At first, no one took the words of the two rulers of the 80s to heart, thinking that it was a new game for the old couple.

Until the Miami Heat made it to Indiana's home court.

The overall lineup of the Heat is very young, except for the two veterans of Brian Grant and Eddie Jones, the others are all post-80s.

Starting line-up Wade, Caron Butler, Eddie Jones, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant.

The starting lineup of the Pacers is: Suhi, Artest, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr., Foster.

Before the game, ESPN interviewed Wade, and they asked some very preconceived questions, asking Wade what he thought of Suhi the Sheep winning the Rookie of the Year and how Suhi the Sheep was significantly worse than the regular season in the previous round.

However, Wade's handling is interesting. He said, "Hey, man, we've been friends since we weren't professionals. I'm happy for him, he deserves the Rookie of the Year trophy. Did Jack have a bad performance in the last round? The Pacers are 4 to 0. ”

Wade obviously doesn't want to get involved in these discussions, and the overwhelming Suhey vs. James discussion has tired him, and he just wants the years to be quiet.

The game was fast in action.

Larry Bird sat early in front of the TV, and he sat in front of the TV at Michael Jordan's house.

Bird can be regarded as Jordan's idol, and Jordan has always respected Bird. He also openly acknowledged that Bird and the Magician were the rulers of the previous era, like a kind of inheritance. By contrast, the smiling assassin caught between the big bird, the magician, and the flying man was disgusting.

Bird came over to ask Jordan how to improve the stability of the big hand player, and Bird came over in person, and Jordan wanted to give some face.

After Jordan retired, he did not stop caring about the development of the NBA. He has been pushing for the expansion of the NBA's new team for the past two years, and he has made a name for himself and set out to build a new team in Charlotte.

The league has already approved it, and other teams have agreed to include new members.

Jordan entertained Bird so warmly, and was willing to sit in front of the TV to watch this playoff game with Bird, hoping to get more support from Bird.

According to NBA rules, a new team has the privilege of expanding the draft. Pick players from other teams, of course... Other teams will only put on players who may not be needed.

Jordan wants Bird to give him two useful players, and the Pacers have a lot of players anyway.

"Michael, what do you think of Susie the Sheep?" Bird asked Jordan after the game began.

Jordan frowned, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you willing to put him on the list?" ”

"No, I mean, what do you think of his game?" Bird asked.

"I don't know. I don't like him very much. Jordan said very plainly: "The first time I saw him, I didn't feel very comfortable, I don't know why, it's an intuitive dislike." ”

It's like an old mother who can always find out from a group of girls that her son likes: because he doesn't like it at first instinct.

"You should take a good look at his game, this kid has the same boundless creativity and learning ability as you do. Maji and I taught him for a few days, and he improved by leaps and bounds. You'd love to get a real successor, right? Perhaps, he is a better fit for you than LeBron. ”

Bird kept seducing Jordan.

"To be honest, I don't want another Jordan successor at all. It's actually impossible for anyone to replicate my success and become the next me. "Jordan shrugged his shoulders, he had a strong sense of confidence.

Two triple crown dynasties are his greatest confidence.

His legend has long been engraved in the history monuments.

At this time, Sushi held the ball to the top of the arc, and Wade stared at him.

Wade's defense is very strong among rookies, and he has excellent physical qualities.

He interferes with Suhi.

Suhi swooped in and rushed hard. But Wade used his explosive power and speed to follow up, and seized a favorable position, blocking the way again, forcing Sushi to stop his pace.

The Flash lives up to its name.

Jordan in front of the TV had a disapproving smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, in his opinion, it would be good if the ball stopped directly and pulled out the jump shot.

Can this be blocked?

Can this also be said to have the opportunity to become my successor?

Larry, you're too old and dizzy, aren't you?

My Jordan's successor... Hardaway, Hill, Carter, Kobe, Maddy, and now James and Wade, which do not have otherworldly offensive physical talents.

Jordan watched Suhi the Sheep on and off and on, and his opinion was no different from that of other basketball experts: although Suhi's physical fitness evolved quickly, he decided that Suhi was not a superstar who could really control everything. At best, Scott Pippen, who can do everything, and even many of them, seems to be proficient, but lacks the ability to break down the defense in one fell swoop.

While Jordan's heart was racing, Suhi completed a pass that made the TV announcer scream.

Suhi made a quick stop under Wade's block, turned around, and then at the same time, quickly passed the ball from Wade's side into the penalty area in a back-hitting manner.

O'Neal Jr. received the basketball and jumped up...... Rumble!

Hands clasped violently.

Lamar Odom was simply not enough to stop O'Neill Jr. from acting.

Although Odom was also called Magic No. 2 when he debuted, he even played point guard with the Clippers.

But he soon proved that he wasn't that kind of thing.

"Is this the passing technique that Magic and Bird taught? It's really magician-like. ”

Barkley shouted praise on the TNT channel.

Replays are also available on TV.

Michael Jordan raised his eyebrows slightly, which is indeed very good.

However, Jordan was never interested in passing, believing that passing did not have much effect on solving the game, but instead produced a 'loss of efficiency' in the passing process.

When he was younger, there were many people who said that he only knew how to score points and didn't know how to unite his teammates at all. He also took Magic Johnson to 'spur' him. Jordan got several triple-doubles in a week in a fit of rage, but lost all three games.

Since then, he has not deliberately pursued assists, and the outside world has not said that he will not pass the ball.

After all, for the most powerful attacking master of all time, getting 10 assists per game is as easy as picking up a glass and drinking water.

Suhi's current offensive firepower with the ball is relative to Jordan, not to mention entering the house, that is, just entering the entry level.

However, his passing ability improved by leaps and bounds under the training of the two rulers in the 80s.

Just the opening one round was enough to cheer Pacers fans up.

Yibian fought again, and Suxi was in front of Wade.

Wade is an extremely fast attacker, and not only is he fast and changes direction faster, but most importantly, he has a very good ability to control the tempo.

He made a small change of direction in front of Suhey.

Usually, two or three temptations are made in a row before taking action.

Wade, however, was unconventional, and he swooped forward.

His explosiveness is not much different from Su Xi, and he is also in the 99 rank.

His speed is even higher than that of Sushi at 97.

On top of that, his talent for coordination and agility far surpasses Suhi.

He slammed in a step, and Su Xi hurriedly retreated, but at the moment when Su Xi retreated, Wade's body was directly twisted, forming a strange change of direction... Suxi hurriedly moved sideways, but she was still one step behind... Wade twisted his body and forced his assault on the penalty area.

Suhi rarely gets crushed by talent.

He didn't defend James so passively.

This has something to do with the style of play.

Wade got to the basket and jumped up, facing Foster's defense, and he collided with each other... Defenders from Illinois are particularly brave, with Wade hitting Foster with a beautiful pull and putting the basketball in the basket with his left hand.

I have to say that Wade is extremely talented and has a strong ability to combine man and ball.

Michael Jordan raved about it in front of the TV. He said to Bird: "Don't you think Wade the Flash has more of the backbone we had at that time than Suhey, the sheep who is used to tricks? ”

"I'm more optimistic about Wade becoming a superstar. I know that this season, Sushi the Sheep has achieved a lot of success with the Pacers, he is very versatile, he is perfectly embedded in the Pacers system, and you have a good chance of hitting the Finals. ”

"But, IMHO, Sushi the Sheep can't be a superstar."

Jordan said to Bird with certainty.

Bird was a little speechless, he wasn't here to listen to Jordan's 'judgment', he wanted Jordan to tell him how to control the big palm, and make the big palm precise and soft when shooting.

He wants Suhi to be stronger, and he wants Suhey's shooting to beat Suhey's back-to-back singles a year later.

So, he doesn't plan to argue with Jordan until he accomplishes this goal.

The game continues.

Suhi and O'Neal Jr. screened, and instead of moving forward after gaining a bit of space, he immediately passed the basketball to the corner, and Reggie Miller appeared in the open space, and he caught the ball and shot...... Swish!

Miller hit a 3-pointer.

Suhi's vision of the pitch and timing of his passes are on full display in this one ball.

If you are a mediocre point guard, you are likely to miss this strategic window.

Before it was Suhi, although he could see it, his passing skills were not in place, and he couldn't complete it, let alone seize this fleeting opportunity.

"Reggie is still playing, does he still have a chance to win a championship?" Jordan was muttering to himself.

Reggie Miller is his descendant, but he is also a generation.

Reggie Miller has brought some 'small threats' to Jordan at the peak, and he respects this kind of player who can threaten him.

"This year's opportunity is huge," Larry Bird said. Jack solved all of our shortcomings. ”

Jack?

Jordan was in a trance for a moment before remembering that Jack was Suxi's English name.

Jack Sue.

The game continues.

Wade was in good form tonight, he continued to assault Suhi, Atai assisted in the defense, Suhey quickly and decisively flanked... But Wade still passed the basketball out early, and Eddie Jones hit the shot.

The two sides come and go.

Wade and Suhi's performances can be described as evenly matched.

Wade opens up the situation with his powerful assault penetration ability.

Although Suhi also uses breakthroughs as a starting point, he is more of a tandem with the whole team to show his playmaking talents.

The Pacers are better overall than the Heat.

So, in the sixth minute, the Pacers led by 4 points.

Suhi goes to rest.

His stats are 3 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds.

Wade, meanwhile, scored 8 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound.

"Wade's assault is a lot like when I was younger." "He's got the speed, the coordination, the explosiveness perfectly, and he's got a great balance," Jordan said. Moreover, he has enough breakthrough skills and his finishing ability under the basket is also very strong. ”

Jordan has been praising Wade.

He liked Wade far more than Suhee, who Bird was obsessed with.

It didn't even know how to speak.

Suhi rested on the bench, and the Pacers' overall offensive fluency slipped again, which was different from the last series.

However, the Pacers' lead is still slowly improving.

Although Stan Van Gundy has always emphasized that what he learned the most from Pat Riley is defense, the Heat are still weak on offense and defense.

Moreover, their young talents do not form a real synergy.

Both Kaloon Butler and Lamar Odom will have to share the ball, and although the tactics have kept them together, they still have the intention of going their separate ways in the face of the Pacers' strong defensive pressure.

"You're eating them by cutting sausages." Jordan said, "You guys should now think about how to deal with the Detroit Pistons. ”

Bird raised an eyebrow and said, "We have Jack and we're not worried about the Pistons. ”

"The playoffs are not the same as the regular season. Don't underestimate the Pistons, Larry, I've seen their games. After getting Rasheed Wallace, they are now very strong. Larry Brown built Detroit into a disciplined, immaculate, iron-clad division. ”

"Even if your little sheep Suhi passes the ball up dramatically, it doesn't necessarily change the situation."

Jordan reminded.

Bird said, "So what do you think is wrong with Suhey the Sheep?" ”

"It's not Suhi the Sheep's problem, there's nothing wrong with him. He even has some advantages at the back. ”

Jordan opened the conversation. "The problem is that you don't have a superstar on your team who can step up and kill everything with the ball in key moments, Suhi the Sheep doesn't have that ability, and neither does O'Neal Jr," he said. Miller is an off-ball shooter, and he's old. Atay is even more unlikely. ”

"You have a lot of similarities with the Pistons' tactics, but the Pistons are more extreme than you."

"Ben Wallace's defense is far superior to the center group you've hoarded, are you trying to use these guys against O'Neal? But you probably won't be able to touch the Lakers. ”

"Rasheed Wallace is a little bit worse than O'Neal Jr. in every way, but he's tougher and he's better against the wind than O'Neal Jr."

"Prince and Atay, the quality of individual soldiers is definitely strong in Atay, but in the system, their roles are almost the same. Even Prince consumes less. ”

"Hamilton and Miller, Hamilton is younger and more energetic."

"Suhi the Sheep and Billups, I think Billups is more experienced and can throw key goals."
