The reporter's aggressiveness made Woody understand a situation, and his current situation is not optimistic.

Don't talk about him, let's just say that Michael Jordan played cards all night, and Vince Carter flew back to his alma mater overnight, which caused a lot of controversy.

While the two of them were in the playoffs, he was in the preseason.

But this time, the opponent is the New York Knicks, who gave the Heat "black eight shame" back then.

The whole of Miami has become more restless because of this game!

Woody delayed the preparation for this game because of his own personal affairs.

If you lose......

The scene can be imagined at that time!

Miami isn't a city with a strong fan vibe.

I'm afraid that the urban boom he just brought up before him will dissipate because of this.

After his rookie season, Woody discovered that the Miami was simply a bunch of "championship fans."

As long as your team is strong, they will be fans!

After living for twenty-eight years, twenty-seven people who don't watch football can buy high-priced tickets and shake like anything on the spot.

As long as the team's performance is not good, if you are embarrassed, before the half is finished, the originally overcrowded audience can immediately go more than half.

Of course, the "die-hard fans" also came from the "champion fans".

The reason why the Lakers are giants and can have so many diehards in Los Angeles is that they win more!

Right now, the Heat are going through this process......

On April 18, the NBA playoffs officially opened.

On the Eastern side, the Pacers vs. Boston Celtics and the Nets vs. Bucks started the game.

On the West side, the Timberwolves, who are first in the West, play the Nuggets, who are eighth in the West, and the Kings, who are fourth in the West, vs the Mavericks, who are fifth in the West.

The results are not too surprising:

The Pacers eased up against the Celtics.

Without Walker, Pierce was "alone" and lost himself in the defensive formation of the Pacers led by Artest, shooting only 5 of 18.

As the core, Pierce is so sluggish, and the result of the game can be imagined.

The Nets' game against the Bucks was a very typical game in which "veterans" taught "rookies".

From the beginning, the Nets used full-court pressing to make the Bucks play very uncomfortable.

The whole rhythm has been contained, and by the time the Bucks reacted, the game time had come to 8 minutes and 14 seconds in the third quarter, and the difference was about 15 points. Jason Kidd commanded the team to a comfortable 102-86 victory over the Bucks to win the first game of the series.

The course of this game has Miami people worried.

They are also afraid that the Heat, who are new to the army this year, will be defeated by the New York Knicks with their rich experience.

And after watching the game between the No. 1 Timberwolves in the West and the No. 8 Nuggets in the West, they have one more thing to worry about:

Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 20 plus 6 per game in the regular season, scored just 15 points in the first game of the series and shot less than 30 percent from the field!

This......

In the 03 generation, Carmelo Anthony's scoring ability is already very stable, and his scoring skills are very mature, even he lost himself in the intensity of the playoffs, and replaced him with Woody, who relied more on teammates' passes, and Wade, who lacked projection ability...... Will the performance on the offensive end be more inconsistent?

They were worried after watching these two games, and the New York fans opened another bottle of champagne after watching the coverage of these two games. Thanks to the fact that this game will start tomorrow, otherwise they would be tired of celebrating in advance.

But what can be done?

That's all good news!

They can only ...... Then the music, the dance!

The first game of the series, played on the home court of the Heat.

Judging by the attendance in the pre-game spectator seats, the Heat fans were enthusiastic about the game.

40 minutes before the start of the game, the audience was full. What they were expecting, it speaks for itself:

They want to see the Heat team today and wash away the shame of the Heat team of the past!

Listen to the boos of the New York Knicks when they entered the court, the bursts of ghost-crying boos can be seen in the hearts of Heat fans, what a humiliating thing it was to be "Black Eight" in 99.

Heat fans who have been humiliated until now still feel unforgettable when they think of these things......

These boos turned into loud cheers at the beginning of the Heat's home team's appearance ceremony.

Listening to these cheers, Stan Van Gundy felt a faint bead of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Don't look at the fans of the Heat team who are so enthusiastic at the moment, but if Woody can't play well tonight, then these cheers will immediately turn into huge boos.

Boos can always be external or internal.

Sometimes, the people who praise the most are often the ones who scold the most...... They believe in only one truth: as long as they can win, they are the strongest!

The Heat also know what kind of urine these Miamians are, and they are even more energetic at the moment, and they are more combative than shouting slogans in the locker room.

Tonight's sidelines were met with an unexpected spectator.

Woody was a little surprised by her appearance. It was the first time they had seen each other since Christmas. I*ka also had his contact information, but didn't message him before coming. But looking at her staring at her, Woody was sure that this girl was coming for him.

Seeing her dressed in a very business suit, it is estimated that she came to Miami to discuss business and take time to watch a ball.

Even, just when there was nothing to do, it suddenly occurred to me that there was such a man in Miami who knew her depth, but she didn't know his strengths and weaknesses, so she made a temporary move.

Well......

Definitely!

Woody gave her a brief nod and immediately threw himself into the warm-up.

Seeing him so serious, I*ka secretly said in his heart: This game is really important, I didn't bother him, it should be a plus, right?

Although she didn't come to Miami to watch Woody play, but as soon as she knew that she had a Miami itinerary, I*ka immediately looked at the Heat team's schedule that day and determined that it was the day of the first game of the Heat series.

She felt that her behavior was very "warm girl", and Woody could definitely associate it with her when she suddenly appeared......

This score is not "poof" up!

I*ka was happy with her last contact with Woody, and she was looking forward to meeting Woody again and making a lasting impression on him. At the moment, it should be half the battle.

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides:

"Heat: No. 1 Wade, No. 2 Jones, No. 3 Caron Butler, No. 4 Woody, No. 5 Grant;"

After Wade's return some time ago, Caron Butler briefly returned to the bench, but later, Stan Van Gundy discovered that what the team needed more than the height of the interior was space on the offensive end.

So he made a bold change at Spoelstra's suggestion, putting Odom on the bench and Caron Butler in the number three position.

After such an adjustment, the level of the entire Heat team on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has obviously returned to when Wade was injured.

Pat Riley also noticed this situation and became more determined in a certain decision in his heart.

The starting lineup for the New York Knicks is:

No. 1 Marbury, No. 2 Alan Houston, No. 3 Shanton Anderson, No. 4 Van Horn, No. 5 Mutombo.

When the figures of these five people appeared on the big screen at the scene, a huge burst of boos immediately broke out at the scene.

Woody sat on the bench and re-laced his shoes. This appearance fell in the eyes of some female fans of the Heat, which is called an eye-catching and delicious.

Giegie I can!

Almost sorted out, Woody opened the system and looked at it again.

Yesterday Anthony hit the "playoff wall", and the system immediately released a new mission:

What is the "best rookie"!

The mission required Woody to play the same level as the regular season.

If you can complete it, you will receive 10,000 achievement points.

Previously, Woody completed the task of "Best Rookie" and got 20,000 achievement points, plus 30,000 achievement points from the task of "King of Rebounds", plus some miscellaneous achievement points in his hand, for a total of about 63,000 achievement points.

You must know that he got a total of 100,000 achievement points in the first half of the season, but after the template is upgraded, plus the season settlement, it is only 63,000 achievement points.

The speed at which achievement points are earned is noticeably taken again.

This task must be won!

Thinking of this, Woody's eyes flashed a little hot.

Now he is blessed with several layers of buffs that must win, and the heart that wants to win can't stop at all.

Stan Van Gundy once again called everyone in front of him before the start of the game to cheer them on. In the past two days, he has been arranging for veterans to play training games with Woody and Wade with playoff intensity, and the effect is not bad, and the two of them adapt quickly. But after all, this is only an intra-team training match, and now is the time to really do it. However, he suppressed these worries in his heart, did not say much, but showed enough trust: "I believe that you will win this game very simply and get this series off to a good start!" ”

He also reminded Woody and Wade: "The NBA rookie scored 36 points in his playoff debut!" Created by 'Skyhook' Jabbar......"

The small eyes are full of "The words have come to this, you know, I am optimistic about you"!

Finally, in the "wave" of the whole field, the game time has officially arrived.

Woody turned his head to look at the audience, and in the sudden louder cheers, there was a cry that he was familiar with.

Looking at the voice, it was I*ka.

Jumping with Woody is the "African Mountain" Mutombo, who is 2.18 meters tall, 12cm taller than Woody.

Even if he doesn't know 30 and dozens anymore, just this height, as well as the arm span brought by his height, made him easily jump for the New York Knicks.

Marbury held the ball to the frontcourt, faced Wade, and held the ball very simply, trying to use the rhythm to draw the distance between him and Wade, so as to find the angle of the breakthrough.

Wade has had enough growth this season.

Marbury is also considered a "little quick", but he still failed to break through, and there is always a cheek in front of him.

Mutombo hurried up to make a pick-and-roll, and he has worked with Allen Iverson and knows how to create opportunities for such guards to get to the basket. With his help, Marbury managed to get to the basket and threw a small throw.

However, he doesn't have the perverted waist and abdomen strength of Aaron Iverson, and he can't play with his perverted lever.

Woody saw all his moves, slapped him directly, and fanned the ball away!

In the first round of his playoff debut, Woody took out his trademark "block" and made the scene boil and ...... All the while.

Because......

What an experience it is to be in front of Mutombo and shake your finger at his teammates!

Woody has made all Heat fans go through something like this.

Woody, who won the block, raised his right hand in celebration and was an "aphrodisiac" for the cheers at the scene.

Can't stop at all.

Stan Van Gundy saw the atmosphere and asked Wade and Jones to press the defense from the moment they served.

Van Horne, who served on the Knicks' side, saw the situation, hesitated for several seconds, and almost violated the serve, Anderson hurriedly ran to catch the ball, and then re-gave the ball to Marbury after the Heat's defensive intensity returned to normal.

This round, Marbury didn't single-handedly pick up the entire Heat defense, but paid attention to Allen Houston's position and gave the ball to the latter as soon as he was free.

As a "mid-range shooting textbook", Houston, who got the ball, took a step with the ball, jumped up immediately, the whole movement was natural and smooth, Jones was not out of position, but in Allen Houston's rhythm, his interference did not have any effect.

"Huh!"

A beautiful shot, in exchange, is a crisp sound of falling into the net.

2-0！

It was the Heat's turn to attack.

The New York Knicks changed the target of the defense Wade from the beginning, and Anderson at the No. 3 position defended Wade.

Woody stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Wade cooperated with him very skillfully, but as soon as he walked around, he saw that Mutombo was already waiting with his hands raised.

Is this the playoff-level speed?

Wade continued to walk inside with the ball, but Mutombo was very steady in front of him, leaving him a little unsure of where to go.

The problem of vision was exposed in the face of an old and spicy assistant defender like Mutombo.

He "braked" in time, turned his head to find his teammates outside the three-point line, and when he saw Caron Butler, the ball in his hand was also passed, but this passing action was too obvious, Marbury didn't know where to jump out, and the ball was directly intercepted, and the dribble was a fast break.

His speed is very fast, like a group of "lone wolves" running on the endless prairie.

Looking up, it's already under the Heat's basket.

And then......

He met the "lion" who came to him!

"Smack!"

With a heavy cannon, the Heat No. 95 contributed a "bloody chasing hat".

Marbury stood under the basket with a fuck-up face:

It's this kid again!
