NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 98 [98] The Heat's Big Three's triangle offense, won the game and eat dumplings together!

The Heat attack.

Wade took the ball to the top of the arc and faced Reggie Miller's defense.

The old Miller still put Wade more than two meters away, mainly pinching his breakthrough.

Lin Fei is now on the left perimeter, ready to start running at any time, and Tinsley is close to the defense.

O'Neal in the penalty area suddenly stepped up to block Jamal Tinsley, and made a full cover for Lin Fei near the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Lin Fei suddenly started to accelerate, and quickly moved from the left to the right around the three-point line. Xiao Ao immediately switched defenses and delayed, blocking the space for Lin Fei to catch the ball and shoot.

At this moment, Lin Fei kept his feet on the ground, and Wade, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, quickly made a cross screen. In an instant, Lin Fei had come to the vicinity of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Under two consecutive screens, Jermaine O and Tinsley were both freed, and Reggie Miller could only quickly switch defenses to make up for it.

This made the Pacers' defense completely messed up. O'Neill hurried back to defend O'Neal, but Tinsley failed to catch up in front of Wade.

"Whoosh!"

The "Flash" seized the opportunity without hesitation, directly killing the penalty area with one acceleration, and the starting pace was as fast as thunder.

Facing Artest's supplementary defense again, Wade was not reckless this time. He lost Artest's direction and made a layup with his left hand.

"Shh!"

Back on defense, Wade, Lin Fei and O'Neal high-fived each other. The offensive cooperation of the Heat's Big Three is very tacit, and it has obviously been practiced countless times in team training.

Although Lin Fei didn't get a chance to catch the ball in this attack, his outside containment force successfully tore apart the Pacers' defense, allowing Wade or O'Neal to get a chance.

Back on the defensive end, Lin Fei was responsible for chasing and defending Reggie Miller without the ball, and Wade switched to defending Jamal Tinsley.

This defensive change in the backcourt achieved very good results. Under Lin Fei's active pursuit and defense, Reggie Miller failed to get the ball for two consecutive screens.

And Tinsley and Jermaine's high pick-and-roll didn't work. Wade's screen was very quick, forcing Tinsley to hand over the ball to Jermaine.

Xiao Ao's back is completely unable to support the huge O'Neill, and he hesitates to turn around and make a strong shot.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei had a keen eye, and seized this fleeting opportunity. When Reggie Miller wanted to step up to meet him, he made up for it in advance to double-team Xiao Ao.
The big hand slapped down like a scalpel, and cut off the basketball in O'Neal's hand.

"Snapped!"

Stretching out his long arms to quickly control the ball, Lin Fei didn't stick to the ball, and quickly handed it to Wade, who stepped forward to respond, and at the same time quickly walked to the right and flew down quickly.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Wade took the ball and ran in the middle of the court, his figure was as fast as lightning, Tinsley chased after him, and Reggie Miller gritted his teeth and came up.

At the critical moment, the Pacers completely forgot about Lin Fei who was going down the right.

Facing the front and rear double-teams, Wade made a sharp diagonal pass, and the ball came right in front of Lin Fei.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took a step to an emergency stop, stood half a meter outside the three-point line at a 40-degree angle on the right, looked at the basket and jumped up, and made a decisive three-pointer.

"Shh!"

This is Lin Fei's first three-pointer on behalf of the Miami Heat.

It was also Lin Fei's first three-pointer in the NBA regular season.

Although he was in the Timberwolves in his rookie season, Lin Fei also appeared in a lot of garbage time in the regular season, but he scored very few points, and he never made a three-pointer.

Throughout his rookie season, Lin Fei played 26 games on behalf of the Timberwolves, averaging less than 6 minutes per game, and scored a total of 21 points.

If the players' total points in the regular season were to be counted in the future, then Lin Fei's rookie season could be said to have been wasted.

You must know that they are both of the 03 generation, James and Anthony's rookie season regular season total points are above 1600 points, and Wade is also close to 1000 points.

Lin Fei's 21 points this season are just his points in one game.

Although he suffered a loss in the regular season, Lin Fei's rookie season's playoff data is absolutely leading the 03 generation.

He played 8 games in the Western Conference finals and the finals, scoring a total of 205 points. Among the rookies of the same class in 03, he was second only to teammate Dwyane Wade's 234 points in the rookie playoffs.

Wade played a total of 03 playoff games in two rounds with the Heat in the 04-13 season, averaging 18 points per game.

"Melon" Anthony only played 4 playoff games to get 60 points, James and Bosh did not make the playoffs at all.

Although he ranked behind Wade in terms of total points in the playoffs in the rookie season, Wade played in the first two rounds, while Lin Fei played in the last two rounds and won the championship. Naturally, Wade can't compare in this respect .

Following Wade's assisted three-pointer, Miami fans cheered and screamed enthusiastically at the American Airlines Arena.

The DJ shouted Lin Fei's name with a loud voice, and the fans echoed.

Back on defense, Lin Fei and Wade clapped with a smile. Although it was only the first cooperation in an official NBA game,
However, during the nearly one-month offseason training and preseason warm-up, Lin Fei and Wade already had a very high tacit understanding.

Standing on the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy also smiled and nodded slowly with his big belly.

Lin Fei contributed 1 points and 3 steal in less than 1 minute on the field, and directly directed and staged a sharp counterattack. The Heat also played a wave of 5:0 and quickly overtook the score.

Heat (17): (15) Pacers.

In Tianchao's five live broadcast rooms, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were still responsible for explaining the game.

"Good shot! Lin Fei's chasing three-pointer is so beautiful, and this is also the first three-pointer he hit in his debut game on behalf of the Heat!"

"The defensive end decisively double-teamed Xiao Ao and sent a steal. This also shows that our Lin Fei, after the hard training in the offseason and the polishing of the Olympic Games, our defense has been greatly improved!"

"At least in my opinion, it is not so easy for the non-all-star guards in the NBA to single-handedly fight Lin Fei!"

"Lin Fei's current defense can't be said to be good, but he is definitely no longer a colander on the team's defensive end!"

Director Zhang was emotional. Seeing that Lin Fei's three-pointers were still accurate in the new season, and his defense was getting better and better, the improvement of his overall strength was obvious.

It is completely foreseeable that as long as Lin Fei stays healthy, he will definitely have the opportunity to play a higher value in this season with the Heat, and be selected as an All-Star with Dayao.

The host beside him, Yu Jia, asked:

"Director Zhang, what do you think are the specific differences between Wade and O'Neal, Lin Fei's current partners, compared to the star teammates of the Timberwolves last season?"

"Or in your opinion, Lin Fei's teammates in the Heat are stronger overall, or are his teammates in the Timberwolves last season stronger overall?"

Director Zhang carefully analyzed with a smile: "From the overall point of view, last season's Timberwolves must be stronger. After all, the three-headed monsters are all All-Star players, and Garnett is the new MVP! There is also Si Ze on the bench. Biak!"

"In contrast, the Heat now only have two All-Stars, O'Neal and Eddie Jones, and since the announcement of the zone defense rules, O'Neal's overall statistics have also shrunk significantly!"

"However, judging from this new season, Wade's growth is very rapid. Both he and Lin Fei have the opportunity to cooperate with O'Neal and be selected as All-Stars together!"

"It seems to me that Pat Riley made the right choice to help Dwayne Wade. After all, Wade has played in college for 3 years. He is now more mature than James and Anthony!"

"Compared with Sam Cassell, Wade may still lack experience in organizing offense, but his breakthrough and personal lethality are too strong, which is enough to create more space for Lin Fei!"

"Look at the quick play of Lin Fei and Wade just now, the two guards of the Pacers all went to pounce on Wade, and completely let go of Lin Fei. This is the demonstration of Wade's terrifying fast break deterrent!"

After the Yadian Olympics led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the silver medal in history, and signed Anta with a sky-high price of 5 million,
All this has made Lin Fei's status in the hearts of Chinese fans even higher, and his popularity and influence have skyrocketed.

If Dayao is the cornerstone of the Tianchao men's basketball team, then Lin Fei has determined the higher ceiling of the Tianchao men's basketball team.

Tonight's new season opener of the NBA naturally attracted more domestic fans' attention, and they waited in front of the TV early.

The new season of the NBA has finally started. At the same time, Lin Fei and Dayao, two stars of the Chinese dynasty, are playing overseas.

For Chinese fans, this season's NBA is definitely more worth looking forward to than any previous season.

What's more, whether it is Lin Fei's Miami Heat or Yao Mai's Rockets, they all have a certain strength to hit the championship.

"Brother Fei is awesome, he scored 1 points and 3 steal in less than 1 minute, and he won't lose the chain on both offense and defense!"

"With Wade and O'Neal here, I feel that Lin Fei will have more opportunities to catch and shoot this new season. He averaged 6 three-pointers per game. This is the advantage of playing with stars!"

"Lin Fei's defense is really much better than last year. First, the defensive end double-teamed and intercepted Xiao Ao. This time, Reggie Miller, who came back and chased after him, had a hard time receiving the ball!"

"I think Wade is better than James. Why are so many people talking about 'Little Emperor'?"

"Guess how many three-pointers my brother Fei can hit tonight, I think at least 7 are guaranteed!"

"The Pacers are still very strong. Tonight's opening game is absolutely exciting! I have a hunch that the two teams will play until the last minute to decide the winner!"

Look back at the American Airlines Arena.

Pacers offense.

Xiao Ao, who was suddenly double-teamed and intercepted by Lin Fei, obviously looked unhappy, and he was suffocating anger in his heart.

This time on the offensive end, Jermaine O'Neal made a solid screen for Reggie Miller who was holding the ball in the high position, completely blocking Lin Fei who was chasing and defending.

While Lin Fei was quickly circling the screen, Xiao Ao's body in the pick-and-roll moved obviously, and directly collided with Lin Fei, his strong arm even pressed against Lin Fei's chest.

This is an obvious mobile pick-and-roll foul, but the referee chose to ignore it.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and endured the pain of being hit, secretly thinking that Xiao Ao's physical fitness is definitely top-notch among center forwards.

Fortunately, his physique has also improved significantly during the offseason. If it had been the previous season, Xiao Ao would have knocked Lin Fei unconscious.

Reggie Miller saw the opportunity here, so he dribbled the ball one step to the left of the top of the arc and made an emergency stop, and made a decisive three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The ball missed and the long rebound bounced high.

Although he is better at catching the ball after running without the ball, Reggie Miller also has a good ability to hold the ball, which is much better than Hamilton.

After all, he had been the boss of the Pacers during his peak period. A leader of a strong team in the Eastern Conference of the NBA must not be a pure ballless player like Lin Fei.

It's just that Reggie Miller's three-point shooting rate with the ball is far lower than the three-point shooting rate with the ball.
What's more, at the age of 39, Reggie Miller's overall three-point shooting percentage in the new season has also dropped below 40%.

"Snapped!"

Although Reggie failed to hit a three-pointer, the strong Artest grabbed the offensive rebound against Haslem, forced a layup and directly caused Haslem's shooting foul.

Against the physically strong Artest tonight, Haslem has a lot of pressure on the defensive end and can't take advantage of it at all.

After all, Haslem is only 2.03 meters tall. He has no height advantage as a power forward, and his tonnage is also inferior to Artest. The overall talent is poor, and only enthusiasm remains.

"Shh!"

"Bang!"

Artest walked to the free throw line with his chest upright, and he made 70 of 2 free throws with a year-round free throw percentage of about 1%.

"Snapped!"

This time the defensive rebound was taken by O'Neal, who quickly gave Wade a push.

The Pacers returned to defense quickly. Wade stabilized the rhythm and played positional warfare. He took the ball and landed at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the frontcourt, and faced Reggie Miller again.

With Wade and Lin Fei partnering in the backcourt, Wade is the point guard and the starting point of offense for this Heat team, but Lin Fei's weak dribbling ability determines that he can only play shooting guard.

Although the old Miller is 39 years old, he still has rich defensive experience. In the first half with plenty of physical strength, his defensive effect was obviously higher than that of Tinsley at the point guard.

The Pacers let Miller defend Wade, and Tinsley chased Lin Fei. This also shows that Rick Carlisle pays more attention to Wade with the ball in his hands, followed by Lin Fei, who is sharp in three-pointers.

At this time, Lin Fei suddenly moved to the right around the three-point line at the top of the arc, and with the help of Wade's cover at a 45-degree angle, he accelerated straight to a 0-degree angle on the right.

Lin Fei, who came to the 0-degree angle, formed an offensive triangle with Wade in the high position on the right and O'Neal in the low position in the penalty area.

This is a tactic that Phil Jackson often used during the Bulls and Lakers, and Stan Van Gundy has also been improved and integrated into the Heat's tactical system.

Because of Lin Fei's three-point deterrence, Reggie Miller had to quickly switch defenses and catch up, intercepting Lin Fei's catch and shot at a 0-degree angle on the right.

At this time, Wade faced Jamal Tinsley in a misplaced position, launched a strong attack with his personal ability, and started the first step as fast as lightning, directly throwing away most of the opponent's body.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Wade go to the basket, O'Neill bypassed the Sharks to make up the defense, and Wade also saw the right time and passed the ball to O'Neal in the low post on the right in a feint.

O'Neal took the ball and stepped into the penalty area. Facing O'Neal who turned around and couldn't defend, he jumped up and made a powerful dunk.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 2+1.

The cheers of Miami's home fans resounded at the scene again. Pat Riley, who was sitting in the first row on the sidelines, also had deep eyes. He had already seen the shadow of OK in Wade and O'Neal.

Coupled with Lin Fei's huge perimeter control, these three guys from the Heat are destined to set off a bloodbath in the league in the new season.

Riley believed in his own vision, he would never be wrong.

O'Neal, who scored 2+1, was also very domineering. After high-fiving Wade, he took a domineering step, facing the Pacers bench on the sidelines, his eyes widened and he held his breath, pressing down with both hands!

"Hey guys, I know you're here to die tonight!"

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal blew a kiss to Lin Fei again. This greasy little expression seemed to say: Great Lin, please grant me the ability to hit 100% free throws.

Lin Fei was also amused by O'Neill's funny expression. He first gave O'Neill a thumbs up with his right hand, then opened his index finger, made a pistol pose and shot towards the basket.

Given O'Neal's touch and strength, this free throw must be hit.

"Shh!"

The clear sound of brushing the net sounded, and O'Neal added a penalty, but it was still hollow.

In the past month, he has often practiced with Lin Fei Wade, and O'Neal has gradually become obsessed with shooting three-pointers, and he has become more active in free throw training.

O'Neill, who scored 2+1, also looked very happy. During the retreat, he swayed his body with his leather drum up, with a funny expression, and flirted with Wade and Lin Fei.

The Heat's offense is a triangular tactical cooperation between O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei on the strong side. Similar tactics will be staged more in the Heat's offense in the new season.

In this attack, Lin Fei mainly played the role of outside containment, while Wade and O'Neal are the two endpoints of the restricted area.

Relying on Lin Fei's three-point deterrence, after he is at the horns and Wade covers, the opponent will switch defenses nine times out of ten, and Wade can therefore face the weaker defender.

After all, looking at the entire league, it is rare for a team to start in the backcourt and have both players defend equally well.

In fact, for Wade's current ability, it is not difficult for him to overcome Reggie Miller, but the team must play a more united tactic on the offensive end.

Only in this way can the participation and enthusiasm of each player be increased, and the team's running-in and chemical reaction in the new season will be better.

第一节打了8分钟，热火队开场的20分被韦德、奥尼尔和林飞三人包揽，其中韦德“9分”1篮板3助攻1抢断，表现最为亮眼。

The Pacers played an advantage. This time the ball was given to Artest, who directly pushed Haslem from the high position to the edge of the penalty area with his back, and made a solid half-stop jumper.

"Shh!"

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines frowned slightly. In this Heat team, the reserve of power forwards is obviously the most insufficient. Strictly speaking, Haslem does not have the strength to start.

Thinking of this, Van Gundy took a rough look at the players on the bench. The new season has just started, and more players on the bench should be given opportunities to exercise.

The possession of the ball was changed, and Eddie Jones was obviously dissatisfied with not being able to touch the ball for a long time. When he came to the offensive end, he eagerly reached out to Wade for the ball, and wanted to single out Wu Sheng Jackson.

Wade had to give the ball to Eddie Jones.

Although Eddie Jones is not a member of the Heat's future blueprint, after all, he gave Wade a lot of care last season, which Wade is still very grateful for.

"Eddie, as I said, I will never let you score in double figures tonight!"

Stephen Jackson's defense is very active. Although his personal talent is average, his fierce and brutal energy often makes offensive players feel difficult.

Jones' emergency stop jump shot after this breakthrough was too difficult, and was effectively interfered by Jackson, and he missed the basketball.

"Bang!"

But the offensive rebound was taken by O'Neal, and O'Neill quickly stepped up to defend.

"Whoosh!"

Wade is also moving like a rabbit at this time, throwing off Miller on the right side and rushing to the basket, receiving O'Neal's touchdown ball, stepping into the penalty area and leaping up, another explosive dunk.

"Boom!"

In the second grade, Wade really had infinite passion, and Lin Fei, as a teammate, was also infected.

The ball was switched, and Reggie Miller dribbled directly from the backcourt. Lin Fei faced Lin Fei at the top of the arc, signaling not to pick and roll, and let his teammates open up space.

The 39-year-old Miller clearly wanted to single out Lin Fei, to see if he could find a new breakthrough.

Everyone knows Lin Fei's performance in the finals last season. He is good at chasing and defending Hamilton without the ball, but he is poor in singles defense against people with the ball.

But now Lin Fei has a defensive value of 75 points, plus a stealing attribute of 83 points, in front of the old Miller who is about to retire, he has not hesitated at all.

Reggie Miller, who is two meters tall, weighs only 87 kilograms, can be said to be a bit thin for a shooting guard. Lin Fei is already stronger than Miller in this period.

Coupled with an excellent wingspan of 2.12 meters and a positive defensive attitude, Miller has less than the slightest advantage in the matchup.

Successive back-and-back attempts to break through failed, and the old Miller was a little bit uneasy, so he could only try to shoot a difficult three-pointer after one step laterally from the outside.

Lin Fei rushed up in time and effectively interfered with Reggie Miller's shot.

"Bang!"

Reggie Miller still missed the three-pointer, and Lin Fei completed a very successful defense.

"Snapped!"

The long rebound was taken by Wade, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and the Heat counterattacked again.

O'Neal fell into position in the positional battle, with his back against O'Neal holding the ball and making a strong attack. Artest quickly rushed up to double-team, but seeing that he still couldn't hold it down, he immediately fouled.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle, indicating that it was a shooting foul, and O'Neal went to the free throw line.

The 32-year-old O'Neal is still in his prime, and his physical condition and mentality are very good.

The two beasts of the Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal and Artest, can't stop O'Neal from scoring in the low post. This kind of terrifying basket deterrence can be said to be unparalleled.

For some reason, Lin Fei always feels that the current O'Neal is more active and passionate than the O'Neal in the Western Conference Finals last season.

After all, the contradictions of the OK combination cannot be reconciled, and parting ways with Kobe also made O'Neal understand more truths.

Now that he has come to the Heat, the 32-year-old O'Neal also understands the importance of decentralization. Letting his younger brother Wade let go to play, he will get higher efficiency instead.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

It was another steady two free throws and one. O'Neal raised his eyebrows when he returned to the defense. He was not sad or happy, but he was quite satisfied.

"Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson made a cross screen with Thunderbolt Miller at the top of the front arc, and after receiving the ball, he misplaced and faced Lin Fei.

"Hey buddy, does your defense look good? Use a little more force, don't make me feel nothing!"

Compared with Lei Jian Miller, "Wu Sheng" has a much stronger body, with bulging muscles in his arms and a chest as strong as iron.

"Bang bang bang!"

Lin Fei couldn't help backing up after being bumped back twice by Jackson, but he kept his defensive attention all the time.

"Wu Sheng" turned around and shot a jumper suddenly after opening the space. Lin Fei rushed up the ball quickly, but it was still half a beat too late, and he could only watch the basketball fly past his fingertips.

"Shh!"

Have it.

Lin Fei frowned slightly, and quickly summed up the unfavorable factors in his defense just now in his mind.

The main reason is that his body is not strong enough to match the 99 kg Stephen Jackson in terms of tonnage. Simply put, he is not in a heavyweight class.

Regarding the current defense of 75 points, Lin Fei feels that he should be able to defend from the 1st position to the 3rd position. It is far from reaching the defensive elite level, but at least it is not for nothing.

Lin Fei's defensive characteristics are mainly active fighting, quick response, accurate prediction, and effective interference. He is no longer timid against ordinary NBA guards, but he suffers a little bit from powerful strikers.

Of course, facing superstars like Iverson, Kobe, and Wade, Lin Fei's single defense is naturally free, and he can only rely on the help of his teammates to defend and double-team.

The ball was switched, and the Big Three of the Heat continued to play triangle offensive tactics on the strong side.

Wade held the ball at a high position at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Lin Fei used the cover to run at a 0-degree angle on the right.

Reggie Miller is still changing defenses to keep up, and Wade is still misplaced and accelerated to break through the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Wade's center of gravity was very low when he made a breakthrough this time, and his body was almost flying close to the ground. Tinsley, who was defending, was stunned.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, Tinsley behind Wade lost his footing and was directly shaken to the ground.

This time Jermaine didn't rush up to defend Wade, but Artest on the weak side let go of Haslem and came up to defend.

But Wade didn't have the slightest timidity in the face of Artest, and directly changed direction with a lost step, and hit a layup with his left hand again.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

Artest's defensive action was obviously a bit big, knocking Wade to the ground.

The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 2+1.

Wade, who fell to the ground, was also very excited. He was young and frivolous. After getting up, he beat his chest and shouted at Artest, who turned his opening cap over:

"This is my territory! (This is my territory!)"

"Shh!"

Walking to the free throw line, Wade made another free throw and scored 3 points.

The first quarter has not yet finished, Wade has scored 7 points on 6 of 14 shots.

Heat (26): (19) Pacers.

Standing on the sidelines, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle called a long timeout without hesitation.

It seems that the team's defense must be changed, or at least 30 points will be scored by Wade tonight.

In second-year Dwyane Wade, Carlisle seemed to see Jordan's shadow.

In the TNT live broadcast room in the United States, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith analyzed the opening game sharply and pointed out the reason why the Heat took the lead.

"It seems that the combination of Shaquille, Dwayne and Lin is far more worth looking forward to than expected!"

"One is an invincible first center in the low post, the other is a talented shooting guard with a sharp breakthrough, and the other is an outside shooter with a good three-pointer. Together, these three people are really a perfect match!"

"Dwyane Wade has honed in college for three years, and now he is definitely more mature than LeBron and Cameron, and his technical characteristics and style of play have also been finalized!"

"Except for the mid-range and long-range sights that need to be improved, Wade has almost no shortcomings in both offense and defense, and his mid-range and long-range deficiencies have been completely made up for by Lin!"

"We can see that before Lin came on the court, the Heat were still three points behind the Pacers, and within 4 minutes after Lin came on the court, the Heat quickly played a wave of 14:4!"

"Lin's ability to contain the outside line caused the Pacers' defense of the penalty area to be disintegrated, and Wade's sharp breakthrough and O'Neal's low-post dominance were fully displayed!"

"Although Lin only hit one three-pointer in 4 minutes, his role on the offensive end is not reflected by the statistics!"

After listening to Charles Barkley's analysis, Kenny Smith nodded in agreement:
"Charles, every time you comment on Lin's game, your mind will be extra clear!"

"Here we must applaud the general manager of the Heat, Mr. Pat Riley. His signings transactions during the offseason were very successful, and he also has a far-sighted strategic thinking!"

"Worthy of being a generation of legendary coaches in the NBA, the Miami Heat are definitely worth the expectations of more fans this season!"

After the timeout, the main players of the two teams appeared again.

For the Pacers, Rick Carlisle temporarily replaced the old Miller with the team's sixth man, Fred Jones, to maintain a more flexible rotation defense on the back line.

On the Heat side, Stan Van Gundy replaced Udonis Haslem with roughly.

He was very excited to be able to enter the main rotation of the substitute insider, and motivated himself in his heart to perform positively, concentrate, and play well every minute of playing.

You must know that throughout last season, he played roughly 14 games with the Heat, and the average playing time was only 7 minutes per game, which was basically garbage time. He contributed 3.1 points and 1.0 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was 37.8%.

Now that he got the chance to play in the first quarter of the opening game of the new season, and he was the first substitute choice for a power forward, he was generally flattered, and he knew that this had a lot to do with Lin Fei.

Of course, in today's parallel world, he was roughly able to reconcile with the domestic basketball association in advance, and at the same time won a silver medal as an absolute main force in the Yadian Olympics,
Coupled with the active training in the team and the good performance in the preseason, these have generally attracted more attention from the Heat's coaching staff.

Seeing that he was replaced early, Lin Fei was naturally happy for his fellow teammates, and offered encouragement with a smile:

"Generally, come on, let's fight side by side like in the Olympics!"

Faced with Lin Fei's encouragement, the blood in the general's chest also boiled even more, he clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze became determined.

"Lin Fei, let's go home after the game tonight. Your sister-in-law Song Yang has made dumplings for us!"

Lin Fei laughed and said, "If you win the game, go, if you lose, I'm not in the mood to eat dumplings!"

He roughly nodded and said, "You're right, we must win tonight!"

At this time, O'Neill also came over with his eyes wide open, because he was speaking to Lin Fei in the Chinese dialect, so he naturally couldn't understand it.

But after all, after spending more than a month with the two Chinese people, O'Neill also studied Chinese for a few days in 3 minutes, and he can still understand the Chinese word "dumpling".

"What dumplings? Do you want dumplings? Take one with me, I like it!"

Lin Feihe looked at each other with a smile, and said to O'Neill, "Shaquille, if you win the game, I will take you to eat dumplings, including beef, scallions, leeks and eggs!"

A smile appeared on O'Neill's face immediately, and he said triumphantly, "Of course I will win this game tonight, but I have to eat at least 100 dumplings."

He nodded with a general smile and said, "Enough!"

Because of Lin Fei's presence, he and O'Neal Wade got along more harmoniously.

This reminded him of his experience in the NBA in the past few seasons. Whether on or off the court, it was difficult for him to truly integrate with these foreign teammates, and sometimes he was even isolated.

But now, with Lin Fei, all these difficulties no longer exist.

It is really a very happy thing to have a fellow teammate who is the number three in the team to help and cover.

This new season, generally speaking, is likely to be a watershed in his career.

He is 27 years old, and he is no longer young. If he does not achieve any results in the new season, he will really be abandoned by the NBA.

Three kilometers south of the American Airlines Arena, in the living room of a beach house.

General's wife, Song Yang, was making dumplings on the coffee table with Tianchao's nanny, while also seriously watching the live broadcast of the game on TV.

Seeing that he was replaced at the end of the first quarter, and he was the second player on the Heat's bench besides Lin Fei, Song Yang was naturally very excited, and tears even glistened in his eyes.

The 50-year-old Tianchao nanny is simple and kind, and has no children. She has served Song Yang's parents and family since she was a child. A few years ago, she made a special trip to follow Song Yang to the United States.

"Miss, look quickly, my uncle is here!"

Song Yang nodded emotionally and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to Lin Fei's support, Lin Fei is really roughly the same nobleman as our family!"

"This season is roughly the last hope in the NBA. I hope he can seize the opportunity and perform well!"

His eyes returned to the American Airlines Arena, and the game continued after a pause.

The first quarter of the game has reached the last 2 minutes and 03 seconds.

Pacers attack.

Seeing that his opponent has become a tall and powerful Asian power forward, Artest suddenly became energetic and directly turned his back to his teammates for the ball, obviously trying to pick up a soft persimmon.

Haslem couldn't guard him, and this slow-moving big bamboo pole was naturally even less likely to guard him.

Facing Artest's back holding the ball, he generally concentrated on lowering his center of gravity, holding his breath to withstand the attack of the "beast".

But Artest is really too strong. Even though he weighs roughly 117 kilograms close to 260 pounds, he still couldn't withstand Artest's impact.

Seeing Rough's footsteps staggering, Artest took advantage of the opportunity to turn over and break through on the left side, directly passing Rough who was moving slowly laterally, and it was a light pick to the basket along the way.

But Artest was still too careless on the basket, completely ignoring the Heat players rushing up from the diagonal stab.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the crisp and loud noise, Wade jumped up in the penalty area with his excellent sense of judgment and superhuman bullet speed, and slammed the basketball that flew out of Artest's hands onto the tempered backboard.

The block was so shocking that the basketball rebounded from the tempered backboard was roughly caught, and quickly turned around and passed the ball to Eddie Jones who was about to come down.

Stephen Jackson's return to defense was fast, Jones' breakthrough was blocked, and a change of direction during the march did not shake off the entanglement of "Wu Sheng", so he had to slow down and stabilize the rhythm.

"Whizzing!"

Two figures of lightning rushed up from both sides almost at the same time, Wade on the left who threw off Tinsley, and Lin Fei who threw off Fred Jones on the right.

Wade went straight to the penalty area and waved for the ball. This was a very good opportunity for fast-break dunks, but Eddie Jones failed to pass the ball in the first place.

Lin Fei, who was going down the right sideline, also had the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, but Eddie Jones also did not pass.

He obviously wanted to show himself. The first quarter was almost over, and Eddie Jones was still 2-for-0 and didn't score a single point. He couldn't let the two rookies Wade and Lin Fei steal the limelight.

"Whoosh!"

After lowering the tempo, he suddenly turned over and accelerated again. Eddie Jones used the tempo change in the fast break to instantly throw away half of Stephen Jackson's position and directly entered the frontcourt penalty area.

Although he was passed by, Stephen Jackson did not give up his defense. He was very active in chasing and defending, ready to send a big cap behind him at any time.

Jamal Tinsley, who was chasing Wade, also rushed up to make up the defense. Eddie Jones lost the best chance for a fast break layup, but under the interference of two defensive players, he jumped up and shot.

Although this low-handed layup avoided the block, but the angle of the board was too tricky, the basketball swiped twice on the rim, and finally rolled out.

"Whoosh!"

Wade, who rushed up from the diagonal stab, relied on his terrifying bullet speed and physical fitness, got an offensive rebound above the heads of "Wu Sheng" and Tinsley, and was about to send a one-handed dunk.

But this time Wade was too impatient and didn't control the basketball well. He made a strong dunk and directly sent the basketball flying out.

"Bang!"

The basketball that bounced high and flew out was roughly caught by the one who quickly followed up to the top of the arc. Artest quickly rushed up to interfere, roughly with his back against the opponent to protect the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who came across the three-point line from the right, was very fast, and with the help of a cover roughly at the top of the arc, he quickly rushed outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left.

At this time, the rough screen succeeded in delaying Fred Jones' pursuit, and Artest didn't care about switching defenses immediately.

At this moment of opportunity, it was almost as if he saw the familiar cooperation between himself and Lin Fei in the Olympic Games, so without any hesitation, he turned his back and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei who was at a 45-degree angle on the left.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off without making any adjustments. Facing Artest, who came up from the switch, Lin Fei shot a three-pointer in lightning.

"Shh!"

Roughly assist +1.

Lin Fei scored +3.

Standing on the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy nodded slowly. It seemed that Lin Fei and his teammates from the two national teams did indeed have a better tacit understanding.
