NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 267 Wade’s knee problem breaks out!

The game is over.

The overwhelming accusations from the media were directed at Thompson.

In such a crucial game, they actually performed such a poor performance, causing the team to step into the abyss with half a foot. There is no doubt that this is the sinner of Chi Guoguo.

For a time, Thompson became the target of public criticism.

Compared with the Heat, the superb performance of the two stars has set a benchmark for all backcourt combinations in the league.

What is a super combo?

This is.

A main attacker, the data is luxurious 44+8+6.

A main containment, the data is also very luxurious, 30+18.

Their practical actions tell everyone that they cannot be underestimated by anyone.

Wade, in particular, received much praise.

You must know that in last season's finals, the Heat were humiliated by the Spurs. After five games, they lost four miserably. The score in G1 was 95:110, and they lost by a full 15 points.

G3's game was 92:111, going one step further and losing by 18 points.

G4's game was 86:107, and it went one step further and lost by a full 21 points.

In the life-and-death battle of G5, the Heat finally got their blood back, but still lost 87:104 by 17 points.

In the game they won, the score was 98:96, and they only won by 2 points.

A true gentleman sweeps...

Wade's performance throughout the series was extremely poor, and he was considered by the public to be the main culprit in the team's defeat. He averaged 12.8 shots per game, hitting 5.6 goals, with a shooting percentage of 43.7%, and averaged 15.2 points and 2.6 assists per game. 3.8 rebounds, nothing like a giant.

特别是后两场，一场13投3中，只拿到了10分4助攻2篮板的数据。

另一场12投4中，拿到了11分1助攻3篮板。

The performance can be called undercover.

而最好的表现是在G3，12投8中拿到了22分2助攻4篮板的数据。

This was Wade's performance in the Finals last season, and it was nothing short of disappointing.

At that time, everyone felt that this was Wade's problem.

Everyone thought Wade was dead.

It is not even taboo to say that Wade is holding James back.

This is also the reason why James wanted to leave last summer. With the game like this, he couldn't play anymore.

But now, four games down.

Wade’s data are:

第一战19中9拿到了23分3助攻7篮板的数据。

第二战22中12爆砍30分5助攻6篮板。

第三战22投8中只有22分6助攻7篮板。

来到第四战这关键的一战，韦德直接天神下凡，26中17狂轰乱炸般砍下44分8助攻6篮板。

After four games, he took a total of 89 shots and hit 46 of them, with a hit rate of 51.6%.

Compared to last season, he took a total of 64 shots in five games, hitting 28 of them, with a shooting rate of 43.7%.

What a world of difference!
Why did Wade take 89 shots and hit 46 goals after four games of the Finals this season?In the five games of the finals last season, he only took 64 shots and hit only 28 goals.

why?

You must know that Wade has also been injured this season and has been constantly troubled by knee injuries, but he was able to average 22.2 shots and hit 11.5 goals in the finals.

Compared with last season's finals, which took 12.8 shots and hit 5.6 goals, it is definitely intuitive enough.

Why is the gap so big?

What is the answer?

Some people say it's because Bosh was still there in last season's finals and in the Big Three mode, Wade naturally took fewer shots.

In this season's finals, Gasol was absent, so Wade got a lot of the ball.

This answer was partially agreed, but more people raised more doubts. Without a giant, could it be so outrageous that they added 10 shots?
is it possible?
Therefore, the ultimate answer is that when paired with James, Wade's shots and ball rights are severely compressed.

On the other hand, when paired with Xue Liancheng, there was no such phenomenon.

The reason is that Xue Liancheng is a strong three-point shooter. Although his passing vision is at a historical level, he does not dominate the ball and is better paired with Wade.

And James?
A proper ball dominance system, and like Wade, the three-point shooting is not very stable, so when the two team up, one of them is destined to make sacrifices.

The person who died was undoubtedly Wade.

This is why the majestic superstar can only contribute 15.2 points, 2.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds in the finals, which seems so outrageous.

In this season's finals, Wade finally proved himself.

He still has gas in the tank. It's not that he can't pump it out, he just doesn't have the chance to pump it out.

Now after four games, he is averaging 29.7 points, 5.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.6%. These are solid statistics for a superstar!

And he is still an absolute superstar in terms of strength.

People say Wade is not good?
Isn't this enough?So what does it mean to be okay?

People say Wade is holding James back, but with this performance, how does it look like he is holding him back?

So there is only one answer. Wade sacrificed too much to fulfill James.

Some people have even begun to discuss who is the FMVP, Xue Liancheng or Wade.

After all, the big score is 3:1, which basically means that the championship trophy has been touched. If nothing unexpected happens, the finals MVP will be chosen between the two.

Wade had 29.7 points, 5.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and a 51.6% shooting percentage.

Xue Liancheng was not bad either. He took 71 shots in four games, not as many as Wade. He hit 37 of them, with a shooting percentage of 52.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 47%, which is very scary.

The average data per game is 26.7 points, 12.7 assists and 6.2 rebounds. Such data is also super terrifying, even better than Wade.

After all, in addition to 26.7 points, there are also 12.7 assists, which is a full 7 assists more than Wade per game.

So from a mainstream perspective, Xue Liancheng is still considered the MVP of the finals.

But there are also many fans who believe that it is time to clear Wade's name.

After the 06 FMVP, Wade has been at the level of a top player. Until the establishment of the Big Three, Wade began to decline and encountered numerous criticisms.

Now Wade has played a super performance again, breaking all doubts.

Therefore, Wade needs and deserves this FMVP more.

of course.

This can only be considered a sympathy point.

They support Wade to win the FMVP, so naturally they can't just use sympathy. The theme of their discussion is still the role of the two.

They felt Wade had a greater role in the series.

Especially in this fourth game, Wade scored 44 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. His performance was incredible, turning the score into 3:1, just one step away from winning the championship.

Besides.

They believe that Wade has stronger attack ability and is more effective in breaking through and tearing up space. This releases Xue Liancheng's firepower and gives Xue Liancheng more opportunities to connect with the ball.

But this reason does not hold water.

Attacking ability?

Xue Liancheng can often hit very difficult three-pointers at critical moments, setting up a victory for the team. When it comes to offensive ability, Xue Liancheng is not inferior to anyone.

Moreover, Xue Liancheng is the absolute core of the team. Whether he initiates an offense or connects the offense, he does it to the extreme, creating a lot of shooting opportunities for his teammates.

For example, on defensive counterattack, Xue Liancheng averaged assists for Wade's fast break, averaging about 5 points per game.

Does this credit belong to Wade or to Xue Liancheng?

For example, in the fourth game, Xue Liancheng's 30+18 is not necessarily less effective than 44 points. Without Xue Liancheng's three-pointer, Wade would not have so many opportunities to score easily.

Without Xue Liancheng's connecting ball and 18 assists, where would the Heat have any chance of overtaking?

In addition, Xue Liancheng is obviously higher than Wade in terms of court influence, court performance, and team role.

Therefore, they always feel that Xue Liancheng should be FMVP.

of course……

These feuds are just mutual discussions between fans of the two stars.

From the perspective of the Heat, everyone still feels that the two complement each other and achieve each other.

Wade's ability to break through and finish in the face of double teams is something Xue Liancheng does not possess.

Xue Liancheng's three-point deterrence and passing vision are also what Wade lacks.

The two of them work together to make each other more perfect and perform better.

Without Wade's breakthrough and attack, Xue Liancheng would have struggled.

Similarly, without Xue Liancheng's three-pointers and passing vision, Wade would be like a trapped beast, and it would be impossible to have such a super performance.

Therefore, when the two of them work together, they truly achieve each other's success, and neither one of them can do it...

There will be no problem for any of them to win FMVP.

It's just that relatively speaking, Xue Liancheng has a higher probability of winning FMVP. After all, the data of 26+12+6 is much better and more competitive.

And the other side.

A-Smith’s Twitter immediately became lively.

"Didn't I say that warriors are stronger? Wow haha..."

"The big score is 3:1. The Heat are only one step away from winning the championship. What do you think?"

"Are you talking about winning by chance again?"

"I've already made an excuse for you. Thompson is weak, otherwise the Warriors will definitely win this game."

"There is another excuse. Xue Liancheng and Wade both exploded."

"Looking back at what you said, isn't it ridiculous?"

"Do you really think that Xue Liancheng was picked as the MVP, or do you think Wade is really useless?"

"Warriors championship? Shout again and listen..."

Amidst the sarcasm.

A-Smith did not choose to remain silent, but immediately updated his Twitter: Behind 1:3, this is indeed beyond my expectation, but to be honest, I still firmly believe that the overall strength of the Warriors is better than the Heat. If there were no accidents in the first two games, everything would be different.

The fans immediately started to curse.

"Mad FK, your mouth is really tough."

"Isn't the big score enough to explain the problem?" "What are you forcing? In your opinion, everything is an accident, so why don't you say that the Heat's role players did not perform well?"

"I really want to tear your mouth apart. In the fifth game at Miami's home court, the Warriors have no chance."

"We'll see what happens in two days. Let's see what excuse you have then?"

result.

Game [-] is at the American Airlines Center in Miami.

At the beginning, the fans were immediately confused again.

After a wave of 18:6, the Heat called two timeouts in a row. The situation seemed a little bad!
Originally, they thought that playing at home, the Heat had an absolute advantage at the right time and place, and coupled with their majestic momentum, they should have gone all out to end the series directly, but the opening turned out to be like this...

What a disappointment.

After the timeout ended, the Heat did not change anything.

Xue Liancheng was speechless.

Obviously, many of the balls passed are opportunities, or they are open three-pointers.

But they failed to make the shot.

That feeling is really heartbreaking.

And Wade is no longer magical. During the opening period, he only scored 5 points on 1 of 2 shots. How can he still have that indomitable momentum!

The attack to the basket always feels like it's missing. The only goal was when they stole the Warriors' defensive counterattack fast break, and Xue Liancheng made a long pass in the half, allowing Wade to finish the game.

Otherwise, it might be nothing.

Not to mention the others, they are in complete disarray.

He also couldn't figure out why this happened...

Maybe it's the Warriors' desperate mentality that escalates the physical confrontation and makes them unable to adapt for a while?

But no matter what, at this time, he must stand up and solve the problem.

He began to try more breakthroughs, connect the ball to break through, and then complete the finish himself.

The effect is okay.

But facing the storm of the Warriors, his personal performance was simply not good enough.

The first quarter is over.

The Heat trailed by a full 18 points at 38:20.

Another sinkhole was dug.

而这18分中，薛连城一个人就贡献了10分，投篮是6投3中，罚球4罚4中。

Among the other 8 points, Xue Liancheng assisted Wade.

In other words, he basically played the game alone in the first quarter and resisted.

It is normal for him to perform alone.

Everyone else is all inked.

Section two.

The Heat's offense finally showed some improvement, and Xue Liancheng also started to hit two three-pointers.

He scored another 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, which stabilized the team's situation and prevented them from being beaten to death with a stick.

But the point difference is still 17 points.

This sinkhole is so big that it cannot be filled in at once.

The main reason is that Wade still didn't perform well. He scored 11 points on 2 of 6 shots in the entire first half. His condition was really bad.

in the locker room.

Xue Liancheng also asked Wade specifically: "Does your knee hurt?"

Because Wade's state in this game is really abnormal.

He missed two free throws, which is very disappointing.

And when Wade is resting, he will bend over and press his knees.

Wade shook his head with a frustrated look on his face, "It doesn't hurt at all, it's just a little sore. It feels a little difficult to exert force, but please believe that I will be able to overcome it."

This is the finals!

They only have one last game left to win the championship, and no matter what, they have no reason to give up.

Even if he loses his career, he won't hesitate.

This is Wade's creed.

Xue Liancheng secretly said that it was true, but he did not blame him, but comforted him, "It's okay. If you feel uncomfortable, you must rest in time. No matter what, I have everything."

Although Wade said it calmly, it seemed that there was no big problem.

But he knew that Wade's knee injury was definitely not as light as he made it sound.

A little sour?
Are there some?

The answer is undoubtedly more than just some.

It is 100% difficult to exert force.

Wade patted Xue Liancheng and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that pretentious."

Xue Liancheng opened his mouth: "..."

He said nothing more, but his expression was extremely solemn.

In fact, Wade's knees have always been a problem. They are like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

As for when it will explode, no one knows.

But according to the historical trajectory, Wade's performance next season will be okay, and he will still be at an All-Star level.

So he felt that Wade should be fine, and he wasn't too worried...

only……

Now the situation has gone awry, and the Heat are like a beast breaking free from the cage, reaching the finals in one fell swoop.

Maybe the intensity of the playoffs caused Wade's knee to wear out even more, resulting in a lack of knee endurance, and it exploded at this time.

And if Wade is troubled by a knee injury, the problem will be serious.

It is really possible for him to be defeated by the Warriors on his own.

That's right.

He is worried not just about this game, but the entire series.

Maybe by then, the Heat will become a joke, and he will be the joke within the joke.

Just like how the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers in 16 with a 3:1 lead.

The Warriors were nailed to the pillar of shame, and Curry's career has been shrouded in this year's defeat.

A historic team with 73 wins, led by Curry, the two-time MVP, was overturned in a 1:3 deficit and was ridiculed by fans for who knows how many years.

It was really being turned over and stepped on.

He would never accept such a result.

and so……

Section III.

He even strengthened his personal offense and tried to use his personal performance to make the final counterattack.

result.

Still in vain.

Curry and Thompson both broke out in this quarter, and they scored a total of 7 three-pointers in a single quarter.

Not only were the Heat unable to bring the score closer, they were also forced to pull away, with the point difference being reduced to 24 points.

Even if Xue Liancheng activates the 100% hit skill, it will not help.

The tide is gone...

Section IV.

There is no need to even struggle on the court, because the point difference is going to be 30+.

What else are you going up for?
Humiliating yourself?Or brush up points?
Totally unnecessary.

In the end, the Heat lost to the Warriors 95:122, with a 27-point disadvantage.

This result was something the fans never expected.

At home, they were slaughtered so crazily.

Xue Liancheng's personal performance was not bad. He made 24 of 11 shots and 10 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 36 points, plus 7 assists and 4 rebounds.

This was accomplished in three quarters.

of course……

Three quarters were basically played.

Playing time is quite a lot, 33.8 minutes.

Wade had a small rebound in the third quarter, but it was of no use. In the end, he made 17 of 5 shots and only scored 14 points.

As soon as the media finished praising Wade, Wade suddenly died.

He will definitely be scolded.

But Xue Liancheng knew that Wade was already trying his best, playing despite his injuries, and deliberately reducing his shots in order to use his influence to gain space for his teammates.

result……

The Warriors exploded.

122 points!

This kind of super offensive firepower is really not something that ordinary teams can bear. Whoever replaces it, I am afraid the result will not be better than the Heat.

Curry scored 23 points.

Thompson broke out, scoring 34 points, hitting 7 three-pointers, and shot the Heat directly.

Iguodala also performed well this time, scoring 25 points. He was in really good shape. No wonder he was able to win Curry's FMVP.

of course.

Maybe it was not stolen, but a gift from God.

But in this series, even if the Warriors win, Iguodala has little chance.

After all, Curry performed better in this series than in the historical trajectory.
