Shaq O'Neal appeared on the stage, eager to try.

Probably since he came to the Heat, he has never wanted to express himself like he does now.

The reason is that I met a stupid referee tonight.

For the sake of his wallet, he naturally can't do anything to the referee, so it's up to Cleveland to bear the wrath from "Shark"!

Woody also saw that Shaq wanted revenge and opened up space under the basket for him in time.

Teammates have always achieved each other.

What is it if you let others sacrifice for you?

In the end, even honest people will turn against you and tear down all kinds of tables.

Woody didn't want his teammates to feel aggrieved because of self-sacrifice more than ten years later, and they were crazy about wearing "little shoes" for him.

Shaq's eyes weren't really that big.

Alston also got the ball into the hands of Shaq O'Neal just in time.

In the face of Big Z, a turning "feint" successfully deceived the center of gravity of Big Z behind him, and "Shark" easily completed the split.

"Phew!"

A heavy buckle is a little more powerful than usual.

A look of anger appeared on Shaq O'Neal's face.

It's cool!

Sure enough, revenge has to be done by yourself, it's really cool.

This goal is the beginning, and Shaq O'Neal continues to use "Shark Power" for the rest of the day. Originally, when he was resting off the court, Woody had already led the team to a almost double-digit point difference, and now Shaq continues to increase offensive firepower, and the Cavaliers can't play.

By the end of the first half, the Cavaliers had trailed by 20 points.

The game has entered "garbage time".

As soon as the third quarter came up, coupled with Woody's outside ball, the Cavaliers were completely unable to play, and with more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the head coach removed all the main players and disarmed them early.

Don't fight!

The fans in the audience also began to leave the stadium in large numbers at this time, and it was difficult to hide their disappointment in their eyes.

It is worth mentioning that this time the main team was replaced, and the head coach was replaced along with LeBron James.

After last season's game, he could see that Stan Van Gundy was just staring at LeBron, and if LeBron James didn't get off the court, then he thought the Cavaliers didn't wave the "white flag".

In order not to let the opponent complete another three or forty points of slaughter in this game, he chose to replace it with LeBron James.

In the end, the game was over, and the Heat won 108-78 at the Cavaliers' home court, completing a 30-point victory.

Woody played 28 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, got 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and shot 65% from the field!

He played very easily tonight, whether it was against Gooden or the Cavaliers' small forward Newbell, he was able to calmly rush inside and complete the score. The completion of these two people could not affect him in the slightest.

Shaq O'Neal ended up playing 18 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, and he didn't play much in the first quarter after being fouled, but he scored 12 points in the second quarter alone, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

Even the free throws were so accurate, which shows how focused Shaq Obier's entire attention was in the second quarter of this game.

At the end of the game, he got a total of 15 points and 5 rebounds, and his shooting rate was as high as 75%!

Wade played 32 minutes and 14 seconds in this game, after all the main players left the court, he played as the core of the bench rotation lineup, played a little longer, and his state can be said to be more excited throughout the night, since the separation of LeBron James, he has been very active in looking for the next "prey", and his state in this game is also continuing to rise, 23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

The highest scorer for both teams tonight.

On the Cavaliers' side, LeBron James quickly scored 8 points during that time with the absence of Shaq and Woody, but except for that time, his overall performance was average, and the final stats were only 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, plus 4 turnovers.

Of course, this has always had to do with the fact that he only played 28 minutes and 13 seconds, and if he played 40 minutes in this game, I believe his statistics would not be bad.

Sitting at the press conference after the game, he looked dazed, and the reporters in the audience asked:

"LeBron, are you surprised or frustrated by the playing time [of 29 minutes]?"

This is actually asking LeBron why the team didn't keep going.

LeBron shook his head slightly: "It's not something I can control, it's a manager's control of the situation, I can't say anything about it, you know, I always want to stay on the field, especially when I have the opportunity to do something for the game, I look forward to that kind of time, but it's the operation of a team, it involves all aspects, I have to do it!" ”

"Do you think you can play better in this game? If it continues. ”

'It's a choice to go down at that point, but it's not always like that, or to make that choice in a situation like this, I mean, at least for me, that's the case, in terms of my playing time in this game, my performance, it's actually efficient, there's always some data to back up what I'm saying, even if I don't see it now, some more comprehensive data, it's going to prove everything, I played really well in that situation, in fact, against a Shaq, there's Wade, Of course, with Woody's team, they've done a good job this year, very well, and all I can do is try to play well. ”

The day after LeBron James' interview, ESPN announced a more authoritative series of "high-level data", including a statistic called "win-loss value".

They also used the Cavaliers' game against the Heat as an example to illustrate that LeBron was indeed the player who had the most impact on the Cavaliers' win or defeat that night.

LeBron James excitedly mentioned it in an interview the next day.

Since then, there has been a basis for "greatness".

Everyone can see how exaggerated his influence on the game really is!

But just when he was proud in his heart, the reporter said to him: "I don't know if you noticed, LeBron, Woody has a win-loss value of +18 in this game!" That means when he's on the floor, the Heat have outscored you by 18 points! ”

And LeBron James's stats in this game, although the best among the Cavaliers' starters, are only "-17".

This time, LeBron James couldn't laugh at all.

That night, he announced the dismissal of his team of agents: the Goodman brothers.

An agent named Rich Paul was hired.

It is said that this is his brother for many years, and he is very familiar with his brother, and his brother also has a very deep understanding of his future plans.

This matter didn't cause much of a stir, the agent is so weak in the NBA, and if you say it's fried, it's for you.

Even an agent with some fame and qualifications like Goodman can't escape such a fate.

Besides, the Goodman brothers are not very famous in the circle, and when this happens, the majority of people feel very happy.

Meanwhile, the Heat continue their road trip and will face a powerhouse next.

It was none other than the Detroit Pistons, who knocked them out of the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

This game can be said to have directly filled the attention of the outside world.

It is worth mentioning that this game is also a "national live broadcast", the focus of the spotlight.

The night he arrived in Detroit, Ben Wallace called Woody.

Although I haven't seen each other for a long time this time, the friendship between the two has not been affected. Ben Wallace has also been texting Woody from time to time lately.

'We talk a lot, he's made amazing progress in the summer and has shown it completely this season, that's a good enough player and he's going to be a great guy for sure!'

In front of the camera, Ben Wallace was also full of praise for Woody.

The reporter asked another question with a "hook": "Then do you think this year's Eastern Conference Finals will be the Heat vs. the Pacers?" ”

Ben Wallace said: "Of course, there is no doubt about it! ”

"But don't forget, the Pacers just beat you by almost 15 points on this court some time ago!" The journalist retorted.

Ben Wallace said: "It's just the regular season, everybody knows that there are 82 games in the regular season and we lost one of them, but that doesn't mean much! ”

The words are full of disdain for the Pacers.

He couldn't look down on the Pacers since Artest snatched his "Defensive Player of the Season" award at the end of last season.

So even if they lost a regular season game, in Ben Wallace's mind, they are still the same players they eliminated from the playoffs last season.

Such a small role......

For such remarks, even if the next game with the Pistons is still early, Artest still couldn't help but respond: "Wait and see, if we can win the first time, we can win the second time, don't always talk about last season, if you always think about the past, it means that there is no future!" ”

The episode stole some attention, but as the game time came, attention was put back on the pitch.

The momentum of the Heat this season is in front of you, whether such a team has really transformed into a championship-level team, in fact, it still needs to go through many layers of tests, but the current league, there are not many teams that can still put pressure on this team, and the Pistons happen to be one of them.

Everyone wants to see what the Heat are capable of playing hard.

It's the same for the defending champion Pistons, who need to beat the likes of the Heat to prove they're still strong.

Losing to the Pacers, although Ben Wallace didn't take it to heart, there are already media outlets that think this season will belong to the Pacers.

Sometimes the NBA is a game of arguments.

Whoever wins, then they can enjoy the scenery for a while.

Why else does Zhang Wei keep singing "I won 5 yuan today"!

If you win, that's the master!

The Pistons haven't made any major changes this summer, and they are still a team with the "Civilian Five" as the core.

Oku's departure is a weakening of the team's interior defense, but last season's star Milicic has experienced the "whipping of love" from the "champion coach" Tomjanovic after the ups and downs of his life, and finally realized part of his potential, so far this season, he has gradually played off the bench with peace of mind, averaging 21.45 minutes per game, and can get 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Although it does not reach the level of the "03 Golden Generation" list, at least you can't say that he is a complete "parallel import" with this data.

At best, it's a bit of "little water".

But for the current Pistons, it's a very useful bench rotation.

Anyway, it was more than enough to replace Oku, who left.

If you really want to talk about it this season, they actually belong to the overall strength that has increased to a certain extent.

The loss to the Pacers was mainly due to Hamilton's somewhat abnormal performance, but as long as he could score one or two more goals, at some critical junctures, not to mention that he would definitely win in the end, he would not lose so much.

Otherwise, why would Ben Wallace be unconvinced!

In another game, he dared to guarantee that he would never lose so much.

There are still a lot of fans coming to the Auburn Hills Palace Arena tonight, in addition to the current environment Detroit's gradually depressed economy, so that these people gradually regard the arena as a sustenance, and there is also the "super team" of the Heat, many fans are here for them.

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides, the lineup on the Heat side remains unchanged, and the starting lineup on the Pistons' side is:

No. 1 Billups, No. 2 Hamilton, No. 3 Prince, No. 4 Rasheed Wallace, No. 5 Ben Wallace.

It is also the main lineup of the "Pistons Five Tigers".

The two sides of the jump ball were Ben Wallace and Woody.

Woody was now standing in front of Ben Wallace, and he already needed to look up, and if it weren't for the explosive head to support him, to be honest, his height would have been questioned again.

Although it doesn't affect anything, he has already achieved fame, but height is always something that a man cares about very much.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blew and the ball flew out of his hands, and Woody managed to steal the first attack for the Heat.

Alston dribbled the ball to the front court, and in the face of Billups's "close press" as soon as he came up, he almost missed the dribble.

It's been a long time since I've played this kind of high-quality matchup, and Alston is a little unused to it, so he hurriedly gave the ball to Wade.

Wade, who was confident and shining, faced Hamilton, and it was a big change of direction with the ball, and he took the first step in the name of "The Flash" and successfully broke through Hamilton.

Ben Wallace didn't dare to stick up, and the other Wallace didn't dare to come up either, and he finished the frame with ease.

"Ball!"

Billups pressed the serve, and with only four seconds to go, just before halftime to the three-point line, he raised his hand and shot a three-point shot.

3-2！

The Great War has begun!
