At 31:18, this is the score of both sides at the end of the first quarter. The Knicks trailed by a whopping 13 points in 12 minutes, and the Miamins were painfully limited on both ends of the floor, especially with the continuous counter-attacking and defensive transitions, which the Knicks couldn't cope with at all.

In contrast, the Knicks' offense is too one-dimensional, and it's basically all Cameron. Anthony singled and couldn't find a chance before passing the ball out. In the first quarter, Anthony hit 2 of 6 shots, got 7 points, 2 rebounds and 0 assists, and the offensive efficiency was not high.

Addison had 8 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and Calderon's slow movement and the Knicks' poor defense allowed him to find a breakthrough. After his teammates saw that the Chinese point guard was handy, they also took the initiative to shift the focus of the offense to him, and the core of the organization suddenly became the main point of attack, and Addison was the player who scored the most points in the first quarter except for Bosh.

The second lineup is still dominated by the Heat, and the Knicks' rotation is not bad on paper. Stoudemire, Andre. Banyani and Sean. Larkin and the others have good offensive ability. But the Heat's second team under Wade is strong enough to win the league, and they exploded into a ferocious fighting force against the Knicks' rotation with even worse defensive intensity.

Sean. Williams and Norris. Kerr made three-pointers one after another, and Wade made it 2+1 on Banjani. Chris. Anderson gave Stoudemire a frontal block on the defensive end, sending the Knicks' offensive momentum to rock bottom.

Seeing that the point difference was actually going to move towards 20 points in the first half of the second quarter, Derek. Fisher couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout. The team's record is now 10-42, the lowest in the league, and even the rebuilding Timberwolves have won one more game than them. Such a poor record is not only seen as a joke by the outside world, but even the fans of the Big Apple are already complaining. Fisher can't afford to lose anymore, and even if he loses, he can't lose so badly.

But when he looked back at the players sitting on the bench, the head coach felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. It's not that I don't want to adjust, I'm really unavailable...... At this time, even if Cole. Aldridge and Jason. Smith is on the court, and the effect is estimated to be no different from the interior configuration of the rotation lineup.

Now there is no interior player on this Knicks team who can protect the basket well, and the last such player was named Tyson. Chandler, now far away from Dallas. On second thought, all Fisher could do was bring Anthony back on the pitch and let him stabilize the team's attack.

The reappearance of 'Melon' did improve the Knicks' offense, but it also focused the team's offensive firepower on him. Facing the young and inexperienced James. Ennis, Anthony continued to fall to the flank and attack low, so that Ennis, who weighed barely 100 kilograms, was scrambling.

Spoelstra looked at the time on the big screen from the bench to General Ruhr. Deng and Addison screamed. The head coach doesn't intend to drag the suspense of the game until the final quarter, he wants to add another fire to the advantage of the Heat on the court in a suppressed state.

Derek. Fisher saw the Heat's substitutions and probably guessed Spoelstra's thoughts, and he also replaced Calderon and Hardaway Jr. on the court. However, this time Fisher changed a little, and he put Hardaway Jr. to defend Addison and Calderon to defend Wade.

Although Calderon is also not good on the defensive end with Wade's veteran offensive ability, at least the 'Flash' has gradually lost the speed of his youth, and Calderon will not be pitifully following the opponent like he did against Addison.

"People say that nobles should maintain the demeanor of being late in everything, but you, a nobleman, always arrive earlier than the appointed time, how can I afford this?" In front of a delicately decorated villa in S City, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes shook his head with a smile and teased the guest in front of him who came to visit early in the morning.

The visitor was surprisingly tall and seemed to have to keep his head down to walk through the main entrance. He used to be strong and burly, but he has lost his shape over the years because he has retired from the competitive arena and is busy with business, and he has become fat and fat. However, the gentleness and calmness of the humble gentleman on the face of the national character have not changed, and he is smiling and greeting the owner of the villa.

"I'm not a nobleman, I'm just a businessman now." The visitor's voice has a unique tone, it sounds like an urn, but it is not tiresome, "Don't you invite me into the house?" You know I'm the size I'm now, and standing for a long time isn't good for my health. ”

"Look at me, I'm negligent!" The middle-aged man patted his forehead, "Please come in!" Don't be inhibited...... Anyway, you didn't have much restraint when you came to my house......"

The two of them walked to the living room of the villa and sat down on the sofa. The stunningly tall man in his thirties looked at the elegant arrangement around him, smiled and didn't say much to the point, but went straight to the point.

"Have you read the information I sent you yesterday?"

The middle-aged man nodded, stretched out his hand and turned the laptop on the coffee table around: "I've not just finished reading it, I've watched it several times." ”

A long video is playing on the computer screen, showing the yellow-skinned young man wearing the No. 7 jersey of the Miami Heat in the game, the breakthroughs, passes, and projections are all made into accurate highlights, and the beautiful scenes are all showing the outstanding strength of the young man in the video.

"What a good player, what a seedling! Da Yao, if there was such a point guard by your side back then, wouldn't it be-" The middle-aged man looked at the video full of admiration and couldn't help blurting out, but he immediately stopped talking and glanced at the people around him with somewhat complicated expressions for a while.

The visiting guest, Yao Ming, who is now the owner of the team's club, showed a noncommittal smile: "It was back then, don't add ifs to the past...... I was content to get such good results in '08. ”

After the previous embarrassment, Yao Ming then asked, "How is it?" Is there an invitation to this child? ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a few seconds and sighed slightly: "We are paying attention to this young man...... But the decision above is still an observational expedition, and there is no further action. ”

"Not yet?!" Yao Ming's brows furrowed, "Do you still need to inspect players who can average 15+10 per game in the NBA?!" And this is just his first season! ”

"Da Yao, I know that this kid has a very strong level of competition...... But you also know that this is the situation above. The middle-aged man comforted the other party's somewhat excited emotions, "The previous recruitment and naturalization of Jeremy Lin has no results until now, and there are some prejudices about overseas Chinese players in this matter......"

"Enron is different! There is a big difference between him and Jeremy Lin! Yao Ming immediately explained, "The child was born in China, and then moved to the United States with his father's family. Lao Lin interviewed An Ran by reporters from their club, and this child speaks Chinese very well, and his understanding of China is far stronger than that of ordinary Chinese. Most importantly, he doesn't think he's an American in his bones, as Jeremy Lin does, and he has a great sense of identity and belonging to his hometown. As long as I can take advantage of this, I guarantee that his naturalization will go very smoothly, much more smoothly than Jeremy Lin! ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll emphasize this aspect to the above reaction." Enron's level of competition is obvious to all, and I think everyone is willing to recruit him for naturalization. ”

"After all, I am also one of the representatives of the Basketball Association, if there is something useful for me in this matter, you can tell me, and I will definitely cooperate fully." Yao Ming, who had been agreed, breathed a sigh of relief, and assured the other party with a firm expression.

"That's great! If you could do it yourself, I think things would be much easier! The middle-aged man nodded happily, "Let's do this first...... Anyway, Da Yao, how are you preparing? ”

"I'm still in the preparation stage, and I'm preparing more funds and connections...... Yao Ming pursed his lips, his face a little more wise and deep than before, "There are still two years to go, and I will try to be as prepared as possible." ”

The middle-aged man raised his hand and rubbed his chin: "Okay, the more you are prepared, the more sure you will be...... Rest assured, as long as you have determination and self-confidence, I will definitely support you! ”
