Letting the defending champions play the Heat Big Three at the beginning is of course the result of the league's deliberate arrangement.

David Stern is supportive of the superstar huddle, and the chairman doesn't want to see the Atlanta Hawks dominate, so he will naturally use all sorts of ways to cause problems for the defending champions.

After careful analysis, in fact, there are only two common tricks of the alliance:

The first is to loosen the restrictions on superstar huddles and encourage more giants to group together;

Second, it is natural to give Ruan Erniu, who is receiving a fourth-year rookie salary cheaply, next year, and a new round of labor negotiations is about to begin, so we must make a "brute bull clause" come out, so that Erniu can grow a wave of salary, and test Tony Ressler's wallet.

At that time, even if the Hawks can barely maintain the main lineup, they will not be able to continue to strengthen it.

In fact, even the main lineup is difficult to maintain, Dragic rose quickly and became famous in the Finals, and Josh Smith's contract also expires, once the two Niu renew his contract with a high salary, at least one of these two will go, if Tony Ressler picks the door a little more, maybe both will be traded or given up.

It should be said that these two articles are not only the reason why Erniu chose to extend the contract, but also the alliance's plan to break up the Eagles.

A mature business league like the NBA has a way of maintaining balance between teams.

Of course, there are occasional misses, such as the Philadelphia 76ers 13 years later, who have been in the bottom three for many consecutive seasons, even if they give two more champions, it may not work.

Looking back at the opening game of the 2010-2011 season, in James's envious eyes, Ruan Erniu issued the championship rings of the 09-10 season to his teammates one by one before the game began, including Embarrassment, Lunar Eclipse, Bibi, Zaza Pachulia and others have won championship rings for the third consecutive season, and these people are all witnesses of the Hawks dynasty.

Even Dragic and Chris Anderson are both two-time champions, and the likes of Jamal Crawford, Mills and Sun Yue have won championship rings for the first time in their careers, and the players who have hitched a ride with the Hawks in the past two years are among the lucky ones.

The Eagles' starting lineup tonight is little changed from last season:

C Ruan Er Niu

PF Josh Smith

S.F. Matt Barnes

SG Joe Johnson

PG Goran Dragic

The Heat's lineup is somewhat beyond the expectations of experts:

C Chris Bosh

PF Joel Anthony

SF LeBron James

SG Dwayne Wade

PG Carlos Arroyo

Bosh actually went to play the No. 5 position, which means that the Heat are going to play the small ball to the end this season.

It's no wonder that the Hawks took Erniu, a short center, as the core, and played small ball for three years in a row, and as a result, the Hawks dynasty was established.

Bosh was excited from the start, he defeated Ruan Er Niu in the jump ball, and asked for the ball in the low post for the first time, wanting to single out Ruan Er Niu to show his ability.

Erniu is ready to withstand Bosh, the Dragon King's skills are not bad, and the rough brother who deceived Fei a little bit is not one or two.

However, Ruan Erniu, who had been defending for a long time, did not usher in the expected heads-up, but Arroyo, who held the ball on the outside, passed the ball to D. Wade, and D. Wade passed the ball to James.

With this hesitation, the opportunity has been missed.

Bosh immediately lifted up, and Erniu took a position in the middle, because he also saw at this time that James was going to go it alone.

Sure enough, LBJ broke through with the ball, and a single impact passed Barnes, and Erniu and Lunar Eclipse immediately retracted their defense, and Barnes besieged James.

James had to pass the ball back to Wade, and the cheeks saw that time was running out, and pulled out his hand from a distance......

"Bang!"

The iron is struck!

Erniu took the backcourt rebound and immediately held the ball to the frontcourt, James followed Erniu on the defensive end, and the two flew to the basket together.

"Boom!"

The two bulls showed strong individual ability in the transition between offense and defense, and it was a violent dunk against James' defense to open the scoring for the Hawks.

When the Celestial Empire people turned around to defend, they also glanced at James with a smile, which made James very unhappy, as if he had been despised just now.

On the offensive end of the Heat, James once again chose to force a breakthrough, and with Erniu entangled him, the lunar eclipse pounced from the flank, and a big hat flew the ball fan out of the sideline.

Joel Anthony's autonomous offensive ability is too poor, and the Lunar Eclipse has plenty of space to cover the wings at any time, and can rush out from the flanks at any time to help Erniu get the players who attack the basket.

In just two rounds, the Heat, a team hated, hated and feared by many fans, showed their weaknesses.

The Big Three were indeed the stars of their respective teams, and their individual abilities are needless to say, but when it comes to chemistry, it's really desperate, and the "Jenway Connection" that has been rumored to be miraculous in the next few years has not yet appeared, even if the "Janway Connection" has traveled through time and space to the present, the Hawks are not at all shoohed.

Because Erniu and Embarrassment's "Eryi Connection" lacks a strong dunk, it is better to be more stable, Embarrassment Sen has a return pass in his hand, and Erniu, who is high or flank, can end the battle with a stable mid-range shot, compared to the "Zhanwei Connection" that can only show its power in the fast attack, and the universality of "Erwei Connection" is higher.

If you have to look for a comparison in history, it is that Glove Payton was able to deliver wonderful open catches in the peak of Rainman Kemp, but Stockton played a lifetime of blocking and pick-and-roll with Karl Malone.

The above is only the current weakness of the Heat, and the biggest weakness that affects the Heat Big Three to hit higher goals is actually not in their attitude, but in their own position.

To put it simply, when there are two attackers on the team at the same time, James and Wade, Bosh's position on the offensive end becomes quite awkward, and he can no longer receive the ball directly in the low post and settle the battle in a single way like he did during the Raptors.

In the Heat, Bosh will definitely become the giant with the greatest sacrifice, because only by sacrificing his offense in the low post can he maximize the offensive talent of James and Wade and provide a stable high-post projection platform for the Heat.

In order to learn the Hawks' small-ball model, Heat head coach Spoelstra will definitely let D. Wade and James be more involved in the backcourt rebounding scramble, once these two guys get the backcourt rebounds, they can immediately launch offensive and defensive transitions like the Hawks' Kraft Nguyen.

Piercing the heart, Bosh!

It won't be long before James' style of play becomes more and more inward-looking and becomes a low-post terminator like Ruan Erniu, and a generation of "Dragon Kings" is bound to wear the hat of "Bo Yiban".

Now this Heat team has obviously not found its own way to attack, and gathering the Big Three does not mean that they are a whole, and a few blind fights are their only reliable tactics for the time being.

At 9:22, although the Hawks also played tight, the Heat's performance was indeed worse.

James shot 2-of-7 in the first quarter, D. Wade shot 0-of-4, and Bosh only got one shot from start to finish in the entire first quarter, and hit a mid-range shot.

The Hawks' joint defense has also been honed after three years of playoff playoffs, and the Heat's pure assault mode is not enough to inflict substantial damage on the dynasty team.

The poor performance of the Big Three was a big surprise, and David Stern, who came to the scene to supervise the battle, frowned, and he wanted to see a close battle, not a one-sided slaughter.

Fortunately, this is only the beginning of the season, and the Heat still have plenty of time to adjust their tactics and strategies.

The Heat are naturally unhappy with their performance, but this is not the case on the Hawks' side, and the Atlantans are naturally no problem on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, after losing John Salmons, who has been with the team for two seasons, everything has not gone smoothly.

Erniu said to Matt Barnes, who was sitting next to him: "Matt, if there is an open position, shoot directly, don't have any hesitation, if you can't shoot, J-Smoove, and the Birdmen will definitely grab the rebound in the frontcourt." ”

Ba Ye (Barnes) smiled and nodded, I don't know whether he listened gladly, or was satisfied with his performance, this thing is not completely without three-point ability, but compared with Salmon, it immediately pales in comparison, the Eagles' offense is ostensibly based on Ruan Erniu as the core, in fact, the team's pitchers are also crucial, without them to open up space for Erniu, Ruan Erniu is also impossible to take in the low post and mid-distance.

In the second quarter of the game, both small-ball teams began to pick up speed, and the two Janway seemed too embarrassed to continue to shoot wildly, so after breaking through, they often chose to send the ball to Bosh.

The Dragon King was suddenly confused, not because the ball was not well dressed, but because he was too well dressed, he really couldn't adapt to it, in Toronto, if he wanted to get a shot opportunity in the off-ball run, it was almost a matter of another space.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"

……

If you don't look at the technical statistics, you won't believe that Chris Bosh, one of the Big Three, will shoot 0 of 5 in a single quarter and score 2 points from the free throw line.

The Hawks took advantage of the situation to launch a wave of 15:4 attacks, which once again widened the score gap.

In the second half of the second quarter, James and Eddie House stepped up and scored back-to-back points to finally save a few points for the Heat.

At 21:30, the Heat lost by nine more points in the second quarter to end the half, and at 30:52, the defending champions extended their lead to 22 points in the first half.

At halftime, Woodson also said bluntly in an interview: "The Heat are a good team, but they are not a whole right now, I don't think this game has much reference value, only after the end of the season, when we meet again in the playoffs, I can make an assessment of the true strength of this team." ”

Egghead said very sincerely, even if they beat the current Heat, it does not mean that the Hawks will necessarily win against the Heat with the Big Three, the season is still long, and anything can happen.

While Atlanta's calmness is the result of a long period of victory, the Miami Heat's restlessness is the result of their imminent ambition and harsh reality.

Especially James, from the past preseason, James has fully appreciated the spurning of the all-meter audience, he is no longer the "chosen son" who everyone loves, but the most famous "traitor" in NBA history.

If he can't lead the Heat to victory over the Hawks, then his historical status may be ......

Wait, he doesn't seem to represent the Heat yet, and yes, that's the Miami Heat's third significant weakness – the lack of a core leader.

D. Wade thinks that James and Bosh are helping him to become Michael Jordan, but James thinks that he should be the boss of any team there.

At the same time, as a superstar, even the closest friends can't be invulnerable to their historical status.

If the previous weaknesses can still be adjusted with tactical strategy, then this weakness is probably a time bomb that may explode at any time for the Heat.

Even in Erniu's rookie season, if Embarrassment insists on going his own way, wants to isolate Ruan Erniu, and even makes a trick such as "I don't have him", I'm afraid there will be no Eagle Dynasty in the future.

Giants and giants are meant to sacrifice each other, not only in terms of data, but more importantly, in the repositioning of themselves and their teammates.

The snake can't do without a head, and the soldier has no owner.

If each player can't find their place in the team, the team will inevitably lack cohesion at key moments. If Wade and James don't get this issue right, they are destined to not win an NBA championship together.

The second half of the game started quickly, and D. Wade and James seemed to have finally discussed a countermeasure, since it was impossible to tell who was the boss for a while, it was better for both sides to do their best, and the two became the team's main point of attack in a quarter of the game.

I have to say that there is no way to do it, and it is often the most reliable way.

James, who was given offensive authority in the third quarter, immediately seemed to be back to the peak of his Cavaliers, breaking through with the ball in various ways, completely ignoring the Hawks' defense.

He shot 4-of-7 in a single quarter, including 2-of-3 three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter, helping the team recover a 5-point deficit at 27:22.

At 57:74, the Hawks still held a huge 17-point lead before the start of the final quarter.

It should be pointed out that Wade did not take the initiative in this quarter, and he made 1 of 2 free throws, scored 1 point and 3 assists, and completely gave up the stage to James.

The final quarter of the game started quickly, and Nguyen Er Niu didn't give the Miami any chance at this time, and he succeeded in the low post singles Bosh and the aging Igor Skas in succession, leading the team to play an 18-6 attack wave to seal the final victory in one fell swoop.

At 80:104, the Hawks got off to a good start at home, defeating the unbeatable Heat Big Three by 24 points.

After the game, all sorts of criticism and ridicule poured into the Heat.

"What about the Big Three? It's not that we lost to the Hawks, and James, a soft egg, never wants to win a championship for the rest of his life. ”

"Are the big three overrated? I've seen the best teams in the league win against three of the league's top 10 players. ”

"From the moment he left Cleveland, James no longer deserved to be compared to Michael Jordan, and besides, this era belongs to the Celestial Empire. ”

……

It didn't occur to James that this was just the beginning, and that the real abuse was far from over for him.

Nguyen was relatively relaxed at the post-match press conference, but some ill-intentioned Miami reporters asked him about the delay in renewing his contract.

Erniu smiled: "I can at least be sure that my next stop will never be the Miami Heat, because you have no space!"

The renewal is an economic account, and at the last moment, Erniu will not easily sacrifice his own interests to complete the renewal.

The Eagles, who won the opener, did not stop their steps.

They beat the Philadelphia 76ers on the road and then the Washington Wizards at home.

Then they went to Kecun again and defeated the Cavaliers without James, what they never expected was that Erniu was warmly welcomed here, and some fans even dragged out such a slogan: "Kill LBJ!"

James' TV interview caused a huge disservice to Cleveland fans, and Leon Rose did arrange a big stun.

After the victory over the Cavaliers, the Hawks returned to their home court to get the Detroit Pistons in the rebuilding period, and in order to prevent Monroe from losing confidence in the future in the match with the two bulls, Pistons head coach John Kuster simply used Ben Wallace to continue as the Pistons starter.

As a result, the degraded Big Ben only scored 0 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists in the whole game, and Ruan Erniu scored 65 points under the defense of Wallace and Monroe, completely crushing the Pistons' defense.

Fresh off at home, Atlantans are on a five-game winning streak to open the season to the road again, this time against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

This is the third trick of the league's restrictions on the Hawks, the strict schedule, at the beginning of the season, the Hawks have to go back and forth between home and away, saying that it is all automatically arranged by the computer, I am afraid no one can be convinced.

Not long after Er Niu got off the plane, he received a bad news, Yao Ming suffered another stress fracture in his left foot, and directly announced that Da Yao's 10-11 season would be reimbursed.

Ruan Erniu received a call from Da Yao directly from Houston, and on the phone, Da Yao expressed his desire to retire to Erniu for the first time.

Erniu didn't know what to say, so he had to say, "Treasure!"

In any case, Yao has made an indelible contribution to the men's basketball team, he is the first draft pick to land in the NBA, and he is also the most successful NBA player before Erniu, and he also brought the cornerstone of the men's basketball team to win the Olympic Games and the World Championships with Erniu.

It should be said that the existence of Yao Ming is not only the pride of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, but also represents the international image of the Celestial Empire people for a long time. His role is not only reflected in basketball, Da Yao is a bridge, connecting the exchanges between the Celestial Empire and the United States.

Yao Ming did not announce his specific retirement time, Erniu felt that he must still have one percent of luck, hoping to return to the court in the future, but injuries will not change because of the subjective thoughts of athletes.
