Chapter Forty-Eight: The Big Three of the Heat

In the league, there are two O'Neills. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One is called Shaq, who is a three-time FMVP winner, an epoch-making superstar, known as the strongest center in history, and people call him the big shark and the big cactus.

The other is Jermaine, whose resume is much bleaker: the Most Improved Player in 2002, a six-time All-Star, a three-time All-Star team, and a 61-21 record with the Indiana Pacers.

Well, it looks pretty good.

But in comparison with the two, the former can blast the latter into the galaxy in either way!

So, with the same surname, Shaq may not matter, but it is a burden for Jermaine.

In terms of impressions, O'Neal Jr.'s physical fitness is very strong, his offense and defense are excellent, and he can be regarded as the No. 1 forward in the East in his peak years, and his level is ranked above "Roaring Heaven" Rasheed Wallace.

But if you want to say worse, you can find a lot of shortcomings.

On the offensive end, he was extremely inefficient, and most of his offense ended in turnaround jumpers with an out-of-the-box shooting percentage.

One of his best moves is to hold the ball with his back to the baseline and then turn around to attack the basket, but he likes to stay three meters away from the basket and make jumpers instead of breaking through to the basket strongly, so most fans consider it a sign of weakness.

In terms of personality, he has no leadership temperament and often doubts himself. His mental quality is not good, and he even has a negative attitude when he is in foul trouble.

It is suitable for playing tailwind, and when you are behind, you will not have enough fighting spirit.

When he was on the Pacers, Artest, Stephen Jackson and others didn't look down on this baby-faced giant baby at all, if it weren't for Reggie Miller at least being able to hold the locker room at first, the Pacers would have fallen apart a long time ago, so after Miller retired, no one on the team paid attention to him at all.

Defense is one of the few things he can be proud of, but in reality, his defense is not the first in the league, and the only thing that may be praised is that blocking skill!

In addition, he also has a black history of the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident".

So, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, and Webb, the four top power forwards, were all in the West at the time, where would it be his turn to be the starter of the All-Star!

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Beasley has a deep impression of O'Neal Jr., who was a powerhouse in the East when he first started watching the game in his last life, and he witnessed O'Neal Jr.'s peak, decline, and leave the league.

In fact, this is a rather sad guy, he perfectly avoided the championship at the end of his career - first from the Raptors to the Heat in the rebuilding period, then to the Celtics, the Heat immediately formed a big three and won two championships, and finally went to the Warriors for a year, tired, retired, and the following year, the Warriors won the championship......

It's a hard life!

The Heat have played against the Raptors twice this season, and it can be seen from these two games that although O'Neal Jr.'s physical fitness has declined due to injury, his strength still exists, and his low-post offense and interior defense are what the Heat urgently need.

The outside world said that the Heat deal was extremely successful, and Riley formed the coveted Big Three, but to be honest, this is a low-profile version of the Big Three at best, and the role players are still as bad as ever.

I don't know if O'Neal Jr.'s arrival is good or bad, Beasley thought silently.

On December 23, the day after the deal was announced, at noon.

O'Neal Jr. and Moon arrive in Miami.

The Heat immediately sent staff to take them to the arena, and since there was a game to play tonight, most of the players stayed in the arena for training at this time.

"Jermaine, welcome to Miami!" When Wade saw O'Neal Jr., he walked over and hugged him.

Of course, he didn't forget about Moon either, "And you, Giamario! ”

O'Neill Jr. exclaimed, "Dwyan, I really didn't expect us to be teammates one day!" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect it either, but with you joining, the Heat will be even stronger!" Wade laughed heartily.

At this time, the other team members also came over.

After all, they are new members of big-name stars, and they still have the number of courtesies they should have, and they hug each other to welcome.

When it was Beasley's turn, he noticed that O'Neal Jr. was surprisingly friendly.

"Michael, I'm very happy that we can fight side by side in the future, you are the strongest rookie I have seen in recent years, believe me, you will definitely become a superstar!" Little O'Neill's baby had a smile on his face.

Beasley was also very polite, "Jermaine, you are a senior, I have a lot of questions for you, I hope you don't be stingy with teaching!" ”

"Of course not!" Little O'Neill blinked, then walked over to Margael's side to catch up.

Beasley then turned to Moon and shook Moon's hand, "Welcome, Jamario!" ”

Moon smiled slightly, then his expression gradually calmed down, "Mr. Riley told me that he wanted me to play your understudy, so I think it is necessary for the two of us to be good friends, do you think?" ”

Unlike Beasley's high-pick background, Moon has been drifting since he was defeated in 01, and it wasn't until last year that the Raptors fell in love with him, giving him a chance to show himself, and "Mr. Moon" was able to make a splash.

Beasley felt that a grassroots counterattacker like this was very respectable, and he nodded vigorously, "You can call me Michael!" ”

"By the way, I'll take you to the locker room, the wardrobe is already empty, you can tidy it up by the way!" Beasley suddenly remembered this, so he called O'Neal Jr., and the three of them went to the locker room together.

In the NBA, every time a player comes to another team, the new environment makes him feel uncomfortable, and it takes the help of his teammates to alleviate that discomfort, and if you can get along with everyone, this discomfort will disappear immediately.

O'Neal Jr. naturally doesn't care as a star, but this feeling is very strong in the heart of Moon, an older rookie, but he quickly relieved it in a chat with Beasley.

Beasley did this on purpose, and since he said that he wanted to be friends, he still had to help with this little favor.

In the evening, the Heat host the Golden State Warriors.

Although it was the first game after the trade, O'Neal Jr. and Moon were unable to appear in this game because they had not had time to complete their medical examinations, and they had to sit on the bench in suits.

97 to 81, there was no suspense, and the Heat won by a big margin.

Wade played only three quarters and scored 28 points, and Beasley played well, cutting down 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to completely blow up Mark Bellinelli.

In the face of a player with weak physical fitness, he is embarrassed not to break out!

After the game, Wade said that he was going to a nightclub to hold a welcome ceremony, which was a kind of cleaning up the dust for the two new signings, and Beasley participated for the first time, on the grounds that he wanted to better integrate into the team, he felt that he could not always soak in the training hall, and it was necessary to relax appropriately once in a while.

It stands to reason that after having a girlfriend, he will have the conditions to relax, but the reality is that it is difficult to even make a date, no way, who called his girlfriend a model who runs all over the world!
