Chapter 113: I just exerted my strength gently, but you can’t stand it anymore?
In the 2006 Difficult Finals, the whole world had high expectations for Ryan.
Everyone is looking forward to the 2003 No. 1 pick, the chosen one, the youngest MVP and DPOY, to have a beautiful debut in the finals.
Although James failed to enter the finals, Ryan was unable to attack, which somewhat disappointed the fans.
But there is no disappointment that a championship cannot make up for!
Now after the first half of G1 in the finals, the Heat and Nuggets are temporarily tied.
Logically speaking, it is normal for the score to be tied. No matter how high your expectations are for Ryan, you can't expect him to clock out immediately after scoring 60 points at halftime, right?
But at this time, both the fans and the commentators had frightened expressions.
Although the score was high, Wade's performance in the first half was truly disappointing!
Today, Wade made 9 of 14 shots in the half, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 24 points in the half!
Forget about 24 points at halftime, Wade’s key shot rate in the first half was still 64.3%!
In the first round, when Kobe Bryant scored 51 points, his efficiency was not that outrageous!
However, when Ryan and Bird, the two souls of the team, walked into the tunnel after halftime, they did not have too nervous expressions on their faces.
It's like. Everything is under control!
After Ryan and Bird walked into the player tunnel side by side, the reporter also stopped Bird and conducted a midfield interview:
"Larry, although the score was tied in the first half, will Wade's performance make the team nervous?"
Bird yawned: "The Heat should be nervous, because this is the last time they will tie the score tonight. As for Dwayne, his performance in the first half was very good, with about 9 points."
reporter:? ? ?
Although they knew that Bird meant what he said, reporters and fans really couldn't imagine how the Nuggets would hold down Wade in the second half to ensure that the Heat would tie the score for the last time.
In fact, Bird and Ryan also admitted that Wade's performance in the first half was a little beyond expectations.
Ryan thought that after acquiring the "Hunter Instinct" talent, he would be able to easily handle Wade.
But in fact, Ryan still couldn't completely block Wade's breakthrough.
After Wade starts to speed up, even if Ryan reacts immediately and moves sideways immediately, he may still be unable to catch up!
Coupled with the restrictions of the HandCheck rules, it is even more difficult for Ryan to completely lock Wade in the way he defended Ellis.
Not to mention Ryan's one-on-one defense, when Wade starts to speed up, even the people who are helping to defend may not have time to stop him.
After all, The Flash's nickname is not for nothing. Nicknames can best reflect a person's strength, because nicknames are called by others based on your characteristics.
Just like Jordan, people spontaneously called him the GOAT. And this kind of thing, self-proclaimed things often don’t count.
Wade's nickname is not self-proclaimed, but it is clear how much people recognize his speed.
Bird's "left defense, right defense shooting" strategy that frustrated Wade during the regular season was no longer so effective tonight.
Because Wade's mid-range shot in the finals was accurate!
This is not a sudden burst of Wade, but Wade's mid-range shooting has been very accurate throughout the playoffs.
A mid-range shot from a dribble, a mid-range shot from a pick-and-roll, a mid-range shot from a back-up turn, and a mid-range shot from an air cut. There are all kinds of postures, and the shooting rate is not bad.
This makes Wade even more difficult to defend.
Wade has been working hard on his mid-range shooting since losing to Ryan in the regular season. At that time, he said that he would become stronger and come to see Ryan, and he was not just talking about it.
Seriously, Wade is so fast that everyone can't see his skills clearly. In the mid-range area, Wade is indeed very strong after becoming a master.
In addition, Wade also increased the proportion of off-ball offense and pick-and-roll offense today.
Wade may be one of the players in NBA history who is best at using pick-and-rolls to score. You know, even Ryan can make huge improvements in pick-and-roll offense after gaining Wade's "instant start" talent, not to mention Wade himself.
When Wade plays the pick-and-roll, he just needs to be quick.
You can't trap him even if you attack directly, because he can pass directly through the slightest gap formed after the pick and roll!
When Wade saw Ryan today, he was like a horny little girlfriend meeting her long-distance boyfriend. He couldn't wait to show off all of his eighteen martial arts skills, not just a breakthrough.
As for Wade's performance in the first half, even if the Heat lost in the end, he could still say angrily: "The team lost, but I didn't lose!"
Wade's crazy performance made Nuggets fans a little nervous and made Heat fans ecstatic.
But to Weber and Lane, it was like having a 2cm head and no feeling at all!
Wade's 24 points at halftime did somewhat exceed Bird and Ryan's expectations.
But he only slightly exceeded expectations.
Moreover, Wade scored 24 points at halftime, and the Heat could only tie with the Nuggets, which already illustrates the problem - the Nuggets are the dominant side!
In the first half, except for Wade's 24 points in the half, the Heat were almost completely suppressed!
Weber, Nene and Birdman took turns fighting the shark, which made the shark a little overwhelmed and successfully restrained him.
If the quality is not enough, then quantity must be used. The already old Shark has little to do in the face of the rough wheel battle between the three people.
As soon as he catches the ball in the penalty area, two people will definitely attack him.
On the Nuggets court, the rotation of inside players is also very fast. It's either Weber + Nene, or Birdman + Weber, or Birdman + Nene.
In short, these three people take turns to rest, ensuring that they are full of energy around the shark at all times.
In addition, White Chocolate was beaten to the point of crying by the heavy point guard of the Double Blade Turkey.
Antoine Walker couldn't find his touch outside the three-point line today.
And Ryan's offensive performance of 15 points in the half was not bad, and he still played like an MVP player.
The Heat had Wade's 24 points in the half, but they only had Wade's 24 points in the half!
What's more, what Heat fans don't know yet is that in the second half, they will even lose their only comfort, Wade!
Bird can't lead his players into an unprepared battle.
After seeing Wade's series of magical performances in the playoffs, he certainly knew that the strategies used in the regular season would no longer work so well in the Finals.
Therefore, he, Thibodeau and Ryan have long developed new ways to deal with Wade!
But according to the strategy, this method can only be used in the second half.
If he used it for the whole game, Ryan might die of exhaustion before the Heat fell.
So the second half is where the real despair begins!
Back in the locker room, everyone's expressions were not serious.
Ryan and his teammates just took the time to rest and try to end the game in one go in the second half.
The highlights of the Heat are over!
After letting the players rest quietly for a few minutes, Bird's voice broke the silence:
"Ryan, start executing the plan in the second half. Press Wade closely and defend directly. Don't give him too many gaps, just like you did in training!"
If Bird's words were heard by outsiders, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
He actually asked Ryan to press Wade?
Isn’t this suicide?
As we all know, Wade's three-pointers are not accurate. Although he went 2 for 3 in the first half, it was possible to go 0 for 4 in the second half.
This is not a fluke. You must know that Wade's three-point shooting rate in the regular season this season is less than 20%. So far in the playoffs, he has only scored 11 three-pointers. On average, he cannot score one in a game. .
To put it bluntly, Wade's three-point threat is almost negligible.
Faced with a player like this who is not good at three-pointers but is good at breakthroughs, everyone knows that he has to make more shots than breakthroughs.
This is the most basic defensive common sense.
As a result, Bird actually asked Ryan to press Wade closely?
Ryan and Wade couldn't stop his breakthrough even after taking two steps. Wasn't he just looking for someone close to him?
But this counter-intuitive arrangement did not puzzle the players. They all know that this is exactly the right way!
Ryan also nodded, it's time to give Wade more strength!
At this time, the outside world did not know that the Nuggets had countermeasures.
What Bird said in previous interviews was also considered to be a tough talk.
Many fans mocked Bird online: "This is indeed the last time the Heat tie, because they will take the lead next!"
Even TNT commentator Kevin Harlan shook his head when he saw the data comparison between Wade and Ryan, and looked at Reggie Miller next to him:
“Reggie, it seems we made the wrong protagonist before the game.
Dwayne Wade, as Riley said, is completely five centimeters shorter than Jordan!
His breakthrough, his finishing, and his mid-range are all impeccable!
I've never seen a player with such speed and impact.
Devin Harris in Dallas is also very fast, but he is not as strong as Wade, and his lethality is actually average.
Moreover, Dwayne's mid-range jump shot and off-ball offense are also very strong!
Among the rookies in the 2003 class, Ryan and LeBron have always been the ones that everyone paid the most attention to.
But in this year's finals, Dwayne might complete a counterattack! "
Reggie Miller didn't answer. He knew that Bird couldn't let Wade act so unscrupulously.
On the other side, O'Neal was rubbing Wade's head excitedly.
Who in the family understands? Even though my old shark was severely restricted in the first half, the team was still able to tie with the opponent!
Is this the pleasure of hugging your thighs?
That is to say, Wade’s legs are too hairy, otherwise the sharks would want to bite him directly!
Wade himself is also full of confidence. He was quite nervous before. After all, so far in the playoffs, no star who has played against Ryan has had a good ending.
Although Kobe Bryant scored 51 points in Game 1 in the first round, he was abused in the subsequent games.
Let's not talk about Nowitzki and Parker afterwards. They were directly defended by Ryan from beginning to end.
But after the first half, Wade felt that Ryan's defense was only slightly better than others! It’s far from the point where you can contain yourself!
The entire Heat team was full of confidence. Before the start of the second half, Shark came out and accepted a reporter's midfield interview and shouted excitedly:
"I'm about to have one more championship ring than a certain Laker player!"
The Nuggets fans at the scene looked at Wade and gritted their teeth.
The Internet is now full of comments about "Wade is awesome".
Heat fans danced one by one, preparing to witness the team defeat Ryan, who was infinitely optimistic before the game.
In this atmosphere, the second half of the game began.
Heat fans and players didn't know it yet, but the moment the referee's whistle blew, they were already in hell!
The Heat attacked first in the second half, and Wade personally controlled the ball for half the game this time, preparing to take advantage of his excellent condition tonight to continue attacking!
But as soon as the second half started, Wade felt the changes in the Nuggets' defensive end.
In the past, Ryan would just take two big steps away from Wade and watch him from a distance.
But this time, Ryan uncharacteristically pressed on Wade directly near the midfield line and fought with him!
Pat Riley couldn't help but laugh. Is Ryan on top?
If you are so defensive, you can't be defeated by Wade?
Hehe, what DPOY? He's just a 21-year-old fool.
Wade thought the same way. Since Ryan is guarding me personally, I won't be polite.
Wade changed hands during the press, changed direction, and prepared to take off.
But as soon as he kicked off the ground, before he could accelerate, he hit Ryan's chest!
Ryan's judgment was very accurate and his lateral movement was very fast. When the distance was very close, he blocked Wade in time.
In the fierce confrontation, Wade's dribbling rhythm was interrupted and he almost lost the ball. He hurriedly blocked Ryan with his back, readjusted, and then turned around to continue the breakthrough.
But it was still the same as before. As soon as Wade turned around, before he could accelerate, he was blocked by Ryan's strong body again.
Under fierce confrontation, Wade almost dropped the ball again!
That is to say, Ryan's stealing attributes are not high, otherwise the ball is no longer in Wade's hands.
Wade was confused. Why did it suddenly become so difficult to break through?
In the first half, I was able to break out of Ryan's defense in two steps, but now that Ryan is behind him, I can't make a break?
This is unreasonable!
Ryan, what kind of messy plug-in did you open during the halftime break?
Wade took the initiative to retreat, opening up a bit of room for sprinting.
But Ryan actually took the initiative to press forward and didn't give Wade any space!
Daddario's eyes were wet with tears. It would be great if Ryan took the initiative towards me, but you pounced on me like this!
Wade took advantage of Ryan's attack and moved his center of gravity forward, changing direction and heading to Ryan's left side.
This time, it should be impossible for him to be stopped again, right?
But what happened next made Wade doubt his life.
As if Ryan could read his mind, he seemed to move in the direction of his breakthrough in advance, and once again completed the block perfectly before Wade started to speed up!
I thought that Ryan's defense was purely a loss of life, but Wade and Ryan fought near the midfield line for a long time, and Wade was stunned and couldn't get even half a step closer to the three-point line!
Pat Riley was shocked. How could Ryan's defense be so outrageous?
Can he stop Wade over and over again while defending closely?
In the first half, he couldn't stop Wade even if he took two steps!
In fact, it is precisely this kind of defense that can be used to guard against Wade. This is the experience summarized by Bird and Thibodeau after studying for more than half a season!
Wade's speed is so abnormal, he is simply the player with the most perfect combination of speed and strength in NBA history.
Therefore, the normal idea of "shooting more often than sudden" does not apply to Wade at all. If you take a few steps, once Wade speeds up, he will pass people like a wooden stake.
Therefore, the way to restrict Wade is to press hard so that he cannot accelerate from the beginning! In addition, Wade's dribbling skills at this period are not so good that the man and the ball are integrated, so the effect of pressing closely is even better. Didn't Wade almost drop the ball twice under pressing just now?
Bird and Thibodeau mainly discovered that the little-known Hinrich on the Bulls' defense was extremely effective in defending Wade. Not to mention directly preventing Wade from dying, but it does have a restrictive effect.
Hinrich's approach to dealing with Wade was to kill him with his pace and then press him like crazy without giving him a chance to pick up speed.
So, the two of them moved this method over.
Of course, not everyone can use this method.
If you let Hamilton and Prince of the Pistons guard Wade like this, they will be turned into dogs by Wade.
Because this kind of defense requires extremely high abilities from the defender, you must be able to bite Wade's pace and block him at any time so that he cannot accelerate.
And Ryan has exactly this ability. He is already fast in lateral movement, and coupled with his "Hunter Instinct" talent, he can use timely and detailed footwork to block Wade's change of direction before he starts to speed up.
In the past few back and forths, Ryan didn't just rush into Wade after guarding him. Ryan's footsteps never stopped moving, and the entire step was adjusted finely and tightly.
Explosive power, height, coordination and speed, extreme reactions, coupled with active and meticulous steps, it is really impossible to get rid of it!
Anyway, in one sentence, Wade must not be allowed to speed up! By the time he starts to speed up, it's already too late for you to take a few steps to prevent him!
And not everyone has this ability to catch the opponent's steps.
But Ryan can do exactly that!
Bird and Thibodeau had been thinking before that although Hinrich was tall, his physical fitness was average and they were being polite to him.
And such a person with average physical fitness can rely on this method to restrict Wade. If it is used on Ryan, who has excellent physical fitness, it will not kill Wade?
This is also true. As of now, Wade has no way to break through!
But this defense also has drawbacks.
The biggest drawback is that it takes too much physical energy!
This kind of close pressing is okay for one or two rounds, but if it is used too much, it will undoubtedly consume a lot of money.
There were too many hand-to-hand fights in one night, and no one could stand it.
In addition, you must have a tough heart. Things like defense are trivial, complicated, stressful, and tiring. Not everyone can stay focused all the time.
That's why Bird didn't ask Ryan to be so defensive at the beginning, but asked Ryan to exert his strength again in the third quarter!
Just like the Bulls' defense in their last three consecutive championships, it often only started to show strength in the third quarter.
In the first half, the Bulls just took it easy, so there was no need to worry too much.
The third quarter is the beginning of killing the game!
The same goes for the Nuggets today. Just play the regular way in the first half and you are allowed to tie. But it's not up to the Heat to decide how to play the second half!
He only exerted his strength in the third quarter, and by the time the opponent reacted, half of his body was already in the ground!
Seeing Ryan use this method to contain Wade, Bird sat on the bench with peace of mind.
The Heat's last hope is gone now!
Wade then tried several more changes of direction, but was still unable to get rid of Ryan!
At this moment, Wade actually felt like Ellis, unable to break into the three-point line!
At the scene, Nuggets fans cheered!
The desire to win shown by Ryan's hand-to-hand combat with Wade as soon as he came up gave everyone hope of killing the game!
Wade had no choice but to lean on Ryan and charge forward.
But Ryan was completely worthy of Wade in the confrontation. Wade couldn't bear it anymore and had to stop one step inside the three-point line, then raised the basketball to prepare for a strong shot.
But while Ryan was sticking close, he raised his arms in time, blocking Wade's shooting space. Wade didn't even have a chance to shoot!
Wade already had the ball with both hands and could no longer dribble. But Ryan's pressing made him very uncomfortable. The Flash, who was able to block the killer in the first half, can only be pinned to the spot now!
At this time, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.
Riley was overjoyed. Ryan pressed too hard and was called for a foul?
No, Wade walked unknowingly while being pressed!
This means that Ryan's defense in this round was a great success!
The moment the referee gave the penalty, Ryan waved his fist excitedly!
The killing spree can finally begin!
Pat Riley opened his hands at the referee. Is this a move? When we played against the Cavaliers before, there were a lot of shots like James's, but you didn't call any of them!
If it weren’t for the rules of basketball, how could it vary from person to person?
Wade didn't say anything, because he felt from the bottom of his heart that Ryan's defense just now was too strong!
Every time he was about to move or speed up, Ryan would immediately block him in the right position.
He has never been forced into such a miserable situation!
But Wade felt that Ryan should only use this kind of defense to show off the team in the first round of the second half. It was impossible for him to defend the entire half in this way.
This is simply too physically demanding.
After a successful defense, the Nuggets attacked.
In this round, Ryan was not so active on the offensive end.
The ball went to the double-knife turkey, who continued to eat white chocolate with his back turned.
A pig arch + turn over and lean back, a double-handed turkey added another 2 points for the Nuggets.
The Nuggets regain the lead!
Riley finally figured it out. In the second half, Ryan was mainly responsible for defense, and the offense would be handed over to others.
Also, as defensive as Ryan is, it is impossible to take care of both offense and defense at the same time.
But this also means that for the entire next half, Ryan and Wade will be biting each other with their teeth!
Sure enough, in the next round, Wade was also pressed directly after halftime!
Ryan was still the same as before, not giving Wade even half a step to start!
Wade tried several times to break through the defense, but was not successful.
In desperation, Wade could only call for cover.
But even when facing the pick-and-roll, Ryan did not give Wade any space and still stayed close to him.
The moment Wade went around the screen, Nene in the fourth position directly double-teamed Wade, blocking Wade!
Because Ryan's strict defense did not allow Wade to start quickly, it was naturally impossible for Wade to repeat the scene of "quickly passing through the gap between the two" in the first half.
Wade was surrounded by Ryan and Nene. Seeing this situation, the Flash had no choice but to hit the ball to the ground and pass it to Haslem.
Wade's passing ability has always been very strong, and his ability to get the ball out of a double-team is even far better than Ryan's.
But just when Haslem reached the inside with the ball and raised the basketball for a layup, AK47 arrived from the side. The shot-blocking leader this season swung his long arm and directly slapped Haslem's layup away!
Kirilenko is the only man who has averaged more than 3 blocks per game this season. Whether it is average blocks per game or total blocks, Kirilenko ranks first!
If you want to help defend Wade, Kirilenko may not be able to do it in time.
But with Haslem helping to defend him, wouldn’t it be enough for the AK47 to have a hand?
For the second consecutive round, the Nuggets' defense was successful again!
Wade gritted his teeth and couldn't even use the pick-and-roll to deal with Ryan?
Wait, Ryan didn't play in the first half to save energy, right? ?
The double-sword turkey caught the basketball that was flying out, and then quickly advanced.
As soon as he reached the midfield line, he passed the ball to Kirilenko.
After receiving the ball, Kirilenko went straight into the penalty area, but Wade and Antoine Walker pursued him.
But when Kirilenko burst to the basket, he didn't get in the middle of the siege, but made a very smooth back pass and gave the ball to Ryan who was following up!
Ryan jumped up and dunked with both hands, further widening the point difference!
Reggie Miller, who had not participated when everyone eliminated Ryan, finally spoke:
"The lead is 4 points! Never underestimate the MVP, guys!
Bird may be right, that first half would be the last time the Heat tied the score! "
Riley immediately paused the game. You can't be careless in the finals. When you see that the momentum is not right, you will naturally have to pause immediately.
The Godfather of Miami finally saw that Ryan really planned to use this method to defend Wade for the entire half.
Riley could never watch Wade jump into the fire pit, so he decided during the timeout to let Wade play without the ball and not get entangled with Ryan!
Wade is indeed very good without the ball, but compared to with the ball, he is still a little limited.
When defending without the ball, Ryan does not continue to stick to Wade, but opens his arms to block his inward route.
The NoHandcheck rule says that you are not allowed to use your hands to hinder the ball-holding attacker, but it does not say that you are not allowed to use your hands to defend without the ball!
If Wade cuts inside without the ball, it will be difficult to completely get rid of Ryan to catch the ball.
Once Wade catches the ball in the mid-range, Ryan immediately tags in and continues his previous defense.
As for the three-pointer, Ryan let Wade shoot directly. Even if Wade made 2 of 3 three-pointers in the first half, Ryan still made the same shot.
Wade tried to cut in several times, but under Ryan's perfect defensive strategy, Wade never got a chance to catch the ball.
He had no choice but to cut outside.
In the last 7 seconds of the attack time, Wade reached outside the three-point line and caught the ball and shot a jumper directly.
This was Wade's first comfortable shot in the second half.
However, the basketball bounced out of the frame, and his three-point touch in the first half was obviously no longer there.
Ryan continues to strangle Wade's score! Defeat the Heat for three consecutive rounds!
Weber grabbed the rebound and the Nuggets once again got a chance to expand the point difference!
Kirilenko immediately got off and rushed to the front in one breath.
After grabbing the rebound, Weber did not hand the ball to Miller, but dribbled the ball himself to try to advance.
After taking two steps, Weber bent down, pushed with both hands, and passed the ball directly to the ground from a long distance! The basketball passed through the crowd from the center of the court, bounced up and landed firmly in Kirilenko's hands!
The moment Kirilenko caught the ball, he took two big steps, flew up quickly, and dunked easily!
In these rounds, the Nuggets have fully demonstrated their offensive talents.
Many people mistakenly believe that the Nuggets are a Ryan isolation team, but they have never been.
The Nuggets are the team averaging the most assists per game this season.
There are so many people on this team who can pass the ball, so although everyone else except Ryan has average offensive abilities, they often don't need to attack, but can get relatively easy scoring opportunities through passing the ball.
Ryan has only scored 40+ points in a single game twice so far in the playoffs this season. This number is neither as good as James nor Wade. But this is not because Ryan is incompetent, but because he does not need to attack by himself every round.
With a 6-point difference, the Nuggets are about to continue to open up the score.
The Heat also know that they can't continue to exploit Wade's point, so this round O'Neal is ready to take over the offense.
But the Sharks didn't play as easily as in the last round. In the last round, the Pistons were too afraid of Wade, so they defended the Sharks very loosely, allowing the Sharks to average 20+10 per game.
But this round, Wade can just leave it to Ryan, and the inside is mainly dealing with the Sharks.
O'Neal must also admit that time has left an indelible mark on his once-invincible body.
Shark is not completely useless, but he is no longer the Shark who catches the ball in the three-second zone and is completely invincible even when faced with two defenders.
Under the attack of Nene and Webber, O'Neal's turning hook shot out of the frame.
Having been fighting hand-to-hand with two people, Shark was too tired, and his hit rate was not guaranteed at all.
Haslem, who was actively fighting, grabbed the offensive rebound, but he relied on Nene's jump to force a layup but still missed.
Haslem has always been a blue-collar worker, and his manual work is too rough. He is great at grabbing offensive rebounds, but converting offensive rebounds into points is not his strength.
The basketball popped up again and the two sides continued to fight for rebounds.
Weber tried his best to hold on to the huge shark, but was so crushed by the shark that he couldn't even jump.
But because Weber was stuck in position, O'Neal, who had a poor rebounding position, finally just poked the basketball out of the penalty area with his fingertips and failed to catch the ball directly.
Who would have thought that Weber, who was once dashing and gorgeous, is now fighting in the paint and doing dirty work.
There is quite a sense of desolation that the former male company executive went to deliver food after losing his job, and the former cool female executive went to KTV.
But Weber did his job very conscientiously. Not only him, but in the second half today, no Nuggets player's performance was not positive.
After taking the field, everyone was full of energy.
Because they all believe in that No. 0, believing that he can make Wade, who was so awesome in the first half, fall to the world!
The basketball was pointed out of the penalty area by O'Neal and was actively grabbed by Ryan. The Nuggets once again had a chance to open up the score!
Pat Riley punched the tactical board, which instantly broke into two pieces.
Wade, the root of all problems is Wade.
The Heat's offense relies heavily on Wade. If Wade cannot score or force the opponent to change their defensive formation, the entire Heat offense will be in trouble.
The score was tied in the first half, making Riley complacent. Little did they know, it was just the tranquility before the collapse!
Riley really didn't expect that someone could force Wade into such a mess!
He admitted that he was wrong. Ryan was not some casual youngster, not a product touted by the league.
The youngest DPOY in history has a very high gold content!
After the Nuggets attacked, Ryan continued to stretch the Heat's defense with his off-ball movement.
But the point of attack was not on Ryan. The double-handed turkey once again succeeded in back-up singles against White Chocolate.
Facing a heavy point guard like Miller, White Chocolate is completely helpless.
Under normal circumstances, the Heat use the power of the system to wipe White Chocolate's butt.
But today, when everyone's defensive attention in the Heat is focused on Ryan, no one can help White Chocolate.
Reggie Miller used this metaphor:
"Miller will get diabetes if he eats white chocolate today! The Heat are already 8 points behind, and the Nuggets' counterattack in the third quarter is very fierce!
So, never underestimate an MVP!
Maybe, the Nuggets will open the point difference to double digits in one breath! "
Reggie Miller is certainly very proud now, because he was one of the few people who didn't mock Ryan during the halftime break.
He knew that Bird would never see the wrong person!
A big part of the reason why Big Bird is willing to go to Denver to coach is because of Ryan!
This offense was crucial for the Heat, and after his teammates missed consecutive opportunities, Wade once again shouldered the offensive responsibility.
Ryan continued to press Wade relentlessly, and even Kobe, who was watching the game, muttered to himself: "This bastard is a complete lunatic!"
A guy as physically strong as Kobe wouldn't dare to press the defense so hard every round.
God knows how long Ryan can last!
In desperation, Wade continued to call the pick-and-roll, and this time it was O'Neal who came out to cover.
The Shark pick-and-roll is in place, Wade takes the screen and immediately accelerates!
But it was still the same as before, under Ryan's pressure, Wade couldn't reach the speed at all, and was stopped by Weber who was double-teamed.
The Flash had no choice but to retreat outside the three-point line, and Ryan immediately returned to his position and continued to press!
Wade is going crazy. In all his years of playing basketball, this is the first time he has encountered such a pressing defense!
In desperation, Wade could only break out again, then stop suddenly one step inside the three-point line, leap high, and make a pull-up jumper!
It may be appropriate to hit others with this kind of ball, but hitting Ryan is the most dangerous.
Ryan likes to guard against this kind of pull-up jumper the most, because he can always use his wingspan and bullet speed to directly block the opponent's top shot!
"Blocked! Ryan blocked Wade's shot for the first time today!
Wade still hasn't scored in the second half, he is simply completely locked up!
Ryan's defense in the second half was completely different from that in the first half!
After switching to a pressing defense, Wade has yet to score even 1 point on Ryan!
Once the best defensive player exerts his strength, Wade can't even score a goal, let alone continue to be amazing!
The point difference is already 8 points. Can the Nuggets really expand the point difference to double digits in one breath? ? "
Ryan guarded Wade again, which made the Heat fans in front of the TV despair.
Everyone can feel that Ryan increased his defensive intensity in the second half.
I just didn't expect that after improving the defensive intensity, Wade, who was amazing in the first half, instantly became amazing!
This is the first time they have seen Wade completely locked up!
I originally thought that Wade could escape the law of "having diarrhea against Ryan in the playoffs", but now it seems that this law is still in effect!
No one is immune!
The Heat are already 8 points behind, and they have been beaten 8-0 since the beginning of the third quarter!
However, Ryan seemed to be really tired. This time, Ryan didn't even check his movement without the ball. Instead, he went directly to the bottom corner to smoke.
Wade also followed Ryan to the bottom corner and took the opportunity to take a breath.
Pressure defense not only tires the person defending, but also the person being defended.
Wade also wanted to take a break while Ryan was fishing.
The offense seemed to be handed over to the rest of the Nuggets, and Webb actually started a pick-and-roll with the double-handed turkey.
O'Neal cursed and followed him out. Insiders like Webber who can shoot should all be given a suspended death sentence, a suspended death penalty!
Miller used the screen to break through, but because Miller was not very fast, White Chocolate, who was seriously defending, quickly bypassed the screen and continued to stick to Miller's side.
Seeing this situation, Miller passed the ball to Weber who was passing down.
But O'Neal was standing in front of Webber, and Webber was forced to stop in place after getting the basketball.
Riley also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that without Ryan's participation, the Nuggets' offensive threat has indeed dropped by a level.
Just when the Heat players thought the defense could succeed easily this time, Weber, who caught the basketball with one hand, did not take it down. Instead, he pushed forward, touched the ball directly with one hand, and stuffed the ball into the penalty area!
In the penalty area, people saw a dark shadow cutting quickly along the baseline, receiving a quick pass from Weber in the air with his back to the basket, and then dunking with both hands behind his back to score! From Weber's passing pass to Ryan's dunk, the entire offense was flowing smoothly!
Ryan did not fail on the offensive end, but patiently waited for the opportunity!
The moment he saw Weber catch the ball, Ryan suddenly cut along the baseline, and even Wade didn't react!
Weber's passing is also very smart. The next insider who can pass the ball like him will probably have to wait until the fat guy who can't do planks and has to give up horse racing and be forced to play basketball in order to make money.
Riley saw Ryan hanging on the basket with his back, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails were embedded in his flesh.
In the second half, Ryan not only has to be the strongest shield, but also the sharpest knife!
He only started to show strength in the second half, so he wouldn't give the Heat and Wade any chance!
At this point, the Heat, who were still complacent in the first half, fell directly behind the Nuggets by double digits at the beginning of the second half!
Riley paused the game again. He didn't expect that he could still be so proud in the first half, but it was just because the opponent hadn't fully exerted his strength yet!
As soon as the Nuggets exerted their strength, they immediately went 10-0, which really made Riley despair.
On the Internet, many fans also felt their faces hurt and began to delete posts frantically.
Damn, I just said Wade could suppress Ryan, but he was criticized so quickly!
The youngest MVP+DPOY+double first team player, he is really ridiculously strong!
The game was paused, and Ryan looked at Wade with a smile: "Hey Dwayne, isn't it? I just exerted my force lightly, but you can't hold it anymore?"
Wade, who is also a fan of pretending, could only leave in despair when faced with Ryan's trash talk today!
After Ryan sat back on the bench, he wiped his sweat with a towel and clapped his hands:
“Work harder, brothers!
Next, put out the heat completely for me! "
"Roar!"
The young lion king has given the final killing order.
Wise Riley? Jordan who is five centimeters shorter?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Next, under the general attack of the Denver miners, no matter who you are, you will be buried in the ice and snow of the Rocky Mountains!
