Chapter 288: Justice Executed

```

Shaquille O'Neal might not have been on the court, but the Miami Heat's inside strength was still formidable, with Alonzo Mourning's defense being more active than O'Neal's.

Moreover, since they didn't need to keep feeding the ball inside, the Heat's possession was completely in the hands of their perimeter players.

Dwyane Wade and Gary Payton could fire at will.

This made Yu Fei realize that the 23-year-old Wade had accomplished something Kobe hadn't—relegating Shaquille O'Neal to the team's second option.

Furthermore, with the version that prohibits playing hands-on defense on a player, Wade's playstyle fully exploited the version's advantage.

In the first quarter against the Bucks, after O'Neal was subbed out by Riley, Wade took over and was unstoppable with his shots and drives. Except for his three-pointers not being precise, he was essentially flawless.
