795: Player from Hell

"Wade is a player from hell" - Kobe Bryant

As a second-generation star, Kobe's childhood is actually quite beautiful. Although he has few friends due to frequent moving houses, he was very lonely when he was a child and could only be with basketball. However, compared with Wade, Kobe is simply growing up in heaven.

As a child born in the South County slum of Chicago, Wade has been with death and despair since childhood. His poor parents' situation has made him spend a bleak childhood in displaced.

When he graduated from high school, Wade was unable to play for a while due to his failure in the entrance exam. After finally going to college, the bad news was not over. In his sophomore year, Wade suffered a devastating injury of tearing the meniscus on his left knee. Under normal circumstances, if an athlete suffers a severe blow to his meniscus, his athletic career will basically be ruined.

Wade was like being in the fire of hell, he was bitten and burned. But there was only one thing he did not sit and wait for death.

He found Tim Glove, a trainer who had helped Jordan and Kobe, and devoted himself to rehabilitation and training. He described himself as a "an annoyed warrior", ignited the flames in his heart to burn his anger, and turned the entire disturbing world into a solitary life between him and basketball.

And it is this warrior who never wants to admit defeat that can always bring surprises to everyone in the playoffs.

In the second round of the playoffs in 2006, the Heat played against the Nets. The Heat won four consecutive games in the first game and defeated the Nets 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Among them, Wade's performance is the key to the Heat's ability to change their fate against the will of heaven.

The Heat's most famous reversal was the final between the 2006 and the Mavericks. The Heat won four consecutive games while trailing 0-2, defeated the Mavericks and won the championship. Wade's performance in that round of the series can only be described as the word "God descends to earth".

In the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat played against the Celtics, the final confrontation between the old and the new. The Heat relaxed after winning both home games and were won by the Celtics three consecutive games. Fortunately, Wade adjusted his mentality in time and led the team out of the predicament.

There are countless examples of Wade saving the Heat in the playoffs. His resistance and indomitable resignation to fate were faithfully recorded in his game.

Although he is 32 years old, although he is no longer the fastest player in the league, he can't even be considered one of the fastest ones. But his unyielding spirit is still there, and he still doesn't believe that he will be defeated by fate.

As Kobe said, he is a player from hell. The things he has encountered are much more difficult than the difficulties in front of him.

So today, Dwyne Wade once again started the Heat's path to redemption.

When Mike Conley took the ball to Wade, he felt quite nervous. Because in the past few minutes, he had tasted Wade's power.

Today, in the first round of the game, Wade gave Conley a warning.

In the first round, while Conley was stunned, Wade suddenly rushed forward, and accurately attacked everything, and then stole the basketball in Conley's hand!

The defense completed the steal in the first round of the game, which shows how eager Wade is to win today.

After the steal, the "Flash" ran all the way, shook Conley away, and then solved the attack with a beautiful two-hand dunk.

Wade played the first goal in the opening game.

Afterward, Wade was out of control. Conley seemed to be unable to adapt to his new opponent, and Wade was completely eaten by him on the offensive end.

After Conley was eaten to death, the entire Grizzlies' attack became messy.

After all, Wade has also been selected into the best defensive team three times. Although they are all second teams, this is already an amazing achievement for Wade, who is slightly at a disadvantage in the second position.

And don't forget that Wade is the defender with the most blocks in the league except Jordan. Just a few years ago, he also gave away four big-hit performances in 55 seconds.

His coming to defend Conley undoubtedly puts great pressure on Conley.

As a main defender, Conley was in trouble and the Grizzlies could not play a lot of cooperation. This is the real reason why Spolstra used Wade to defend Conley.

Since Link cannot be curbed, start from Conley's source.

In addition to his superb defense, Wade's performance on the offensive end today was also perfect. After the dunk at the opening, Wade hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot. Before he finished the first quarter, he efficiently scored 7 points.

So when Conley faces Wade again now, he is quite nervous.

He knew that he had hit the gun today.

At this time, Link was going to come out to catch the ball, but Wade took the lead in blocking Conley's passing route.

In the end, although Conley still used a hit pass to Link, because of delays by Wade, Conley and Link both missed the best offensive time.

When Link received the basketball, James had already posted it. Although he had cramps in the last game, James still did not relax today. On the defensive end, the old man did not give a "discount" to Link at all.

Link was pushed by James and couldn't move. If Conley's ball could be one second earlier, no, even if the ball was sent half a second earlier, Link would be confident that he would find James' defensive flaws.

But after being stuck, Link was helpless.

This is the role of Wade defending Conley. As long as Conley is restricted, it will be a matter that will affect the whole body.

In desperation, Link had to hang the ball to Randolph and let him try singles in the inside.

Randolph pushed Lewis twice and pushed some distance. But when Randolph turned over and jumped, Lewis's height and arms were revealed.

Randolph is not tall in the inside line and is a short and fat type. So when he encounters Lewis' tall and long arms that can effectively interfere with shooting matches, Randolph is very uncomfortable.

Under Lewis' blockage, Randolph's turnover jump shot finally came out of the box. Bosh won the rebound and the Heat will have a chance to widen the gap to more than 5 points!

Bosh handed the ball directly to Wade, and Wade broke through immediately and caught Conley off guard.

Iguodala tried hard to shuttle through the crowd and move forward parallel to Wade. He saw Wade's position and believed that he could rush back to the basket to complete the block.

Finally, when Wade took off and prepared to make a layup, Iguodala also arrived at the same time and jumped high.

But unfortunately, Iguodala was still one step slower. Wade still advanced the ball under the fierce collision of Iguodala, and the referee gave Iguodala a defensive foul without hesitation!

Wade easily got a chance to score a three-pointer!

After landing, Wade did not celebrate too hard, but just wrapped his hands in front of the stands.

It's like scoring a goal in the confrontation of Iguodala, it's a relaxing thing.

Link shook his head. As long as this guy Wade catches a chance, he will never forget to show off.

But Wade does have the capital to pretend today. Link even thinks that Wade is even more terrifying than James today!

After standing on the free throw line, Wade made a steadily free throw. The Grizzlies were 7 points behind, the biggest difference in this game!

Wade's personal score has reached double digits.

This player from Hell is about to drag the Grizzlies into Hell today!

After Wade opened up the situation for the Heat, the Heat finally played a quarter to suppress the Grizzlies.

26 to 19, the Heat actually made the Grizzlies not scored 20 in a single quarter!

"This change in Dwyne Wade's defense against Conley has caused the Heat's defensive quality to change drastically!"

After the first quarter, even Hubby Brown must acknowledge the Heat's achievements on the defensive end.

In the entire first quarter, the Grizzlies made up as many as 7 mistakes. Due to the inability to implement tactics, the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency in the first quarter was also lower than average.

If someone had ignored Conley before and thought he was a champion point guard who was not worthy of his name. Then today, Conley undoubtedly showed his value to the fullest.

Because when he was blocked, the Grizzlies' offense was completely different from before.

However, Conley certainly doesn't want to use this method to highlight his importance to the team.

Dave Joggel did not expect Spolstra to suddenly use Wade to defend Conley. Conley's data has always been quite lukewarm, so many opponents actually don't pay much attention to him.

But today, the Heat have given you the most correct demonstration of defending the Grizzlies. Just guarding Link is useless. But if you pay attention to other Grizzlies, the effect will be very obvious.

This move is indeed beautiful, and the Grizzlies' offense in the first quarter became a mess. Delavidova, who came on as a substitute, was originally a defensive defender, so it was even more impossible for him to save the Grizzlies' offense.

The Grizzlies' top priority now is to find a second organization point. Almost without thinking, Jogel handed over this task to Link.

"I need you to organize the offense in the second quarter!" Jogel knew that Link had always been the second engine of the Grizzlies. No one can do better than Link in the organization except Conley.

But if you want to solve the problem, it is definitely not as simple as handing over the ball to Link.

At that time, James will use the same strict defense to deal with Link. Maybe the Heat's tactics are to force Link to organize the offense.

Without Conley's support, it is still unknown how much Link can do under James' defense. But now, he can only give it a try.

On the other hand, Spoelstra also prepared James.

"In the second quarter, the Grizzlies will definitely let Link start playing the point guard. LeBron, it will depend on you when the time comes. If they can't let their offense run together, they must not!"

After hearing this, James nodded slightly. This time, he would not have overdrawn his strength in the third quarter!
Chapter completed!
