Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 157 The Heat have tanks, not one, not two!
During the home court appearance ceremony, more than 8000 seats at the American Airlines Arena were already filled with fans.

Crazy fans chanted the Heat’s slogan this year over and over again:
Create a new legend!
This is not a city that is crazy about the NBA.

But at this moment, the fanaticism of this city is no less than that of any other city. Even fans of the NBA's wealthy Lakers and Boston Celtics look at this group of Miamians and dare not say that they can be more fanatical than them. !
Of course, one thing is certain. The current madness of the Miami people is just the unlimited imagination brought by the Heat's lineup this season. It can be said without hesitation that as long as the Heat's performance is not as expected, then many of these guys will They will quickly disappear in this arena and never talk about the enthusiasm at this moment.

Such fans have a very unified name:
"Champion Fan"!
But if you really want to say it, this is not a bad name.

The prerequisite for loving and being passionate about it is to be strong!

To give a very simple example, China does not pay as much attention to table tennis as basketball and football, but if it were announced that the monthly salary of these table tennis players is 15 or even 20, no one would think it is expensive.

why?
Because they are worth it!

Even if it’s 50 a month, no one will say anything.

On the contrary, if this price is given to the Chinese Men's Football Team, then if you remove the 0, I'm afraid it will be criticized.

"Champion fans" may not understand what "basketball", "football" or "table tennis" are, but they know what "strong" and "weak" are.

As for competitive sports, I don’t understand this game, but as long as you know that “you should praise when you win” and “you should scold when you lose”, that’s actually enough!

You can't perform so badly that you still need warm encouragement from fans, right?

Is this the adopted biological father, or the daughter-in-law he pursues?
The stronger a person is, the less he cares about the abuse. Only those who are obviously "incompetent in ability" will shout that they are "number one in history" every day!
Moreover, even if the Miami people at the scene are not real fans, their fanatical energy is really...what is the difference between them and die-hard fans?

It was Woody and Kevin Garnett who jumped the ball in the frontcourt.

With his better static talent, the "Wolf King" was the first to touch the ball.

The "alien" in the backcourt carried the ball to the frontcourt like an old man in the park, walked slowly in front of Alston, suddenly accelerated, and completed a breakthrough directly from Alston's left hand side.

The whole movement was crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.

Alston wanted to move laterally in time to block the way, but Cassel had already seized the position. He was one step ahead of the free throw line. He just looked at Woody and then raised his hand to hit the ball.

In the first game of the new season between the two sides, Cassel took the first shot and successfully hit it.

Some players really get better as they get older, and Cassell is one such player.

When the Rockets won the first championship trophy of his career in 94, he was just an addition to the team and could only be regarded as a master of chaos.

But in his 11th year in this league, his rich experience has gradually made his shots more comfortable.

Before Stan Van Gundy got angry, Alston took the initiative to claim the omission.

The main reason was that the leakage was too clean this time. It looked like he had just lifted his trouser leg and the person had already passed in front of him. It smelled like he was slacking off at work.

This situation is what Stan Van Gundy hates to see the most.

Alston, who made a "mistake", dribbled the ball to the front court in a precise manner.

As the most flashy dribbler in the street court, "Jumping Soul" came to the NBA and became the most disciplined player in the league. Except when he gets high, under normal circumstances, he doesn't even do such movements as dribbling with his hips. Do.

Because it doesn't make sense.

The head coach does not allow him to make meaningless actions.

It took him a long time to accept that his most meaningful action was to advance to the frontcourt with the ball and then give the ball to his teammates on the wing.

Wade took the ball in his hands and looked very cautious facing the "Madman" defense on the wing.

As one of the "Three-Headed Monsters" who counterattacked the Timberwolves and became No. [-] in the Western Conference last season, "Madman" also has excellent defensive abilities. What he is best at is using his excellent physical fitness to directly confront.

There is something that few people know. After Michael Jordan retired for the first time, there was a "crowd of heroes" and the first shooting guard to be named "All-Pro" after Michael Jordan was Sprewell.

At this moment, he looked at Wade. To be honest, he wasn't too concerned and was ready to take the initiative.

But just when he reached out and was about to interfere, Wade suddenly changed his direction, which was so large that he was frightened back.

This step is enough to show Wade's explosive power.

So "Madman" immediately stepped forward, ready to play with his best physical skills.

"Bah!"

The forced resistance of the muscles made a dull sound.

Sprewell's expression was even more different because he took a half step back uncomfortably.

In this matter of confrontation, he actually lost...

This should still be a second-year freshman, right?

Fortunately, in the past, he could use his strong physical fitness to remedy situations like this.

Quick sideways movement, but the result is...

Another slow step!
Fortunately, there is Kevin Garnett behind him.

"Wolf King" walked up to him calmly, his eyes fixed on Wade.

left……

Or right?

Kevin Garnett's body moved subconsciously following Wade's dramatic transformation.

But as a result, his entire body had just shifted to the left, and Wade, who was holding the ball in both hands, made a large disguised "European step" and rushed from his right side to the basket.

"Bah!"

Wade's domineering "one over two" completed a one-handed chop.

This wonderful goal made the on-site commentator look furious.It also set the entire arena on fire.

Although they were both 2 points, Wade's goal obviously improved the morale much more than what Cassel just suggested.

This can be seen from the Heat's defensive momentum when the Timberwolves attacked in the next round.The Timberwolves' ball movement is completely forced by the Heat's defensive formation.

"Handsome guy" Szczerbiak successfully caught an opportunity and raised his hand for a three-pointer.The ball path was very straight, but unfortunately there was a "bang" sound.

The basket scrambled into a ball.

The No. 98 pick in [-] wanted to show off his power in front of Shaquille O'Neal, but the moment he made contact, he was crushed.Reluctantly quit the bottom line.

On the other side, Kevin Garnett and Woody also faced off.

Meeting Woody for the first time tonight, Garnett was shocked by his current appearance. At this moment, their first confrontation, Kevin Garnett could even feel Woody's strength and tonnage. improvement.

Last season, Kevin Garnett could easily squeeze away from Woody, but now he can only hold back his blushes and try his best not to let Woody squeeze away.This guy is really strong!

But Kevin Garnett soon discovered that he thought he was trying his best to withstand Woody, but in fact he hadn't exerted his strength yet.

The moment the ball flew out of the basket, an unstoppable force came from his abdomen, pushing him back involuntarily.

He lowered his head and glanced subconsciously. It was Woody's raised butt.so big!

So outstanding!
"Snapped!"

Woody protected the rebound.

The on-site commentator's explanation was even more provocative: "Woody squeezed out last season's regular season MVP!"

Quick counterattack.

Although Shaquille O'Neal was also running desperately, he was still out of touch with the vanguard.

However, the Heat's counterattack does not necessarily require all five players to keep up with the rhythm. In fact, the counterattack momentum of Woody, Gerald Wallace and Wade is enough to defeat the Timberwolves' defense!

The Timberwolves' defensive speed is actually very fast. After all, they were first in the Western Conference last season.

However, with the rapid advancement of these three members of the Heat, even the Timberwolves only had Sprewell and Kevin Garnett retreat quickly enough, and they still had enough time to observe the Heat's offense and find their own positions.

Woody took the lead. Kevin Garnett looked at him and glanced to the right, and did not dare to step forward. It was also at this time that Woody successfully reached the basket.

The Timberwolves only have "Madman" left!
Woody now finally knows why "Madman" is called "Madman".

With his offensive, even Kevin Garnett didn't dare to make up for it without hesitation, but this guy still dared to come up and defend. Not only did he go up and dove, he even jumped to intercept it in the air." mad Men".

It was only when he jumped up that he realized that his height was a different level from Woody's, and he had to look up to see the ball in Woody's hand.

If he looked straight ahead, all he could see was Woody's obviously prominent "bird" part.

Woody's take-off was obviously much better than his.

"Bah!"

When the dunk sounded, "Madman" had only one feeling. His head was buzzing, and his whole foot fell to the ground. He couldn't stand at all, and staggered to the ground.

"wooooooow!"

If the expression just explained already belongs to "Rampage Comics", then the style of painting at this moment is really "Cat and Mouse". There are enough various parts, and the whole person is so surprised that he can't say a word.

This dunk...

The narrator thought for a long time and then said: "Woody murdered Sprewell!"

Look at the expression on "Madman", it's obvious that he is homesick!

Kenny Smith put it this way: "I believe, for a moment, the madman saw his grandmother!"

Woody's dunk also completely shook up the scene.

Various cheers continued, and even though the Timberwolves' counterattack had begun, there was no sign of stopping.

Woody's first dunk of the new season was too overbearing.

Although the new season has just begun, this is already a dunk that can be booked as the best dunk of the season.

Woody after gaining weight...

Really scary!

Kevin Garnett's eyes were filled with a bit of happiness. He was glad that he didn't go up directly.Otherwise, I'm afraid he is the one sitting on the ground blankly now, waiting for his teammates to come and pull him.

He just won the regular season MVP last season!
He almost became Woody's "sacrifice".

The Timberwolves were even more chaotic in this round. Kevin Garnett tried to catch the ball in the high post to get the entire team running smoothly again, but Woody pushed towards him as soon as he got the ball. The first contact He almost failed to hold the ball securely. Such a confrontation made Kevin Garnett decisively give up holding the ball. Waiting for Szczerbiak to go around to his side of the three-point line, he immediately Put the ball in his hands.

"Dangdang!"

Szczerbiak averaged 43.9% from the field last season!

But in the first game of the new season, he did not show his accuracy.

It probably had something to do with the fact that his shots were not in a rhythm he was familiar with.

For all pitchers, their own rhythm is more critical than their opponent's defense.

As long as the rhythm is right, even if the opponent reaches out to block him, he can successfully complete the shot.

What does "top pitcher" mean? This is it.

Of course, top pitchers must also possess another ability, which is the ability to adjust. In this regard, Szczerbiak is a bit behind.

This has always restricted him from becoming a better shooter.

The rebound was grabbed by Shaquille O'Neal this time. Although he passed Qiu to Alston as quickly as possible, this little time delay was enough for the Timberwolves to quickly return to defense.

Timberwolves head coach Saunders breathed a sigh of relief as the fast break was no longer available.

Woody's shot just now also made his heart palpitate.

But before he could fully relax, he saw a huge guy heading towards the Timberwolves' restricted area.

Shaq - O'Neal!
The breath he had just released was immediately inhaled by Sanders.

I really can’t get over it!
"Madman" defended with anticipation this time.

As soon as Alston made eye contact with Wade, he immediately narrowed the gap between himself and Wade and took a stance to prevent Wade from catching the ball easily.

Wade made several fake moves on the spot, but he failed to deceive the "madman".

Alston also immediately looked at Shaquille O'Neal under the basket.

The "Shark" began to confront the "Sugar Man" and easily pushed the "Sugar Man" behind him. This was definitely the period when Shaquille O'Neal had the strongest blocking ability.

The tonnage alone is enough to make opponents vomit...

The face of "Sugar Man" is full of helplessness and helplessness.

This is really, really foul!

The ball went from Alston's hands to the "Shark's" hands.

Shaquille O'Neal, who was easily blocked, was even more relaxed in the following singles. With just a simple turn, he threw away the "Sugar Man" again. After facing the basket, he easily scored the ball with a small hook under the basket. basket.

6-2!

Such an easy goal was the last straw for Sanders.He had to raise his hand and call a timeout.

However, this timeout did not have any effect. In the rest of the first quarter, Woody, Wade and Shaquille O'Neal continued to maintain their indomitable ability to hold the ball and attack the frame.

Their offensive reminded Sanders of tanks.

At the end of the first quarter, Stan Van Gundy also described the three of them this way: "The Heat have tanks, not one, not two!"
