Chapter 252 New York Knicks, all chicken feathers

But McGrady did not give up, carefully observed the Heat's defense, McGrady suddenly made a pass.

The basketball passed between Posey and Haslem and fell into the hands of Juwan Howard.

Uncle Huo pulled it up and threw it.

Swish!
16: 17.

Uncle Huo's open mid-range is really as stable as an old dog.

I would like to call you: mid-range open shot every shot never misses, ah no!It's the old prince.

Fans who followed Houston in those years probably remember: Uncle Mu's finger wagging, Uncle Huo's open mid-range, and Hayes' free throw.

Especially Uncle Huo's open mid-range, I really haven't seen him miss a shot.

The Heat fought back.

Li Lei continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

Coach Da Fan's reaction was obviously a bit slower than Riley's, and he hasn't started sanctioning Li Lei yet.

But Li Lei didn't plan to force him.

Fighting like this is really exhausting and exhausting.

Li Lei beckoned and signaled Haslem to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Li Lei took the opportunity to get rid of McGrady and rush in.

The Magic were forced to switch defenses, and Uncle Huo faced Li Lei.

Being called uncle, Juwan Howard is naturally not young anymore, he is 34 years old this season.

Li Lei changed direction, directly made the second uncle clean, and continued to speed up and rush in.

The "Warcraft" Howard on the inside rushed to the mountain.

It's impossible not to pounce, Li Lei is not Wade, and the basket is very accurate.

But as soon as Howard came out, the basket was empty.

Li Lei made a wonderful pass and went straight to the basket.

Mourning caught the ball and easily hit the board to score.

boom!
Swish!
16: 19.

The Magic attack.

McGrady was double-teamed while holding the ball.

And last time suffered a loss, the Heat did not let Uncle Huo easily run out of space.

McGrady finally chose to pass.

During the confrontation just now, Li Lei was uncomfortable, and McGrady was also tired.

Nelson got the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Warcraft.

However, Li Lei assisted in the defense in time, delayed the pick-and-roll, and destroyed the Magic's tactics.

Nelson's forced shot misses.

Bang!

Howard wants to rush back to the paint for a rebound.

But Haslem was smart enough to physically jam him.

Mourning easily protected the backcourt rebound.

Even if O'Neal is not there, the old and short inside combination of Mourning + Haslem does not lose to the Magic in terms of rebounding.

This is a desperate fact.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei pulled Uncle Huo out of the military training again, and after attracting help defenses, he assisted Posey at a 45-degree angle to score a three-pointer.

Swish!
16: 22.

Unknowingly, the Heat opened the score.

And in the next round, the Heat defended their opponent for 24 seconds.

The Heat also took the opportunity to play a wave of defensive counterattacks.

16: 24.

Visible to the naked eye, the Heat's defense is still terrible.

Although the No-handcheck rule was promulgated last season, the influence of strong defensive teams has been greatly reduced.

But defense is still the main theme of this era.

For example, the four conference finals teams last season, the Suns, Spurs, Heat, and Pistons, except for the Suns, the other three teams are the top three in the league's defensive efficiency.

Offense wins the regular season, defense wins the championship!
The first quarter is over.

19: 29.

The Heat led by as many as 10 points.

In the rotation stage, Wade, who didn't play much in the first quarter, stayed on the court and led the bench with Walker.

The Heat further widened the point difference.

The fact is that Hill's injury has seriously affected the depth of the Magic's bench.

With O'Neal absent, the Heat still have a lot of players who can play, but the inside line is a bit tight. Mourning has played more than 30 minutes in every game recently.

After the second quarter, the two sides switched back to the starting lineup one after another.

Turkoglu showed a soft touch, hitting consecutive mid-range and long-range shots to help the team chase points.

But on the Heat's side, Walker used his "three-pointer idiot" ability to hit consecutive three-pointers, helping the Heat withstand the Magic's wave of chasing points.

And White Chocolate also controls the rhythm, distributes the ball reasonably, and helps the Heat play steadily.

The momentum of the Magic's chasing points quickly passed, but the score did not shrink.

All of a sudden, the momentum is gone.

Since then, the Magic have never launched an effective chasing momentum.

In the end, 89:111, the Heat beat the Magic.

The total record came to 10 wins and 3 losses.

李磊砍下了全队最高的35分7篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Wade had 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 blocks.

Walker had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

White Chocolate had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.

……

From the Magic:
麦迪砍下全场最高的38分6篮板7助攻1抢断2盖帽。

Nelson had 15 points and 6 assists.

Turkoglu had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

At the press conference after the game, McGrady praised Li Lei: "I will, he will. He is already the best among young players."

Li Lei exaggerated even more: "You know, it was my dream to play with Tracy before entering the league, and to be qualified to be his opponent, I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight, I'm so excited!"

In fact, Li Lei slept very soundly that night.

After playing a fierce game, I was already tired.Hugging Avril again, kissing her blond hair, can you still sleep soundly?

……

11 month 28 day.

The Heat ushered in a challenge from the New York Knicks at home.

The weak team led by Larry Brown is not worth mentioning, and it is simply lackluster.

It keeps losing, so what else is there to say.

So far in the regular season, the New York Knicks have only 4 wins and 8 losses.

And the season just started, Knicks star Marbury and Larry Brown broke out in conflict.

Of course, the two have long had a feud.

2004 Athens Olympic Games.

Larry Brown coached the Dream Six team. On the first day of the training camp, Larry Brown chatted with the core of the team, and Marbury was one of them.

"Tell me about your goals for this Olympics," Larry Brown suggested.

So everyone started talking, and all that should be said was finished, and Marbury added: "Of course, let's not forget to have fun."

The dream team has always had this mentality when they play in the World Series, so there is nothing to say.

But Larry Brown replied: "Listen to this guy, he said everyone should have fun."

This is okay, but Brown's tone is extremely arrogant.

Marbury felt insulted at the time.

Later, the US team lost consecutively to the Chinese team, Lithuania, and Argentina, and did not even get a card.

Marbury couldn't take it anymore.

He told the media: "That Larry Brown guy, normal people can't understand him at all. He would rather let AI defend a big man (Li Lei) who is more than 2 meters long, and he is not willing to give Cameron, Dwyane, and LeBron a chance .”

"Also, he actually told Jason (Kidd) to slow down, don't play the fast break, and play from the free throw line. Come on, that's Jason, the best is to defend the counterattack, and he told Jason not to play. Play fast break! It's like telling a car not to refuel or an airplane not to have wings, it's just beyond comprehension."

"The first 38 days of training camp were the worst 38 days of my life."

These words also made Marbury and Larry Brown feud.

This is an old grudge!
And this summer, when the New York Knicks planned to introduce Larry Brown, Marbury approached the general manager of the team, "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, and advised him not to introduce Larry Brown.

After Larry Brown found out, you said he wouldn't be angry?
This is a new revenge!

It's just that Thomas is a guy who does his own way when he plays, so how could he listen to Marbury's advice.

Larry Brown was fired by the Pistons only a week before Isiah Thomas signed him, and it was a super salary of 5 million over five years.

Then Larry Brown took over the Knicks. Facing Marbury, who had new and old grudges with him, how could he be polite.

But unfortunately, Marbury is not a soft persimmon.

In the Timberwolves, coach Philip Sanders + Garnett didn't subdue him, so what happened to Larry Brown?
Today, the conflict between the two has basically become public.

In addition, Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas also had conflicts.

Why did Larry Brown leave the Pistons? Isn't it because he failed to gain more power in the management, and then left in anger.

When he arrived at the Knicks, Larry Brown thought he could finally let go of his hands and feet and do a big job.

But... who is Isiah Thomas?The thug who even Jordan is going to die, can he tolerate Larry Brown taking his power?

Just at the beginning of the season, the two had a dispute over the use of assistant coaches and players.

Isiah Thomas felt that Larry Brown was overreaching.

And Larry Brown felt that Isiah Thomas hindered his coaching.

To put it bluntly, it looks like a "dog eats dog" drama.

Isiah Thomas should have regretted it now, he didn't listen to Marbury's suggestion.

In today's game, the Heat directly slaughtered the Knicks by 123 points 83:40.

Victory can cover up all contradictions.

And failure is the catalyst for all contradictions.

A disastrous defeat tonight once again pushed Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown to the forefront.

Thomas said in front of the media: "Everyone has their own division of labor, just do their own thing well, and it is stupid, unprofessional, and dangerous to interfere with other people's power and foul without restraint..."

This is banging Larry Brown too!

Larry Brown is also not afraid: "Some people don't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, do not know how to respect, and are obsessed with power. Such behavior is fatal to the team. I believe I have the ability to turn the Knicks into a team in a short time. A strong team. Assuming, of course, that some people don't get in my way."

What a mess!

It is estimated that Isiah Thomas is now eager to strangle Larry Brown.

If he could go back in time, the first thing he would do was to tear up the contract to Larry Brown.

Where did you hire a coach?Obviously invited an ancestor.

But the key question is, Larry Brown is really an ancestor.

Even Popovich is a disciple of Larry Brown.

In addition, a group of coaches in the league, including George Karl, are friends of Larry Brown. Larry Brown's reputation in the NBA is too high.

It is easy for you to sign him, but it is difficult to drive him away.

This is really easy to ask God to send God!
……

After this game, the Heat's record came to 11 wins and 3 losses.

However, on November 11, the Heat lost to the Hawks in an upset.

How bad the Eagles are, with 2 wins and 11 losses this season, the bottom of the league.

But the Heat just lost, which is simply speechless.

Even if it is an online novel, I dare not write like this.

The defending champion lost to the bottom of the league.

But he just happened.

So the NBA is a place where miracles happen, and strong teams sometimes capsize in the gutter.

But seriously analyze the game.

You will find that the Heat made too many turnovers, a full 21 times, more than half of which were pass errors.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of tacit understanding.

The running-in of the Heat cannot be completed in one or two days.

In addition, Wade's state is not good today, only 22 of 8 shots, shooting 36.4%.

In addition, plus O'Neill is absent.

The Eagles broke out, Al Harrington, "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Zaza Pachulia, "No. [-] pick" Marvin Williams... all played well.

……

So far, the first month of the 2005-2006 season has passed.

The Heat achieved a record of 11 wins and 4 losses in the first month. The record is not bad, but it is much worse than last season.

A month has passed, and the award for the best player of the month has also been released.

西部这边，埃尔顿布兰德场均23.7分10.7篮板2.3助攻0.7抢断2.7盖帽，带领快船队打出了10胜5负的战绩。

On the east side, there is some suspense.

李磊场均26.1分7.3篮板3.1助攻3.5抢断1.1盖帽，三项命中率分别是50.7%、48.3%、90.1%。

韦德场均27.2分5.3篮板4.9助攻1.2抢断1.0盖帽，三项命中率分别是49.5%、17.1%、78.3%。

詹姆斯场均28.4分6篮板4.5助攻1.6抢断0.9盖帽，三项命中率分别是48.9%、35.1%、81.7%。

As for the record, the three are almost the same, the Heat have 11 wins and 4 losses, and the Cavaliers have 10 wins and 4 losses.

With this kind of data + record, it is no problem for three people to be elected.

But there is no problem, which means that no one can convince the crowd.

In the end, the league selected Li Lei.

Fans of Wade and James were really not convinced.

Wade's fans said: "I have played 2 more games than you, why do you surpass me?"

Li Lei's fans shot back: "Why did Stone play 2 games less? Don't you have a B number in your heart? James can be dissatisfied, but you Wade can't. Don't forget, this is the second time Stone has stood up for Wade. Still Yes, Li Lei was suspended for 2 games, Wade led the team and lost, so what else can I say?"

Wade fans just disappeared.

But James fans are not so easily convinced.

However, this kind of quarrel will never be able to tell the winner, but it will gradually calm down as time goes by.

……

Then, into December.

Mourning's state has declined sharply.

After all, he is a veteran, and has undergone serious kidney transplant operations.

In addition, in November, O'Neal was injured, and Mourning played more than 11 minutes per game, and the tough guy couldn't bear it.

Pat Riley was afraid of Mourning's injury and strictly controlled Mourning's playing time. Even if the team lost, Mourning would never be allowed to overload the game.

In desperation, Pat Riley asked Wang Zhizhi and rookie El Baron to take on more center forward tasks.

Not to mention Wang Zhizhi's problems, he is not strong enough to play a center forward, and his pace is slow, it is really impossible.

As a rookie, El Baron was still undrafted, and his talent is also extremely poor.

The most uncomfortable thing is that the Heat's opponents in December are very strong.

On December 12, they played the Kings away.

On December 12, the Nuggets were played away.

On December 12, the Clippers played away.

On March 13, the Spurs played away.

On December 12, the Nuggets played at home.

On December 12, the Wizards played at home.

On December 12, the Bulls played away.

7 games, 5 away, and [-] back-to-back.

In addition, the worst record among these teams is the Wizards, with a winning percentage of 50%.

The Spurs and Clippers are the top three in the record list.

In the end, the Heat achieved a poor record of 1 win and 6 losses.

In this way, the Heat's total record came to 12 wins and 10 losses.

The Heat also fell from the top three in the East to the edge of the playoffs.

In this case, the Heat flew away to challenge the Milwaukee Bucks.

As for the Bucks, they played really well this season.

So far this season, they have a record of 12 wins and 7 losses, which is better than the Heat, and they are likely to return to the playoffs this year.

球队核心迈克尔里德场均25.4分4.3篮板2.9助攻1.2抢断，三分球命中率高达39.5%。

Insiders include Bogut and Magloire.

There are Bobby Simmons and TJ Ford on the outside.

There are also "Peanuts" Mo Williams and Joe Smith on the bench.
