Chapter 94 093: The secret of defending Wade, Ryan and I can’t be restricted!
Although it is only the third season, the Super Platinum Generation who entered the industry in 2003 have already entered the discussion of "the best players in the league" in the spring of 2006.
Ryan, James, Wade and Anthony, the top four of the 2003 class, each led their own teams to wreak havoc in the league.
Anthony has been performing killer shots again and again in Toronto this season.
In the first two seasons of his career, Anthony contributed a total of two buzzer beaters.
But this season alone, Anthony has already staged five buzzer beaters!
It is worth mentioning that when beating other opponents, Anthony did not hit the winning shot on top of the opponent's star's head.
For example, in the decisive victory over the Lakers and Timberwolves, Anthony did not score directly on Kobe and Garnett.
But in that decisive victory over the Cavaliers, when he faced No. 23 one-on-one, he sealed his throat with a sword! This goal fully reflects Anthony's poor outlook on the overall situation, and James's valuable spirit of daring to face the opponent's star at the last moment!
Five buzzer beaters, averaging 26.5 points per game. This guy with the most comprehensive mid-range duel skills has become the King of the North in the post-Carter era of Toronto!
On the other side, Wade averaged 27 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. O'Neal even said bluntly: "Dwayne is the core of the Heat."
It's obvious that Pat Riley didn't let the Heat do their best during the regular season. Except for Wade and Haslem, the team basically has no stable starter.
The shark fished for three days and dried the net for two days, but the white chocolate dragon was nowhere to be found.
Riley is well aware that this aging Heat needs good maintenance to perform in the playoffs. If we just work hard in the regular season, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persist until the end.
But even so, even if the Heat are unable to start half of the games, the Heat's record is still the best in the Eastern Conference, with more than 10,000 people behind the Pistons.
All this is thanks to Wade.
Pat Riley even publicly claimed in front of the media: "Dwayne is Jordan who is five centimeters shorter"!
This shows how dominant Wade is this season.
As for Ajan, although he was very embarrassed after the Christmas game, he was not beaten throughout the season.
At least so far, the Cavaliers' record is excellent.
And James has the most triple-doubles among all players so far this season, having already won 6 times!
There are even terrifying triple-doubles such as 47 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.
Why is James still so popular despite being slapped in the face like crazy? Because James is good at food, only compared to Ryan.
But compared with most players in the league, apart from his slightly swollen face, Ajan's performance this season is indeed considered a star.
As for Ryan, he's the scariest.
Leading the team to first place in the Western Conference, they are only a hair away from the first-place Pistons in the league.
The most frightening thing is that at the beginning of the season, Ryan, who easily scored 40 points against his opponent, now started to score 40 points easily!
Ryan's performance in these four games after the Christmas Day game sent many people into panic.
It gives people the illusion that "Ryan was just warming up before, and now he is really going to start sprinting."
But the problem is that during the warm-up, Ryan had already pushed many people to the point of rolling their eyes. How can this be an official sprint?
The performance of the top four in 2003 was frighteningly strong.
The duel between them has also become the focus of fans' attention since the Christmas war.
On January 13, Lane led the Denver miners to march north and broke into the ice and snow of Toronto.
Commander Gua vowed before the game: "I will defend my home court to the death!"
Then he made 5 of 17 in the game and scored 16 points with a shooting percentage of less than 30, a crazy tribute to the Christmas limited edition Ajan.
Then why are you laughing? Do you need weapons to defend your home court? Do you need iron to make weapons? Marshal Gua obtained so much fine iron for the team and made great contributions, which is really great!
Angua's offense is indeed too touchy.
This is one of the reasons why his offensive efficiency has not been very high.
When facing others, when he can't hit jump shots, he can still rely on back-up play and breakthroughs to score points.
Don't think that the current melon can only shoot. He has not gained weight yet, but he can occasionally fly into the sky and escape.
But facing Ryan, Anthony had no choice but to take a difficult jump shot.
Once you feel bad, you can only hit the iron like crazy.
So today, Anthony's efficiency is so low that he seems to have returned to his rookie season.
The only consolation for Toronto fans is probably: "At least Anthony doesn't keep passing!"
On the other hand, Ryan scored 35 points and shot 53% from the field.
The personal performances of the two were also faithfully reflected in the score. The Nuggets finally narrowly defeated the Raptors 112-79, almost creating another 40-point massacre.
Anthony hugged Ryan after the game and frantically clicked on Ryan’s creaking nest:
"Now that you have a new Pippen, you really don't give me the face of the old Pippen! You will kill him as soon as you meet him! You scumbag who loves the new and hates the old!
Oh, men all like novelty! "
Angua didn't even realize that he had confidently regarded himself as Ryan's Pippen.
So far, Ryan's record against the other three top players in the 2003 session is 2 wins and 1 loss!
On the road to stamp collecting, Wade is the only one left!
Wade and the Heat are also the opponents Ryan has always wanted to win.
After all, they were the 2006 championship team in the original history!
Wade has never lost a match against a player from the 2003 class so far!
Wade has maintained a complete victory against James, Anthony and Ryan.
He seems to be the hidden king of the 2003 class!
In view of the fact that the top four in 2003 have become extremely popular since spring, the popularity of this game has also increased.
ESPN even temporarily upgraded it to a national live broadcast.
On the streets of Miami, more and more fans are wearing the Heat's No. 3 jerseys and shouting on the streets:
"Dwayne should be the most noteworthy player in the 2003 class!"
On the Internet, Denver fans were naturally unconvinced; "Ryan leads the team to first place in the Western Conference! The Heat moved to the Western Conference and can only be ranked fifth! Why is Wei Er, the idiot, the king of the 2003 class?"
The topic of who is the strongest in the 2003 class, Wade or Ryan, has caused endless debate among fans. O'Neal even personally came off the stage to add fuel to the fire in the talk show opener:
"Dwayne is the best player I've ever played with, better than Ryan, and much better than the guy in Los Angeles."
Kobe quickly responded: "Kwame Brown is the strongest five position I have ever worked with."
However, the focus of this matter is not the war of words between Shark and Kobe, but the battle between Ryan and Wade for the best in the 2003 class.
Ryan and Wayne actually have a good relationship in private. After all, they were comrades who worked together on the Dream Team.
But now, after all, each has his own master, so both of them are very eager to win each other.
James looked at the news and felt like crying.
Ryan and Wade, the strongest in the 2003 class. When did I lose the qualification to be the second best?
Now when discussing the topic of "the strongest in the 2003 class", don't I even deserve to have "one" after my name?
Ryan was used to this kind of topic. I competed with James before, and now I compete with Wade. There is no way, strong people will always be compared with others.
Jordan has been retired for so many years, isn't he still being criticized?
But this time Ryan knew that Wade's strength was not blown out by the media like someone else.
In fact, Wade is a bit too low-key at the media level.
Last season, if not for injuries, Wade might have successfully reached the Finals before Ryan.
What is this concept? James didn't even make it to the playoffs last season, but Wade almost made it to the finals!
Are you saying that Wade's ability to hug O'Neal's thigh is not considered a skill? No, it was O'Neal who was holding Wade's lap last season!
In the three-round series played by the Heat last year, Wade was the Heat's sharpest attack point.
In the first round, Wade averaged 26.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists with a 50% shooting rate.
O'Neal only scored 18.3 points, and his shooting percentage was only 47.3%. His efficiency was not as high as that of a guard like Wade!
In the second round, Wade stepped up his game, averaging 31 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game! For comparison, the Sharks averaged 17.5 points and 7 rebounds per game.
In the third round against the Pistons, O'Neal finally averaged 20 points per game with a shooting rate of nearly 60%, but Wade was still able to efficiently average 25.8 points per game.
And the Heat collapsed without Wade.
If you want to say that Wade hugged the shark's thigh, then it really only makes sense if you put aside the facts.
Ryan knows that Wade is difficult to deal with. The Nuggets suffered a big loss the last time they met.
But the Nuggets are not completely helpless. They have Bird, a coach with a high golf quotient when he was a player!
Since the last loss to the Heat, Bird has been studying Wade's game tape.
The more I look at Bird, the more I feel that Wade is really five centimeters shorter than Jordan.
Can.
He is not the real Jordan after all!
He also has weaknesses!
Through a lot of video and data analysis, Bird found a way to contain Wade that might work.
But no matter how good the coach is, it's still useless. The key lies in whether the players can implement it.
But for Ryan, who was second in DPOY last season, Bird is full of confidence.
Bird's strategy, coupled with Ryan's ability. This makes Big Bird firmly believe that extinguishing the heat is just around the corner!
The secret of defending Wade will be exposed to everyone soon!
On January 18, the Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz at home.
The next battle is the focus of the Heat VS Nuggets.
So at the press conference after the game, reporters also asked a lot of questions related to the next game.
One of the reporters asked Bird: "About Dwayne, what do you think are the similarities and differences between him and Ryan?"
Bird looked serious:
“They are both very good players, but there are big differences.
The big difference is that Ryan, like me, can't be boxed in, but Dwayne can. "
After this sentence was spread, Wade himself had no reaction, but O'Neal exploded:
“Larry always boasts that he is very powerful, and he knows right away that both he and Ryan can be restrained!
As for what he said about restricting Dwayne? Haha, wish him good luck!
In the next game, Dwayne's scoring, assists, and rebounds will all be better than Ryan's! "
O'Neal was not polite to Bird at all, because during this period, Shark didn't like Bird very much, or was a little jealous of Bird.
In the original history, Shark himself admitted after retiring: "At the beginning, I thought Bird was just an ordinary player with a slightly higher golf quotient."
Of course, O'Neal later changed this perception. But at least now, the Sharks really can't bear to hear Bird pretending to beep all day long.
He couldn't go off to beat Bird in person, so he could only beat Ryan to vent his anger!
On the 20th, when the huge thing walked into the Pepsi Center, he made a face at the camera:
"The number one in the West will soon become the number two in the West"
At this stage, because the Spurs' record is tied with the Nuggets, if the Nuggets lose this game, they will be overtaken by the Spurs in the rankings.
When O'Neal said this, he was naturally confident that he could escape from Denver tonight.
However, no Denver reporters jumped out to question the Sharks.
Because today's Heat is a rare opportunity to play with a complete lineup!
On the court, the Heat's five tigers are White Chocolate, Wade, Antoine Walker, Haslem and Shark.
A team filled with the muscular defensive style of the 1990s Knicks.
Under the pressure of Riley's "basketball version of Al Pacino", even the Sharks have to work hard to defend.
But unlike the Knicks, the Heat have achieved a balanced offense and defense.
The Heat's defense is not among the top five in the league, and their offense is not among the top five in the league.
But both items are among the top ten in the league!
This is actually quite an achievement.
Phoenix's offense is bright, but its defense is third-to-last.
The Cavaliers' defense ranks ninth in the league this year, but their offense, led by what Cleveland media calls "the best point guard outside Nash and Kidd," ranks only 15th.
The Spurs' defense is the best in the league, but their offense is ninth from the bottom.
Both offense and defense rank in the top ten. There are actually only three teams that can do this this season: the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Heat.
Among them, the Mavericks and Heat are the teams that have reached the finals in original history!
This shows how powerful the Heat are with a complete lineup.
Bird looked at the Heat's lineup and crossed his arms. I hope that method can help Ryan limit Wade.
The starters from both sides were already in place. After the referee's whistle blew, the Sharks fought for the ball first.
White Chocolate handed over the ball immediately after halftime. In people's minds, Bai Qiao should be a very fancy point guard. But in fact, his style of play during the Heat was quite simple.
Wade is the team's real point of possession, and Bai Qiao exists more as a three-point shooter who can pass the ball in the Heat.
Wade took the ball at the top of the arc and faced off with Ryan. As soon as he came up, he was going to duel with Ryan!
Ryan opened his arms and took two steps as usual.
Wade smiled and defended me without even taking a step!
He observed Ryan's defense, and then immediately broke through to Ryan's left side!
Sure enough, Wade flashed past Ryan, surprisingly fast!
AK47 immediately assisted in the defense. He did not directly double-team, but only blocked Wade's breakthrough route.
When Wade saw this, he stopped in the mid-range and shot a jumper!
But what surprised Wade was that Ryan seemed to see through his mind!
That Nuggets No. 0 seemed to know that Wade was going to make a sudden stop for a jump shot, but was not thrown away by Wade's sudden stop. Wade jumped up at almost the same time and stretched out his hand to block it!
For this reason, Wade was even forced to lean back slightly in the air in order to gain space for his shot.
But it didn't work. Ryan's timing was so perfect that he blocked Wade's shot directly to the three-point line! That's right, Ryan's not just a casualty, but a solid bloody risk!
There are very few players who can block the opponent's pull-up jump shot like this!
Wade was a little surprised. Could Ryan predict the future? Why is his defensive timing so good?
After blocking the basketball, Ryan quickly passed by Wade and picked up the ball. Although Wade is also very fast, there is a process of turning around and accelerating after all, so Ryan takes the lead.
Ryan advanced quickly with the ball. When Wade was about to catch up with Ryan, Ryan threw the ball into the air.
Kirilenko, who followed up from the other side, jumped high and scored with an alley-oop dunk with both hands!
In the first round, Ryan successfully defended Wade.
This made Riley frown.
But it doesn't matter, it's normal for Ryan to guard Wade for one or two rounds.
But overall, Wade will not be prevented from death!
But one round later, Wade was guarded again!
The lightning-fast Heat's acceleration on No. 3 made the audience seem to see afterimages.
He actually ran into Ryan's arms! Ryan directly blocked Wade's breakthrough from the front!
On the Heat bench, the face of the Miami Godfather was full of astonishment.
It's just that Ga Wade shot. How could Ryan block Wade's breakthrough! ?
Wade himself is also surprised. Most of the time, as soon as he accelerates, his opponents can only suck his exhaust and pray for help from the inside.
Even an elite defender like Ryan can only bite Wade in the side.
But Ryan actually blocked Wade's breakthrough head-on!
After being pinned to death by Ryan, Wade found it difficult to speed up and escape a second time. He had no choice but to pass the ball to the shark inside.
After the Sharks got the ball, they were about to ignore Webber and go straight up, but Nene, who came up to help defend, took action in time and patted the ball down.
The Heat's offense failed again!
Although it was the Sharks who made the mistake in the end, everyone knew very well that the main reason for the Heat's offensive failure was that Wade was held down by Ryan!
For two consecutive rounds, Ryan made an almost impossible defense!
The camera shows Big Bird, a middle-aged man with a double chin showing no expression on his face. But in fact, Bird was ecstatic inside!
The strategy he laid out really worked!
Why did Ryan almost predict the future and block Wade's jumper? Because both data and video show that when Wade breaks through to the left, his shooting output and efficiency are much higher than those from the right.
In other words, Wade is more inclined to make mid-range shots on the left side.
So Bird arranged for AK47 to help block Wade's breakthrough on the left. Once Wade saw that the breakthrough route was blocked, he would subconsciously choose to use a pull-up jumper to end the attack.
Only then could Ryan predict Wade's attempt to make a sudden jump shot.
As for Ryan's ability to block Wade's lightning breakthrough just now, it is because when Wade breaks through to the right, his mid-range shooting percentage is very low, and his tendency to take mid-range shots is not high. There is a high probability that he will directly kill the basket.
Therefore, Ryan's defensive position is not directly in front of Wade, but to the right of Wade! Wade speeds up, and Ryan doesn't need to move too much laterally to block Wade!
Faced with Wade's distinctive characteristic of "shooting from the left and rushing from the right", it is much easier for Ryan to defend Wade!
On the left, the team mainly relied on teammates to help block Wade's breakthrough route, and Ryan defended the emergency stop jumper.
On the right, Ryan himself can block Wade and prevent him from easily getting close to the basket.
This strategy makes Ryan seem to be able to predict Wade's actions. In the past, to defend Wade, we could only defend him hard. But now, Ryan feels like he is writing a paper with standard answers!
Having pinched Wade for two consecutive rounds made Riley a little worried.
Once is fine, but twice in a row, it’s definitely not bad luck!
After the Heat's offense failed again, it was the Nuggets' offense.
Bird glanced at Riley, his old rival who led the Lakers to the legendary Showtime in the 1980s, and sat back on the bench with peace of mind.
Riley, Riley, don't be so surprised now.
It’s never too late to be surprised after watching Ryan’s offense!
I said Ryan can't limit it, which may make you very unhappy, but... you know me, I'm not kidding!
No matter how outrageous things come out of my mouth, they will become reality!
Since Ryan took the initiative to increase the proportion of holding the ball, Bird has been thinking of ways to expand Ryan's diversity on the offensive end.
Playing a pick-and-roll with the ball? It’s just one of the ways to play.
The reason why Ryan's scoring has skyrocketed recently is because his offense has become more and more elusive.
The Nuggets' offense was no different from the past at first.
Ryan ran without the ball, and Wade followed up with ease.
Ryan waited for several laps and finally reached the top of the arc outside the three-point line to receive Miller's pass. Then he raised the ball above his head and prepared to shoot a three-pointer!
Wade immediately jumped out. He clearly seemed to be two or three steps away from Ryan, but he rushed to Ryan in just an instant!
In front of the TV, Heat fans cheered in advance. Wade took a risk on this goal!
Like Ryan, Wade can often send out many seemingly impossible blocks.
But Ryan relies on his height and wingspan, while Wade relies on his speed and anticipation!
After all, he is the future guard shot-blocking king and the only guard in history to have blocked 1,000 shots. Wade even surpassed Jordan in terms of blocking shots!
Even if Ryan's shot is very fast, Heat fans still believe that Wade can block this ball!
In fact, Ryan also believed that Wade could block this ball.
It’s just that I didn’t want to take action at all
After Ryan raised the ball above his head and fired Wade, he immediately took back the basketball and passed Wade!
Because of Wade's "instant start" talent fragment, Ryan's dribbling starts very quickly. It was like a kick on the floor, and he rushed to the free throw line in an instant!
Seeing this situation, Antoine Walker immediately covered up the defense, and Shark and Haslem immediately closed the penalty area.
Ryan paused at the free throw line and looked at the released AK47, seemingly about to pass the ball.
Walker cursed secretly and immediately rushed towards Kirilenko again.
At the same time, Shark and Haslem also canceled the contraction, because Kirilenko is a good setter, and he is very likely to feed the ball to Nene or Webber at the moment of receiving the ball.
Riley let out a big sigh. No matter what, it's always good to force Ryan to pass the ball.
Players like Ryan who have weaker ball-holding ability will not be able to run with the ball for a long time.
In fact, Riley also noticed that most of Ryan's ball-holding offenses only involved one move, and then he either shot or passed.
As a result, this time, Ryan took a step but did not pass the ball. Instead, he suddenly dribbled into the inside like a sharp knife. He just made a fake pass!
Ryan broke through immediately after passing the fake pass, and started so fast that even O'Neal and Haslem had no time to shrink! When they rushed back to the penalty area and jumped up to block it, Ryan had already succeeded in a one-handed chop!
From the fake shot from beyond the three-point line, to the fake pass from the free throw line, to the final breakthrough into the penalty area for a dunk. The entire process of Ryan's singles attack with the ball was extremely smooth!
Don't forget, when Layne pauses and starts again, he can still enjoy the effect of Wade's instant start talent to increase the speed of the first step of dribbling!
That's why Ryan broke into the paint so fast that O'Neal and Haslem had no time to react!
Riley believes that the understanding that "Ryan's offense with the ball means passing or shooting with one move" is completely outdated!
With Wade's talent, Ryan's offensive richness with the ball has greatly increased!
"Ryan, this is one of the few times where he breaks through with the ball from outside the three-point line and attacks in the three-second zone! He is obviously more comfortable on the offensive end!"
"With beautiful rhythm and fake moves, Ryan's threat without the ball is too big, so Wade's decision is understandable. It's just that Ryan's threat with the ball now is not at the same level as before."
Denver’s on-field commentators were full of praise for Ryan.
After watching Ryan's offense, it was as Bird expected, and Riley was even more shocked.
Bird shook his head, wondering what Riley was surprised about.
Because I said it tomorrow morning.
Ryan, you can't limit it!
Defense, there is a way to deal with Wade.
Offensively, Ryan's combination of with and without the ball made the Heat hard to defend.
On both offense and defense, the Nuggets have the advantage.
So next.
Harvest victory!
As for the rude shark, Bird didn't bother to care about him.
Ryan, he will accept him!
Thanks to book friend 20220319182707561, Jackysn and other big guys for the rewards, thank you all!
