The NBA system urges me to pay back the money

Chapter 187 186. The new season begins.
The joining of Boozer and Wade made the Heat's strength surge.

During the team's training, Boozer can carry people inside and can also pull out mid-range shots, which made Haslem who defended him very uncomfortable.

Wade's breakthrough ability surprised Qin Xiong even more.

This guy is like a small tank. Most people can't stop him from charging with the ball, and the impact is so powerful.

What surprised Qin Xiong even more was yet to come.

On October 10, the preseason kicked off, and the Heat challenged Mosaic away.

After the NBA's three-point line is shortened to 6.75 meters, a center like Dayao, who is bulky and slow but has a strong inside dominance, is the biggest beneficiary.

The defensive range has shrunk!

Qin Xiong thought it would be more troublesome to play mosaics, because he didn't plan to cheat in this game, and wanted to see the real performance of Wade and Boozer.

In this preseason game, Qin Xiong only played for more than ten minutes before slipping away, leaving Wade and Boozer on the court to see how good he is.

As a result... Qin Xiong was quite satisfied with the effect.

The cooperation of Boozer and Wade made Mosaic suffer.

When Wade holds the ball, Boozer pulls out to cover, Yao doesn't follow up, Boozer has a mid-range shot; follow up, Wade passes Yao by one step with super fast speed.

dilemma!

After a few preseason games, with Qin Xiong not playing much time, the Heat have a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, which is a good performance.

Last season, the Heat's preseason performance was mediocre. Riley temporarily resigned as the head coach, causing the media to be unfavorable to the Heat. As a result, the Heat not only broke the regular season record created by the Bulls Dynasty, but also broke the Lakers' ancient winning streak.

In the playoffs, he won the championship in one go.

Whether Riley regrets it is unknown. Anyway, the fledgling Van Gundy picked up a big deal and became a champion coach right after his debut. His luck is so good that no one can beat him.

The Heat performed well in the preseason this season, and the US media directly ranked the Heat first.

There are not many changes in other teams this season, and the reinforcement is also limited. It is definitely not enough for the Heat who have been supplemented in the lineup.

On November 11, the regular season officially begins.

The opening game consists of the Heat vs Pacers, Mavericks vs Kings, Lakers vs Nuggets.

Among them, the opening game between the Heat and the Pacers is the focus of the first round.

There are many things to watch in the game between the Pacers and the Heat, and the league and various media are promoting it.

The Pacers were second in the Eastern Conference last season and lost when they competed with the Heat for a spot in the finals. This season, the Pacers, who have the league's top center, must defeat the Heat if they want to break through the ceiling of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Second, Ao Pang is also the loser of the Heat.If the Sharks still want to enter the finals after traveling east, the Heat must pass the hurdle.

The two key factors are superimposed, and the battle at the American Airlines Arena is given various meanings.

"Shaq switched to Indiana, and the Pacers have been greatly strengthened. Regarding the game at the American Airlines Arena...Sir Charles, what do you want to say to the audience in front of the TV?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Kenny Smith, who was in charge of explaining this focus battle, asked Barkley.

"Humph!"

Barkley snorted twice: "Shaq couldn't handle Jack with the help of Kobe, Payton, and Malone when he was in the Lakers. Now it's absolutely terrible to come to the East. Many fans may never see Shaq appear in the Finals again." There is a figure..."

"Are you so pessimistic about the Pacers?" Smith yelled twice: "You can't belittle Shaq just because you had a fight with Shaq?"

Barkley smiled meaningfully, just kidding!His great Sir Charles was the winner. O'Pang was knocked to the ground and couldn't even get up.

Why is he belittling Shaq?
"Although Shaq has strengthened the strength of the Pacers, the Heat have also been strengthened. Their [-]nd and [-]th positions have changed obviously... The most important thing is that Jack is still in Miami, which is why I am not optimistic about the Pacers. reason!"

Smith was speechless.

In fact, Barkley's previous series of remarks are all nonsense, and the last sentence is what is in his heart.

As long as Super Jack is still in Miami, who can handle the Heat?

Unless you build an All-Star team!
Both TNT commentators are not optimistic about the Pacers.

Although the league has introduced new regulations for superjacks, the new regulations are not so much restricting superjacks as releasing the attack power of other players.

As soon as the new regulations are introduced, the dominance of inside players will rise sharply, and the three-point shooting ability of outside players will also be greatly enhanced.

After all, the longest three-point line in the league this season is only 6.75 meters, which is 0.5 meters shorter than last season.

0.5 meters!

It is conceivable that how many superstars in the league will have a significant increase in scoring per game this season! ! !
American Airlines Arena.

Qin Xiong smiled and walked across the half court to greet the generals of the Pacers.

We are all old acquaintances.

Before, Qin Xiong planned to do his best as a landlord, treat the generals of the Pacers to a meal, and make contact with each other, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.

In Miller's words: "If I don't beat the Heat, I won't shave a day!"

Listen to this tone!

What a firm belief!
Qin Xiong felt ashamed.But if Miller doesn't shave, he will play with a gray beard this season.At that time, who would care about an old man with a gray beard?

……

With the whistle of the referee, the first regular season game of the new season begins!

Both parties start:

Home team: Qin Xiong, Wade, Caron Butler, Carlos Boozer, Grant
Visiting team: Jamal Tinsley, Miller, Stephen Jackson, Artest, O'Neal
Ao Pang has aged for a few months, and his figure seems to be a little slimmer than last season. Maybe he was stimulated by being swept by the Heat in the finals... Qin Xiong muttered to himself.

Although Ao Pang is a few months older, his dominance is not bad at all.

Handily beat Grant at the jump ball and handed the ball to Miller.

Miller holds the ball across half court.

This season, the three-point line has been shortened a lot. There are crowds of people inside the three-point line, and the creaking sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor is very harsh.

Miller is 40 years old and is no longer the main offensive firepower of the Pacers.

Holding the ball to the top of the arc, Miller flicked the ball to Artest.

Artest was the Pacers' second-leading scorer last season, second only to O'Neal.Although Jermaine O'Neal is gone now and O'Pang is here, his position is still stable.

Holding the ball and glancing at the surrounding environment, Artest decisively chose to pass the ball.

The Heat's defensive forces are basically concentrated within the three-point line. In this case, it is not rational to force a breakthrough.

The ball came to O'Neill.

As soon as Ao Pang got the ball, Grant immediately defended close to him, and Boozer also posted up from the flank. As long as Ao Pang forced a layup, the two were ready to encircle.

O'Neal didn't force it, and Boozer's movement was observed by him.

Boozer stepped forward to help defend, Artest was empty, and Ao Pang decisively passed back.

Artest raised his hand and hit.

2:0, the Pacers took the lead.
