Chapter 20

October 29, in the studio of T.N.T. Charles. Barkley and Kenny. Smith prepares to give the Celtics a commentary on the Heat's game.

"Charles, which team do you like to win today?"

"Kenny, if you look at the lineup on paper, it's the Celtics, but basketball has never been a game just about the lineup."

"I'm not optimistic about Chu Xuan's coaching ability, so I think the Heat can win."

The Celtics preseason is inevitably looked down upon by Barkley because it is mainly a training game, and Chu Xuan is also a young coach.

......

"Wade and CuarΓ³n. Butler's three-point shooting is not good, don't let Alston and Eddie go short. Jones ......"

In the North Shore Garden, although Chu Xuan has been here for two years.

But this is the first time he has appeared as a head coach.

Before the start of the game, Chu Xuan was still telling the players how to defend.

"Come on, Paul! Defeat those Miaminians! ”

"Celtics Big Three, let the Heat see your strength!"

"Let the Heat know who's the number one big man in the NBA!"

β€œ......”

By the time the Celtics warmed up, the fans were already cheering them on.

And the treatment on the Heat side is very bad.

"You damn bitches!"

"Get out! Go back to Miami! ”

"Do you know who your father is?"

β€œ......”

Wade, as a rookie, didn't expect to be greeted like this in his first game.

Heat's head coach Stan. Van Gundy is used to all this.

It's one of the NBA's most famous devils' home courts, and naturally it has a nasty fan base.

Van Gundy patted Wade on the shoulder and said, "Don't care about what the fans say, Dwayne, shut them up with practical actions." ”

Wade didn't speak, just nodded.

Celtics starters: center Oku, power forward Rashid, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Raga. Bell, point guard Marbury.

The Heat's starters: Center Brian. Grant, power forward Odom, small forward Caron. Butler, shooting guard Eddie. Jones, point guard Wade.

That's right, Wade plays point guard!

Fans who are familiar with Wade know that Wade is a scoring guard though.

But Wade's organizational skills are not weak at all, and his career average of 5.4 assists per game is an example!

Wade and 'Left-Hand Magic' Odom worked together to channel the Heat's offense.

Oku jumps the ball to win over Brian. After Grant, the game officially began.

Marbury holds the ball and prepares to attack, and the next scene is ......

Not to mention a head coach like Van Gundy, even Barkley has never seen one of the top 50 players in the NBA!

Even the fans at the scene looked like they were alive.

"What kind of tactic is this? This coach is really not joking? ”

"The first time I saw a center attack, he was standing outside the three-point line in the bottom corner!"

"The Celtics have five players, all standing outside the three-point line, what kind of offensive routine is this?"

β€œ......”

The fans, commentators, and head coach's comments have nothing to do with Marbury at this time.

Marbury held the ball to face Wade, who was defending him, and Wade, as an older rookie, was still very mature.

But it's still not as good as Marbury, who is still at his peak.

Marbury shook Wade away in a change of direction and went straight into the box.

Since I have never seen such a star-studded lineup, Brian. Grant opted to stay in the box to protect the basket.

Marbury saw Oku being let go and passed it directly to Oku.

Oku made a direct shot from an open three-point position.

Swish!

The basketball hollows into the net, and Oku has a three-pointer.

Barkley in the live broadcast room looked incredulous: "Kenny, I'm not mistaken!" The center shoots three points! The center went to shoot a three-pointer!? ”

Smith was also shocked: "Charles, you read that right, because I also saw that a center shot a three-pointer!" ”

In this day and age, let alone a center to shoot threes.

Even the projected inner line of the old driver, which is like an outside line, will be said to be soft.

So you can imagine how shocking it is to be a center to shoot a three-pointer!

The game went on, and it was the Heat's turn to attack.

In an instant, they felt that their attack was stagnant.

The Celtics' defensive system is built under the twin towers of the interior.

Pierce and Marbury's defense can only be described as average, far from being a defensive giant.

Raja. Bale is still training at this time, and the defensive end is not up to the level of the future first defense.

Therefore, as long as the Celtics encounter a team with more accurate projection on the outside, they will adopt the strategy of preventing shooting but not penetrating.

Of course, it doesn't have to be, and Celtic's defensive strategy also changes depending on the opposing player.

For example, now Marbury directly put Wade a step towards Wade, who is holding the ball.

"Dwayne. Wade: yes? Cast it! Just as my greeting gift to you! ”

Wade was a little hesitant, and at this time, all the teammates of the Heat were stuck to death by the Celtics players.

He simply couldn't find a chance to pass the ball, and breaking through Marbury was clearly not a good option.

Since Handcheck was not canceled at this time, it was very difficult for the outside players to break through!

The new rule in the future states that if the perimeter player is above the free throw line, the defending player cannot use his hands or forearm to act on the body of the player holding the ball when he moves with the ball, otherwise it will be a foul.

And now, thanks to Handcheck, Marbury can directly block Wade's breakthrough with his hands or forearm.

Coupled with Marbury's big step for Wade, it was so difficult for Wade to break through......

"Don't even dare to vote! I suggest you go home and feed! ”

Marbury's trash talk rang out again.

Wade was a rookie after all, and was stimulated by Marbury and hesitated for three seconds.

Shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.

Wade has not been a three-point player throughout his career, and he has not averaged more than 30% shooting per game.

Bang Dang!

As Chu Xuan expected, Wade struck the iron directly.
