The Heat counterattacked and fast-break one after another, and they were generally active and quick to grab offensive rebounds, and Lin Fei's pass behind the cover at the top of the arc was also quite decisive.

Lin Fei also hit his second three-pointer of the night to help the team extend the lead to 10 points.

The walkers got serious.

Artest was clearly angry with Wade's flying cap and moved up to the offensive end to cover Jamal Tinsley with the ball.

The quality of Atai's cover is very good, and his strong body blocks the space for Wade to go around the cover for the first time.

Wade wants to squeeze through it with his physicality, but no matter how strong he is in the guard, he is nothing compared to a beast like Artest.

Seeing that Tinsley is about to get a good shot in the high post, he can only quickly make up for it.

The Pacers were obviously still looking for this point to misplace the singles, and Tinsley made a sudden stop and change of direction, directly shook off the slow pace of the rough, and moved a step sideways from the middle distance to make a decisive shot.

"Huh!"

Seeing that he was roughly played by the Pacers' small point guard, the high center of gravity made it difficult for him to show his flexible feet on the defensive end, and the Heat fans in the audience frowned.

Whether it was the Mavericks and Clippers back then, or the Heat today, the reason why he didn't reuse roughly is that his poor performance on the defensive end is the most important reason.

The general advantage is in shooting, but the ability to fight under the basket is insufficient, and the bounce and bounce speed are not ideal, which also affects him to compete for rebounds, and the small man who is flexible in HU's defense also suffers.

Wade walked up and took the initiative to pat his shoulder, communicating with him about some details of the change of defense just now.

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines looked calm, not annoyed by the continuous targeting on the defensive end, but was mentally prepared.

As the head coach of the team, Van Gundy knows every player in the squad and has struggled to integrate into the team last season and has not been active enough in garbage time.

But this offseason and in the preseason, led by Lin Fei, Big Van Gundy saw a different roughness, he was obviously more active on the defensive end, although he still didn't do well in many places.

The Heat attacked, the Big Three continued to play triangles on the strong side, and Wade held the ball and burst into the restricted area again.

"Whoosh!"

Whether it's Tinsley or Fred Jones, it's almost impossible to defend against the breakthrough of "The Flash" alone.

The Pacers had already prepared, Artest decisively let go of the high post to make up for the defense, and Xiao Ao entangled O'Neal and waited for the opportunity, which made the restricted area bloated, and it was difficult for Wade and O'Neal to play a good low-post match.

"Whoosh!"

A clever pass that was almost unsightly, Wade flicked his wrist and the ball quickly came to the rough hand of the high post on the left.

Obviously, this is the established offensive tactics of the Heat.

The reason why Udonis Haslem was roughly replaced was because he had a better mid-to-long-range feel than Haslem, and once Atay made up for it, it was completely empty.

After receiving Wade's pass, there was about a moment of excitement, but the mood calmed down quickly and seized the opportunity to jump out decisively.

Although the reaction and shooting speed were not fast, the Pacers gave the approximate space too large, enough for him to calmly adjust the pace before shooting.

"Huh!"

The basketball hollows into the net and makes a wonderful splash.

Roughly tonight, he hit a solid shot from 20 feet to the basket, about 6 meters from the basket, and the long two points of this point are the general strength, and the shooting rate is 60%.

It can not only open up space on the offensive end, but also maintain a better shooting percentage.

If he were to be replaced by Haslem, his shooting percentage in this position would be much worse.

Wade returned to neutralize and roughly clapped his hands, and smiled and encouraged: "Wang, well done!" ”

He also responded with a smile: "Dwayne, your passing is also great!" ”

It is obvious that Wade's attitude towards himself in the new season has changed a lot, and he roughly knows that this is the face that Lin Fei has brought him.

Fred Jones's three-point shot from the outside was a bit hasty, and the basketball bounced off the frame.

"Bang dang!"

The red light comes on and the first quarter of the game ends.

Heat (31) :(21) Pacers.

With a net win of 10 points in a single quarter, this start can be said to be very good.

Wade scored a team-high 14 points in the quarter, plus 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, filling the stats column.

O'Neal also scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, while Xiao O's only scored 2 points in the first quarter.

Lin Fei played 6 minutes in the first quarter, made 2 of 2 three-pointers, and although he only scored 6 points and 1 steal, he was the player with the highest plus/minus on the team.

In the 6 minutes of the second half of the game, the Heat played a wave of 19:6 and comprehensively crushed the Pacers in offensive and defensive tactics.

Lin Fei walked off the stage with a smile and took the towel and Gatorade from Tony Allen's hand.

Lin Fei doesn't have much opinion on the positioning of the third scoring point in the current team, and he is still very satisfied overall.

With Wade and O'Neal charging into the line, Lin Fei will not have much pressure on the offensive end, waiting for work, running to open up space, and ready to unsheath the sword at any time.

Put more energy on the defensive end, constantly improve and polish the defensive attributes, so that Lin Fei's offensive and defensive strength will become more balanced, and he will truly transform into a top 3D.

Once Wade and O'Neal are targeted and caught by the defense, Lin Fei's side will naturally get more opportunities to catch the ball, and his personal data will also rise.

Rick Carlisle frowned, when Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal were on the floor at the same time, and the No. 3/4 position on the Heat wing had a good range at the same time,

The Pacers' defense is really hard to do everything.

Larry Bird, the team's general manager, who sat in the second row behind the Pacers' bench, also admired the vision of Heat general manager Pat Riley even more at this time.

Since the black-and-white rivalry in the 80s, as the leader of the Celtics, "Big Bird" Larry Bird has a deep respect for Pat Riley, who coached the Lakers.

The showtime era created by Riley and the Lakers had a huge boost to the NBA in the 80s, and it also allowed the Lakers to win 5 NBA championships in the 80s.

Although Larry Bird's Celtics also had three championship trophies in the 80s, the Green Army could not compare with the Lakers in terms of team influence and style of play.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Pat Riley and the Lakers in the 80s that the Purple and Gold Army has many fans around the world and has become the number one giant in the NBA.

After retiring from the game, Larry Bird became the general manager of the Pacers and wanted to make a career here, and this season is arguably the best opportunity for him and the Pacers.

Although the Miami Heat acquired supernovas such as O'Neal and Lin Fei in the offseason, in Larry Bird's view, the Heat's overall roster lack of depth is not something to fear.

But now that the opener has only been played for one quarter, Larry Bird has been shocked by the performance of the Heat Triumvirate.

Whether it is individual ability or tactical use, this Heat team has completed its transformation.

Wade, O'Neal and Lin Fei, these three guys don't look like teammates who have just been formed in the new season, but more like old buddies who have played together for several seasons.

The biggest impact on Larry Bird was Wade, who scored 14 points in the first quarter, even if he gave the league a meniscus, Wade is still an MVP-level supernova.

In the audience on all sides, the fans of the Heat team were overjoyed, seeing the team's hope of truly winning the championship in the Big Three.

"Dwayne has grown too quickly this offseason, as long as there is enough ball possession, coupled with Shaquille's box containment and Lin's outside threat, Dwayne is averaging at least 25+ points per game this season!"

"Scoring 25+ points per game is conservative in my opinion, and I really see the shadow of Michael Jordan in Dwayne!"

"That's right, Dwayne is Jordan who is 5 centimeters shorter, if he can develop Jordan and Kobe's backward jumper ability, it will be really invincible!"

"Shaquille is still the league's No. 1 center, and no one can shake his position in the box!"

"Lin's three points are too accurate, although he only made 2 shots, but every time he gets the ball, he feels stable!"

"That's generally not bad, I feel like I should give him more chances in the regular season, although the defense is a little worse, but the offensive end is better than Haslem!"

On the court, the 120-second break ended quickly and the second quarter began.

Both teams made big rotations in the second quarter.

After all, it is the beginning of the regular season, practicing the second team tactics, giving the bench more opportunities for players to perform, exploring potential stocks, and at the same time allowing the main team to get more rest and avoid injuries.

In many cases, it's more important than winning a game.

The NBA regular season has 82 games, and it takes nearly six months to go through a long process for any team, so it is necessary to make trade-offs and move forward steadily.

Stan Van Gundy pulled down Wade and O'Neal at the beginning of the second quarter.

Replaced by Damon Jones and Lin Fei in the backcourt, Eddie Jones is retained in the small forward, the power forward is still rough, and the backup center is Michael Doliak.

This bench lineup is indeed risky, and it seems that Big Van Gundy is also very experimental.

Rick Carlisle's side also made a wide range of rotations, leaving Xiao O, Artai and Tinsley off the court.

The five tigers that are replaced are:

Anthony Johnson, Fred Jones, Stephen Jackson, Austin Crosshill, Jeff Foster.

The Pacers' bench interior strength is obviously stronger, and when Foster came up, he resisted Dolyak under the basket, and received the high-profile ball of the "Martial Saint" and directly ate the cake and dunked.

"Boom!"

Turning around, Damon Jones advanced with the ball and roughly came to the right side near the 45-degree angle three-point line to cover Lin Fei.

Lin Fei used the cover to shake off Fred Jones and accelerated straight into the right 0-degree angle.

With just a simple cover interspersed, Fred Jones was delayed in pursuit, and the Pacers backup power forward Kroshil was noticeably too slow to make up the defense.

Damon Jones also followed the established tactics and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei at the 0-degree angle on the right side.

Lin Fei jumped calmly after receiving the ball, and hit another three-point shot.

"Huh!"

After all, it is the regular season, and it is a second-team competition, so the Pacers players can't do a seamless transition in the change of defense against Lin Fei.

On the one hand, the substitute players themselves are limited in physical fitness, and on the other hand, there is also the influence of game attitude.

No one will play the regular season as desperately as they did in the finals, and the Pacers' overall defensive omissions on the bench gave Lin Fei more scoring opportunities to easily catch the ball.

You must know Lin Fei's super projection ability, but he was baptized by the Pistons and Five Tigers in the finals.

Now in the regular season, against most of the team's benches, it's definitely as you want to shoot.

Of course, the premise is that the ball can be passed to your own hands.

This is also one of the reasons why Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley kept Lin Fei on the bench.

In the face of the bench lineup of most teams in the NBA, Lin Fei's three-point shot is bound to be a dimensionality reduction blow.

Of course, there is another premise here, that is, Lin Fei must be equipped with a good passer.

And Damon Jones and the one who can play high is obviously not very good at passing.

The Pacers attacked, and Stephen Jackson, who played with the second lineup, quickly stepped up, and with the help of the center's up-and-down blocking, he decisively hit a three-pointer from the outside.

"Huh!"

gave Lin Fei a strong response.

In this current Pacers team, Stephen Jackson will average more three-point shots per game than Reggie Miller, and he is the first on the team.

And the three-point shooting rate of "Martial Saint" also reached 36%, which is not low.

Conversion of possession.

Eddie Jones was naturally angry with Stephen Jackson's provocation, and after coming to the left outside line, he took the initiative to wave his hand to Damon Jones for the ball.

After all, Eddie Jones was the team's scoring champion last season, and he is also a veteran who has been selected as an All-Star many times.

Summoned a pick-up from the center, Eddie Jones misplaced to force a burst into the box, and there was also a small throw close to the basket.

"Huh!"

In terms of offensive skills, Eddie Jones is still relatively well-rounded, with outside three-pointers, mid-range jumpers and breakthrough ability are not bad, but he has no advantages and strengths.

It's not for nothing that his prime allowed Bryant to stay off the bench for two seasons, but now 33-year-old Eddie Jones is clearly on the verge of going downhill.

How to trade Eddie Jones away has been one of the more frustrating jobs for Pat Riley's Heat management lately.

It stands to reason that he should get more balls and play better numbers in the first half of his rookie season, so that it is easier to trade.

If Eddie Jones' new season stats are drastically reduced, and the management of other teams thinks that this guy is exhausted, it will be even more difficult to trade.

After all, Eddie Jones has an annual salary of more than 14 million US dollars this season, which is second only to O'Neal's 27 million US dollars in the Heat.

Therefore, Pat Riley also told Stan Van Gundy that Eddie Jones should be given as much playing time as possible without hurting the team's chemistry and record.

Back on the defensive end, Eddie Jones showed first-class outside defense this time with Stephen Jackson, who was holding the ball in the high post.

The continuous winding tight defense made Stephen Jackson almost make a mistake, and the effect of hurriedly calling for blocking and dismantling did not come out, but instead formed a communication deviation with the substitute power forward.

Taking advantage of the bag that was roughly reversed, Eddie Jones quickly turned sideways and slapped the ball in the hands of "Martial Saint".

+1 steal.

After all, he is a first-class guard who has been selected for the best defensive team three times in a row, and Lin Fei seems to see Kobe's shadow in Eddie Jones.

And these two guys do look a little similar, the same height of 198, plus the relationship between the main and replacement in the Lakers that year, it is difficult not to be compared together.

Roughly this defense was also very crucial, disrupting Stephen Jackson's rhythm and making it the right defensive choice.

Eddie Jones, who completed the steal, stepped on the accelerator and went straight down after taking the ball, while Damon Jones and Lin Fei followed up on the left and right respectively.

"Whoosh!"

Stephen Jackson gritted his teeth and fought hard to get back and interfere with Eddie Jones' dragon layup.

Seeing that Lin Fei suddenly ran back after rushing into the right frontcourt, he made a cross cover with Damon Jones in the diagonal stab, throwing off the defender and rushing directly towards the left 0-degree angle.

At this time, Jamal Tinsley and Fred Jones's change of defense was off, and Lin Fei was thrown away more than three meters away.

At this critical moment, Eddie Jones, who dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, saw Lin Fei run out of the vacancy, although he was a little dissatisfied with the "group pet" identity of this overseas rookie.

But under the interference of Stephen Jackson, he still chose the safest way, passing the ball directly to the left at a 0-degree angle.

Lin Fei didn't expect Eddie Jones to pass the ball over at the first time, but since he received the ball, he naturally didn't say much and made a decisive move.

After all, a veteran who has played more than a dozen seasons in the league, Eddie Jones knows how to play in a more reasonable way and not mix too much personal emotions into the game.

Of course, there is also a very wonderful point that when he saw Lin Fei running out of the empty position in the fast attack, Eddie Jones's hand seemed to be uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but pass it to Lin Fei.

Because Eddie Jones knows that as long as the ball is passed, the assist will be 90% in hand.

Tinsley's defense was obviously too late, and as he watched the basketball flying out of Lin Fei's fingertips across his head, there was only despair left in his eyes.

"Huh!"

The fourth.

In the defense, Lin Fei also took the initiative to come up and high-five Eddie Jones, and the Heat once again played a perfect defensive counterattack.

The American Airlines Arena was thunderous.

Wade and O'Neal, who were sitting on the bench on the sidelines, also applauded their teammates, and the counterattack after the steal was fast-breaking, which was the most morale-boosting for the team.

Lin Fei has hit 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points, second only to Wade's 14 points on the team.

Back on the defensive end, Stephen Jackson called for the dismantling of the dislocation and then hit Lin Fei, and crushed with his back with his physical advantage.

Lin Fei did not dodge or dodge and struggled to catch up, his footsteps were steady and his long arms interfered, which also caused a lot of trouble to the "Martial Saint".

Eddie Jones quickly let go of the prejudices in his heart and took the initiative to rush up and wrap up Stephen Jackson with Lin Fei.

But Jackson was prepared this time and quickly crossed the ball to Fred Jones, who was cleared.

Fred Jones took a step after receiving the ball and hit it with a mid-range stop.

"Huh!"

Eddie Jones' defensive choice was too risky this time, but Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, did not blame, but smiled and nodded.

In the first quarter, Eddie Jones was clearly outside the Heat's offensive and defensive system, feeling alienated from the Big Three.

But the three-minute cooperation between Lin Fei in the second quarter has allowed Eddie Jones to quickly find the state of the game and devote himself to both offensive and defensive ends.

This has to praise Lin Fei's personality and personal charm, positive and selfless attitude to the game, and can always infect every teammate on the court.

The Heat came to the offensive end, and this time Lin Fei took the initiative to raise Eddie Jones to make a cover during the run, delaying Stephen Jackson's defense.

Lin Fei's huge outside deterrence made Fred hesitate when he switched defenses, and Eddie Jones took advantage of the situation to turn over with a dribble and left the opponent behind, and there was also a stop-and-go half-volley in the breakthrough.

"Huh!"

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle couldn't take it anymore and was so unhappy with the loose defense of the bench that he quickly called a long timeout.

Eddie Jones also took the initiative to come up and high-five Lin Fei, and the prejudice against Lin Fei, a young man, was melting little by little.

After all, he is 33 years old and can't play in the league for a few years, so why bother with a rookie?

Lin Fei and Wade are both huge potential stocks of the team, a top breakthrough and a three-point shot, even the league's No. 1 center O'Neal knows to let go, what can't he think of?

It is better to leave more opportunities for young people, so that they can play health basketball and spend their old age in peace.

Although Eddie Jones hasn't made a big enough name in the league, he has had a perfect enough career, having been selected to the All-Star and All-Star Team, and has also received a big contract of more than 70 million.

After figuring this out in his heart, Eddie Jones instantly felt much more emotionally comfortable, and then looked at Lin Fei's gaze, and there was a little more respect and love for the juniors.

After the timeout, the Pacers re-replaced Reggie Miller and strengthened the pursuit of Lin Fei, which also allowed Eddie Jones to get more offensive opportunities, scoring 4 points on 2-of-3 shooting.

With the steady play of Lin Fei and Eddie Jones, the Heat's second team withstood the pressure of the Pacers' chasing points, and the second quarter reached an official timeout in the interseason, still leading the opponent by 11 points.

Lin Fei, who played 12 minutes straight, was also replaced by Stan Van Gundy, Eddie Jones and Roughly followed the break, and Wade and O'Neal returned to the game.

Without Lin Fei's running cover on the outside, the Pacers switched to regional defense, which made Wade and O'Neal's offensive efficiency drop again.

But the Heat also did a good job on the defensive end, playing a counterattack and fast break in the cold, making it very difficult for the Pacers to chase points.

Lin Fei reappeared in the last 1 minute of the first half, partnering Wade and O'Neal to play a triangle offense, and the Pacers' defensive attention was more focused on Wade and O'Neal.

Lin Fei also seized the opportunity and received Wade's assist to hit another three-pointer in the face of Reggie Miller's save.

"Huh!"

Fifth.

Reggie Miller was clearly suspected of being a hitter, but the referee's whistle did not blow.

The advantage of the Heat was even more pronounced at halftime.

Heat (54) :(39) Pacers.

He is already 15 points ahead of his opponent.

Lin Fei played 13 minutes in the first half, made 5 three-point shots, scored 15 points and 1 steal, scored incomparably in scoring efficiency, and ranked first in the game in terms of plus/minus.

Wade scored a team-high 17 points, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and was the most well-rounded, being everywhere on both ends of the floor.

O'Neal had 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Eddie Jones had 6 points, and roughly Damon Jones also scored.

"Lin is really accurate, 5 of 5 in the half, this three-point shot, not to mention that the 39-year-old Miller can't stand it, even if it's the peak Miller, he has to bow down!"

"Lin's style characteristics are really a good match with Dwayne and Shaquille, and our Heat will definitely be able to soar to the sky and play well this year!"

"The most pity is that Lin can't dribble, otherwise he will be really invincible!"

"Lin seems to have scored a total of 21 points in the regular season last season, haha, tonight this is a game to surpass!"

"The Pacers are the best in the East, if we can easily win even the Pacers, then the championship will definitely not be too far away!"

"It's too early to say championships, I just want to see Dwayne, Shaquille and Lin all make it to All-Star this year!"

During the halftime break, in the audience at the American Airlines Arena, Heat fans talked enthusiastically and were full of anticipation for the team's record in the new season.

In the square outside the American Airlines arena, rows of palm trees are blown by the sea breeze, and the night view of the city is beautiful.

Thousands of local Miami citizens and fans also gathered in the square, watching the live broadcast of the game on the big screen, exercising, chatting and walking.

After the start of the third quarter, Lin Fei played hand in hand with Wade and O'Neal, with Eddie Jones and Haslem.

If you want to chase after the victory, expand the score and lock in the victory in advance.

The Pacers, on their side, are still the starting five Tigers.

Rick Carlisle laid out a new defensive strategy for the team's defensive problems in the first half, and the Eastern giants' ability to adjust was also fully displayed.

When Wade was holding the ball and Lin Fei was covering, the two Pacers guards all came up to cover Wade, the ball-carrier, for the first time, which caught Wade a little off guard.

After all, he is only a sophomore rookie, with explosive talent but inexperience, and Wade is not cautious enough to deal with the bag problem.

Coupled with Reggie Miller's ferocious pressing, Wade made two passing errors in a row.

Subsequently, in response to the changes in defense, Wade no longer played cover with Lin Fei, but directly penetrated the basket through his personal ability.

Tinsley's deliberate tight contraction, coupled with Artay's timely defense, left Wade with more options for mid-range shots, or split the ball to O'Neal and Haslem.

But Haslem's mid-range is not accurate, and O'Neill is entangled by Xiao O, once he takes the ball and attacks it, he will be a fierce slasher with his head and face.

O'Neal, who walked to the free throw line, still could only perform about 50% of the time.

Reggie Miller was very active in the pursuit of Lin Fei, and Wade's passing route was also deliberately blocked.

The Pacers put up a playoff-caliber defense in the third quarter, which left the Heat's offense unmatched for a while.

Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the Pacers played a wave of fierce scoring offensive in the third quarter, Xiao Ao and his guard teammates continued to block and dismantle, and Artest beat Haslem with the same good effect.

Combined with Stephen Jackson's back-to-back two-corner, it allowed the Pacers to quickly close the gap to single digits.

Fortunately, the Heat team also made timely adjustments, although the Big Three couldn't open the situation for a while,

But Eddie Jones found his form on the weak side, and the more he shot, the hotter he shot, and in the face of Stephen Jackson's consecutive breakthrough singles, he shot 4 of 5 in the single quarter, and scored 11 points with free throws.

Lin Fei also borrowed two consecutive covers from Haslem and Eddie Jones in a frontcourt run, and quickly retreated to a position two meters away from the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Reggie Miller was half a beat slower to catch up after being delayed, and Stephen Jackson's side was afraid of Eddie Jones' hot touch and did not switch guards at the first time.

In addition, Lin Fei quickly retreated to two meters outside the three-point line in the run, and such a sharp stop and retreat was sharp and fast, and it was also easy to confuse the chaser.

"Whoosh!"

Eddie Jones keenly spotted this opportunity and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei behind him.

After Lin Fei received the ball, he jumped and bent his bow and arrow, and made a lightning shot with an ultra-long three-pointer.

"Huh!"

And also.

Sixth.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers relied on better offensive and defensive performances to play a wave of 25:19 in a single quarter, chasing the difference to single digits.

Wade only scored 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the entire third quarter, and once he can't get to the basket, the technical shortcomings in the projection will still be quite obvious.

After the start of the final quarter, Stan Van Gundy made a tactical adjustment, allowing the hot-touch Eddie Jones to replace Wade and hold the ball high at a 45-degree angle on the right side.

Cover Lin Fei with the ball, and at the same time form an offensive triangle with O'Neal in the low post.

With such a sudden change of formation, the Pacers' defense was not adjusted well, and the bag clamp was not a retreat nor a defense.

let Jones make one of his own shots, and assisted Lin Fei to hit another three-pointer.

"Huh!"

Then the ball was transferred to Wade on the weak side, Tinsley put it too big, Wade had no psychological baggage, and decisively tried an outside three-pointer.

"Huh!"

This ball is also hit.

Wade's three-point shot is poor, but it is about 28%, and if he is too open, he can still hit.

What's more, since Lin Fei, a new teammate, the players in the Heat lineup have gradually begun to practice three-point practice for all.

The Heat came up with a wave of 8:3 in the last quarter, which caught the Pacers off guard, and Rick Carlisle could only call another timeout to adjust.

It's not a long-term way to get a pick-and-roll ball-carrier, and once Wade is mentally prepared, it can be very risky.

After the timeout, Haslem was roughly replaced, and the Heat focused on offense.

Lin Fei, Roughly, and Jones all opened enough space on the outside and in the bottom corner.

Wade and O'Neal played blocking and dismantling in the high post, and O'Neal's huge body stuck Tinsley, which made Little O's position to make up for Wade's breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Wade quickly distributed the ball to O'Neal, turned over and went down O'Neal to catch the ball and throw off Xiao O, strode into the penalty area, ignored Atai, who was making up for the defense, and jumped up and dunked directly.

"Boom!"

The Heat's continuous change of moves made the Pacers unguardable, and Rick Carlisle on the sidelines also frowned.

The ball was converted, Reggie Miller used the cover to run away from Lin Fei and hit a key three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Huh!"

Turning back, Wade continued to block and dismantle O'Neal, and in the breakthrough, he attracted Artay's bag and turned over and accurately passed back to the rough hand of the outside line at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Roughly in the open space, he breathed a sigh of relief and made a decisive three-point shot.

"Bang dang!"

The ball was a little off the crosshairs, and the iron missed.

"Smack!"

But the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal against Xiao Ao, and seeing that O'Neal was about to make up for the dunk again, Xiao Ao hurriedly pushed O'Neal hard.

But Xiao Ao still underestimated O'Neill's huge tonnage.

"Boom!"

In the loud noise, O'Neal made a strong dunk in the face of Xiao Ao's push, and the tempered rebound shook violently.

After O'Neill landed on the ground, he raised his chin proudly, and shouted angrily at Xiao Ao:

"Can you have more strength, I don't feel it at all!"

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, 2+1.

"Bang dang!"

O'Nealga, who walked to the free throw line, missed a free throw, but Wade rushed to the basket like lightning, and with his extraordinary speed, he actually took the lead in grabbing the offensive rebound above the heads of Xiao Ao and Artay.

"Smack!"

After landing, Wade relied on his excellent second jumping ability, and jumped directly sideways to give a supplementary dunk.

But Atai's defense was very savage, and he slapped Wade on the shoulder and dragged the opponent from the air.

"Bang!"

"Beep!"

Wade fell to the ground in response to Artay's brutal foul, and the referee's whistle followed.

Directly gave Artest a first-degree malicious foul.

The Heat fans at home were a little furious, cursing Artest's barbarism.

O'Neill also rushed up to support the scene for his younger brother Wade, and shouted at Artest:

"Hey man, are you here to box? If you don't know how to play, get out of here, Miami fans aren't welcome! ”

Artest always looked stunned, and in the face of the provocation of the big shark, he snorted disdainfully:

"Shaquille, I know you're scared of my punches, because one punch can knock you unconscious!"

O'Neill laughed angrily, but he didn't dare to really compare with Atai:

"Ron, you have a kind of come up and punch me now, and I'll definitely let you get out of the American Airlines arena on your stomach!"

The referee immediately stopped the shouting of the two and gave a stern gesture to expel both of them if they quarreled again.

Lin Fei and Eddie Jones ran up to pick up Wade and asked him about his physical condition.

After all, judging from the moment Atai pulled it just now, it was really a little scary.

Wade got up and puffed out his cheeks, his eyes full of confidence: "I feel great, it's not that simple for this guy to hurt me!" ”

watched Wade come back from the ground and walk to the free throw line with domineering steps,

Lin Fei couldn't help but be a little moved, perhaps it was Wade who was too conceited about his body and didn't know how to control and cherish, so he had a long history of intermittent injuries later.

Compared to Wade, James obviously knows how to manage his career and maintain his health at the same time.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Wade, who walked to the free throw line, made both free throws.

The first-degree villain, two free throws and one throw, is still the Heat's possession.

Artest's first-degree malicious foul came very unwisely, allowing the Heat to extend the margin to 15 points again.

After forbearance in the third quarter, Wade completely played his state in the final quarter, and the basketball went into the net after breaking through the penalty area with a cover.

"Huh!"

With this shot, Wade has scored a game-high 27 points tonight.

Artest, who was a little out of control emotionally, came to the offensive end and impatiently asked the point guard for the ball.

Roughly standing in a fixed position under his feet, he accurately predicted that he was blocking Artest's breakthrough line, and was directly knocked to the ground by the beast's strong body.

"Beep!"

Atai was too anxious this time, and was directly punished by the referee for attacking and hitting people for a foul.

Lin Fei and Wade rushed up and pulled up the rough and sent encouragement together.

"Well done, king!"

"Roughly, you've been very successful in defending this time!"

I got up and rubbed my chest with some pain, but my heart was very satisfied.

Improving defense is a key factor in gaining a foothold in the NBA today, and since your physical fitness can't be changed, it's time to redouble down on your defensive skills and attitude to the game.

Artest, who was returning to the defense, stared at the referee fiercely, and he couldn't hide the gaze of the knife man.

Rick Carlisle was afraid that Artai would become the team's time bomb again, so he hurriedly replaced Artest in the next deadball time.

Without Atai's help defense, O'Neal practiced Xiao Ao alone in the low post under the basket, and his footsteps shook after receiving the ball, turning over and hooking another one.

"Huh!"

Xiao Ao came to the offensive end to pick up and catch the ball, and the high jump shot was still iron.

"Bang dang!"

Xiao Ao performed very badly tonight, scoring 7 points on 3-of-9 shooting so far, although O'Neal did not score much, but the defense successfully limited Xiao Ao's play.

On the offensive end, he doesn't fight for the ball, is willing to take the initiative to block and cover for the guard, and works hard to protect the basket on the defensive end, and actively fights for rebounds.

But at the same time, it also made Lakers fans feel unfamiliar.

Although Xiao Ao missed the basket, Stephen Jackson, who cut the basket in the air, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a direct rebound.

"Huh!"

Eddie Jones' defense was a bit distracted, and he also smiled and raised a hand to signal to his teammates that it was his own marking problem.

With a big lead in the final quarter, it was inevitable that the players would be slackened and distracted on the defensive end.

After all, this is only a regular season game, and as long as there are no major accidents, the Heat will have basically no problem winning the game.

In the team's subsequent counterattack fast attack,

Lin Fei also seized the opportunity of the Pacers' pursuit of negligence, and a sharp reverse run came to the outside of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and picked up another shot after receiving a pass from Wade.

"Huh!"

The seventh.

Heat (88) :(70) Pacers.

With Lin Fei's three-point shot, the Heat team has a lead of 18 points.

On the timer, there were only 6 minutes and 12 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.

Lin Fei made all 7 three-pointers tonight, plus a technical foul free throw, and scored 22 points, which just paid tribute to the number of his jersey.

When the game entered the official timeout, Stan Van Gundy also took the opportunity to replace Lin Fei, and patted Lin Fei on the shoulder with a smile:

"Lin, you did your job perfectly tonight, and Mr. Riley and I are very proud of you!"

Lin Fei also responded confidently: "Coach, the fan atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena is really great, I like it here, I hope I can shoot more in the next game!" ”

Lin Fei played 29 minutes off the bench tonight, hitting all 7 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and also contributed 1 key steal on the defensive end, as well as many successful single defenses and assistant defenses.

Compared with Lin Fei in the playoffs last season, Lin Fei in the new season has made great progress on the defensive end, and he is no longer the colander who is infinitely targeted by offensive players.

Seeing Lin Fei being replaced, the Heat fans at home also cheered and applauded.

There is no doubt that Lin Fei was one of the main contributors to the Heat's victory tonight.

7 of 7 three-point shots, this scoring efficiency is really unparalleled, and it is completely a bug on the court.

If Lin Fei only has a regular three-point shooting rate of about 3 of 7 shots, then the gap of the remaining 4 three-pointers is likely to make the Heat only lead the Pacers by about 5 points.

Then the suspense of the final outcome of the game is still huge.

Coming back from the timeout, Tony Allen came on in place of Lin Fei and was roughly replaced by substitute power forward Malik Allen, and O'Neill was replaced by Michael Dolyak.

Wade and Eddie Jones remained on the court for a few more minutes.

After all, leading by 18 points in the last 6 minutes is not too safe, and if the main force is withdrawn so early, it is likely to be completed by the Pacers.

Coupled with Wade's 27 points tonight, Stan Van Gundy pushed him to break the 30-point mark as much as possible, which is also a great encouragement for the growth of the team's new leader.

Eddie Jones is being actively sought to be traded by management, so he should play more and play better numbers in order to have greater trade value.

Lin Fei sat on the bench and chatted with a general smile, watching Tony Allen make his first appearance as a substitute tonight, and cheering for the rookie in his heart.

If Lin Fei is willing, he can naturally play for about three or five more minutes in the final quarter, with his current physical condition, and he is partnered with the two superstars of Wade O'Neal, and it is not a big problem to play within 35 minutes.

But when the team had obvious advantages, Lin Fei still chose to leave the game early, which also gave the substitute defenders more playing time.

In particular, Tony Allen, a defensive stalwart in the future, is in great need of polishing on the pitch.

The Heat will have to unite as a single team to have a chance to win more games and challenge for a championship.

Although Lin Fei is not the boss of the Heat now, he will eventually become the boss of an NBA team in the future.

So you have to develop your temperament and demeanor as a team leader from now on.

With Wade scoring two more points under the basket in a sharp breakaway, his personal score tonight officially broke the 30 mark to 31 points.

On the timer, the final quarter of the game was played until the last three minutes.

The Heat still lead the Pacers by 17 points, and the game can be said to be in no suspense.

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout and replaced Wade, but kept Eddie Jones on the court.

On the Pacers' side, Rick Carlisle also replaced the main force with a big wave and surrendered early.

After all, it's just a regular season opener, and if you lose, you lose, and the most important thing is to sum up the experience after the game.

The next time he returns to his home court to face the Heat, Carlisle must not lose to Big Van Gundy again tactically.

Wade, who walked off the field, waved his arms at the audience, and was greeted by cheers and applause from the fans.

Wade played 37 minutes tonight, 12-of-20 shooting, 1-of-1 three-pointer, 6-of-8 free throws, 31 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and was a well-deserved MVP of the game.

Lin Fei's 7 three-pointers, 22 points and 1 steal, as well as O'Neal's 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, complemented Wade's all-round performance.

The opening game debut of the Heat Big Three not only amazed Heat fans, but also the entire league.

The game ended quickly, and Eddie Jones also got 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal tonight, which is also worthy of his annual salary of more than 13 million US dollars.

Heat (106) :(89) Pacers.

With a hearty victory, he won the regular season start of the 04-05 season.

Memphis.

Grizzlies General Manager's Office.

Seeing the Heat's big win over the Pacers at home and getting the new season off to a good start, starting small forward Eddie Jones also had a good performance of 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Jerry West, the logo man who is the general manager, has also begun to loosen his mind.

Looking up at Grizzlies head coach Hubby Brown, who was sitting across from him, West said:

"Our starting lineup does lack a suitable forward scorer, although Eddie Jones is 33 years old, he is still an average of 20+ small forwards per game! At least two more years to go to the top! ”

"I was well aware of his technical characteristics when I was with the Lakers, and a weakened version of Kobe, he and Gasol can achieve good results!"

Coach Huby Brown nodded: "Eddie Jones is indeed suitable for the team, and now we have no good second scoring point except for Pau Gasol in the lineup!" ”

"I wonder what chips the Heat want? Trade as soon as possible if it's suitable! ”

Jerry West said with a calm face: "Pat Riley is willing to send Eddie Jones, Rasul Butler and Kenyon Doolin to get Jason Williams and Sean Battier from us!" ”

Hubby Brown frowned: "Jason Williams has not played as well as a year in the Grizzlies in these three seasons, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to trade him!" Putting Earl Watson on the starting point guard shouldn't be too effective! ”

"Since we want to trade for Eddie Jones, it's better to send Sean Battier away, and if the Heat are willing to send another first-round pick, I feel like the deal can be finalized!"
