Wade sprinted at full speed, charging toward the basket alongside Tony Allen.
Tony Allen had been in particularly good defensive form tonight.
LeBron's attacks on the rim had yielded no good results under Tony Allen's defense.
Was Wade even less capable??
At first glance, that seemed to be the case.
In reality, at this point in time, Wade's raw scoring abilities were stronger than LeBron's.
Now that he had built up speed, how could he possibly fear Tony Allen trailing him from the side?
Raise Fire to Burn the Heavens—he ignored Tony Allen's defense entirely and threw down a two-handed dunk over his head.
There was no technique involved, just pure talent overpowering him.
Then, on the following possession, Wade got another fast-break opportunity.
Tony Allen caught up from the side again, and this time, the two raced into the paint side by side.
If Wade still wanted to dunk, he would definitely be disrupted by Tony Allen, perhaps even blocked.
Wade knew that as well, but he did not slow down. He cradled the ball as if he were about to attack, but instead launched Phantom Step.
Right, then left—he completely shifted Tony Allen's center of gravity.
Tony Allen took off, while Wade calmly scooped the ball up from the other side.
Swish!
It went in.
Not only was Wade immensely talented, but he also had a diverse array of individual offensive moves.
Even with Tony Allen defending seriously, he could not stop Wade from scoring.
But defense was Tony Allen's duty. He would not become passive or afraid just because Wade had scored on him twice.
On the Heat's next offensive possession, he still locked onto Wade, the Flash—the Heat's most dangerous perimeter scorer at the moment.
The Flash had the ball and did not pass.
