Chapter 176 Janeway Connection
In the opening game, the Bobcats scored 4 points in a row by attacking inside, and the Heat, as the most accurate three-point team in the league, responded with three-pointers.

Chen Xiao, who was still resolutely going to the paint area, failed to catch the ball this round. When he saw that besides pushing left and right and pulling his veins violently, there was Haslem, the "Heat team spirit", standing on the ground. Very close to him, Chen Xiao immediately raised his finger to the position of his teammate Warrick.

Although Walker, who holds the ball from the outside, is not a traditional vacant position, his vision and passing skills are not bad. He raised the ball with both hands and threw the ball, and the basketball quickly entered the hands of Warrick, who had already set up the fort.

Varrick, with his white hairband and a little bit of Elvis Presley Wallace, put his hands on the bow and made a two-point shot.

Hey, seeing the basketball jump out of the hoop, Chen Xiao leaned forward with his upper body and reached for the offensive rebound with his left hand, but he smashed the basket with too much force. down.

The Heat got the defensive rebound, and Chen Xiao just turned around from the position of grabbing the rebound under the basket. The Heat fans who saw this scene seemed to widen their eyes tacitly.

Wade jumped up to catch the rebound, turned around when he landed, and immediately dribbled and pushed to switch.

Without his greetings or squeaks, James on the same side has already run halfway ahead of all Heat players.

Wade pushed and sent the ball while dribbling. James, who was already in front of the Bobcats three-point line, saw the ball ahead of time. He sped up his pace slightly and moved his right hand forward.

While taking the pass from Wade, James' pace was also brought to the basket.

Chen Xiao, who was striding back to the defense, could only watch James also stride into the paint area. Although Middleton, who returned to the defense in time, blocked him from the side, it just prevented James from taking off directly, but started to backhand the ball. into the basket.

"Boom"

"A backhand dunk, the Heat took a total of 5 seconds from D·Wade's defensive rebound to LBJ's re-dunk into the net. It's fast and powerful. This is the Miami Heat." The host Ernie couldn't help admiring.

Watching videos and live broadcasts before, Chen Xiao has seen the Heat's extreme fast break, but now he sees Wade copying the rebound, whoosh~ pass, James takes the ball and starts, Boom dunks and scores. shocked.

Because in addition to the Heat in the league now, the Thunder may only play like this, Westbrook plays fast, and this style of play requires too much speed, strength and physical fitness of the stars.

Like the Lakers who played against each other not long ago, they still played run and gun, attacking quickly in 7 seconds, but they couldn't run with a bunch of old arms and old legs, and they were almost smashed by the young cats.

Chen Xiao, who had already run back to the paint area, stopped in front of the basket by inertia, ignored James who raised his hand at the camera reporter after dunking, and raised his hand to pat Middleton on the back of the head.

Middleton, who failed to prevent the Heat from rushing to the basket, opened his mouth as if to explain.

"Defense in place, that's normal." Chen Xiao said without waiting for Middleton to open his mouth, raising his hand to pat the back of his head.

Of course, Middleton didn’t want to explain why he failed to defend James. This is not nonsense. A second-round pick can block James’ fast break, so Middleton can directly put the DPOY and defense of the 12-13 season in his pocket up.

What Middleton wanted to explain was that he didn't dare to go up and stop it.

After all, Middleton, who returned to defense early, still had a chance to erect a human barrier for the impactful little emperor.

Chen Xiao knew his younger brother Mi Dou, so he comforted him by looking at his eyes, as long as the defense is in place.

Take a look at the rookie Middleton's physique of about 20 kilograms and a body of horizontally trained muscles. The muscles bulge like blown air, like the Heat James of a human tank. The weight difference is at least [-] kilograms.

What kind of life do you want to play with two salaries that can't reach you in a month?

Chen Xiao, who turned around and went to the Heat's half court, couldn't help sighing when he saw James who was also running forward, it's not human.

So heavy and so capable of flying, the Heat Zhan is still outrageous.

Cough cough, Chen Xiao, who was back on the inside line of the Heat, silently came to Bosh's side.

The Dragon King, who only had a long neck and was slightly smaller than Chen Xiao in weight, was kind.

But the Dragon King is not a normal player. A normal player has such a long neck?

But the big man, the Dragon King, who is in an important position, is kind, and his shrimp soldiers and crab generals are too annoying, and they all stretch their necks and arms to explore this way.

Chen Xiao, who couldn't relax and relax in the low position, had to change his style of play.

After making a pick-and-roll gesture with Walker on the outside line, Chen Xiao stepped up and walked up, and Walker took advantage of the situation to pull the ball.

Chen Xiao pushed Chalmers inside with Chalmers attached to his body, and pushed a step into the paint area. Chalmers was on his body, and James, who left Middleton behind, came to defend.

As he squeezed towards the basket, Chen Xiao glanced at James from the corner of his eye. LeBron James was wearing a black headband and a classic Heat jersey with a white background and red trim.

Walker, who has a good view at the top of the arc, will not drop Middleton, who is open, and flicks the ball to the left.

Middleton, who was in a catching posture, received the ball smoothly. This time, facing James who immediately stopped Chen Xiao's footsteps and slid back to defend, Middleton did not shy away from the little emperor's deterrent. Finish the shooting motion steadily.

The basketball has successfully bypassed James' head and flew towards the basket.

Having reached the basket, he stepped with his right foot, pushed aside Chalmers, who was still making trouble in front of him, and held Haslem, who was desperately pushing toward the basket, with his right hand.

As long as it's not a long rebound, I'll take the ball!

"Bang" the basketball hit the back basket and bounced again.

Chen Xiao bent his knees and exerted strength, his right hand was still supported, and his left hand was raised a little, the basketball that fell from the left side of the basket returned to its proper position.

"Dong brush" wipes the board into the net.

After completing another second attack, Chen Xiao turned his neck, only to see Bosh rushing back behind him, hey, what about the others, wasn't there someone fighting against him just now?

Oh, Chen Xiao, who lowered his head slightly, saw Chalmers who just took his hands away from his jersey, and Haslem who was pulling his right hand.

"So you are by my side? I don't feel it." Chen Xiao scratched his head, smiled honestly, and turned back to defend.

Haslem, who has a lot of seniority and a good temper, was angry, and was about to go up to trouble Chen Xiao, and was stopped by the Dragon King.

Both of you are pulling left and right, let Chen Xiao get the offensive rebound and score, if he wants to pretend to be aggressive, he will pretend to be aggressive, let's hurry up and serve, Chen Xiao is gone, you donis I can't catch up, the steps are given to you, go down quickly.Bosh, who had a lot of inner activities, thought to himself.

The knowledgeable Haslem went down the donkey along the slope, and by the way took the ball to the bottom line and sent it to Chalmers who happened to be on the side.

Chen Xiao, who was waiting for Bosh at the free throw line, saw Chalmers push the ball from the backcourt before Bosh dribbled the ball, and the basketball crossed the rainbow arc.

Chen Xiao looked at the destination of the basketball. James, who was in the low post and was about to get in position with Middleton, had turned around and grabbed the ball. He stretched his left hand under the basket just in time to get the basketball.

Facing Middleton behind him and Henderson in front of him who wanted to defend, he jumped up and scored the ball.

Isn't that right? Apart from the way the ball is passed, why is it so similar to Chen Xiao's ball just now?

"The Heat's inside line can't stop Chen, but during the operation, the Bobcats' outside line can't do anything to James. He is not a SIZE player at all and can't stop him." Kenny Smith commented.

Dunlap on the sidelines was also scratching his head. The Heat's fast-break push conversion was difficult for the Bobcats to defend, and the Heat hit the ball inside. If Chen Xiao was distracted, the Bobcats would also be difficult to defend.

But there is no way, who made the Heat gather the Big Three, and there are players from the inside and outside that other teams are difficult to match.

"Defense!" Dunlap could only encourage the players in the next defensive round.

But Dunlap's encouragement failed to delay the Heat's fast break. James, who bent over and sprinted, took the ball and strode into the interior. Facing Walker in front of him, he made a small European step and passed the ball from his left hand Switch to the right hand, jump up the waist and abdomen to exert force as if there was a short stagnation in the air, and dunk the ball into the basket with the right hand.

"Boom!"

Damn it, the Bobcats fans at the scene shook their heads helplessly, and some cursed in frustration.

In this offensive and defensive round just now, Walker, who often stands by the river without wet shoes, made a pass error, and the basketball was copied by the rushing James. Although the faster Walker returned to the basket, he faced the rushing James. , or can only avoid its edge, followed by a top ten-level fast break one-handed dunk.

This time Chen Xiao didn't chase back as hard as last time, and Chen Xiao slowed down when he ran to the center line, because James had already started to buckle.

Pointing to Walker to block the ball, or James himself to dunk the ball, the possibility is still too low. Not only Chen Xiao, but also the Heat and Bobcats players around him all slowed down, chasing and chasing a hammer, we have nothing to do Everyone should go back to the Heat for halftime.

Except for Warrick, who was about to serve, the Bobcats ran back to the baseline to get the ball to Walker. The others paused at the center line, watched the ball go into the basket, and returned to the frontcourt.

James, who scored 6 points in Chalmers and imitated Chen Xiao who scored 3 points in a row, not only helped the Heat overtake the score, but also slightly expanded the point difference to a [-]-point gap.

Walker took the ball across the half court. Chen Xiao didn't just wait in the low post this time, and the Bobcats didn't rigidly perform outside-out-in, Walker-Middleton-Chen Xiao pass.

Walker, who took the ball at the top of the arc, gave the ball to Warrick who took Haslem out on the left.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was running from the left side to the basket, stopped his right foot, kicked the ground, reversed his body posture, pushed Bosh behind him with his buttocks, "Hang!" One second before he was in place , The cry for the ball has been exported.

Facing Haslem, who is shorter than himself at the power forward position, Warrick lobbed the ball firmly into the low post.

Stuck Bosh, Chen Xiao caught the ball into his hands.

Making sure to keep Bosh under control, Chen Xiao tilted his head as soon as he caught the ball, watching the movements of James and Wade on the other side.

Knowing what was in his mind, Chen Xiao released the ball with his right hand and arched towards Bosh behind him. He didn't close the ball immediately, but still controlled the ball to his side and dribbled a little to the upper line.

Chen Xiao, whose field of vision was already in the front corner on the other side, jumped up with the ball, facing the double-teaming situation with Bosh on the left and Haslem on the right, and briefly checked the half-court situation.

Middleton is in the corner, Walker is on the right wing, and James is a little farther in front of Middleton.

Hey, Chen Xiao sketched a pass in his mind, and when he thought of it, Chen Xiao passed the ball diagonally to Walker on the outside.

As Chen Xiao moved, Chalmers, who was originally at the top of the arc and now getting closer to the free throw line, saw the basketball flying towards him, subconsciously jumped up and wanted to intercept it, but the long distance between his arm and the basketball after the jump made his heart tremble. Tight, landing feels like turning around sharply to make up for it.

But Walker, who got the basketball from the right wing, has already hit the ball to Middleton in the bottom corner.

As for James, who was guarding Middleton, he naturally saw the passing trajectory to make up for Chalmers.

After receiving the ball, Middleton, who was wide open in front of him, still had time to look down at his toes to confirm that he was outside the three-point line. Middleton raised his hand and fired.

Chen Xiao, who was entangled with Bosh in front of the basket, heard the crisp sound of friction between the basketball and the net this time, and Middleton shot a three-pointer into the net.

"Good job, Chris, this is what we need." Seeing that Middleton made a shot, the on-site commentator Knight showed a gratified smile and praised.

The Bobcats tied the score.

Leaning on Middleton with his back, James hit the No Look Pass from behind to Wade, who slipped into the basket. The basket faced Bosh, who was heavily populated by the Bobcats, and Wade scored high.

Chen Xiaofu, who was trying to intercept Wade in the next step to the basket, turned his gun and reached out to interfere with Bosh.

"Bang" Bosh missed the basket in the middle distance, crossed the bridge and hit the underside of the backboard, and fell directly into the Bobcats player's arms.

Seeing the ball thrown like this, Chen Xiao was also happy. Why do I feel that my hand is stretched out to play a symbolic interference effect? ​​Is it just to save face? My [Frame Protector Elite] badge is not included outside the restricted area ah.

It seems that not only Middleton is worried about facing James, but also Bosh, who was ravaged by Chen Xiao in the opening game, also has a shadow in his heart when facing Chen Xiao's long arm. According to the commentary, this shot is almost three-way dip.

Bosh's mid-range miss gave the Bobcats a chance to overtake the score.

Walker received a pass from Warrick, who got the rebound, and quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, Chen Xiao and Middleton on the other side had reached the right wing of the Heat's frontcourt simultaneously.

The Heat's formation was somewhat disorganized. The two most mobile defenders, James and Wade, were left at the end. Walker took the ball to the LOGO position in front of the center line. Suddenly push.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who ran into the three-point line, drove away the nearest defender Bosh in front of the two, and Middleton once again got a big open opportunity.

"Shoot." Chen Xiao, who was going inside, stuck Bosh with his shoulder, preventing Bosh from stepping forward in time to defend.

Middleton received the ball, dribbled a step forward, joined the ball with a small jump, and raised his hand to shoot against the three-point line.

"哐" There was a dull sound of iron striking, and the basketball hit the front basket and bounced directly into the hands of James who turned back to the basket.

Seeing the ball hit the man, Chen Xiao hurried back to defend without saying a word.

The rebound flew to James, who had completed two consecutive fast breaks and attacked the basket, and directly gave a red exclamation signal to all the Bobcats players on the field, and it was important to return to defense.

The Heat fans in the arena and in front of the screen saw the rebound flying towards James' position, and they were already looking forward to James' next full-court run.

The Bobcat players at the scene saw that the basketball was missed, and they had already shouted "Defense" to remind the players to defend under the guidance of the on-site commentary.

However, the stagnant live broadcast footage made this imaginary fast break come to naught.

James, who came back from the free throw line, failed to hold the ball firmly in the face of the rebound that bounced rapidly, and bent over to grab the ball on the floor. However, all the Bobcats players had returned to their own half, which did not give the Heat a chance to make a fast break again.

The situation thus stabilized a little for half a quarter.

A missed shot may not be punished immediately, but a turnover in the high post is to give the opponent the sharpest edge closest to his vitals.

Walker, who has averaged 2 turnovers per game so far this season, made another turnover after giving James a fast break "assist" in the opening game.

James, who attacked like a tiger, scored the pass again, but this time James did not stage a good show of single-handedly attacking the basket to end.

This time Walker's turnover position was not as high as last time. After the ball was lost, Walker delayed James' path to the Bobcats basket, buying Middleton next to him a little time to return to his defensive position.

James, who didn't fully raise the speed, seemed to be pushing Walker and Middleton to the Bobcats half from the perspective of the broadcast. Facing Walker and Middleton who were blocked in front of him in time, James did not choose to force him, and the ball It was assigned to Wade, who was outflanked by the left wing.

The Heat not only have the machete of James, but also the sharp sword of Wade.

Wade took the ball and took a big stride. Facing Mi and Wo who turned the gun in time, he raised the ball and jumped up. Facing the two blocked Wade, who had no direct angle to attack the basket, he protected the ball in his own bad. When the shot fell in the air, the waist and abdomen exerted strength, twisted the body, and hooked the ball back to the basket.

Chen Xiao, who was rushing to his home basket, could only watch as James, who passed the ball down, dunked Wade's unremembered twisting hook shot into the basket.

Perhaps this is also a way for Janeway to connect, but there are no assists, uh, and a miss is added.

What?You call this the Janeway Connection?Wade, who seemed to have heard the voices of others, asked Chen Xiao to directly connect the long-distance James and Wei on the spot.

Chalmers took the ball to the top of the arc and passed the ball to Wade, who was standing on the right wing. Bosh, who had been in the bottom corner and standing high in the first half, rarely came to the paint to raise his hands.

Chen Xiao looked at James who was beyond the three-point line on one side, and followed Bosh to the paint.

At this time, I was still thinking about when Bozi was so tough to ask for the ball. When he catches the ball in this position, what is it, are you going to play a back single and play a fadeaway jumper, or are you going to be a supporting center axis.

Wrong, Bozi's role in this round is to cover the center axis. After taking Chen Xiao away from the right side, the next second, the basket was blown up.

Wade, who was outside the three-point line on the right wing, sent an alley-oop more than 25 feet away to James, who was rushing inside along the sideline on the left wing.

Janeway officially completed the air connection in the first quarter.

This ball is obviously the most exciting ball in the first section of the Bobcats Heat, and it is also the most detailed ball used in tactics.
