033 Basketball is also sophisticated
After scoring the goal, Li Lei first high-fived Odom: "Ramal, pass beautifully!" ”
Odom laughed.
Li Lei can be a man, and Odom is naturally willing to pass the ball to him.
Soon, the half was over.
At 48:43, the Heat narrowed the gap to five points.
As long as the margin is not widened, the Heat have a chance.
In the second half, Snow stuck to Li Lei and absolutely didn't give him any chance.
Li Lei doesn't care, although he can't score points, as long as he stands outside the three-point line, he can help Wade open up space.
In addition, Li Lei put more physical energy into defense, and also found an opportunity to help Odomka and let him brush up a few rebounds.
Cast it with a peach, cast it with a plum!
How can you just say thank you?
If you talk too much, people will be annoyed, so it's better to have something affordable.
Sure enough, after grabbing the rebound, Odom's smile at Li Lei became even sweeter.
Li Lei is a little embarrassed: Basketball is also sophisticated!
The Heat have been biting the 76ers.
But in the fourth quarter, bad news happened.
Odom broke his foot after a jump, and it wasn't light.
The team doctor quickly checked and there was no major problem.
But this one can't be played, and the next one has to rest.
The 76ers took the opportunity to open up the gap and kill the game in one wave.
90:82。
The Heat lost the opener.
In this campaign, Li Lei shot 5 of 8 and 3 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.
Wade had 18 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.
Jones had 15 points and eight rebounds.
Grant had 13 points and seven rebounds.
Odom had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Haslem had two points and three rebounds.
Cato had 4 points and 4 rebounds.
Alston had six points and three assists.
On the 76ers' side, Iverson had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 steals.
Thomas, Coleman, Salmons, McGee and Snow also scored in double figures.
Post-match press conference.
Iverson was naturally the focus.
"You've got a pretty good stat tonight."
Iverson: "I don't care about that, I just care about winning!" ”
Iverson wasn't in a good mood.
Robinson, the "big dog" introduced by the team, is seriously injured, and the future of the 76ers this season is uncertain.
"Then let's talk about the Chinese rookie Li Lei, his nickname on the street court is Stone, you broke him today and broke his ankle."
Iverson: "Stone?" He deserved the nickname and caused me quite a bit of trouble. ”
At this time, Iverson saw the reporter with a playful smile on his face, obviously taking Li Lei's shaking down as a joke.
Iverson was even more upset: "Hey! You are not qualified to laugh at him, sir! ”
The reporter was stunned.
Iverson didn't care about this: "Only those who defend me with all their strength have a chance to be shaken down by me." Stone is an all-out rookie and he's great. I don't think giving it my all should be ridiculed, I give it my all every night and often fail, but I always get up in the end. Stone did the same thing as me tonight! ”
Iverson has recognized Li Lei, which is a high evaluation.
Perseverance and all-out efforts are synonymous with Iverson in the NBA.
The reporter who asked the question blushed and was no longer embarrassed to ask questions.
Su Qun was also sitting in the pile of reporters, he was very excited, and thought of a good article, the name was "Amazing Debut, He Was Recognized by Iverson!" 》。
Li Lei's 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks are average.
But compared to Yao Ming's debut last year with 0 points, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, it is already great.
Contrast, produce beauty.
At the press conference of the Heat, Da Fan took Jones and Grant to the court.
There was not much to talk about, and the press conference ended quickly.
Tonight, the team has to rush to Boston.
There's back-to-back games there waiting for the Heat.
……
On October 29, he played the Celtics.
Coach Dafan has only one purpose: to train soldiers.
Away, back-to-back, the absence of the team's two main players, itself is a rebuilding team...... It is impossible to win.
However, Li Lei got good news.
He's in the starting line-up.
Caron Butler and Odom are absent, and only Rasol Butler can compete with Li Lei for the No. 3 position.
But Rasol wasn't strong enough, considering the Celtics' boss was Paul Pearce, the league's best small forward.
Coach Dafan chose Li Lei.
No. 44 rookie, who started in the second regular season, Li Lei is really a golden start.
A big battle, 83-98, the Heat swallowed two straight defeats.
Jones scored a Heat team-high 22 points and 8 rebounds, and Li Lei had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, which was the only two double-doubles scored by the Heat.
Wade, who had an excellent performance in the last game, only had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 2-of-12 shooting in this game.
Haslem had a good performance, with 9 points and 7 rebounds, and almost had a double-double.
On the Celtics side, Pierce, Vin Baker, Mike James, Eric Williams, Reeve Lafrentz, and Tony Barty scored a total of six double-doubles.
Subsequently, the Heat returned to Miami.
On the 31st, they will have their first home game of the season.
The Pistons topped the Eastern Conference regular season last season, and the two teams are not at the same level at all.
In the end, the Heat ushered in a third defeat at 84:93.
To make matters worse, Wade suffered a knee injury after the game and missed at least two games.
This season's Heat team is really stormy.
As soon as the game started, the three main players were plagued by injuries.
On Nov. 3, the Heat lost to the Mavericks 93-103.
On Nov. 4, the Heat lost to the Spurs 73-80.
Five straight defeats.
The Heat are at the bottom of the league.
……
Subsequently, the Heat returned to Miami again.
They are on the verge of playing their second home game of the season.
The opponent is the Timberwolves.
This season, the Timberwolves have formed a three-headed monster lineup of Garnett, Cassel, and Sprewell.
Coupled with Garnett, who is in his prime (23 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game last season), the Timberwolves are aiming for a championship.
However, at the beginning of the season, the three-headed monster was in the run-in period, and the Timberwolves had a poor record, only 3 wins and 3 losses.
But even so, the Timberwolves' strength is crushing the Heat.
The only good news is that in this game, Wade will be back.
……
At this moment, Li Lei also has his own troubles.
He found a problem that Cato might really have an issue with him.
Cato has struggled in these games.
As the starting center for the Heat, he failed to improve his stats and instead performed worse than last season.
He's a bit of a loner and doesn't communicate much with the rest of the Heat, but at least he can talk.
For Li Lei, he didn't care at all.
Previously, Jones asked Haslem to buy him coffee and donuts, which is also a tradition in the NBA locker room.
Li Lei and Haslem put together a few people, and a few rookies went together to buy a lot for the veteran players.
The veterans are very satisfied.
Only Cato, when Li Lei handed the coffee to Cato, Cato turned a blind eye and turned his head and left.
Li Lei was particularly embarrassed at the time.
Alston and Odom also wanted to stand up for Li Lei and teach Cato a lesson, but were stopped by Li Lei.
At the end of the day's training, Spoelstra found Li Lei.
The coaching staff also found out about Cato's problem, and they talked to Cato, but it didn't work out.
Cato faintly revealed his resentment towards Li Lei in the chat.
Spo reminded Li Lei.
"But you don't have to worry, if Cato dares to do something too much, we won't sit idly by."
After experiencing the draft and summer league, Spo's love for Li Lei is undisguised.
In addition, Cato struggled, but Li Lei was very good, which is one of the reasons why the coaching staff supported Li Lei.
In the NBA, in the end, strength is king.
Li Lei averaged 11.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.7 steals and 2.1 blocks per game in the first five games.
The coaching staff is not blind.
