One hero and three helpers! The most important helper in James career is Wade

On May 15, in the history of the NBA, the glory of superstars is often inseparable from the strong helpers. As one of the greatest basketball players of the 21st century, LeBron James's career also confirms the truth of "one hero and three helpers". Among the many teammates who have worked with, Dwyne Wade is undoubtedly James' most important partner. The four-year legend they wrote together with the Miami Heat is still talked about by fans. In the summer of 2010, James announced through a national live broadcast that "bringing talent to South Beach" and that the decision, known as "The Decision", shocked the entire basketball world. James, who was 26 years old at the time, was already a two-time MVP winner, but he was unable to break through the Eastern Conference siege in the Cavaliers. He chose to join the Heat and formed the "Big Three" that shocked the league with Wade and Chris Bosh. This decision caused great controversy at the time, but it brought James the most important turning point in his career. As the 2006 Finals MVP, Wade has long proved that he is the league's top shooting guard. His combination with James is a perfect match - Wade is good at breaking through and shooting in the middle distance, while James is an all-around fighter, and the two perfectly complement each other on both offense and defense. In the early stages of the 2010-11 season, the Heat experienced a period of running-in pain, but as the season deepened, "Jan-Waiter's connection" gradually showed amazing power. That season, the two teamed up to lead the Heat to the finals. Although they eventually lost to the Mavericks led by Nowitzki, this defeat actually made their friendship stronger and laid the groundwork for future success.

The 2011 offseason became a turning point in the Heat's transformation. James and Wade had in-depth exchanges and decided to adjust their respective game styles. Wade took the initiative to give up part of the ball and was willing to be the second in command; James promised to improve his low-post skills and key ball skills. This selfless spirit of sacrifice is rare in professional sports, but it has become the cornerstone of the Heat's later success. In the 2011-12 season, the Heat showed unprecedented dominance. James averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists per game, Wade contributed 22.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists. The two led the team to advance into the playoffs with a shrinking season record of 46 wins and 20 losses.

The Eastern Conference Finals vs. Celtics became a key battle to test the quality of the "Jan-WaiTeam". Under the desperate situation of falling behind 2-3, James played one of his career's greatest performances in G6 - 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, dragging the series into a tiebreak. In the decisive battle, Wade contributed 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The two worked together to defeat their old rival Celtics, paving the way for the Heat to win the championship. In the finals, facing the young Thunder Three Young Masters, the Heat easily won 4-1. James finally won the first championship trophy of his career and was elected as the MVP of the Finals without any suspense.

2012-13 season, "Jan Wei's connection" reached its peak state. During the regular season, the two led the Heat to win 27 consecutive games, setting the second longest winning streak in NBA history. James averaged 26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 56.5%. Although Wade's condition has declined due to a knee injury, he can still contribute 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists. In the playoffs, the Heat passed the game and staged a classic showdown with the Spurs in the finals. In the last moment of the critical G6, the Heat were 3 points behind. After James missed a key three-pointer, Bosh grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed it to Ray Allen in the corner, who hit a tied three-pointer to drag the game into overtime. Behind this moment that is known as the "greatest shot in history" is the tenacious struggle between James and Wade throughout the game - James scored a triple-double with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and Wade contributed 23 points and 10 rebounds. In overtime, Wade's key steals and James' stable free throw helped the Heat secure the victory and dragged the series into tiebreak. In the decisive battle, James scored 37 points and 12 rebounds alone, Wade contributed 23 points and 10 rebounds, and the Heat successfully defended the championship. This championship not only proves the dominance of the "Jan Wei combination", but also shows the deep friendship between the two of them trust each other and overcome difficulties under pressure. James won the regular season MVP and the finals MVP for the second consecutive year, while Wade used his actions to explain what a true team spirit is.

In the 2013-14 season, Wade's knee injury became increasingly serious and his condition declined significantly. But even so, he can still stand up at a critical moment. In the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, Wade scored 21 points and 9 rebounds in G6 to help the team advance to the finals. Although the Heat lost to the Spurs 1-4 and missed the three consecutive championships, the brilliant achievements of James and Wade in four years and winning the finals and winning the two championships were enough to be recorded in the history of the NBA.

In the summer of 2014, James decided to return to the Cavaliers, announcing the end of the "Janeway Era". Although the collaboration has only been four years, the legend created by James and Wade will be remembered forever. To James, Wade is not only a right-hand man on the court, but also a spiritual pillar and a close friend in life. As James later recalled: "Without Dwyne, there would be no me now. He taught me how to become a real champion. "

From a technical perspective, Wade's off-ball running and defensive ability perfectly made up for James' shortcomings; from a spiritual perspective, Wade's sacrifice and leadership art profoundly influenced James. The tacit cooperation between the two during the Heat, especially those breathtaking fast break links, has become one of the most classic duo performances in NBA history. According to statistics, during the four seasons of cooperation, James and Wade were on the court at the same time, the Heat's net-beating scored more than 1,000 points, which is enough to prove their dominance.

Looking back at this legendary cooperation, we can better understand the profound meaning of "one hero and three helpers". Although James is a once-in-a-century basketball genius, if it weren't for Wade's superstar who is willing to be a green leaf, his career might have been a different story. As the old Chinese saying goes: "A single tree cannot make a forest, and a single thread cannot make a line." In the peak showdown of competitive sports, the strength of the team is always greater than that of the individual, and the story of James and Wade is the best interpretation of this truth.
