Chapter 177: Wade Grows Up, Ends in November

9 wins and 1 loss!

This is the final report card of the first ten games of the new season for the Heat.

It's not something that can be described in horror anymore.

Before the start of the season, they were the team that many media had been thinking were tough.

But they forcibly used their hard power to forge a path.

At the moment, even the Spurs have lost Game 2 of the season, while they still maintain a 1-defeat record.

Even against many favourites in the new season, they were able to bite the victory.

"There's no way any team can be ahead of the Heat this season, at least so far." Bill Wharton summed up the game, and in his opinion, the Rockets' loss is precisely the best embodiment of the Heat's hard power.

After the game, Stan Van Gundy reaffirmed Wade's performance in this game: "He was in big trouble, but he withstood the trouble and held on well to the end, whether he scored 6 or 5 points in the fourth quarter, I'm not very sure, but it doesn't matter, I want to say that Wade's value in this game is not reflected in his statistics!" He dragged Tracy McGrady down! ”

It wasn't until this moment that Wade finally realized what he had contributed.

Come to think of it, yes!

Maddie grabbed me and pounded me all over the room.

Although the process is a bit embarrassing, it ......

You just say I didn't win in the end!

You just say that the last two breakthroughs of buddy are not handsome, right?

Tracy McGrady?

Scold~

Top scorer?

Scold~

In the end, didn't you let Lao Tzu give a single defense?

At this moment, Wade's self-confidence was greatly improved.

In his mind, Maddie is definitely a T1-level player in the current No. 2 position in the league, and such elites have been consumed by him, and the world is ......

Is there a character he Wade can't touch?

At least it's a "five-five-open"!

Self-confidence is the key to a good performance for an NBA player.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Wade.

In recent times, Wade's stats have not been very impressive because opponents have very good outside defensive configurations, or because they have top scorers like Maddy.

So far, Wade has averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 0.75 blocks per game, shooting 40% from the field, 23.4% from three-point range, and 74.5% from the free throw line! In terms of efficiency, it is not as good as last season.

But after this game "once enlightened", Wade's performance on the court, as can be seen from his data, has changed significantly.

On November 20, we played away to Seattle.

This season, a "Kombat whirlwind" has swept the league in the West:

Phoenix Suns!

And under this team, there is actually a "dark horse" team in the west this season:

Seattle SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics, who have the backcourt duo of Ray Allen and Lewis, have a similar style to the Suns, pulling up the speed of the game and fighting for three-pointers is their core tactic.

This season, Ray Allen averaged 24 points per game and can make 2.7 three-pointers in a game.

Lewis averages 20 points per game and can make 2.4 three-pointers per game.

Combined, the two men have made twice as many three-pointers as the Heat combined.

In the entire starting lineup of the Heat, Alston is the only player who uses three-pointers as his main scoring method, averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game, and others, such as Woody and Shaq O'Neal, are not throwing three-pointers at all.

It's a pole-to-pole confrontation.

The Heat easily used the impact to run the SuperSonics across.

Even if Ray Allen and Lewis shoot well tonight, they can't stand the impact of the Heat's physical macho on the SuperSonics' interior.

In the end, Woody scored 25 points in the game, Gerald Wallace scored 15 points, and Wade scored almost a season-high 23 points......

As for Shaq O'Neal, Stan Van Gundy let him off the court after the first quarter of the game.

The SuperSonics have been pulling the pace, and Alston is not the No. 1 position that is good at controlling the team's tempo, so in one game like this, Shaq's consumption is estimated to be about the same as the usual two.

It's just a regular season game, and even if they lose, the Heat are still number one, and for the long-term playoffs, Stan Van Gundy didn't hesitate at all, and just let Shaq O'Neal sit on the court and rest.

This break didn't matter, and with Haslem, the Heat began a stormy ball-handling assault on the SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics' offensive style is the same as that of the Suns, but the difference is that they are actually the same as the Heat, lacking a player like Steve Nash to sit on the team, which leads to their shooting relying heavily on interior pick-ups.

They are outplaying each other by 3 rebounds per game.

That's almost 6 more shots per game!

From this data, it can actually be seen that the supersonic team is the lifeblood of the offensive system.

And when the Heat's group of physical macho men firmly controlled the rebounds on both offensive and defensive ends, the SuperSonics were not only confused on the inside, but also less resolute on the outside.

In the end, after the scorching first quarter of the game, the Heat defeated the SuperSonics who are currently third in the West by 19 points.

If Wade's play in this game has not attracted the attention of the media, then in the next game against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 22, he scored 21 points in a single game.

So far in the new season, he has scored more than 20 points in two consecutive games.

Some media outlets took note of Wade's play in both games. Wade himself was even more convinced that he was right after playing such a performance:

Since he was so successful even with Maddie, there was nothing else in this alliance to fear!

On November 24, the opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers, who entered the rebuild, and Woody was in rare foul trouble in this game, receiving two fouls early in the opening game, and then less than 2 minutes into the second quarter, he ate his third foul in the half, and the first half ended up playing less than 5 minutes.

Coupled with the fact that Shaq O'Neal felt "unwell" in advance for the upcoming second round of "back-to-back", the first half of this team was completely supported by Wade and, of course, Gerard Wallace.

Wallace scored 11 points in the first half, which is almost a score he usually has in a full game.

But the most eye-catching must be Wade, 15 points in the half, not to mention the highest of the two teams, but also got 5 rebounds and 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, in the first half of this game, there is really no problem with saying "good offense and defense".

The game then entered the second half, and as Woody adjusted his condition and got rid of the foul trouble, the Trail Blazers couldn't resist it, and the point difference also opened up at this time. At 3:34 in the fourth quarter, Woody scored 8 points in a row to seal the win.

When the final whistle blew, the Heat defeated the Trail Blazers by 101-86, a 15-point difference, and unknowingly began the "winning streak" again.

Wade scored a season-high 26 points, as well as eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and three blocks.

It was also after this game that the media could no longer suppress the discussion about Wade.

"Finally waiting for you, Dwyane Wade one step further!" 》

"Three consecutive games of 20 plus, this man has broken through his limits! 》

"03 The representative of the Golden Generation can't live without this name, Dwyane Wade, if you are unfamiliar with this name, then you should really check out his recent games! 》

……

All sorts of praise flew like snowflakes to Miami.

In fact, the Miami media have been waiting for this day for a long time.

They all believe that Wade's ceiling should not be just the same level as before, including Stan Van Gundy's several voices, which are also maintaining Dwyane Wade's self-confidence, so that he can break through his shackles and reach another stage.

Now, that day has finally arrived!

When Dwyan-Wade talked about his recent changes, his tone was unconsciously a little more domineering:

"My teammates have helped me a lot, and I believe that I can be a better version of myself, and now that I have done it, I still believe that even now I am not the best me! I can continue to grow! ”

03 Golden Generation, Must Have My Name!

At this moment, the honest and honest Wade Middle Two has reached the extreme!

With Woody and Shaq O'Neal, the Heat were already the most ferocious team in the league, and they only lost a game against the damn Allen Iverson because of a "back-to-back".

Now as Wade grows, there is no way to stop them from going "back to back". By the end of November, all 16 games had been played, and the Heat had a terrifying 15-1 opening record.

That record broke the Heat's best first month of the season.

Even ESPN couldn't pretend to be invisible, and directly typed two words:

Invincibility!

They still support LeBron James, after all, when LeBron James was just famous, they were the first media to keep up with the promotional resources, and if you count carefully, they have been invisibly invested for three or four years.

Can it be said that if you don't invest, you won't invest?

And "Sports Illustrated" has already blown Woody into the sky, and suddenly blowing Woody at this time proves that their experts are not as good as the experts of "Sports Illustrated"?

Anyway, until Woody won his first championship, they certainly couldn't have done that.

Winning first doesn't mean winning!

Even now that the Cavaliers are 5-10 in their first month and in 11th place in the East, they believe in LeBron James' growth.

After all, judging by the data, LeBron James is the sophomore who is growing the fastest. Well...... They also follow this propaganda path to brag about LeBron James. ‘

There is no way, there is really no other aspect that can overwhelm Woody.

However, even so, as far as the performance of the Heat team in the first month, as the leading media in the sports industry, they are too much not to exaggerate, and even they feel that it is too much.

So the picture has to be given!

However, since you praised the Heat, let's praise Woody!

As a favorite statistic publisher, they listed some of Woody's stats so far in the new season, which they usually don't pay attention to, and they were shocked by one example:

So far in the new season, Woody has played an average of 37.45 minutes per game in 16 games, averaging 24.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2 blocks and 1.75 steals per game, shooting 55.5% from the field and 78.5% from the free throw line!

He ranks 7th in the league in points per game, 2nd in rebounds per game, 14th in assists per game, 9th in blocks per game, and 7th in steals per game.

He is the only player in the NBA to rank in the top 15 in the league in all five categories.

There is no doubt that this data is very scary!

Then in 16 games, Woody got 2 doubles in a total of 14 games, and only two did not get 2 doubles, one of which was because he was in foul trouble, that is, the game against the Trail Blazers, except for this game, Woody only had 1 game without 2 doubles.

That's a statistic that even the Suns' Steve Nash can't match.

Nash is averaging 15.5 points and 11.5 assists per game this season, the only player in the league to average double-doubles in assists per game so far this year.

Even he has not scored 2 doubles in 4 games, which shows Woody's horror.

And then the number of times he has won the "Player of the Week" so far, Woody is also ranked first, and Steve Nash is 2 times!

First, first, first, or special first!

As the media that best tailors data for players, ESPN actually likes to be such players. - Like why do they like LeBron James? Isn't it visible to the naked eye?

They like what is visible to the naked eye.

Even if this person's entire momentum is steady so far, Woody has been overpowered.

But after sorting out Woody's set of data, they suddenly found that it seemed to be ......

Woody seems to have an appetite for them even more!

Looking at his data, there is no need to be customized, and many of them are the "only" of this alliance.

Could it be that this "emperor" is the real chosen one?

At this moment, many ESPN experts are a little hesitant.

On December 1, when ESPN's boasting of the Heat and Woody had not yet completely ended, the league officially gave the "East and West Player of the Month Award" in the first month of the new NBA season.

The West naturally belongs to Steve Nash, who led the team to blow the "Kombat whirlwind".

Whether it is individual performance or team performance, it is something that no one expected.

There is no player in the entire West who can match him.

Even in terms of impact, even Woody is slightly inferior.

Didn't you see that the NBA officials have ranked him at the top of the NBA list?

Phoenix media even announced in a high-profile manner: "The discussion of this season's regular season MVP is over!" ”

And the "Player of the Month Award" on the eastern side is none other than ......

Heat's Team Dee!
