However, facing the formidable Heat, his state was completely different from before, as he revealed his sharp fangs right from the start of the game.
"Defense! Defense!"
The mood of the fans was driven by Hansen's scoring, beginning to cheer loudly for the home team in unison.
Durant's off-ball movement was successfully restricted by the Grizzlies, but his movement also drew a considerable part of the Grizzlies' defensive resources.
Wade took advantage of the situation to break into the basket and finished with Mysterious Steps past Little Gasol.
If James's departure had benefited Bosh greatly, then Durant's arrival had brought Wade immense benefits.
Wade had never before played with such a top scorer, and the offensive constraint allowed him not only to avoid playing hardball like before but also to face much less defensive pressure than previously.
