Chapter 126: Wade's two "fathers", the unique Woody.

Joe Dumas found out about it last night.

At that time, his first thought was to give up on Milicic.

No way, compared to Larry Brown's popularity in this league, Milicic is a small deflated three, even if he is in the game with Larry Brown.

But......

With or without Milicic, that's what Larry Brown decides. How to use Milicic is also up to Larry Brown to decide.

Either way, that's not a reason for Milicic to send Larry Brown to hospital.

However, Milicic's agent sent him a recording.

During this one-minute period, Larry Brown made all sorts of insults that violated the moral line, from Milicic as a person, to his country, to every aspect of him. He immediately changed his mind.

It's not that he doesn't know that Larry Brown has such a bad side, but in the '90s, it was commonplace, and any manager has that side. But in an era like this, especially in a league overhauled by David Stern, this is definitely enough to discredit a head coach!

To put it simply, Larry Brown is finished!

At this time, he decisively changed his mind, and he wanted to use this incident to get Larry Brown out of Detroit.

That's where we are.

His speech, as well as Milicic's tearful remarks, also gave the media their own judgment.

The wall fell and everyone pushed ......

For a time, Larry Brown became the target of public criticism.

Various incidents of racist remarks about him were disclosed by the media.

The sound of getting Larry Brown out of the league was also at its peak at this moment.

It is said that Larry Brown in the hospital woke up and was so angry that he immediately fainted again. When he woke up again, he received a unilateral dismissal from the Pistons and fainted again.

In the 24 hours that did not arrive, this cargo fainted 3 times.

The brain almost went straight down.

The fall of life is exciting in the end, let alone his age.

It was the alliance officials who put the coffin on this matter, and they did not punish Milicic for the time being, and also set up a special investigation team.

As a result, no one paid attention to this game between the Pistons and the Heat.

The Heat team without Wade was more anxious when facing the Pistons, but fortunately, the Pistons experienced such a big change, and Rasheed Wallace had just arrived, and the whole team needed to run in, which made the "iron battle" between the two sides, and finally the Heat team had the last laugh.

69 to 66, they narrowly won by 3 points!

With this game, the Heat became the only team in the league to sweep the Pistons this season.

But even after the game, no one had any discussion about the game.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome of Larry Brown's affair.

Of course, this is the voice of the outside world, in fact, Joe Dumas already has internal information.

The league officially recognized the evidence they provided, but the whole thing, the league intends to "soft landing" and give Larry Brown, a veteran coach who has struggled in the NBA for n years, a decent end, and will not announce the punishment for this matter. But......

The Pistons have to find a head coach again!

Joe Dumas is worrying about it.

At present, there are few useful head coaches at home!

But if you just choose a head coach with no qualifications, how can you afford to bring the current Pistons team?

He's ready to slap Larry Brown in the face......

And this team actually has the potential to become the top team in this league, the key is......

How to tune this team!

It's a test of a manager's coaching ability.

Besides, how can this average head coach suppress a thorn like Rasheed Wallace?

It's hard to do, it's hard to do!

In other words, this is also the reason why Joe Dumas has been slow to use the knife.

It's not a good time.

Larry Brown is out of class, and he doesn't have anyone on his hands to think of at once.

But......

This should be considered a blissful annoyance, right?

Without having to work with Larry Brown, Joe Duston had a burst of gloom and worries dissipated a lot.

After beating the Pistons, the Heat continued their schedule.

Then the Heat went through a sweeter period.

First, the strength of the opponent is very weak; Second, in the next five games, they have played three of them at home.

Therefore, the Heat, who missed more than 5 consecutive wins due to the last loss before the All-Star Weekend, successfully won a wave of 6 consecutive wins after the All-Star Weekend.

Stan Van Gundy looked at the Heat, who had only lost one game in the last almost a month, and he was also smiling and praising Woody.

As a head coach, it's great to be able to coach such a rookie!

"Coach, coach, I, I'm fine, I'm really good!" Wade "patted" him at this time, "I have Woody, don't open it", wanting to attract some attention.

Receiving Wade's "text message", Stan Van Gundy also remembered.

Oh, there's another one!

Counting the days, it has indeed been almost half a month.

Wade's muscle strain should indeed be too good to be better.

Sure enough, pleasant times always end so quickly.

So soon, it's time to deal with this somewhat clingy "big cheek gang".

In fact, Wade is quite good, that is, in his absence, Odom can also make up for a lot of his role.

As the No. 1 position, Odom will definitely be blown up by most of the No. 1 position, but the Heat's forward line to the interior line is a full mobile configuration, and it is completely possible to use the defensive formation and the help of teammates to fill Odom's problems in this regard.

On the offensive end, his height, which is completely fine in the No. 4 position, has become a huge boost for him, and a move of "Uncle Back Play" can allow other teams to wrap him up to relieve the defensive pressure of the No. 1 position.

At this time, as long as the opponent dares to wrap up, Odom's hand is a pass, with Caron Butler and Jones on the outside, and Woody on the inside, and the catch is a chance to score.

Stan Van Gundy found that this UCLA positioning system is a bigger bonus for Odom......

Because he has better passing vision than Wade.

But you can't ......

But you can't ......

Put Wade on the bench, right?

Not to mention that Alstom is also very easy to use, the point is that Wade's self-confidence will definitely be affected.

In short, it's very sad!

But everyone has recovered, and Stan Van Gundy can't help but keep Wade on the bench.

In the end, he decided to let Wade return to the No. 1 position and continue to play the "Wood Pick-and-Roll" that he was more familiar with Woody.

After all, these two talents are the future of the Heat!

Odom is not without problems, and if he can get rid of his concentration as time goes by, maybe Stan Van Gundy will let him continue to start.

When Wade heard that Stan Van Gundy still put himself back in the starting position, his tears almost flowed straight out.

The Heat team only lost 1 game during his injury, and many newspapers are saying that this team does not have Wade, in fact, it has no effect. This scared him so much that he had to "say goodbye" to Pat Riley every day, knocking on the side to see if his sense of existence had been reduced, before he dared to fall asleep.

At this moment, he felt Stan Van Gundy's trust in him.

Seriously, he really wants to bang his head on the ground and recognize a "daddy" again!

In his opinion, Pat Riley, who was specially traded for the sixth pick in the first round, deserves his "big daddy", and Stan Van Gundy, who is willing to give him infinite "trust", deserves his "second daddy"!

He will definitely not disappoint these two "dads"!

On March 1, the Heat welcomed their first opponent of March, which was also the first game of Wade's comeback.

At the same time, the league officially announced the major awards for February.

When the "Player of the Month Award" and "Rookie Player of the Month Award" came out in the East, Wade, who was under pressure for the first game of his comeback, felt double the pressure at that time.

The winner of the "February Player of the Month" award in the East is none other than Woody!

In February, there were a total of 12 games, and the Heat's 11-1 record was proud of the entire East, which was a fierce "bottoming out" wave compared to January. Although they are still two wins away from the Nets, this record is not without its grandeur.

In these 12 games, Woody averaged 18.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.

The average points per game hasn't changed much.

But the composition of the score is very different from before.

Among them, the proportion of mid-range jumpers has come to about 30%.

That said, Woody averaged 5.55 points per game from jump shots.

Nearly 1 point more than in January, and almost 2 points more than in November and December!

That dropped Woody's shooting percentage by about 10 percent, and he now only shoots around 52.4 percent from the field. But as he shoots wider, opponents have more defensive effort to expend on him.

The threat on the pitch really doesn't mean that whoever has a high hit rate is a big threat!

Some of the interior players who eat cake are shooting above 60% per game, but they will definitely not let the opposing head coach wait.

Compared to them, a pitcher like Ray Allen, even if he only shoots less than 30% in a game, do you think the opponent dares to let him shoot?

Now it's the same with Woody.

The opponent is no longer afraid to let him shoot directly.

But at certain times, when it's really hard to choose, he will be given a space to shoot. But the space is also limited. I'm sorry if it was on some hot night.

Woody can even take the ball and make a shooting feint to send the opponent flying!

Therefore, looking at the average points per game has not changed, and the shooting percentage has decreased so much, no matter which media person is asked to evaluate Woody's threat on the offensive end now, it is better than some time ago.

"He's taking an increasingly important position on the offensive end of the Heat......

Even ESPN made such an assessment.

You know, in order to praise LeBron, they have always been very stingy with praise for Woody.

It's only on some nights that Woody hits a blast of stats that they get emotional.

Of course, from this point of view, it is normal for ESPN to suddenly change its attitude at this time, because this is Woody's second "Best of the Month" in his rookie season!

In the history of the NBA, there are really few rookies who can win two "Player of the Month awards" in their rookie season.

This is already a phenomenal rookie performance.

Can ESPN not boast?

In addition, Woody once again won the "Rookie of the Month" award.

In the penultimate game before the end of February, the Heat's opponent was none other than LeBron James and the Cavaliers.

Another "blood abuse" that left the Cleveland people with no temper at all.

LeBron James once again liked to mention Woody's "pole and pole" 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, shooting 30% from the field.

Woody's performance in the game was 29 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

It is worth mentioning that this is the data he got in three and a half quarters.

Cleveland lost a modest game by just 30 points......

It was already their worst loss in three games.

Combined, the Cavaliers lost by about 150 points......

It's almost as big as their total points in these three games!

Such a performance naturally made the "Best Rookie Award of the Month in February" no longer suspenseful.

Interestingly, many spinach companies have opened a new "bet" at this time: whether LeBron James can get a "Rookie of the Month" before the end of this season and break Woody's monopoly on this award.

It's not the most interesting.

What's more interesting is that:

The odds given by Spinach Company for "can" are 3 to 1; The odds of giving "can't" are 1.2 to 1.

Obviously, even Spinach doesn't think that LeBron James can win the last "Rookie of the Month"!

There's no way, now that Woody is in this momentum, which rookie in the East can compete with him?

LeBron James's performance is okay, entering January, he has averaged 40 minutes per game, and he is becoming more and more adaptable to the rhythm of the NBA, and his average points per game have also come to more than 20 points, and throughout February, he can average 22 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.

His team has been touting him averaging 20 plus 5 plus 5 per game lately, making him the third rookie in NBA history to do just that.

The two people before him were Big O and Michael Jordan.

Although the stats of these two people are: 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game and 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

Raise the bar a little and you can do without the name of LeBron James.

To say that this team is also painstaking, it is stunned to find such a data record that can be linked to Jordan in a lot of data.

The two words to describe it are:

Cow, force~

But the Miami media is not used to them, and directly exposed their "lies".

listed Jordan's data with the big "O", accusing them of being a hard rub.

"By that standard, Woody is the league's only rookie stat!" The Miami media also followed their logic to praise a wave of Woody.

This data sheet, which averaged 18 points plus 15 rebounds plus 3.5 assists plus 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, and shot around 60% from the field, no player in the NBA had done it before Woody!
