Last season, the Heat simply failed in the second half of the season, which also gave them the opportunity to compete for the No. 1 pick. In the end, they won the second pick and selected Michael Beasley, a talented forward from Kansas State University.

This season, they made a comeback and continued to use Wade as the core, again.

Compared with the Heat, the Kings are naturally much more miserable. No matter what, they are led by the top three shooting guards in the league and have a talented second overall pick as the future, but what do the Kings have? They want immediate combat effectiveness.

If you have immediate combat power and want a future, it is really infuriating that people are more powerful than others.

The Heat ranked last in the league last season, while the Kings ranked 11th in the Western Conference. Logically speaking, the latter should be stronger. But comparing the lineups of the two teams this season, anyone with a right mind can clearly find that

The difference in strength is very obvious.

There is a difference between pretending to be bad and really bad.

On the evening of November 1, the Kings challenged the Miami Heat away at the American Airlines Center Arena.

Before the game started, players from both sides were practicing shooting.

Xie Kai wore training clothes and practiced shooting seriously. He got a chance to play in the last game, so he is very confident in this game. In fact, he is very confident in every game. He is a rookie and he has not yet

I have experienced the bitter days of losing streak.

Xie Kai has acquaintances in the Heat. Currently the Heat's starting point guard Mario Chalmers is his teammate at the University of Kansas.

The two were very happy when they met, and Chalmers gave Xie a bear hug.

"Kane, long time no see. Now that we are in different teams in the league, it's not easy to meet each other!" Chalmers said with a smile.

Xie Kai was also very happy: "Yes, you are in Miami now, I am in Sacramento, Brandon is in Indiana, and Darrell is in Memphis. Each one has his own master!"

"Kane, having said that, I was in the second round of the draft, not as good as you, but now it seems... I am the only starter!" Chalmers said proudly.

"You were underestimated to begin with, but your luck is a little better!" Xie Kai squinted and laughed.

"Luck is also a part of strength, you have to admit it, right?"

"That's true!"

Chalmers is indeed lucky. It just so happens that the Heat do not have a strong No. 1 position, and his 3D attributes are very suitable for partnering with Wade, so in his rookie season, he became a backcourt partner with a superstar of Wade's level.

Such treatment!

However, Xie Kai doesn't think Chalmers really depends on luck. His defense and basic skills are very good. He is also the main defender of the NCAA championship team and has been tested in competitions.

The Heat's management and coaching staff are not fools. Is Pat Riley stupid?

There are a lot of fans in the American Airlines Center today. The team started to falter in the second half of last season, and the attendance at the arena was indeed a bit bleak during that time. However, this season the core of the team, Wade, has returned with full blood and talent.

The joining of rookie Beasley has given fans great confidence in the future of this team. They believe that the team can rebuild its glory and win the trophy again one day in the future.

During this game, Pat Riley, the Heat's general manager with a slicked back hair, also came to the scene and sat on the sidelines to inspect the team's performance.

The current head coach of the Heat is Erik Spoelstra, who became the head coach of an NBA team for the first time this season. He is also the first Filipino head coach in NBA history.

As Riley's successor, Spoelstra is not an "airborne soldier". He has been a staff member of the Heat as early as 1995 and has served as the team's video coordinator, scout and assistant coach.

Therefore, Spoelstra can be regarded as the result of the Heat's "internal digging", and his growth experience can be regarded as quite inspirational. However, there are also many doubters who believe that he is not a bullshit inspirational model, but is simply Riley's puppet.

But whether he is an inspirational man or a puppet, his identity as the head coach of the Heat cannot be fake.

Xie Kai looked at the Heat coach, who had the same black hair and eyes as himself, and felt that it was much harder for Asians to gain recognition in the field of American professional sports than it was for white people.

The commentators for this game were Hubie Brown and his partner Mike Tirico.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Heat at home is: Center - Udonis Haslem, Power Forward - Michael Beasley, Small Forward - Shawn Marion, Shooting Guard - Dwyane

Wade, point guard - Mario Chalmers.

The Heat's starting lineup includes this year's two rookies - No. 2 pick Beasley and second-round pick Chalmers. The average height of their starting lineup is relatively short, and the tallest center Haslem is only 206.

The starting lineup of the Kings in the away game is: center-Spencer Hawes, power forward-Mitch Moore, small forward-John Salmons, shooting guard-Kevin Martin, point guard-Benno

Udri.

"Mike, this game in Miami is still a continuation of the last game, using a small lineup with Udonis playing center. But Sacramento still uses a traditional double inside lineup. Who do you think will take the lead in such a competition?" Hu

Mr. Brown asked questions to his partner.

"Miami's lineup is small, but their defense does not seem to have been greatly affected. This lineup is fast, highly mobile, and has good shrinkage. Facing Sacramento without internal and external points,

I think the possibility of the inside being blown up is not high," Mike Tirico said.

"If Mitch is replaced by Zach Randolph and John is replaced by LeBron James, Miami's inside line will be struggling!" Hubie Brown smiled slyly.

"If the opponent has this kind of lineup, then Mark Blount or Joel Anthony will definitely have to play together." Mike Tirico said.

Amid the cheers of the fans on site, the game is about to begin.

With Moore and Haslem jumping the ball near the center circle, the game officially began.

Xie Kai, who was sitting on the visiting team's bench, looked at the court very seriously, paying attention to every move in the game. He focused on the opponent's core - Wade.

They also play the No. 2 position, so Wade is naturally the one that Xie Kai focuses on.

Even if there is a match between the two sides, Xie Kai will not let go of this opportunity to learn from Wade at close range.

Wade and Kobe are both No. 2, but their playing styles are completely different. Kobe's offense mainly relies on jump shots, while Wade mainly relies on breakthroughs. On the defensive end, both are extremely good, whether it is defensive positioning or pressure on opponents.

, they are all the top players at the No. 2 position in the league.

At the beginning of the game, the Heat took advantage of the momentum of their home court and, under the leadership of Wade and Beasley, took the lead in showing off their strength and led a 5:0 victory.

On the defensive end, the Heat's small lineup tested and attacked the ball holder from the outside, supplemented by quick rotations, making it difficult for the Kings to find good shooting opportunities.

The Kings' starting lineup also relies mainly on shooting. Although the overall height is excellent, confrontation is not their specialty. Under the opponent's highly confrontational defense, the offensive efficiency is extremely low.

The Heat's counterattack is very fast. The four starting players are all capable of holding the ball, and the offense and defense transition is very fast.
