Chapter 121 Wade Was Sealed on the Floor

Looking back, Wade made a pick-and-roll with Odom again, and then passed back to the latter, who made a two-point shot and made the ball.

For the next time, the Heat focused on outside pick-and-rolls, either Odom shot or Wade shot himself, and rarely scored inside.

At the end of the first quarter, the score reached 20:27, and the Suns led by 7 points at home.

"A defensive team scored 27 points in one quarter, and their offensive power is not weak. No wonder they averaged hundreds of points per game." Riley silently observed everything about the Suns.

Of course, his observation center is Li Ba.

Li Ba is the well-deserved defensive core of the Suns, but in his opinion, to a large extent, he is also the initiator of the Suns' offense now.

Especially fast breaks. In one quarter, Li Ba grabbed the backcourt rebounds and directly launched four fast breaks, all of which were successful. The success rate was terrible.

Li Ba grabbed a total of 5 backcourt rebounds and launched 4 fast breaks, which shows that the Suns have a strong fast break ability. They are all successful, indicating that the fast break execution is stronger.

Li Ba also grabbed two offensive rebounds and had two second offenses, one to Joe Johnson and one to Marbury.

In other words, the offense initiated by him grabbing the rebound was as high as 6 times.

He looked at the data recorded for Li Ba in his hand, 4 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block, 2 assists, 0 turnovers and 1 foul.

But these statistics can't fully show Li Ba's role on the court, regardless of the offensive and defensive ends.

Because of the four successful fast breaks, only one assist was counted.

He looked at the data of his two insiders again, which added up to 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.

"well!"

He sighed.

Colangelo is not in Phoenix today, and he feels he needs to find a time to chat with him.

"Big cheeks, doing well."

When he was leaving the field, Li Ba patted Wade on the shoulder passing by.

Wade patted Li Ba's hand away in distaste, and said proudly and depressingly, "I will catch up with you. You, James, and Anthony will definitely not be able to leave me behind."

He made 4 of 5 shots in this quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, 10 points in a single quarter, and 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Unfortunately, he made 3 turnovers.

"Why don't you go into the paint area? Are you afraid of me?" Li Ba laughed.

Wade glanced at it, and saw the malicious smile on Li Ba's face. He knew that the other party was provoking him, but he couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily, "Wait until I break your ankle."

"Haha, I often dream about beautiful women. But those dreams can be realized if you have money. But your dream will never be realized." Li Ba laughed loudly.

"Wait and see!"

Wade said not to be outdone.

In the second quarter, on the bench, Posey continued to play for the Suns, playing at the second position, while Battier played at the third position.

Haslem continued to play on the Heat's side, with him as the core of the bench lineup.

In the ninth minute, the game was evenly matched, the score was 34:39, and the Heat pulled back 2 points.

Xiaoha grabbed four rebounds in nine minutes, demonstrating his rebounding skills very well, worthy of his status as the future captain of the Heat and the leader in rebounding in team history.

Then the main force played the rest of the game, and the score reached 41:49. The Heat's main force did not live up to the bench and fell behind by 8 points.

Wade tried a few jump shots after breaking through in the past three minutes, but he didn't enter the paint area of ​​the Suns. The distance was a bit far, and the touch was not good. He made 0 of 3 shots and only got one foul from Marion. He made 2 of 2 free throws. , scored 2 points.

Come back from the half-time break and start the second half.

In the third quarter, the Heat serve from the bottom line.

Wade holds the ball on the left-wing three-point line, and he still intends to make a breakthrough, which is his strongest point.

But this time, he intends to go in.

Breakthrough into the paint area can compress the opponent's defense and create open opportunities for your teammates. Of course, you can also shoot yourself. This kind of breakthrough is of course more threatening.

Wade was ready to break through, anyone could see that.

Marbury was engrossed.

The other Heat players all pulled away, and at the same time took away the Suns' defensive players, clearing the Suns' paint area.

The right wing is low, and the weak-side center Grantela goes to the short corner, and Marion can only keep up.

The left wing is low, and Xiao Ha pulled to the short corner area. Of course, Li Ba couldn't follow like Marion. This is the strong side, and he has to protect the basket.

But Xiaoha's withdrawal also forced him to be unable to enter the paint area, so he could only guard the left edge of the paint area, with one eye on Xiaoha and the other on Wade.

"squeak!"

As Wade started the first step forward, there was a sharp friction sound.

Marbury's defense was mediocre, and even with his full concentration, he couldn't prevent Wade's first step at a historical level, and was directly rushed over.

He secretly tugged at the jersey, but it didn't do much.

Not only did Wade's first step belong to the historical level, but his speed also belongs to the historical level.

At this time, like a black lightning, he inserted into the sun's paint area.

At this time, Li Ba either directly dropped Xiaoha, who was one meter away, and went directly to the basket, or let Wade drive straight in.

He chose the latter.

Wade is a combo guard. Although he is good at attacking, his assist ability is not weak, and Xiaoha's mid-range shot...is average. Therefore, Li Ba can leave Xiaoha in the short corner.

But he didn't lose it because he wanted Wade to go in.

Seeing that Li Ba didn't enter the basket first to defend, he was worried about him passing the ball to Xiaoha. Wade was overjoyed and accelerated from Li Ba's body into the paint area.

One step, two steps, he jumped high, holding the ball in his right hand, his body was like a full bow, he pulled forward in an instant, and slashed towards the Suns' basket with his right arm.

"careful!"

At this moment, Haslem's voice sounded from behind,

"What?"

At this moment, Wade felt the wind behind him.

At the same time, a giant yellow hand stretched over his head, frantically slamming the basketball he smashed into the basket.

"Snapped!"

The basketball moved in the opposite direction and bounced towards the Suns' frontcourt.

"Boom!"

Wade lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"oh!!!!!!!!"

There was an exclamation in the American West Arena.

At the same time, the people on the benches of the two teams jumped up instantly.

The Suns cheered, and the Heat exclaimed.

Pat Riley could still sit still, but with his mouth open and his body straightened without leaning back in the chair.

"Flood control dam! Flood control dam! Flood control dam..."

There was a huge shout in the American West Arena, and countless palms began to shake, which made people dizzy.

In the frontcourt of the Suns, shooting guard Joe Johnson ran desperately and finally picked up the basketball before it rolled out of the baseline, and then made an easy layup and scored 2 points.

"Another bloody block from the dam boss, who sent it to this year's No. 5 pick in the first round, from the Heat's point guard, Dwyane Wade."

The roar of the Suns commentator resounded through the arena again.

"Hey rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

Gazing fiercely at Wade who just got up from the ground, Li Ba said very "enthusiastically".

While rubbing his buttocks, Wade sprayed: "You damn guy, you have a big stinky mouth, I will give it back to you."

"Remember, rookie, don't jump too much in front of me. I have only one reaction to all jumping and flying pests, just slap them to death." Li Ba sneered.

"I'm not a pest!" Wade said angrily.

Looking at the angry Wade, Li Ba was very happy.

As long as the guy ahead of him is selected, he wants to cover all of them.

Especially like this kind of lottery show, one can cover ten times, as long as he is willing to come in.

As for James, when it happens, he feels that he will definitely have the motivation to run outside the three-point line to block the shot.
