Yu Fei arrived at the frontcourt like a fire-breathing dragon.
His target was Wade, and no matter who Miami had defending him, he would call for a pick and roll to force Wade to switch onto him.
When Wade realized that Yu Fei had him in his sights, he decided to take on this formidable opponent head-on.
After Wade and Posey had a communication breakdown that Yu Fei forcefully exploited, Wade said to Posey, "JP, let me handle him."
Posey was doubtful, "Are you serious?"
Wade insisted without any hesitation, "He's targeting me; instead of avoiding, better to face him."
The logic was sound, but Posey didn't know whether this move was good or bad.
Defending against Yu Fei head-on is different from occasionally switching defenders, and no one on Miami understood the pressure of doing this better than he did.
Could Wade do it?
On the offensive end, Wade found that Yu Fei had already taken the initiative to defend him.
Perhaps this was their tacit understanding.
