The world's best combo guard

Chapter 110 107 [Strange feeling]

When the game officially started, Phil Jackson couldn't help raising his eyebrows, because he found that the players' running positions were not what he had arranged before the game.

Under normal circumstances, the team's running positions are basically developed around the ok combination, but it seems that this is obviously not the case at this moment. Instead, everyone seems to be moving around Li Hao who is in possession of the ball.

Phil Jackson was a little strange. He didn't think the ok combination would give up the core tactical players so casually, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have had some open and secret fights over this matter during this period of time.

"Maybe it was just a random move"

Phil Jackson decided to keep watching.

Why is Pat Riley called a "magic operator"?Perhaps the selection of Dwyane Wade this season is not the masterpiece that really made him famous.

As early as three years ago, after the players headed by Mourning and Tim Hardaway left the team one by one, the Heat started rebuilding.

People have to admit that Pat Riley is not only a great coach, but also a great general manager.

He first recruited Mesozoic players Eddie Jones and Brian Grant with a solid style of play in 2000 through transactions, so that the reconstruction process would not collapse and he could maintain a certain record.

In 2002, a double Butler was selected in the draft, Russell Butler and Caron Butler.

The two entered the team's rotation list in their rookie season, especially Caron Butler's style of play looks like a replica of Pierce in his rookie period.

Then in the free agent market the following year, he signed the long-coveted talented forward Odom, and Alstom, who has been unsuccessful since joining the league.

Adding Dwyane Wade and Haslem this season, if you take a closer look, this new Heat team is currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference this season, but their future is full of infinite possibilities.

In the words of the legendary godfather of the Boston Celtics, Cardinal, "Pat Riley unknowingly created a new lineup model, perhaps this should be the earliest small ball lineup in the East."

There is evidence for the Cardinal to say this, and you will understand it all when you look at Riley's lineup.

First of all, the center, 2.06 meters Grant has a strong body and strong defensive and rebounding ability, but strictly speaking, he is not an orthodox center at all. In his previous career, whether in the Kings or the Trail Blazers, he has always been the main big player. Forward, although he can rely on hard work to make up for it, his lack of height is still flawed.

Then came Odom.

As early as the Clippers period, Pat Riley showed his love for Odom more than once.

Capable of controlling, passing, breaking through and playing in Los Angeles, Odom was once hailed as Magic Johnson II.

If you don't mention his troubles off the court, Odom is a real talent. discuss.

However, after coming to the Heat, the nominal power forward Odom is still one foot taller than the center Grant. Although he is the tallest starter, he is the team's actual offensive organizer.

He also worked hard to play well on this team, and in this year, Odom is also the real No.1 of the team.

The team's most reliable peripheral lock is veteran Eddie Jones. Jones, who is almost 33 years old, can still perform like a star and has a place in the league's shooting guard position. He is also the team's three-point perimeter production most players.

There will always be some players, you know what he is going to do next, but you still can't do anything about him.

For example, Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook, Jordan's fadeaway jumper, O'Neal's strong play at the basket.
There is also Wade's breakthrough that made people unbelievable in his rookie season.

In terms of speed alone, Wade may not be the fastest, but he can maintain the same high-speed turn and change direction during the breakthrough march, which is not easy for others to do.

And so far this season, Wade is only the team's third scoring point, behind Odom and Jones, but his average breakthrough and free throws per game can account for 19.2 of his average points. More than two-thirds, quite terrifying destructive power.

Many defensive players were passed by him before they could react, and it was too late to stop without fouling. This Heat's super rookie overwhelmed the penalty area of ​​other teams in the league in his first year.

Perhaps the only thing people can find fault with is that, as a guard who is not too tall, it is true that Wade is not good at shooting three-pointers.

But think about it carefully, now he is like Jordan when he was young, he can get three-pointers for breakthroughs, so why bother to look far away?
In addition, there is the defender Alstom.

In the 90s in the American street basketball bullring, Alstom was like a god. However, in the past, there were no shortage of street ball players who entered the NBA. Usually, these players have three major shortcomings, high turnover, poor defense, and unstable outside.

No matter how gorgeous your game is, there are no other more solid skills in the systematic professional arena. Just knowing some tricks and embroidered legs will not help you in real combat power.
It is undeniable that Alstom encountered such a problem when he first entered the league.

After five years of ups and downs, Alston came to the Heat and gradually put away his flashy style of play, and practiced hard on the outside. This year, he played full-time and surrendered 10.2 points and 4.5 assists as a backup point guard. The result, and the three-point shooting percentage is also a decent 37.1%.

Alston proved that he can not only have a place in the NBA, but even be a starting grade, excellent point guard.

The rest are like Caron Butler, the team's rotten king, Rasoul Butler, who has made great progress on the perimeter, and Haslem, who is hardworking and hard-working.
This is a team different from the hand-to-hand style of the 90s, and it is a brand new Heat team.

When Li Hao met Dwyane Wade for the first time, to be honest, he regarded Wade as the biggest opponent of the same rookie from the bottom of his heart. This point, even LeBron James, the No. [-] pick put so much pressure on him,

In Li Hao's view, Dwyane Wade, this seemingly quiet boy, is definitely the kind of guy who will give you a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Therefore, for today's game, to a certain extent, Li Hao is looking forward to it. He is looking forward to the duel with Wade.

But when the game started, Li Hao suddenly felt a strong danger to this Heat team, which he had never played against before and knew nothing about.

This Heat team gave him the feeling of infinite possibilities, the kind of feeling that makes it difficult for you to find obvious targets.
