053 Wang Zhizhi is here
The Heat don't have a super scorer, but they do have a lot of people who can score.
So far this season.
Jones Sr. had 17.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
Odom had 16.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1 block.
Wade had 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals.
Li Lei had 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.8 steals and 2.1 blocks.
Besides.
Alston had 9.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
Cato had 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.
Grant had 7.1 points and 6.1 rebounds.
Haslem had 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds.
In addition, Caron Butler, who has returned from injury, only has 5.3 points, 3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the last three games, but his strength is definitely more than that.
The main rotation of the average team is 7 to 8 players, and the Heat team has a surplus.
As the Heat's record gets better and better, fans are looking up to the Heat.
Gradually, no one called the Heat a belly, but said that the Heat were playing team basketball.
"Basketball is five people."
"Team first!"
Someone else turned up the deal in the draft.
It is to exchange Lafonso Aires + Anthony Carter for Cato + Li Lei.
Ellis was in good shape, still with 5 points and 2.8 rebounds.
Carter's stats fell, with only 3.3 points and 1.4 assists.
On the other hand, Cato had 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.
One top two!
And Cato isn't a matter of stats, he's a good fit for the Heat's lineup.
The Heat have several big players on the Grant, Haslem, and Odom teams, all of whom can play, but they are either too short, too skinny, or too old.
Cato's black and rough meat shield center just makes up for the shortcomings of the Heat team and has become an indispensable interior gate for the Heat team.
Just by comparing it like this, the Mosaic team has already lost.
Let's talk about Li Lei, who averaged 13.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.8 steals and 2.1 blocks per game.
Li Lei's offensive performance is second only to James, Anthony, and Wade.
On the defensive end, Li Lei is already the strongest in the 03rd class, and there is no suspense. He is now the Heat's perimeter defensive gate, dealing with the opposing team's perimeter core every night.
With two role players in exchange for one inside and one outside, it is already clear who will win and who will lose in this deal.
As a result, some people began to praise Pat Riley for his fierce vision and profound deeds.
Someone even blamed Morey.
"How could that fat man who had never touched basketball be the management of an NBA team."
"Alexander was blind, so he asked the pig to be Dawson's assistant."
"He's been played with by Riley to the point where he doesn't have any pants left!"
……
From the smug scenery when this deal was first exposed, to now Morey has become a street rat, and everyone shouts and beats him.
If it weren't for Alexander's support, he wouldn't have been able to do it anymore.
However, there are also a group of Houston die-hard fans who are still fantasizing about the future of the team.
"It's a loss, but the home team will have $7 million to $8 million in salary space over the next few years, and we can sign a quasi-All-Star caliber forward."
This is the only hope for die-hard fans.
Yao Ming + Francis + Mobley + Quasi-All-Star Forward...... This is a lineup worth looking forward to, and maybe it can be a championship.
The Mosaic team did a good job in public relations, and as soon as this set of team building ideas came out, the fans were a lot more relieved, and there were a lot fewer attacks on Morey.
……
When the Heat team was training, Cato came to Li Lei with a newspaper.
"Stone, do you think Mosaic's idea is feasible?"
Cato has played for Houston for many years after all, and it's impossible not to care.
Li Lei thought for a while: "The pie is well drawn!" ”
"What do you mean?"
Cato couldn't understand Li Lei's Chinese answer.
Li Lei pointed to the moon in the sky: "Is the moon beautiful?" ”
"Beautiful!"
Cato replied.
Li Lei asked again: "Can you touch it?" ”
"Can't!" Cato replied.
Li Lei smiled: "That's it." Look at Morey's way of doing things. It's not that Houston has no salary space this summer, but is only willing to spend 2.2 million on a veteran base salary to sign a Jim Jackson that no one wants. That guy is a problem player, he has no ball to play, only Houston will pick up the rags, and promote it as a treasure, and there is still gas in the tank. Sooner or later, that guy will blow up the locker room! ”
"Alexander doesn't want to spend money, Morey will only pick up rags, they are a natural pair! As for the overall winner...... Hehe! It's just a big pie for the fans, otherwise who cares about Houston. ”
Cato thought for a moment and finally sighed and shook his head.
December 5th.
The Heat host the 76ers.
Iverson went down to earth and scored 35 points, and he shot 5 of 9 three-pointers that he was not good at, leading the 76ers with a broken lineup to defeat the Heat and end the Heat's three-game winning streak.
The Heat's overall record changed to 10-9.
……
The next day, Coach Spo suddenly found Li Lei.
"Stone, do you know the player Wang Zhizhi?"
Li Lei was a little confused, he knew Wang Zhizhi, but he didn't understand.
Li Lei: "Of course! He's outstanding. ”
Li Lei said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "He can shoot three-point shots, has quite flexible feet, and has an elegant style of ball." ”
Spoelstra nodded, and off was gone.
Li Lei had a hunch and always felt that something was going to happen.
On the same day, the Heat flew to San Antonio to challenge the defending champion Spurs, but lost 70-86.
With a two-game losing streak, the Heat have an overall record of 10 wins and 10 losses.
When he returned to Miami, Li Lei met Wang Zhizhi at the American Airlines Center Arena, and he had passed the team's physical examination and officially joined the team.
The Heat offered him a two-year contract of $530,000 for the first year and $750,000 for the second.
Li Lei remembered Coach Spo's question, and his heart was sure enough.
After being waived by the Clippers, Wang Zhizhi did not play for a long time, and the Heat signed him from the free agent market.
"Brother Wang!"
Li Lei saw Wang Zhizhi at a loss on the sidelines, and took the initiative to shout.
When Wang Zhizhi heard the voice of his hometown, his heart moved, and he looked at Li Lei.
"Stone?"
Li Lei smiled: "Just call me a stone." ”
Wang Zhizhi finally smiled, stone, it sounded really kind.
"Stone, I'm coming to you, you have to take care of me more!"
Li Lei patted his chest: "No problem!" But you are the senior, and you have to take care of me. ”
"Good, good."
Wang Zhizhi smiled even more happily.
The stone looks like he's getting along with well, and he's not afraid of being alone with the Heat anymore.
Li Lei pulled Wang Zhizhi to the locker room.
"Guys, be quiet, I'll introduce you to a new guy."
"My fellow countryman, big brother, Wang Zhizhi!"
"You may call him king!"
It is indeed a bit difficult to let Lao Mei say the three words "Wang Zhizhi", but it is still called "Wang" Shun Mouth.
"Hello, King!"
Everyone on the Heat team greeted Wang Zhizhi one after another.
For Li Lei's sake, all of them are very kind.
At this moment, Odom ran over, hugged Li Lei's head, and said close to his ear: "Stone, I finally escaped from that ghost place in San Antonio, and I don't even have a nightclub." Tonight, my brother will take you to Hi Pi Hi Pi! ”
Li Lei pushed Odom away: "Ramal, if I go to a nightclub, will there be a girl who will go home with you?" ”
Odom stabbed on the spot: "Damn Stone! You are not afraid of dying of exhaustion. ”
Wade walked over at this time, touched his slightly bulging cheeks, and said narcissistically: "That's why I don't go to nightclubs, if handsome is also a kind of fault, I've been wrong." ”
"Huh!"
Li Lei sneered: "If you don't say anything about you driving a Ferrari with one hand, the ghost will take a fancy to you." ”
Caron Butler laughed, "Dwyan, you look like a boxer, and you've just been repaired." ”
The crowd was in a mess and laughing.
Wang Zhizhi looked at it enviously and wanted to join, but he couldn't take the first step.
