Chapter 120: Stop the Heat

When Grant heard that he was put on the bench, he was also confused.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, how he only played for two or three minutes before he was replaced.

Naturally, Davidson couldn't explain it to Grant, and he couldn't explain it.

Battle's performance will give Grant an idea of why Davidson did what he did.

Because the Heat are a star-studded lineup and don't have a decent power forward player, it can be said that this game is simply too suitable for Battle to play.

……

In the King's offensive round, Richmond missed the shot, and after Murraysan grabbed the rebound, he transferred the ball to Battle.

Battle was not polite, and after receiving the ball, he hit Billy directly with his back, and rolled over and threw a shot.

The basketball hollowed into the net, and Battle immediately made contributions as soon as he got on the court.

Richmond smiled at Battle with satisfaction, he was never the king of the king, he was never the kind of person who was jealous of his abilities.

In his seven years in the league, he has never averaged less than 21 points per game, but never higher than 24 points per game......

Is it true that Richmond can't average more points per game? Obviously not, with his shooting rate and the status of the absolute boss of the team, as long as he wants to, without taking into account the feelings of his teammates, not to mention cutting an average of 30+ points per game, at least an average of 28 points per game is absolutely no problem.

Rather than scoring like crazy and then letting his teammates run back and forth, Richmond hopes to hone his teammates' abilities.

From this point of view, Richmond can definitely be regarded as a role model.

To have strength, to have character, but the luck is almost there, and I haven't encountered any too decent lineup.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Jordan had a backcourt partner like Little Potato, he would have to hurt too......

Even Jordan can't have a backcourt partner like Little Potato at all, and he estimates that he can tear down the general manager's office.

Now, though, Richmond is clearly in transit, with Davidson bringing him the twin-tower lineup he's always dreamed of.

……

After the Heat's offensive round allowed Tim Hardaway to hit a three-pointer, the Kings' little potato broke through for a layup, only to be slapped out of mid-air by Mourning......

Richmond picked up the ball and immediately passed it to Battle.

Battle made another rollover shot, and hit a mid-range shot against Billy.

At the beginning, facing the diminutive Billy, Battle hit two goals in a row, and he was in quite good shape!

Davidson stood on the sidelines, jokingly looking at the iron-faced Pat Riley.

Even if Pat Riley realized he couldn't fight like this, he was completely fine.

Because of the current lineup of the Heat, they can only make up this one-star lineup, and if a big forward is replaced, the effect is estimated to be inferior to Billy.

Davidson has decided on Pat Riley this game, unless the game is halfway through and Pat Riley can bring in a top defensive power forward from other teams, otherwise Battle will definitely be a nightmare for the Heat tonight!

……

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Battle has really incarnated the nightmare of the Heat, and Billy Owens has been beaten sluggishly.

looked at Battle dumbfounded, he knew the opponent's attack, and he had no way to deal with it at all, unless he immediately had the height and reach of Muraysan now, so as to interfere with Battle's weird-looking shooting posture.

……

Battle only played four minutes and directly came to a 3-of-3 shot, plus a 1-of-2 three-pointer!

Such a hellish hit rate made the Heat all have a frowning expression.

Where the hell did Davidson get this weird guy?!

Why had I never heard the name of this monster before......

Munch Battle? They were absolutely sure that they had never heard of this name in basketball circles before.

A nobody has such desperate offensive firepower, how can this ball be played!

"Doot toot!" Pat Riley couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

Players from both sides began to go off the court, and now the first quarter of the game has just been played for more than half a quarter, and the difference between the two sides is already going to double digits.

"Well done, bus." Davidson thumped Battle in the chest and exclaimed.

Davidson gave Battle an English nickname, called Bus, English BUS, that is, bus......

Not to mention, the name is quite in line with Battle's characteristics.

In addition to the nickname of the shark, O'Neill also has the nickname of a big diesel engine.

And Battle's figure is almost a slightly shorter O'Neill, and it is quite appropriate to take a nickname similar to a large diesel engine.

Seeing Davidson praising Battle, many teammates also applauded Battle.

In the preseason session, plus in the few minutes tonight, Battle has completely conquered the Kings with his performance.

Battle scratched his head a little embarrassed, and he was able to let go a little more when he was with Davidson and Murraysan.

"Alright, bus, you have to thank your teammates, Mickey and Walter."

"They've given you a lot of balls and given up a lot of chances to score points for themselves." Davidson said with a smile.

Battle nodded shyly and thanked the boss Richmond and Walter in rather broken English.

The main reason why Battle doesn't communicate with his teammates is actually the language barrier.

Muressan's native Romanian language was not much better when he first joined the league, but it was certainly much better than Battle.

Before coming to the United States, the bus had been in English for half a month, and it was probably possible to communicate some of the simplest.

Later, after living with Davidson and Mulesan, his English improved rapidly, and it is estimated that in another year and a half, he will be able to communicate with his teammates normally.

Because of Davidson's presence, communication barriers are not actually barriers.

After seeing Battle thank you, both Richmond and Walter laughed.

Both of them are old fritters, and they can probably guess what Davidson is doing this.

It's nothing more than to let them, the two veterans, give Battle a little more chance tonight, and strive to let Battle get a dazzling debut statistic.

The old fritter is worthy of the old fritter, and at a glance it looks like the little trick of wearing Weisen.

That's exactly what Davidson was going to do, and with Battle on his debut tonight, he naturally had to figure out how to give Battle some more opportunities.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

This timeout of Pat Riley is actually called is equal to not called, because the lineup has not changed much.

It's normal to think about it, and the Heat bench really doesn't have any interior line that can be handled at the moment.

Davidson wondered what Pat Riley was going to do next......
