Chapter 211 There is an old man in the family

Watching Sun Yi walk into the locker room with a heavy heart, Coach Voi, who has led Chinese guys for two years in college, can clearly feel that today's little guy is a little different from usual. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Holding the first two data sheets, he carefully skimmed through them, but he didn't find any clues. The Knicks' No. 8 player played 18 minutes, shooting 5-of-9 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, to finish with 13 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. Judging from the data, the performance of the Chinese guy in the first half was very normal. It's just that Coach Woy, who is familiar with Sun Yi, always feels that the young man is a little not too excited today.

"Steve, what do you want?"

The double-digit lead in the first half put the Knicks coach in a good mood. Seeing his right-hand man, he looked thoughtful, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Woe handed over the data sheet in his hand and said with some uncertainty: "Sun Yi's performance today is a little strange!" ”

D'Antoni looked at the data in his hand and told the other party with a smile what happened to the conversation with the Chinese guy two days ago.

"Hehe, Steve, don't worry. He's just adjusting to his new role, plus the old guy's normal reaction to making the lad feel pressure. ”

Andre. Miller played six minutes and finished with six points and five assists on 3-of-3 shooting. D'Antoni's explanation and Miller Sr.'s extremely efficient play today made the young Knicks defensive coach finally understand the anomaly of that little guy.

……

With the team in the lead, the atmosphere in the visiting dressing room was very relaxed.

Since Richardson was traded to the Hornets, Sun Yi has a new neighbor in the locker room - Andre. Miller. The veteran point guard, who had been in the league for more than a decade, took out a photo from the cabinet and stared blankly at it after changing out of his wet jersey.

"Your family?"

Driven by curiosity, the young Chinese guy couldn't help but ask.

As if he hadn't expected anyone to be interested in this, Miller was visibly hesitant.

"Ugh! Yes. ”

"Your daughter is so cute!"

Sun Yi pointed to the little girl with curly hair in the photo and admired.

"You have a good eye, she is our little princess. It's a pity that I have too little time to spend with her. ”

A look of regret appeared on the face of the old fritter in this stadium. Quickly, Miller collected his feelings, turned to the young teammate next to him and said, "Are you familiar with that point guard of the Heat?" ”

"Heat point guard? You mean Mario? ”

The topic that the other party suddenly jumped to made Sun Yi not react for a while.

"yes, that's the little one."

"Well, it's an acquaintance, not a familiarity."

"Oh! Then you have an opinion about me! ”

Miller's words made the Chinese guy confused for a long time.

"Haha, isn't it? When I was in the 76s last season, you weren't as gentle with me on the court as you were today. ”

The other party's explanation made Sun Yi finally understand.

"I, I ......"

"Do you want to be the leader of this team?"

Miller's words surprised the Knicks' core guards, does the other party have mind reading?

"There's no need to deny it, if I were you, you'd do the same. I'd love to know, what kind of leader are you going to be? ”

At this point in the conversation between the two, there is no need to hide it. And the smart-minded Chinese guy can feel that the other party has no malicious intent.

"Andre, you know, it's different here than the NCAA. To be honest, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do. ”

At the Duke Blues, Sun Yi was the leader and soul of the team, but that was in college, where there was only a pure love for basketball.

"Okay, then I'll just say a few more words, maybe it will help you a little." Miller put the photo back in his locker and said with a look of reminiscence: "When I first entered this league, a lot of the old guys hadn't retired yet. Like Olajuwon, Ewing, Reggie. Miller, Stockton, and many more. They are the leaders of their respective teams, both on the pitch and in the dressing room. And, of course, Michael, who retired for the second time. ”

Miller seemed to feel a little cold when he said this, so he put a dry jersey on his body.

'They have different positions on the pitch, some are centre-forwards, some are defenders. The personality is even more varied, flamboyant, introverted, and calm. The only thing these guys have in common is their ability to lead the team to win constantly. ”

Miller Sr. glanced at his young teammate who was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and got up and walked out.

"It's really easy to be a leader, do what you can to help the team win, whether it's scoring or passing or even defending, as long as you can win."

Before the other party went out, a fluttering sentence made Sun Yi instantly understand the meaning of the leader.

Thank you, old fellow!

Andrey who just went out. Miller, who happened to meet head coach D'Antoni who was chatting with the coaching staff outside, made a slight eye contact, and each showed a knowing smile.

……

The Miami Heat's home atmosphere is a far cry from their name.

People living in this famous resort city on the South Coast of the United States seem to be at ease at any given time. Even if their team trailed behind at the American Airlines Center, the fans in the stands still didn't have any nervous expressions.

They seemed more interested in the doughnuts in their hands, chatting about topics unrelated to the game, and the hot and sexy Miami girl, holding up her phone and taking selfies happily with her girlfriends......

Although the atmosphere created by the home fans is difficult for the Heat players to be satisfied, these highly-paid professional players only need to win as long as they step on the court. Not only for the fans who spend money to buy tickets, but also for their own and the team's honor.

As the soul of the Heat, Wade has been showing his talent and sweat under the Heat banner since he entered the league. He has long been accustomed to this kind of home atmosphere, and he is still full of confidence to win this game.

"Mike, if you have the chance, they can't stop you."

The Flash, who was a little angry by the Knicks' defense, handed over the unlimited firing power in his hand to his teammate Beasley, who felt good today.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

The Heat's power forward will definitely not be humble in the face of such a rare opportunity to show his talent.

……

After the start of the third quarter, the Heat, who were behind the score, launched a tidal wave of offense. Especially after Wade adjusted his playing style, it became more powerful. In the face of the Knicks' resilient defensive system, the Flash is no longer as focused on the basket as they were in the first half. It's more about drawing the opponent's defensive attention and passing the ball to a teammate in a better position to complete the shot.

Beasley was the home team's brightest star of the second half after a brief lull in the second quarter. Repeatedly in David. The Heat power forward who scored in front of Lee forced D'Antoni to try his luck with Milicic.

Although the Serbian handsome man was taller, Be-easy, who was experienced in the game, immediately stopped his outside jumper and began to use his speed to break through.

Beasley's sudden outburst of the Heat team left Coach Voy, who was in charge of the team's defense, constantly writing and drawing on the strategy board. On the court, the margin was narrowing, leaving the Knicks' players' confidence and defense shaky.

Now, someone has to step up and save the day.

The game so far, is Mario. Chammos faced Sun Yi in the easiest confrontation ever. Although he still can't defend his opponent, the Chinese guy doesn't seem ready to kill him today.

As the Heat narrowed the deficit to three points, Chanmos suddenly felt a familiar pressure rushing over him. The home team's point guard didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed the opponent in front of him.

The Chinese guy who dribbled the ball through the half court did not hold the ball too much and passed directly to Wilson, who received on the right side of the arc. Chandler.

Hey! Could it be my delusion?

The nervous Heat point guard breathed a little in his heart and continued to chase the Knicks' No. 8 player who was heading to the bottom line. In order to keep up with his opponent, it took a lot of effort for Moneymos, and many opponents' off-ball screens along the way were alertly dodged by him. Although the people did not lose it, the distance between the two became wider and wider.

Seeing that Chanmos was about to lose control of his opponent's leading scorer, the Chinese guy with long hair did not continue to move to the sideline, but directly asked for the ball with his back on the right rib.

Holy! He's still going to get me!

In the previous games, Sun Yi's shots were mostly near the three-point line, but this time he suddenly ran to the restricted area to ask for the ball, which made many Heat players forget for a while that this is a guy who must be defended by wrapping up.

Boom!

The Chinese youngster, who received the ball from his teammates, leaned the defender behind him a little away, and then directly turned around and threw a backward jumper.

Chanmos, who is 1.86 meters tall, can only symbolically open his arms to prove that he is not out of position.

Swish!

The Knicks' No. 8 shot extremely high and hit the bullseye accurately.

At this critical moment, it was the league's best rookie last season who stabilized the army's morale with a flowing jumper.

The home team, which had lost momentum, was finally unable to recover the score before the end of the third quarter.

74 to 78!

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams were evenly matched.

Of course, if it weren't for Beasley's sudden outburst today, there's a good chance that the game would have gone into garbage time early. This talented player who has been famous in American basketball since he was a teenager scored 26 points and 7 boards on 10-of-13 shooting, including 2-of-3 three-pointers and 4 free throws.

The Knicks, who entered the league in the same year as him, made a strong effort in the second half of the third quarter and improved his statistics for this game to 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. If it weren't for the Heat's entrapment tactics, Sun Yi would probably make poor Qian Moss cry again.

The four or five minutes at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the final quarter are usually the time for the starting lineup to prepare for the game. However, if there is a huge difference in the strength of the rotation lineup between the two teams, it is likely that in these few short minutes, the team's previous efforts will be buried.

by Carlos. Arroyo, James. Jones, Dorel. White, Haslem, Joel. Anthony's Heat bench lineup was beaten by Miller Sr. and a group of Knicks boys in their early twenties.

90 to 80!

The home team had to re-enter the starting line-up with just two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, which had not been fully rested.

The lead left Knicks coach D'Antoni firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and he didn't rush to show all his cards, but let the well-performing rotation lineup wear off the opponent's physical strength for a while.

The mustache's wishful thinking, before he could pull a few times, was crushed by the Flash who entered a state of rage. Wade, who continued to kill with breakthroughs, scored 10 points alone in just two minutes, quickly narrowing the gap between the two teams to two points.

Directing on the spot has always been D'Antoni's biggest weakness in coaching, and he has been too indecisive at times. Woe, who has been studying under Coach K for many years, might as well not be particularly familiar with the relationship between himself when he first entered the team and the head coach, so he would have gone to the other party to bite his ears a long time ago.

92 to 90!

The visitors, whose lead had disappeared, finally landed in the main lineup with two more minutes of rest. No, not exactly. The old Miller, who performed well, was left on the court by D'Antoni, and the Chinese teenager Sun Yi changed to shooting guard, and the small forward is still Wilson. Chandler, and Al in front of him. Harrington was hired, and the center veteran McDyes.

The Knicks' change of formation is obviously ready to use the Chinese guy with the strongest individual ability of the team to go toe-to-toe with the Heat's top star.

After the game restarted, Wade gave Sun Yi a dismount as soon as he came up. Without warning, the three-point dry pull made the Knicks core players can only look at the ball and sigh.

93 to 92!

The home team, which had trailed for most of the game, finally overtook the score in the fourth quarter.

The American Airlines Center Arena has a hint of home atmosphere at this moment. Some of the fans, attracted by the game itself, dropped their food and stood up from the comfort of the spectator seats.

Heat President Pat Brown, who watched the game from the sidelines. Riley, however, sat there steadily. His face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to feel nervous at all. But if you look closely enough, you can see that this old man, known as the 'God Operator', is constantly rubbing the huge gemstone ring on his finger.

……

From leading by 10 points to being overtaken by the opponent, many young teams encounter this situation, and it is easy to lose more and more due to psychological imbalance. If this game had been played last year, the Knicks would have been more than lucky.

As the saying goes, though. There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

Andre. Miller and Antonio. The presence of McDyce made the young Knicks not panic and mess up.

Miller Sr. dribbled the ball steadily across the half-court, and without rushing to call for tactics, he slapped the ball at the top of the arc. Miller's dribbling seemed magical, and several of his younger teammates quickly calmed down. (To be continued.) )
