Wade reacted quickly and immediately turned around to pursue him, closely following Liu Xiu's footsteps.

Liu Xiu rushed to the three-point line under Wade's defense, grabbed the ball at the free throw line, squeezed Wade away with brute force, and then performed a European step. Wade pressed forward again and missed, Liu Xiu's basket was another

Side, pull up on the spot, and smash the ball into the basket with one hand!

Wade's cheeks became a little puffy again.

He has gained 220 pounds!

The opponent is obviously not the 230-plus pound figure he was at the beginning of last season, but his strength is still at a disadvantage!

He can carry Bosh and Nowitzki in the low post!

At this moment, he understood that the opponent's strength did not rely solely on weight, but was a strength monster himself.

But why does such a powerful monster need such a huge weight?

He felt that even if Liu Xiu's weight dropped to less than 200 pounds, his strength would not be inferior to him, and his speed might even be faster. Although the tonnage was smaller, he might not be able to carry it when switching to the inside because of his weight...

Wade was thinking wildly because the power he was proud of was suppressed, while Liu Xiu, who was retreating, had completely different concerns.

Everyone felt that Wade was intercepted just now because Liu Xiu succeeded in gambling. If Wade had been focused enough, he could have turned the mistake into a final score. Wade himself felt the same way.

But Liu Xiu just determined that it was an excellent opportunity to steal and reacted instantly!

The role of ‘prison kill’ is not limited to offense, the improvement of offensive reading ability on the defensive end is equally strong!

And the stronger the strength on both offense and defense, the stronger the effect of ‘prison killing’!

It was still the Heat's offense. Wade advanced to the frontcourt and carefully protected the ball, waiting for his teammates to move and shorten the time, which was a waste of time.

While waiting, he observed the defensive positions of the rest of the Trail Blazers, focused his attention on breakthroughs, and looked for flaws in Liu Xiu's defensive end... Something was wrong!

He found that he could do anything!

This is not to say that Liu Xiu's defense is full of loopholes, but that Liu Xiu's defensive positioning can play a very balanced role!

Wade thinks he can do anything because he has strong breakthrough ability. Even if Liu Xiu defends well, he can still find a way.

But the reason why he is a little confused now is that he feels that he can't find a more suitable way to break through! Strong burst, change of direction, cross step... all seem to have similar effects, and they will all suffer greater interference.

In this situation, for someone like him who likes to rely on instinct when making breakthroughs, it would be a lot more troublesome than if most options were locked and there was only one option left.

When all the options seemed similar, he finally chose the simplest way to break through - rely on the first step to break through!

This was within Liu Xiu’s expectation!

Liu Xiu moved his steps in time. Although he did not block Wade's sudden advance, he restricted Wade's breakthrough direction and relied on his strength advantage to prevent Wade from performing the European step.

Kwame Brown grasped the timing of the encirclement very well and had a very tacit understanding. Although Wade took action quickly before the encirclement was formed, he was too hasty and could not control the force well. It was powerful and iron!

Randolph protects the defensive rebound!

Wade quickly retreated to prevent Liu Xiuqi from counterattacking.

At this time, a person came to Wade's mind-Jason Kidd?

Liu Xiu's defense just now gave him the feeling that he was the former No. 1 point guard Jason Kidd who was still at the tail end of his peak defensive ability when he met him in his first or second grade!

At this moment, Wade felt like he was being targeted.

He has watched the videos of Liu Xiu's first few games. Although Liu Xiu has made obvious progress on the defensive end, compared with tonight's somewhat 'terrible' defense, it can be said that there is a qualitative gap!

In his opinion, if Liu Xiu can maintain this defense for a whole season, he will have a chance to compete with Artest, Garnett and others for DPOY!

But when Liu Xiu defended others, he didn't seem to defend as well as tonight... He felt that he must have been targeted!

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he unconsciously felt a little proud... At this moment, Liu Xiu quickly advanced, so he put away his distracting thoughts and defended himself well.

But Liu Xiu did not attack or pick and roll, but handed the ball to Hill who was leaning against Beasley on the right side of the free throw line.

When Hill played in isolation, Beasley jumped out with just one pull. Teammates on and off the court were instantly speechless.

Marion quickly made up for it, Liu Xiu cut in from the left, Wade followed Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu used Kwame Brown's screen to get into the basket, received Hill's pass, and threw the ball without stopping... Wipe the board

Hit!

Start 6-0!

The two teams showed a considerable strength gap.

This was the case throughout the first half, with the Trail Blazers dominating the Heat.

Liu Xiu made 3 of 3 shots in the first quarter, including 1 of 1 from three-point range. Although he had no free throws, he still scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He led the team to a score of 31 to 19 points, leading the Heat by 12 points in the first quarter.

point.

In the second quarter, Liu Xiu made 1 of 1 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists. He led the team to a score of 27 to 21 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Trail Blazers were 58 to 40.

Leading the Heat by 18 points!

Although Wade scored the highest score in the half, scoring 16 points, which was more than Randolph who scored 14 points in the half, he made 6 of 16 shots, plus 4 of 7 free throws... Suddenly he met his first and second grade students again.

The kind of defense that drove him crazy when he encountered it. Although Wade's strength was greatly improved compared to that time, he still played badly. For a while, he had no good way to deal with it, so he could only rush headlong.

There is also the fact that his mid-range shots accounted for 30% of his points this season. Under Liu Xiu's defense, he only scored 1 goal in the half.

Whether he makes an emergency stop, retreats, changes direction, or pulls sideways, the guy opposite will most likely be able to tell!

Wade felt like he was being defeated by the opponent...

Obviously his scoring skills are better than before! Why does he feel more restrained?

…

In the second half, Wade fought back and made 5 of 12 shots in the half, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 20 points in the half, leading the Heat to score in both the third and fourth quarters.

Arrived at 28 minutes.

The Trail Blazers, after returning from the halftime break, began to actively accept the fact that the rhythm was being slowed down. They fell into a slow-paced positional battle and tried to play fast in the slow-paced positional battle. They were helpless like the Nets and Suns.

After being dragged into position by the opponent, he launched a fast-paced attack.

The effect...isn't great.

In order to increase the success rate, they temporarily sacrificed defense and replaced players who might be more suitable, but the defense was not very good and the scoring was not high... Indeed, this did not happen overnight.

The Suns took off immediately after acquiring Nash because in the 2003-04 season, D'Antoni had begun to develop the running and gunning abilities of role players.

The Trail Blazers only scored 22 points in the third quarter and 24 points in the fourth quarter, losing to the Heat by 10 points at halftime.

But it’s not a big problem! The front is much ahead!

104 to 96, the Trail Blazers defeated the Heat by 8 points!

Wade made 11 of 28 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 13 of 19 free throws. He scored 36 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks... The attributes of being a father and a mother were fully reflected tonight.

Apart from him, the best performers were Marion with 14 points and 11 rebounds, Haslem with 8 points and 10 rebounds, Beasley with 11 points, and Chalmers with 10 points and 5 assists.

Liu Xiu, for his part, scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the second half, and finished the game with 29 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. In the second half, he tried to figure out positional battles and use fast breaks, but most of the time he scored in isolation.

Randolph scored 25 points, Outlaws scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Ray Allen had 14 points and 2 assists, Hill had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Kwame Brown had 7 points and 10 rebounds... overall performance

Excellent, 8 consecutive wins in the beginning!

Jibu looked at the celebration scene opposite, thinking back to being defeated by the warden tonight, he was already numb.

Get used to it.

There was so much anticipation before the game, but so much loneliness after the game.

The 26-year-old Zhenbang already has the mentality of a 30-year-old master - he doesn't want to prove his ability to lead a team alone, he wants help!

The team selected the most talented man in the legend, Michael Beasley, who was called the 'next James' and made the 206club Hawks salivate. His cheeks were full of joy, feeling that he had got his Deron Williams.

.

But this damn genius number two, in addition to looking more like a madman, his performance is not as good as that of the opposite lawless maniac...

What is a true talented rookie?

Wade has seen Deron next to Kobe, Paul next to Boozer, Kwame Brown next to Liu Xiu, Roy next to Luol Deng...

Beasley, in terms of physical talent and technical talent, is, but in Wade's eyes, the whole person is not.

The cheeks fell into the daily melancholy after losing in the past three years, while the warden was enjoying the joy of eight consecutive victories.

The joys and sorrows of people are always incompatible...

By 7:30 the next morning, most of the Trail Blazers players were sleeping in.

Only Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw, and Hill got up early to have breakfast.

Liu Xiu was very happy that he was no longer eating breakfast alone.

The other three people were quite resentful - they always thought that they were the only ones in the team who got up early, so they kept asking the waiter to bring something to the room to eat.

Today, Ray Allen planned to go to the restaurant for breakfast on a whim, but he saw Liu Xiu. Hill went out to buy a pack of cigarettes and saw Liu Xiu and Ray Allen. The lawless maniac got up and washed up and heard voices outside the door...

...the achievement of four people having breakfast together.

This actually allowed the three teammates to understand some aspects of the warden's self-discipline. It is this self-discipline that is quite special.

Just after playing back-to-back games, the team's schedule was to fly to the next stop at 3 p.m.
