Chapter 250 Provoke me?
11 month 9 day.

The Heat started their first away game against the previously defeated Pacers.

In this game, Wade was still outstanding, scoring 32 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

Unfortunately, the Heat lost again.

There is only one W left in the LOW combination, and Wade is powerless.

History has also proved that Wade's ability to break through and hit the inside is extremely strong, but when he leads the team alone, his record is often unsatisfactory, and he is also on the edge of the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference.

The Heat's record came to 3 wins and 2 losses.

They had to swallow the bitter pill of two consecutive losses.

Fortunately, Li Lei will be able to fight in the next round.

11 month 10 day.

The Heat defeated the Houston team led by Yao Ming and Okafor 99:84.

The tactics used by the Heat are also very simple, that is, Mourning goes around and Walker goes outside the three-point line.

而李磊本场砍下了全场最高的32分7篮板3助攻5抢断1盖帽。

In addition, Li Lei's assisted defense of Yao Ming also seriously affected Yao Ming's performance, and 5 out of 3 steals came from Yao Ming.

It is worth mentioning that Li Lei has exploded every time he played against the Houston team so far in his career.

Against other teams, Li Lei is only worth 1000 million US dollars, and against Houston, 3000 million is the bottom line.

But the Houston fans can't tell.

That guy was originally chosen by us!

Damn Morey!
At this time, Morey would often follow the example of a mouse and hide in his mouse hole.

After the game, Yao Ming pinched Li Lei's neck: "Okay, Shitou, is this how you treat Big Brother?"

Li Lei laughed loudly: "Didn't it make you score 15 points? Are you still not satisfied? Hahaha!"

Afterwards, Li Lei hugged Coach Xiao Fan (Jeff Van Gundy).

In any case, Li Lei will never forget Coach Xiao Fan's help to him.

Coach Xiao Fan nodded in relief, and it was a pity: "Even I didn't expect that that humble rookie could grow so fast. It's a pity that I can't coach you myself!"

After the game, Yao Ming invited Li Lei to have supper, and Li Lei specially brought Alstom, the No. [-] player in Houston.

This man also helped him a lot.

There is no need to choose the place for supper, it is Yao Restaurant.

After supper, Alston saw that the pair of fellow villagers were whispering, so he left early.

Yao Ming finally spoke up: "Houston, you didn't discuss contract extension with me this season, do you know what that means?"

Li Lei lowered his head in thought.

According to NBA regulations, after a player has executed the first three years of his contract, the team can begin to renew his contract in advance.

This offseason happened to be the end of Yao Ming's third year contract.

It stands to reason that a rookie like Yao Ming should start negotiating a contract extension in advance.

But Houston didn't.

Li Lei thought of another thing. The trading market had just opened, and Houston extended Okafor's rookie contract for one year.

So... Houston wants to use Okafor as the core?
I really don't understand Moore's thinking.

Is this another money-saving trick?
In the summer, when Houston signed the "African Mountain" Mutombo, Li Lei knew that they still had the same virtue and were not willing to spend money.

So Li Lei laughed.

"Dayao, this season is over, and I'm leaving the team too? Do you know what that means?"

Yao Ming's rookie contract is 4 years, Li Lei's is 3 years, both end this year.

Yao Ming's eyes widened and became brighter and brighter: "You mean, me and you... good! good!"

Hey!
Li Lei then laughed.

Anyway, Yao Ming and Li Lei are teammates of the national team, and they are quite familiar with each other. It would be great if they could be in an NBA team.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Which team has so many chips and traded to Yao Ming and Li Lei at the same time?
But in any case, Li Lei's statement untied Yao Ming's knot.

Li Lei hugged Yao Ming's head and whispered, "No matter what, you have to play well this season. The stronger you are, the more initiative you have in choosing!"

Yao Ming nodded deeply, agreeing.

……

After that, the Heat defeated the Bobcats, Hornets, 76ers, Raptors, and Trail Blazers in a row, achieving a wave of 6 consecutive victories, with a total record of 9 wins and 2 losses.

how to say?

It can only be said that the Heat have had very good luck this season.

The tacit understanding between the players is not good, but the opponents at the beginning of the season are relatively weak, which gives the Heat a good chance to run in.

But on November 11, the Heat finally encountered their first strong enemy.

Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks' record so far is 8 wins and 2 losses, not inferior to the Heat.

The Mavericks this offseason, except for the mandatory buyout of Michael Finley's contract, the lineup has hardly changed.

Therefore, the Mavericks basically maintained the main rotation lineup of last season, and the tacit understanding is not a problem at all.

With the progress of Dallas double ugly Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels, the Mavericks finally rose.

Primary rotation: Nowitzki, Dampier, Howard, Daniels, Terry, Harris, Stackhouse, Van Horn, Diop...

This is a lineup that looks very strong, and it is both offensive and defensive, and the depth of the lineup is also terrible.

From the first minute of the game, the Mavericks suppressed the Heat until the end of 1 minutes.

110: 95.

The Mavericks beat the Heat.

The Heat's record came to 9 wins and 3 losses, while the Mavericks were 9 wins and 2 losses.

So far this season, ranked by record:
No.1.

The Spurs, 10 wins and 3 losses.

Second and third.

Mavericks, 9 wins and 2 losses.

Pistons, 9 wins and 2 losses.

Fourth, fifth, sixth.

The Cavaliers, Heat, and Clippers are all 9 wins and 3 losses.

It is worth mentioning the Cavaliers.

This summer, the Cavaliers spent huge sums of money to help James recruit helpers, Larry Hughes, the first defense and steal king, averaging 22+6.3+4.7+2.9 per game, Miami's second sharpshooter Damon Jones, NBA single-game hit three-pointers Record holder Don Yale Marshall...

He also renewed the contract of All-Star center Ilgauskas.

The Cavaliers finally soared to the top of the record list.

So in the past few days, James, Wade, and Li Lei have been on the phone when they are on the phone, and they want to compete with them two-on-one.

Wade only replied: "LeBron, since the 2003 Summer League, you haven't beat me."

Li Lei added from the side: "And every time it is a big defeat!"

James: "..."

……

11 month 26 day.

The Heat encountered another strong team, the Orlando Magic.

In the playoffs of last season, Hill was injured again and is expected to miss all games this season.

This made the Magic very hurt.

However, this season, the Magic played very well without Hill.

In the East, it is only behind the Pistons, Heat, and Cavaliers, ranking fourth in the East.

It is worth mentioning that Avril Lavigne received an invitation from Orlando Disneyland to attend the event in Orlando.

Li Lei took half a day to play with Avril at Disney.

And that night, Avril Lavigne also came to the TD Water House Center to cheer for Li Lei.

The Heat start as the visiting team:

Mourning, Haslem, Li Lei, Wade, White Chocolate.

After the Magic team played.

Center: Dwight Howard.

Power Forward: Juwan Howard.

Small Forward: Hido Turkoglu.

Shooting guard: Tracy McGrady.

Point guard: Jameer Nelson.

The Magic are the same as the Mavericks. Although they are missing a general, they retain the main rotation of last season and don't need to re-run.

Drip!

Game start.

Howard defeated Mourning with an absolute advantage in the jump ball and turned the ball back to his home half.

Nelson advanced to the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll tactic with Turkoglu, got rid of the white chocolate, and went straight in.

The Heat chose to switch defenses.

Nelson was blocked by Li Lei, but he made a pass back and gave the ball to Turkoglu.

Facing White Chocolate, Turkoglu didn't even need to feint, just pulled it up and shot.

His full height of 208cm is really too tall.

White chocolate doesn't interfere at all.

Swish!
2: 0.

The Magic took the lead.

The Heat attack.

White chocolate holds the ball forward.

Li Lei approached him to communicate: "Jason, if the opponent continues to pick and roll, we will not switch defenses."

White Chocolate nodded.

In the frontcourt, Wade got rid of McGrady with the help of his teammates' cover, and accelerated to rush in.

Howard jumped high and slapped Wade's throwing fan away.

Snapped!
This bounces!This power!This explosive power!

Simply put, it is indeed a monster.

Nelson grabs the ball and makes a quick push.

White Chocolate stalks Nelson, and Nelson passes Turkoglu back.

Turkoglu received the ball and continued to rush. He cleverly used his body to lean against Li Lei who was chasing him, preventing Li Lei from jumping, and then made a low-handed layup and scored easily.

Swish!
4: 0.

The Turkish Xingyue God of War scored 4 points in a row at the start.

Looking back, Wade continued to rush in, and missed a layup under Howard's interference.

Encountering a big center, Wade is really a little weak.

However, the Heat retreated quickly this time and did not allow the Magic to break into a fast break.

Nelson can only slow down the tempo, fast break and change positions.

He hit another pick-and-roll with Turkoglu.

However, White Chocolate remembered Li Lei's words and chose to bypass Turkoglu instead of switching defenses.

Because of the preparation in advance, White Chocolate arrived in time and interfered with Nelson's shooting.

Nelson's long two-point jumper missed.

Bang!

Mourning caught Howard, struggled to grab the rebound, and went straight to White Chocolate.

White Chocolate advanced quickly, and a very spiritual no-look pass in the frontcourt was given to Wade.

Wade scored a layup.

Swish!
4: 2.

White Chocolate is playing more and more steadily, but with one or two occasional passes, you can still see the magnificence of the year.

The Magic attack.

Under the interference of White Chocolate, Nelson missed another shot.

The Heat took the opportunity to launch another wave of defensive counterattacks.

4: 4 flat!
Next, it was the Magic's offensive round.

McGrady opened his sleepy eyes and asked for the ball.

In this Magic team, Hill is absent, and only Nelson and Tracy McGrady can attack.

Some people say that Turkoglu can do it too!

That guy revitalized the entire Magic team in the 09 playoffs and finals. He was the key to the Magic breaking out of the Eastern Conference.

True, but that was '09.

Nelson was injured from the regular season to the Eastern Conference Finals, so Coach Dafan let Turkoglu play as a point forward.

Before that, the Magic's possession of the ball was in the hands of Nelson, and Turkoglu rarely dominated the ball.

And now in 05, Nelson missed consecutive shots, and the Magic could only trust Tracy McGrady.

McGrady grabbed the ball with one hand, facing Wade, after a full three seconds of stagnation, he suddenly pulled it up.

Really cool jumper!
Wade's height is too disadvantageous. Although he gave enough confrontation, whether the goal can be scored or not depends on McGrady's own touch.

Swish!
Have it.

6: 4.

Today's McGrady is not as slow as usual.

"McGrady's movements are really cool!"

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun said with emotion.

"White horse and silver spear Zhao Zilong, one ride is like a thousand Tracy!"

The Heat attack.

White Chocolate observed the defense on the opposite side and handed the ball to Li Lei.

He felt that facing the Magic with Howard, Li Lei launched an offense better than Wade.

Li Lei stood at the top of the arc, grabbed the ball with one hand, and leaned against Turkoglu with one side.

This action is exactly the same as that of McGrady.

When his teammates pulled away, Li Lei made a three-threat, probing with his feet, and then made another feint.

Turkoglu kept sliding and adjusted his defense.

And this allowed Li Lei to find a loophole.

Li Lei suddenly started and took a step forward, leaving Turkoglu behind with such a large stride.

The Magic's wings did not shrink in time, and they habitually relied on Howard at the basket.

And Howard the cat was under the basket, waiting for Li Lei to rush in and die.

However, Li Lei is not Wade.

With no one guarding him, Li Lei pulled up directly.

An open mid-range jumper, this is a bonus point.

The basketball passed steadily through the frame.

Swish!
6: 6.

Because Li Lei's single-handed catch is exactly the same as McGrady's, many people think that Li Lei is imitating McGrady, or even provoking him.

Regardless of Li Lei's own thoughts, this ball is an answerball in the eyes of others.

The Magic attack.

McGrady took the initiative to ask for the ball, which excited the Orlando fans.

He feinted.

Wade, who was slapped in the face just now, jumped up.

And McGrady received the ball, and then really pulled it up.

Swish!
8: 6.

McGrady, who scored the goal, ran back without even looking at Li Lei.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei asked for the ball.

This move made the fans excited.

Don't be shy, just do it!
Such people are most loved by fans.

Li Lei is still a three-threat, suddenly activated.

Turkoglu was stepped over just now, and this time he retreated immediately to maintain a defensive position.

However, Li Lei pulled back and pulled it out directly.

Step back jump shot.

Turkoglu wanted to pounce back, but couldn't do it at all.

In any case, he is 208cm tall and weighs 108kg. This height and weight are advantages on the offensive end, but disadvantages on the defensive end.

Slow pace and poor flexibility.

As far as man-to-man defense is concerned, Turkoglu is a big colander.

Swish!
There are also.

8:8 level.

Li Lei hit an answeball again.

After the goal was scored, McGrady looked at Li Lei, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Interesting, little guy.

Are you really going to provoke me?
