Chapter 85
Li Lei followed the experience of old Jones, closed all sources of information, insisted on his own training, and was not influenced by the outside world.

On February 2, the Heat came to New Jersey, ready to challenge the Nets the next day.

Kenyon Martin once again said in front of the media: "Look, here comes the kid."

"Come to die, hahaha!"

Martin laughed maniacally.

Martin was a very humble person in college, but after becoming the No. 2000 pick in [-] and winning two consecutive Eastern Conference championships, he became more and more arrogant.

The reporter seized the opportunity: "What will you do with him?"

Martin laughed: "To deal with him? You think too highly of him, we don't need to deal with him specifically."

"How to say?"

The reporter seduced.

Martin said loudly: "Where do you think this is? Who do you think we are? We are the New Jersey Nets, the Eastern Conference champions last year and the year before, and we are the rulers of the Eastern Conference. Playing a big team, playing a rookie , do we need to deal with it specially?"

The reporters' eyes lit up, and the shutters kept pressing.

Another reporter asked: "But the record of the Heat is even better. They have 34 wins and 15 losses so far, while you only have 26 wins and 20 losses."

Martin laughed again, his face full of disdain: "Last year's Pistons ranked first in the East in the regular season. What about the playoffs? They were swept out by us 4-0!"

Martin made a gesture of sweeping the floor with a broom, with an indescribable arrogance in the gesture.

"This Heat team is not even as good as last year's Pistons! They are fishy!"

……

Soon, Kenyon Martin's original words appeared on the newspapers and websites of major media.

All the media don't need to "polish the pen", and don't need to make a little embellishment, because Martin's original words are already powerful enough.

Coupled with the picture of him sweeping the floor and laughing wildly, it was even more arrogant.

……

With the news, the reporters rushed to the arena rented by the Heat, intending to stimulate the Heat.

But they were all blocked at the door.

In the morning's training, Wade's shoulder injury recurred and he will be sidelined for at least two games.

The Heat don't have time to talk to reporters right now.

The whole team was thrown into chaos.

A clever reporter immediately took a picture of the Heat's chaos and put it together with the picture of Martin sweeping the floor.

Nomination: Self-defeating!
……

The evening of July 2.

Continental Arena.

In the appearance ceremony, the Heat played first.

Cato, Odom, Li Lei, Jones, Alstom.

The Nets finale.

Center: Jason Collins.

Power Forward: Kenyon Martin.

Small Forward: Richard Jefferson.

Shooting guard: Corey "The Mosquito" Kittles.

Point guard: Jason Kidd.

Drip!

Game start.

Jump ball.

Collins pressed Cato and turned the ball back to his home half.

Kidd takes the ball and speeds up directly.

The five players of the Nets rushed to the frontcourt like a tide.

Kidd advanced quickly while observing the situation on the field.

In the chaos, Kenyon Martin got rid of Odom.

Kidd saw it, and made a long-distance pass directly, and threw it far to the rebound.

Martin rose from the ground, caught the rebounding basketball in the air, and dunked heavily with both hands.

Cato wanted to block, but Martin's bullets were too fast and powerful, and Cato couldn't react at all.

boom!
2: 0.

At the beginning, Kidd showed his ability to thread the needle.

And Martin also showed his beast-like physical talent.

"Roar!"

After falling to the ground, Martin raised his head and roared angrily, then glared at Li Lei coldly.

"Rookie, are you also worthy of being an All-Star?"

Li Lei glanced at Martin and didn't want to talk to him.

This guy is notoriously low in EQ and IQ in the player circle.

It was this season that Mourning came to the Nets, and Martin directly mocked Mourning's kidney disease.If it wasn't for being pulled by his teammates, Mourning would have beaten him out.

In addition, he once threatened the fans on the sidelines and was directly fined by the league.

You can't win an argument with this kind of person.

Because you have to lower your IQ to be as low as his before you can understand his brain circuit.

But you still can't beat him, because at this low-level IQ line, he has a lot of experience and can easily beat you.

The Heat attack.

Alston advanced to the frontcourt, couldn't find a chance under Kidd's marking, and handed it to Jones Sr.

Old Jones hit Kittles with his back.

Kittles, nicknamed "Mosquito", is very thin. His defense is not bad, but he is restrained by a strong perimeter.

Seeing that Kittles couldn't bear it, Martin immediately jumped out.

Although his emotional intelligence is not high, Martin's defense is tough enough, his feet are fast, and his defensive ability is extremely strong.

Old Jones was suddenly flanked and lost the ball by surprise.

Kidd played a defensive counterattack with the ball, and the Nets rushed to the frontcourt like a tide.

Kidd saw the gap, a ground pass passed through the crowd, and Jefferson dunked the ball.

boom!
Small forward Jefferson is also a man of quality, with amazing explosive power, and he is good at dunking.

4: 0.

The Heat attack again.

Odom organized the free throw line, a through pass to the basket, and Cato caught the ball for a layup.

Martin's speed is very fast, and he cooperates with Collins to pinch Cato.

Snapped!
Martin slapped Cato's shot down.

"Bloody hat, from Kenyon Horse~~Ding!"

The DJ of the Nets held the microphone and screamed, and the microphone couldn't bear it.

"Martin, he dominated the game with his tough defense!"

The Nets took the ball and another wave of defensive counterattacks.

Kidd made a fake fax and made an easy layup.

6: 0.

"Roar!"

The fans in New Jersey exploded, and the Continental Arena was boiling.

The Nets started with a wave of 6:0, which directly stunned the Heat.

New Jersey fans actually didn't like what Martin said before the game. They thought it was a bit too arrogant.

But now, they felt that what Martin said was not strong enough.

The strength is there, why can't you be arrogant?
Martin, dominated the game!

The Heat's record seems gorgeous, but they are vulnerable in front of the Nets.

The Nets are still the rulers of the Eastern Conference!
"Heat, vulnerable!"

Kenyon Martin's roar on the sidelines made New Jersey fans into a frenzy.

Drip!

Coach Da Fan called a timeout in time, but his voice was covered by the cheers of New Jersey fans, so he could only growl.

"Slow down, let's hit the success rate, don't worry. The Nets are best at playing defensive counterattacks. If you can't score, you will give them a chance."

"Raff, be careful to pester Jason Kidd, don't let him speed up, and prevent his pass!"

"Also, you have to be careful of Kenyon Martin. This guy is very flexible and moves very fast. He can defend the outside line at any time, and he can also return to the basket for support."

……

The timeout ends and both sides return to the court.

Old Jones continued to hit Kittles with his back, and Kittles had a hard time resisting.

Martin was the first to help defend in place.

This time, the old Jones had been prepared, and a pass was handed over to Odom.

Jefferson defends Odom.

Odom quickly passed the ball to Li Lei.

Kidd rushed over again to defend Li Lei.

But Li Lei has already risen from the ground, relying on his height advantage to make steady shots.

Kidd's interference was very limited and hardly affected Li Lei.

Swish!
Basketball shot through the heart.

6: 3.

Kidd hurriedly told Jefferson: "Don't give that rookie a chance, he is very accurate."

Jefferson nodded.
