Du En has the ball, and with Du En's personal strength, he can score whenever he wants.
Wade plays without the ball and has no stable shooting ability. He only relies on air cuts and fast breaks to score. How many points can he score in a game?
What's more, Wade is still a rookie and his status in the Heat is not high. Even if Wade has a chance without the ball, his teammates may not be able to pass the ball to Wade immediately.
It is precisely because of this that after more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, Wade made a layup and scored 2 points.
However, after Wade scored, Duan stopped inking and immediately called Wade on the pick-and-roll, driving to the basket or scoring to help his teammates.
"So fast!" Having defended Du En personally, Wade knew that Du En's back-turning speed was also very fast.
Wade has amazing explosive power and is faster than Duen, but his stride length is still a little smaller than Duen.
Once Duen turned his back and was half a body ahead, Wade had no way to catch up with Duen.
"Dwyane, you should be more aggressive on defense! Don't let the No. 31 rookie on the opposite side easily get into the penalty area."
Faced with the complaints from his teammates, Wade could only nod in recognition.
Although Du En used the pick and roll to hit him, his failure to guard Du En was indeed due to his lack of ability.
Wade wanted to be tough in front of his good brother Du En, but unfortunately Du En was too strong and powerful.
Wade found that he couldn't resist Duen's back blow.
Time passed very quickly, and the first quarter lasted for more than 9 minutes. When Wade came off the court to rest, Duan had already made 2 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists.
If nothing else goes wrong, Duan scored 20+10 points and assisted a double-double tonight, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
18 to 26, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers easily took an 8-point lead thanks to Duen's offensive attack with the ball.
In the second quarter, Duane and Wade played similar roles. They both came on the bench to play.
"Du En, let's compete again!
I can't guard you, but you can't guard me either!
I will prove to you that I, who is ranked higher, have more talent than you! "
Wade was unwilling to be beaten by Du En all the time, so he took the initiative to challenge Du En.
After possessing the ball, Wade was really at home, and his scoring increased much faster than in the first quarter.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps in order to avenge the first quarter, Wade also took the initiative to name Du En to play.
Wade's style of play is relatively simple. In fact, it is similar to Duan's play in the first quarter, both playing pick-and-roll and catching mismatches.
The difference between the two is that Duen also plays the role of the central axis in the triangle offensive system. Therefore, when launching an offense at a high position, he always uses his back to attract the defense, connect the team in series, and then find opportunities to attack independently.
Wade doesn't need to think about connecting the team, he can just use his explosive power to hit the basket.
After the pick-and-roll, Wade seized the moment when Duan failed to change defense in time, immediately took steps, and sprinted towards the basket with a European step without slowing down.
Although he has not yet reached his peak, it is relatively easy for Wade to get past Duane.
However, the handwork under the basket needs to be strengthened.
Perhaps because his cheeks are not big enough, Wade's finishing ability after confrontation at the basket is obviously not at its peak.
In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Wade, who had gained a lot of the ball, only made 2 of 4 shots and scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Obviously, this performance does not help the Heat narrow the point difference.
Van Gundy saw that Wade had nothing to do with Duane, so he had to send Eddie Jones in advance to help Wade limit Duane and add stronger offensive firepower.
However, Duane also has Payton by his side! Not counting the preseason, Duane and Payton also played 10 games, and the tacit understanding between teammates has long been developed.
Duan relied on Payton to share the pressure of holding the ball, and he still played with ease on the court.
Eddie Jones was heavily guarded by Kobe in the first quarter, and his hands seemed to be stained with rust. After replacing him in the second quarter, two consecutive shots ended in blacksmithing.
If it weren't for the huge difference between the Heat jerseys and the Lakers jerseys, the fans in the seats on the top of the mountain might mistake Eddie Jones for Kobe.
Of course, the Lakers fans at the scene were not kept waiting. Within a few minutes, Zen Master sent Kobe and Malone to the court.
Affected by his shoulder injury, Kobe will inevitably miss a few shots, but the Heat can't make a shot, so it won't affect the overall game.
Relying on Malone's height advantage against Haslem, the Lakers expanded their advantage in the second half of the second quarter.
"Du En, it seems that I am no longer your match."
During a matchup in the third quarter, Wade felt a little lonely and took the initiative to surrender to Du En.
"Hey, rookie, don't underestimate Dwyane Wade, he's my brother!
The Dwyane Wade I know is very powerful. He has a talent that I envy. He can hit everything with the ball.
No one can beat him, not even Michael Jordan!
Cheer up, the game is not over yet, why should you admit defeat? "
Duane continued to trash talk Wade, hoping to arouse Wade's fighting spirit.
Wade's personality seems to be born with a bit of inferiority. Perhaps it was after Riley's training that he developed the iron-blooded, tough and unwilling character he would become in the future.
Duan believes that Wade will become the third shooting guard in history in memory, and that is the Dwyane Wade that Duan wants to play brother basketball!
81 to 104, the Lakers' main force clocked in the third quarter and beat the Heat with 23 points in the game.
It was also because the game was one-sided early on that Duen didn't have the chance to play in the fourth quarter to collect statistics during garbage time.
In the end, Duan made 7 of 12 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists. Although he once again posted a double-double, he failed to score 20 as he wished.
On the other hand, Wade got a lot of performance opportunities because of the garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Obviously, he only made 4 of 10 shots in the first three quarters and 2 of 3 free throws, a 10-point performance. After the fourth quarter, the overall statistics turned into 9 of 17 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Don't watch the game, just look at the data, it seems that Du En is still overwhelmed by Wade.
But the real situation is that Wade simply admitted defeat, and then regained his confidence under Du En's tireless persuasion, saying that he would fight Du En again in Miami.
After defeating Wade in Brothers Basketball, Dunn readily accepted the media's post-game interview.
The Lakers won three consecutive home games this week, sweeping away the haze of two consecutive away losses last week.
No one could have imagined at the time that the Los Angeles Lakers could actually achieve an excellent record of 8 wins and 2 losses, second in the Western Conference, in the absence of their leader O'Neal.
It was also because of his perfect start to the season that when Dunn was being interviewed, some reporters began to hint that he hoped he would shout out the Lakers championship slogan.
It was just a joke, so Du En just followed their wishes and behaved in a high-profile manner.
"My grandma can win the championship even if she plays with the OK team plus Carl and Gary!"
"Michael Jordan is the undisputed GOAT, but he can't win the championship without Zen Master!"
"Shaq is the best player in the league, and passing the ball to Shaq is the best tactic!"
"Even if we face Michael Jordan, we don't have to worry, don't forget we have Kobe!"
"I have no disrespect for Tim Duncan, but I still have to say that in my eyes Karl is the best power forward!"
"Gary is great, he will sacrifice everything for the championship.
He was my mentor in the Lakers and he taught me a lot.
If we were talking about historical status, I would rank him with Magic. Gary is very important to me. "
In the post-game interview, Dunn undoubtedly gained a greater say in the Lakers locker room...
