Center first

Chapter 138 The Power of Old Bones
Now Spoelstra looks at the Heat's roster and finds that the number of people available to him has suddenly increased. It can be said that any one picked up from the bench can be put on the field to play his role. It is necessary to consider the issue of lineup running-in, but now I find that these doubts are really superfluous.

The speed at which these three old guys integrated into the team can be said to be beyond imagination. They all know what the Heat lack now. They have been in this league for so many years. Maybe they will be better than the team. The head coaches are more accurate in seeing things. Of course they know why Riley signed them.

Now that Jamal Magloire has been activated from the injured list, the Heat's insiders have not experienced any inconvenient personnel conversion because of Blount's trade.Jamal Magloire, a center who was once highly expected, can fully fill or improve the depth of the Heat's inside bench with the technical level shown in training.

Lin Yi's starting center position is already unshakable, now Jamal Magloire, Haslem, McDyess, Robert Horry, can all stand inside, so not only the center position is no longer Lack of rotation capital, even the problem of offensive power at the power forward position has been resolved.

It can now be said that no matter what kind of opponent the Heat encounter, at least in terms of the competition for the inside line, they are no longer afraid of the opponent's changes.Regardless of whether you have a pitcher-type inside configuration or a combination like a muscular stick, they can form a corresponding lineup to deal with it. Lin Yi can also have more time to replenish his physical strength. It's been a few minutes.

At the small forward position, there will not be a sharp drop in offensive firepower due to Marion's rest. The main task of Moon Man is to defend the opponent's swingman. His poor scoring ability has always been a heart problem for the Heat. .However, now Jerry Stackhouse can provide his own fire support at any time. This guy who is extremely hungry for scoring can now enjoy the right to fire as soon as he gets off the bench.

Of course, that was in the absence of Wade, Spoelstra is still more appropriate to position Jerry Stackhouse as a bench bandit.The current starting team has enough firepower, and what needs to be supplemented urgently is the offensive ability of the substitute. Otherwise, Cook, who can only shoot three-pointers, will not be able to achieve anything.

After this trade, the defense line that has always been weak has been fully supplemented. Raja Bell's three-pointers and emergency stop jump shots have always been his housekeeping skills. Now his level is the same as when he was in the Suns. There is no difference, and this guy's defensive skills may be the strongest guard in the Heat right now.

Mario Chalmers has already matured after half a season of training. Although he still can't reach the commanding ability of those top point guards, he already has Wade, who is very capable of holding the ball, as a charge. Distributing the ball is fine, and the first-year guy never shoots indiscriminately, which is the most remarkable thing about a point guard.

Dual energy guard, forget it, it means dual incapacity, few guys with abnormal talents can really interpret this name.As long as you do your own job well, those who are capable will work harder, but only if you are that capable, and don’t do things beyond your ability. This is the way to survive.

Needless to say, this guy Wade, the whole team can play such a good result, except for Lin Yi who is thriving in the interior, because Wade has returned to the game, this guy with lightning speed has now become As a symbol of Miami, he is also doing what a leader should do, leading this resurrected team to move forward, no matter who the guy in front of him is, he will urge the blazing flame to burn the opponent.

Cook, Wright, Diawara, these guys on the bench are all gearing up. Although they are not the protagonists on the court, they will use their actions to win their honor, and they will also let the American Airlines Center Fanatical cheers erupted in the arena.

The Heat, which has completed lineup integration, ushered in the Chicago Bulls, who have been equally fierce recently, at their home court. Lin Yi wants to win the best rookie award. champion.

Just like Lin Yi was in the Heat, Derrick Rose quickly established himself as the core point guard of the Bulls from the beginning of the season. This guy born in Chicago, Illinois, conquered with his perfect performance. Fans at the United Center.

Now the fans in Chicago worship this great kid as they worshiped Jordan, because his strong performance is enough to make the Bulls fans who have fallen into the bottom go crazy. Everyone is imagining that the former basketball god is back. This little guy with super singles ability will lead the Bulls to challenge all enemies like Jordan at the beginning, and reshape a new Bulls dynasty.

Derrick Rose also wanted to directly defeat Lin Yi in this match, making the possibility of his opponent competing for the best rookie completely a dream.It's a pity that Lin Yi's opponent in this game is not him, Aaron Gray and Noah are the guys he has to deal with, and he also discovered early that Noah has been observing him since the warm-up.

However, from the pre-match video, Lin Yi really couldn't see what kind of trouble the Bulls' inside line would cause him. He only needed to pay attention to those guys who broke through from the outside line.Aaron Gray?What is that, a guy who averages less than four points and four rebounds per game, does he need to be careful?

However, Lin Yi still underestimated the opponent's offensive ability. In the first offense of the Bulls after the opening, Chalmers' missed defense allowed Derrick Rose to slip directly into the three-second zone. The moment he stepped out of the step, Rose had already passed the basketball in his hand to Lin Yi's back.

Noah had been waiting there for a long time. His dunk after receiving the ball combined with his crazy celebration performance made the American Airlines Center silent for a few seconds. After all, such a goal was scored by the opponent just after the game started. , it still had a slight impact on the morale of the fans.

"Boy, see clearly, I, Noah, am the MOP winner of the NCAA, you guy who has only made it to the Final Four once, stand aside!!! I'm a fucking champion, you loser!!! "Noah shook his strong arms to demonstrate to Lin Yi.

Since Lin Yi entered the league, the coaches of many teams have been there as a template for the new generation of centers.With his and the Heat's performance getting better and better, he has also become a thorn in the eyes of many insiders of the team. These guys are holding back their energy to teach this kid a lesson. cause of jealousy.

McDyess was marking Tyrus just now. Thomas didn't have time to return to the defense, so he could only watch Noah complete his arrogant performance. He was a little worried when he saw Lin Yi who had no echo. He was afraid that Noah's arrogant face would make Lin Yi As soon as he lost his mind, he quickly grabbed Lin Yi's jersey and signaled him to calm down.

"En? What's the matter?" Lin Yi looked at McDyess' gesture and was a little puzzled, but he figured out why in a blink of an eye.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just wondering why this guy scored a goal as if he was on a dope. The game has just started, and it's not that they have won. As for being so happy?" Lin turned around and talked with McDavid. asked.

"Understand, if your average score per game is less than seven points, I think you can understand why he is so excited, don't forget, you are their envious target now, few insiders can enter Since the alliance has been so concerned, you should be satisfied." McDyess patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said.

"So miserable? Less than seven points? Doesn't that mean that he can only score four points in the next 40 minutes? Isn't this a crime!!!" Lin Yi's answer made the guys around him speechless. Wade knew that this kid's revenge mentality was coming up again, poor Noah, poor MOP, just wait and suffer.

The NBA is like a battlefield. It is the most suitable place to resolve personal grievances, because its rhythm can be exactly like boxing. When someone punches you, you can immediately punch you back in the next round, so the current newspapers in the NBA always have to Much faster than others.

Before Nuoah could close his wildly laughing mouth, Lin Yi was already in front of him.Wade intended to help this guy use the most direct method to fight back. He didn't choose his best breakthrough, but directly hoisted the ball in. Lin Yi leaned on Noah's body to catch the ball firmly. .

Noah's messy-haired head was sticking behind Lin Yi, but Lin Yi didn't intend to appreciate the opponent's hairstyle, he just used the quick movement of his feet, and a feint to the left deceived Noah's defensive center of gravity .After wiping it in, Lin Yi used a simple feint to wipe past Noah's side. The space in front of him was so wide that he was already a little embarrassed.

Tit for tooth, the force from Lin Yi's hands made the basket make painful sounds. He used his own hands to pull back Noah's arrogance just now, and the cheers in the American Airlines Center rang out. This is Lin Yi. The first effect.

"My biggest hobby is to play MOP. Hansbrook is the first, and you are the second. Remember one thing, don't think about what performances you can make in the halftime there, or I will put You fly out of this arena, if you don't want to be on the beach in Miami, don't come near my place."

Lin Yi told this guy with messy hair with his eyes that he was not joking, if you really want to slap him without dignity, you can try it.

Lin Yi is just like what he said to Noah. In the next game, the Heat's basket seemed to put a cover on Noah. , Knowing thoroughly what an iron-walled defense is.Lin Yi's hands were always between him and the basket, and he was so tight that he didn't even give him any chance to make a shot. The two reluctant shots could only be self-defeating to provide Lin Yi with a chance to perform a blocking shot.

Although Lin Yi made the Bulls team composed of Noah and Thomas feel embarrassed inside, they did not quickly open the score between the two teams. They were still entangled for more time in the first quarter. Entanglement, this has almost become a habitual pattern of the Heat, they are usually in the second or third quarter before it is possible to hit one or two small climaxes to widen the gap between them and their opponents.

They rely more on their young physical fitness to deal with their opponents, rather than relying on grasping the rhythm to win. This is an inevitable problem for young teams. They play with full of passion. Maybe they will shake the nerves of the fans in every quarter. The excitement was going crazy, but they couldn't grasp the situation on the field.They can play exquisite coordination, but they can't rely on these things to establish an unshakable advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat only led by 30 points at 26:4. They always showed enough vitality on the court, but they lacked enough control. Open a hole for the opponent to come out.

The offense of Lin Yi and Wade played normally in the first quarter. Lin Yi scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocks, and Wade scored [-] points and [-] assists. Their offense is the source of scoring for the entire Heat team. , but few people have considered, what will happen if these two guys are not on the court one day, can they just surrender?

This is the hidden danger that Riley sees. He throws these old guys into the team to make the whole team on the right track. He asks everyone to contribute their own strength, not just rely on Lin Yi and Wei Wei The power of two people.Combining, he wants to use these two most prominent offensive points to drive the explosion of the entire team.

Ben Gordon and Derrick Rose are the key to the opponent's ability to keep on clinging to the score. Chalmers and Wade's defenses are often played by Chalmers and Wade's defense. The running range of these two guys It is very big, and they will use the cover of their teammates to find the shot point. Their touch is so hot that it is outrageous. Although the Heat can always rely on the advantage of the inside to consume the opponent's shooting percentage, but that is not Spoelstra. want to see the result.

Take the initiative to limit the opponent. Only by frustrating the opponent's attack can the Heat have the opportunity to control the rhythm of the game, and the inside advantage can continue to be enlarged.Paralyzed, so that the Bulls' offensive double-edged paralyzed from this moment, Spoelstra made a substitution decision.

Raja Bell replaced Chalmers and Horry replaced McDyess.Although McDyess's offensive firepower is much stronger than that of Horry, but his research on defense is still not as smooth as this old killer.Thomas often pulls to the outside to cover for Rose and Gordon, and McDyess often loses control of Rose and others when switching defenses. This is why the Bulls have a high breakthrough success rate in the game just now.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Derrick Rose found that his opponent had been replaced by an old guy. He would not care about it. No matter who was marking him, he would not stop his breakthrough. Attacking the opponent's inside line, he believes that the Bulls will find a chance to reverse sooner or later.

Ross looked at the neutral position on the inside, and he still signaled Thomas to continue to come out to open up space for him later. Although the guy on the inside had already changed to someone else, when the Bulls didn't plan to change their tactics, they still had to rely on Attack open spots on the inside of the opponent.

In the pick-and-roll, Thomas was also ready to mention the high post to block Raja Bell's defensive line at any time, but he didn't notice that there was a tail behind him.Dislocation, Rose wanted to quickly get rid of Raja Bell's marking during the high-speed dribbling process. He kept changing his breakthrough center of gravity, trying to break the opponent's defense with his fast-paced dribbling.

Left?right?Ross was trying to make a breakthrough in the way he used to deal with Chalmers, but he found that no matter how he changed his fake moves, he couldn't make the guy in front of him respond in any way. The hand that was watching him dribble hit his soft belly with the tip of his elbow intentionally or unintentionally.

Rose reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​a one-on-one duel, because he found that he was about to be pushed to the sideline by this clingy guy, so he could only turn around to open the distance between the two and start organizing the attack again.

The secret signal, the meaning revealed in Rose's eyes, of course Thomas understood, he quickly rushed out from the inside, ready to once again open up for Rose's breakthrough.

Accelerate, although Bell's hand is still interfering with Rose's forward route, but Rose still chooses to accelerate the breakthrough, he wants to use his teammates as a wall to get rid of this clingy guy.

The moment he passed Thomas shoulder to shoulder, Bell's annoying hands finally opened up around his body, and Rose just wanted to break through to vent his depressed emotions.However, he soon found that his wishful thinking was in vain. In front of him was not an empty open field, but a black and strong old guy blocking there, and he was about to hit it, so he could only drive at a high speed. Forcibly changing his center of gravity while running, trying to get into the three-second zone from the side.

"Pa", after a not loud voice, Rose found that the basketball in his hand had disappeared, and the basketball that had been in his hands seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.When he looked back, he found that Bell, who had been pestering him for a long time, was using a ground pass to help Wade make a quick counterattack.

Ross didn't know what happened just now, maybe when he went back to watch the video, he could clearly find that at the moment he used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Bell, Horry was already stuck in the route he was about to break through. On the road, when he forcibly twisted his body and tried to wipe away Hori, there was a ghostly shadow behind him.

With a light touch, Bell broke the basketball from Rose's hand with only a small effort, and the subsequent counterattack did not stop at all. From stealing the ball to scoring, they only took less than four seconds. It was originally a trap designed by him and Horry based on the Bulls' first quarter coordination routine.

Want to get rid of Bell's defense so easily?Please, you are so naive, this guy will not let you go so easily even if it is a foul, these two old guys just made it clear that they designed a trap for Ross to drill himself, this is the wisdom of the old fritters, of course, you also It can be said that this is experience.

Later in the game, the Bulls finally knew what these old guys could bring to the Heat. Bell's magic hand never left Rose's body.Mean?Well, this guy is so despicable, otherwise how would he stop that Mr. 81 points.

Horry's role in the interior is even more insidious. He and Lin Yi often have to switch positions because of the opponent's pick-and-roll, but he will handle this switch naturally, trying not to make any loopholes in the rotation defense process.Now Noah not only has to face the pressure from Lin Yi, but more often he has to bear the threat of Horry's black feet protruding from nowhere. He has fallen in the penalty area of ​​the Heat more than once Handed in, luckily his teeth are still alive.

When Jerry Stackhouse came off the bench, the Heat's new players were all unveiled. Soon, the Bulls found that Marion's rest did not have any reduction in the Heat's offensive firepower. , On the contrary, it became crazy with the appearance of Stackhouse.

Shooting, shooting, non-stop shooting, even Wade will applaud Stackhouse's shooting when he is off the court. This old guy uses his shooting to destroy the Bulls' nerves. The suffocated desire to attack in Dallas is here Completely blown out, the poor Bulls' basket was constantly being washed by his shots from the moment he came on the court.

And the most useful thing these old guys bring is not their scoring and defense, but what time they know to limit the opponent, under what conditions to organize a counterattack, and at what time to apply defense to the opponent Pressure, how to use your own advantages to quickly open the gap.

Their experience has been fully reflected in this game. They will make the game easier, allowing their main players to get enough rest time, so that those substitutes can get more playing time.Riley's intention to introduce them was completed in the first official game. The speed at which these old guys integrated into the team made Spoelstra feel like a miracle.

They are old, but these old bones have their survival skills. They can understand the core content of the game. They are much more organized, they have what they do best.

The current Heat team has become more ferocious and terrifying because of their arrival. These old guys are always a bit older, but the sharp teeth that have been hidden can still bite the throat of any opponent.

These old bones are indeed hard enough, or you can ask Noah why he still clutched his stomach when he left the field, sometimes the old bones can really solve a lot of things.
