Chapter 68 Fight against the Heat, eat him alone in the way Wade is most familiar
On November 3, the Phoenix Suns will face their second opponent of the new season at home, the Miami Heat!
The Heat have a very famous name, winning the NBA championship in 2006.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this team is at the end of its rope.
In the opening game of last season, the Heat lost by 42 points at home, setting a record for a defending champion losing in an opening game.
In the first round of the playoffs, they were swept by the Bulls and eliminated in an embarrassing manner.
After winning the championship, the old guys retired. They had no ambition and no ambition, so that was it.
Especially the core Sharks inside, O'Neal averaged only 13.6 points per game last season, a career low, and was basically in a state of failure.
Although he is still very powerful at the basket, it is difficult for people to equate O'Neal with the first center.
The Flash is still the same Flash, but the shark obviously can no longer swim.
It's really disappointing that the Heat's record has declined so quickly, but it's not surprising.
This is the team's choice. The team management selected a group of veterans to assist Wade in winning the championship. They chose the present, which naturally overdrawn the future.
...
...
It was 6:15 p.m., 45 minutes before the game started, and the entire American West Arena was already packed!
Although the Suns are a small market, their team's performance is online, their style of play is very passionate and entertaining, and their box office is naturally booming.
When Chen Yan walked out of the tunnel, he glanced at the stands. There were obviously many more fans wearing his No. 0 jersey than on the field.
Although there are still the most fans wearing Nash and Stoudemire jerseys in the stadium, Chen Yan feels that his attention is rising sharply.
Seeing Chen Yan come out, fans on both sides kept asking for his autograph.
In the last game, before the start of the game, Chen Yan was surrounded by a large number of fans because he was standing there signing autographs, and he almost couldn't get away. This time, he learned smarter and signed autographs while walking.
Not only his on-field experience, but Chen Yan’s various off-field experiences are also slowly accumulating.
After the warm-up period, Chen Yan returned to the locker room with the Suns players.
In the locker room, D'Antoni said he had nothing special to say.
The Heat's lineup is seriously aging, and the key to beating them is one word: fast.
In short, just run and gun like hell and that's it!
After changing their jerseys and putting on their equipment, the Suns will line up and walk out of the tunnel.
The entrance ceremony has begun!
This game was not broadcast live across the United States, but CCTV still broadcast it.
"The Heat were the defending champions last season. Their No. 2 position was Wade, who won the FMVP that year. He is one of the top shooting guards in the NBA. I wonder if Chen Yan can still play against a star of this level.
Perform as well as you did in the last game!”
In the cctv5 studio, Zhang Weiping said to the camera in a Beijing style.
"Chen Yan and Wade are two players with very similar technical characteristics. They both have extremely fast speed, flexible footsteps and strong impact. If these two open up, it will be great to see them on the court!"
Yu Jia said from the side.
Before the game started, Wade did a signature pull-up circle before the game started.
Chen Yan smiled silently not far behind him.
Do this opening ceremony more often while you are young. If you wait until your cheeks get bigger in a few years, it will easily lead to hanging...
Heat starting lineup: Jason Williams, Wade, Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, O'Neal
Suns starting lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire
As the referee blows the whistle, the game officially begins!
O'Neal just touched his toes symbolically, and then watched helplessly as Stoudemire flicked the ball away above his head.
O'Neal has been paddling since the jump ball, but with his current body function, he probably wouldn't be able to jump with Stoudemire even seriously.
The moment Stoudemire put the ball in Nash's hand, Chen Yan started.
Accelerate and run towards the frontcourt without the ball!
Ricky Davis, who was responsible for guarding Chen Yan, was in a fugue at the beginning. By the time he reacted, he couldn't even see the taillights of Chen Yan's car.
Nash flicked the ball directly near the center circle!
"Clang!"
Chen Yan soared into the sky, grabbed the ball with both hands and completed an alley-oop!
Many fans were still eating popcorn with their heads down, but when they looked up, why did the Suns score?
"Beautiful!!"
"nice shot!!"
The two cctv5 commentary voices instantly increased several degrees!
If this wasn't what the two of them were shouting at that moment during the live broadcast, it would probably be a shame.
"Nah! What kind of magic ball is this?
"Even the courtside cameras couldn't keep up with the speed of this alley-oop!"
"One pass is accurate, the other is a hard dunk!"
"This is the fastest alley-oop in the NBA, right?"
The majority of domestic fans were also amazed. This was the first time for everyone to see such a performance.
After landing, Chen Yan and Nash high-fived in celebration.
Nash was indeed very comfortable passing the ball. Chen Yan even felt that he was not looking for the ball while running, but that the ball was looking for him.
"Keep an eye on people! Don't let your opponent easily get out of the way!"
Pat Riley roared on the sidelines with a displeased look on his face. No head coach would be happy if such a big player was missed in the opening game.
Heat offensive possession.
'White Chocolate' Williams dribbled across half court and found Wade.
Wade did not rush to take the ball after holding the ball. Facing Laga Bell's defense, Wade chose to hold the ball and wait for cover.
The moment O'Neal mentioned the high position, Wade also started!
Wade is one of the best perimeter players in the entire league at playing pick-and-roll, and Lagar Bell was already prepared for this. He chose to move in advance to get around O'Neal's big wall.
However, Wade did not pass O'Neal's pick-and-roll.
After taking a step laterally, Wade suddenly changed his rhythm and slipped directly between O'Neal and Stoudemire!
Although Wade is nicknamed The Flash, he does not blindly pursue speed during the breakthrough process. He often obtains breakthrough space by breaking through the rhythm and pace.
Wade's drill directly left Stoudemire and Laga Bell behind.
Facing the unguarded penalty area, Wade made a smooth transition and dunked!
The score on the field was 2 to 2.
Both sides scored two wonderful goals, and the fans in front of the TV suddenly became excited!
As soon as Wade scored the goal, Diaw's baseline ball came out.
The Suns intend to speed up the game tonight. O'Neal's current movement speed is extremely slow. As long as the Suns play fast enough, O'Neal's role on the defensive end will be infinitely close to zero.
Nash dribbled the ball quickly, and Chen Yan and Laga Bell crossed paths and suddenly accelerated forward!
The Heat's defensive players were very alert, and Chen Yan's move was very much like trying to copy the alley-oop in the opening game.
Just when the Heat players' attention was focused on Chen Yan's movement, Nash suddenly fired from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!"
The basketball drew a rainbow and hit the net accurately.
For a player like Nash who has been in the 180 club all year round, there is no difference between letting him take easy shots and letting him score directly.
Heat baseline serve.
After halftime, 'White Chocolate' wanted to give it to O'Neal and let him sit and hit.
Unfortunately, there was a slight problem with the tacit understanding between the two. O'Neal wanted to ask for the ball directly, but White Chocolate thought he wanted to play a reverse hang with him.
White Chocolate dropped the ball directly to Dior's hand.
The moment the Heat made a mistake, Chen Yan's supercar engine had started!
A new fast break has appeared, how can it stagnate?
Only Wade on the Heat's side returned to half court in time.
Diaw accurately guided a long pass!
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan rushed to the three-point line at high speed!
Face Wade!
1v1 man battle!
All home fans stand up!
They are looking forward to how Chen Yan will end this round of offense.
Wade was staring at Chen Yan's route from the front. His shot-blocking ability was second to none among guards. If Chen Yan dared to beat him with the ball, he would treat him to hot pot!
Chen Yan continued to accelerate, and the moment he got close to Wade, he stepped around the ball and passed him!
Cross directly from Wade's left to the right!
It flashed over Wade's head in a second!
Farke!
Wade cursed secretly!
From the moment Chen Yan stepped forward, Wade knew he couldn't guard the ball.
"Boom!!!"
After passing Wade cleanly, Chen Yan bombed the basket with one hand!
Elegant passing, explosive dunk!!
What could be more exciting for fans than this?
The fans in the audience were like lobsters in the pot, boiling instantly!!
This is a typical Wade style pass!
In this round, Chen Yan used Wade's most familiar method to defeat him alone.
