God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 462 Fight to Fame

Wade has made quite a name before, but because he was the sixth man in the Pistons, and the high-ranking picks in the same class as him, such as James, Anthony and Bosh, have already been the focus of their respective teams. The goal, the starting position is even more in hand.However, this does not mean that Wade is inferior to them. In fact, Wade averaged 15.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game during the regular season. Less points are less, but the overall data is not worse than others.

This time Brown obviously hopes that he can provoke the burden of offense when his teammates feel cold, so he can score 14 points in the second quarter. In the previous game, he could only score more than 10 points in a single quarter.

After the intermission, Brown continued to let Wade start the game in the second half, because he had found that Wade's breakthrough points had become the main offensive method of the Pistons in this game, and his teammates could also get open shots after his breakthrough.Although the shooting percentage is still not high, it is much better than strong shots against the defense, and there is hope to tie the score.

Sure enough, after Wade gave Miller a block at the beginning of the third quarter, he immediately switched offense and defense and rushed to the Pacers' basket.Facing Jermaine O'Neal's return defense, he did not directly attack the basket with enthusiasm, but casually threw the ball to Billups who followed up. The latter shot easily at a 45-degree angle on the wing. Hollow directly into the box.

This goal also helped the Pistons tie the score. This is what Brown emphasized during the intermission. He hoped that the players would get each other back to the same starting line when the opponent was caught off guard, and now they obviously did.But this is not the end. Wade continued to set off a wave of scoring. He seemed to never feel tired. He tried his best on both ends of the offense and defense, and the effect was very good. Under his leadership, the Pistons have gradually achieved The initiative on the field.

This surprised Carlisle. In fact, when the Pistons selected Wade with the second pick in the draft, it still aroused widespread discussion.In the eyes of many experts, it’s fine if James is selected. Milicic, Anthony and even Bosh are much better than Wade. They don’t understand why the Pistons choose such a guard who doesn’t seem to have distinctive characteristics. .

But by now they should have figured it out.With Brown's strong support, Wade completely controlled the ball, and his performance did not disappoint the coach and teammates.He scored another 8 points on 6-of-13 shooting in the third quarter and also sent out 3 assists to help the Pistons lead the Pacers by 11 points at the end of the third quarter, which made Brown nod again and again.

However, in Chang Wei's view, Wade still has a lot of room for improvement. He has not shot a three-pointer in this game.Of course, it's not because he didn't get a good shot. Chang Weineng counted at least three or four times. Every time Wade received the ball in the gap outside the three-point line, he insisted on continuing to break through with the ball. Get close to the basket before scoring.

This is not a big problem. For basketball games, it is an unchanging truth that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. Wade basically uses breakthrough layups and mid-range shots to score. Point shooting is intolerable, at least Chang Wei cannot tolerate it.If Wade is just an outside gate, then it is understandable that he can't shoot three-pointers, but Chang Wei hopes that he can become a stronger shooting guard than in his previous life. He will definitely let Wade practice hard on three-pointers.

But this time is not a good time to talk about the problem of three-point shooting. Besides, Wade's potential breakthrough is enough for the time being, but Chang Wei is already ready. I believe that Wade can give everyone a bigger surprise next season, and his career will become smoother, which is a good thing for the Pistons.

Because of Wade's outstanding performance, Carlisle had to ask Artest to put more energy on the defensive end.But Wade is not something Artest can easily defend, which makes Artest consume too much energy on the defensive end, so naturally he can't take care of the offensive end.This is equivalent to slow suicide for the Pacers, but Carlisle couldn't just watch Wade continue to score crazy points. After weighing it, he still made this decision and handed over the offense to O'Neal and Miller.

To his surprise, Wade quickly adapted to Artest's defense, and his shooting touch was also ignited by the previous consecutive scoring. He simply returned the ball to Billups and played Hamilton-style run catch-and-shoot.His elusiveness made Artest very upset, but the irritability was useless, he still couldn't catch up with Wade's footsteps.

Of course, Wade will not unscrupulously shoot wildly on his own. In fact, he has almost been transformed into a combo guard in the Pistons. In the gap, he will seize the opportunity to pass the ball.Under his leadership, the feel of other Pistons players also recovered, and the Pacers felt the pressure increase instantly. Jr. O'Neal and Miller both gritted their teeth and tried to score, but the efficiency was far inferior to the Pistons.

Taking advantage of the Pacers falling into a scoring drought, the Pistons played a 9-2 spurt to further widen the point difference, and they left the Pacers running out of time.Although the Pacers players still have no intention of giving up, the Pistons players who have returned to normal have not given them any chance. Whenever they are about to start, they will encounter head-on blows, which makes them feel quite aggrieved.Especially Wade, he was so strong in this game, and his stable to terrible mid-range made the Pacers feel desperate.

At 1 minute and 27 seconds before the end of the game, Brown replaced Wade when the overall situation was determined, allowing him to accept the enthusiastic cheers of the fans. His personal data was also fixed at 35 points and 13 assists. Rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocked shots.In addition, Wade also showed a maturity that does not match his age. He only made 3 turnovers in the game. Although there were 2 fouls, the flaws were not concealed, which on the contrary shows that he played very hard in the game.

Wade's data can only be played by the league's top point guards, and his performance on the defensive end also makes Brown very satisfied.Under his leadership, the Pistons also defeated the Pacers in a 98-88 reversal and won the second game.For the Pistons, winning two consecutive home games is undoubtedly a good start. As long as they can win at least one game in the next away game, the possibility of final promotion will make their opponents desperate.
