The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Stealed by George, and then a defensive foul by Harden.

For a while, James couldn't hang on his face.

He wanted to take the place back immediately.

But at this time, there is only more than one minute left before the end of the first quarter.

Spoelstra saw that something was wrong with James' mood, so he substituted Harden on a dead-throw free throw.

On the one hand, it is to let James calm down, on the other hand, it is to let him save some energy. The first quarter is not very difficult for the Heat, but in the second and third quarters, the substitute lineup is luxurious. The Wizards are much more relaxed than the Heat.

In the last game, the Heat lost because the Big Three didn't control their physical fitness well. It is impossible for Spoelstra to repeat the same mistakes in this game.

James replaced the field, and the main attack point on the court naturally became Wade.

And Wade's firepower is obviously not comparable to that of Curry Harden.

So in the next minute or so, the Wizards played 6:2 and ended the first quarter with a score of 31:25.

During the break at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards players surrounded George.

"You boy, you are in a good state today! You are so tough when facing James, okay!"

Butler punched George in the chest, and laughed.

He and James have always been at odds. Seeing that James didn't take advantage of George today, and even suffered a little, he was naturally happy.

George scratched his head slightly embarrassed when he heard this.

"No way, I still couldn't defend him well in the first quarter, and let him score a lot of points..."

"Hey, you kid is too greedy. Facing James, you still want to lock him up completely?" Butler couldn't help laughing: "You have to know, even the top defensive experts in the league, in the face of James Sometimes that guy will also score 20+30+ or ​​even 40+ points, that is a completely unstoppable scoring machine, you can do mutual explosion with him, it is already quite powerful!"

"That's right." Wang Xiao also said from the side: "George, you did a very good job in the first quarter, keep working hard."

"Okay! Coach!"

...

At the beginning of the second quarter, James did not play, but the Wizards also began to replace the main players in the first quarter.

Curry, George and others have all been replaced, and the protagonists on the stage have also changed.

At this time, it is the stage where Wade and Harden compete.

In the first quarter, although Wade played for a long time, he didn't play much. The main attack point was mainly on James. Now that James is off the court, Wade, who has regained control of the ball, immediately showed great strength.

Taking advantage of the speed that few players in the league can match, Wade kept hitting the basket, causing huge damage to the Wizards' defense.

But Harden, who is also a shooting guard, also refused to show weakness at this time.

Although he can't match Wade in terms of speed, Harden has his unique breakthrough method.

The left-hander Harden's Eurostep technique is quite good, and the unique rhythm change is also hard to guard against.

The two scored offensive points for their respective teams in the first few minutes of the second quarter, which meant that they would not give in to each other.

But soon, the Heat replaced Wade to rest and let James reappear.

"George, are you ready?"

Seeing James getting up, Wang Xiao immediately asked George beside him.

George also immediately understood what Wang Xiao meant, and stood up from the bench.

"It's already ready! Coach!"

...

Spoelstra couldn't help frowning when he saw James on his side and George on the Wizards' side.

"Wang Xiao, is he really planning to use that rookie against LeBron? Are you kidding me? He really thought this kid could fight LeBron for a whole game?"

But what Spoelstra didn't expect was that George could really continue to be 50-50 with James on the court!

In terms of defense, he is still completely unable to guard against James as always, so he can only try his best to make James spend more effort and consume more energy when attacking.

But in terms of offense, James also can't prevent him.

George's hand feeling is really good today. He is a very versatile player who knows a little about any offensive skills. When the hand feeling is overwhelming, players with such characteristics are often very scary.

When James was defending George, he discovered that if he was a little closer to George, the opponent would break through with the ball, and if he was a little farther away, George would switch to a step-back jumper.

It made him feel as if he was playing against his good brother Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony has the title of offensive kaleidoscope in the league, attacking a variety of offensive methods, which is completely different from James, who more often believes in one-force reduction.

When confronting Anthony, James often feels that no matter how he defends, the opponent will use countless offensive skills to disintegrate his defense.

But it is hard for James to imagine that this first-year rookie actually has similar abilities to Anthony!

And he hasn't forgotten that at that moment just now, he saw some shadows of the peak McGrady.

A mere first-year rookie can actually let him see the shadows of two top small forwards in the league? This is too exaggerated!

Feeling unbelievable, James intensified the confrontation, frequently engaged in physical confrontation on both ends of the offense and defense, trying to completely defeat George, but George is like a spring with strong resilience. ferocious.

In a few minutes of offense and defense, James just couldn't suppress George, and the Wizards still kept their lead in the first quarter.

As the second quarter progressed, the other main players of the two teams also began to appear on the stage.

The presence of Curry on the Wizards' side shared a lot of pressure for George, while on the Heat's side, Wade and Bosh, who had reappeared, also began to show their power one after another.

The two sides still maintained a fast pace of the game, and the audience on the court was even more dazzled. Before they knew it, the second quarter of the game also ended, and the game came to the halftime break.

At this time, the scores of the two teams were 61:58, and the Wizards led by 3 points.

"My God, this game was too intense, right?"

During the intermission, some interesting games began on the court as usual.

The Wizards fans who are not interested in this are eagerly discussing the first half of the game.

"I can't remember how long I haven't seen such an exciting and intense game." A spectator sighed: "I didn't even pay attention to which players' statistics. Who can tell me how much LeBron scored? Points? How many points did the rookie Paul score against James?"
