Chapter 209 - Substitution to feed the cake

Just as Li Yao thought, with the success of his strong play, after the exchange of offense and defense, when the Heat attacked again, Li Yao found that the overall defensive formation of the Nuggets was no longer on Wade's side as before, Kenyon. Martin's eyes were always glancing at him.

Although Li Yao's goal has been achieved, it is still far from enough, so when Li Yao saw that Billups pulled out the space in order to prevent himself from breaking through, he did not hesitate to pull out his hand outside the three-point line, and the three-point shot hit steadily, and the basketball fell into the basket in Billups's surprised eyes.

"Chaunse, I'm not commanding a breakthrough, so don't leave me such a big space next time." Li Yao is a person who holds a grudge on the field, and he still remembers the provocation of Billups just now!

"This Lee." Chauncey. Billups didn't expect Li Yao to say this sentence at this time, he thought that Li Yao would show off after the breakthrough layup just now, but he didn't expect that it wasn't until he scored this three-point shot in response to his pull-up jump shot just now that Li Yao said it, what a grudge little guy.

At this time, the two sides played to a 5-5 draw again and returned to the same running line.

After two rounds of fighting, both Li Yao and Billups have a general understanding of each other's strength, so the two sides are more cautious in the next game.

Li Yao is not interested in brushing steal data from Billups in this game, he has played so many point guards so far, he has never seen such a person, just standing there unpretentious dribbling, but always make you have no idea where to start.

Even when he showed his flaws, Li Yao was not sure if this was a trick that Billups had set for him, so Li Yao, who occupied the top five in the league's steals list, did not dare to make a move against the veteran.

The process of the game did not affect the performance of the players on both sides at all, and the overall offense of the Nuggets after sending away the answer was more appropriate. Martin was also brought back to life by Billups, and even had an assist in the first quarter by Billups.

In the end, the two sides were tied at 27-21 at the end of the first quarter, and the Nuggets led by six points and successfully entered the break.

"Dwyan, it's a bit of a tough game." Li Yao, who was sitting on the court, couldn't help but say to Wade on the side, he found that although the rise in the first quarter of the game lacked Anthony's firepower, the Nuggets felt good, and the play was very balanced.

On the other hand, on the Heat's side, in the first quarter, in addition to his own and Wade's joint scoring, only the Ha team threw two mid-range shots, Marion's three-pointer and a fast-break dunk, and the scoring ability was simply not above the same level.

"I know that when the second quarter starts, the two of us will have to take turns scoring, and we must not be carried by the Nuggets like this." Wade also frowned and said, of course he knows the current situation better than Li Yao.

"Dwyan, I don't think it's a problem to go on like this! We have so few points. After hesitating for a while, Li Yao couldn't help but whisper in Wade's ear.

"I know what you kid wants to say, but these things are not something we need to worry about, the old fox is still trustworthy at this point, and it is more convenient for you to score less points, why do you still think that you have more points?" Wade asked Li Yao curiously.

"Well, I just think that if this continues, we won't have much fun in the playoffs, let alone championships." Li Yao said tangledly, in fact, on the whole, the current lineup of the Heat is still good on the surface, with superstars like Wade and All-Star players like Marion, as well as Li Yao and Mark. Gasol is a potential rookie, but Li Yao still feels that there are a lot of problems.

First up is Mark. Gasol's scoring ability at this time has not been fully developed, on the one hand, it has his own influence, and on the other hand, the offensive focus of this Heat team is now on the backcourt pair of Lee Ya and Wade, and there is no strong cultivation of Mark at all. Gasol's idea, so led to Mark. Gasol is now more of a blue-collar player on this Heat team.

The second is Sean. Marion, although the Heat's defensive counterattack is faster than his previous Suns, but the problem lies in this speed, Sean, who was originally used to the Suns' fast whirlwind. Marion often couldn't get the ball in the Heat's defensive counterattacks, because every time he was passed between Li Ya and Wade at most, it ended the counterattack in 4 seconds, so he didn't have a chance to participate in it at all.

And if he falls into a positional battle and fights a tough battle, Marion will not be able to play his due advantages, so even Marion, the current use of the Heat, is a big problem.

"Not only are you kid thinking about the playoffs, but you're even thinking about the finals? You're ambitious enough. Wade first glanced at Li Yao in surprise, and then said with a shocked face.

You know, shouldn't a rookie like Xiang Li Yao put all the focus on how to beat himself out? Why is it that Li Yao's side is already thinking about the playoffs and even the finals? Although Wade knew that Li Yao's psychology was very mature, he was still frightened by Li Yao's brain circuit.

"Players who don't want to win championships are salted fish." Li Yao thought for a moment and replied.

"Uh, that makes sense." Wade was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"Dwyan, since we don't know what the deal will be going to happen for the time being, we might as well cultivate it ourselves, right?" Li Yao glanced at Mark, who was sitting on the side. Gasol, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but say to Wade.

"Clams? In-house culture? Wade was stunned by Li Yao's words, Nima, you Li Yao yourself are a rookie, you actually told me to cultivate a scoring point internally? Can we not jump out like this?

"yes, Mark is a good subject." As soon as Li Yao talked about this idea, he suddenly came to his senses, and said to Wade with great interest.

"Mark? I thought you were going to say Jackson. Wade also didn't expect that the candidate in Li Yao's mouth was actually the Spanish big man, Wade also played against the Spanish men's basketball team during the Beijing Olympics, and he didn't think that this mark. Gasol has something to cultivate, and now he is okay with the duties of a blue-collar worker.

"Well, it's okay for Jackson to be a top defender on the perimeter, but it's enough to be a scoring point." Although Jackson is a good friend of Li Yao, it is precisely because of this that Li Yao knows better where Jackson's ceiling is, so from the beginning of entering the league, Li Yao has urged Jackson to practice three-point shooting, and now there has been a significant improvement, so now Jackson's playing time is gradually increasing, but if you want to become a starter, you need to work harder.

"You are so optimistic about that big Spanish man, although his brother is very good, but this does not mean that he can become the next Paul!" Wade said with a frown.

"Believe me, Dwyan, Mark will definitely surprise you, besides, our current results are not bad, and it is also confident to give Mark a few chances." Li Yao saw that Wade still didn't trust his suggestion, and suddenly became a little anxious, he was worried that continuing like this would really put Mark. Gasol, a good future All-Star, is useless.

"What you said also makes sense, we are now in the rebuilding period, but because of the maturity of your kid and our record, I have ignored this, okay, let's go out and cultivate Mark, and by the way, even the kid Jackson will also be cultivated, I found that this kid's current three points are still okay." Wade thought about it and felt that what Li Yao said was indeed very reasonable, so he agreed with Li Yao's idea.

As soon as Li Yao heard that Wade agreed with his opinion, he suddenly became secretly happy in his heart, now it's okay, not only can he cultivate Mark. Gasol, even Jackson can get a certain opportunity, and Li Yao thinks it's really good.

So, after the start of the second quarter, discerning people found that the Heat seemed to have undergone some changes on the court, and the backcourt double guns that were originally full of firepower in the first quarter actually began to look for opportunities to pass the ball to Mark intentionally or unintentionally. Gasol too.

This makes Mark. Gasol was a little surprised, but he was playing on the field at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to ask about the situation, so he had to keep eating Li Yao and Wade's feeding cakes.

At Wade's suggestion, Jackson officially entered the team's nine-man rotation lineup, and his playing time was 10 minutes for the first time, which also made Jackson very confused.

Looking at the bewilderment of these two people, Li Yao and Wade couldn't help but snicker.

But there is always a price to be paid for experimentation, and the price of this game was a 97-108 defeat for the Heat at the hands of the Nuggets without Anthony.

However, this defeat is not without gains, first of all, Mark who was deliberately fed by Li Yao and Wade. Gasol had a double-double of 25 points and 13 rebounds for the first time, while Jackson only scored four points, but his performance on the defensive end was also recognized by Wade.

As for Li Yao, the score of 17 points is indeed a bit low, but the 12 assists make up for the shortcomings in the score, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Heat's backcourt double guns in this game are intentionally or unintentionally giving Mark. Gasol feeds the cake, so not so many people care about Li Yao's low score.

And Wade scored 31 points again, which also put him far ahead of the people behind him on the list of scoring champions this season.

Although the Heat lost Denver in this game, Mark Brown. Gasol's performance was also affirmed by Wade, the boss of the team, and Wade also whispered praise for Li Yao's vision after the game. Gasol's potential. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
