Chapter 60, The Change of Attitude (Addendum).
Founded and joined the NBA in 1988, the Heat is an NBA team belonging to Miami, Florida, USA, and its home stadium is located at the American Airlines Center arena in downtown Miami.
Miami is the second largest city in the U.S. state of Florida and is located on Biscayne Bay on the Florida peninsula.
It is also the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area, with a population of more than 5.59 million people, one of the most densely populated cities in the United States, the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern United States, and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States.
It is also an international metropolis with important positions in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, the arts and international trade, and is home to many companies, banks and television stations.
It is also a melting pot of cultures, influenced by large Latin American communities and Caribbean island nations, and culturally and linguistically close to North, South, Central America and the Caribbean, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "capital of the Americas".
There is a huge fan market here, especially after winning the first championship in team history in 2006, fans are more and more fond of this Heat team.
Many members of the Thunder have also been here to play on the road, Durant came here once last year, and Westbrook and Lee Forest are both here for the first time to play away games.
The Heat now have a 17-11 record, sixth in the East, and this year's roster is at playoff level, although they are very unstable and can easily fall out of the top eight if they are not careful.
This season, the Heat got Michael Beasley, the best of the best, setting off a situation where they dominated the world with a small lineup.
Michael Beasley played in 28 games for the Heat, started three times, and averaged 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and one assist in 24.8 minutes per game, shooting 47.2 percent from the field, 40.7 percent from three-point range and 77.2 percent from the free throw line.
Currently ranked second in the Rookie of the Year selection, forward Beasley is second behind the top pick Derrick Rose.
Westbrook is fifth, ahead of Rose and Beasley, as well as OJ Mayo and Brook Lopez.
Li Forest still has too few games and has not entered the official statistics.
Speaking of the Miami Heat, one person who has to be mentioned, Dwyane Wade, of course, fans prefer his nickname "The Flash".
Dwyane Wade was drafted by the Miami Heat with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft, where he won his first NBA championship in 2006 and was named the fifth-youngest Finals MVP (FMVP) in NBA history.
In 2008, a few months earlier, Wade won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics for the U.S. men's basketball team.
Li Forest doesn't need to ask the system to know that Wade at this time is definitely an SS-level star.
Wade's characteristics are very distinct, the mid-range shot is not stable enough, the hand feels hot and cold, the offense is more dependent on breakthroughs, one-on-one ability is very strong, the upper limbs are very strong, the start is fast, the breakthrough is extremely sharp, and it is the top in the league. After his first step, more than 80% of the league's players were already behind him, and he was not afraid of speed guards (not as strong as him) and tall guards (not as fast as him).
He has a strong desire to attack the basket, has a strong ability to break through and make fouls, feels good when he goes to the basket, and most of his points come from the restricted area and the free throw line.
The passing in the fast break is also in place, often with teammates in the air relay, and sometimes the passing is too casual in positional battles, resulting in more errors per game.
He has excellent awareness and can sometimes grab offensive rebounds and launch a second offense.
In addition, his defense is good, thanks in large part to his 6-foot-11" arm span, which allows him to keep up with the pace of opponents and disrupt opponents at all times.
With an average of more than one block per game, plus physical confrontation does not suffer, he is better at helping defense.
Wade has some backcourt rebounding protection and good stealing ability, and was selected to the second best defensive team in the 04-05 season, and it is worth mentioning that his defense at key moments is impressive, often flying out of nowhere to get the opponent's hat.
Although many people are aware of Wade's offensive shortcomings, they still can't limit him.
Many people know Wade's defensive holes, but they still can't break through his defense, because his speed is so fast, so Wade is undoubtedly a top 10 superstar in the league.
At this time, Wade's career honors, in addition to the 06 championship, FMVP, Olympic champion, All-Star Second Team, All-Defensive Second Team, All-Star Starter, Best of the Week, and Monthly All-Star Skill Competition, even the All-Star Skills Competition led by the point guard has won two consecutive championships.
The only honors left to be won are the scoring champion and the regular season MVP.
Wade, who recovered from injuries last season, is at the peak of his body and skills, and Wade is currently averaging 30 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.2 steals, 1.3 blocks, and a shooting rate of 49.1% per game. To be able to play such statistics is definitely a strong contender for this year's MVP.
The next afternoon, the whole Thunder team came to the training hall, the training hall was not in the home arena of the Heat team, this was another training hall found by the staff of the Thunder team, which was fully enclosed and did not allow reporters to interview.
Today, Brooks arranged a tactical drill, the Thunder team divided the main team and the bench two teams for offensive and defensive drills, and Li Forest is now on the bench side, not holding the ball, and is back to the role of shooter.
In the last game, Brooks saw the gap between the Thunder and the Hornets, not to mention the ability of the players, the tactical tacit understanding is not a little bit worse, if this aspect is not improved, it will be difficult for the Thunder to go further.
It doesn't matter what the record is this season, the team's goal next season is to make the playoffs, so Brooks feels Alexander.
After yesterday's defeat and a new understanding of himself, Li Linlin's enthusiasm for training has also improved a lot.
He is now too dependent on the system, and the system is sometimes unreliable, so now he must improve his strength first, so as not to have the helpless situation like yesterday.
Brooks looked at Li Forest, who was running wildly, and couldn't help but be happy, it seems that this guy has reflected well, and his attitude is much more correct than before.
Unlike before, Li Forest is very lazy in running, when a person's spirit changes, other people's feelings are obvious.
The previous Li Forest could not be said to be slack in training, but it was definitely not hard work, because he did not violate any team system, "commuting on time", and definitely did not work overtime.
Brooks didn't say much about this, but this time he obviously felt that Li Forest had made progress in his ideological consciousness. So Brooks is also satisfied.
Li Forest is desperately trying to understand Hamilton's running experience in his memory, which is part of his own strength.
After a good night's sleep, Li Forest decided that he wanted to be on par with Westbrook and Durant, they were better than him, and they actually worked harder than him, which was absolutely unacceptable to Li Linlin.
In the morning, he also approached Jack and asked him to quickly come up with a training schedule for his offensive skills.
He's desperate to improve his attacking prowess.
Li Linlin felt that his abilities were all practiced at the beginning, so he was no longer attached to the theory of talent.
In the process of using Curica and Harden cards, Li Forest has a deep understanding of the offensive skills of the two, Harden is good at European steps, stepping back to pull out gaps, and his mastery of rhythm has reached a very high level, and Curry is also good at opening up gaps through his own rhythm, and then integrating shooting with rhythm, as well as his judgment of breakthrough timing, are top-notch.
If Li Forest doesn't use star cards, many basic offensive skills can't be used, such as the simplest one, Dengge's retreat, of course, this is also related to his previous lack of professional training.
A lot of offensive skills have nothing to do with talent, they have to do with how hard a person practices.
The footwork skills of the back-body singles, the rhythm change of the mid-distance of the emergency stop, the footwork skills of the face frame attack, and the rhythm skills of stepping back to pull out the gap, these can all be improved through training, and there are many things at the level of consciousness, these are all things that the system can't give, these are the directions that Li Forest has improved.
Now Li Forest, except for shooting three points, really has no other offensive means.
After Li Linlin figured it out, he had a goal, and his internal drive for training was more sufficient.
