Chapter 185 Crazy Solo Performance

Being behind by 9 points at halftime is an acceptable point difference for the Heat, and Wade also used this time to regain his energy.

During the intermission, the Lakers held a special welcome ceremony for the children of the "Naismith Training Camp", for which the official canceled the halftime cheerleading performance.

At halftime of this nationally televised game, the campers were introduced one by one, introducing each player to the entire United States.

This is a special gift from Los Angeles to the players.

This special design link made the ratings of this broadcast soar, and the exposure of just 20 minutes netted millions of dollars for the boss.

In front of the TV, Jamil Martin was sipping tea leisurely, "That's right, he's much stronger than when he first started."

"Martin, is this the Chinese player you mentioned to me? It looks very ordinary." A middle-aged man sitting opposite him said in a contemptuous tone.

"Who am I, scout Martin, don't you believe my vision?" Martin responded sternly.

It is true that Martin seldom misses the point. Most of the players who came out of his hands have become independent stars, but those are all American players, and they all have excellent basketball genes. As for how high a Chinese player can reach in the NBA, the opponent's attitude is quite conservative. After all, there has only been one superstar in China, Yao Ming.

"If you want to win the championship, I can't guarantee it, but if you want to bulge your pockets, I guarantee you will earn a lot of money."

The other party nodded in satisfaction. The big piece of meat in the Chinese market is still very attractive.

After a short intermission, the game between the Lakers and the Heat continued. As expected, the two teams replaced their leading cores as soon as they came up.

The arena, which had been silent for a whole quarter, once again ushered in the climax of the atmosphere.

"This is the posture of a decisive battle." Both sides sent the strongest lineup to play, which is an extremely unreasonable arrangement for a game.

Under normal circumstances, the team will play with all its main force at the beginning of the first quarter and the second half of the fourth quarter. In the middle of the game, a mixed lineup of main players and role players is used.

Moreover, the two teams actually resorted to the same combat strategy.

The decisive moment, come early!
McGrady took the initiative to apply to defend Wade, but was rejected by James.

He is very clear about the intention of the Heat to send this lineup, which is to control the situation on the field from the first round. Sitting on the bench allows James' physical fitness to be fully recovered, and his opponent has also been recovered.

No one can be bothered with the energetic Wade.

Neither can James himself.

Suffocated, Wade used his signature stray step at the beginning of the game. His realistic breakthrough action successfully deceived everyone's eyes, and he made a low-handed layup and scored the ball.

The highest state of fake action is that you clearly know that it is a fake action, but you will still be deceived involuntarily.

The lost step is a high-level technical action based on the opponent's defensive instinct.

Bruce Wade's lost step has been sublimated and improved on the basis of the old Wade.

"How did you do the action just now?" Wade's lost step is not only fake, but also extremely fast, giving no time for reaction.

James wanted to respond with an alley-oop, but the basketball was intercepted by Wade in the air.

In the fast-break counterattack, Wade sent out the first personal assist of the game, helping the opponent to fight back.

The Heat's strong counterattack caught the Lakers off guard. In less than a minute, the Lakers applied for the first timeout of the second half.

"You all pass the ball to me later." Wade said to his teammates, "Leave the second half to me alone."

Wade intends to take all the Heat's offense alone, but his teammates are not surprised at all, because this kid has indeed done so.

Three years ago, Wade, who had just entered the league, occupied all the team's shots in the second half, and hit 48 of the 20 shots. Although the Heat eventually lost the game, Wade scored 60 points in the entire game, setting a scoring record. At that time, he only wanted to set the record.

After three years, Wade once again made a crazy decision, and this time he wanted to win.

"There are 24 minutes left in the game." Teammate reminded.

"24 minutes is enough." Wade returned to the field after leaving only one sentence.

The game continued, but Wade started his almost crazy personal performance.

At the beginning, he scored 8 points in a row from outside and outside. After missing a three-pointer, Wade continued his firepower and beat the opponent 6:0 alone.

James led the team to make a positive response, forming a confrontation with Wade.

"What kind of intensity is this?" The intensity on the court at this moment makes it hard to believe that it is a level that humans can achieve. Even basketball fans for many years cannot give a correct explanation for this.

Wade is on his own to compete with the Lakers team, and not to fall behind.

If the opponent is an ordinary fish, Wade's superb performance is barely acceptable, but the opponent is a championship team, Wade actually rubbed the championship on the ground, and he didn't take the championship seriously.

Halfway through the third quarter, Wade's offensive intensity remained undiminished, and James was the only one left in the game who could keep up with his rhythm.

"He actually knocked down the entire team with just speed."

Wade took an average of only 12 seconds per attack, only half of the prescribed time, and such a fast pace allowed him to get twice as many shots as usual.

After three quarters, Wade's scoring has reached 47 points, of which 32 points were obtained in the third quarter, which is also the team's score.

Wade's performance helped the team narrow the point difference to 2 points. He took 38 shots in the third quarter and hit 16 goals. The shooting percentage is not high, but the super high number of shots brought him super high scores.

There is no shortage of players in the NBA who can score over 30 points in a single quarter, but there are not many players who can score 30 points in a single quarter. Wade also became the first player in the history of the Heat to score more than [-] points in a single quarter.

Just as reporters in Miami were poised to rave about the record, Wade delivered an even more provocative performance in the fourth quarter.

After scoring 32 points in the third quarter, Wade exploded with more powerful offensive firepower in the fourth quarter. He bombarded the whole quarter again, hit a record 40 shots in a single quarter, and scored 33 points.

The 65 points in the second half broke Chamberlain's personal halftime scoring record of 59 points.

The 80 points also became the third player to reach 80 points after Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant.

Wade's 80 points completely overshadowed James' 56-point triple-double, and both played a beautiful game.

In the end, under the leadership of Wade, the Heat defeated the defending champion 108:107.

After the game, Lakers owner Bass gave Wade the game ball to commemorate his crazy performance in this game.

It's been a crazy night.

After the game, the campers couldn't calm down for a long time. They saw a great record happen so vividly in front of their eyes.

After leaving Staples, the campers checked into a hotel near the arena. It was already early morning when they returned to the hotel. The campers simply washed up, rested, and prepared for the last day of the training camp.
