Time is in a hurry, on October 10, the only legal holiday in October in the United States, the Heat also ushered in the first preseason game of the new season.

They flew to New Orleans with last year's overall runners-up, Spurs, where they will play a game on both sides.

This is also a public welfare performance competition temporarily arranged by the alliance.

Because of the city's low-lying terrain, the city of New Orleans usually relies only on levees, drainage canals and giant pumps to pump water, but the hurricane destroyed the city's defenses, and the city was submerged in floodwaters a month and a half ago.

And this stadium, which is full of devastation and has become quite dilapidated due to flooding, is one of the high points of the entire city, and carries the hope of the survivors who have not left.

Unfortunately, due to the flooding, this arena can no longer meet the needs of daily use, and the Hornets were forced to temporarily relocate to Oklahoma to borrow the arena there, and temporarily changed its name to the Oklahoma Hornets

But there is no problem with laying temporary floors and giving a charity performance.

And in this game, called "Hope", it was not as exciting as expected.

The Heat wanted to dedicate a fist-to-flesh game to give some comfort to the victims on this ruin, but on the Spurs' side, Duncan, who was still alive before, suddenly broke his foot the day before yesterday and couldn't come.

Originally, Leitner was gone, and Popovich was relieved, because among the remaining people in the Heat, there were either good guys or villains who liked to fight in the open.

With Duncan's endurance, a head-on injury would not be a big deal for him.

However, after the Heat's makeup photos leaked out two days ago, Popovich thought about it and "let" Duncan get injured.

Among those dozens of pictures, there is a photo of Mo Wen and their rookie inside rookie Taft, in which the two of them pose quite seriously with boxing gloves and "beat each other" there.

The other photos are either handsome or cool, and they are all happy, and the style of this photo has changed greatly.

Who are you?

I carry a knife.

Are you a good person or a bad person?

I'm carrying a knife!

Popovich: RBQ, RBQ!

But even if they weren't sluggish, the Spurs showed some resilience, and they were in a halftime stalemate with the Heat's second team before finally losing.

Popovich: Phew, you're embarrassed to say that's the second team?

Mo Wen, Payton, Rasul, Haslem, Mourning.

Three championship starters plus two former All-Star veterans, saying it's the second team, how embarrassed are you?

Da Fan also wanted to be on the full starting lineup, but the full starting lineup took it and only played half a quarter to open up 7 points.

Without Duncan, the Spurs' ceiling is the playoffs, and the scene looks like an NBA team playing NBDL.

The process is just two words: crushing.

The Heat didn't break fast, so they slowly ran over all the way.

When all five people have the ability to attack and play, and they all have the awareness of sharing the ball, they don't need to steal points quickly, and they play directly in the Russian style-

Steel torrent!

You'll only feel annoyed by being stolen points from the fast attack.

But being trampled on the head by positional warfare, there is really only despair.

The Spurs didn't do much to strengthen in the summer, and they didn't have the money to do it.

Spurs owner Hotter is a tractor seller, he doesn't have much money in his hand, and his net worth is 80 million, which is the poorest class with Rockets boss Alexander.

But Alexander is also engaged in lending in addition to the team, and his net worth does not have much reference significance, and in the end, Hottle, who is engaged in industry, is the only poor among the league bosses.

Over the summer, the Spurs re-signed Horry and brought in the cut Van Axel, and nothing else has been a big move.

(Raheem's previous arrival at the Spurs was a mistake in arrangement, which has been corrected)

After the game, Popovich tried to pretend in front of the camera that he didn't care about the result of the game, a picture of friendship first and game second.

But he knows very well that the Spurs are basically out of the way to this year's championship.

…

After the game against the Spurs, the Heat packed their bags non-stop and flew to China.

Star teams enjoy more broadcast rights and must also contribute to expanding the league's influence.

Two matches in China, one match in Japan, Yanjing, Yangcheng, Tokyo.

Three games in a row, all against the Rockets, which were all arranged a long time ago.

It's not so much a preseason game as an exhibition game.

Players on both sides also played the game as if it were an All-Star.

However, the Rockets, which were still sitting on the "home field" last year, have become a foil this year.

After Mo Wen won the FMVP, the home team in the hearts of most domestic fans became the Heat.

Not to mention Mo Wen, the popularity of Ao Fat, who is close to the people, is almost more popular than Da Yao.

"Is it an illusion, I haven't seen you for a few months, and Yao seems to have softened a lot." After the game, Ao Fat found an opportunity to ask Mo Wen.

"He lost 5 kilograms, you gained 5 kilograms, what do you say?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes.

"Shaq, have you heard a joke?"

"What joke?" O'Neill tilted his head.

"If there is a man who falls without touching it, he is Divac;

If someone casually touches it, he's Ginobili;

If someone is hit hard and falls, he is Yao Ming;

If someone gets hit hard and looks like they're about to fall, he's Iverson;

If someone is hit hard and doesn't move, he's Ewing;

If someone gets hit hard and the person who hits him falls first, he's ......"

Mo Wen said and patted Ao Fat's belly.

"Oh, haha, I got the joke on it, so who is that guy?" Ao Fat was half proud, half proud, raising his head and patting his belly.

"Isn't that what Mo said about you?" Wade next to him poked his head a little confused.

"No, what Shaq is asking is, who wouldn't want to hit him!"

Originally, the Heat in the exhibition game should have been crushed, and Ao Fat, who gained weight, took back some of the dominance of the Lakers on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he now has his legs "rooted" passively, and he is reluctant to come out when he enters the interior.

Da Yao's outside brush brush shot no one cared, Ao Fat also wanted a face, afraid of being photographed Yan Page's body size, seeing Da Yao catching the ball on the outside, he didn't choose to defend it, but directly took a half step back and stuck sideways.

As long as I don't defend, then Yao Ming can't shoot me.

The most outrageous thing is that this pure lazy behavior is also regarded as a human sophistication by Chinese fans.

Basically, no one laughed at Ao Fat's defense, but praised his "high emotional intelligence".

After Yao Ming's leg injury was healed, he followed Mo Wen's advice and has been practicing hard in the long range of throws, and it seems that the effect is not bad so far.

The efficiency of mid-to-long-range shooting is certainly not as high as that of hitting the basket, but the advantage is that it is easy to catch the ball and has more opportunities to shoot.

After Da Yao refused to renew his contract early, his position was not shaken, but also slightly improved.

Although the initiative with the ball is still in the hands of Maddie, in these preseason games, Da Yao's shots have increased significantly, but I don't know if this trend can be maintained into the regular season.

The Heat players had a great time on this journey.

Even though there are many celebrities among them, they have never been so sought after.

On the return flight, he complained that his fingers had been tortured worse than his twisted toes in the past two days.

True signature sign-in hand cramps.

Wade, Walker and Payton were slightly disappointed.

They originally wanted to taste the taste of Chinese-style roast chicken, but Mo Wen didn't mean to show them the world.

In Miami, Mowen can have a casual treat, because there is an industrial chain there, as long as you make money, there will be no other problems, and the popularity of Heat players is not so high that they are always watched.

But in China, not to mention that Mo Wen, a law-abiding and good citizen, has no way, with the popularity of a Heat player, he can go out for a snack and get on the news.

The Netherlands over there in Macau... Although the eggs are tempting, Mo Wen didn't want to get himself a "chivalrous" idea.

Back in Miami, after two days of rest, the Heat finally ended their preseason journey with three more preseason games with a 6-1 record with a 6-1 record.

Before the start of the regular season, prediction is indispensable.

Various sports media have made predictions and assessments of the strength of each team in the new season.

Not surprisingly, the Heat dominated the top of the media lists.

It is true that the Heat, with many veterans, looks a bit of a reverse version, but last season the Heat proved that in the face of absolute strength, the so-called version is nothing more than that.

Ao Fat is a year older, and last year's weight loss results have also been replaced by delicious and indulgent, but the two outside twins of the class of 03 have also matured further.

Coupled with the arrival of a group of strong reinforcements who can squeeze the championship starters out of the bench, the only remaining dead end for the Heat is the fast break.

However, the Suns, who were considered the biggest rivals of the Heat in the new season a month ago, fell out of the top three in this list.

Because......

Xiao Si was injured.

Xiao Si, who had just signed a big contract with the Suns on his front foot, was admitted to the hospital with knee discomfort on the second day of training camp.

After diagnosis, Xiao Si needs surgery on his knee, and counting the recovery period, it will be four months at the earliest to return to the field, and it is not certain that the prognosis will have any more problems.

Normally, the team will have a medical before signing a big contract, and the Suns omitted this step for the sake of so-called respect.

In fact, there is no way to do this, and Xiao Si, who is about to reach his contract year, has been eye-to-eye with the Lakers in the summer.

The Lakers also claimed that they had locked in four targets, Da Yao, Xiao Si, Garnett and Nowitzki, and the four must take one of them.

Garnett and Nowitzki are both under contract, and it's a bit difficult to trade for a super-large contract, but Da Yao and Xiao Si are different, they happen to be restricted free agents in the contract year, and there is a lot of room to operate.

Although Da Yao refused to renew his contract early, he still squirmed and said that he liked the city of Houston.

Xiao Si has said that he likes to work with Nash many times, but he is also very realistic and has never expressed the idea of renewing his contract.

The sun panicked.

Life is so dramatic, and you are punished for not following the process.

Xiao Si's knees were not very comfortable in the summer, and then the problem erupted on the second day of training camp, do you say coincidentally......

Nash is the irreplaceable core of the Suns, how can Xiaosi, the efficient scoring champion of the team, be an arrow that can be easily replaced?

The Suns, who rotate six or seven people, have one less team scoring leader, and this is still a ball.

Embarrassment was let go, Xiao Si was lying on the hospital bed again, and the new owner Savor had a brain twitch and traded the big Q of the outside three-point battery to the Knicks......

Last season's five starters were left with Nash and Marion in a blink of an eye, and there were some defensive players, but the Suns didn't win by defense.

ESPN's ability to rank the Suns in sixth place is purely to give Nash face, and in other media predictions, the Suns have fallen out of the top eight.

In the official power rankings, the Spurs are ranked second, and they are mainly able to rank here because of their stability, with little change in their core and role players.

The third is the Pistons, originally the Pistons could be ranked second, but after they changed the offensive coach Sanders, they didn't know if they could have chemistry, so they temporarily ranked third.

The top three are okay, they are all acquaintances, and there is a lot of controversy when the top three are out.

The rocket occupies the fourth place.

Top guard Maddie + top interior Da Yao + beast forward Swift, a top defender who has entered the mature period, the seemingly reasonable configuration combination gives everyone a lot of imagination.

The fifth is the Knights, Stern has made a force... Oh no, it was the Cavaliers management team who made a move, and Reed's arrival solved the problem of the Cavaliers' second scoring point.

James + Reed + Big Z, you look, you look carefully, and you ask if you look like the configuration of the Heat Big Three?

James' performance in the regular season was no worse than that of Mo Wen in the playoffs...... Where's the difference, right?

Reed's projection is also stronger than Wade's, and the breakthrough is 100 million points worse, but with Ajan there, he doesn't need to work hard; Big Z can't touch Ao Fat, but he is also the top ten inside line in the league, and his attendance rate is super high, and he will not drop the chain at critical moments.

This future is quite "ridable"!

The Pacers, who had won two games against the Heat, finished in seventh place, and after Atay's departure, there was a question mark over their defense.

The Lakers, who didn't have much reinforcement in the summer, climbed to 10th, and their lineup fits the version well, but there is still a question mark over whether a few potential players can play.

……

On November 1, the Heat's home opener played their old neighbor Magic.

This is also a benefit arranged by the league for the Heat, and the first four games of the season were played at home.

And today, there is something more important than the opening game itself.

- Ring hair, flag raising.

Fat O, who was the first to appear, took his fourth ring, and in order to further stimulate someone, he also wore those three rings of the Lakers on his hand today.

He did the same move he did when he won the championship again.

OK gesture, the three fingers stretched out were all wearing the Lakers' rings, and when the ring was issued, he popped his index finger in front of the camera and asked Riley to put it on for him.

And after putting on the ring, Ao Pang put away the three fingers again, and only showed his index finger to swing back and forth between the camera and his big face with a narrow smile, pointing and pointing.

The Zen master, who was watching the live broadcast at home, sighed, and the eyes of the heart of "OK" were not as big as the inflatable needle eye of basketball.

I hope Kobe Bryant didn't watch the live broadcast, otherwise...... The Lakers locker room has a few more atmospheres to add.

In fact, at this moment, there is a team that is more uncomfortable than the Lakers, and that is the magic that was witnessed on the spot.

Before, the Lakers were separated from Orlando by an American distance, and as long as the TV was turned off, they couldn't see it.

But now, 0 distance.

The old Wang next door is live face-to-face.

Wade, who appeared in the second game, also received a lot of cheers, although he lay down for an injury, but it was also an injury that he suffered after working hard for the Heat.

Mourning came out on the third and kissed the ring, the jersey and the floor of the pitch.

And then there's Haslem... Rasul... Dolyak... Kenyon Dulin in the Magic jersey... Steve Smith, who officially retired and wore a suit......

"Finally, let's have that man—"

"He's a magician from the East—"

"He's Ares (God of War) of the Purging Alliance—"

"He's Poseidon dancing wildly in the tsunami—"

"He's the FMVP you can always trust—"

“More——Win！！！！”

In the roar of the old DJ in the American Airlines Arena, Mo Wen smiled and buckled his toes, slowly walked out of the players' tunnel in the cheers that resounded through the world, slowly came to the front of the stage, took the second ring that was not outstanding and wore it on his finger, with a confident smile, and raised his arms high.

"Roaring ——!"

“WIN！！！”

“Stay！” “Stay！” “Stay！”

In the midst of the cheers, there were also many voices that asked Mo Wen to stay.

Including many fans in the front row, they also held signs asking Mo Wen to leave behind.

Mo Wen turned a deaf ear to this, and not promising was his last tenderness.

Suddenly, Mo Wen seemed to think of something, put down his hand, touched the hairband on his head, found the position, and turned the headband inside out, revealing a few letters-

"Again"

Then he stretched out his bare third finger and raised it again towards the sky.

This is one of the few promises he can give.

There is no inaudible voice in the microphone, but this picture, more than any sound, any promise, is inspiring.

"Mo!" "Mo!" "Mo!"

“Again！” “Again！” “Again！”

With continuous cheers, Mo Wen bowed twice before he fell silent for a short time.

Finally, when the atmosphere was at its climax, under the watchful eyes of all the Heat players, the two owners, Pat Riley and Allison, pulled together and hoisted the flag symbolizing the championship over the American Airlines arena.

"That's nice."

Hidden in the tunnel of the players, Payton poked his head out slightly, squinting at all this.

He controlled his eyelids and kept the image in front of him hazy so that he could substitute it all into the arena in his mind.

It was a dream that was within reach.

At that time, he was in high spirits, thinking that a failure was nothing, and he still had a lot of time to squander.

But in the blink of an eye, it is 10 years of waste.

Exactly 10 years.

He withdrew the last money from the Time Bank and emptied the account.

In the few days left, it was his only chance.

The end of the exciting session.

The big screen above the stadium also showed a documentary about the Heat's victory.

The Heat players returned to the locker room for a while to calm down.

A few old birds without rings, like curious babies, picked up other people's rings and looked at the lights again and again.

"They all say that the boss is rich, and this ring looks like this."

Peyton smacked his lips, he borrowed the rings of Fat and Mowen, and cheekily asked for Steve Smith's first ring (which he won with the Spurs in 2003), and from 2000 to 2005, he had stringed the rings on one hand for six consecutive years.

"Rare things are expensive, and more is naturally worthless."

This time, the excitement in Mo Wen's heart faded faster than getting the Piston championship ring, even if this ring meant far more to him than the Pistons.

"Damn poor worm, you don't have a goal to fight for at such a young age. Let me think about what you're going to do next, get a big contract, spend all your time, live the life you want, hehe, I seem to see the birth of a bastard again! Peyton, who was pretended, said with a sincere "blessing".

Several people next to him also laughed when they heard this.

"Don't take anyone for Kemp, old fellow" Mo Wen shook his head with a smile and reached out to take the ring. "After you win the championship, you will find out that the championship is not the end."

"Bah-"

Peyton pouted, looking like he was watching you put on a show.

"Let me ask you, do you know how many ways to write the word win?" Mo Wen raised the corners of his mouth and asked.

"Huh?" Peyton raised his eyebrows, a little confused, he looked around in confusion, "How many more can there be?" ”

Ao Fat, who got a master's degree in the summer, pretended to be an ostrich just after a little thought.

"You guy, don't talk to us about those words, Brother Ni only plays real (real niggas do real things!) Walker, who was not highly educated, said next to him.

Mo Wen didn't hang on to them, and stretched out four fingers

"Four-"

“Win a ring！ (Win a Ring)"

“Win a real ring！ (Win a real ring)"

“Win all——rings！ (Win all rings)"

Mo Wen's tone was unpleasant, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Hear what he says.

Hear him clearly.

Hear his ...... Ambition.

The eyes of those who realized what Mo Wen had said widened.

Good guys, good boys.

At most, others covet the position of Danzi.

The craziest thing is just to say to the portrait of Danzi: He can take his place!

Straight into your mouth becomes to win all.

Moreover, looking at Mo Wen's expression, this kid doesn't even look like he's joking!

No, it's a joke, because this kind of self-confidence is not something that one person can have.

Does he know how many talented people there are in this alliance? Win them all, that's a dream!

"Wait, aren't there only three, but what about another?" Holding his hand to his trembling brain, Peyton asked, pointing to the remaining finger

"Right here, Win more." Mo Wen chuckled and turned his finger and pointed it at himself.

Two seconds later, laughter erupted in the locker room, along with applause.

Peyton took a deep breath and rubbed his face violently, then patted his limp knee again.

"Fack, man, if you could have been born ten years earlier, I'd be your Pippen for the rest of my life!"

Biting his lip, Wade turned his head away.

Don't say it, don't say it, I'm hesitating, I can't hold on anymore!!

……

There is no suspense in the game with Magic, and the second-year Warcraft already has qualified interior strength, but it is still far from enough to face Ao Fat.

His little muscle and strength did not have the slightest advantage in front of Ao Fat, and his clumsy technique and shallow experience were also comprehensively crushed.

Speed is his only advantage, but the Magic's fast offense doesn't have the clear directivity of the Suns, and it's more of a chaotic battle.

In the middle, Mo Wen steals the magic twice in a row, and they have to slow down.

And as soon as it fell to the rhythm of positional battles, Warcraft was opened up in only a few rounds.

Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, the Heat, who started with five stars, have shown strong pressure.

In fact, it would actually be better to put Walker on the bench, and when Haslem plays, the Heat's mobility and impact will be improved.

However, the Heat are playing with momentum.

This kind of lineup is placed on the field, which is the psychological oppression and torture of the opponent.

Think about it, you simply played a ranking in Hanbok, but when you went in, you saw that the middle single opposite was melon peel, the lower lane was Uzi, the top single was a shy man, the jungler was 7 sauce, and the auxiliary was mata.

Regardless of whether the strength is strong or not, just ask if you are afraid.

Anyway, the Magic only lasted half the game, and the second half was basically the training time for the two teams.

Originally, the Heat also recruited a bunch of old birds this season, Walker, Bai Qiao, Payton, Posey......

As a result, Posey and Bai Qiao were plagued by injuries at the beginning of the game, and Fat also entered the rest period of a few days every year, and the team could only crawl forward in Wade's reunion and Walker's ass twisting wave.

Da Fan's tactics grabbed the head, and he couldn't fix the locker room, so he could only take the initiative to resign and go home to take the children and move the position for Riley.

But Mo Wen's presence helped Dafan get everything.

The team's management thinks that Dafan is a little too salty, and he doesn't hear anything, what role does he have.

But the team has been winning, and they can't say that Dafan is doing something wrong.

Mo Wen is very clear about the characteristics of his teammates, and he is handy in distribution, and he may be a little biased sometimes, but the personalities of several new signings are all good people, as long as they can lead them to win, they will not care much if the data is not data.

Payton may be the only thorn, but he was soon conquered by Mo Wen and became the No. 2 licking dog on the Heat team after Dafan.

Ball skills, tactical awareness, black hands, trash talk, cupping, teammate relationship handling, no matter which aspect is singled out, he is much better than him.

For Peyton, Mo Wen is almost a perfect person!

In addition to the skin is not dark......

It's a bit of a problem to be fat.

Because of O'Fat's weight and health, his playing time in the regular season should be as short as possible.

Mo Wen didn't want Ao Fat to be in a state of constant minor injuries all season like in the original history.

Because of Ao Fat's age, maybe that small injury will become a big injury.

The Heat's lineup is very luxurious, but the inside attack still depends on Ao Fat.

They discussed controlling Ao Fat's playing time to 30 minutes, and trying not to let Ao Fat play those back-to-back games.

Although Ao Fat was a little unhappy and felt that he was not enough to be a gentleman, this was too careful, but Mo Wen and Da Fan were 2:1, and he could only obey the majority.

In November, the Heat were like the Grim Reaper, easily reaping victories in the East.

In the first half of the year, the Nets caused them a little trouble, and they got together a troika composed of Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, and Raheem, and the impact was quite good.

But it only dragged the game into the fourth quarter.

More than halfway through the fourth quarter, Mo Wen put away his health play, pressed the Nets' weak inside line three times in a row, and held the ball twice on the outside line and suddenly pulled it out, plus Wade also puffed out his cheeks, and the two of them combined to score 15 points in four minutes, and took away the game in one wave.

In the second half of November, the league consciously reduced the whistle of the opening 10 consecutive wins over the Heat, but there is always someone who can stand up for the Heat, which cannot be affected by a few whistles.

After clocking in for the third quarter, Finley and Walker offered to sit on the bench.

Because the substitutes played more time than they played.

Although they accepted a contract with a large salary cut, they did not want to disappear from people's attention so quickly.

In November, the Heat won consecutive games, and all 15 teams in the East and West were included in the Heat's winning streak.

15 consecutive wins, directly tied the opening winning streak set by the Rockets in 93.

However, everyone knows that the Heat's record-breaking is just the beginning.

Because of this record, Mo Wen, who averaged 23 points, 11.3 assists and 8 rebounds per game, was named the player of the month for the first time.

Mo Wen's data has not risen much, one is that there are more stars in the team, and the other is less playing time.

often punches in the third quarter, Mo Wen is too lazy to brush the data, the current balance in the Heat team is good, and he is also happy.

Of course, this data is already quite scary in this day and age.

Nash, who ranks second in the assist list, is only 20+10.5, and he averages 7 minutes more minutes per game than Mo Wen.

Wade's stats are also good, averaging 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

But a lot of Wade's data is garbage time.

Considering that Wade will have to regain possession of the ball next season, Wade took over the work of leading the bench lineup.

Not to mention anything else, from the perspective of efficiency, Mo Wen has fully wrapped Wade.

Mo Wen shot 51 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point range, and 92 percent from the free throw line, becoming only the second person since Larry Bird to enter the 180 club while averaging 20 points per game.

The Heat's winning streak lasted until mid-December, and after winning a 23-game winning streak, they played the Pistons back-to-back, and Ao Fat, who had some discomfort in his legs and feet, chose to take a turn to rest.

The Pistons, who have been coached by Sanders, have not fallen, but have been singing all the way, losing only four of their last 22 games, and they are no worse than they were under Larry Brown, and the game is much better.

The Pistons players are very happy with this change, except for Ben, his offense is so bad that Sanders no longer treats him as a treasure, but sprays him every day.

Big Ben is still dominant on the defensive end, but Sanders has ignored his contribution on the defensive end in the same way that Larry Brown has ignored Milicic's offensive talent.

Big Ben, who was holding his breath, directly incarnated as Spider-Man in this game, flying around within the three-point line.

Slash 20...... rebounds, 7 blocks, 2 steals.

It's all done to the Heat players who want to break in.

Heading into the fourth quarter, they led the Heat by 12 points.

When Mo Wen wanted to stand up and turn the tide, Sang Dese accelerated in time.

Plus the referee's double-standard connivance with the defensive actions of the Pistons players.

The Heat eventually stuck their opening record at 23 wins.

"I told you a long time ago, I want to set a record on the head of Detroit - there are no doors, hahahaha!"

"Chauncey."

"Huh?"

"I remember we still have two punches left?"

“…… WTF, voila, that beauty is real! ”

"Where?"

Phew-

Adjusted my schedule and rest, and slept at night, 8K split into two counts as last night and tonight......

(End of chapter)
