As we all know, Dwyane Wade had an excellent game vs. Boston. He scored 38 points and was 67% from the field. He even made two 3 point shots and went 8-9 from the free throw line. Here is a high light video of Wade in the first game of the Eastern Semi Finals. You should have your pause button working because throughout the video I want to explain how Wade had success vs. the Celtics more than other times.
Dwyane Wade 38 points vs Celtics full highlights (2011 NBA playoffs CSF GM1) (via kietasss)
Time :
00:01-00:05
Teammates create space for Wade through picks. LeBron screens off Ray Allen so Wade can start the game off right and hit the jumper.
00:07-00:12
Another example of space being created. Only this time Wade does it himself. He sort of leans off Allen which makes Allen go in the opposite direction and Wade was left open for the duce.
00:22-00:26
Not sure what happened to Ray Allen's defense here, but it probably has to do with LeBron having the ball in his hands. LeBron attracts the traffic around him and it leaves Wade open enough for him to cut to the basket for an easy two.
2:14-2:20
Here D3 uses his speed to get past the older Allen for the and one.
2:24-2:30
Again LeBron attracts attention and Wade knows that Allen isn't guarding him at the moment. So Wade cuts towards the paint and LeBron finds him for another lay up.
3:13-3:20
I actually can't break this part down. This is just Wade being Wade. Multiple defenders on him and he knocks it down off the glass to beat the buzzer.
4:40-4:58
Listen to Jeff Van Gundy explain Wade's key to shooting a high % is his balance.
5:35-5:42
Wade notices that he has Rondo in the paint, and so does Chalmers. He tosses him the ball, Wade catches it, Big Baby Davis over pursues and it leads to an easy lay up plus one.
6:30-6:40
Wade notices LeBron grabs the rebound on transition. So he sprints down the court and finishes the touchdown like pass.
That is ESF Game video break down of Dwyane Wade.
