You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 750 There Will Be a New King in the East

The offense and defense of Wei Xia and James in the second quarter made people see what would happen if the two strongest players in the world went all out in singles.

5分钟内，韦夏16分6篮板；詹姆斯15分5篮板1助攻。

Their one-on-one fight made the Heat not like before. They fought to be led by the 76ers by a big score, and then they couldn't change in one breath and ended the game directly.

It was James who bet on the dignity and glory of No. 1 in the league that made the Heat barely able to support the game.

In the first half, he and Wei Xia were evenly matched.

韦夏半场27分9篮板3助攻，詹姆斯半场24分8篮板5助攻。

"Will you and LeBron continue to fight like this?"

In the second half, the reporter asked Wei Xia.

Wei Xia replied confidently and calmly: "It's not up to me."

The reporter looked at his strong and confident smile, and asked, "It depends on who?"

"It depends on my king (My Lord)." This may be the first time Wei Xia mocked James in front of the media.

Or it can't be said to be a mockery, but a gauntlet.

He was going to continue in the second half, but this thing is like sex, if there is no entanglement of mutual affection, playing alone is no different from sleeping with an inflatable doll.

Wei Xia returned to the locker room and left the scene to the commentators.

Mike Breen made a simple summary, and then said: "I feel that these two people will have a more intense confrontation."

"Since the Eastern Conference finals, LeBron's performance has been suppressed by Wish."

"In the past three games, Wish averaged 32 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game. With LeBron playing more time, he scored 4 points less, rebounded one less, and assists one more."

Mark Jackson pointed it out specifically: "And we all know that in the three games that the 76ers won, each game had garbage time."

Van Gundy said grimly: "And Wish doesn't have a good habit of scoring points during garbage time."

"Who are you implying?" Brin asked leisurely.

Van Gundy shook his head suddenly: "No!"

In the halftime lounge of the 76ers and the Heat, the coaching staff of both sides made completely different decisions.

The Heat's coaching staff asked to continue to attack Wei Xia: "We can't let Wish kick our ass like this again!"

Jay Wright gave Wei Xia the greatest authority: "Do whatever you want."

Is the Heat's double-teaming strategy correct?

In the words of Jeff Van Gundy, didn't the Heat think about who they were double-teaming?Is this guy double-teaming?What is the price of double-teaming him?
No one will double-team James, because the Heat have a bunch of shooters on the outside, and double-teaming will only allow him to get through the team's second line of leadership.

It just so happens that the 76ers also have a bunch of shooters, but Wei Xia is not a big core like James who can hold the ball all over the court. He is used as an end point and a one-on-one player in a stalemate.This does not mean that he cannot become the core of the ball. People now seem to ignore intentionally or unintentionally that during the 2005-2007 period, he served as the Lakers' No. [-] position many times and did a good job.

Seeing the Heat's intentions clearly, the 76ers immediately used Weixia to hold the ball to attract pincers. The outside shooters met the rain: Hayward, or Hayward, Hollins, and Rondo, who no one thought of, all made three-pointers.

Within 3 minutes of the second half, the 76ers scored four consecutive three-pointers.

James made a strong shot and hit the iron, and Wei Xia also received an assist from Rondo and stole a 7-second fast break transition. The 76ers blasted 5 points in 18 minutes in one breath, and violently opened the point difference to 16 points.

72 is better than 56
The Heat were on the brink of desperation, James and Wade scored back and forth, and Battier Lewis and other peripheral supporters made long-range shots to close the point difference to 14 points.

The 76ers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game by virtue of their inside advantage and Wechat's unsolvable offense with the ball.

82 is better than 63
The two sides entered the fourth quarter, and the 76ers held a 19-point advantage.

"If Miami can't reverse a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter, it's time for a new king in the East."

In the last quarter, the defending champion put all his energy into a back-and-forth battle. The defensive end frantically pinched the ball holder across the center line. Wade fell to the ground many times to fight for the floor ball regardless of his injured knee; The difference is 6 points.

93 is better than 83
"They're just dying!" Rondo yelled. "Go and give them that last shot!"

Wei Xia smiled leisurely: "Then give me the ball."

One of the reasons why the Heat's double-teaming tactic works is that the 76ers' shooters suddenly lost their accuracy.There is an open shot and the shot cannot be made, so double-teaming the ball holder is effective.

After this timeout, Wei Xia came to the low position and stuck his back to Battier.

The 76ers sent the sideline ball directly to Wei Xia's hands.

Wei Xia felt Battier's defense, and heard someone quickly double-teaming the upper line.The man's double-teaming limited Wei Xia's offense to two places, either shooting or turning around and hitting the baseline.

Wei Xia judged the person based on the frequency of his footsteps, and his offense started a second before the double-team was formed.The hand holding the ball is always in control, and the body suddenly turns up the line.A player with a full set of offensive skills like him is a threat no matter what he makes.

Battier followed his movements and reacted, but he didn't expect that Wei Xia would adjust his center of gravity as quickly as possible, turn around and attack the bottom line.

About half a second, James appeared in the double-team position, but Wei Xia's body had already broken through to the bottom line, and Battier's body turned out to be a wall of flesh that hindered James' further pursuit.

The moment the Heat's defense collapsed, Wei Xia rushed into the paint area, jumped with both feet, shot into the air like a flying arrow, and scored a violent dunk into the basket.

95 is better than 83
Battier was panting heavily, James was full of unwillingness, Wei Xia passed in front of them and said, "There will be a new king in the east."

James immediately responded by crushing Hayward's defense with his signature tank drive.

85 is better than 95
"I'll defend him next round, by the way, give me the ball!" Wei Xia shouted.

The same position, low post, back body, the ball comes.

When Wei Xia made a deceptive move to the line again, Battier knew that the danger was huge, but he didn't dare to waver and defend accordingly, because as long as he dared to move, Wei Xia would follow the same pattern at a faster speed and go to the bottom line to destroy his defense.

What if he doesn't respond to Wei Xia's temptation?

Then Wei Xia's action will change the intention, the original lure action, the opportunity becomes the pre-action of the attack.

Battier didn't respond, Wei Xia turned over and shot a jumper.

Since Battier didn't respond, he just watched Wei Xia make a move, "Shua!"

97 is better than 85
Wei Xia did not retreat, he stayed in the frontcourt, staring at James.

His purpose can be seen by any fan.

He wants to press James from the backcourt.

James is not the kind of lightning guard who can use speed to forcibly surpass others. As long as Wei Xia can resist, entangle, and keep his pace, he can control his advancement.

"You are delusional!"

The violent thrust of the Chosen Son's rage was too obvious, Wei Xia moved laterally in place, and under the condition that his body did not actively exert force, he used his body to withstand James' impact.

The changes in the rules have seriously tilted the balance between the offensive and defensive ends. In positional warfare, James' breakthrough is difficult to limit.

On the way to advance, protecting the ball is more important than anything else. There is a limited time to pass halftime. Therefore, it is not easy to dribble the ball across the halftime within the specified time and protect the ball.

It took James almost eight seconds to pass his own logo with his head and butt arched.

He wanted to pass the ball, perhaps because after halftime, his body suddenly relaxed, Wei Xia searched for a flaw for a long time, and then appeared.

James hadn't noticed that the problems and crises were coming, and he fearlessly exposed his ball to Weixia.

"Snapped!"

The king's eyes are wide open, the ball is out of control!

Wei Xia's hand stabbed out like a sword, and his racket went to the backcourt. His body exploded in an instant, chasing the ball through the king's body.

"Oh Wish!"

Wei Xia rushed to the frontcourt in one go, leaped up inside the free throw line, gliding like a person in a picture, elegant and handsome, with one hand holding the ball forward like the Statue of Liberty.

The American Airlines Center was silent when his dunk was completed.

99 is better than 85
There will be a new king in the east.

It's not trash talk, it's the truth.

That man waited five years, just for today.

"Will I lose to him?" James doesn't think he is inferior to Wei Xia. The Heat's aging is beyond his expectations, and the 76ers' rise is so rapid.

The strength gap between the two teams is too obvious. This is the gap between the teams, not the gap between him and Wei Xia.

It's like when Weixia lost to the Heat two years ago, no one thought he was much worse than James.

Wei Xia also knows this, he knows what others will say, so he will go one-on-one with James as long as he finds an opportunity.

Fans will argue about the statistics, the winning percentage of the match, and the personal honor.

However, if Wei Xia can play tons of output in front of James every time?
In terms of honor, Yao Huang's personal honor multiplied by 2 is not enough to be compared with Howard, but every Yao Huang fan always disdains and contemptuously mentions Howard, because the three most well-known things in the former life are eating, sleeping, and playing World of Warcraft.

Therefore, if the statistics are evenly matched, Honor James is currently better, and Wei Xia wants to prove that he is a better player than James, then the only way is to beat him face to face, twice if not enough once, three times if two times are not enough, and ensure that every time they meet, he can beat James like Yao Huang beat Howard.

This one-on-one counterattack dunk is the kind of round that will be made into a GIF by fans to debate.

James, who couldn't bear to be beaten by Weixia in a row, chose to go heads-up when the Heat fell behind by 14 points again.

The 76ers' zone defense blocked his breakthrough, and he chose a high jumper.

The pure shooting percentage of only 40% all the year round tells fans all over the world why you always feel that James can't hit the key ball.

"boom!"

The King's shot flew out head-on, Wei Xia caught it, and was not in a hurry to push back. He waited patiently for the Heat to retreat and then transported to the front to face James.

"I'll get rid of you."

"Dancing around the paint with an authentic skyhook score."

"Guess the unfaithful Miami fans are going to cheer for me?"

When Wei Xia's words fell, James stepped back against his unparalleled explosive power, but found that it was just a tentative step. He was shaken back, which was the opportunity Wei Xia wanted.

James, whose center of gravity was buried, could not stop Wei Xia from advancing.

He watched Wei Xia rush to the paint area, hold the ball and slap his back. His body was like a dancer on ice. When he received the ball, his body spun along. The ball was handed over to his right hand from behind, and he took a second step cleanly with his feet, just outside the paint area. Then, his body jumped up, that posture, that posture, that hook movement—everyone recognized it!
"Oh Holy Wish!"

Wei Xia's skyhook, spinning and flying from the right side of the basket, the stunt of the NBA's historical scoring champion, the super killer that has been lost, reappeared at this moment in the Eastern Conference finals, and inserted a fatal blow against the dying body of the defending champion!
Now, not only James and his teammates, but also the fans at the scene and everyone who witnessed the game know that there will be a new king in the Eastern Conference.

Wei Xia single-handedly broke the game into garbage time. His skills are gorgeous and dazzling, with the elegance of a trapeze, Kobe's domineering and unreasonable, Maravich's incredible brilliance and creativity, and one of the most representative NBA offensive moves-the skyhook.

He stood at the top of the East and took the Heat to the throne. Everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance he will show in his first trip to the Finals on behalf of the Philadelphia 76ers.
