Chapter 92: The Nets Trident
Two days after earning the new badge, the Heat will take on the Nets on the road.
At that time, the Nets were a strong team in the East, and as the Eastern champion for two consecutive seasons, the strength of the Nets Trident can be described as very strong.
The trident of Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin is a good combination both offensively and defensively in the weaker East.
However, no matter how strong the Nets are, the Heat will be very relaxed before the game.
The current Heat is not weak, and everyone is looking forward to this young team to make a big difference.
"Today, Mr. Zhang Weiping and I will bring you the game between the Heat and the Nets." It is a familiar formula for Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping.
"The Nets Trident, this is a hurdle that the Heat must cross to cross when they rush out of the East, and I don't know who will win and who will lose this game."
"But the Nets have a trident, and the Heat are not bad here, and the Heat Seven are afraid that they can't beat three?"
"Then we'll see." Zhang Weiping's voice was full of anticipation.
At the start of the game, Butler will miss the game due to calf discomfort.
However, the Heat can immediately promote Liu Hao to the position of starting small forward.
Opposite him is one of the tridents, Richard Jefferson.
Although he plays point guard most of the time, even if Liu Hao plays small forward, there is no problem at all.
The game begins.
The Heat get the first serve.
Alstom, who was mentioned as the starter for the first time, controlled the ball over the half, and the two 45-degree players stood Liu Hao and Wade, two good scorers, which made Alston play very easily.
The first offensive ball came to Wade, who faced Corey Kidders, who was weaker defensively, and Wade broke through him as if no one was in a no-man's land.
The first goal was scored by Wade's breakaway throw.
The Nets team with Jason Kidd played really well together.
With Kidd's well-organized organization, the Nets quickly found an open spot, and it was Corey Kidders who hit a two-point shot, but it didn't hit.
Liu Hao grabbed the rebound, and did not have to quickly hand the ball to the guard like the average small forward, Liu Hao could change his position at any time to become a guard.
The Nets still reacted, and Liu Hao had already rushed across the half court with the ball.
Now only Kidd is standing in front of him, and the latter's body will definitely not be able to stop Liu Hao's crushing.
Bang dang!
Liu Hao hit a layup against the board.
"Looking at this posture, the strength of the Heat's lineup is estimated to surpass that of the Nets."
"That is, just looking at the team's current stats, the Heat are better than the Nets in terms of points per game and points conceded per game."
Seeing that Sun Zhengping was analyzing the data again, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but remind: "Today's Heat is one less Butler." ”
"But even so, the Heat's roster is still very balanced."
With the Heat scoring two in a row, Kidd started to get into the groove, first breaking through to assist Kenyon Martin for a dunk, then stealing Chandler's pass and coming back to chase down and shoot a shot.
This scene saw that the Nets fans were very happy, this is entering the state, and the Heat is going to be finished!
However, Liu Hao doesn't think so, since he was equipped with the [hot] badge, after only scoring one goal, Liu Hao felt that the feeling had come, and he only needed to score another goal to burst the feeling and he would enter the day mode again.
In the next round, Liu Hao took the initiative to ask for the ball to play singles.
Replaced by Kidd to defend by blocking and dismantling, although the latter's defense is also very strong, but due to his height, Liu Hao can shoot easily in front of him.
Back to the body, shoulder sway, backward jump shot, all in one go.
Swish!
After scoring this goal, Liu Hao felt very good again.
It has to be said that Kidd's organization is very strong, delivering 4 assists in the first quarter alone, and there are also a lot of passing assists.
(Note: A pass assist is an assist generated when you pass the ball to teammate A, and teammate A passes the ball to teammate B.) )
However, in the first quarter, Liu Hao and Wade used their super individual ability to score 18 of the Heat's total 26 points, and also had 3 assists!
Such a performance also gave the Heat a one-point lead over the Nets.
In the second quarter, the Trident began to wield.
Kidd and Chandler fired one after another on the outside, and Kenyon Martin on the inside ate back-to-back cakes, and in the blink of an eye, he hit a 13-4 offensive small high-tide.
But then Wade hit his worst three-pointer to help stabilize the team.
And Liu Hao is resting off the field at the moment.
The position of small forward is still more tiring, and it is a bit wasteful to let Liu Hao and Wade, the two leading scorers, on the court at the same time.
On the field, Dazhi also got the opportunity to play.
It's still the same as ambush in the bottom corner, but the Nets interior Kenyon Martin has long known about the Heat's tactics.
So he paid attention to Dazhi early, and when the latter was about to make a move, he was ready to send out the big hat.
However, with Dazhi's ball businessman, he had already expected this goal.
The latter immediately changed his movements in the air and passed the ball to Odom on the inside, who scored a one-handed slam dunk under the basket.
"Good ball, King, that's it!"
Riley shouted loudly on the sidelines, he wasn't too worried about starting, and playing like this was beyond his expectations.
But the strength of the bench is what he cares about the most, and if the current Heat is stronger on the bench, then this season may be able to impact a higher level.
So far, Wang Zhizhi has played an average of 13.7 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks, shooting 49.6% from three-point range, and 61.2% overall from the field.
Of course, this kind of shooting percentage has to do with the lack of shots, but it is also remarkable to be able to do this.
Therefore, Riley, the general manager and head coach of the Heat, likes Wang Zhizhi more and more.
A base-salary player can perform like this, what else can he say besides "value"?
The two commentators in the live broadcast room were even more elated when they saw Dazhi's performance, if only Liu Hao played well, then the Chinese men's basketball team would not be able to go far.
As the saying goes, a monopoly is not strong, but a hundred flowers are strong.
A strong team needs everyone to become strong to be truly strong.
So the general performance can't help but make people think.
Liu Hao, Yao Ming, plus four NBA players such as Dazhi and Bart Ear, the Chinese team will become a world powerhouse at that time!
In the 4th minute of the second quarter, Liu Hao once again went into battle.
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming up with an Italian cannon!
Only 43 seconds into the game, Liu Hao hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner, and then hit a three-point shot again in the next round!
Liu Hao's three-point is not like the empty three-point after the infinite block and dismantling like in the small-ball era, each of which is scored against the defender or backwards.
This style of play instantly attracted the attention of the media, this style of play was really uncommon in the previous NBA, and even Ray Allen, who is famous for his three-point shooting, did not shoot three-pointers like Liu Hao.
For this reason, both the media and the fans on the sidelines fell into a frenzy.
In this era of very tight defense, excellent scoring ability is very popular with fans.
Liu Hao's performance continued, and he played very well against the Nets Trident tonight, scoring crazy points with the blessing of the [hot] badge.
At the end of the game, Liu Hao scored 29 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 3-of-7 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws!
Dazhi performed well, Butler didn't come today, Dazhi got 20 minutes of playing time, 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 13 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
In the end, the Heat won 107-100 against the Nets.
