That night, the Heat welcomed their first opponent in February, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Ahead of this game, last summer's trade for the sixth-pick pick in the first round was once again in the spotlight.

For this transaction, the idea of "Lord Belle" at that time was: You may earn, but I will definitely not lose!

The reason is also very simple, Odom's urine is here, I can't cure the Lord, you can cure it?

There is a good chance that this is a garbage contract worth tens of millions!

Then the sixth-pick pick in the first round ......

In fact, after Woody was drafted by the Heat, none of the remaining options in the '03 draft had a star trait as a player at a glance!

At the time, Wade's meniscus put him in the first round with the 15th pick.

Only Chicagoans were determined to choose him because of his Chicago origins.

Chris Carman is a junior, with rough skills, blue-collar style, and a weak talent for body dynamics, which makes it possible to see the potential value of the head at a glance.

A little later, such as TJ Ford, who later went to the Bucks, also has physical problems......

The shortcomings of these people themselves are not so conspicuous, and there may be some reasons for choice.

But in the case of both problems, the idea of "Lord Belle" is simple:

Wait another year!

Here's another reason: the Heat's lineup for the new season is full of rookies!

What happens to a bunch of rookies plus Odom?

Judging from the situation of the Clippers, it is the top 10 picks in the first round!

Not to mention, the Heat also lost a second-round pick!

Combining these circumstances, "Lord Belle" is equivalent to obtaining a triple guarantee!

In such a situation, if he Baylor still doesn't dare to bet, is it still the famous "Baylor Lord"?

Results......

To be honest, when Wade played well, he didn't panic!

Count him Pat Riley as luck as he gambled on whoever he wanted to bet on!

Odom averaged 30 minutes per game, 15 plus 6 plus 6, and when his attitude on the court was much more correct, he didn't panic......

Count him Pat Riley will take care of people's hearts, and even Odom will make him submissive.

But as the season progressed, the Heat were still in third place in the East, and he suddenly panicked.

This is the key factor of "the Heat may earn, but he will never lose"!

The Heat have always been ranked so high, how could he get a high pick in the first round in '04?

Can this old bird's "dog luck" really be like this?

"Lord Belle" didn't understand, but he was really envious, and faintly had the urge to break off his friendship with this "old dog"!

Damn!

The media was also shocked that Pat Riley was able to earn this level of money, after all, the conditions were so harsh!

It is also necessary to have a new recruit with a problematic attitude, and in the case of a big contract, there is no problem off the field; I have to bet on the performance of the "older rookie" with big hidden dangers, and I have to play the team......

may also be difficult, the Heat will be the biggest "dark horse" in the league this season before the rise of the Timberwolves!

"Lord Belle" doesn't want anything now, but to break up with Pat Riley!

The Heat won the game without any suspense.

Odom's departure hasn't changed the team in any way, and it's still the same as ever.

Apparently......

Odom is indeed just a "-stirring stick".

If you want the Clippers to become a strong team, it's not enough to throw away this "stick"!

The most upsetting thing for Clippers fans is:

This "-stirring stick" played well in tonight's game.

18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists "triple-double"!

Completely played his "left-handed magician" style.

Odom's characteristic style is indeed very obvious, as long as he faces the opposite team that is the "traditional No. 4 position", so that he can play his characteristics of holding the ball on the outside, then the more he plays, the more he will show the omnipotent side, what is the shot, do not look at the pass, and even his own ball alone can play with ease, just talking about talent, PDD is definitely the best group of people in the league, may be singled, none of them can reach 100 points, But most of the comprehensive transcripts with more than 85 points can also be described as "terrifying".

Just like someone, you don't care how he won the NBA all-time scoring title, if you can get it, you can't deny his ability is a truth!

Let's talk about someone, you don't care how he won the 4 championship MVPs, he can change three teams and still win the finals MVP, you have to admit that he definitely has a hand in choosing a partner.

Wade, the other protagonist of this game, also played well, with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Where are these two people taking the data?

Isn't this a knife poked at "Lord Belle"?

Wade wasn't very excited tonight, though.

Before the game, Woody was stimulated by the image of Woody holding the "Rookie of the Month" trophy in one hand and the "Player of the Week" trophy in the other.

The whole cheek gang is filled with emotions like this:

I'm still far from it!

That's not enough to get me excited!

No, after the interview, he went to the training ground of the stadium to train again.

That look of seriousness, if Pat Riley saw it, he would definitely nod in satisfaction.

But Wade wanted more than just a satisfied nod.

The game against the Clippers reminded him once again that he was a rookie signed by Pat Riley for the draft pick, a trade that almost no one favored before the trade, and the only one who believed in him was his teacher, Pat Riley, and now he has proven that his teacher's vision is not wrong!

But he wanted to prove that Pat Riley's vision wasn't just wrong, it was discerning!

Come on, Wade, try to be a super rookie like Woody!

Well......

That's what "Candid Man" Wade thinks at the moment.

Seeing Woody trample the other two of the "Three Heavenly Prides" under his feet, Wade no longer expects that he can play better than Woody!

The concubine can't do it!

He has only one idea now, which cannot be exceeded, as long as it can be equaled, it is excellent......

Anyway, no one will think that his goal is low.

In this way, Wade kept silently reciting Woody's name in his heart, and desperately held the ball to break through again and again.

Entering the league so far, he is well aware that his strength lies in the first step of a breakthrough.

He also had a vague feeling that he could turn this into his "unique killer move", but with his brain, he couldn't grasp the trick.

So he can only use the simplest and crude way:

Repeat after repeat!

He believes that he will finally get the know-how in this boring training!

He seemed to have forgotten that he had just finished a game, although the intensity was not high, but it was also an NBA-level game, and his calf muscles were gradually sore.

"Crunch-squeak-"

The screeching sound of sneakers scraping against the floor rang out.

Wade shook his entire ankle uncontrollably when he hit the ground with his left foot in another directional breakaway, and then fell directly to the ground.

There was a sharp pain in the ankle.

WT… F？

Wade knew that he was in trouble, and his expression was inexplicably more sad:

Doesn't this bully honest people?

Originally, Wade thought that only Woody was bullying him, an honest man, but he didn't expect that now God is bullying him, an honest man.

Struggling to get up, he looked up and saw a face full of wrinkles, and even the depths of the wrinkles were written with a cold old man's face.

It's just that the old man's face was full of surprise at this moment:

"Way, Wade, you, are you okay?"

There was an eagerness in Wade's tone that Wade could clearly feel, which made Wade's heart warm.

You can go to shoot Yoremi milk tea commercials.

When the team doctor came, after careful examination, the results given were:

I went too far and sprained my foot.

Looking at the ankles, which were soon swollen like steamed buns, the team doctor's face was a little more dignified.

This sprain is too hardcore, and you have to check whether it hurts the bones and soft tissues.

However, he first gave Wade a preliminary verdict: "Even if there is no problem with the bones and soft tissues, you have to rest for at least a week for this injury, and you can't practice for at least half a month, your body has given a warning, you must pay attention to physical fatigue management!" ”

Listening to the doctor's words, Wade's cheeks were "swollen" even more because of the sadness.

Life is not easy, Awe sighed.

Pat Riley listened to the team doctor's advice and was less impatient.

He understood, it was just a sprain, was this an injury?

Little things, little things!

As long as you don't die, you will practice to death.

He was very satisfied with Wade's consciousness and touched Wade's head with satisfaction before leaving.

He didn't say anything, but he said it like he was saying everything.

Wade's face suddenly didn't have so much frustration, and he could clearly feel that he was walking into Pat Riley's heart.

It's almost time to see Woody!

Early the next morning, Woody also learned the news of Wade's injury.

Further examination results have come in, and the good news is that Wade's bones and soft tissues have not been injured, just simple injuries.

About 10 days of rest is fine.

"Don't practice too hard, man, you've only just joined the league......" Woody advised.

Although Wade is 22 years old, it is the first time he has experienced such a schedule and intensity, and his body must be in a load period, and he should have a good rest during this time.

How can you do this kind of intense training?

Hearing this, Wade almost went straight away.

You're too embarrassed to say that!

Who is this all because of?

Isn't it because of you?

If you weren't so fierce, how would I have done this?

MMP！

Persuade my brother to practice less, and then make the stadium his own home, right?

How poisonous the intentions are!

The more Wade thought about it, the more angry he became, and tilted his head to the side.

He suddenly thought that he couldn't train during this time, so would he be pulled by Woody again?

I've just tried so hard to close the distance, huh?

Woody looked at his sudden little emotion and was slightly stunned.

But then he thought that the child suddenly suffered an injury, and it was normal for him to be a little depressed, so he didn't take it to heart.

Well......

Unbeknownst to Woody, there was a fellow student named Dwyane Wade on the team who had been treating him as an opponent and was trying to catch up.

But it can't be helped, who let this classmate still have Carmelo Anthony, and his "good brother" LeBron James?

Woody really doesn't have time for anyone else!

Stan Van Gundy made changes to the Heat's starting lineup in the afternoon.

"Street Ball King" Ralph Alston was put in the No. 1 position by him.

During this time, under the hoarse roar of Stan Van Gundy, Alstom's "show-off" situation slowly disappeared and he became a qualified No. 1 player.

Compared with Wade, he does not have such a strong ability to break through with the ball, but his passing ability and projection ability are much stronger than Wade in this period.

Stan Van Gundy feels that he can completely replace Wade and play pick-and-roll with Woody.

The Heat's next game is against the Detroit Pistons.

Absolutely hard bones!

Even a full-strength Heat team won't have it easy to deal with this team.

But there is such a favorable factor, and this game between the Pistons and the Heat is their second "back-to-back" game.

They have a problem with their fitness!

So even if there is no Wade in this game, in the eyes of the outside world, the Heat will win on the bigger side.

The Pistons are currently fourth in the East.

The arrival of Larry Brown didn't take the team that was the No. 1 team in the East last season any further.

Speaking of which, Pistons management has also been very ridiculed this season.

First of all, Rick Carlisle, who they didn't want, now puts the Pacers in first place in the East; Secondly, if Rick Carlisle is on the team, then they will definitely not hesitate to take Woody with the second pick in the first round!

I can't imagine how beautiful such a picture is!

Larry Brown has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Not only the above two reasons, but also one reason......

Milicic finally made his professional debut in January.

In the Jan. 15 game against the New York Knicks, the Pistons went on an early 19-point run, and in the final 1:45, Larry Brown brought the much-awaited Milicic on the court.

This time it can be said that it was very unexpected, and no one expected that Larry Brown would let him play at this time.

Including Milicic himself.

As a result, Milicic was completely unprepared, and for almost 2 minutes, no data came in.

00000！

This was the end of the first match of his career.

After this game, Larry Brown was ridiculed by the crowd.

After all, he held Milicic back for so long, and as a result, he held back such a thing, how can you say that the outside media can't look at his jokes.

And in the face of these group ridicule, Larry Brown believes that the main reason is because he is soft-hearted!

Knowing that Milicic was a waste and didn't use it at all, he still relented and gave him playing time......

If he doesn't let Milicic play, will he still be ridiculed?

Apparently not!

So, it's not clear who is the problem?

Milicic, you can train me to death, don't think about playing!
