NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 153 Establishing the First Core
some people.

At least there is a farewell.

some people.

Without even saying goodbye, it just disappeared from your world.

Lord Luoer Deng, when he left, he completely disappeared without even saying hello.

It's sad to be true.

but.

Xue Liancheng won't be sad for long, after all, he has only been together for three months, and he still robs him of the ball, he really can't be sad.

The next day.

Xue Liancheng came to the arena early as usual to exercise in the equipment room.

When he came down, seeing these teammates, he returned to his usual innocent smile. He didn't look like he was going to die in the execution ground yesterday!

In the crowd, he saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Familiar because I have often seen it on TV before.

strangeness?

It was because the two met him for the first time, er...it should be the second time, they had already met when they were guests in Phoenix last time.

That's right!

The two are the newcomers who came to the team to report, PJ Tucker and Marcus Morris.

It came so fast!

Just closed the deal yesterday and it's coming today.

However, it also shows from the side that the attitude of the two is correct, and they have a positive attitude towards joining the Heat.

Can you not be positive?
The deal has been reached. After the physical examination, they are the players of the Heat, so they can't show their loyalty to the new owner?

and also.

The Heat are a championship team, with the Big Three, strong strength, and a very, very high exposure rate. After they come here, as long as they play well, they can quickly accumulate fame and be known to the public soon.

This is what the Phoenix Suns do not have.

Playing on a team with no superstars, no buzz, and no playoff caliber, who the hell cares about you?

The Heat are different, full of topics, LeBron and Miami's love and killing each other is enough to attract people's attention, and Wade, Bosh, and supernova Xue Liancheng are three popular top stars who are the most star-flavored in the NBA one of the teams.

Coupled with the momentum accumulated from the two championships in four years, they have made great strides this season. They are recognized by the public as a championship team, and the attention is almost full.

As role players, they are not as ambitious as Luol Deng. They clearly know that they came to Miami to assist the Big Three to complete their dominance.

And once they really reach the top, they can get a ring for nothing and become a champion member. Isn't this the dream pursuit of every player after entering the league?
And if.

They can perform well in the championship and give a brilliant performance, so wouldn't the big contract follow?

It can be described as a double gain of fame and fortune.

and so.

When they learned that they were traded to Miami, instead of being too sad, they packed up their bags excitedly and flew over non-stop.

This is the reason why good birds choose trees to live in.

Marcus Morris was the first to spot Xue Liancheng, and quickly greeted him, "Hi, Xue!"

talking.

He trotted over and hugged Xue Liancheng.

PJ-Tucker followed closely behind, but he was much more reserved. He just clapped hands with Xue Liancheng, "Xue, nice to meet you."

After all, he has been wandering overseas for many years, and his personality is not as arrogant as when he was young.

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "Welcome everyone to join, I'm already looking forward to the next game."

Marcus Morris quickly assured, his chest was pounding, "We will never let you down."

There is no problem with these words, but the problem is that the object of loyalty is wrong.

When you first come to a new team, you have to show your loyalty to the team boss, not the third.

Look at Wade next to him...uh!It's not too embarrassing, just laughing there.

On the other hand, Bosh on the other side looked a little unhappy...

Xue Liancheng quickly changed the subject, "I believe you will not be disappointed with the beaches in Miami."

After saying hello, they exchanged pleasantries for a while.

A few people became a little more acquainted.

Soon.

Si Bo came out and solemnly introduced the two of them to everyone.

Then start fighting in groups.

Now that new teammates are here, the most important thing is to adjust the lineup and let everyone be familiar with each other's technical characteristics and style of play.

And the most important point is to match the starter.

Spoelstra obviously did a lot of work. After the players were assembled, he began to call the team, "point guard Xue Liancheng, shooting guard Wade, small forward PJ-Tucker, power forward Bosh, center Whiteside, the five of you Red team."

That's right.

That's the starting lineup Spoelstra wanted.

PJ Tucker replaced Luol Deng, and Whiteside replaced Anderson.

There are the Big Three on the offensive end, Whiteside on the defensive end, and PJ-Tucker on the outside.

On paper, this lineup is extremely powerful, and it is more reasonable to put it in the present...or the era that is pushed forward.

There is no question about that.

But the small ball storm is coming soon. If he insists on such a lineup and lets Whiteside stick to the basket, Xue Liancheng seriously doubts that he will be trained by the Warriors to death.

Not an ideal match, at least in the playoffs.

In his opinion.

Or... Take the offense to the extreme, let Whiteside make a fake start, play about 10 minutes a game, like the Warriors this season, invincible.

After all, Whiteside has no three-point ability. If he goes down, neither he nor Whiteside are fast enough, which greatly reduces their pick-and-roll power.

This is the key point.

If he has LeBron's rushing speed, it's not a problem.

Or Whiteside has Capela's keen sense of downhill and super fast movement speed, that's not a problem.

The problem is...neither of them are capable of that.

and so.

The false starter is Whiteside's final destination. When it is necessary to stand up or protect the basket, let Whiteside play its due role.

Or... build the defense into an iron wall and go back to the muscle-pounding basketball of the retro era.

But the latter cannot be achieved, because he and Bo Erye seriously lowered the overall defensive level.

Look at it this way.

Extreme offense is their way out, and it is Xue Liancheng's favorite game rhythm.

A centered player like Spoelstra seems to have both offense and defense, but in fact, he cannot attack and defend. In the coming small ball era, he will suffer a lot.

These thoughts only circled in his mind, but he didn't bring them up.

of course.

Even if it was brought up, there was a high probability that Sipo would not believe it.

Extreme five?

Don't be defensive?

Three points can also win the championship?
Are you kidding me...

How could a rational person like Sipo believe such nonsense?

But such a nonsense thing has finally become a reality.

The three-point team can really win the championship.

Suicide-style five little ones can actually kill each other.

This was something that was unimaginable before.

It can be said that the Warriors' championship directly broke the cognition of "the closer to the basket, the easier it is to win the game".

The iron law of defense winning the championship also collapsed.

None of the above is actually the point.

The point is, when he puts it this way, everyone will think that he is utilitarian, caring about his own game rhythm, and ignoring the lives of others.

Too selfish, right?
In order not to become a selfish person despised by everyone, he decided to keep silent.

Anyway, let's kill my big Zhan Huang first.

others.

all other...

Spoelstra's voice came again, "The blue team is led by Chalmers, Shannon Brown, Ennis, Marcus Morris, and Haslem. You play more pick-and-roll tactics, and the others are free to play first."

Pause.

Sipo called everyone over: "Come here, let me talk about the future tactical direction first."

Xue Liancheng and his group hurried over and formed a group.

"First of all, I want to clarify our general tactical arrangements for the future."

"First, switch fast breaks. After you protect the backcourt rebounds, pass the ball to Xue immediately. Remember, you must pass the ball to Xue immediately. Just return to the court quickly, just wait for Xue’s pass, and the others advance as fast as possible, remember to delay the cover, and always pay attention to the situation on the court.”

"Second, if you fall into a positional battle, give the ball to Xue first. Whether it is a pick-and-roll or a strong attack, whether it is a move or a single, let Xue choose the timing. Xue will make gestures according to the situation on the scene, and you, just need Wait for Xue's gesture, and cooperate according to the instruction."

"Third, if Xue doesn't initiate an attack, let Dwayne hold the ball, and Xue will do this. Everyone should not only pay attention to Dwayne's movements and be ready to catch the ball at any time, but also pay attention to Xue's running position at all times, because Xue After receiving the ball, if someone runs out of chance, it will be passed to you as soon as possible.”

"Fourth, Chris, you will go to the flanks on both sides to play low singles in the future, and give up space at the top of the arc for Xue to move."

"In the future, we will build a tactical system around Xue Lai."

"As for the subdivision tactics, I have already formulated them. I will practice them one by one today. First, I will run in the tacit understanding and let the new teammates integrate into us."

Spoel explained one by one how to implement the general direction tactics in the future.

But the voice has not yet fallen.

Everyone was shocked, as if they had heard something earth-shattering, and they were stunned on the spot.

Is this... a signal to establish Xue Liancheng as the first core?
wrong……

Not a signal.

Instead, it is clearly stated that Xue Liancheng will execute the team's offense from now on.

"In the future, we will build a tactical system around Xue Lai" is equivalent to announcing that Xue Liancheng is the head of the Heat.

This news.

Just don't be too explosive.

Like a thunderbolt, everyone was in a trance.

A rookie who only played more than 20 games, from this moment on, overwhelmed superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and became the real tactical core of the Heat.

What an incredible thing this is!

To know……

The current Heat are the favorites to win the championship!
With a rookie as the core and two top stars as the supplement, they launched an impact on the championship.

For a moment.

Some even thought Spoelstra was crazy.

Even Xue Liancheng, the person involved, was dumbfounded at this moment.

He never thought that he would take over the scepter of the team boss so quickly.

In his heart, he was always thinking that after Uncle Wei degenerated completely, he would naturally and logically take the position of team leader.

All after two years.

result.

The season is not even half over yet, and here we go.

Tell the truth.

He wasn't even mentally prepared.

Completely confused him.

At this moment, Si Bo suddenly turned his head and looked at Xue Liancheng, "Xue, do you have anything to add?"

Xue Liancheng opened his mouth and shook his head slowly, "No..."

If everyone still had doubts before, then Spoelstra's question now is tantamount to completely confirming Xue Liancheng's status as the team leader.

Although in fact, Xue Liancheng's tactical status has actually surpassed the two top stars Wade and Bosh in general, but it has not been made public.

Without poking the window paper, there will be no recognition in name.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, and still regarded Wade as the team's leader, and Bosh as the second choice.

It's like playing magic.

According to the normal tactics, Xue Liancheng initiated the attack with the ball, but before playing tactical coordination, Xue Liancheng also had to make way for Wade and Bosh.

When Bosh asked for the ball, Xue Liancheng had to give it.

Because in name he is a mistress...uh!It should be the third child.

He is the third choice. There are two big brothers in front of the team. When they want the ball, he has to pass it.

Not only to pass, but also to cooperate with the big brothers to play tactics, do running and covering.

This is an unwritten rule. Everyone didn't say it, but they all understand that this rule can effectively maintain the unity among teammates and prevent them from doing stupid things that go beyond.

For example, Nick Young had a famous scene where he didn't pass the ball to the iron shell at the last moment, but made a shot himself. Although he made the shot, it still caused an uproar after the game, which is why.

This guy is challenging the authority of the team boss!

and so……

Not long after, I, Nick Young, was rejected by his teammates, and eventually lost his job. You don't follow the rules!

Who wants to play with you?Who dares to ask you again?

And starting today.

Everything has changed.

Everyone has to make concessions for Xue Liancheng, everything is based on Xue Liancheng, even... everyone's running and covering are all for Xue Liancheng to perform better.

This is the affirmation of both nominal and actual status. He is the team's first choice, the real team's first core.

Also known as the boss of the team.

at this time.

After everyone reacted, everyone's eyes almost all fell on Dwyane Wade.

This is the handover of Chi Guoguo's scepter, and they naturally want to see the reaction of the former boss.

result.

Wade just smiled and said, "I am very surprised by Xue's vision and ability to read the game. His passing can make his teammates better and the team's offense smoother. He has such a leadership quality, and I believe he can lead the team to the finals and win the championship."

This time.

Everyone was completely stunned.

And the most confused person is Chris Bosh.

He looked at the good brother in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, and was speechless for a long time.

Willingly give up his position as the boss?
How unbelievable!

As the saying goes, if you don't want to be a general's soldier, you are not a good soldier.

How many players, in order to compete for the team leader's throne, are full of conflicts and make troubles.

And Wade, actually don't care?

This really nearly took his eyeballs out of shock.

But he didn't speak, just lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking...

Xue Liancheng continued jokingly: "Devine, thank you for your trust. I will try my best to make myself as good as you said."

These words can be regarded as a joke, or as a complete completion of the handover of the team.

And everyone is still immersed in shock.

Only Xue Liancheng roughly understood something.

In fact, everything has precursors.

At the very beginning, facing the Raptors double-teaming, the new tactic proposed by Xue Liancheng was accepted by Spoelstra. It was this new tactic that established his position as the third core.

That's when the seeds were planted.

As his performance got better and better, and his performance became more and more outstanding, the team also won many battles, invincible, showing the ferocious face of the championship.

Spoelstra has gradually realized that he is the most important person on the team.

Then in the game against the Cavaliers, when he proposed the elevator door tactic, Spoelstra asked his opinion on the tactic on the spot and asked him if he had anything to add.

This kind of treatment only for the boss of the team is to test Wade blatantly.

At that time, Wade did not respond, and acquiesced to this.

It can be seen that Spoelstra wanted to push him to the position of the first core at that time, but he didn't say it out.

after that.

Uncle Wei seemed to understand Si Bo's express, and took the initiative to invite him to his home for Christmas. In fact, the handover of the scepter had already been completed at that time.

Uncle Wei asked him about the future of the team, changes in the lineup, what players need to be added, etc., he was throwing an olive branch.

and so.

PJ-Tucker will appear on the trade list.

Because... this is the person Xue Liancheng named and needed.

Bringing PJ-Tucker in has already confirmed that the team will build a lineup around him, Xue Liancheng, and it also shows that Uncle Wei is willing to abdicate to make way for the virtuous.

Including the arrival of Marcus Morris and Batum, it was also tailor-made for him.

Has three points, has defense, can open up space, and also has mobility.

The three of them are not only prepared for James, but also the best teammates for him.

and so.

After the dust of the trade settled, Spoelstrom took advantage of the situation and pushed him to the position of team leader.

Although it is a bit abrupt, everything is logical.

Because there is not much time left for the Heat, they must complete the handover of the scepter as soon as possible, and then let go of their hands and feet to polish the lineup, and then welcome the playoffs.

There……

This is the ultimate battlefield for the Heat.

As for why Uncle Wei was so relaxed and willingly handed over the boss of the team, he didn't know.

Maybe Uncle Wei has unspeakable emotions for the Heat. His performance has proved enough that he is the future of the team. If he is handed in sooner or later, he has to be handed in sooner or later, so it is better to train him as the boss now.

Maybe Uncle Wei is such a selfless person in the first place, just like after losing in the finals of the 10-11 season, Uncle Wei gave way to James without hesitation, and only then did he have the next two championships.

Maybe……

As Uncle Wei said, do you really believe that he can lead the team to the finals again and win the championship?
do not know……

Anyway, he was so confused, he became the first core of this team.
