"The Outbreak of Point Guards, on the Changes Brought to the League by the New Rules"

News coverage of the Heat and Mo Wen exploded after the game against the 76ers.

There's no way, who makes the Eastern team so unhappy this year.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, the Nets can't even get together a starter now, and they are directly swooping towards the champion, although the Pacers and Pistons are not as big as they were in the original history in Auburn Hills, but the antagonistic relationship between fans and players can only be handled coldly, and only the Heat is left to blow it.

Wade, who cut 30+, thought after the game that he could finally have a look, Mo Wen did not have a triple-double, and the data of the big shark in this game was only 19+8, plus this was his fourth 30+ game this season, and he was against Iverson again.

Stacked so many buffs, on the headlines, on the cover, not too much, right?

But after he got the next day's newspaper, he found out that so many reporters interviewed him for so long yesterday, how could he account for a quarter of the entire Heat?

This is 30+, at least shouldn't you open a column to?

Then he looked at the headlines of a few sports newspapers, and after looking at the headlines above, Wade suddenly felt as if his eyes were blind.

Don't love data? Ordinary players? By the way?

FNMDGP!

That bastard really dared to say it, and so did that group of stupid reporters.

At ICQ, Wade complained about it with his friends he made during last season's All-Star weekend.

[Did you see Mo's post-match interview speech, hahaha. 】

Wade, who was not very good in culture class, was still trying his best to type the following sentences

[I really can't believe him, he is so young, but he is so empty... 】

Before Wade could type out, the young man from Akron on the other end of the computer was the first to reply to him.

[He's right, I feel like Mo and I are the same kind of people, in order to win, data doesn't really matter to me, you think so too, right? ] 】

Wade's return stopped, and the smile on his face froze.

······

After returning from the 76ers' home court to catch his breath, he hurried to the Utah Plateau again.

When he was in the Pistons last season, Mo Wen came to Salt Lake City with the team once, and the height of 1,300 meters will not have a serious high reaction for players who exercise every day, but the impact of physical strength is still inevitable.

So Mo Wen knocked Rhodiola in advance after seeing the schedule.

may be a placebo effect, after getting off the plane, Mo Wen feels good, and after a night's rest, Mo Wen's state is much better than that of the team.

Today, the Delta Center Arena (the home of the Jazz at this time) is particularly lively, not only full of seats, but also a number of "big names", including past Jazz celebrities, several local state legislators, and President Stern.

Of course, they didn't come to watch today's game, but to participate in a more solemn ceremony.

John Stockton's No. 12 jersey, the all-time No. 1 assist leader, will be officially retired and hung up by the Jazz today.

"John Stockton is a model of an NBA player both on and off the court, and he will forever go down in the annals of Utah and the league as a whole, and in addition to his unattainable stats, people should also remember him for his boldness and composure in the game, as well as his exemplary professionalism and ethics, and he is the pride of our state of Utah."

Under a speech by a familiar Utah legislator, Stockton and his six children slowly hoisted their old jerseys to the roof of the arena like a flag.

Mo Wen looked at this scene, with admiration, but without much respect, he had played with Stockton many times in the copy, and knew how the first person in this point guard data came from.

The unblocked dismantling between him and Ma Long is not so much a tacit understanding of the golden partner as a product of the rules.

In the 81 season, in order to encourage offense, the NBA banned joint defense, and strengthened and clarified the "illegal defense" rule at that time.

The crude and one-sided explanation of the main content is that it is necessary to defend with man to man, and after establishing the defensive goal, it can be wrapped (the target must be the ball carrier) but not the defense.

For example, Stockton, who was defended by Kerr, held the ball to find Malone to cover, once Kerr couldn't keep up, Rodman could come up to make up for it, but Kerr couldn't change the defense, and he couldn't even show any defensive posture, otherwise it would cause a "non-defense" violation, and Kerr must insist on catching up and wrapping up. If Stockton passes the ball to Malone at this time, Kerr must not interfere and must wait until Rodman makes a defensive stance before defending Malone as a trap player

Under this rule, as long as Malone blocks Stockton's pursuers for the first time, it means that he and Stockton must have one person who can get a long or short vacancy.

Otherwise, with Stockton's floor-to-floor style of play, he played every game, and he couldn't average 14.5 assists per game in his peak season.

After the jersey retirement ceremony, Stern did not leave, but looked at the Heat team on the court and smiled.

It's not a coincidence, the old assist king retired, and the new generation of assist king came to take over, which was originally just a random schedule, but it formed a "inheritance" by chance.

The old man noticed Stern's stupid appearance next to him, and after a little thought, he knew what the hell the old fox was doing.

But he is not interested in this so-called "baton" gimmick.

Stockton's successor will be cultivated by himself, and it will not be the turn of another team to get involved.

The Jazz put out the starting lineup: Arroyo, Kirisek, Kirilenko, Boozer, Jeron Collins.

And the Heat still have the same lineup as before.

Looking at the "AK47" Kirilenko who was defending in front of him, Mo Wen had a little helplessness on his face.

AK47 hasn't suffered a major injury yet, and he's still the all-around fighter, and of all the skills, his most prominent one is defense, with a height of 206, combined with a monster reach of 228, which allowed him to average 1.9 steals and 2.8 blocks per game on the defensive end last season.

And when the game started, Mo Wen found that he was being taken care of by Kirilenko far more than just him.

The defensive focus of the entire Jazz did not focus on Wade and O'Fat, who had previously scored high scores, but instead put a lot of energy into him.

Sloan has previously studied the Heat's tactics this season.

Most of the time, the Heat's offense is done by Wade and O'Neal, but the key to making these two inside and outside stars play so freely is Mo Wen's tandem with the entire team.

Mo Wen will always use some tactical coordination to let the role players play to show their strength and threat, and then the defensive lineup has to be pulled apart, giving Wade the space to break through and O'Neal to play alone under the basket.

In his expectation, as long as he stared at Mo Wen, the whole Heat would be very uncomfortable.

To the surprise of the old coach, Mo Wen, who was targeted at the opening game, did not show how uncomfortable he looked, although every time he attacked Mo Wen would basically call cover, it looked like there was some ink, but the victory was stable and there were few mistakes.

And Mo Wen was not obsessed with dribbling to organize the offense, after finding that Wade was in good shape today, he handed over the ball to Wade in the second half of the first quarter, and he pulled away on the strong side and gave Wade a casual single.

Mo Wen is just one of the Heat's offensive veins, while Kirilenko is the Jazz's only defensive vein on the outside.

Without Kirilenko, the Jazz's other two outside players, Arroyo and Kirisek, can't be said to be defensive colanders, but they don't have much to do with Wade's breakthrough.

In his previous life, Wade was very restrained from the Jazz, before joining forces with James, his shooting percentage was basically above 50% when he played the Jazz, and the Heat was also one of the few teams that could score three consecutive wins at the Jazz home court for three consecutive years. On the other hand, Cavaliers Jen has not won at the Jazz's home court for seven years.

O'Neal is very dead in the low post, Collins is a traditional blue-collar interior line of nearly 120 kilograms, and with Boozer, who is always ready to break the ball in front, the front and back clamps are only because, the arrangement for O'Fat is in place.

After the first quarter, Mo Wen and Ao Fat were basically playing soy sauce, Mo Wen only shot one three-pointer, 1 of 1 free throws, got 4 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds, Ao Fat was 2 of 4, 1 of 3 free throws, got 5 points and 4 rebounds, and Wade was 4 of 6, 4 of 4 free throws, and 12 points and 2 assists in the first quarter.

Relying on Wade Heat's 24:21 in the first quarter, the Jazz led by 3 points in the first quarter.

The Jazz without De Xiaochubby is a loose game on offense, Arroyo did not show his spirituality in international competitions, he always likes to observe before every pass, so that his assist errors are better than control, but he also missed a lot of opportunities, and Ayoro, who led the team to win the Dream Six team in the summer, is now a little floating, not so listening to Sloan on the offensive end, and many tactical Jazz have not been able to play.

In the second quarter, Ao Fat rested as usual, Mo Wen and Wade started a fast attack, and the score difference gradually increased.

Wade went crazy, so that Kirilenko had to divert his defensive attention, and before he could give Wade strength, Mo Wen used two three-pointers to set him back.

Sloan has been experimenting with the fast break since last season, and then increased his efforts this season, but there is no point guard like Kidd who passes the ball in the half court, resulting in the Jazz's outside line mostly reducing the defensive intensity for the fast break, and the whole team can't pull a person who can play against Wade.

Ragabel was substituted by Sloan in the second quarter, but this season's Ragabel has not yet found the balance between fast break and defense, and the defensive efficiency per 100 rounds is 112, which is better than that of the old Gundula.

At halftime, the Heat 52:45 Jazz, the point difference was further widened.

At halftime, Da Fan, who looked a little strange, offered to let Mo Wen, who was fishing, increase the ball in the second half, and arranged a lot of work for Wade to run without the ball.

After coming on the field, he pulled Mo Wen aside.

"There's a 'big fan' who just told me I hope you can feel a little bit about Stockton's retired jersey."

Mo Wen paused for two seconds before he realized what he meant.

Sure enough, this cultural person is different when he is a leader.

Unlike his father, he will say one sentence in his speech on weekdays - to Lao Tzu.

received the "fan's task", and after returning from the break in the second half, Mo Wen did not go to Wade again as he did at the beginning, but found Ao Fat, who was more powerful.

As for Wade, the blame was arranged on the strong side to play without the ball, although he didn't know what he was running, but due to the defensive pressure given by Wade in the first half, they really divided a lot of manpower to guard Wade.

In the third quarter, the two teams did not open up the point difference, but Mo Wen brushed his assist count to 9.

In the final quarter, the Heat returned to their regular style of play, and when they got serious, the Jazz were quickly beaten.

The offensive system is not mature enough, the team does not have a core scorer, and the defense is still porous, so it is indeed a bit difficult to win.

Sloan racked his brains and couldn't close the gap in the roster.

Wade scored a game-high 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 11-of-12 free throws. Ao Fat mainly played Green Leaf, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, and chipped in 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Mo Wen played a very Stockton score, with 16 points and 12 assists.

Although Sloan was still very unhappy in the end, he could only watch Mo Wen and Stockton in a suit and leather shoes complete a classic "high-five relay" in front of the camera under the arrangement of the president.

"Come on, the future is good."

Mo Wen, who was still smiling, froze directly after hearing Stockton on the other side say this.

The second watch will be tomorrow morning.
