Chapter 400: Crazy Night in Miami!
"I've said something similar recently. This must have been an accident, and the reason why we are afraid and remind the players now is that they should ensure their health, which is not only good for the team, the coach, the number of wins, etc., but also for the player's personal career. Doug is a good coach. It's just that the preseason game should not be too hard" Adelman replied to reporters' questions flatly after the game.
After the game, the media was most concerned about the Rockets' Haiye, Garnett, and Pierce. At that time, Garnett and Pierce did not say a good thing, they respected Yao Ming, but for the Rockets player with an annual salary of less than $2 million, he felt that he was playing to this extent because the team's main team was not in him.
Hayes' very hard defense under the basket made them feel unnecessary, even if he played like he could stop them. The sudden arrival of the injury calmed Pierce a lot, but it was too late to say anything, and Pierce, one of the Celtics' Big Three, was going to be out for a while.
Doug's mood for this game has become much worse. Because they still have to fight at the beginning of the season to see how many games they can win in a row, and that's good. In the next quarter of Pierce's injury, Coach Doug immediately replaced the main players, and in the end they lost the first preseason game with an 82-100 score.
Garnett 10 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists! Meme 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists! Daniels 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks! Ray Allen had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Nate 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists!
Meme's performance on the court today made Boston very happy. In the 29 minutes and 46 seconds he played, Mime's scoring ability was fully displayed! He's in a completely different state than he was with the Lakers. As the media said, his movements became agile, and although he seemed to be the kind of active effort, it played a role in the game.
He's not the kind of blind shot, but he goes to shoot when he's right in the game. Although Pierce was injured and could not play in the regular season, the team doctor had already told Doug about it and would not be able to return anytime soon. But they still have players like Memes in their squad.
Scola 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 3 steals! Zhou Yang 17 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists! Battier has 7 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists! Lowry 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Batum had 12 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
After the game, Zhou Yang's 15 assists still surprised the reporters! This is a player who doesn't play much on the field! Zhou Yang, who played for 35 minutes and 2 seconds today, played an amazing result! Coach Adelman originally wanted to let Zhou Yang play for about 20 minutes and it would be OK, but Zhou Yang's performance made him hold it for more than 10 minutes before deciding to let Zhou Yang rest.
In this game, the players of the Rocket team still felt Zhou Yang's horror from the side! In pre-season, especially the young players, they want to score more points and show in front of coach Adelman. And Zhou Yang doesn't have to perform at all!
He only attacks when there is a stalemate. The rest of the time, most of the time is passing the ball to teammates to get them to score. Even so, Lowry and Batum shot hard, and both played more than 24 minutes today, but they didn't score more than 20
Scola's words were as he had said to his teammates after the game. He enjoyed the game today, as if it were a regular season. And the Celtics suffered, they fought with the Rockets without the main force, but fortunately the Rockets didn't pay too much attention to defense, otherwise the players on the Boston side would be embarrassed in this game.
The pre-season ended with everyone frolicking and warming up. After the injuries of five key players in the first two days, there were injuries on the fourth day. But none of that matters anymore and is not good news for teams that have players injured. But the regular season is just around the corner!
"Actually, I'm still a little bit haunted by the Finals injury. I also feel guilty about not playing. The team doctor said I could play now, and after talking to Riley, he agreed," Wade said with a relaxed smile to the female reporter.
"Recovery isn't easy for you, is it?"
"So as I said the other day, this season's pre-season is probably going to be more exciting. As a result, there were more injuries. Now I can basically understand the mood of those players~ Thank goodness my injury has finally survived to the day I can play in the regular season! ”
"Can you tell us how you felt and how you felt about the first game against the Rockets?" The female reporter said with a laugh. I thought it was time to get to the point.
"You want to ask Zhou Yang, right? Ha ha! I guess that's it~ my thoughts, I'm excited right now, and I think you can see it too. That's when we had two heavyweights this season, James and Bosh, and there were so many things in between that that made me happy! Zhou Yang's words, naturally I hope he can continue to be in the Heat, but everyone has their own ideas. All I can say is blessings."
"You've gotten stronger this season, haven't you? Has the champion of the East Final been decided to be that strong? ”
"I can't say ~ you don't do this ~ the team has a lot to do, after all, we weren't a team before, you know, it's going to take a while in between, and there's some chemistry with each other, tacit understanding, rhythm in the game, etc."
"So do you have any thoughts on how far your team Rockets can play this season?"
"The Rockets have always been strong. I hope to be able to meet the Rockets with Yao Ming and play against them. Yao Ming is a player who is just like our O'Neill last season! He's a solid big center on the inside defense! ”
The same is true for the Rockets, who are going to take some time to settle in this season. There are many young players, many new players, and some players who give Zhou Yang a headache are more independent and don't like to pass.
It's been a good time in the preseason. Because the game doesn't have to think about what pressure is not pressure. Just go up and fight and you're done. Maybe for the substitutes, you still have to work harder.
When there are no games, I train, sometimes I have to continue training after the preseason, and when everyone is free, we will go out to play together~ For these young players of the Rockets, this time makes them feel that Zhou Yang is also very easy to get along with.
But they still rejected Zhou Yang in their hearts at this time. Where is this guy going bad? If he has to come to the rocket, he may not know that when he negotiated the price with Zhou Yang, several of their salaries were renegotiated, because it was a non-guarantee contract, so they could be abolished immediately and then sign a new non-guarantee contract.
Unlike the Celtics, the Heat's lineup this season is that the Big Three are not very old! Ray Allen, Garnett, Pierce, and Mime, who they paid a lot of money for, are all young. That's why they're in a hurry.
As soon as the team changes their minds next season, a combination like theirs will fall apart! They really want to win the championship at a time like this! James hasn't given an interview since he left Cleveland, and he'll need to get used to it.
As Riley said to him! I came to Miami to win the championship! He's missing a championship! The little emperor himself has strengthened his technical ability and shooting ability in the offseason!
Dragon King Bosh is looking forward to this player on him and Wade! Wade and James have known each other since college. Although Wade has only come back a few days ago, there is still some tacit understanding between the two, but Bosh is not easy to say, he is the new fierce man of the Raptors!
Although he and a player of O'Neal's weight are on two levels, the Dragon King has an excellent ability to cooperate with his teammates! It is still more difficult for individuals to prevent one.
In the first regular season game, Bosh had no problem with either Hayes or Scola. Maybe Scola will be a little harder, but there are only a few players who are good at the Rockets right now! In the current group of young people of the Rockets, if they can get statistics, they can barely take some, but if they can win the game, they are a little powerless, including the current Rockets backbone players. Zhou Yang noticed this problem after he came.
"I think it's better to play this game in the preseason. The other party is going to go for the championship this year. We, huh? Tabit was talking there and Batum smacked him in the back. Zhou Yang came in to change clothes at this time.
He didn't hear what Tabit said just now. At this time, he was thinking about how to deal with such a heat! To say that looking at Wade's current form, he shouldn't be able to play for too long, and out of protection Riley will not let him continue to play.
Zhou Yang also watched the interview about Wade and knew that Wade could actually recuperate for two weeks or even a month. For example, body coordination, strengthening training, and weight adjustment. But Wade can't wait!
He felt that he couldn't stand the appearance of sitting on the sidelines and watching the two of them play, while he was wearing a suit to watch the game! Unless he is injured and can't play, he still has to play like this, although he is a little fat, but his body has recovered!
Bosh's 2-point shooting ability is similar to Yao Ming's, and it is very accurate! A center of his size is actually quite suitable for the future.
"Miami has formed a new Big Three. How are we going to win the game? Batum just tried to stop it again, and when he found out that it was Battier, he immediately wilted. He can't afford to mess with this big guy
"I think our two teams are actually pretty much the same, both are the kind of teams that need to be run-in. So we still have a chance in this game," Zhou Yang found that the room suddenly fell silent. Presumably this is everyone's mood at this time.
Coming to the familiar arena, Zhou Yang looked at all this in front of him. He played here all season last season. When Zhou Yang appeared on the field, the camera focused on him, and it didn't take long for Zhou Yang's figure to disappear on the big screen, and instead began to play the footage of their finals against the Spurs last season!
The fans immediately began to cheer. Zhou Yang looked at the screen of himself and O'Neal, who had not retired at the time, and Mime, who was still with him, fighting side by side. It's as if it all happened yesterday. But now I'm wearing a Team Rocket jersey!
After a series of images, a sentence emerged, "Welcome back, Zhou Yang". I have to say that these things moved Zhou Yang. But he can't get too emotional about it at this point, because the game is about to start.
Players from both sides came on the court, and fans were extremely excited to see the current Heat Big Three! Whether it's Riley or Wade, it feels like their team is quite serious about hiring this season.
James seems to be a strengthened version of Zhou Yang, while the Dragon King does not have the stature of O'Neill. But his scoring ability can be said to be the scoring version of the big shark!
The Rockets' starters tonight are Scola, Hayes, Zhou Yang, Lowry, and Battinger! On the Heat's side are Bosh, James, Jones, Wade and Bibby!
As soon as the game began, Bosh took the lead in getting the basketball, and the fans cheered! After James took over the basketball, he rushed directly to Hayes and Zhou Yang's bag and scored points with one hand!
It is estimated that Cavaliers fans at this time will feel sad when they see this scene. James has put on the Heat jersey and started playing the regular season!!
Lowry went to the front court with the ball, and the basketball didn't come to Scola when he was wrestling with Wade! Scola directly started the European dance steps and successfully passed the dragon king, and in everyone's surprise, the basketball was recorded by James in the air!!
Wade immediately picked up the basketball and passed the ball to Bibby, who went to the front court and leaned forward to shoot a three-point jumper as the Rockets players chased him! Badinger dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and after his long-range three-point shooting, the Dragon King immediately got the rebound!
James took his pass at this time and went to the frontcourt, with Hayes on his body, and scored with a one-handed dunk! Then he hit a shot near the free throw line to make it 2+1! The Dragon King is okay to say, he is still a little calmer, but LeBron obviously seems to be angry today!
After Hayes took Zhou Yang's pass and forced a layup, Adelman was already trying to call a timeout at this time. It's not good to fight like this. Wade didn't rush over quickly to score a layup after receiving Bibby's pass! After James came over, he saw Wade throw the ball and jump directly! Wei Zhan Connection!!
LeBron's dominating momentum made the Heat fans at the scene fascinated~ The little emperor of the Cavaliers, they finally got it! It didn't take long for the Rockets to take a timeout. 10:0! Since the start of the game, Houston has not scored a single point.
The opponent seems to have played directly into the rhythm of the playoffs at this time! Such a lineup is so hard, Adelman frowned and thought.
"Hill went up and tried it. Martin, Battier, plays. Zhou Yang, look at it, almost take the team to score some points first, and then say, "Adelman knows that Zhou Yang, as a player who has just come to the Rockets, is being polite." Originally, he wanted Martin to play again in the second quarter, but apparently the other party didn't mean to let them.
And that lineup just now doesn't seem to be able to cope with the Heat. James's personal offense is now estimated to be Zhou Yang able to find a way to prevent him. And Bosh was there, so he just replaced Hayes.
Riley didn't say anything on the sidelines at this point. He was suppressing the excitement in his heart.
