Super Lord of the Rings
Chapter 859 [Lethal Weapon]
Chalmers missed a jump shot and Vucevic got the rebound.
Joel Anthony doesn't work hard to grab rebounds and ensures a quick return to defense, and Vucevic can easily get the rebound.
The Kings counterattacked, and James quickly passed half court to Wang Jun. Korver didn't press hard enough, so Wang Jun leaned over and quickly turned around and picked the ball in. 6 to 2.
Korver is not out of position, but he is always one step behind when he jumps to block shots and interferes.
Wade is dissatisfied with Korver's defense, but he can't yell at his teammates. The team cannot live without Korver. He is an excellent role player, but his defense is not top-notch. If he defends well, it won't be 15 million in three years but 15 million in one year.
The fire couldn't come out, so Wade could only grit his teeth and hold on.
His competition in recent years has been focused on rescuing his daughter from a French gang. Under such high intensity, gritting his teeth is a subconscious action he often performs.
Therefore, through subconscious and long-term exercise, Wade's masseter muscle strength has been greatly improved. This strength is also reflected in the thickness of the masseter muscle, making his cheeks bigger and bigger.
His bite may be stronger than that of a great white shark, but he's useless on the court.
The Heat attack, Wade and Bosh play pick-and-roll in the middle, James switches defense, Battier does not chase, and Bosh gets stuck, preventing him from making quick cuts.
Wade changed directions and dribbled past James, and the bottom line attracted Vucevic to cover up, and Joel Anthony was left open. When there is a player on the court who can't shoot, the offense will become less smooth.
The big man blocked the way. Even if Wade knew where Joel was, the ball couldn't be passed at once. He first gave the ball to Bosh in the middle.
Bosh passed the ball to the basket. If it was Bogut, the ball would definitely score. He could use his height and weight advantages to hit hard. If Howard just made an alley-oop dunk, the opponent would not be able to defend in place.
But for Joel, this kind of pass is not a good opportunity. Unless there is no one in front of him to guard, it will be difficult for him to score. Vucevic retreated to the basket and raised his hands to interfere, but did not jump.
Joel caught the ball and shot a one-handed shot from close range, and the ball missed the basket due to slight interference.
Wang Jun retreated and grabbed a backcourt rebound, slowing down the pace.
After two rounds of testing, the Heat returned to defense quickly. At this time, he retreated, and three people and one person grabbed the rebound.
Make sure you can get it. James had a chance to challenge Wade on a fast break. Wang Jun did not pass the ball and avoided Wade's attack, which would have been more efficient.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to James. Wang Jun ran up the right corner and got rid of Wade to catch the ball. Bosh defended it.
Wang Jun took the ball and dribbled it laterally at full speed, swayed half of his body to pull the ball, jumped in the middle to near the free throw line, and passed the ball to the right side.
The attention of Wade and Bosh was attracted by Wang Jun. Vucevic received the pass with an air cut and scored with a powerful right hand. Joel stood too far and did not cover. 8 to 2.
When returning to defense, Wang Jun applauded Vucevic twice to show encouragement.
They have only practiced together for two weeks, and he already likes this big man. As long as he plays with confidence, he will not be worse than Yi Jianlian.
Confidence can control yourself.
On the contrary, the less confident you are, the worse your offense will be. Joel is such a negative example. He is still the target of being left out, and he just watches the excitement after picking and rolling from the outside. He was even afraid that his teammates would pass the ball over, and he didn't dare to take action without anyone on the perimeter, which looked very embarrassing.
After the pick-and-roll, Battier did a good job defending Bosh.
He played with the Heat last season and could play as a guest at the 4th position. He also guarded Bosh in training and knew Bosh's characteristics well. He stayed close to the body, making it difficult for Bosh to turn around, and mainly interfered with dribbling.
Bosh leaned back twice and turned to the baseline. He was double-teamed by Battier and Vucevic. Without a chance to take a shot, he passed out to the outside to find Wade, and James followed him closely.
As 24 seconds approached, Wade forced a shot and missed the rebound at a 45-degree angle on the right side. The rebound was grabbed by Vucevic and passed to Curry.
Curry passed the ball to Wang Jun and dribbled to the frontcourt. Through a change of rhythm, he dribbled the ball behind his right hand and moved half of his body with his left hand. He relied on Korver to lead inside and used his body to hit hard. Korver followed from the side. , unable to stop him from taking action.
This time, before Wang Jun could even raise the ball, Korver knocked the basketball away with one palm. Unfortunately, the referee blew the whistle and the thug fouled.
Wang Jun made two free throws, 10-2, his 6th point.
Before the game, Wade believed that Bosh was the key to winning because he would get mismatch opportunities after the pick-and-roll and had an obvious height advantage. But with Battier defending Wade, Bosh's advantage becomes smaller.
Bosh made a jump shot under interference, but the ball missed and the rebound was obtained by Vucevic.
Battier, who is 203cm tall, has rich experience in defending big men and has his own set of concepts. It doesn't matter if the opponent scores 50 points, as long as the shooting percentage is lower than usual, he will succeed.
Even if Bosh can score 30+, his shooting percentage is less than 50% and he won't be much better. It's useless to only look at the statistics for the strength of a star. To win, efficiency is far more important than statistics.
Buckley's eyes were caught by someone. "Vucevic played very well today and now has 4 points and 4 rebounds. Maybe he can have a perfect debut."
O'Neal agreed: "This is indeed a good big man. The defense can't tell it yet, because the Heat have an inside line that they don't need to worry about."
The battle for the Kings began. James broke through with the ball. He dribbled the ball twice in succession and took a step to the right. He pulled the ball and turned around with Joel's big strides, successfully breaking through in the middle.
Bosh hurriedly covered the defense. James jumped up and half-turned and passed the ball behind his back to Vucevic on the left. The latter jumped up and dunked with his right hand. 12 to 2.
Spoelstra requested a timeout, and he had to find a way to limit the breakthroughs of James and Wang Jun. Joel couldn't defend one-on-one, and he didn't have the ability to attack, so he might as well let Bogut play.
The King played smoothly at the beginning, but couldn't play at all later.
Listening to the fans' applause, Vucevic and his teammates high-fived him one by one when he came off the court, and James also praised him. "Well done, if you get a chance to make a bold shot, I'll pass it to you."
"Thank you, I will not hold you back." Vucevic smiled.
He feels a little proud inside. If he is often left open, he is confident that he can make the ball.
Having stars attract defenses is so simple, just like training.
The Heat made substitutions. Captain Haslem came on the scene and replaced Joel. Haslem is also a blue-collar guy and shoots better than Joel. His task is to defend James.
The Heat's offensive formation immediately opened up. Wade attracted the defense to the center. Haslem made an open jumper and scored on his first shot. 12 to 4.
The Kings did not make any substitutions. Wang Jun and Vucevic covered without the ball, got rid of Wade, and received a pass from James.
James cuts deep inside and Wang Jun only needs to pass to the basket. James can single out Haslem. He has a physical advantage, attracts double teams and can distribute the ball.
Wang Jun dribbled the ball to the center, attracted Bosh and Wade to double-team, and distributed the ball 60 degrees to the right. Vucevic made a one-step shot from inside the three-point line, and hit another open shot! 14 to 4.
Zhang Lili said excitedly: "It's incredible. Vucevic scored 8 points in the opening game, which is the most for the Kings. This rookie is deadly."
Yu Jia smiled and said: "His name is a bit like a weapon. I wonder if it will develop into a big killing weapon for the king in the future."
Everyone in the Heat now understands that this newcomer's ability to score is no accident, and they can no longer let him go.
