Chapter 262: The Iron Rider Pulls Out Dallas
"Sort of, and isn't that what you had in mind at the beginning of the season?" Si Shuai glanced at Riley and then said admiringly: "I never thought that this fat man could grow to the point of Bosh, nor did I intend to position him as the core target of the team in the future, but now it seems that he is enough." ”
Chen Lei's strength has been recognized by Si Shuai, and it is a recognition mixed with admiration and love.
Every coach wants their team to have a rookie, a rookie with unlimited potential, who likes to bring them out and train them into NBA giants.
And this year, the Heat got a big deal for Guò, the undrafted rookie, a rookie who had a brilliant first season.
This is Chen Lei's second season, and this season he can't get rid of the rookie name, he is still a member of the rookie team, but he has only been promoted from the first grade to the second grade.
Chen Lei averaged 15.5 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in the regular season and 24.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in the playoffs.
In the playoffs last season, Chen Lei relied on his strength many times to turn the tide, if he hadn't been cut down by the Thunder in the semifinals, if it weren't for him, the Western Conference Finals might not have been won or lost at the last second.
In short, Chen Lei's watch in the first season has been recognized by everyone, and has been named by countless people as a 'super newcomer'.
And when it comes to the Heat, he is still strong in the midst of people's disfavor.
Eighty percent of the shooting percentage tops the list, and the player efficiency list also staggers ahead of second place. Ranked second on the team in scoring. Rebounds are also second. Even assists occupy the fourth position in the team's list.
During the six regular season games during the Heat, he averaged 20.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1 block per game, with a shooting rate of more than 80%, and the team won by 8.1 points during playing time and 2.6 points after the team finished the game.
Of course, a person's role in the team cannot be explained by just counting jù, but objectively speaking, relying only on Chen Lei's number jù, he can afford to take the position of the second leader of the Heat team.
Wait a minute! Some people say that rookies don't have much experience?
This sentence is estimated to make everyone who has fought with Chen Lei wave their hands and scold, this is a lie.
Si Shuai is also one of them, and he doesn't feel this way in the slightest. This guy can't make mistakes on the pitch most of the time.
He's a rookie, yes, but he's a rookie with strong wings.
"Haha......" Riley laughed, laughed happily, patted Si Shuai's shoulder and turned away, leaving only Si Shuai who was a little confused.
"Did you say something wrong?" Si Shuai looked at Riley's back in confusion and asked himself suspiciously.
What did Molphys really do wrong? In fact, it is not, but Si Shuai's remarks just now have been recognized by Riley, and he is extremely agreed.
"I didn't expect this guy to really grow up after a few years of changes, it seems that I'm really old, the team's decision-making. Don't interfere with him too much. Riley sighed, shook his head and walked out of the arena.
Si Shuai has worked under him for more than ten years. Riley can be said to have watched Si Shuai slowly grow to his current status, just as Si Shuai calls himself a student and a disciple, in Riley's eyes, this is his own disciple.
His growth has made Riley extremely happy, and it is not enough for a team to have good players, and coaches also occupy a large part of the weight.
Years of continuous playoff battles in the finals have made Si Shuai have a first-class coaching level at the moment, and Riley also understands that there are some things that he doesn't need to interfere too much, this guy, he can.
The Heat's training continues, and the roar of Shuai wafts through the arena from time to time, and the new but not young team is slowly moving towards their goal.
On November 11th, the festival for singles, the annual Singles' Day, comes with a sense of winter.
This day is the promotion day of the majority of domestic e-commerce, of course, Chen Lei does not have time to take care of those things, one is that he is not an online shopping expert, and the other is that he still has important tasks today.
The Heat flew to Dallas on this day to challenge the Dallas Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks, the potential army in the West this year, this team has strengthened both inside and outside this summer, especially the starting lineup with Parsons and Chandler, which has made the team's starting impact a big increase compared to last year.
On the point guard end, despite the loss of Calderon but the acquisition of the Magic's veteran Nelson, plus the signing of former champion Barria, the Mavericks' goal this year is no longer the simple playoff ticket, but the top four spots in the West.
The Mavericks lost another game after the opening loss to the Spurs, but then they came on a three-game winning streak and now they are looking to take out the Heat and claim their fourth win of the season.
The goal of the Heat team is surprisingly the same as theirs, and nothing else is too demanding, one purpose, to knock out the Mavericks.
After the players of both sides entered the stadium, the starters walked into the field one after another, and the central screen also played the starting lineups of the players of both sides.
The starting lineup of the Mavericks, point guard Nelson, scoring Ellis, small forward Parsons, power forward Nowitzki, center Chandler.
This year's Mavericks starting lineup is full of players with a lot of energy, and the peak condition of several players is undoubtedly All-Star level, even if some are old and some are accompanied by injuries, but this lineup will still make every opponent who plays against them pay attention.
The starting lineup of the Heat team, point guard Collisson, scoring Wade, small forward Rohr Deng, power forward Chen Lei, center Jordan Jr.
The Heat's lineup has not changed, and Wade, who was supposed to take a break yesterday, did not rest, and he was going to take out the Mavericks with his own hands to avoid the team's 2nd consecutive defeat.
Jumping ball Jordan Jr. once again got the first opportunity for the Heat, and the basketball was slapped by him in Chen Lei's hands, and Chen Lei threw it to the Collison Heat and started to attack.
"Smack!" Just after the half, Collison tried to pass the ball to Wade on the right, but was directly tackled by Nelson halfway.
Amid the exclamations of the Dallas fans, Nelson dribbled the ball across the half court and scored with a layup.
0:2, the Heat were destroyed by the Mavericks before they could attack the basket on the first ball, and were beaten into a goal by the opponent.
"Bastard!" Collison muttered, took Chen Lei's pass and dribbled the ball across the half court again.
This time, Collison didn't rush to attack, but looked at the chubby stubble man in front of him.
"Pretty fast, huh?" Collison looked at Nelson and pouted.
"Young people, don't think about it here, as long as you persist for two or three years, it's okay." Nelson spread his hands, his body still lowering his center of gravity and not letting up his defense because of chatting.
Collison exhaled lightly and snorted coldly, "Then let me see what my growth is still in the past two or three years!" ”
After speaking, Collison took a big step to the left, and when Nelson moved to the right, his body was disguised to the right, and his body moved forward, with his right foot as the axis, and his left foot stepped the ground, and his body completed a 360-degree rotation, and quickly rushed past Nelson's retracting body on the left.
His speed didn't even give Nelson much of a chance to reflect, and after breaking through, he stabbed like a sharp blade out of the sheath, stabbing at the Mavericks' defense.
Chen Lei turned around and ran, which gave Nowitzki a big headache, and countless thoughts flashed through his head at this moment, but in the end he made up for Collison.
He can chase Chen Lei, but in that case, Collison will definitely shoot, compared to Chen Lei, who ran to the outside, Collison's defenseless state under the basket is obviously more threatening.
So he chose to let go of Chen Lei, who still had zài variables, and instead made up for this guard who was more threatening to get into the basket.
"Whoosh!" Even with the last three meters to the basket, Collison gave up the attack, threw the ball into the hands of Chen Lei in the middle distance on the right with a flick of his wrist, and threw himself into Nowitzki's arms.
The Mavericks switched offense and defense to Nelson to make up for Chen Lei, and the huge tank faced a small van, and the result can be imagined.
"Bang!" Chen Lei did not choose to push his back and started his breakthrough directly, as if the angry god came to the world and crushed Nelson to reach the basket and get up to dunk, but was pulled down by Nelson.
"Toot ~" The referee blew his whistle and pointed at Nelson to make a foul gesture.
Defensive foul and two free throws.
"Shouldn't you activate the crit and take this guy straight into the air?" Chen Lei suddenly thought of what Howard had mentioned to him, he believed that even 250 pounds of Howard could get off the ground under a critical hit, and this guy should be able to take him into the air.
"Hahaha......" Thinking of this, Chen Lei couldn't help but laugh secretly, he thought of a popular Internet phrase in China.
Take you to pretend to be forced, take you to fly!
Walked to the free throw line, twisted his shoulder, reached out to take the referee's pass, and the first ball was thrown, and the basketball was firmly in the pocket.
"Huh!" The second ball also honestly went into the basket and rolled up a beautiful net flower.
2:2, tied.
"That's accurate!" Chen Lei clapped his hands after making a move, and said with a smile.
"......" Jordan Jr., Chandler.
The Mavericks countered that Niles met Collison again from beyond the three-point line, and the two men were still talking to each other amicably, like old friends they hadn't seen in a long time.
"Man, the defense was good, but you should really hold him tight, because his strength can drive you crazy on the defensive end." Collison said.
"My God, you don't always compete with him for strength, do you?" Nelson looked at Collison curiously.
"That's natural, he's lived with me since he first entered the Alliance." Collison raised an eyebrow and said with some pride.
"No wonder, but I'm curious, was he on top or you down there?" Nelson said again.
"Huh?" Collison looked at the guy in front of him with some confusion, but when he realized it, Nelson also attacked.
"Damn it!" Collison didn't stop Nelson, and being broken by the veteran seemed to him to be an embarrassing thing, so he could only whisper.
Of course, recalling what he said just now, Collison was very angry with Nelson at this moment. (To be continued......)
