After the timeout, the Wizards side, Curry, Green and Haywood came off, Harden, Beverly and Jordan Jr.

Now that he decides to attack the inside, Harden, who is good at European breakthroughs and fouling, is naturally the first choice.

In fact, Curry's ability to hold the ball is also very strong. Even his finishing ability and efficiency at the basket has always been the top presence in the league's point guard, only because his three points are too lethal, so people often Ignore his breakthrough ability.

However, Wang Xiao did not choose to let Curry's main breakthrough, after all, the art industry has specialization. In Wang Xiao's system, Curry's biggest role is still a three-pointer. Since he has Harden, he naturally wants Harden's role to be Maximized.

Harden immediately began to use the pick-and-roll misalignment against the Heat's striker.

The Heat's two forwards are small forward Beasley and power forward Haslem, neither of which is a player of great speed. Harden can easily break through the two's defense and rush into the inside to create kills.

This way is almost exactly the same as Wade.

The difference is that under the defense of Beverly Mad Dog, Wade must spend more effort to get rid of his opponent, and when he rushes into the inside, he is facing a small Jordan with a long arm and a slow moving speed.

This is the gap between the players and the lineup.

Whether it is Haywood, Jordan Jordan or McGee, in Wang Xiao’s tactical system, they are the last defense of the team’s weak outer defense. Their work throughout the season is assisted defense, card rebounds and pick-and-roll. The work is already handy.

But the Heat's center O'Neal obviously can't adapt to this kind of work of non-stop checking and filling vacancies.

At the peak, O'Neal was a typical power forward with excellent offense and defense. At the same time, he has a strong offense and excellent defensive ability.

But today's O'Neal is no longer the average of 20+10 plus 2.6 blocks per game at the peak of the year. The knee injury has greatly reduced his athletic ability.

This season represented 70 regular-season games for the Heat. O'Neal averaged only 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. Defensively, he needed Haslem and Joel Anthony to assist frequently.

When Haslem was pulled outside because of a pick-and-roll, the little Jordan who was alone at the basket was completely powerless when facing Harden.

Less than 3 minutes later, Harden caused two consecutive O'Neal fouls. The latter had no choice but to end. The top was standard blue-collar center Joel Anthony.

Joel Anthony's defensive ability is much stronger than that of today's Jordan, especially in terms of assist defense ability. Anthony's speed is quite good in the interior. The area of ​​the assist defense is large. Harden is stronger than O'Neal. less.

Even so, if it wasn't for O'Neal that fouled too many times, Spoelstra was also reluctant to replace Joel Anthony.

Although O'Neal was a little bit defensive, he was an All-Star insider, experienced, and offensive. After all, he could share some pressure on Wade.

But when Joel Anthony came on the court, there was really only one offensive point left for Wade.

Sure enough, Wang Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw Joel Anthony playing. He stood up and walked to the side of the court to shout.

"De Andrew (Little Jordan), you can pay more attention to Wade! Don't worry about the guy next to you."

Joel Anthony was an indispensable blue-collar player in the Heat during the Big Three. He basically grabbed rebounds and assisted in the defense and defense.

But when it comes to offense, Joel Anthony can be described as terrible.

Throughout his career, Joel Anthony has averaged more than 4 points in any season!

It was so cruel, and while his offensive ability was lacking, Joel Anthony couldn't even stand inside and eat the cake.

Wang Xiao didn't even worry about Wade breaking through to give Joel Anthony, or even wishing Wade did that.

Of course, Wade knew this too, so after the breakthrough, he could only forcefully attack with little Jordan and Beverly's back and forth.

But after all, there is a limit. After playing a whole game, basically playing the ball as the main attack, Wade has begun to be a little tired.

When his two consecutive layups were ruthlessly rejected by the Jordan cap, Spoelstra had to call out a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Wade was replaced for a break, and the Heat began to play a decisive position battle under Chalmers' possession.

Why did Wang Xiao let go of this opportunity?

Curry re-entered the game, Jordan was replaced, the team immediately switched to the five death mode, and began to speed up.

Without Wade, the speed of the players on the Heat is slower, and it can't keep up with the pace of the Wizards.

When the Heat's offense is defended, the Wizards will soon face the crazy fast break.

Before the end of the first quarter, the Wizards had completed the lead in the score.

When the whistle at the end of the first quarter rang, the Heat players walking off the field were a little confused.

They really don't know how to defeat their opponents.

Also "confusing", there are more than 19,000 spectators at American Airlines Arena.

Before the start of the series, they all thought the Heat could best meet the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs.

Compared to the first Cavaliers in the East, the third Magic and the fourth Celtics, the second-place Wizards looks absolutely the best one to deal with, as long as they can use defense to contain their three-pointers, There is hope of winning!

But the truth is so cruel.

It makes sense for the Wizards to rank second in the East.

In the first and second games, the Heat couldn't limit the Wizards' three-point rain. They were easily killed.

At the beginning of the third game, relying on home advantage, the Heat did make the Wizards miss three points, but then... they found that the Wizards are not entirely a team that relies on three points, relying on three After the "shooters" opened the space, the Wizards' breakthrough actually had a very strong lethality.

With the seventh in the east and the second defeat in the east?

This is just a beautiful wish.

...

In the second quarter, Wade debuted again, and kept scoring to help the team keep up with the Wizards.

However, once Wade came off the court, the rhythm on the field collapsed instantly.

At the end of the half, the gap between the scores of the two teams was not large, but in the third quarter, Wade only took a few minutes of rest from the beginning of the field. The Wizards seized the opportunity and Curry scored two. Three points, plus Harden rushed into the inside to create 2+1, and the difference was widened in an instant.

Wade came on the court when he saw the bad situation, but it was too late.

After playing three quarters, Curry and others have gradually begun to adapt to the Heat's home atmosphere... To be more precise, the enthusiasm of the Heat Ball "fans" has cooled down from the beginning of the game, and there are even a lot of balls. Fans have already started leaving early.

Curry, who recovered, scored again and again in the third quarter, expanding the difference to more than 20 points in one go... When the whole game ended, the gap between the two teams was fixed at 24 points.

Total score 3:0!

The Wizards won the match point, at the same time, the Wizards also beat the opponent by more than 20 points in three consecutive games! Completely crushed without suspense.
