Chapter 685: Embarrassing Heat
The New York media now treats the Nets as if they were the home team for the most part, just like the Lakers and Clippers in previous years.
Under New York's well-developed media industry, every flaw and controversy in any player who plays in the city will be infinitely magnified, which is why there are so many players who play in New York and are doomed.
But when the foreign enemy comes, the challenger suffers the same thing, and at this time, the New York media will poke their evil pen on the opponent.
The Miami Big Three has not played the last game, but it has been targeted by the New York media, and in the past few days, New York has regarded Miami as the object of ridicule and ridicule from fans to the media, and the majority of fans are most willing to see these so-called geniuses suffer defeat.
Hate the rich and hate the successful, this is not the patent of the Chinese, the whole world is the same, those who are better than me, it is better to be unlucky, this is the idea of many people.
"If you guys really think we can go 82-0, then I'm sorry, all I can tell you is that it's impossible." Dwyan. Wade said this at a press conference.
Immediately, a New York reporter stood up and asked, but instead of asking Wade, he said, "Hey, Dwyan, none of us expects you to win all 82 regular season games, but at least, the Heat should have a gorgeous performance in the game, at least in the top four in the East, don't you say?" โ
Wade choked enough, and the Flash found such a question boring, so he stopped talking.
Then, another reporter also asked James a very pointed question, asking: "Do you think Fox is doing a good job of defending you, we saw that you had big trouble in the Finals last year." If you agree with this point of view. Can you tell me why this is happening? โ
For this tricky question. James did not choose to be silent like Wade, but said without showing weakness: "In the finals last season, the Clippers defended me by team strength, if the Clippers used one-on-one defense against me, no matter who I did, no one in this league can use individual defense to limit me." โ
The New York reporter didn't expect that James would react so much when he mentioned the dead fox. The gorilla was still unsatisfied, and said: "Yes, I don't think anyone in this league can defend me one-on-one, when I have the ball, there is always someone who defends me, and he is one of the players who defends me, but no one can block me one-on-one." โ
The Big Three of the Hot Team were all breathless in the face of tricky questions from New York reporters at the pre-game press conference.
These New York reporters have nothing to say, and they almost didn't mention "the emperor", "venereal disease", "father" or something......
But the problem in front of the heat team is not the nasty media. Rather, it's a more realistic trouble.
After five games in the regular season, the Heat team except for the Big Three. No player has averaged more than 10 points per game. Especially in the last game, except for the Big Three, the other players of the Heat team combined for scoring almost less than double digits, which was too embarrassing.
In the last game, the Heat defeated the Wizards 102-95, LeBron. James scored a season-high 39 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and had eight assists. Dwayne. Wade had 33 points, eight rebounds and five assists, and Chris had 33 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Bosh had 18 points and eight rebounds.
It's easy to calculate, the Big Three teamed up to score 90 points, but they only scored a total of 102 points, which means that the rest of the Hot team only scored 12 points, and even if the Big Three won such a game, it was difficult to hide the "embarrassment" of their teammates.
Nowadays, the Heat can only be described in one word in terms of division of labor and cooperation: chaos!
James and Wade are both good at impacting the basket, and the two charge inside together, and Bosh, who is mainly on the inside, has become an ornament, and the Dragons have to pull to the outside to continue to shoot from the middle and long range, which can be seen from the number of jump shots that account for 74% of Bosh's offensive means this season. And staying away from the basket means not grabbing rebounds, and both Wade and James have increased their rebounding numbers this season, naturally because Bosh can't grab rebounds in the frontcourt.
This season, it can be clearly seen that the Heat team's offense is often launched by James with the ball from the backcourt, which leads to the small emperor's average assists per game still ranking first in the team with 7 times, while the real point guard can't get the ball for a lot of time, and the scoring guard Wade has to compete with small forward James for the ball, which is still a chaotic situation.
It's no secret that both LeBron and the Flash are players who need a lot of ball-handling, but who is the ball in their hands? This is another problem. And a lot of the inside scoring and rebounding that should have been completed by Bosh were controlled by James and Wade. Such a chaotic division of labor allows the Heat to cut and brush the data as much as they like when they encounter a weak team. But when they meet strong teams, they seem to be unable to play everywhere.
Ji Guoyi, who is far away in Los Angeles, has nothing to do with him in this game, but this guy swiped his sense of existence before the game and shamelessly said to reporters: "Many people ask me, why do you know that so many teams have to form a Big Three, and they have to separate from the pandas?" The question is simple, and that's because I know they won't succeed. If you don't believe it, any successful team in history needs a boss who can hold the locker room and a core on the pitch. "I'm the core, he's the boss of the locker room, so we're going to make it and they're not." โ
Of course, the Big Three won't take care of the dead foxes who are far away in the sky, not to mention that they have too many things to worry about, there are no available people in several positions on the team, and sometimes it can't be all thanks to the Big Three scoring more, and the Heat really has no one to take a shot except for the Big Three.
In the center position, the current main center of the Heat team is the big Z who retired last year and was forcibly dragged by James this year, and the substitute is Haslem, one of these two is tall and stupid, and the other is short and thin, and it is almost the same to say that they are the worst No. 5 combination in the league.
At the power forward position, Bosh did not have a qualified substitute. Anthony has long been snatched by the Clippers, so the Heat team can only get Howard, that is, Uncle Huo to make an emergency, and it can be said that the Heat's No. 4 bench is almost the worst in the league.
Now Pat Riley regrets not leaving Joel behind. Anthony, they don't lack an inside line who can score now, what they lack is a blue-collar who can do the dirty work.
On the second and third positions. The Heat despite having Wade and James. It looks like there's no problem. But in reality they still don't have a qualified replacement.
James' hand-picked Mike. Miller was injured in the preseason and won't be back until at least the second half of the season. Maddy, who the Heat have been chasing, was also cut off by the Clippers, and they only had James before the All-Star break. Jones, a swingman who can only shoot threes.
Pat. Riley had no choice but to get Starker House, who had slipped to the bottom, for an emergency, and as a result, the master handed over a 25% shooting rate in five games, and the current Heat actually did not have a qualified second or third position and interior substitutes at all, and they had too many problems.
In the home team's locker room, the Zen master's combat policy is to attack the inside line and the No. 1 position of the hot team!
The Heat's interior defense is terrible. It's not news, they've lost three games from the inside.
But the No. 1 position of the Heat team is actually not very good, and Chanmos is reluctant to do it, and he can be regarded as capable of playing the role of the main point guard, but the shooting of this second-round show has been unstable, the offensive end is not a high threat, and the defensive end will also look very difficult to face a fast opponent.
Nash has no problem blowing up money on the offensive end, and the latter's bench is not very good, and Arroyo is a good B in the international arena. In the '04 Olympics, he single-handedly defeated Iverson, Duncan, and the U.S. team led by the '03 generation.
But these are old things. Arroyo is about to lose his game in the NBA, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.
If the Nets can break the interior and No. 1 position of the Hot team today, it will not be easy to lose this game.
As for the Heat team, they can only hope that their Big Three can score 100 points, and it is best to get 30+ points for all of them, otherwise it will be difficult to win the game by counting on the old guys like Big Z, Second Uncle Huo, Stackhouse, and Arroyo that no one wants.
On November 7, the game between the Nets and the Heat was scheduled for 20:30 p.m., and such a focus battle was naturally broadcast live across the United States. In addition to Miami fans and fans of James and Wade, other fans now want to see how the Heat will die and how many games will the East Coast Big Three lose this season?
The more the Heat lose, the more these fans feel happy.
After the players of both teams came out, James had a cold face, and he could see that the gorilla was in a bad mood. But no matter what the team's record is, no matter whether the mood is beautiful or not, James's entrance ceremony will not change, and he still walked to the technical table before the game and sprinkled magnesium powder into the air amid the taunts of Nets fans.
Before the start of the game, the little emperor and the panda brother exchanged a few polite words, although he had a bad relationship with the dead fox, but the relationship with the giant panda has always been good. Originally, James also had plans to go to the Nets to join forces with the Giant Panda, but he had just lost to the Animal Brothers, and he turned his head to hug Ji Guoqiu's thighs, which made him psychologically unbearable and would make him feel inferior to the Panda Brothers.
In the end, it's still a matter of face, James still thinks that he is the first person in the league, even if he wants to team up with other superstars, he must dominate, not become the second leader, otherwise James's sponsors will not agree.
The Heat's starting lineup made some changes today, Big Z proved unable to defend the super-mobile animal brothers last year, Spoelstra changed the 203cm Haslem to the starting lineup, but let him play the No. 4 position, and Bosh played the starting center today.
Miami Heat's starting lineup: Money, Wade, James, Haslem, Bosh.
The Nets' starters have also been adjusted, in order to defend Flash Wade and the little emperor James, the Zen master after careful consideration, and then put Tony . Allen moved to the starting lineup, and the Nets' starting five today were: Nash, Toney. Allen, Matthews, Ji Guoqiu, Lรณpez.
"Wesley, you're going to stick to LeBron and keep him away from the basket. Others are always ready to help defend and force him to shoot outside for jumpers. "The Zen master's arrangement is similar to that in the Clippers Finals, he uses Matthews, who is only 196cm tall, to defend James, in addition to the former's good strength, but also to value his pace to be able to keep up with James.
Close defense is most afraid of being overstepped, and Korver's pace is not fast enough, and he will definitely not be able to guard against James. Tony. Aaron was not strong enough, Paul. George is too young, and the Nets have only been able to defend James this season.
Ji Guoqiu felt that such an arrangement was no problem at all, it turned out that in time and space, Maverick's Stevenson was well defended. Matthews' stature and body type are similar to Stevenson's. The defensive ability is still above the latter. As long as the Nets' interior defense can keep up. They were completely able to restrain James, and Ji Guoqiu naturally didn't think that he would do worse than Chandler.
The Nets secretly have a few killer moves to deal with James, but they will definitely not be used in the regular season, if they face the Heat in the playoffs, the Nets will use Nash and Jeremy Lin at critical moments in the game to defend James, Ji Guoqiu feels that the effect is definitely better than Barria.
"We can give him a chance to go back, and if James uses his back, you don't need to pack." The final arrangement of the Zen master. Still looking down on the gorilla's ability to carry his back. Don't look at the little fox, you can practice your back if you want to, but it is difficult for James to practice his back body ability like Ji Guozhi in one summer.
The Heat have had a bad start to the year, and it has a lot to do with the Clippers, whose routine against James last year has now become a ready-made teaching material for teams. As long as the team has a swingman who can hold James head-on, plus an interior gate with excellent defense, it can cause a lot of trouble for the Gorilla's charge.
Last year, the Clippers used Ji Guosha and Barnes to face toughness, others assisted in defense, and Brother Panda sat in the restricted area. Such a formation swings to that side, as long as James bursts out. The Clippers shrank their defense, cutting off the line of contact between him and his teammates.
It will take a lot of effort for James to get past Ji Guosha or Barnes. When it comes to giant pandas, it's often overwhelmed.
The Zen master is ready to block James today, and the Heat will fall into the same predicament as the Cavaliers faced the Clippers last year as long as they let the little emperor hold the ball and launch an offense.
Of course, unlike last year's Cavaliers, the Heat also have Wade as an offensive initiator.
The Nets' response was to use Tony. Allen comes to defend one, and if the Heat transfer the ball to the Flash, Tony. How far Aaron can defend will directly determine the outcome of the game.
Tony. When Aaron heard about the role he played, he immediately felt high! He is now not afraid of the difficulty of the task given to him by the team, and he is afraid that he is like in Celtic, and there is no place for him to have empty strength. Today's single-defense against a superstar like Wade, against Tony. For Aaron, it's the best time to prove himself.
The Zen master is well aware of Tony. In Aaron's heart, this kind of small trick to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players has long been at his fingertips.
The Nets players are on their way to the court, and the game is about to begin.
The Zen master turned his head to look at Pat, who was sitting in the audience with a combed head. Riley, secretly sneering in his heart.
The Nets' lineup this year can be said to be completely designed to deal with a giant team like the Heat.
Matthews and Tony. Allen is his weapon specially used to deal with Wade and James, and these two can not only deal with the Heat, but also against the Bulls and Knicks.
Jeff. Van Gundy is still the commentator for ABC Radio, Bosh is preparing to fight with Ji Guo, the result should be no suspense, the big bald man turned to this year's salary cap, said: "Last year, the NBA signed a 12 billion broadcast contract, and the salary cap for the NBA2010-2011 season has increased significantly, and this season will reach: $62.55 million." This figure also set an all-time high for the salary cap, an 11% increase from last year, so the space for these big teams is not as awkward as everyone thinks. Just like the Heat, the Big Three occupy $50 million of the team's space, but they still have 12 million space to use for reinforcements, and secondly, they can also use the veteran's base salary to invite veterans like Big Z. โ
Mark. Jackson said: "The increase in the salary cap has also increased the value of players, but this year seems to have fallen into a strange phenomenon, the value of young players such as Guy and David Lee is generally inflated, but the Animal Brothers, James, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant, etc., these supergiants have sacrificed their wages in an environment where the value of players has risen, which shows that these players have more desire for glory than money." I think it's a good thing, it's understandable that young players want to make money, and the superstars who make enough money are sacrificing money for honour, and I think it's a back-to-basics phenomenon. โ
Ji Guoqiu defeated Bosh on the jump ball at the moment, the gap is not big, the dragon king's jump ball is also good, the reaction is very fast, and the bounce speed is also very good, but unfortunately the arm span falls to the downwind, and the giant panda once again won the jump ball.
Nets fans remembered a burst of cheers, waving various posters of Ji Guoqiu, and the atmosphere at home was very warm.
This year's New Jersey fans feel like they are the happiest fans in the league, with the Pandas becoming the team's behind-the-scenes owners, the Zen Master becoming the team's coach and manager, and the Nets going from being the league's worst to a serious contender for the championship.
Now that the Nets are playing well and the team is having a good record, it is as if a summer has passed and all the happy things have fallen on their heads.
By the 2013-14 season at the latest, the Nets will move to Brooklyn, New York, reminiscent of Seattle a few years ago, a city that now can't forgive the defection of the SuperSonics, now the Thunder.
However, Nets fans feel that it doesn't matter, and the majority of fans support the team's new court.
Although their team is called the New Jersey Nets, the stadium is located in East Rutherford, which is a small village in New Jersey, and there is basically only one "Continental Airlines Center Stadium" in the whole town.
Every time they play, Nets fans have to drive half an hour to get to the arena. After moving to Brooklyn, they were even closer to the new arena, so they naturally raised their hands in favor. (To be continued......)
