Chapter 469

The Heat changed their lineup, first taking Jason Williams and then Gary Payton.

Next O'Neal, on Alonzo Mourning.

This lineup has greatly strengthened the defensive strength, enough to compete with the Timberwolves.

Gloves and Mourning, a kidney fighter, have maintained a considerable level of defense despite their advanced age.

Hardaway met the most hated opponent in the league, and Payton's trash talk was really ugly.

Mourning made it impossible for Garnett to play pick-and-roll tactics with Bai Jidong easily.

Because O'Neill couldn't keep up with them before, but Mourning could.

Whether it's opening up the high position or cutting into the penalty area, Mourning can interfere.

Moreover, the pace of the Heat is faster.

Hardaway scored and added a penalty, and the point difference caught up to 1 point.

Pat Riley hopes to upset the Timberwolves through this change.

"Alonzo Mourning's height is relatively short among centers, but his defensive success lies in his strong physique, solid defensive skills, strong and domineering style at the basket and his dedication to rebounding. I expect him to play well. The impact of the game." When it comes to Mourning, Breen is more objective.

His partner Brown knows Mourning better: "Before he was found to have partial renal failure, his low singles can destroy the opponent's inside line, coupled with his comprehensive skills inside and outside, Alonzo's offense on the court is very good. Diversification. Later, due to kidney transplantation and age, his physical condition was not as good as before, and his explosive power gradually faded. But after his comeback, he can still pick up 20 rebounds and 5 shots in less than 2 minutes of playing time. Block shots, he's still a huge threat around the rim."

Payton's strength is at the crushing level, and his degradation is different from Hardaway's.He is because of his old age, and his body functions naturally degenerate.

Hardaway because of a devastating injury.The difference between the two is that one can adapt slowly, while the other has to feel a huge gap.

Hardaway is clearly a step behind Payton.Payton sprayed ugly trash talk and rushed in with Hardaway on his shoulders.

If it weren't for Garnett's godlike blocking, Payton would have succeeded.

Bai Jidong picked up Peyton's ball and quickly counterattacked.

Percy blocked him and roared, "It's not that easy!"

"It's not that difficult."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jidong leaned his back against Posey, pushed him up, his shoulders shook as if dancing, and he turned to face the basket and made an emergency stop for a jump shot.

Percy raised his hand to interfere, it was all he could do.

Even so, it couldn't stop Bai Weidong from scoring.

With this attack, the Timberwolves overtook the score.

Riley couldn't sit still. He knew that 25% of the Timberwolves' games were won in the third quarter.

He didn't want to see something like this happen in the finals.

The core of the Timberwolves' attack and defense lies in the defense of Bai Jidong and Garnett.

As long as one of these two points of defense is broken, the Timberwolves will not be able to fight a wave.

Looking at it now, it is obvious that Garnett can't break this point, and Bai Jidong's point
Riley looked at Wade and shouted, "DW, haven't you always wanted to fight White Wolf? He's right in front of you, give it a go!"

"Yes!" Wade regarded Riley as a godfather.

He'll never forget the way Riley looked at him when he came to Miami for a workout.

At that time, Riley was wearing short sleeves that were different from what he is now, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

When he finished training, Riley called him into the office, poured him water himself, and said, "Son, I've been looking for a second Michael Jordan, and now I've found it, would you like to be the leader of Miami?"

"I am very grateful." Wade replied at the time.

Then, as fate would have it, Miami drafted him.

Riley really regarded him as the team's core training, even if there is O'Neal, a superstar who is not yet fully aged, the Heat still focus on Wade.

At the beginning, O'Neill complained, but later, he stopped complaining.

He knows his position, and he also knows the fact that he is getting old.

Everyone will be defeated by time, it is inevitable.

What did Bai Jidong see in Wade's eyes?He saw tenacity, he saw fearlessness, he saw that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he saw the fighting spirit of "I am the number one in the world, you white wolf should abdicate".

Ever since Bai Jidong climbed to the summit last year, he often encountered this kind of challenge.

This challenge comes from Kobe, Carter, James, and Wade.

This time is different, this time is a challenge in the finals.If he loses, he really loses.

Bai Weidong's sense of competition was developed during the three years he spent with Jordan.

As long as you are with Jordan, it is difficult not to develop a competitive character.

Jordan's training and failure in Chicago turned Bai Jidong into a lunatic who would do anything to win.

Normally, he would use trash talk to find the pleasure of humiliating his opponent, but when it came to this kind of real fight, he was unambiguous.

Because that's how he's always been here.

Bai Jidong accepted Wade's challenge and regarded Wade's challenge as an honor.Defeating Wade will add glory to his title defense, and he knows that this young man has a bright future.

Wade put away his ego and let Mourning come up to pick and roll for himself.

Bai already felt the arrival of the pick-and-roll, prepared in advance, turned around and got rid of Mourning's pick-and-roll wall, and then caught up with Wade.

Wade stepped over Garnett's help defense with a stray step, and was about to make a layup when Bai Weidong chased him, blocking all his layup routes.

How is he so fast?Wade looked at Bai Jidong in disbelief.

His speed was so fast that it was unreal, but it happened in front of his eyes.

Wade passed the ball outward, which meant the failure of the breakthrough.

His pass selection was poor, a forced pass.

Battier waited a long time for this pass.

Shane Battier cut off Wade's pass, and the Timberwolves immediately launched a violent counterattack.

Battier's stride is big, and he is bound to win.

Mourning never wants to see this happen.

Battier dunked up and Mourning caught up and slapped his racket from behind.

The blocked ball hit the backboard and bounced towards the basket. At this time, a white shadow that was too fast to see rushed over, grabbed the ball in the air, and stuffed it back into the basket.

Everyone was stunned.Who else could it be at such a fast speed?
Only that person of course!
No. 12 of the Minnesota Timberwolves!
Wade breathed heavily, staring at Bai Jidong who was hanging on the basket.

That is the strength of No.1 in the league. From defense to offense, he can be seen everywhere on the court. His influence extends from the backcourt to the frontcourt, covering no dead ends.

Bai Jidong fell from the basket, turned back to defend, and when he ran past Wade, Wade heard his trash talk: "You run slower than Penny."

"There won't be a next time." Wade's face darkened.

What hurts Wade the most is that even if the pick-and-roll is called, it is difficult to get rid of Bai Jidong.

The pick-and-roll will slow down Bai Weidong's defense, but cannot destroy his defense.This is exactly what is so scary about him, his defense is no longer oppressive, but entangled.

The defense is successful as long as the attacker cannot get rid of the defender.

The script of this round was similar to the previous round, a pick-and-roll, Wade opened the gap, was about to speed up, Bai Jidong caught up with him.

It was exactly the same as before, Wade gritted his teeth and tried to make Bai Jidong a defensive foul.

Bai Weidong's judgment was in place, he stood in the most appropriate position, raised his hands, and let Wade turn the clouds and make rain.

Wade has nothing to do with Bai Jidong's defense, he can only make a posture in the air that his center of gravity has been destroyed by Bai Jidong.

However, this is Minnesota's home court, and the referees will not add fouls for his performance.

Wade didn't know what to do, he barely made a shot and didn't go in.

The duel just now was the crushing of experience and strength.

Although Wade is a young talent, his future is limitless.

To put it bluntly, he is only a third-year player.

Although it has the strength of a superstar, it also has many shortcomings.

His experience is far inferior to Bai Jidong's, his strength is crushed, his weight is not comparable, and his height and wingspan have no advantage, how can he fight?
Riley had never seen Wade so depressed. His expression seemed to say, "How to fight? I can't beat him. Who will help me?"

Riley knew that the current Wade was far inferior to Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong was merciless towards Wade, his strikes were precise and ruthless, he only wanted to shake Wade out of his psychological shadow.

This guy is looking more and more like Jordan.This kind of decisive and vicious, if you don't make a move, it's enough. If you make a move, you will kill the enemy's viciousness, which is exactly the same as Jordan.

This is really ironic. Throughout the 90s, he led the Knicks, the Heat and Jordan against each other.

Without exception, Jordan is the final winner.

Now, Jordan has finally retired, but a successor has emerged.

Riley survived until Jordan retired, and then a young and vigorous Jordan appeared. This is really a great irony!
Riley looked at Wade, he had high hopes for the young man.

Although he still can't compete with Bai Jidong now, he must not stand still!
Riley underestimated Bai Jidong's destructiveness to a mentally handicapped rookie like Wade.

No one is better at hitting opponents than Bai Jidong, his trash talk has a superimposed effect when he blows up opponents.

Bai Jidong's trash talk is so much and ugly, at first it sounded like nonsense, he was slapping him, but he was suppressed so much that these nonsense came back again and again, it made him go crazy.

Wade's breakdown was reflected in a round a few minutes later.

Wade does not call the pick-and-roll, and breaks through Bai Jidong one-on-one.

"Don't even call the pick-and-roll! Are you looking down on my defense?" Bai Jidong broke Wade's ball.

Since the start of the playoffs, this is the first time Wade has been intercepted one-on-one.

Wade's mind went blank, he just wanted to get the ball back, he chased after him desperately, but Bai Jidong's Show time was fulfilled.

Bai Weidong made a fast break dunk and caused Wade's thug to foul.

Wade stared blankly at Bai Jidong, only to hear him say: "Shaq called you The Flash, I think it's quite right, your fouls are indeed as fast as lightning, you are really a lightning foul man."
