Chapter 477 Luck
Wade froze in place, watching the basketball hit the net, with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face, missing the rare opportunity to "zero seal" the opponent.

Everyone was extremely shocked by Tres's shooting. The difficulty of scoring this goal is too great. It is usually a difficult operation that NBA players will only appear when they are cornered.

"He always does this." Some players who have an impression of Tres said that such shooting is just his signature action. He can always make difficult shots in the game. However, it is not how strong the defense of the opponent he encounters, but that he always creates difficulties for himself. His shooting percentage in difficult situations is higher than that in normal situations.

Tres can hit some incredible goals in the game.

"Hey, it's over." Wade shook his head slightly after losing the "zero seal" opportunity, "Then let him end."

Wade decided to end the game on his next possession.

10-2 behind, although the point difference is huge, and the chance of reversal is very slim, but Tres still wants to give it a go. Before Wade scored the 11th point, the game was not over yet.

First of all, Tres must first defend against Wade's offensive.

Facing the match point, Wade is bound to play a strong offense at this ball. Before that, he scored in a different way, which put huge defensive pressure on Tres.

"Mu Chenfeng, if it was you, what choice would you make before this ball is played?" Barrett threw the last attack problem to Mu Chenfeng, wanting to know his thoughts.

"Let's break through, get close to the basket, or score or cause fouls." Mu Chenfeng replied, nodding his head slightly when he said it, very satisfied with his answer.

"Indeed, breakthrough is a good choice, or even the best choice, for key shots or decisive moments. However, it may not be applicable in a one-on-one match." Barrett said slowly, "In a one-on-one match, the opponent's full attention is on you alone, and the opponent's attention will be highly concentrated. Moreover, professional players have a "problem" that they will naturally focus their defense on the inside, so if they break through, they will definitely be strongly defended."

"Then what are we going to do?" Mu Chenfeng asked suspiciously.

"Just use the attack method you are most sure of." Barrett raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he spoke, because Wade on the field was already ready to attack.

"The most sure way? What is the most sure way for the captain?"

"Wait a minute and you'll find out!"

Wade kicked his right foot hard and sent his body out. Tres reacted quickly and moved laterally to keep up. Wade pulled the ball back and retreated.

"It's so fast!" Wade's speed surprised Mu Chenfeng. His movements were like ghosts, unable to be captured, and the connection of movements was extremely smooth. Tres's reaction was fast enough. It would have been difficult for others to even make follow-up defensive moves, but Tres was passed by without any suspense.

"Actually, there is no most sure attack at all. There is only the most suitable attack. Making the right attack choice at the right time is the most important thing. As for the way to end, as long as the ball can be sent to the basket, it is a good ball."

Wade scored the game-winner with an unremarkable layup after passing Trace.

There are no amazing dunks or fancy pull bars, just the most ordinary layups.

It is also the most stable layup.

At 12:2, Wade won the most anticipated matchup with an extremely disparate score. For this result, many viewers knew that it was not enjoyable enough. The game had just started and ended.

Tres even slapped himself in the face with a complete defeat.

"I hope you can continue to show your talent on the bench." When Wade hugged Tres after the game, he said something that seemed encouraging but very hurtful. The implication was that Tres' ability is only suitable for playing on the bench. He can only get a certain amount of play in the game between the benches.

He easily won the first round, and there are two more rounds waiting for Wade. Luck is also on his side. Through the lottery, Wade became the only player with a bye in the two rounds. He will directly enter the finals, waiting for his two opponents.

The system of direct promotion has always been questioned, especially in heads-up matches, which consume a lot of energy. If there is one less round of direct promotion, the players who will participate in the finals later will have a lot of difference in physical fitness.

To this, the league's answer was "luck is also a part of strength". For the five players who entered the second round, the probability of a bye is fair. At this time, luck needs to be compared. Obviously, those who were lucky and those who were not hit reacted differently.

Not having a bye can only mean that luck is not good enough, nothing more.

Opponents in the second round:
Ennis vs Thomas, West vs Russell, Wade bye.

Ennis and Thomas are both players with strong defensive capabilities. The two reached an 5:8 tie within 8 minutes of the game. Thomas missed the chance to kill Ennis, which forced the two sides to enter the golden goal.

In the Golden Globe game, Thomas paid the price for his missed lore. Ennis hit the inside with a strong back.

The confrontation between West and Russell has lasted for 6 years. The two entered the NBA in the same year. Because of their similar stature and style of play, they are often used for comparison. The two are hard to tell from the statistics and performance. This heads-up match finally gave them a chance to decide the winner.

Both of them are very good at mid-range shooting, and the outside of the penalty area is their main offensive area. These two don't want to fight in the interior like Ennis and Thomas, but fight together to shoot.

"How is this a heads-up match? It's obviously a shooting match." The audience was in an uproar. The two did not have any physical confrontation at all. All shots came from mid-to-long distances. The offensive efficiency of the two seemed to be discussed in advance. If one side scores a goal, the other side must respond.

Between you and me, the scores of the two reached 10 points one after another.

At 10:10, the audience just witnessed the most disparate score difference in this year's heads-up match. Only a few minutes later, they witnessed the most stalemate score.

Both sides reached match point, and it only took one goal for the game to be over.
