0156: [Are you better than me]
The American Airlines Center in Miami on Nov. 16 reached nearly 80 percent attendance, which was almost the highest regular season attendance in three seasons.
And the root cause of this data is, of course, Snoopydu. Look at the tall portraits of Taylor Swift and Miley Sellers in the arena. At least fifteen hundred DM and DT parties slipped into the arena.
Heat owner Mitch Ellison was smiling in the VIP box, and sitting next to him was his most trusted club at the helm of Pat Riley. In order to get Pat Riley, Mitch Ellison spent a lot of twists and turns. Interestingly, the price he paid for the comeback of the predator from New York was exactly the same as the price he paid for Snoopydu this year: a top-five protected lottery and a check for a million dollars.
It was probably the best deal the NBA has ever made: a draft pick and cash trade to a rival head coach.
But there's no denying that the deal was the biggest success the Heat ever. Not only did they become a powerhouse, but they also won the championship in a series of dazzling operations. And judging from the current situation, the Heat still have the possibility of a rapid rise, their salary space is gradually being cleared, and there are more and more potential rookies in their hands. And, Dwyanwade is officially at the peak of his career.
"Pat, I have to say. Anyone who traded cash and a first-round pick for it always fits the Miami Heat. ”
Ellison stood up and walked over to the glass wall, where players from both sides were warming up for the upcoming game. And directly opposite is a huge portrait of Taylor Swift, and across the distance from Taylor Swift is Miley Sellers.
"This year, we're going to have a 30 percent increase in ticket revenue compared to last year, along with the Chinese sponsorship at the venue and the growing number of Chinese tourists visiting Miami...... We get more than we give. ”
The Ellison family owns the largest number of cruise ships on the entire South Coast, and 70 percent of people who visit the city choose to experience Miami on a cruise.
Pat Riley nodded. From a business point of view, Snoopy was the most appropriate choice.
"Actually, in terms of basketball, we're probably going to get more." Pat Riley told the owner: "He has the potential to be the most important assistant next to Dwyane Wade, like Scott Pippen next to Michael Jordan." ”
Mitch Ellison was a little surprised, he frowned and said, "Isn't it Dennis Rodman?" ”
Pat Riley thought for a moment and replied, "It's Dennis Rodman who only gets in the position and doesn't grab rebounds right now, but the future prospect is Scott Pippen." ”
"Oh!"
Mitch Ellison nodded, fully confident in Pat Riley's professional abilities.
"If Snoopy can play the game I expected in this game, I will trade Shaun Marion after the All-Star break."
Pat Riley tells Mitch Ellison about his plans.
Ellison was a little surprised, Sean Marion is the team's strongest player other than Dwyane Wade, with a high 81 ability in NBALIVE2008 games, he is the most important wing defender in Miami, and he is also the best off-ball attacker in Miami.
But despite this, Ellison only hesitated for less than 5 seconds: "OK, I'll leave it to you." ”
Working together over the years, he trusted Pat Riley 100 percent.
Even if one day Pat Riley suddenly knocked on his office and told him that I wanted to trade Dwyane Wade. Most of the answers we've gotten are: YES, go ahead and do it.
……
Backbite!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The starting lineup for tonight is Snoopydu, Shaun Marion, Dorrell Wright, Dwyane Wade and Chris Quinn.
The Atlanta Hawks are: Al Horford, Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby.
When Snubi and Elkhovd were at opposite ends of the halfway line.
Horford couldn't help but grin as the small center who was born in the No. 4 position and is now rooted in the No. 5 position finally has the ability to look down at his opponent.
Horford is officially 208 tall, but his barefoot height may only be 2.06 meters or even lower, after all, the height of black players is the same as that of Chinese players, and they are always fluctuating.
"You look even shorter than I thought you would."
Horford teased Dugg.
Dugg glanced at him, there was no malice on his face, and he didn't look like one of those high-flying players.
"You're not as tall as I thought."
Dugg replied calmly.
The two then looked at each other and smiled, at which point the referee threw the basketball into the air.
The two jumped almost at the same time, and although Horford had Horace Grant's name on last year's draft template, he was weaker than Snoopy in terms of bounce speed alone.
Syllable!
Dugg led by half a palm, slapped the basketball to Chris Quinn.
Once you've landed, move fast.
Horford chased after him, and Dugg eventually stopped at the free-throw line.
This is also the case with Horford being the range of activities.
After Chris Quinn brought the ball to the frontcourt, it was a little difficult to defend with Mike Bibby, and he had to quickly hand the basketball to Sean Marion on one side.
Sean Marion got the ball, glanced at it, and flicked his wrist. The basketball went straight to the corner, and UNLV helped his close partner, Dorrell Wright, get the basketball. Immediately made a quick move...... Unfortunately, at the same time as he made his shot, the athletic Josh Smith rushed up, and although he didn't have a block, he interfered with him and threw an air balloon.
Marvin Williams under the basket gets the basketball.
The Heat's first offense came to naught.
Back in the half, Joe Johnson singled Dwyane Wade with the ball and completed the scoring with a step-back jumper.
Dwyane Wade then responded by scoring a foul on Marvin Williams under the basket.
The two sides come and go.
Atalanta started the game with Joe Johnson, who had a certain height advantage and tried to open up the situation from the No. 2 position.
On the Heat's side, it is still Dwyane Wade and Shaun Marion singing as a duo.
Wade is a bit anxious to share the feelings with Joe Johnson, who recently ranked second among the top five scoring guards on the active roster, and Joe Johnson squeezed to fourth, both of whom have the intention of suppressing their opponents.
And once the basketball was passed to Sean Marion, he either broke through Marvin Williams' defense in a straight line or passed the ball to Dorrell Wright, and the two formed a close alliance.
As a result, the Heat's No. 1 and No. 5 positions have all become decorations.
For six minutes in a row, except for 2 rebounds, I didn't even touch the basketball.
Pat Riley gritted his teeth and was very angry, and the owner next to him, Ellison, shook his head in the fourth minute: Snoopy doesn't seem to have a strong presence.
This sentence does not mean to anyone, though.
But Pat Riley felt like she had been slapped in the face. Obviously in the locker room, he emphasized that Snoopy had to get at least six opportunities to execute his individual tactics in the first quarter. But... Now the result is that he can't even touch a basketball.
Backbite!
At the same time, Spoelstra also stressed on the bench: "Sean, you have to give the ball to Snoopy." ”
"Nope." Marion replied, "I didn't make random passes. I got all the balls right, Dorrell was always in good position, and he had a consistent three-point shooting. No matter how you look at it, I didn't do anything wrong. ”
His remarks left Spoelstra at a loss for words.
It's true that Snoopy, who is at the free-throw line, doesn't have the ability to score directly, and there's no certainty that he will be able to get past Horford's defense. In contrast, it would be more reasonable to give the ball to Wade to break through, or let Dorrell Wright shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.
"No, you're wrong."
Snoopy looked up. He looked directly at Marion: "It's really okay to pass the ball to Dorel, it's more right to let Dwyane break through. But every time you pass the ball is not at the right time. You don't factor in Dorell Wright's shooting rhythm and Josh Smith's running ability, so he's shooting 1-of-5 so far tonight, less than 20 percent. ”
"Who do you think you are?" Sean Marion glared at Snoopy: "Are you better at passing the ball than me?" ”
"Yes."
Du Ge nodded as a matter of course, and then said, "I'll prove it to you next." ”

[There are two more shifts tonight.] 】
