King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 96 Janeway Connection
The Kings' starting lineup remains unchanged for [-] consecutive victories, but the Heat's lineup is much stronger than the previous four-game losing lineup because of James' strong comeback today. Point guard Carlos Arroyo, shooting guard De Wynn Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh, and the center is James' old teammate Ilgauskas in the Cavaliers.

Heat coach Spoelstra did not let Arroyo defend He Yixiang at all. Although this was the first matchup between the two in the NBA, when China vs. Puerto Rico in the World Championships last year, He Yixiang completely defeated Arroyo. It exploded, with Wade in his hand, there was absolutely no need for Arroyo to defend He Yixiang.

The Heat in the away game are not polite at all. The first to attack is James who has just come back. Iguodala is a player who can be called strong enough, but compared with the monster James, it is a bit insignificant. Just look at the arm From the upper dimension, we can see the difference in strength.What's more, there is still a gap in height. As a small forward, Iguodala is only 198cm, but James has 206cm. The 203 who entered the NBA in the first year gradually grew taller.

The horror of James is not his weight and height. The horror is that under this weight and height, there is such a fast speed, such a strong bounce and guard-like dribbling skills.

With a strong frontal attack, Iguodala was directly pushed away near the bull's horns, and he entered the inside line. Facing Cousins' supplementary defense, two black men weighing more than 200 pounds collided in the air. In such a fierce air confrontation After that, when Cousins ​​had landed, James was still in the air, and a wiper scored the ball, and at the same time caused a blocking foul by Cousins ​​who was defending.A roar, a 2+1, announced to the Kings and the league that last year's MVP is back, just wait!
"I have to admit that James may be about to rule this era." Barkley was very optimistic about James in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals. He once thought that the Cavaliers would easily win the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Celtics. , the Cavaliers will win within five games.Pierce couldn't stop James at all.When Smith refuted him, he instead said that the Cavaliers would make it easy, and that he was willing to "bet the house, the car, the savings, everything" on that assertion.Of course, we know the ending, the Boston Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 4:2 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, and this is the origin of Barkley's cult.

"Indeed, his personal ability is really against the sky, and his breakthrough ability is absolutely in the first gear in history, and his physical strength allows you to foul when you can't stop him. The reason why the number of and one ranks first in the league."

Less than a minute after the game started, Cousins, the core insider, committed a foul. This is not good news for the entire team. He Yixiang also slapped Cousins ​​on the ass, signaling him not to go with the referee again. After arguing, another technical foul would not be worth the candle.This is also a bad habit of Cousins. He likes to argue with the referee after a foul or when he thinks the opponent fouled. It is easy for the opponent to achieve a fast break. He Yixiang can remind him when he is on the court. It is easy to be beaten into a wave by the opponent.

Facing Wade's defense, He Yixiang is a bit difficult to deal with. His previous physical advantages cannot be reflected in front of Wade. They are all around 195 in height, with similar jumping speed, and maybe a little slower. Wade is also famous. The long-armed monster and stealer.

He Yixiang's dribbling is very cautious. Since he can't make it through, let's try how the three-pointer feels today. He pretends to break through, and then retreats to make a three-pointer. However, his routine moves have long been rejected. Wade, who had studied his video, saw through it. The moment he raised his hand, He Yixiang's ball was directly cut off by Wade, and he quickly dribbled to the frontcourt and threw it directly to the basket from outside the three-point line. As early as Wade's steal In the first moment, James rushed to the frontcourt at a high speed that did not match his weight, and then dunked again into the frame after receiving a pass from Wade.

Although it is only a 5:0, there are many problems reflected in this 5:0. The perimeter defensive gate Iguodala can't stop James. Another top five in the league, Wade, has not yet performed on the offensive end. On the defensive end, He Yixiang, the core of the king's tactics, was well defended, and Cousins ​​​​has already paid a foul on the inside.Oh, by the way, I forgot that the opposite team was a Big Three team, and Bosh, a 24+10 fierce man last season, was the same guy as the boss of the team and turned to the third man like Iguodala. The first Christmas game blew up the Lakers inside.

This Heat team is not a perfect team either. Bosh's height of 211cm and weight of 107kg doomed him to be only average in defending the inside while ensuring his moving speed and his excellent defensive ability.And if Ilgauskas, the 221cm tall Pyrenees, was placed 5 years ago, even if he could not prevent the death of Cousins, he could still achieve certain restrictions, but now he has nothing to do with Cousins .Cousins ​​caught Ilgauskas in the penalty area, and after receiving a pass from He Yixiang, he made a quick turn around without pausing and directly wiped the old Ilgauskas, making an easy layup.

But even the towel captain Hyde, who was celebrating the goal of the Kings, hadn't sat down yet. Ilgauskas caught the ball and sent it to James. A cross pass was made to Wade. After catching the ball, Wade accelerated again and passed He Yixiang directly. Facing the empty basket, Wade glided and dunked the ball with one hand to pay tribute to Jordan.The king managed to make one, but the two fast-break duos on the opposite side, who can be called the number one in history, used a tacit connection to wipe out the king's efforts just now.

In the first quarter of the game, I felt that the entire game was completely dominated by these two. James scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, breaking the Kings' illusion that his ankle injury had not yet healed. Wade turned into a point guard and sent James 4 in the first quarter. Assists, the wonderful connection between the two, even the Kings fans watched it wonderfully.On the King's side, they only relied on Cousins' piecemeal inside shots and He Yixiang and Casspi each hitting a three-pointer.In the first quarter, the Heat opened up a 28-point gap at 15:13.

"The combination of these two people really has the potential to challenge the strongest duo in history. They are both offensive and defensive outside superstars, not to mention the top five power forwards in the league in their team." This time even Smith They are a bit afraid to be optimistic about the king, "But at the same time, this is also a challenge for He. He needs this kind of game to stimulate his potential."
