Returning to the NBA, Liu Han felt a little uncomfortable in addition to excitement, he was just a nobody when he first joined the NBA a few years ago, he was in the position of a challenger, and Liu Han at that time had nothing but Safina, who loved him wholeheartedly, and he had nothing else to challenge, he could challenge his goals without scruples.
By now, he is no longer a challenger, but a challenged, he has made a name for himself, his legend is circulating in the NBA, and countless latecomers are waiting to climb up his pedestal.
It's a feeling that Liu Han has never felt before, he is not used to being looked at by others with a desperate look, and in every game he encounters some young people who think they are "strong", maybe a few trash words, or some unnecessary physical contact.
In short, Liu Han now has to adjust his mentality, and at the same time, he has to say something about these young people who are trying to challenge him, and at the same time set a real goal for them.
After a day of rest, the Mavericks take on the Heat at home.
The Heat have experienced three consecutive defeats, head coach Stan "Fat" Van Gundy's seat is hot, and Pat Riley has to be skeptical of his decision.
Wade has been in a very low mood recently, although all the media were not optimistic about him before the draft, but he was still selected by the Heat with the fifth pick in the first round, but after he really arrived in the NBA, Wade found that the original game was like this, the original NBA game confrontation intensity is very different from that of the university, the head coach trusts him and lets him take on the responsibility of the team's offense, but Wade can't find a feeling in the game at all now, he is confused, and he can't find the direction of the way.
But when he thought of the next opponent, Wade was a little excited, because Liu Han was his idol, in high school, he was conquered by Liu Han's magical performance, he imitated Liu Han's various actions in his spare time, although Liu Han's super high three-point shooting rate he never learned, but this made his mid-range shooting have been greatly improved, coupled with the gradual development of his body, Wade finally got a good playing time in the third year of high school, and by the time he was in the fourth year of high school, he had become Okron Harold? The number one star of Richards Middle School.
So for being able to prove himself in front of his idols, Wade still attaches great importance to it.
But when Wade really started to face Liu Han on the court, he knew how big the gap between himself and his idol was.
In the American Airlines Center Arena, the home of the Mavericks, now when Liu Han plays, the most enthusiastic cheers will always sound in the arena, and the cameraman on the sidelines of the court used to shoot Cuban who watched the game from the sidelines, but now the cameraman has a new goal, and the beautiful Anna looks better than Cuban.
Wade was ready to perform well in front of his idol next, but after the game started, Wade was cut off by Liu Han in the Heat's first offense.
Jump ball Generally speaking, Nowitzki is difficult to win, so the Heat's first attack, Wade just arrived in the front court to get the ball before he had time to make a move, and Liu Han, who just turned around, took advantage of the moment when Wade leaked the ball out and directly pulled out the ball.
Wade only had time to raise his hand before the Mavericks' fast-break tide began.
Liu Han took the lead with the ball to the Heat halfcourt, and the Heat players could only chase after them desperately.
Liu Han, who came to the three-point line, completed the fast break with a one-handed slam dunk, and the game time was just less than ten seconds after this time.
At the end of the first quarter, the Heat scored only 16 points, while the Mavericks scored 36 points, and the 20-point difference in the first quarter made Stan Van Gundy sweat.
Liu Han went off the court in the eighth minute of the first quarter, Nelson felt that such a game to let Liu Han play is to ravage the other party, although the old man is very uninterested in Pat Riley, but he doesn't want to make too many enemies, since the opponent is so weak, it is better to use it to hone the rookie.
So Liu Han rested on the sidelines for the rest of the first quarter and the entire second quarter, and he even chatted with Anna behind him, in the American Airlines Center arena, Cuban's seat was in the first row behind the team's seats, and Anna was sitting next to Cuban.
After Liu Han got off the field, Wade felt that his game was a little easier, and the original shrunken action gradually opened, he showed some of his talents, such as the ability to change direction and accelerate, Wade's change of direction is not based on feints, but completely relies on speed to complete, the speed of the limit makes Wade's change of direction very threatening, Liu Han also observed this, he also felt that this young man with a little wide cheeks has great potential.
At halftime, the Mavericks extended the margin to 25 points, although Wade has a lot of potential, but that's just potential, and now he is still difficult to compare with some people on the Mavericks, not to mention Nowitzki, even Odom is much better than Wade.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Liu Han returned to the court, Nelson once again used an extreme lineup, Nowitzki played with a bench in the second quarter, and the Mavericks only had Jamison as a taller player in the third quarter.
The Mavericks who ran completely in the third quarter made it even more difficult for the Heat to resist, although the Mavericks' defense was really bad, if Liu Han didn't retreat the inside, the Mavericks' interior was almost undefended, but even so, the Heat had no way to catch up with the score, the Mavericks' outside projection was too accurate, the Heat team just scored one or two points, and the Mavericks fought back with three points, so the difference between the two sides became bigger and bigger.
By the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides had reached 34 points, and the Heat surrendered early.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Heat by 27 points 121-94, and their strength shocked the entire league for a while.
