NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

The Heat had the ball. Wade looked at his big brother Carter, who was facing him.

He was very excited. He had proved his worth in the playoffs.

However, he had never faced a strong scorer like Carter in the playoffs.

The two teams only defended each other when they switched defense occasionally.

NBA coaches are not stupid. They rarely use their own trump cards to face the opponent's trump cards.

They usually let the players who do the dirty work in the team to consume the physical strength of the opponent's trump cards.

The trump cards of their own team are used for offense.

This is the conventional use of stars. It is not the kind of direct confrontation and life-and-death struggle.

Such situations rarely happen.

But this time is different. Carter took the initiative to volunteer and he was mentally prepared. He was eager to have a hearty duel with the pride of this new era.

Wade's several attempts to break through were firmly blocked by Carter.

Carter was immersed in his defense and was extremely focused.

Wade was aroused to compete and fight, and the two began to fight.

Relatively speaking, Carter's defense was not that good, but he was still able to deal with Wade with his super physical fitness.

Continuous attacks were resolved by the opponent, and Wade was directly furious.

Since soft tactics didn't work, he would just use hard tactics. He retreated half a step and left space for himself to start a breakthrough.

The strong body hit Carter. Wade's strength was not small.

Carter's strength was not vegetarian.

If he didn't have a strong force to support him, he would not be able to frequently perform dunks in the NBA where there are so many tall people.

The two of them were at loggerheads, and the collision brought out anger.

Wade gritted his teeth and pushed forward, but Carter pushed against his body and refused to give in.

Although Wade, a sophomore, was quite strong, he still lost to Carter.

He could only be pushed further and further out by Carter.

During the breakthrough, Wade still found an opportunity.

The person who breaks through is always much faster than the defender's lateral movement. His speed is half a body ahead of Carter.

He used this half body to take a step and then jump and throw a backward shot.

Carter and he jumped almost at the same time. Wade's rhythm was very good. Half a beat before Carter jumped, he shot before Carter flew to the highest point. Carter's vertical jump was higher, but he was still half a beat late in blocking.

Wade lost the aerial confrontation.

"Ding"

With a slight sound, the basketball bounced, stumbled and fell into the basket.

There was a component of luck, but his good ball sense helped him score the ball, which was also related to his soft touch.

Carter, who picked up the ball under the basket, slammed the ball on the floor in frustration.

Then he stepped out of the sideline and passed the ball to Kidd.

Kidd obviously knew Carter's mood. After halftime, he didn't wait for him to ask for the ball and took the initiative to give it to Carter.

Wade was already waiting for Carter on the three-point line.

He lowered his body, lowered his center of gravity, and opened his hands.

Across from Wade, Carter bent over, dribbled the ball, and looked into the court with his eyes.

He signaled his teammates to spread out and open up space for him to play one-on-one.

With 10 seconds left on the offensive time, he slowly began to accelerate.

He leaned on Wade and began to break through with strength and confrontation.

Wade has good footwork. He is definitely a good defender when he is young. Even if he is not tall, he can still use his speed to make up for his height deficiency.

Carter rushed forward a few steps, and the two wrestled with each other. The inertia of the breakthrough made Wade's center of gravity shifted backwards.

When Wade's center of gravity was still behind, Carter stopped his body.

He suddenly stopped his breakthrough and pulled back the basketball in his hand, followed by a side step.

The action was done in one go. Wade's center of gravity shifted and he couldn't defend at all.

He could only watch Carter shoot in front of him.

"Shua"

Carter made a mid-range shot.

This is the charm of the playoff star showdown.

The two points finally started to compete in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Carter also missed the days when he, Ray Allen and Iverson loved and killed each other in the playoffs.

Four years have passed in a blink of an eye.

I thought it would be difficult for me to have the same passion as before after the serious injury.

Today, it seems that youth has returned.

The third quarter became a show of competition between the two.

Wade scored 12 points in the third quarter

Carter had more experience and scored 16 points, which gave him a slight advantage in scoring.

The Nets also recovered from a 15-point deficit at halftime to a 9-point deficit at the end of the third quarter.

79 to 73, the Nets were 6 points behind,

still within an acceptable range.

In the Heat rest area, Stan Van Gundy was anxious on the sidelinesPacing,

He didn't want to return to the home court with a score of 2-0 behind, which would be too much pressure for the team.

Besides, the Heat had a tiebreaker in the last round. If they went to the seventh game again in this round, it would be a huge test for the team.

"Shaq, you need to attack more in the fourth quarter. Dwyane has been attacking in the third quarter. You should have recovered a lot of physical strength. Try to take them down in the fourth quarter."

O'Neal nodded.

This was the tactic set by the team in advance. O'Neal was responsible for the key moments of the first and fourth quarters.

At other times, Wade needed to make good offensive connections.

After all, the 34-year-old Shark could no longer be full of energy and kill all four quarters.

He had to make a choice. As long as he could distribute O'Neal's physical strength,

then he would be no different from his peak.

In the third quarter, O'Neal obviously weakened his offensive and missed consecutive shots.

Chandler, who was observing from the sidelines, felt confident again. The violent Shark couldn't do anything to him.

The docile Shark was not a shark, but a dolphin!

Chandler instantly felt that he was back to normal.

Roy gave Carter some advice.

Carter was in great form tonight, scoring 32 points in three quarters.

It can be seen that he not only had to attack but also had to relax Wade. Such a high-intensity confrontation would undoubtedly consume a lot of physical strength.

Roy suggested that he play more pick-and-rolls and cuts, which would reduce physical strength consumption on the one hand and disrupt the Heat's defense on the other.

The moment of the fourth quarter decisive battle came, Chandler returned to the court instead of Collins,

The basket won the right, Carter, who received the ball outside the three-point line, faced Wade again,

Two people on the court played the game while others watched,

Carter didn't plan to do so, Roy pulled to the three-point line at his signal,

After the pick-and-roll, Carter chose to break through directly in the face of Haslem's defense,

Haslem and Carter's steps were obviously struggling, not tired, but mainly because of his weight and body shape in the interior, he couldn't catch up with the guard's steps,

Carter passed him lightly in two steps,

Then facing O'Neal who came to make up for the defense,

Carter lightly hit the ground and passed the ball to Chandler under the basket,

Chandler, who was unguarded, happily received the ball and prepared to dunk,

"Ah" screamed, Chandler was pulled down from mid-air by O'Neal,

He didn't fall to the ground, the big shark still protected him with one hand,

O'Neal raised his hand to indicate that he had committed a foul.
