Chapter 247 Career First 50+
In the first half of the fourth quarter, the two teams still fought off the bench.

Mike Miller continued his excellent performance to help the Grizzlies widen the gap.

89: 84.

After 4 minutes, the two sides replaced the starters one after another.

Wade's state is still excellent, helping the Heat narrow the gap.

But the Grizzlies are in really good shape tonight and can always score when they are about to be overtaken.

The last 3 minutes, 101:98.

The Grizzlies still led by 3 points.

The Grizzlies attack.

Flying Squirrel used the cover of his teammates to get to the basket and pulled the bar for a layup.

But his pull rod was pointless.

Li Lei caught up with him and slapped his shot directly on the backboard.

"The long arm of the stone is too buggy!"

Su Qun said with emotion.

After landing, Li Lei took off for the second time, put the ball in the cyst, and then made a fast break by himself.

At the end of the game, the physical strength of both sides was tight, and the Grizzlies' defense was a bit messy.

Li Lei rushed to the frontcourt, saw the loophole, and directly accelerated into the paint.

The Grizzlies have also been slow to shrink.

Li Lei was naturally impolite, and smashed the basketball into the basket with a dunk.

101: 100.

The Grizzlies attack.

Gasol continued his life for the Grizzlies again, scoring 2 points.

103: 100.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei ran without the ball, bounced beyond the three-point line with the help of Haslem's screen, received a pass from White Chocolate, raised the knife and dropped the ball into the basket.

Swish!
103:103 level.

At the critical moment, Li Lei started to soar again.

With this goal scored, Li Lei has scored 43 points.

The Grizzlies attacked, and under the interference of White Chocolate, the little flying mouse missed the layup.

But White grabbed the rebound and made a putback.

105: 103.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei grabbed the ball with one hand at the top of the arc, and after a feint, he started it directly.

Battier's defensive skills are really good, sliding sideways, firmly blocking in front of Li Lei.

Li Lei pulled back, took a step back, and then pulled up directly.

Battier couldn't come back.

But old Jones had been prepared for a long time and rushed over to help defend.

This is the experience of the veteran, which played a role at the critical moment.

Grizzlies coach Fratello saw this scene, suddenly relieved.

Shane Battier and Jones Sr., the two defensive giants pinched Li Lei. This shot was hellish.

Li Lei would be a ghost if he could enter.

Under the pressure of the two, Li Lei's shooting has been completely deformed, and his shooting posture looks extremely awkward.

However, Li Lei himself felt pretty good.

The high-level hundred-step piercing has worked, greatly reducing the interference Li Lei received.

The basketball flew out, hit the backboard, and bounced into the frame.

boom!
Swish!
Hit the board for three points, there it is!
Really have!

105: 106.

The Heat overtook the score.

The American Airlines Center Arena exploded in an instant.

This kind of goal can be scored, Li Lei is simply superb tonight.

Coach Fratello looked helpless.

Old Jones also shook his head helplessly, and patted Li Lei on the shoulder.

"Little guy, you are a real superstar!"

At this moment, Li Lei scored 46 points.

The Grizzlies attack.

With the help of his teammates, Mike Miller popped out of the three-point line, received a support ball from Gasol, and raised his hand to make a hit.

Swish!
108: 106.

The Grizzlies took the lead again.

At the last moment of the game, the atmosphere was tense, and it felt like the air was stagnant.

Drip!

Pat Riley called the last timeout and set up tactics.

But the whole world knows that the executor of the Heat's last goal must be Li Lei.

It depends on how Riley plays tricks.

Pause back.

Haslem and Wade raised at the same time to help Li Lei get rid of Battier.

White Chocolate sent the ball to Li Lei, and then rushed towards Li Lei.

At the same time, O'Neal also lifted up from the basket and ran towards Li Lei.

Fight your life and guarantee one!

Fans who are familiar with the Heat immediately realized that this is the game-winning tactic tailored for Li Lei.

Fratello's heart instantly turned cold.

He really didn't expect the Heat to play like this. After all, the Heat wouldn't use this tactic a few times a season.

But at this moment, he discovered that the white chocolate hadn't taken hold.

Or because I just came to the Heat and lacked the necessary tacit understanding.

There was a big gap between White Chocolate and his teammates.

Battier stepped in directly and rushed towards Li Lei.

Time was running out, and it was too late to re-run the tactics, so Li Lei could only bite the bullet and pull it out.

However, Li Lei still has a big heart. He didn't pull it up directly, but made a fake shot in the little time left.

Battier almost didn't think, and jumped up directly.

Shane Battier, who was in the air, noticed Li Lei's fake action and shouted bad!
But it was too late.

Li Lei immediately pulled it up.

Drip!

The referee's whistle sounded, and Li Lei made Battier's thug foul.

In the air, Li Lei still completed his shot.

The basketball flew high, obviously deflected, and hit the side edge of the basket.

Bang!

But at this moment, the basketball bounced high, fell again, and fell steadily into the basket.

Swish!
Have it.

This TMD has it all!
This is a fairy ball!
The American Airlines Center arena exploded in an instant.

108: 109.

The Heat took the lead, and Li Lei still had a free throw opportunity.

This is an extremely rare 3+1.

It is worth mentioning that Li Lei scored 49 points.

As long as this free throw is scored, Li Lei can get the first 50 points of his career.

Subsequently, Li Lei walked to the free throw line.

The entire arena fell silent, and the Miami fans did not dare to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Li Lei.

call!
call!
Li Lei took deep breaths continuously, then bent his knees, bounced up, and shook his wrists...

The basketball flew out and passed through the frame.

Swish!
Hit, hit!
108: 110.

Li Lei's personal score also reached 50 points.

The American Airlines Center Arena instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

Li Lei only had 1.2 seconds left for the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies didn't have a timeout and could only serve the baseline.

Mike Miller took the ball and threw it directly. The distance of the whole field and the interference of the opponent was a direct non-stick.

drop……

The long whistle sounded for the end of the game.

All Miami fans shouted in unison: "MVP! MVP! MVP..."

The Heat beat the Grizzlies 110-108 in the opening game.

Li Lei killed his opponent!
他全场29投19中，三分球13中10，罚球2中2，砍下了整整50分。

He shot 65.5% from the field, 76.9% from three-pointers, and 100% from free throws.

This is an offensive efficiency against the sky.

李磊总计拿到了50分8篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽。

韦德23分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽。

“李德”组合合砍73分14篮板7助攻3抢断3盖帽，可以说是非常出色。

So why did "Li De" play so well and it was so difficult for the Heat to win?
Except for the Grizzlies who also played well, the rest of the Heat played really badly.

O'Neal made 13 of 3 shots and scored 8 points and 5 rebounds with free throws.

沃克9投2中，得了5分3篮板1助攻。

White Chocolate was the third and last player of the Heat to score in double figures, with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

In addition, the Heat had as many as 18 turnovers, most of which were due to the lack of tacit understanding between the players and mistakes made during cooperation.

From the Grizzlies:
Gasol had 22 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Mike Miller had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire had 18 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.

Old Jones had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assist and 2 steals.

To be honest, the Grizzlies played well today.

It's a pity that they met Li Lei who ran away.

The game has just ended, and the fan forums have also started heated discussions.

"It's no surprise that the Heat won, it's a surprise that it was so hard to win."

"It's so disappointing. This is not the super battleship with 76 wins and 6 losses in the regular season and 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs last season."

"If Stone hadn't gone berserk, the Heat would have lost tonight."

"What's the situation? How did the Heat play so badly?"

"One, the issue of age, there are many veterans."

"Second, the tacit understanding problem, the lineup changed too much during the offseason."

"Three, the problem of mentality. You should have noticed that O'Neal's body is obviously out of shape, which is self-indulgence. After winning the fourth championship, O'Neal's desire to win is completely gone."

……

I have to say that there are experts among the fans, and the comments hit the nail on the head.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Lei and Wade attended the press conference with Pat Riley.

There were so many reporters tonight, and the Heat didn't have enough seats. Many reporters were even standing, and the room seemed a little crowded.

Li Lei, who just scored 50 points, became the focus.

"Stone, how do you feel after scoring 50 points?"

Li Lei: "I feel very tired! Sean and Eddie's defense is very good, which caused me a lot of trouble. Every shot is very difficult for me. Fortunately, my luck is good, and most of the shots tonight are scored. gone."

Ah……

The reporter who asked the question rolled his eyes.

Isn't this praise of Battier and old Jones to the sky, is it a change of direction to praise oneself?
Still lucky?

50 points can be scored with good luck?

You must know that this is the beginning of the century, the era with the worst scoring efficiency in NBA history, the era with the most terrifying defense, and the era with the lowest scoring stars...

"I noticed that the performance of the rest of the Heat team was not very good, and you were also forced to take more shots. Many fans felt that if you hadn't performed superbly, the Heat would probably lose this game. What do you think?"

Another reporter asked a question.

Li Lei thought about it for a while, and there is a pitfall in this question, which needs to be avoided: "Players are human beings, not machines. Everyone has bad performance. As a team, there are always some people who play badly and some people who play well. Tonight It's me, it could be Dwyane tomorrow night, it could be Shaq the day after tomorrow...We're a team. We're a team!"

As usual, Li Lei was still impeccable.

Next question.

A fashionable female reporter Li Lei had never seen before asked, "Stone, are you dating Avril?"

A staff member passed behind Li Lei and reminded him in a low voice, "This is an entertainment reporter."

Li Lei nodded.

No wonder there were so many reporters tonight.

"As you can see!"

Li Lei only answered four words.

As for thinking so, that is the reporter's business.

Later, another reporter asked about the aging of the Heat.

Li Lei replied without hesitation: "This is not a problem at all. There is an old saying in my hometown: If there is an old man in a family, there is a treasure! And in our team, there are many treasures. Does anyone not like treasures?"

at night.

Li Lei drove Avril back to the hotel.

There are many small cars following along the way, which should be commonly known as paparazzi.

In the past, Li Lei didn't think much of it alone.

Now, Li Lei felt a little uncomfortable, feeling like he was stripped naked and standing in the middle of the crowd.

It was also on this night that Li Lei ended his virginity.

Specific: Omit [-] words!

The little sisters of capitalism are like wolves and tigers. If it weren't for Li Lei's good health, it would be too much for her.

Woke up the next day, it was already past lunch time.

Li Lei took Avril to dinner and sent her to the plane to Los Angeles.

In the afternoon, we arrived at the ancillary hall of the American Airlines Center.

Haslem is training alone.

Seeing Li Lei, Haslem smiled ambiguously: "Brother, this is the second time in your career that you arrive at the arena later than me."

The first time, was the 2003 Summer League.

Li Lei didn't care about Haslem's teasing either: "Brother, I'm planning to buy a house near the arena, please help me think about it."

Haslem is a native of Miami, and his home is very close to the American Airlines Center.

If you ask him about this matter, you have found the right person.

"Are you ready to move out of the apartment?" Haslem asked.

Li Lei shook his head: "No. It's just that if she comes, she can't stay in the hotel all the time."

Haslem nodded: "It's on me."

These years, Li Lei's salary is not high, and this summer's salary is only 87 US dollars, but he has signed many endorsement contracts, big and small, and his net worth is tens of millions.

Buying a house is not a problem.

……

11 month 3 day.

The Heat ushered in their second opponent at home.

Indiana Pacers.

After a season, Artest can finally play the game.

But the old guy who admired Li Lei the most, Reggie Miller, left the game forever.

Last season, it may have been the best chance for the old Miller to hit the championship, but unfortunately it was ruined by the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

Since then, the NBA has added another uncrowned king.

Tonight, the old Miller was wearing a suit and watching the game from the sidelines as a Pacers legend.

During the warm-up time, Li Lei took the initiative to go to the sidelines and communicate with the old Miller.

"Reggie, do you want to come back? Come to the Heat, we can defend the title this season."

The old Miller shook his head: "What's the point of such a championship? I have played for the Pacers all my life, and I don't want to leave it at the last moment."

People are different.

Reggie Miller looks emaciated and scrawny, but has a strong heart and is a real tough guy.

He wants a championship, but he will never run away for the championship.

Looking carefully at the lineup of the Pacers, it is actually still very effective.

O'Neal, Artest, Jamal Tinsley, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Crohill, Anthony Johnson...

Coupled with the 17th overall pick Danny Granger selected this year, the Pacers are still a strong team in the playoffs.

There is also Rick Carlisle, the master tactician, no one dares to underestimate them.

But when they really fought, they found that the Pacers' hearts were scattered.

There was no coordination between the players, and the defensive performance was poor.

Li Lei remembered the rumor.

The general manager of the Pacers "Big Bird" Bird was very disappointed with the team. He intentionally sent away all the problem players in the team (including O'Neal, Artest, Jackson), and even dismantled the entire team. .

Even Bird's friend coach Rick Carlisle is also within the scope of Bird's peddling.

From this point of view, it is normal for the Pacers to play like this.

In the midst of such trading rumors, how can the players still have the mentality to play well.

Is this a Bird problem?
Do not!
Byrd couldn't help it either.

After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pacers left an extremely bad impression on David Stern.

He won't allow the Pacers to play out.

Bird can only dismantle the team, and then rebuild.

However, facing such a Pacers team, the Heat also played extremely hard.

It wasn't until the end of the game that the Heat narrowly beat the Pacers 105:102.

韦德全场42分6篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Li Lei's words made sense, and Wade really exploded.

李磊21分7篮板3助攻6抢断1盖帽。

O'Neal had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. His performance was still poor, and his shooting percentage was less than 4%.

Haslem had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.

The Heat won 2 consecutive victories at the start of the game, but lost the impression in the hearts of the fans.
