O'Neill stretched and sat up from the hotel bed.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, then glanced at the time.

"Gan, it's still so early." With that, Shaq fell down again.

The bed was under pressure it shouldn't have at its age.

But when he lay down again, Shaq found that he was completely sleepy.

One fact that even Shaq couldn't believe was that when he came to Miami, he became more diligent than he had been in Los Angeles.

Of course, even the current Shaq certainly can't compare to those really hard-working players.

If you ask Pat. Riley: "Did Shaq start training seriously in Miami? ”

Riley, a training maniac, will surely shake his head and gnash his teeth and tell you, "He's trained Jimmy. Butler! ”

Because of the training, Shaq and Riley had a lot of conflicts.

But Shaq is indeed more diligent than his former self. When he was with the Lakers, Shaq's reasons for not going to practice could be published in a book called "The Escape Training Book".

But in the Heat, Shaq is at least rarely late and absent. And most surprisingly, he occasionally pulls Wade to practice shooting together.

But how did you practice...... Ahem, anyway, the attitude is there!

No, now Shaq is still infected with the "bad habit" of waking up early.

If Phil. Jackson knew that Shaq would not be late for training and rarely missed, and he would have been so surprised that he would stand up and call a timeout.

That's right, Phil. Jackson once said that if Shaq trains hard, he can win 10 MVPs.

And this year, Shaq, who is 33 years old and has begun to train a little seriously, ranks second in the MVP rankings, second only to the one who did a 7-second offense in Phoenix!

The KFC spokesperson is not lying.

In '95, Shaq was a strong contender for MVP.

In '00, Shaq won the MVP.

Now in '05, ten years later, Shaq can still be competitive in the MVP rankings.

Throughout the history of the NBA, such a player has also been extremely rare.

Jie is a Shaq who has started to train in earnest, and his horror is there.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Shaq simply stood up and prepared to go down for breakfast after washing, and by the way, he joined Pat. Riley's boring, miserable, indefatigable pre-game training.

Well, Pat. Riley particularly likes to give his players extra training before the game, which he feels will keep them in top shape.

What the? You said the head coach of the Heat was Stan. Van Gundy? He has the final say on training?

Naive!

Some people are still managers on the surface, but in fact, they can only be a tool man.

Stan. Van Gundy is really sad this year, on the one hand, he has to be tied by Riley, and he can't coach the team according to his own ideas.

On the other hand, you have to face Shaq, who is neither big nor small, and openly says that the head coach looks like a city movie actor, but you can't lose your temper with him yet.

It's simply the worst tool man.

When Shaq arrived at the hotel restaurant, he found that Wade had already helped him get the morning, a two-for-two.

This little brother, isn't he more eyesighty than the No. 8 in Los Angeles?

Why did Shaq suddenly become more diligent when he came to Miami? Isn't it just to make that No. 8 pay the price!

He's got to win the championship sooner than that guy!

"By the way, did you tell me something on the plane last night?" Shaq was eating his morning and struck up a conversation with Wade.

"It's nothing, it's just that I really want to take down the Pacers."

"Oh, isn't it a matter of course that the first in the East will win second in the East?"

"Hehe, I think so too!" Wademore is a fist, as long as Shaq is motivated, you don't have to bear his state!

In the afternoon, while acclimatizing to the court at the Bankers' Living Arena, O'Neal was sought after by many reporters: "Shaq, just returned from the All-Star Game, do you feel tired?" ”

"I'm tired of this shark! But not because of the All-Star Game, but because of the boring pregame training that some people did. Shaq spread his hand and didn't shy away from blacking Riley in a wave.

"Uh...... Do you think your fitness condition will affect your competitive performance? ”

"Even if it will, that person should be responsible!"

"When you say someone, you're talking about Pat. Riley? ”

Hearing this, the shark laughed, "That's what you said, not me." Tomorrow when you write news in the newspaper, remember to add the sentence 'I guess Shaq is Riley', and that's professional. ”

The tense game that finally stirred up was stunned by Shaq's transfer of contradictions.

So, instead of surrounding Shaq, the reporters ran to Wade's side.

"Even though the All-Star break has just ended, we're still in good shape. We're going to try to extend the winning streak and Shaq said he'd do it too. ”

It can be seen that Wade really wants to win.

Nonsense, the text messages were sent to Guagua, it's shameless not to win!

Two hours later, the Banker's Life Arena was buzzing.

The first major event after this All-Star Game is something fans have been waiting for a long time.

Brother Wei looked at Wayne before the game and muttered something to Shaq, as if he was saying to Shaq: "Big brother, that's that kid!" ”

However, Wayne ignored Shaq and Dewee, and instead walked straight to the Heat's bench and hugged a player that most people didn't care about.

"Brother Wang, hello, hello, we finally met."

Wang Zhizhi smiled and hugged Wayne, but the smile was obviously very reluctant.

First Yao Ming, then Wayne.

Seeing that they have all achieved greater success in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi's heart is somewhat complicated.

Because the last time the Pacers and the Heat met, Wang Zhizhi was not on the squad. So today, it is the first time that Wayne and Wang Zhizhi have met.

But this time Wayne and Wang Zhizhi embraced, unlike the last time they faced Yao Ming, there were hundreds of millions of people's eyes staring, and there was a circle of cameras around them.

For well-known reasons, Wang Zhizhi and Wayne's encounter in the NBA is not taken seriously by China.

Even, CCTV deliberately avoided the broadcast of this game.

"Fight well, work hard. If you can do it, everyone is optimistic about you. After the hug, Wang Zhizhi patted Wayne's arm and turned around and walked back to the bench.

Compared with Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi is more introverted, doesn't talk much, and doesn't like to joke.

Moreover, it can be seen that he is not in a high mood, and he really can't make jokes now.

In Miami this season, Wang Zhizhi played less than 5 minutes per game, and most of the games were played on the bench, and he did not play smoothly in the NBA.

And in the country...... It's even more of a chicken feather.

Can emotions be high?

Wayne didn't continue to say anything to Wang Zhizhi, some problems can only be solved by waiting until a specific point in time and encountering a specific incident.

For example, the 2008 and Beijing Olympics......

After a brief interaction with Wang Zhizhi, Wayne also returned to the bench.

Well, the bench.

Today, the King of Cornfield Comedy still decided to let Wayne play the sixth man, and use Foster to carry the shark that swims east.

When it is time to score points, let Wayne play as the number three!

Seeing that Wayne didn't start, Di Wei's enthusiasm was instantly cut in half.

This Nima, the enemy is not there, what kind of revenge do I have?

In that case, then don't blame me for forcing you out with my explosive scoring performance!

Both starters are ready, and the starting five Tigers on the Heat's side are Wade and Damon. Jones, Eddie. Jones, Haslem and the Fat Shark.

Wade is the number one player, so the ball is in his hands most of the time.

"Hey, don't get blown up again today." Before jumping the ball, Yin Yang Tai Chong Xiao Ao said something that almost didn't him off.

Xiao Ao did not respond, but focused on the game.

As everyone knows, after the opening, the first person to be educated was precisely the gloating coward.

Today, Carlisle deliberately used Tyre to defend Wade, hoping to contain this sophomore breakthrough.

Wade is not afraid to face last season's best defensive player. He slowly controlled the ball beyond the three-point line, and then suddenly accelerated with a change of hands.

It was such a seemingly simple change of direction, but it almost didn't make Yu Tai break his ankle.

Ah Tai really said the most ruthless words and was beaten the most viciously.

Wade's first step was so fast and the arc of change direction was so large that he didn't give Atai a chance to confront at all.

The point is, Wade's feints are indeed very realistic, and even Atai can't accurately predict Wade's next move.

Wade pressed his weight very low, as if he were flying close to the ground.

At this time, Miller Sr. stepped up to the defense, hoping to force the Heat No. 3 to stop.

But Wade was still able to switch speeds accurately in the process of high-speed travel, facing Miller, Wade first paused, and then turned and wiped under the basket and made a layup.

The basketball went past O'Neal Jr.'s fingers and grazed the rebound and crashed into the net.

Wade's breakthrough shocked the Pacers fans into a cold sweat as soon as he came up.

"It's not personal!" Countless Pacers fans drooled while insulting.

"He scored a very beautiful goal as soon as he came up, and he was in much better shape than he was in the rookie game." The on-site commentators all praised Wade's performance.

Guagua: "Good brother, if you want to play like this in the rookie game, will you lose?" ”

Chill the breath!

Later, Xiao Ao singled out Haslem in the middle distance, thinking it would be a breakthrough.

As everyone knows, Haslem was really positive in defense today.

In the rookie game, it was completely used as a background board, and Haslem was also aggrieved.

Although Wayne's hottest image in the All-Star Game was the earth-shattering 360° ball smashing into the basket.

But in Haslem's heart, the most memorable picture of the All-Star Game was the moment when he was blocked by Wayne!

So as soon as the All-Star came back, he ran into the Pacers, and Haslem was very strong in his will to fight.

was pushed open by Xiao Ao, and he pasted it again, giving Xiao Ao great interference with an extremely tough physical confrontation.

In the end, Xiao Ao missed a turnaround jumper under Haslem's defense.

The Heat's counterattack was quick, but fortunately Artai forced Wade to slow down the loss before he could fully gain momentum, and the game fell into position.

Atai's defense did work, and if this ball was replaced by someone else's defense, Wade would have been able to hit the frame directly.

However, the Heat are not afraid of positional offense, and this time, the Fat Shark actively went to a deep position, and Wade sent the ball in as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Xiao Ao immediately grabbed it, but the fat shark did not insist on singles, but passed the ball to Haslem who was leaked.

Haslem made a mid-range shot, and O'Neal Jr.'s defense was half a beat slower.

That's it, the basketball hollow into the net, and the Heat lead 4-0!

"It doesn't seem to work very well with Foster." Next to Carlisle, Mike. Brown reminded.

"At least Shaq passed the ball." Carlisle had a serious expression and played the Heat, he really wanted to win.

Because at the moment, in addition to the Pistons, the Heat is the biggest obstacle preventing the Pacers from reaching the Finals.

It's not just about the regular season standings, it's a preview of the playoffs.

Whether they can beat the Heat will directly determine how far the Pacers can go this season and whether they can break through.

The Pacers' second offense, Reggie. Miller shoots from beyond the three-point line.

Artay rushed in the moment Miller shot, ready to take the offensive rebound by surprise and show the enthusiasm of the Pacers.

However, Artai had just taken off when he was knocked out of position.

Beside him, Haslem forcefully squeezed Artey in the air to protect the rebound!

The future captain is really iron-blooded!

"I'm empty, I'm empty!"

At this moment, Atai heard a familiar shout.

Who would dare to steal my mantra?

When I turned my head to look, I found that Wade was in a vacuum.

Nonsense, Artai came in to grab the frontcourt rebound, can Wade not be missed?

"What the fuck are you doing?" Carlisle couldn't help but burst into a foul language, this defense is outrageous!

You can't be serious!

Haslem heard the shouting and handed the ball straight to Wade.

Artest pursued frantically, but naturally he couldn't get close to Wade.

At this time, the old Miller, who was still back in advance, went up to block Wade.

But Wade wasn't stumped and calmly handed the ball to Damon, who was in position just outside the three-point line on the right side. Jones!

Damon is still shooting 43.2% from three-point range while averaging 6.4 three-pointers per game this season!

Even after 10 years, such a hit rate is quite high.

Originally, his three-point shooting was not bad, and after coming to the Heat, there was Wade's benefit of attracting defense, which made his three-point shooting extremely easy.

Unguarded, Damon. Jones catches the ball and throws it, and the basketball goes into the net again.

7-0, the Heat stopped the Pacers in just three rounds!

"It's a timeout, the Miami Heat's attack is too strong. This season, although the Pacers have not lost to the Pistons. But a new trouble seems to be in front of them again! ”

"!" Reggie. Miller couldn't help but yell when he came off the court, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

After back-to-back kills to the Pistons this season, Miller thought the Pacers would finally be able to compete for the ring.

But now the team's weak performance against the Heat has disappointed him again.

What's the point of beating the Pistons if you can't get past the Heat?

Carlisle was also very angry and felt that the team did not show enough proper attitude.

"The other party is the first in the East, do you think that if you win six consecutive victories before, you will be invincible! Wake up and think about how we fell last season! We won 61 and still fell on the door of the finals! ”

Mike. Brown was stunned, and Carlisle rarely got angry like this, unless he couldn't help it.

Tai also lowered his head, and it is estimated that this guy will not dare to neglect his duties in the future.

He realized that the No. 3 of the Heat could really humiliate himself!

At this point, Wade shook his head at the Pacers bench and bounced off the court.

The appearance of Miami forcing the king makes people really want to fight a fighting match.

"Wei, you appear." At this time, Carlisle made a difficult decision, and the most panicked person after hearing this sentence was undoubtedly Xiao Ao.

This Nima, if I don't go into the shark's mouth, who will enter the shark's mouth?

Let me go to the top of that fat guy again!?

Okay...... For the team to win......

"Defensively, Jemaine is more on the offensive end, and ...... on the offensive end Take out your performance. With that, Carlisle calmed down and picked up the tactical board.

If you want to break out of the East, Wayne is already an indispensable weapon for the Pacers.
