Chapter 137: In the Name of Straws
When he said this, Wade's face was full of sincerity.
This made Stan Van Gundy feel a little guilty.
Because before Wade said this, he was still thinking about how to trick Wade and make him obediently listen to his words and do what he wanted him to do.
I didn't expect it......
Wade is more responsible for this team and the whole team than he thought!
"Man, it's a blessing for anyone to be teammates with you! Because you know what a team is! Stan Van Gundy patted Wade on the shoulder, looked at the satisfaction on his face, and then said, "Man, after you said that, it did give me a really great inspiration, I think, you can lead the second team, your ability to carry the ball, you can definitely shine in the second team!" ”
Is this going to put me on the bench?
Wade was determined.
So all the outcomes are expected.
Including going to the bench.
It was only at this moment that his heart trembled violently when he heard Stan Van Gundy say that.
Do you really want to go to the bench?
It's definitely not easy to make up your mind.
Especially for him who has just entered the league and has become the core of the team.
He knew very well that once the team did win when he came to the bench, his future was bleak......
His career has only just begun, and he is ready to sacrifice, but for the sake of his future, he must think hard.
Stan Van Gundy also seemed to sense that he was shaken, and immediately opened his mouth to reassure: "Trust me man, this is just the arrangement of this round of the series, I know your ability very well, so I made such an adjustment!" ”
This is not pure foolishness!
With Wade on the bench, Stan Van Gundy is primarily trying to pick up Odom in the No. 1 spot.
But is Odom really better than Wade?
Is it more promising?
The answer is definitely no!
Wade definitely has a brighter future than Odom, but now Odom's height advantage can give Jason Kidd more difficulties.
Moreover, after putting Wade on the bench, the No. 3 position can be placed on Caron Butler, a pitcher with good shooting ability, and cooperate with Jones to open up the entire defense.
This ability is also something that Wade does not have now!
In addition, Stan Van Gundy didn't lie, put Wade in the starting lineup, his breakthrough does not pose much of a threat to a defender like Kidd, but if it is in the bench lineup, it is definitely a "magic weapon"!
Looking at the sincerity on Stan Van Gundy's face, Wade wanted him to say "Ameriken people don't lie to Ameriken people"!
But think about the situation he just had, and think about the fact that many media outlets are now saying that he has dragged down Woody and dragged down the entire Heat team. - In fact, that's why he came and said these things to Stan Van Gundy.
If the team loses entirely because of him, it's something he can't accept!
Another point is that if the team loses because of Woody entirely, then he will feel bad in his heart. He will take the initiative to communicate with Woody and work together to find a way to make Woody play more comfortable.
However, Woody didn't give him such a chance!
"You're our MVP!"
Thinking about Woody's evaluation of himself, Wade feels that MVP must have the consciousness of MVP!
For the sake of the team......
"I'll do it!"
When Wade was silent, Stan Van Gundy was about to say something, but he didn't expect Wade to suddenly speak in a resolute tone. Stan Van Gundy hurriedly sent his "rainbow fart": "Dwyan, I have no doubt about your future achievements, because in you I see the qualities of being great!" I thank all the players for your sacrifice! ”
The only fly in the ointment is that two lines of tears were not shed.
Fortunately, Wade doesn't care about these little things!
The two men agreed that Stan Van Gundy would announce it before the afternoon training began.
When he heard that Wade took the initiative to ask for help and enter the bench so that the starting lineup could be more reasonable, Woody turned his head and glanced at him in surprise.
He really didn't expect Wade to make such a sacrifice.
No way, as far as what he experienced in his high school career, everyone is racking their brains for their starting position and ball possession, and even shouting "brother" behind their butts every day.
Of course, this is normal, players with a bit of ability and temper are all striving for the goal of becoming the core of the team.
That's why the sacrifice is so great......
Woody patted him on the shoulder, and it was all in plain sight, my brother's name is "Wade"!
"Replacing Dwyann in the starting line-up was ...... Cuarón! Stan Van Gundy announced the results of the adjustment after the riots.
Caron Butler's eyes widened when he heard that he was back in the starting lineup, he really didn't expect that he would be able to return to the starting lineup this season......
It's just at a time like this!
He's under a lot of pressure!
So much so that before the start of the third game of the series, he put a straw in his mouth and chewed desperately.
That look is somewhat indecent.
Woody watched him chew for more than half an hour, and finally couldn't help it: "Dude...... Let's get a new one! ”
As he spoke, he took out a bag of unopened straws and handed it to him.
"That should be enough for you to chew on Game 6 of the series, right?"
Caron Butler listened to Woody's joking words, but he smiled, and the whole person was ......
Got a new straw!
Well......
Although Woody's joke made him feel relieved for a moment, it soon became a huge sense of unease and nervousness.
The big score was 0-2 behind, and the third game was at home in New Jersey, Wade took the initiative to give up the starting position and let him enter the starting lineup, all so that this team could play in a better state and complete the "counterattack".
He is that "vital pawn"!
All his teammates believed in him and he didn't want to disappoint his teammates.
How does this make him not nervous?
All he can do now is chew desperately and chew all the stress with his habits!
Tonight's New Jersey arena is lively.
The stadium has more than 17,000 seats and is filled with fans.
The Nets won 2 consecutive away games in a row, which they didn't expect, after all, the Heat were the strongest team in the first round.
I thought this was a hard battle, but I didn't expect it to break when I touched it!
The gang on the other side of the lake just can't do it!
Let us, the countrymen you thought we were, avenge you!
I can win both away games, and now I am back at home, and it is not a hand-holding!
Nets fans are unusually confident, and the players of the entire Nets team are also at ease, with a sense of urgency compared to the first two games.
Obviously, in their opinion, the Heat are already at the end of their power!
The main thing is that the first two games are accounted for, and it is too easy to win......
So even if the Heat changed lineup in this game, the Nets didn't pay much attention to it.
Even they could guess that the Heat would make a lineup change.
Just kidding, what did the first two games look like?
If this does not change the formation, will it be difficult to wait for death like this?
So......
Let's change!
Let's change!
When this game is over, you'll be dead!
The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides.
The Nets didn't have any lineup changes, still No. 1 Jason Kidd, No. 2 Corey Kidders, No. 3 Jefferson, No. 4 Kenyon Martin, No. 5 Jason Collins;
On the Heat side: Odom at No. 1, Jones at No. 2, Caron Butler at No. 3, Woody at No. 4, Grant at No. 5;
In the jump ball session, Woody faced Collins.
Nets fans have to admit that at this moment, they are a little bit nervous.
But at the end of the jump ball, seeing the ball from Collins' hand to Jason Kidd's hand, they thought the game was over.
In some games, it looks like the jump ball has just been completed, but in fact, there are already results!
As far as the Nets are concerned, they have to complete the "first voice"!
There's really nothing wrong with their feelings.
Jason Kidd faced Odom and used his speed advantage to throw Odom behind him in two big steps.
Jefferson, who had flanked in the frame, found him and gave the ball to him.
Among the many "beasts" in the third position of the alliance, there must be Jefferson's name.
One-handed split!
"Phew!"
Straight to the tip of the hearts of Nets fans.
It's really stable now!
2-0!
With this opening momentum, I'm afraid that I will suppress the Heat team in one fell swoop, right?
At this point, Nets fans thought of it with their head coach Byron Scott.
Scott's thoughts tonight are also to let the opposite side see how strong their aura is from the beginning!
So the ball was scored, and the Nets directly adopted a tight defense in the frontcourt.
Odom couldn't catch the ball, and the old Jones could only "talk about the old man's boyhood" and get back to the ball-holding account when he was young.
Bryant averaged 27.6 points per game in the first round of the series, knocking out the entire Rockets from the outside.
The excellent ability to break through the ball allowed everyone to see the strength of this "Peter Pan" who began to enter his prime.
But......
Do you know who he learned from in the first place?
That's me, Jones!
Holding the ball to the frontcourt, a sudden continuous cross-step startled the opposite Kidders, the whole person stuck the racket, and by the time he reacted, Jones had already run him over to the inside.
But Jones is also getting old.
At this time of confrontation, he took the initiative to initiate it, but when the confrontation came, he stumbled.
This person, it's really not good to be dissatisfied!
That's why Jones is gradually losing the ball now.
Fortunately, his goal was also achieved, he was only two or three positions away from Woody, and a through ball was given to Woody. In the face of Kenyon Martin, he took the ball and rushed directly to the basket, and successfully scored the ball in the confrontation.
Kenyan Martin, the "beast", focuses on a "If you dare to bully me, I will let you bully"!
Seriously, he really didn't have to pick in terms of attitude, but because he pursued speed too much, he didn't have an advantage in all aspects of weight, so it was difficult to gain the upper hand in the confrontation.
This time, in the face of Woody's tonnage of less than 100kg, he was also unable to form a suppression, allowing Woody to complete the basket under the basket.
After upgrading the template of Barkley, although Woody's basket ability has not been strengthened much, because most of the offense on the court comes from the end of the basket, there is no need for him to practice deliberately, the game is the best improvement, and now his offensive ability under the basket has come to 82 points!
With Kenyon Martin unable to shake his figure, he easily completed the response.
"Bag clip, bag clip, must bag clip!"
The Nets head coach emphasized the wing's help with Woody.
There's nothing set up for the offensive end.
Because he believes in Kidd's abilities!
And Kidd also proved that he can also be at ease in the face of Odom, a shooting feint, deceived Odom to step forward, quickly broke through, and the feint shook Woody did not dare to go up before and after, and he hit a layup.
4-2!
His goal made the scene cheer.
Stan Van Gundy yells at Odom.
It's really worth scolding!
I was actually deceived by Kidd's shooting feints.
As far as Kidd ......
What shots can he have?
Odom was also fooled only to find out that he had been deceived by Kidd's shooting feints.
What a shame!
No, you must return this sense of humiliation.
Facing Jason Kidd who was still pressing in the backcourt, this time he did not escape, but rose to the challenge, took the ball in his hand, and pressed Kidd all the way forward.
Kidd originally wanted to take two more shots to show his tough attitude.
But when he felt that Odom was holding an attitude of "blood flowing", he was "opening the way" with his back to him, no longer wasting his strength, and retreated.
In the frontcourt, Odom was even stronger, just dribbling directly to the basket to kill.
When Kidd saw this situation, his temper also came up, and he really thought that his buddy was afraid of you.
"Phew!"
Odom's weight in the fourth position is actually not heavy, only 104kg!
But this is the weight of the No. 4 position, but in the No. 1 position, even against Kidd, who is considered a "tall defender" in the No. 1 position, his weight can also play the role of a "bulldozer".
Jason Kidd is only 1m 93,93kg!
That's 11kg off!
Odom tried it and found that he could push Kidd, and he didn't hesitate at all, he was tougher, and just pushed him all the way to the basket.
"Quick bag clip, fast bag clip!"
The rush from the sidelines fell into the ears of the Nets players, as well as Odom's, who had been watching the rest of the Nets and passing the ball towards Woody when Kenyon Martin couldn't help but come up.
The Nets showed their ability to switch defense.
Jefferson, who was on the wing, immediately posted it as soon as Woody got the ball.
And at this time, Woody didn't delay for a second, giving the ball to Caron Butler, who was supposed to be defending Jefferson on the wing.
At this point he was completely emptied......
In the name of straws!
Caron Butler simply adjusted, jumped up and shot straight at the three-pointer.
The ball fell into the net......
5-4!
