Chapter 31 Debut
The game continues.

Kenny Thomas faces Haslem with the ball.

Breakthrough after feint.

Haslem was so nervous that he was sent flying by a simple feint.

Thomas took the opportunity to get into the paint, stand up, and hit the basket with both hands.

"..."

Coach Da Fan couldn't help covering his face, Haslem's performance was not as good as Cato's.

At this moment, a figure rose into the air from behind Thomas, and slapped the basketball Thomas raised.

Snapped!
Heat No. 15.

Li Lei!

He pinned Thomas to the floor, a brutal bloody cap.

"Oh...NO!"

The fans exclaimed for a while.

"Thomas played so well tonight, he was careless."

Bill Walton said.

Fortunately for the 76ers, Snow picked up the basketball.

Thomas got up from the ground and glared at Li Lei, then stuck Li Lei and asked for the ball directly.

"Give me the ball!"

Thomas was going to blow up the Asian who sneaked up on him.

Snow did not refuse, Thomas was in good form today.

"Rookie, I'm going to blow you up! Push you to the floor, and then crush you hard!"

After catching the ball, Thomas turned his back to Li Lei, pushed Li Lei away frantically, and spat trash talk.

Both of them are 201cm, but Thomas has a weight of 111kg and has an advantage in strength.

Li Lei obviously took a step back, but he still pressed his chest against Thomas.

You can fight me off, but you have to pay the price.

Li Lei fights for every inch of land.

Thomas continued to exert force and pushed several times in succession.Li Lei was repelled by him, but not much, and Thomas still couldn't find room to make a shot.

The strength of this Asian was greater than he had imagined, and he was extraordinarily tenacious.

When Thomas was surprised, the Asian said, "Didn't you eat today? Why are you so soft like a pussy?"

Thomas flew into a rage, and he swore he was going to blow up the damn Asian.

But just as he was about to exert his strength again, his hand was suddenly empty, and his ball was gone.

Wade didn't know when he touched it, snatched the basketball secretly, and then scored a one-stop layup.

18: 11.

Without Iverson, no one in the 76ers can keep up with Wade.

"damn it!"

Thomas was so angry that he suffered two big losses in a row.

Coach Chris Ford yelled from the sidelines: "Kenny, don't hold the ball for too long."

This annoyed Thomas even more.

He must beat Li Lei up, let out a breath of anger.

However, the two are not directly facing each other, and this opportunity is not easy to find.

The 76ers attack.

Thomas took the ball and continued to play.

It was Haslem who defended him.

Facing Haslem, Thomas has no strength advantage, and he can't make any progress.

The two were at a stalemate, and Li Lei's defense came again.

After a summer of training, Li Lei and Haslem already had a tacit understanding, and the two pressed wildly with four hands.

Thomas made another mistake.

Li Lei grabbed the basketball and quickly passed it to Wade.

Wade made a quick move and assisted Jones for a layup.

18: 13.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

Coach Chris Ford was very upset.

But he didn't replace Iverson, after all, Iverson just sat down to rest.

He intends to take another look.

However, Thomas must not be allowed to waste another opportunity.

"Coleman, you attack with the ball!"

Coach Ford yelled at the only champion on the field.

Coleman was the No. 1990 pick in [-] and is already an injury-ridden veteran.

But as long as he is healthy, he still has a strong fighting power.

Coleman's continuous turns around the basket made Grant's center of gravity unstable.

Coleman took the opportunity to get rid of Grant, and swung his hand very softly.

"careful!"

Snow's shout sounded, but it was still too late.

It was No. 15 of the Heat again. He soared into the air and slapped him with his big hand.

Snapped!
Li Lei slammed the ball out of the sideline.

"Stone, you are amazing!"

Haslem and Wade rushed up to surround Li Lei and jumped wildly.

These two blocks are very morale-boosting.

The Heat's bench, the towel men have all shown their talents, except for Cato.

He sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The Heat's No. 44 rookie, his performance has exceeded everyone's expectations, and he is definitely worth a lottery."

Mike Brin said.

Based on this 1-minute performance alone, he gave a very high evaluation.

Bill Walton was a little surprised: "Hey, Mike, come on. All he blocked was an injury-ridden veteran and a short 201cm insider."

"One thing you forgot," Breen said with a smile. "It's his first game in the NBA. Minute 1."

Wharton was stunned, but still unconvinced: "In any case, he is only the No. 44 pick! If Caron Butler hadn't been injured, he might not have had the chance to play."

Breen confronted: "It is true, but as long as he continues to perform like this, he will get more opportunities, even surpassing Butler. Because what he can bring to the Heat is the iron blood and toughness that the Heat need most."

Walton: "Man, you think too highly of him, his name is not Alonzo Mourning!"

The two argued endlessly.

This is also for the effect of the show. Iverson is off, and the commentary needs new topics. Controversy is what attracts fans the most.

The ball is still with the 76ers.

Coleman sent the baseline ball and continued to play.

The Heat's morale was greatly shaken and they showed high-quality defense.

The 76ers didn't have a chance until 24 seconds, and Snow's final forced shot was a non-stick.

Li Lei seems to have changed the Heat.

Su Qun couldn't help thinking.

But soon, Su Qun's idea was proved to be just a thought.

Snow made mid-range shots for two consecutive rounds, helping the 76ers maintain the point difference.

End of first quarter, 22:18.

The 76ers still maintain a 4-point lead.

Li Lei's data is still only 2 blocks.

After two big hot pots, Li Lei seemed to disappear from the crowd, which made Bill Wharton a little proud.

The two sides changed players, and the substitute lineup fought.

Heat here: Haslem, Odom, Li Lei, Wade, Alston.

76ers: Amal McSkill, Mark Jackson, John Salmons, Aaron McGee, Snow.

Wade attacks with the ball.

Coach Ford reminded loudly: "Shrink the basket, don't let that rookie continue to go in."

It was only the first game, and Wade's breakthrough ability has undoubtedly been demonstrated.

The reference for comparison is very important.

Compared with Iverson, Wade is tender.

But compared with others, Wade is not a vegetarian.

The basket is tight, Wade can't find a good opportunity, and the ball is cut to Odom.

The 76ers continued to flank Odom.

Odom suddenly made a pass behind the back, and the basketball flew to the bottom corner.

Li Lei ambushed here, feeling very comfortable catching the ball.

Odom's nickname "Left-Handed Magician" is not in vain.

The 76ers shrunk to the basket and were slow to save.

Li Lei made some adjustments before making a move.

On the sidelines, Su Qun's heart sank. This was Li Lei's first shot in the NBA. Can he make it?
Swish!
A crisp sound came from the loudspeaker.

Li Lei hit a hollow three-pointer.

22: 21.

But Coach Ford did not change his tight defensive tactics. After all, Li Lei only scored one goal.

Soon, he paid the price for this decision.

In the next round, Li Lei hit a second three-pointer from almost the same position.

22: 24.

Li Lei scored two three-pointers in a row to help the Heat overtake.

Mike Brin glanced at Wharton calmly.

Wharton: "..."

Meanwhile, Iverson stood up from the sidelines.

"Coach, I want to play!"
