After Wade left, the Heat struggled several times in the Eastern Conference, always hovering on the edge of the playoffs. Relying on Dwyane, Dragic and others, the Heat did not fall to the bottom.

This season, the Heat have fluctuated between fifth and sixth in the Eastern Conference. This is the difference among playoff teams.

The Heat's starting point guard is Dragic, who averages 22.8 points per game, ranking 15th in the league, and averages 6.7 assists per game, ranking 14th in the league. In the NBA where many players are competing, this is

A defender is pretty good. Although he is not up to All-Star level, Dragic has been playing in the league for many years and still has a lot of experience.

The starting shooting guard, Solomon Hill, is a highly paid but incompetent player. With a salary of US$11.27 million and an average of 3.0 points per game, Pat Riley wanted to cry.

The starting small forward, Jimmy Butler, should be considered the core player of this Heat.

Jimmy Butler entered the NBA through the draft in 2011 and has played for the Bulls and Timberwolves. He was awarded the Most Improved Player in the 2014-15 season, was selected to the NBA All-NBA Third Team in the 2016-17 season, and was selected to the NBA All-Star 4 times.

lineup, and was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team 4 times. In 2016, Jimmy Butler represented the US men's basketball team in the Rio Olympics and won the Olympic men's basketball gold medal with the team.

On July 14, 2018, Butler formally rejected the Timberwolves' offer of a four-year, $110 million contract extension. On September 20, Butler formally submitted a trade request.

In the 2019 offseason, Jimmy Butler joined the Miami Heat. In 2020, Jimmy Butler was selected to the 2020 Chicago All-Star Eastern Conference reserve team.

Butler is an all-around forward and can become a good player in the NBA team. He has good athletic ability and speed, and has good enough strength and body control when breaking through. He is very confident in shooting and has great lethality in the mid-range shot. He is not easy to play.

Selfish, capable of assisting teammates to score. Active on both ends of the offense and defense, tough on defense.

Starting power forward, Kelly Olynyk, the 13th overall pick in 2013, is 2.11 meters tall. He has made significant progress in three seasons with the Celtics, from averaging 6.5 points per game to 12.8 points per game. But after arriving with the Heat,

, his performance is not as good as before, he may be the next DeRozan of the Spurs.

The starting center, Meyers Leonard, is also known as White Leonard. If you don’t know, Leonard is also drafted, and Meyers was drafted one place ahead of Kawhi.

, but now, there is already one heaven and one underground.

Meyers Leonard has a certain three-point ability, but he rarely has a chance to shoot, and rebounding is not his strong point. After all, he is only 2.13 meters tall.

The substitute lineup also includes Jae Crowder, Adebayo and others. In terms of paper strength, the Miami Heat are not much inferior to the Spurs. As long as they perform normally, they still have a chance to tie with the Spurs 50-50.

Before the game started, Radar and the Spurs were warmly welcomed by the host as soon as they arrived at the lounge of the American Airlines Arena.

After all, Miami is a passionate city, and Wade, the former soul of the Heat, has been waiting for a long time.

In the player tunnel, the radar was left behind.

"Hey, you are Lei, nice to meet you." At this time, Wade was wearing a pair of sunglasses and black casual clothes, very cool.

"Yes, Wade, nice to meet you."

Radar is also very happy. There are three very famous players wearing the No. 3 jersey in the NBA. One is the leader of the 1996 golden generation, two-time league scoring champion, and regular season MVP Allen Iverson. The other is the former league No. 1

One point guard, Chris Paul, who has always ranked first in assists and steals. The other one is the Triple Crown winner in front of him, the strongest No. 3 in the NBA, and the soul of the Heat, Dwyane Wade.

Radar has already met Iverson in Pennsylvania, and also played against Chris Paul in the game against the Thunder. Although it was only the first meeting, Radar and the two of them already have a very good relationship.

Now that I see this No. 3 radar, the strongest player in the NBA, I feel a little emotional. The Flash finally exited the court. That lightning-like breakthrough will never be seen again.

Wade gave Radar a big hug directly, which made Radar feel flattered and a little guilty at the same time. What did I do to make Wade treat me like this?

Wade did not hide his love and praise for Radar. He almost exclaimed: "Ray, you know, you are my favorite player after I retired. I find that I have become your fan. Every time you play,

I watch every game, your shooting, your breakthrough, your passing, I really like it very much."

Seeing Wade being a little incoherent, Radar did not expect that his charm would be so great that the Flash, who had intimidated the alliance for many years, would be so respected. However, out of the humility inherent in the Chinese people, Radar said: "Wade, I still have a lot to learn.

Yes, you are one of the role models for me to learn from.”

"I'm honored. I know you have learned many people's skills, such as Allen Iverson's change of direction, Tracy McGrady's pull-up, Derrick Rose's pull-up, and Kobe's fadeaway jumper. I think Kobe must have

It’s also a great honor. As you know, he and I are very good friends and I know him well.”

Speaking of Kobe, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Fortunately, someone came to the rescue in time. At Wade's invitation, Shark O'Neal also came over.

"Hey, man, you should have some fun chat, like, who does this place belong to today?"

O'Neal and Wade high-fived each other. These former partners, the two greatest contributors to the Heat's first championship, cherished each other.

O'Neal patted Radar's shoulder again and said: "Ley, we meet again. You can bring enough surprises every time we meet."

Radar also replied: "Nice to meet you, Senior O'Neal."

This sentence made the senior Huo Baole so happy that he kept laughing.

"Speaking of surprises, I didn't expect that a rookie player from China could score a 60-point quadruple-double. It's really unprecedented and shocking." Wade said exaggeratedly.

O'Neal joked: "If your opponent is Ray, I don't think you have a chance to shout that sentence, This is my house!"

Even the radar was a little over the top. He was praised by two NBA stars in person and even to the sky. I would have known that the combined championship rings of these two people would not be enough for one hand.

Radar said: "You are praising me, I am going to be proud."

Wade: "No, you won't. I believe in you and my own vision."

O'Neal: "Ray, are you confident against the Heat?"

Radar did not give a positive answer, but he did not deny it either, saying: "You know, the Spurs are currently short of major generals, there are trade disputes, and the team is short of personnel, which makes our game very difficult, but we will not be afraid, we are not afraid

Any opponent, we also hope to play against different teams.”

Wade: "I really like your confidence. It reminds me of when I was younger."

O'Neal once again got ahead of the radar and said: "Christmas will be here soon. I heard that Yao has prepared a gift for you. I am very curious. He has never given me a Christmas gift."

Radar is a little confused. Is Yao Ming preparing a Christmas gift for himself?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken, Yao prepared a Christmas gift for me?"

"Of course it's not wrong. Yao told me personally, but he just wouldn't tell me what it was."

Wade glanced at the time, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said: "Okay, Ray, it's almost time. I'm looking forward to your performance. For Christmas and other things, let's wait until this game is over."
