“This is a crushing of the rotation, and the content of the second quarter shows the gap between the championship teams and the playoff teams.
The 76ers paid a huge price for their peak performance in 2001.
If Yin Guodala and Korver hadn't emerged, this 76 team really wouldn't have any future..."
Walker was in hot form tonight and could not be left to rot on the bench.
In the second quarter, he made 6 of 8 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter, leading the Heat to a 65-58 score in the first half with a 7-point advantage. Go to the locker room to rest.
Posey's performance was mediocre, making 1 of 2 shots. Logically speaking, he should go down, but the Heat's goal is the championship, not an ordinary regular season.
If you don't play, how will you get through it?
Posey has wasted a lot of time, so naturally he has to play.
Without O'Neal, Mourning could only press in the penalty area.
Haslem was beaten by Webber, and Jason Williams was also beaten by Iverson and had no friends. It would be better to try a substitution.
Su Bei is a surprise in this year's draft, and there is no reason to abandon his martial arts skills.
Wade will support the Heat's system and is an indispensable cornerstone.
In the second half, the Heat's lineup changed to Mourning, Walker, Posey, Su Bei and Wade.
The 76ers paid for their run to the Finals in 2001 and overdrawn their future. They only had this strength and had no choice but to play with the starting lineup.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy still wanted to use Wade's defense to create some offensive difficulties for Iverson.
However, he was soon slapped in the face.
A superstar of Iverson's level has basically said goodbye to the possibility of being targeted.
Wade's physical talent is top-notch, and his skills have also improved a lot. However, the only one who can really limit Iverson is himself.
It just depends on whether his touch is online or not.
Swish——!
In the first round alone, Wade sent it.
Fortunately, the Heat offensive possession.
Wade quickly recovered the lost points on Iverson and also broke through for a layup.
His top-notch speed, dominant strength, powerful explosion, and the advantage of height and long arms instantly hurt Iverson's defensive weakness.
Use a fire lift to pick up the basket, ignore Iverson's defense, and send the basketball to the basket.
After several rounds of head-to-head duels, the two discovered that at most they would just blow each other up in attack.
"The Heat took the lead. Posey let go of his defense on Yingodala, pounced on Iverson, and teamed up with Wade...
The basketball was passed to Yingdara's hands, he broke through, hit the basket, and scored the basketball..."
Yingadala's impact style of play is also unreasonable. When he rushes, he either hits the basket or goes to the free throw line.
The Heat's pinch defense still failed to completely limit the 76ers' offense.
The game is so anxious.
The 76ers can't guard the Heat now.
Walker can't let it go anymore. Su Bei's three-pointer is also a tough one.
Without help from the flanks, the defense cannot be contracted. Wade's sharp breakthroughs are always on, killing people with ease.
"God's Coming"
The 76ers tried a double attack, but died immediately.
In the 6th minute of the third quarter, Wade's breakthrough was flanked, and he split the ball to assist Su Bei's three-pointer.
As time went by, the Heat's flanking tactics gradually gained effectiveness.
"Iverson's breakthrough, the ball after being flanked.
In the three-point corner, Yingedara received the ball and he was completely empty.
Percy was a little too far away and didn't bother to save him.
Yin Gedara took aim for about a second, and then tried a three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
There is no suspense, Yingedala's three-point iron is almost the same as "Iron Zha".
Yingadala didn't know himself yet, so he dared to take three-pointers whenever he had the chance.
Just by looking at those muscles, you can predict how bad his three-point shooting is.
In the 2005/06 season, the three-point shooting percentage was 35%, which was the highest season for Yingadala in recent years.
However, without stable shooting, how could it match Iverson's sudden scoring style?
If it weren't for Yinguedala being quite active on the defensive end, Iverson would have thought he was being played. Yinguodala was simply an undercover agent sent by the monkeys to trick him.
Not only did he steal the ball, but he also missed his pass.
In fact, it's normal. Kobe did it too.
After cheating O'Neal for three years, there are many three years in life, and he is still close to the peak.
In terms of playing style, when Yinguodala was a rookie, he was really similar to Kobe.
However, Kobe was not talented enough and could only polish his skills.
Yin Gedala is so talented that he doesn't need to practice at all. He can achieve results by just keeping his head down and moving forward.
With the existence of Yin Guodala, the 76ers wanted to chase points, but they failed to catch up. Instead, they were beaten a little painfully by the Heat's counterattack.
At the end of the third quarter, the Heat had widened the point difference to 11 points.
Although the suspense of the game is still there, the Heat have accumulated a lot of winning momentum bit by bit.
"Wade's scoring ability is still a little behind Iverson.
However, with their assists and defensive advantages, the offensive impact of Wade and Iverson can almost be offset.
Now it depends on other performances..."
For the 76ers, it's other people, but it's Webber's offensive scoring ability.
The 76ers brought him here just to share the offensive pressure with Iverson.
Not to mention, in the first three quarters of the game, Weber's performance was solid.
After all, Weber had been beaten a lot in the West.
When meeting Hasmus and Walker, power forwards of this level, scoring is as easy as drinking water.
However, Weber is now almost 33 years old. He used to be a broken man. Wanting to develop physical fitness is just a dream.
When his physical fitness is sufficient, Webber does perform like Pippen, averaging 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season. However, without physical fitness guarantee, he is a young phoenix.
If you can't attack, you can't defend.
In the end, it was Iverson who had to carry the team's offense.
Korver was attracted by Su Bei, who has a similar playing style. He has no tactical system to cover him, and even his off-ball skills have to be put away. He can only be a quiet position shooter. Is it the icing on the cake, but a timely help?
It also depends on whether Iverson gives him a chance.
In terms of lineup thickness, the gap between the two teams is visible to the naked eye.
The star players of the 76ers did not lose to the star players of the Heat. As a result, the game went to the Heat.
Iverson can still hit the basket as always, score easily, and play his own hero ball.
However, his dominance has been sunk to the bottom of the sea with the disappearance of the "four guarantees and one tactic".
Buzz—!
An accompanying beep sounds and a red light lights up.
The score was 109 to 96. The Heat had a 13-point advantage and defeated the 76ers. While the 76ers ended their 2-game winning streak, the Heat also achieved 2 consecutive victories.
Wade scored 31 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, another near-triple-double performance.
In this era, it is not enough to rely solely on personal ability to perform a triple-double almost every game.
Walker made 10 of 15 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 0 assists. When the wind was blowing, it was really impossible to stop him.
Su Bei made 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He only scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Compared to Posey's 3-for-7 shooting, 1-for-2 three-pointers, 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Subei is still in the leading position in the competition.
Although the 76ers lost, Iverson played 44 minutes and made 16 of 30 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 13 free throws, and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. In the competition for the scoring champion, Still clinging to Kobe.
