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

Chapter 99 [99] The perfect combination, the final puzzle of the championship!

Chapter 99 [99] The perfect combination, the final puzzle of the championship!
This time, the Heat counterattacked and fast-breaked one after another, generally actively and fast-paced to grab the offensive rebound, and Lin Fei's pass after the top of the arc was also quite decisive.

Lin Fei also hit his second three-pointer tonight, helping the team extend the lead to 10 points.

The Pacers got serious.

Artest was obviously worried about Wade's flying chasing cap, and he came to the offensive end to improve his position and set up a pick-and-roll screen for Jamal Tinsley who was holding the ball.

The quality of Artest's pick-and-roll screen is very good, and his strong body blocked the space for Wade to circle the screen in the first place.

Wade wants to squeeze through with his physical fitness, but no matter how strong he is among the guards, he is nothing compared to a beast like Artest.

Seeing that Tinsley is about to get a good shot space in the high position, he can only quickly make up defenses.

The Pacers obviously still look for this point to misplace their singles. Tinsley made a sudden stop and changed direction, and directly shook off the slow-footed general, and made a decisive mid-range shot with a sideways step.

"Shh!"

Seeing that he was being played around by the Pacers' small point guard, and his high center of gravity made it difficult for him to display flexible steps on the defensive end, the Heat fans in the audience also frowned.

Whether it was the Mavericks and Clippers back then, or the Heat today, his poor performance on the defensive end is the most important reason why he didn't reuse him.

The general advantage lies in shooting, but the ability to fight against the basket is insufficient, and the bounce and speed of the bullet are not ideal, which also affects his rebounding.

Wade came up and patted General on the shoulder actively, and communicated with him some details about the defense just now.

The Heat coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines looked calm, and he was not annoyed by the continuous being targeted on the defensive end, but he was mentally prepared.

As the head coach of a team, Van Gundy has an understanding of every player in the lineup. Generally speaking, it was difficult to integrate into the team last season, and he was not active enough to play in garbage time.

But in this offseason and preseason, driven by Lin Fei, Van Gundy has seen a different general. He is obviously more active on the defensive end, although he still does not do well in many areas.

The Heat attacked, and the Big Three continued to play triangle cooperation on the strong side. Wade once again rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Whether it is Tinsley or Fred Jones, it is almost impossible to defend against the breakthrough of "The Flash".

The Pacers had been prepared for a long time, and Artest decisively let go of the high post to make up for the defense. Jermaine O'Neal entangled O'Neal and waited for an opportunity, which made the restricted area bloated.

"Whoosh!"

A wonderful pass that almost doesn't look at people, Wade flicked his wrist, and the ball quickly came to the high hand on the left.

Obviously, this is the Heat's established offensive tactics.

The reason why Roughly replaced Udonis Haslem is because Roughly has a better mid-range and long-range feel than Haslem. Once Artest defends, Roughly will be completely emptied here.

After receiving Wade's pass, there was roughly a moment of excitement, but the mood quickly calmed down, and he seized the opportunity to take off decisively.

Although the speed of reaction and shot is not fast, the Pacers gave too much space, enough for him to calmly adjust his rhythm before shooting.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net hollow and splashed beautifully.

Roughly the last shot on the field tonight was a steady hit, about 20 feet away from the basket and about 6 meters away. The two-pointer at this point is roughly the strength, and the hit rate reached 60%.

It can not only open up space on the offensive end, but also maintain a better shooting rate.

If it were Haslem, his shooting percentage at this position would be too bad.

Wade returned to the defense and roughly clapped his hands, smiled and encouraged: "Wang, you did a good job!"

He roughly responded with a smile: "Dwayne, your pass is also great!"

It is obvious that Wade's attitude towards himself has changed a lot in the new season, and he roughly knows that this is the face that Lin Fei has brought to him.

Fred Jones's three-point shot on the outside of the cover was a bit hasty, and the basketball missed the basket.

"Bang!"

The red light came on and the first quarter was over.

Heat (31): (21) Pacers.

With a net win of 10 points in a single quarter, this start can be said to be very good.

韦德拿到全队最高的单节14分,外加2篮板3助攻1抢断1封盖,填满数据栏。

O'Neal also scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, while defending O'Neal only scored 2 points in the first quarter.

Lin Fei played 6 minutes in the first quarter and made 2 of 2 three-pointers. Although he only scored 6 points and 1 steal, he was the player with the highest plus/minus in the team.

In the 6 minutes of the second half of Lin Fei's game, the Heat played a wave of 19:6, completely crushing the Pacers in terms of offensive and defensive tactics.

Lin Fei walked off the stage with a smile, and took the towel and Gatorade from Tony Allen.

Regarding the current positioning of the team's third scoring point, Lin Fei doesn't have much opinion, and is still very satisfied overall.

With Wade and O'Neal charging forward, Lin Fei will not have too much pressure on the offensive end. He waits for work with ease, and while running to open up space, he is ready to draw his sword at any time.

Put more energy on the defensive end, and constantly improve and polish the defensive attributes, so that Lin Fei's offensive and defensive strength will become more balanced, and he will truly transform into a top 3D.

Once Wade and O'Neal encounter defensive targets and double-teams, Lin Fei's side will naturally get more opportunities to catch and make calls, and his personal data will also rise accordingly.

Rick Carlisle frowned, when Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal were on the court at the same time, and the 3/4 position on the Heat's wing also had a good range,
The Pacers' defense is really difficult to do everything.

Pacers general manager Larry Bird, sitting in the second row behind the Pacers bench, also admired the vision of Heat general manager Pat Riley at this time.

Since the black and white struggle in the 80s, as the leader of the Celtics, "Big Bird" Larry Bird has a deep respect for Pat Riley who coached the Lakers.

The showtime era created by Riley and the Lakers played a huge role in promoting the NBA in the 80s, and also allowed the Lakers to win 80 NBA championships in the 5s.

Although Larry Bird's Celtics also had three championship trophies in the 80s, the Celtics could not compare with the Lakers in terms of team influence and style of play.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Pat Riley and the Lakers in the 80s that the Zijin Army has many fans all over the world and has become the number one giant in the NBA.

After retiring, Larry Bird became the general manager of the Pacers, and he wanted to make a career here. This season can be said to be the best opportunity for him and the Pacers.

Although the Miami Heat got the supernova O'Neal and Lin Fei in the offseason, in Larry Bird's view, the Heat's overall lack of depth in the lineup is nothing to be afraid of.

But now the opening game only played one quarter, and Larry Bird was shocked by the performance of the Heat's Big Three.

Whether it is personal ability or tactical use, this Heat team has completed its transformation.

Wade, O'Neal and Lin Fei, these three guys are not at all like teammates who have just been formed in the new season, but more like old buddies who have played together for several seasons.

What brought the biggest impact to Larry Bird was Wade, who scored 14 points in the first quarter. Even though he lost a meniscus in the league, Wade is still an MVP-level supernova.

In the auditorium on all sides, the fans of the Heat team were overjoyed, and they saw the team's real hope of winning the championship in the Big Three.

"Dwayne has grown too fast this offseason. As long as he has enough possessions, coupled with Shaquille's restricted area and Lin's outside threat, Dwayne's scoring average this season is at least 25+!"

"Averaging 25+ points per game is conservative in my opinion. I really saw the shadow of Michael Jordan in Dwayne's body!"

"That's right, Dwayne is Jordan who is 5 centimeters shorter. If he can cultivate the ability of Jordan and Kobe's fadeaway jumper, he will be really invincible!"

"Shaquille is still the number one center in the league, no one can shake his position in the penalty area!"

"Lin's three-pointer is too accurate. Although he only takes two shots, every time he takes the ball, he feels stable!"

"This is generally good. I feel that he should be given more opportunities in the regular season. Although the defense is a bit worse, the offensive end is better than Haslem!"

On the court, the 120-second intermission ended quickly, and the second quarter started.

Both teams made big rotations in the second quarter.

After all, it is the first stage of the regular season. To rehearse the tactics of the second team, give more opportunities for substitute players to perform, discover potential stocks, and at the same time allow the main players to get more rest and avoid injuries.
In many cases, it is more important than winning the next game.

There are 82 games in the NBA regular season, and it has been nearly 6 months. It is a long process for any team, so it is necessary to make a choice and move forward steadily.

Stan Van Gundy pulled down Wade and O'Neal at the beginning of the second quarter.
Damon Jones and Lin Fei were replaced in the backcourt, Eddie Jones was kept at the small forward, the power forward was still roughly, and the backup center was Michael Doriak.

This bench lineup is indeed very risky, and it seems that Van Gundy is also very experimental.

Rick Carlisle also carried out a wide range of rotations, letting Jermaine O, Artest and Tinsley all rest,

The five rotating tigers replaced are:

Anthony Johnson, Fred Jones, Stephen Jackson, Austin Clothier, Jeff Foster.

The Pacers' bench strength is obviously stronger. When Foster came up, he withstood Doriak under the basket, received the high-profile ball from "Wu Sheng" and dunked directly.

"Boom!"

Looking back, Damon Jones pushed forward with the ball and roughly came to the right near the 45-degree three-point line to cover Lin Fei.

Lin Fei used the cover to get rid of Fred Jones, accelerated and went straight to the right at a 0-degree angle.

It was just a simple screen interspersed, and Fred Jones was delayed in pursuit, and the Pacers' backup power forward Clothier's defense was obviously too slow.

Damon Jones also followed the established tactics and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei at a 0-degree angle on the right.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off calmly and hit another three-pointer.

"Shh!"

After all, it was the regular season, and it was a second-team contest, so the Pacers players couldn't seamlessly switch defenses against Lin Fei.

On the one hand, the physical fitness of the substitute players is limited, and on the other hand, it is also affected by the attitude of the game.

No one will play the regular season as hard as they did in the finals. The Pacers' omissions in the overall defense of the bench gave Lin Fei more opportunities to score easily.

You must know that Lin Fei's shooting ability is superb, but he has been baptized by the Pistons' five tigers in the finals.
Now that it's the regular season, facing most of the team's substitutes, you can definitely shoot whatever you want.

Of course, the premise is that the ball can be passed to your own hands.

This is one reason why Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley kept Lin Fei on the bench,
Facing most of the NBA's bench lineups, Lin Fei's three-pointer must be a dimensionality reduction blow.

Of course, there is another premise here, that is, Lin Fei must be equipped with a good passer,

And Damon Jones and the general who can play in the high position are obviously not good at passing the ball.

The Pacers attacked, and Stephen Jackson, who played with the second team, quickly stood up, and with the help of the center forward's pick-and-roll, he decisively hit a three-pointer from the outside.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei gave a strong response.

In today's Pacers team, Stephen Jackson will average more three-pointers per game than Reggie Miller, leading the team.

And "Wu Sheng"'s three-point shooting rate reached 36%, which is not low.

Ball transfer.

Eddie Jones was naturally angry with Stephen Jackson's provocation, and after coming to the left perimeter, he waved to Damon Jones for the ball.

After all, Eddie Jones was the team's leading scorer last season, and he was also a veteran who had been selected to the All-Stars many times. Damon Jones didn't dare not give the ball to the opponent.

A pick-and-roll from the center was called, Eddie Jones misplaced and forced to break into the penalty area, and there were also small throws near the basket.

"Shh!"

In terms of offensive skills, Eddie Jones is relatively comprehensive, with good outside three-pointers, mid-range jumpers and breakthrough abilities, but he has no advantages or strengths.

It is not unreasonable that Kobe could squat on the bench for two seasons in his peak period, but now 33-year-old Eddie Jones is obviously about to go downhill.

How to trade Eddie Jones is a recent headache for Pat Riley's Heat management.

Logically speaking, he should be allowed to get more possessions and play better data in the first half of his rookie season, so as to facilitate the transaction.

If Eddie Jones's new season data has shrunk significantly, and the management of other teams thinks that this guy is exhausted, it will be even more difficult to trade.

After all, Eddie Jones has an annual salary of more than 1400 million US dollars this season, second only to O'Neal's 2700 million US dollars in the Heat.

Therefore, Pat Riley also asked Stan Van Gundy to give Eddie Jones more playing time and shooting rights as much as possible without hurting the team's chemical reaction and record.

Returning to the defensive end, Eddie Jones this time defended Stephen Jackson with the ball in the high position, showing a first-class perimeter defense level.

The continuous winding press defense made Stephen Jackson almost make a mistake, and the effect of hastily calling the pick-and-roll was not played out. Instead, it formed a communication deviation with the backup power forward.

Taking advantage of the double-teaming that came up after roughly switching defenses, Eddie Jones quickly turned sideways and slapped the ball off the hand of "Wu Sheng".

Steal +1.

After all, he is a first-class forward who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team three times in a row. Lin Fei seems to have seen Kobe's shadow in Eddie Jones.

Moreover, these two guys are indeed somewhat similar in appearance. They are also 198 tall, and coupled with the main-substitute relationship with the Lakers back then, it is hard not to be compared together.

Roughly, this supplementary defense is also very critical. It disrupted Stephen Jackson's rhythm and was a correct defensive choice.

Eddie Jones, who had completed the steal, stepped on the gas pedal after taking the ball and stepped on it. Damon Jones and Lin Fei followed up on the left and right respectively.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Stephen Jackson gritted his teeth and fought back, interfering with Eddie Jones' one-stop layup.

Seeing that Lin Fei suddenly ran back after rushing into the right frontcourt, he made a cross screen with Damon Jones in the diagonal stab, threw off the defender and rushed directly to the left at a 0-degree angle.

At this time, Jamal Tinsley and Fred Jones' defenses were off, and Lin Fei was thrown away by more than three meters.

At this critical moment, Eddie Jones, who dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, saw Lin Fei run out of space. Although he was a little bit dissatisfied with the status of the "group favorite" of this overseas rookie,
However, under the interference of Stephen Jackson, he still chose the safest way to pass the ball directly to the left at a 0-degree angle.

Lin Fei didn't expect that Eddie Jones would pass the ball at the first time, but since he received the ball, he naturally made a decisive shot without saying much.

After all, he is a veteran who has played in the league for more than a dozen seasons. Eddie Jones knows to play in a more reasonable way and will not mix too much personal emotion into the game.

Of course, there is also a very strange point. When seeing Lin Fei running out of space during the fast break, Eddie Jones' hand seemed uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but pass it to Lin Fei.

Because Eddie Jones knows that as long as the ball is passed, 90% of the assists will be obtained.

It was obviously too late for Tinsley's defense. Watching the basketball flying from Lin Fei's fingertips across his head, there was nothing but despair in his eyes.

"Shh!"

the fourth.

Back on defense, Lin Fei also took the initiative to give Eddie Jones a high-five. The Heat once again played a perfect defensive counterattack.

American Airlines Arena roared with cheers.

Wade and O'Neal, who were sitting on the bench beside the court, also applauded their teammates. The counterattack and fast break after the steal were completed, which is the best way to boost the morale of the team.

Lin Fei has already hit 4 three-pointers without saying a word, scoring 12 points, the team is second only to Wade's 14 points.

Back on the defensive end, Stephen Jackson misplaced the pick-and-roll and then hit Lin Fei, using his back to crush Lin Fei.

Lin Fei tried his best to meet him without dodging or evading, his footsteps were steady and his long arms interfered, which also caused a lot of trouble for the "Wu Sheng".

Eddie Jones quickly let go of his preconceived ideas, and rushed forward to double-team Stephen Jackson with Lin Fei.

But Jackson was prepared this time and quickly crossed the ball to Fred Jones who was emptied.

Fred Jones took a step after receiving the ball, made a sudden stop in the middle distance and made a steady hit.

"Shh!"

Eddie Jones' defensive choice was too risky this time, but Stan Van Gundy standing on the sidelines did not blame him, but nodded with a smile.

Eddie Jones in the first quarter was obviously outside the Heat's offensive and defensive system, feeling alienated from the Big Three.

However, the 3-minute cooperation between Lin Fei and Lin Fei in the second quarter has allowed Eddie Jones to quickly find the state of the game and devote himself to both offense and defense.

This is why I have to admire Lin Fei's character and personal charm, his positive and selfless attitude towards the game, which can always infect every teammate on the court.

The Heat came to the offensive end. This time Lin Fei took the initiative to raise Eddie Jones to make a screen during the running process, which delayed Stephen Jackson's defense.

Lin Fei's huge perimeter deterrence made Fred, who switched defenses, hesitate. Eddie Jones took advantage of the situation and turned over with a dribble to leave his opponent behind.

"Shh!"

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle couldn't stand it anymore, and was very dissatisfied with the loose defense of the substitute players, so he quickly called a long timeout.

Eddie Jones also took the initiative to give Lin Fei a high-five, and his prejudice against Lin Fei, a young man, was melting away little by little.

After all, he is 33 years old, and he can't play in the league for a few years, so why bother with a rookie?
Lin Fei, like Wade, is a huge potential stock for the team. A top breakthrough and a three-point shot. Even the league's top center O'Neal knows that he has delegated power. What can't he think about?
It's better to leave more opportunities to young people, and they can also play health-preserving basketball and spend their old age peacefully.

Although Eddie Jones didn't have a big enough reputation in the league, his career was perfect enough. He was selected to the All-Star and the best team, and he also got a big contract of more than 7000 million.

Having figured this out in his heart, Eddie Jones instantly felt much more comfortable emotionally, and when he looked at Lin Fei, he also showed a little more respect and love for the younger generation.

After a timeout, the Pacers replaced Reggie Miller and stepped up their pursuit of Lin Fei. This also allowed Eddie Jones to get more offensive opportunities, scoring 3 points in a row on 2 of 4 shots.

Under the steady performance of Lin Fei and Eddie Jones, the Heat's second team withstood the pressure of the Pacers to chase points. The second quarter reached the official timeout during the quarter and still led the opponent by 11 points.

Lin Fei, who played for 12 consecutive minutes, was also replaced by Stan Van Gundy. Eddie Jones and Da Qi also followed the rest, and Wade and O'Neal returned to the battle.

Without Lin Fei's running cover on the perimeter, the Pacers switched to zone defense again, which reduced the offensive efficiency of Wade and O'Neal again.

But the Heat also did a good job on the defensive end. They played a fast counterattack suddenly, making it very difficult for the Pacers to chase points.

Lin Fei reappeared in the last minute of the first half, and partnered with Wade and O'Neal in a triangle offense. The Pacers focused more on Wade and O'Neal in defense.

Lin Fei also seized the opportunity to receive an assist from Wade and hit a three-pointer against Reggie Miller's defense.

"Shh!"

the fifth.

Reggie Miller was obviously suspected of being a thug, but the referee's whistle did not sound.

The advantage of the Heat after halftime is even more obvious.

Heat (54): (39) Pacers.

Already leading the opponent by 15 points.

Lin Fei played 13 minutes in the first half, made all 5 three-pointers, scored 15 points and 1 steal.

Wade scored a team-high 17 points, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His performance was the most comprehensive, with both offense and defense everywhere.

奥尼尔10分6篮板2助攻1封盖,埃迪·琼斯6分,大致和达蒙·琼斯也都有得分进账。

"Lin is really accurate, 5 of 5 in the half, this three-point shot, not to mention the 39-year-old Miller can't stand it, even the peak Miller has to bow down!"

"The characteristics of Lin's style really match Dwayne and Shaquille too well. This year, our Heat will definitely soar and achieve good results!"

"It's a pity that Lin can't dribble, otherwise he would be really invincible!"

"It seems that Lin only scored 21 points in the regular season last season. Haha, this is a match tonight!"

"The Pacers are a strong player in the Eastern Conference. If we can easily win the Pacers, then the championship will definitely not be too far away!"

"It's too early to say the championship, I just want to see Dwayne, Shaquille and Lin all enter the All-Star this year!"

During the intermission, in the auditorium of the American Airlines Arena, Heat fans were talking enthusiastically, full of expectations for the team's record in the new season.

On the square outside the American Airlines Arena, rows of palm trees were blown by the sea breeze, and the night view of the city was magnificent.

Thousands of local Miami fans also gathered in the square, watching the live broadcast of the game on the big screen, while exercising, chatting and walking.

After the start of the third quarter, Lin Fei played hand in hand with Wade and O'Neal, with Eddie Jones and Haslem,
If you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue, expand the score to lock in the victory in advance.

The Pacers are still the starting five.

Rick Carlisle arranged a new defensive strategy in response to the team's defensive problems in the first half, and the adjustment ability of the Eastern powerhouses was also fully demonstrated.

When Wade was holding the ball and Lin Fei was covering, the two Pacers guards immediately came up to double-team Wade, which caught Wade a little off guard.
After all, he is only a second-year rookie with bursting talents but lacks experience. Wade is not cautious enough in dealing with double-teaming.

Coupled with Reggie Miller's fierce pressing, Wade sent two consecutive pass errors.

In response to the changes in defense, Wade no longer played screens with Lin Fei, but directly used his personal ability to force his way to the basket.

Tinsley deliberately contracted very tight, coupled with Artest's timely supplementary defense, which made Wade choose more mid-range shots, or split the ball to O'Neal and Haslem.

But Haslem's mid-range is not accurate, and O'Neill is entangled by O'Neill again. Once he takes the ball and makes a strong attack, he will slash the shark fiercely.

O'Neal, who got to the free throw line, still can only perform about 50% of the time.

Reggie Miller was very active in chasing Lin Fei, and Wade's passing route was also intentionally blocked.
The Pacers put up a playoff-level defense in the third quarter, which made the Heat's offense unable to match for a while.

Under the ebb and flow, the Pacers launched a wave of aggressive point-chasing offensives in the third quarter. Jermaine O'Neill and his guard teammates made successive pick-and-rolls.

Coupled with Stephen Jackson's two consecutive corner three-pointers, this allowed the Pacers to quickly narrow the point difference to single digits.

Fortunately, the Heat also made adjustments in time. Although the Big Three couldn't open the situation for a while,
But Eddie Jones found his form on the weak side, and his shots became hotter and hotter. Facing Stephen Jackson's consecutive breakthrough singles, he made 5 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 11 points with free throws.

Lin Fei also borrowed two consecutive screens from Haslem and Eddie Jones in a frontcourt run, and quickly retreated to a position two meters away from the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Reggie Miller was delayed by half a beat to catch up after being delayed, and Stephen Jackson was afraid of Eddie Jones' fiery touch and didn't switch defenses immediately.

In addition, Lin Fei quickly retreated to two meters away from the three-point line in the running position. This kind of sudden stop and retreat is sharp and quick, and it is also easy to confuse the pursuers.

"Whoosh!"

Eddie Jones keenly spotted this opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Lin Fei behind him.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off decisively, bowed his bow and set an arrow, and Lightning shot a super long three-pointer.

"Shh!"

and also.

sixth.

After the third quarter, the Pacers, with their better offensive and defensive performance, played a wave of 25:19 in a single quarter, chasing the point difference to single digits.

Wade only scored 4 points on 1 of 2 shots in the third quarter. Once he can't reach the basket, his technical shortcomings in shooting will still be quite obvious.

After the start of the last quarter, Stan Van Gundy made tactical adjustments, letting the fiery Eddie Jones replace Wade and hold the ball at a high position at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Give Lin Fei a ball-holding screen, and at the same time form an offensive triangle with O'Neal who is in the low post.

With such a sudden change, the Pacers' defense has not been adjusted well, double-teaming is neither retreat nor defense,

So Jones made a mid-range shot by himself, and assisted Lin Fei to hit another three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, the ball was transferred to Wade on the weak side outside. Tinsley released it too much. Wade had no psychological burden and decisively tried an outside three-pointer.

"Shh!"

This ball is also hit.

Although Wade's three-pointers are poor, they are about 28%. If he is left too open, he can still hit them.

What's more, since Lin Fei became a new teammate, the players in the Heat's lineup have gradually begun to practice three-pointers.

The Heat came up with a wave of 8:3 in the last quarter and caught the Pacers by surprise. Rick Carlisle could only call a timeout to adjust.

It is not a long-term way to double-team the ball holder after encountering a pick-and-roll. Once Wade is mentally prepared, this double-team will be very risky.

After a timeout, Haslem was roughly replaced, and the Heat focused on offense.

Lin Fei, Da Da, and Jones all opened up enough space on the outside and the bottom corner,

Wade and O'Neal played pick-and-rolls in the high post. O'Neal's huge body stuck Tinsley tightly, which made Jermaine O'Neal have to make up for Wade's breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Wade quickly passed the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal, who turned around and slid down, caught the ball and threw away Jermaine O'Neill, striding into the penalty area, ignoring Artest, who was defending, and jumped up and dunked directly.

"Boom!"

The Heat changed their tactics continuously, which made the Pacers hard to guard against, and Rick Carlisle on the sidelines also frowned.

The possession of the ball was changed, and Reggie Miller used the cover to run away from Lin Fei, catch the ball and hit a key three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Looking back, Wade continued to pick and roll with O'Neal, and attracted Artest's double-team during the breakthrough. He turned over and accurately passed back to the roughly 45-degree outside line on the left.

Roughly, the wide open space let out a long sigh of relief, and decisively shot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little off the sight, and the iron missed.

"Snapped!"

But the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal against O'Neill. Seeing that O'Neal was about to make another dunk, O'Neill quickly pushed O'Neal hard.

But Xiao Ao still underestimated O'Neill's huge tonnage.

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, O'Neill made a strong dunk against O'Neill's push, and the tempered backboard shook violently.

After landing on the ground, O'Neill raised his chin proudly, and shouted angrily at Xiao Ao:

"Could you please work harder, I don't feel it at all!"

"Beep!"

The referee whistles, 2+1.

"Bang!"

O'Nealga, who walked to the free throw line, missed the free throw, but Wade rushed to the basket with lightning speed. With his extraordinary bullet speed, he even grabbed the offensive rebound first over the heads of Jermaine O'Neal and Artest.

"Snapped!"

After landing, Wade, relying on his excellent second take-off ability, directly jumped sideways and had to send a supplementary buckle.

But Artest's defense was very savage. He slapped Wade on the shoulder directly, pulling the opponent down from the air abruptly.

"boom!"

"Beep!"

Wade fell to the ground in response to Artest's savage foul, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Directly gave Artest a first-level flagrant foul.

The Heat fans at home were a little angry, cursing Artest's brutal behavior.

O'Neal also rushed up to support his younger brother Wade, yelling at Artest:
"Hey man, are you fucking here to box? If you can't play ball, get out of here. Miami fans don't welcome you!"

Artest always looked stunned. Facing the provocation of the big shark, he snorted coldly with disdain:
"Shaquille, I know you're afraid of my fists because I can knock you out with one punch!"

O'Neill laughed angrily, but he didn't dare to rush up to make gestures with Artest:

"Ron, you have the guts to come up and punch me right now, and I will definitely let you leave the American Airlines Arena on your stomach!"

The referee immediately stopped the yelling of the two, and gave a stern gesture, and both of them would be expelled if they quarreled again.

Lin Fei and Eddie Jones ran up to pull Wade up and asked about his physical condition.

After all, judging from Artest's tugging just now, it was really a bit scary.

Wade got up and puffed his cheeks, his eyes were full of confidence: "I feel great, it's not that easy for this guy to hurt me!"

Watching Wade come back from the ground full of blood, walk to the free throw line with domineering steps,

Lin Fei couldn't help feeling a little moved. Perhaps it was because Wade was too conceited about his body and didn't know how to control and cherish it, which led to the long and intermittent history of injuries.

Compared with Wade, James obviously knows how to manage his career, and at the same time maintain his health.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Wade, who got to the free throw line, made both free throws.

The first-level criminal made two free throws and one throw, and the Heat still had the ball.

Artest's first-level malicious foul came very unwisely, allowing the Heat to expand the point difference to 15 points again.

After forbearance in the third quarter, Wade was in full swing at the end of the quarter, using a cover to break through the restricted area and then making an emergency stop shot, and the basketball hit the net.

"Shh!"

With the hit of this goal, Wade has scored 27 points tonight, the highest in the game.

Artest, who was a little out of control emotionally, came to the offensive end and asked the point guard for the ball impatiently. On the other hand, he turned around after a savage confrontation and was about to rush to the basket.

Roughly, he stood in a fixed position with his feet, and his prediction was accurate to block Artest's breakthrough line, and he was directly knocked to the ground by the strong body of the beast.

"Beep!"

Artest was too hasty this time, and was directly whistled for an offensive foul by the referee.

Lin Fei and Wade rushed up to pull up roughly, and sent encouragement together.

"Wang, well done!"

"Generally, your defense was very successful this time!"

He roughly got up and rubbed his aching chest, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Improving defense is roughly the key factor for gaining a foothold in the NBA today. Since one's physical fitness cannot be changed, then redouble his efforts in terms of defensive skills and game attitude.

Artest, who was returning to defense, stared at the referee fiercely, and he couldn't hide his gaze of wanting to kill.

Rick Carlisle was afraid that Artest would become the team's time bomb again, so he quickly replaced Artest at the next dead ball time.

Without Artest's defense, O'Neal practiced Jermaine O'Neal in the low post at the basket. After receiving the ball, his footsteps wobbled, and he turned over and hit another hook.

"Shh!"

Xiao Ao came to the offensive end and used the pick-and-roll to catch the ball, and his high-post jumper still hit the iron.

"Bang!"

O'Neill's performance tonight was very poor, and he only scored 9 points on 3-of-7 shots. Although O'Neal didn't score many points, he managed to limit O'Neill's performance on the defensive end.

The offensive end does not contend for the ball, he is willing to actively pick and roll for the guards, and the defensive end works hard to protect the basket and actively fight for rebounds. Such a big Shark O'Neal really makes Heat fans have to love it.

But it also made Lakers fans feel strange.

Although Xiao Ao's ball bounced off the basket, Stephen Jackson grabbed the offensive rebound and made a direct tip-up.

"Shh!"

Eddie Jones' defense of the ball was a little distracted. He also raised a hand with a smile, signaling to his teammates that this was a problem with his own marking.

With a big lead in the final quarter, it is inevitable for the players to relax on the defensive end.

After all, this is just a regular season, and as long as there are no major accidents, the Heat basically have no problem winning the game.

In the team's subsequent counterattack fast break,

Lin Fei also seized the opportunity of the Pacers' chasing and defending omissions. He made a sharp counter-run to the right 45-degree angle beyond the three-point line, received a pass from Wade, pulled up and shot another.

"Shh!"

the seventh.

Heat (88): (70) Pacers.

With Lin Fei's chasing three-pointer, the Heat have already led by 18 points.

On the timer, there are only 6 minutes and 12 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

Lin Fei made all 7 three-pointers tonight, added a free throw for a technical foul, and scored 22 points, just paying tribute to his jersey number.

When the game entered the official timeout, Stan Van Gundy also took advantage of the opportunity to replace Lin Fei, and patted Lin Fei's shoulder as he walked off the field with a smile:

"Lin, you completed your task perfectly tonight, Mr. Riley and I are proud of you!"

Lin Fei also responded confidently: "Coach, the fan atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena is really great. I like it here. I hope I can make more shots in the next game!"

Lin Fei played 29 minutes off the bench tonight. He made all 7 three-pointers and 1 free throw. He also contributed 1 key steal on the defensive end. He also had many successful solo defenses and assist defenses.

Compared with Lin Fei in the playoffs last season, Lin Fei in the new season has made great progress on the defensive end, and he is no longer the colander that is infinitely targeted by offensive players.

Seeing Lin Fei being replaced, the Heat fans at home also cheered and applauded.

There is no doubt that Lin Fei is one of the main contributors to the Heat's win tonight.

He made 7 of 7 three-pointers. This scoring efficiency is really unparalleled. It is completely a bug on the court.

If Lin Fei only has a regular three-point shooting rate of about 7 of 3 shots, then the gap of 4 three-pointers is left, and it is very likely that the Heat will only lead the Pacers by about 5 points.
Then the suspense of the final outcome of the game is still huge.

Back from the timeout, Tony Allen replaced Lin Fei and was roughly replaced by backup power forward Malik Allen, and O'Neal was replaced by Michael Doriak.

The two main players, Wade and Eddie Jones, remained on the court and stabilized the situation for a few more minutes.

After all, it is not too safe to lead by 6 points in the last 18 minutes. If all the main players are withdrawn so early, it is very likely that the Pacers will complete a major reversal.

In addition, Wade has already scored 27 points tonight, and Stan Van Gundy pushed the boat along the way and asked him to break through the 30-point mark as much as possible. This is also a great encouragement for the growth of the team's new leader.

Eddie Jones is being actively sought by the management for a trade, so naturally he should play more and play more beautiful data in order to have greater trade value.

Sitting on the bench, Lin Fei chatted with Da Da with a smile on his face. Watching Tony Allen make his debut as a substitute tonight, he also cheered for the rookie in his heart.

If Lin Fei is willing, he can naturally play for another three to five minutes in the last quarter. With his current physical condition and being partnered with two superstars Wade O'Neal, playing for less than 5 minutes is not a big problem.

However, when the team had an obvious advantage, Lin Fei still chose to leave the field early, which also gave the backup defender more playing time.

Especially Tony Allen, a future defensive champion, needs to polish the game on the court.

The Heat must be united as a whole to have a chance to win more games and launch an impact towards the championship.

Although Lin Fei is not the leader of the Heat now, he will eventually become the leader of an NBA team in the future.

Therefore, we must cultivate our temperament and demeanor as a team leader from now on.

With Wade's sharp breakthrough, he strayed to the basket and scored two points. His personal score tonight also officially broke through the 30 mark, reaching 31 points.

On the timer, the game lasted to the last 3 minutes in the final quarter.

The Heat still lead the Pacers by 17 points, and the game can be said to have no suspense.

Stan Van Gundy took the initiative to call a timeout and replaced Wade, but still left Eddie Jones on the court to score.

On the Pacers side, Rick Carlisle also replaced the main force with a wave of his hand, disarming and surrendering early.

After all, it is only the opening game of the regular season, and if you lose, you lose. The most important thing is to sum up the experience after the game.

The next time he returns to home against the Heat, Carlisle must not lose to Van Gundy again on the spot.

Wade, who came off the court, waved his arms towards the audience, and was greeted with cheers and applause from the fans.

韦德今晚全场出战37分钟,20投12中,三分1中1,罚球8中6,狂轰31分6篮板9助攻2抢断1封盖,是当之无愧的全场MVP。

林飞的7个三分球22分1抢断,还有奥尼尔的16分10篮板3助攻2封盖,和韦德的全面表现相辅相成,
The opening game debut of the Heat's Big Three not only amazed the Heat fans, but also the entire league.

比赛很快结束,埃迪·琼斯今晚也拿到了24分5篮板4助攻1抢断,同样无愧于自己1300多万美刀的年薪。

Heat (106): (89) Pacers.

With a hearty victory, won the regular season of the 04-05 season off to a good start.

Memphis.

Office of the Grizzlies general manager.

Seeing that the Heat beat the Pacers at home and got a good start to the new season, the starting small forward Eddie Jones also had a good performance of 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

As the general manager, the LOGO man Jerry West also began to loosen his mind.

Looking up at the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown sitting opposite, West said:

"In our starting lineup, there is indeed a lack of a suitable forward scorer. Although Eddie Jones is 33 years old, he is still a small forward with an average of 20+ per game! There are at least two years to peak!"

"I was very aware of his technical characteristics when I was in the Lakers. The weakened version of Kobe, he and Gasol can achieve good results!"

Coach Hubie Brown nodded and said: "Eddie Jones is indeed suitable for the team. Now we have no good second scoring points except for one Paul Gasol in our lineup!"

"I don't know what bargaining chips the Heat want? If it's suitable, we can trade as soon as possible!"

Jerry West said calmly: "Pat Riley is willing to send Eddie Jones, Rasul Butler and Kenyon Doolin, and wants to get Jason William from us." James and Shane Battier!"

Hubie Brown frowned and said: "Jason Williams has not played one year with the Grizzlies in the past three seasons. It is not necessarily a bad thing to trade him away! Put Earl Watson in the starting lineup The effect on the point guard should not be too bad!"

"Since Eddie Jones is going to be exchanged, it is better to send Sean Battier away. If the Heat are willing to send another first-round pick, I feel that this deal can be finalized!"
