The Heat still won a preseason game, winning their first preseason game against the Spurs with a 100-94 victory. Spoelstra didn't care about the outcome at all, otherwise he wouldn't have changed to a lineup of substitutes at the beginning of the second half to pass the time, and I believe the same is true for Popovich, and the second half of the game between the two sides has completely become a stage for non-guaranteed players to brush up their data.

Spoelstra had a vague understanding of the Spurs' defensive system through this game, and originally thought that they would choose to relatively relax the defensive mid-range because of the slower movement of the twin towers, but he didn't expect Popovich to make adjustments immediately after sensing something was wrong - Duncan was under the basket to protect the basket, Aldridge was responsible for sweeping from the paint area to the free throw line, and Danny. Green and Leonard both flanks shrank as much as they could...... is completely aimed at the shortcomings of the relatively weak three-point shooting ability of the main lineup of the Heat team, which once limited Addison and others to a loss.

The Spurs' defensive strategy is never static, and the Holy City's longevity in the NBA is due to their agile defense: not only are they clever and varied, but their tactical execution is also excellent, even among the league's best. The reason why the Heat were able to win today is, of course, a large part of it because both sides are playing dead and relaxing. Green & Josh. Richardson's two rotation players also played well. After the Spurs adjusted their defensive strategy, Spoelstra also made personnel changes accordingly, removing Wade and Bosh and replacing them with Gerrard. Green and Rookie Josh, who has played well in the last two games. Richardson. Not only will these two players be able to increase their three-point shooting firepower when they come on the court, but they also have the ability to attack with the ball, and they don't need Addison to pass the ball to finish when he finds an open space, which makes Addison's task a lot easier. Josh. As a rookie, Richardson will naturally actively move closer to the core of a team of a similar age like Addison, and he will act whatever the opponent commands; And Gerald. Green has long been intimidated by the Chinese point guard, and now there are few people on the Heat team who listen to Addison more than him, and his obedience can be called well-behaved...... The other teammates were puzzled by this situation, obviously he was such a rebellious and provocative thorn before, why is he obedient like a domestic rabbit now?

For various reasons, Addison naturally won't let others know, and Gerald. Unless Green is really stupid, he will casually reveal to others that the tattoo on the other person's inner wrist represents something that he can provoke...... Even if it's Miami, not New York......

The two aggressive swingmen and Addison complemented each other perfectly. Green finished with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-6 three-point shooting. Richardson scored 12 points while also fighting for 6 rebounds and 1 block, and his hard work satisfied the coaching staff. After a few preseason games, there have been many media or experts who are praising the discerning people of the Heat uniform team. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson's two low-pick rookies showed a considerable degree of competitiveness and fighting ability; With the Heat sent out of Taylor. Johnson and James. Compared to Ennis, the two rookies have a combination of defensive and rebounding potential, and what they lack is experience.

Admittedly, the media still maintains their boring style of falling with the wind, and in just a few preseason games, they have begun to judge the performance of the rookies like a coffin, and they must bring some irrelevant people to talk about it. Whether this will cause disgust and contradiction is not in their consideration at all, they just want enough heat and attention, as for what kind of impact will the killing and belittlement of the rookie players have...... They wish these players could be influenced by their words so that they can get more attention. Spoelstra should be glad that the two No. 1 picks the Heat got are low-pick rookies, and they don't have much value in earning popularity in the eyes of journalists and media, and they can't make much of a splash in favor or foot.

On the other hand, Carl. Anthony. Downs, Jahir. Okafor, Kristaps. Porzingis and D'Angelo. High-ranking rookies such as Russell are not in the public eye at all times, especially D'Angelo. Russell, who originally planned to choose an interior team, selected the 6-foot-5-inch two-way guard with the roster to pick him, which has already caused him to be conservative and public, and Russell's performance in the preseason is not outstanding, and it can even be said that he is timid, which has made the controversy surrounding him even more noisy. Playing in Los Angeles is a lot of pressure, especially in a team like the Lakers where countless superstars have created countless glorious history, and the pressure is unimaginably terrifying.

If they can't bear it, hope will turn into overwhelming ridicule and belittling, smashing them into a quagmire from which they will not be able to break free. So the superstars of the Lakers in the past generations are all hard-core and extremely paranoid in a sense, from Abdul-Jabbar, Magic to Shaq. O'Neal and Kobe. Bryant...... Now that the Lakers are in a situation where Kobe Bryant is seriously aging and full of injuries, and the team's record has fallen to the bottom, D'Angelo was selected as a two-way guard at this time. Russell, Addison didn't know whether to say he was very lucky or extremely unlucky......

But that's not something he wants to worry about right now, as the Heat's schedule continues, and the day after the win over the Spurs, they host the Orlando Magic, who meet for the second time in the preseason at the American Airlines Arena. This time, the Heat, who had shown signs of recovery, did not give Orlando another chance, and with Addison barely exerting his strength, Wade faced Victor. Oladipo efficiently chipped in 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, while Bosh and Whiteside combined for 38 points, 22 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. The Heat almost brought the game into a suspenseless phase in the first half, so much so that head coach Skels lasted less than half a quarter in the third quarter before replacing the entire regular lineup and sending non-supporting players on the court to kill time.

"Our two 'old guys' are starting to get back into shape and it couldn't be better for us. Dwyane and Chris had been out of action for more than four months, but as you can see, their experience and instincts helped them quickly regain their adaptation to the game. Spoelstra praised Wade and Bosh in an interview after the game, "We've changed our squad this season, we've got a lot of new faces and new competitiveness, and Dwyan's recovery as soon as possible will allow us to get on the right track in terms of coordination and locker room chemistry as soon as possible, which is crucial for a team that wants to move forward." ”

When asked about the Heat's goals this season, the head coach smiled sleekly, he's not a standout and unconventional coach, and he knows exactly how to stay untargeted in today's league environment.

'Our goal is simple and clear, which is to build on the results we achieved last season and go higher and do as well as we can.

"Do you mean the O'Brien Cup?" The reporter asked.

'My hope is for the O'Brien Cup, and of course I've always wanted that.' Spoelstra replied with a smile still on his face, not letting the other party find a hole in his words.

The Heat ended their preseason schedule with a 5-3 record, which is not very much in line with the status of a team that finished third in the East and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, but that is not what the coaching staff is concerned about, and neither is the talk of the outside world...... In the last four games of the preseason, Dwyan. Wade averaged 14.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in 20.4 minutes played, shooting 51.6% from the field. Chris. Bosh averaged 15.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 22.5 minutes of play, shooting 50.2 percent from the field and a decent 38.2 percent from three-point range.

The coaching staff has been sure that Wade and Bosh have returned to their most normal and stable form, especially Bosh, who has not only rebounded in the past two seasons, but also gradually developed the ability to shoot three-point shots. With the league's increasingly small-ball style, it goes without saying what it means to be a 6-foot-11 tall super turret that moves flexibly and can expand beyond the three-point line at critical moments to fire.

That's what the Heat coaching staff is most concerned about, and now that Wade and Bosh are back in form, it means that their first goal of the season has been successfully accomplished, and they can fully prepare for the upcoming and long regular season season.

And during the preseason, the Heat also officially completed their official roster for the new season.

Miami Heat's official roster for the 2015-16 season -

Centre: Hassan. Whiteside, Alexie. Atkinsa, Chris. Anderson

Striker: Chris. Bosh, Josh. McRoberts, Amare. Stoudemier, Ruhr. Deng, Gerald. Green, Langday. Hollis. Jefferson, Udonis. Haslem

Defender: Dwyan. Wade, Addison. Ann, Josh. Richardson, Shabazz. Napier, Brittan. Weber (non-guaranteed to guaranteed)

Everything is ready to go for their first regular-season opponent, the Charlotte Hornets, at home on Oct. 27.

"Tomorrow is the regular season game, are you sure you're going to spend the time tonight by playing games?" On the screen of the video call, Lin Xiaoxiao nested in the dormitory sofa holding a gamepad, grinning and asking, while his eyes were fixed on the glowing screen of the computer not far away. The girl reverted to her double ponytail hairstyle, the familiar playfulness and brightness that was vividly displayed as she shook her head.

"I've now found that it's a good idea to empty myself the night before something important, not only do I have to play games until I go to bed tonight, but I also have to wake up later tomorrow." Addison also turned on the video call on his mobile phone, his eyes were fixed on the game screen and his palms rubbed the controller, "Keeping the mind in a relaxed and peaceful state, and entering the competitive state within two hours before the game, is the most suitable way for athletes to adjust their bodies and minds." ”

These two young people are playing online 2K16, which was just officially released in September this year, Addison didn't expect Lin Xiaoxiao to have a lot of talent in this game, and he, an old player who has been immersed in the 2K series for many years, was actually pressed and beaten by the other party all the way. By the way, in the official version of the NBA 2K16 game, Addison's official stat value is 86. That's a pretty high rating for a sophomore, second only to Stephen in point guards. Curry (93), Chris. Paul (90), Russell. Westbrook (89), Carey. Owen (87), John. Wall (87), with Damian. Lillard (86) is level and overtakes Mike. Conley (85) and Kyle. Lowry (83) and others are among the top 10 point guards in the new season in the official 2K16 rankings.

Even so, there are still a large number of Addison supporters and Heat fans complaining on Twitter and other platforms that the ability value set by 2K for Addison is too low, just based on the dream performance of the Chinese point guard in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, how to say that the ability value should be above 88 or even rank among the 90+ ability value players.

"So, what are you looking forward to in your new season?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked suddenly, his eyes fixed on the camera of the video call.

The corners of Addison's mouth lifted, his eyes still focused on the game.

"Supremacy."
