Chapter 502 Proof of the Heat's Soul
As a superstar with high spirits, Wade wants to prove himself and the Heat through this game!
Because the Warriors shaved their heads in the finals, it was a great shame for Heat fans.
Wade, the soul of the Heat, certainly couldn't swallow this breath.
So he wants revenge!
If they can beat the Warriors, then Wade will be able to turn around, and it will also send a signal that the Heat can also beat the championship without James.
The media and fans will have doubts about James' role in the Heat.
The Warriors also attach great importance to this game, after all, they just met in the finals.
Zhou Yang wanted to know if the Heat still had the strength to enter the Finals this season.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the Heat played against the uncrowned champion Warriors at home.
The Warriors' starting lineup is still Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Barbosa.
The Heat's starting five are Wade, Bosh, Jamison, Ray Allen and Chalmers.
With a jump ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of the ball for the Warriors.
Curry dribbles through half court, faces Chalmers, Curry calls a pick-and-roll, and Turkoglu comes to screen.
Then Jamison was traded in front of Curry.
Curry didn't hit it himself, but handed the ball to Turkoglu.
In the East, it was Turkoglu who played.
The agent did not let Curry down. He faced Chalmers, made big and small shots, and made easy three-pointers!
Swish!
Turkoglu gave the Heat a head start!
The noise of the Heat fans stopped abruptly.
Wade raised his arms and told his teammates not to panic, but to play steadily.
Chalmers advances with the ball to the frontcourt and passes the ball to Wade.
Barbosa defends Wade.
Although the Brazilian Lightning is fast, his defensive skills are not as good as Tony Allen, so he was thrown away by Wade's sharp change of direction.
Wade went near the penalty area, and before Chandler's supplementary defense was in place, he made a direct mid-range shot, whoosh!
Two points to hand.
This is Wade, who is extremely efficient and invincible in the mid-range shot.
3:2, the Warriors lead.
The Warriors attacked, Zhou Yang held the ball in the backcourt, and he found that the Heat did not double-team him.
So Zhou Yang advanced to the frontcourt, and faced Ray Allen's defense, he also made a breakthrough in a change of direction.
Although Ray Allen is old, he is extremely self-disciplined and has good physical fitness.
Although Zhou Yang threw him half a body away, Ray Allen still clings to Zhou Yang, not giving him a chance to make a move.
Zhou Yang reached the bottom line and glanced at Chandler.
Ray Allen thought that Zhou Yang was going to pass the ball to Chandler, so he immediately reached out to block it.
This action gave Zhou Yang a chance to jump up suddenly and make a move!
Ray Allen was very helpless, he could only watch Zhou Yang take off and shoot.
Swish!
Hit steadily.
Wade always wanted to come over to double-team Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang's speed was too fast, and he never had a chance to double-team him.
This goal can be regarded as a response to Wade.
In the next few rounds, the two teams played with great passion and intensity, and it looked like they were playing in the playoffs.
Zhou Yang was also uncharacteristically, he started the offensive mode in the first quarter.
Perhaps it was because the Heat were on the opposite side, and they had just met in the finals and swept their opponents, so Zhou Yang couldn't help but want to play hard.
But Wade and Bosh are not easy to mess with. They tried their best to prove their strength, so they played very hard.
After James came, Bosh changed his style of play and gave up space inside, just to make James' breakthrough smoother.
Now that James is gone, Bosh has started to overwhelm the basket again, reappearing the dragon king style!
Although Chandler's defense is good, but Bosh's offensive routine is very rich, Chandler is a bit hard to defend.
Just over 6 minutes into the first quarter, Chandler committed 2 fouls, and the coach had to replace him.
After Turiaf came up, he couldn't guard Bosh at all, and was beaten again.
Wade has a very high ball quotient. After several times of rushing in the opening game, he found that Bosh had a greater advantage, so he frequently passed the ball to Bosh, and he used his off-ball running to help Bosh open up space.
This style of play is completely different from that of the Big Three in the previous two years.
Bosh's potential was once again realized, and Wade wasn't so tired.
In addition, Jamison's air cuts and ball-handling attacks on the edge of the penalty area are also very threatening.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 31:27, and the Heat led by 4 points.
Both sides came off the bench in the second quarter.
The Heat's bench lineup is more mature, Battier, Cole, Israel Jordan Casspi, Juwan Howard, Jones, and the cooperation is more tacit.
Especially Casspi, his three-pointer is very fierce, which makes up for the lack of the Heat's lack of long-range shooting ability.
The three-pointer battle between Curry and Casspi has become a classic scene of this game.
After Casspi made his debut in the second quarter, he received a breakthrough from Cole, made a three-pointer from the top arc, and made a hit.
Of course Curry wouldn't let them start three times, so in the next round, Curry used his teammates to cover and shoot a three-pointer with the ball at a 45-degree angle. Whoa!
Respond strongly.
Unexpectedly, Casspi was not afraid at all, and took the initiative to ask for the ball, wanting another one.
The Heat's teammates were also very good. They didn't ignore Casspi just because he was a newcomer, and immediately passed the ball again.
Casspi was near the left sideline and made another three-pointer!
Swish!
Three points again.
Zhou Yang stood on the sidelines, stunned.
Curry was even more inspired to fight.
In the next round, Curry attacked with the ball. Facing Battier's defense, he suddenly stepped back and shot a three-pointer at the speed of light!
Swish!
Again a tribute to one.
The fans at the scene jumped up excitedly.
They shouted loudly: "Throw up the three-pointer, Cass is better than the cow!"
The Heat players also got excited, and they began to help Casspi cover, block, and pass the ball.
Casspi received a pass from his teammate near the bottom corner and took the third shot, whoa!
Enter again!
Three shots and three shots, it's amazing!
Curry was not to be outdone, and in the next round, facing double-teams, he barely made a shot from the right.
Unfortunately, under Battier's defense, he was interfered and bounced out of the basket.
But Butler desperately grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Curry.
Taking advantage of Battier's lack of reaction, Curry made another shot!
This is a historical-level shooter. Even if there are multiple three-pointers missed in front, as long as there is an open opportunity, he will still make a strong shot!
Swish!
This time I did not disappoint the expectations of my teammates, hit hollow!
Both of them made three three-pointers, and the score was tight.
The atmosphere at the Heat's home court has reached a climax!
You know, the opposite side is based on three-pointers and won the Warriors for two consecutive championships!
Casspi is also very excited. Since he joined the NBA, he has always been a little transparent and has never had a stable playing time at all.
Every time there is news of a deal, he may be sent out as an extra.
