On November 2, all the walkers took a special plane to Miami.

The Heat are a special team, and it doesn't matter who their coaches are, because Pat Riley is secretly manipulating everything.

Riley has a perfect coaching career, and now he has gotten what he wants and becomes a godfather like the Cardinal. The authority of a team is in his hand. He only needs to work with the financial backers above the team and no longer has to look at anyone's face.

No matter who it is, as long as it is the people and things of the team, he has absolute right to speak.

It is perfect for a control freak like him to have such rights.

From the 1990s to the present, Riley's Heat has always been a very distinctive Eastern Conference strong team. It attaches importance to defense and oppression, emphasizes confrontation and physical contact. The offensive end relies on passionate guards to serve the whole team.

If it weren't for Arenas' amazing rise, they would still be in the quagmire.

Now, with Arenas as the core, they have created another Eastern strong team with distinctive characteristics.

The Pacers' first match in the new season, and their opponent is this unique team.

The mascot at the American Airlines Center scene ran all over the venue, running around, and his figure was everywhere.

When Xie Hou shook hands with Arenas, he ran past him.

"Can you let him stop?" Xie Hou asked.

Arenas said confidently: "Just as you can't stop me from scoring."

Last season, the Heat won several games with Arenas' performance. Now they are all full of confidence, as if they have won the Indiana.

Xie Hou thought that no matter how many harsh words were, they would not be as good as a perfect victory.

Therefore, he didn't say anything to Arenasdo, just let the game respond.

Ten minutes later, DJ passionately reported the names of the players on both sides, and the game was about to begin.

An interesting thing happened when the ball jumped at the beginning. Neither O'Neal Jr. nor Heat center Alonzo Mourning predicted the highest point of the ball.

They jumped up like a big sky, but didn't touch it, so they had to stand on the ground and shoot the landing ball.

Mooning's game experience is not comparable to O'Neal Jr. He took the ball, but Xie Hou's reaction was extremely fast. He was like an arrow flying out, and his strong body made him snatch the ball from Arenas's hand, accelerate, and fight against the defenders in the frontcourt. He didn't care who was close to him, raised his head and scored with a high goal, and scored with a basket.

"Arthur's scoring just now was like a robber who scored in. He snatched our ball! Forced to rush into the basket and score!"

Xie Hou turned around and looked at James Percy who was defending him.

All-round, willing to do anything, especially dirty and tiring work, celebrity thugs and bodyguards, Riley's favorite.

Xie Hou's smile made Percy feel contemptuous, the good and bad defense, the high and low intensity, just wait until the opponent's attack is over and see his expression clearly.

Xie Hou smiled, which shows that his defense is not strong enough.

The Heat's offense revolved around Arenas, but they had another ball holder on the court. Jason Williams, the most slutty defender in history, is a person who lives in the glory for later fans. He is a model of fame over strength. At the same time, like Carter, he is a player who was hurt by the glory.

Just looking at the highlights, fans will think he is always ready to make a shocking back pass, but in fact, when he transfers from the Kings to the Grizzlies, he becomes a steady defender, averaging 8.3 assists per game, only 2.2 turnovers, and a very beautiful assist and turnover ratio.

At the start of tonight, he passed a good goal to Arenas.

Arenas cut out the high-level shot from the right wing and shot.

2 to 2

The Pacers were looking for opportunities in the inside, O'Neal Jr. asked for the ball at a high position. Xie Hou heard that he had practiced a turnover shot during the offseason, so he decided to let him give it a try.

When everyone saw him leaning back and forth to hit, they could not push Mo Ning away, so they had no choice but to make a high jump shot that was a distance from the basket.

The Pacers retreated quickly and the Heat were no longer the team to fight back. When they saw that there was no chance, the white chocolate controlled the rhythm and let their teammates stop and landed in the position.

Soon, Mo Ning was about to get to the position and catch the pass.

Experienced veterans will not fight head-on with young people. They like to use force to fight and seize the time difference.

After an embarrassing season, O'Neal was eager to prove himself, but Mo Ning pushed him away and shot with his left hand, hit.

4 to 2

"Jermaine, relax. Just one goal back and forth." Xie Hou shouted.

O'Neal was about to take the position, but was called out by Xie Hou's gesture to play pick-and-roll for the Greeks.

He had no objection, and he could score both in the pick-and-roll and low post.

Pick-roll, roll, the Heat's defensive changes are interesting.

Percy, who was guarding Xie Hou, suddenly lost control, ran to block Xiao Ao's side, and Morning, who was guarding Xiao Ao, suddenly formed a double-team with Williams against Papalucas, and left Xie Hou alone standing on the outside and admiring himself.

Xie Hou quickly received the pass. The Heat's defensive arrangement was based on the impression of last season. They didn't know how much Xie Hou's long shots improved.

Xie Hou stabilized his center of gravity and started to shoot the first three-pointer of the new season.

5 to 4

"Arthur, who averaged only 20% of three-point shooting percentage last season, made the start of the night!"

“Did he strengthen his shots in the offseason?”

Questions arise, and the Heat will reconsider whether to give Xie Hou's outside shots enough respect.

Xie Hou is usually a very face-saving person. If someone asks him to make a fool of himself in public, he will definitely not do it. During the game, he is not afraid of being embarrassed. The Miami man would better let him go from beginning to end, so that he has the chance to break the NBA's individual three-point shooting number in a single game.

There is a problem with the Miami people's offense.

The walkers controlled every inch of the periphery.

"It's hard to score under such a defense!"

The commentator's words are just like the player's voice. The tactics cannot be opened, and the star's personal ability is the team's greatest reliance.

Arenas ran out to get the ball, and the person who defended him was the Pacers' rookie, Artest's starting small forward Danny Granger before his comeback.

Arenas is not known for his start-up speed, and Granger's defense is one of the selling points before the draft. His athletic ability is not the top-notch one, but his defensive skills and habits are excellent.

Arenas first changes direction and then breaks through.

They had physical contact first, and Agent Zero took the ball and stepped into the paint area, and whistled. It was impossible to whistle when it was put into contact before.

Granger lacks experience and is not careful when he hears the whistle. Arenas easily beats 21.

"Rookie, be more ruthless if you want a foul!" Papalucas shouted.

Granger nodded from afar. Didn’t he know that he didn’t know if he listened to this?

"What does he mean?" the Greek asked.

"I know, uncle." Xie Hou seemed to know how to read minds, "It's probably what it means."

Papalucas glared at Xie Hou. He was not an uncle.

Double-team when encountering a pick-and-roll, this is the defensive strategy set by Miami before the game.

Xie Hou called Papalucas' pick-and-roll with the ball, and the cooperation of two large defenders on the periphery made Miami look disillusioned.

Is that true?

Papalucas's body shape makes him very good when doing pick-and-rolls, and Xie Hou is like partnering with a pocket-sized inside player.

Moreover, the Greeks threatened with three-pointers, and the Heat did not dare to let his three-pointers go.

Therefore, the person who changed the defense of Xie Hou turned into white chocolate. Xie Hou started with malicious expression and swallowed the old white chocolate in front of him. His figure was not of the same level as Williams. His height and weight were not of the same level.

After the two contacted each other, a tragedy occurred.

The white chocolate was pushed away by Xie Hou, and the whole Heat team couldn't react. Half a second later, a thunderous dunk hit the top of their heads.

7 to 7

"I want me to tell you that your defense is not as strong as our private matchup." Xie Hou teased the white chocolate that he couldn't get hit, and just a simple word can anger the Miami people.

White Chocolate was pulled up by two teammates and said with emotion: "I don't want to defend that monster anymore!"

"Don't be so soft, the game will begin!" Mo Ning shouted.

After all, such an accident did not happen to Mo Ning, and White Chocolate didn't expect him to empathize.

Only those who have personally defended Xie Hou will know how terrifying it is.

"Arthur looks like he has gained weight." On the Heat, Stan Van Gundy finished the offense and defense in detail and expressed his opinion in front of the assistant coaches.

A teaching assistant said: "In the official information, Arthur still only reported 224 pounds." (i.e. 102 kg)

Van Gundy asked back sarcastically: "Do you believe kg is only 6-foot-10?"

The official information is not accurate. Some people deliberately report heights or shorts to try to hit a certain position. Some people do not update the latest data, which may be to confuse their opponents, or they may be too lazy to update.

Xie Hou's words, he neither wanted his opponent to know his weight nor was too lazy to update.

The Heat's tactics were too simple, and they kept relying on cover to cut out the two wings.

White chocolate passes are reliable, and Pacers' defense is more reliable.

They locked the space on both wings, causing their opponents to waste 15 seconds of time.

Arenas ran over to get the ball again and rushed into the penalty area with all his might.

Xie Hou was expected to have O'Neal and Kirirenko at the basket, so he simply let him go.

Arenas rushed in, confrontation occurred, and the whistle sounded.

His ball failed to take, and he caused the Pacers to have a second foul in a single quarter.

"Does this whistle be a little frequent?" Claire asked.

Strictly speaking, whistle is fine.

But before this year, NBA obviously did not have this style.

"The rumors may be true, and in order to encourage ball holders to break through and increase the fluency of offense, the scale of defensive fouls has become stricter."

In the first game of the new season, Xie Hou and his opponents didn't know why the whistle was frequent tonight.

Being in history, naturally, there is no way to know the direction of the future.

But fifteen years later, the league we've gotten used to: three-pointers, layups, free throws, wider space and faster pace of game.

The prototypes of those competitions all originated in this season.
