And the Cavaliers' fast break points are a little higher than the Heat's, so Coach Spoelstra pays special attention to this.

After the Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, Long Rui advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and then began to organize the attack.

Inside, Varejao and Yi Jianlian began to cooperate. They had a high advantage at the basket, and Long Rui wanted to take advantage of this to attack the weakest link of the Heat.

Facing Wade's defense, Long Rui and Curry set up a screen.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian stepped forward, and the player responsible for defending Yi Jianlian was James.

On the offensive end, he is in the third position, but on the defensive end, he is placed in the fourth position. This is also a helpless move for the Heat's lack of insiders.

Long Rui gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, and then immediately went down, but his goal was not to get to the basket, but to set up a pick-and-roll for Yi Jianlian.

This pick-and-roll had the effect of delaying James, allowing Yi Jianlian to get a good chance to make a free shot.

But Yi Jianlian didn't make a move immediately, because he found that Bosh put down Varejao on the inside and made up for him.

He sent the ball to the basket with a fake shot and a real pass.

Varejao seized the opportunity and scored the ball!

"You can see from the first attack of each team, they played very thin today."

"Especially for the Cavaliers, Yi Jianlian didn't take any shots after the opportunity appeared, but chose a more stable scoring method."

"This is a good start. The Cavaliers can't blindly pursue a fast-paced style of play, but need such details."

"So if the two sides compare speed, then the Heat are not afraid of the Cavaliers at all, but the Heat also like that rhythm."

"When two teams have similar styles, the comparison is who can play more meticulously."

Looking back, the Heat's offense.

Wade continued to hand the ball to James, and the man responsible for defending James was JJ Hickson.

As a former teammate of James, he knows how strong James is, and the strength of the two is not at the same level at all.

For Hickson, this round of the series he is undoubtedly the most difficult player for the Cavaliers.

In the first round, he had to defend 'Melon' Carmelo Anthony, and in the second round he had to defend James.

These two are almost unsolvable on the offensive end, and their styles are different.

James signaled his teammates to open up the space. When he made this move, Hickson was already mentally prepared.

He knows James too well to know that James is planning to make a breakthrough.

In this regard, Hickson can only keep a steady foot, lower the center of gravity of the body, and limit the opponent's breakthrough as much as possible.

He took a step back a little later, preferring to leave room for James to shoot than let him drive easily.

Breakthrough is James' most lethal weapon. In contrast, his shooting is not so stable.

James knew Hickson's intentions, but this did not stop his determination to break through.

After two consecutive tentative steps, James immediately launched an impact.

His strong body was the biggest barrier when he broke through. Although Hickson blocked his breakthrough route, he was forced to push back by James!

"BOOM!"

The powerful one-handed dunk smashed the ball into the basket!
As soon as this game came up, James showed a full desire to attack!

Hixon, who was broken through, could only look at his back and give a wry smile helplessly.

"do not think too much."

Seeing this, Long Rui also hastily comforted him, for fear that James would cast a psychological shadow on Hixon.

"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

At this time, the fans in the arena shouted Long Rui's name.

Long Rui is also very aware of the psychological activities of these fans. They regard James as an enemy, and Long Rui is the hero who saved the Cavaliers.

Now that James scored two goals in a row after the opening, the fans naturally hope that Long Rui can stand up and respond.

"Long Rui, let go and fight!"

Curry also gave an encouragement.

Outside the three-point line, Long Rui faced Wade, and his teammates took the initiative to open up space for him.

"Come on, let me see how much MVP has improved!"

Wade said excitedly.

Under the matchup between the two in the regular season, it was almost a [-]-[-] situation, and every time they played against each other was very exciting.

"Will not disappoint you."

Long Rui responded immediately, and then launched his first personal attack in this game.

After continuous crotch feinting, Long Rui quickly took a step sideways to the right, and made a breakthrough at the same time.

Wade also followed immediately, blocking his breakthrough route.

At this time, Long Rui suddenly retreated in the opposite direction, pulled away in an instant, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer!
