Chapter 174 I want to make a bloody case!
Haslem was expelled and Arroyo had to return to the position of defending Zhou Mubai.
But Arroyo is a typical type of strong offense and weak defense.
Due to his own limitations, he lacks the height and strength needed for defense. When he encounters a stronger or taller defender, he has basically no choice. Although his height is not too disadvantageous, Zhou Mubai's strength is something he cannot resist.
Moreover, when defending, his position selection awareness is not good enough, and even if he is fast enough, it is difficult to keep up with the opponent's breakthrough.
What he relies on is his advantage in steals.
He usually observes his opponent's movements and takes off the ball when the opponent is preparing to change hands. However, using this to deal with Zhou Mubai can only watch. Zhou Mubai's ball protection when dribbling is top-notch.
Zhou Mubai broke through continuously, tearing the Heat's defense line apart, and then sent ammunition to the outside line three points.
Arroyo could not defend Zhou Mubai, so the Heat had to attack, and the outside line had to be empty, and the Knicks' three-point rain also started.
If you just exert force on offense, at most you will win. It is far from enough to teach the Heat a lesson, so Zhou Mubai chose to switch defense.
He went to guard Wade.
Wade is the core of the offensive team of the Heat and the soul of this team. By defending Wade, he can defend half of the Heat's firepower.
Of course every team knows this, just as people know that defending Zhou Mubai can destroy half of the Knicks' skills, and defending James can defeat the Cavaliers, but it is difficult to defend against these super giants.
Wade is nicknamed the Flash. In recent years, he and the best in the 2003 class entered their golden age. It was his peak. His skills, experience and body reached the peak at the same time. Who can boast about Haikou saying that he can limit Wade?
The reason why super giants are super giants is because they cannot be restricted.
But Zhou Mubai wants to do this now.
——No one cannot be defended.
Zhou Mubai wanted to defend Wade not to prove that he was better than Wade, but to punish the Heat.
Basketball belongs to basketball, Haslem violated his body, and he did not want to use the same despicable means to hurt the Heat players. He wanted to teach the Heat a lesson with his performance on the court.
What is the best lesson?
——Zhou Mubai plans to create a new tragedy.
As far as Zhou Mubai knows, since 2000, there are three most classic playoff tragedies.
——In the first round of the 2005 playoffs, G7, the Mavericks vs. Rockets, but the two sides were one-sided in the seventh life-and-death battle. The Rockets were slaughtered by the Mavericks 116-76 40 points, setting the biggest record of defeat in the Rockets in history.
——G5 in the 2009 playoff Western Conference semi-finals, Lakers vs Rockets, Yao Ming ended this round of playoffs early due to injury. The civilian Rockets, who were not Yao Wumai, were slaughtered 40 points by the Lakers in Game 5 118-78. Although they miraculously dragged the series into Game 7, they were still unable to make the situation come true.
——In the first round of the 2009 playoffs, the Nuggets beat the Hornets 121-63 away. The Nuggets turned G4 into a complete massacre, and this game also tied the largest single-game score difference in NBA playoff history: 58 points!
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led by 18 points, but this was far from enough. Not winning by 40 points was considered a tragedy. Although the Heat's defense was broken by Zhou Mubai, the Heat's offense was still there. Kevin Martin could not defend Wade, and the Heat could still score.
As long as both sides can score, the gap will not be too big. If Zhou Mubai wants to punish the Heat and create a tragedy, he must strangle Wade to death.
So, Zhou Mubai changed his defense.
Wade simply changed the defense to Zhou Mubai, with a look of surprise. Zhou Mubai is the point guard, and he is actually misplaced in defense. Moreover, Zhou Mubai is the core of the Knicks. Few teams let the core directly defend the opponent's offensive sharp sword, because this is likely to cause problems in their attack.
Wade didn't know that this was Zhou Mubai's own arrangement.
The head-on battle between the two leading stars is what fans are most willing to see.
Zhou Mubai lowered his center of gravity. Wade's breakthrough was very sharp. Pat Riley once said that Wade was Michael Jordan 5 cm shorter. You can imagine how powerful the man with two big cheeks in front of him was.
In fact, Zhou Mubai has watched the video of Wade, and Wade's breakthrough is different from others.
The man in front of him is one of the few breakthrough monsters in basketball history.
He can dribble the ball under his double crotch, pause, pull the ball sharply, step backward dribble, cut in the first step after shooting, jump to the ball and break through continuously, make a layup in Europe, shake the right and left and score freely.
All the fantasy breakthrough moves are moving smoothly between his movements. After entering the penalty area, he can control his body in the air and make movements calmly with the wonderful coordination in the air.
With this guy's master-level mid-range shot around the screen, his top rebounding sense, his top breakthrough pass that averaged 7.5 assists per game in a single season, and his outstanding off-ball move among all the shooting guards in history, making it difficult for this guy to be defended.
But Zhou Mubai must guard against it tonight.
It’s not for winning, it doesn’t have to rely on defense, but for big wins.
Wade began to break through, dribbling under his crotch, smoothly connected to the front of the body with almost no gap, and smoothly pressing the shoulders through... These movements were extremely smooth. If it were other defenders, Wade probably had passed, but...
In front of him was Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai followed Wade's rhythm and moved sideways again, then fought to slow down Wade, reached out to pull the ball and forced Wade to protect the ball, and continued to put pressure on his body. When O'Neal came to help Wade pick and roll, he quickly squeezed past and blocked Wade in front of him...
Zhou Mubai's defense was like a maggot in the tarsal bone. No matter Wade was like a flash, he was always at a position that could interfere with Wade.
Pat Riley stood up in shock and was reminded by the dissatisfied audience before sitting down.
He has worked with Wade for six years, and he has never seen anyone who can defend Wade so hard, oh, yes, it seems like there is a Kobe.
But Kobe is a shooting guard after all, and his height and weight are higher than Wade. What kind of virtue does Zhou Mubai have?
He admitted that Zhou Mubai's attack was unparalleled in the world, and he also knew that Zhou Mubai's defense was good, but now he was facing Wade!
Wade!
Wade, who can give you a miracle just by giving the ball!
Wade had no choice but to give the ball out, but this defense was just the beginning.
As long as the Knicks make an attack and turn defense, Zhou Mubai will appear in front of Wade as soon as possible. Not only will he defend Wade holding the ball, he will not let Wade catch the ball.
Chapter completed!
