NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 113 "Rookie Wall" is here ([-]D update)

After running two away games in a row, the Celtics can finally return to home in the next game.

Playing 3 games in 2 days is actually the normal rhythm of the NBA. In tight situations, there may even be 2 games in 2 days, which is the so-called "back-to-back"!
But even with the normal pace of the NBA, Zhu Wan still felt mentally exhausted after playing two consecutive away games.

If this catches up with "back-to-back" or two away games...

Zhu Wan couldn't imagine how tired he was.

No wonder even the "Pride of Heaven" has a lot of fluctuations in his rookie season.

Just overcoming and adapting to a much more intensive schedule than the NCAA is already a very difficult thing!

Now Juwan admired Oakley even more.

This guy is 40 years old, and he can still happily appreciate famous whores every night.

The spirit is called a refreshment.

Zhu Wanyou asked him the secret, and this guy replied: Just get used to it!
I am used to a der!

Zhu Wan couldn't help complaining that this made him play with Oakley like this, and before he got used to it, he wanted to scrap it.

Well, he had to admit that some things really depend on God to give!
Just like grass tolerance!
Zhu Wan should take the path of health preservation...

I don't know how old "Mouth Mamba" is now, and whether he has started his "health regimen".

The next day, the "Player of the Week Award" for the first week of the new NBA season was released.

The "Best of the Week" in the first week of the Western Conference belongs to Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs. He just won the Finals MVP in the summer. Entering the new season, his performance is as strong as ever. Up to 24.5 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.5 blocks!

Under his leadership, the Spurs also won 4 consecutive victories.

Such data and record also allowed him to beat Shaquille O'Neal, Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett and many other stars, and won the "Western Weekly Best" in the first week of the season!
And the ownership of the "Best of the Week" in the East is a bit beyond everyone's expectations...

刚刚进入联盟的朱万凭借着场均18.25分8.5篮板8助攻0.75抢断1盖帽的数据带队4连胜，力压东部众多球星，成为了NBA新赛季东部第一周的“周最佳”球员！
In fact, in terms of statistics, he is not the best one.

McGrady's 32.1 points per game exploded much more than him, but the Magic's record of 1 win and 3 losses was completely out of sight.

To put it simply, the eastern star has better data than Juwan, but the team's record is not as good as him; the team's record can catch up with the Celtics, but the data is not as good as him.

And considering that the Celtics are rebuilding the team, it is not easy to be able to play such data and team record.In particular, he also hit a "triple double".

It's normal to give him this "best of the week".

The main reason why it is a bit beyond everyone's expectations is that since Shaq O'Neal, no rookie can win the "Player of the Week" in the first week of entering the league!
Compared with O'Neal's average of 24 plus 13 plus 3 in the first week, Juwan's data is somewhat different. Everyone did not forget the aspect of "the best week in the Eastern Conference" at the beginning.

It can be described as "unexpected, but also within reason"!
In the Northeast dialect, it's Laotie's award...it's okay to win it!
The outside media directly exploded the pot.

There is a Hong Kong sentence, except for free throws, almost all other serious records that can be related to Shaquille O'Neal can be described as "beautiful"!

Including getting the "Best of the Week Award" in the first week after entering the league, this is something that Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan have never done!
"Comparable to O'Neal, this bird flew as soon as it entered the league!" "—ESPN;

"The best of the first week of the new season, this second generation of Larry Bird is a bit fierce! - "Sports Illustrated";
"Boston's New Cornerstone, "Cardinal" Gamble Successfully? "—"Bleachers";
Therefore, all the media leaders boasted very hard.

Not to mention other small media!

And Boston's own media even exaggerated Juwan.

By the way, he flattered the "Cardinal": "Even though he has been away from the league for four or five years, Auerbach's eyes are always so vicious. You can always trust the Cardinal!"

In a word, Auerbach "forever drops God"!
No, even the "Bleacher" who ridiculed him before quietly apologized in the latest issue of the article.

As for Auerbach, he just smiled and still did not accept any interviews.

Let the bullets fly a little longer!

He believes that Zhu Wanneng will bring more surprises than these...

Domestic fans also exploded because Zhu Wan took a "best of the week" as soon as he entered the league!

Is this too violent?

Dayao hasn't won a "Best of the Week" in a season. This guy got one as soon as he entered the league?
Are college students really so fierce?
Many fans suddenly remembered that the NCAA that Zhu Wan played before is equivalent to the domestic CUBA...

Since Zhu Wan had a bloody fight in that league, he won the "Best of the Week" as soon as he entered the NBA.The players who have killed bloody storms in the CUBA, can they just enter the CBA...

I have a plan to make Huaxia basketball to glory!

Caron Butler also sent him a congratulatory text message that night. Like Yao Ming, he has not won the "Player of the Week Award" in his second season in the league.

In addition, Okafor and Gordon also sent congratulatory text messages.

The new NCAA season has also started in the past two days. Zhu Wan asked about the team's situation. This year, Connecticut, as before, has recruited "Browless Hero" Villanueva, and its strength is still strong.

Their goal this year is to defend their title!

However, this is not easy, so far only Duke has accomplished such an achievement in the NCAA.

No other giants have been able to do this!
If Okafor and the three of them can do this this year, it will definitely give Connecticut a deeper foundation in the NCAA.

For Okafor and the others, it is also a proof of their strength.

After all, Zhou Shuren has always said, "It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country!"

Okafor is very confident: "Man, you just wait for the finals to watch the game live!"

The next day, Barkley, who was announcing the games of other teams, happily discussed with Kenny Smith about Juwan's nickname during the game. This is also a traditional practice in the league.

A slightly famous player will have a well-known nickname.

According to Zhu Wan's fame, he should have had a nickname long ago.

Of course, Barkley's careful thinking is...you can't continue to let others call him "Bird II". If you continue to call him, this will almost become an inherent impression.

As for why Juwan's nickname is discussed when other teams play...don't ask, it's just the commentary style.

So: "What do you think of the nickname Barkley Jr?"

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley's smiling face and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

I muttered in my heart: You really don't hide it!
But he didn't say it out, so as not to be "rammed by a wild pig" by this guy again.

However, he will definitely not agree with the title "Junior Barkley", because the outside world will not agree with it. Everyone says that Juwan is the "second generation of Bird". What do you mean by "Junior Barkley"?
If the "nickname" can't be spread, it's better not to take it.

"I think he can be called Big Yellow Bird!" Kenny Smith pondered for a long time before coming up with such a nickname.

He felt like a good match for Juwan.

Now it was Barkley's turn to roll his eyes: "Yellow bird? I also have a big yellow eagle! Much better than birds!"

Anyway, it can’t be called "Big Yellow Bird". My successor to Barkley must be better than Larry Bird!

Larry Bird... he was locked by me, don't you know?

He was making complaints here. After Kenny Smith said this, he suddenly remembered that there was a civilian sports car called Pontiac that was popular in the United States in the 80s. One of his sports cars had a golden bird logo. what do you say that is?

It's called... Firebird!
correct!

"Or, call him Fire Bird!"

Kenny Smith spoke, he had a hunch that this nickname would become popular!
Barkley's eyes also brightened: "Firebird, that is, put a big bird on the fire and roast it, it's scorched! Please, please, please!"

Anyway, as long as he is better than Larry Bird!

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes again speechlessly, what the hell is going on!

However, as expected by Kenny Smith, "Firebird" Juwan was really popular in the league. It was only one night, and when Juwan was mentioned the next day, many media had already used "Firebird" instead. up.

Ju Wan also learned his new nickname the next day.

He is also very satisfied.

But he also knew that this nickname should not last long in China, and it is estimated that it will soon evolve into "Phoenix", "Phoenix" and so on, and maybe it will become "Flame Bird". "Divine Bird"...

Of course, they all sound good.

Zhu Wan is no longer worried.

At least it won't be spoiled like "Bo Huang".

When they arrived in the locker room, Oakley also specially took Tyson Chandler and Chris Anderson to put a salute.

Looking at the colored films flying all over the locker room, Zhu Wan really wanted to ask: Zhou Jiayi will salute cannonballs, what should the best of the month play?
However, after the salute was over, everyone was happy, and Zhu Wan didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the locker room is still very important for a team.

Have fun everyone, it's good!

It's just that after this good news, bad news for the Celtics followed.

First, they lost to the Philadelphia 4ers by 76 points at home.

Larry Brown left and Mutombo was sold. This Eastern Conference team that reached the finals in 01 has actually begun to decline this season.

The current strength is not enough to reach the level of the playoffs. As far as the Celtics' previous performance is concerned, they are capable of fighting against them, and the possibility of even winning them is not small.

But unfortunately, in this game, "Gemini" played very averagely.

Wade had 9 points and 5 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was less than [-]%. This was the only game he didn't score in double figures except for the game against the Magic.

However, he spent too much energy on the offensive end in that game, and it is normal that the offensive end is not open.

This game is obviously a problem with his own state!
12 shots, only hit 4 goals.

Although Zhu Wan scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, his shooting percentage was only 45%. Compared with other rookies, it is good, but compared with his previous average shooting percentage, it is a bit poor.

In addition, he also had 4 turnovers.

The Celtics' winning streak at the beginning of the new season ended at 5 consecutive victories.

Then the Celtics challenged the Kings, currently ranked fourth in the West, in an away game and lost again.

And this time, the score was fixed, and the Celtics lost by as much as 10 points.

Wade's condition is a little bit better than the last game. In the last game, he shot 33.3% from the field. This game has reached 40%. But in this game, he made a total of 5 turnovers!
Among them, the number of passing errors alone reached 3 times...

Zhu Wan's shooting rate returned to more than 50%, and he also scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. However, he also made 3 turnovers. It is only a "small fire" level, then these three mistakes are fatal.

The two-game losing streak came like this.

After this game, some experts sharply pointed out that the "rookie wall" belonging to Boston's "new twin stars" is here!

Don't say anything else.

For example, predicting who will win the championship, these experts will often be beaten in the face, showing the side of "not knowing the ball".

Let's just talk about this aspect.

The eyes of these guys are really vicious!

They were right.

Even Zhu Wan noticed that in the last two games, the opponents have made a lot of changes in their defense against the two of them, especially the defense against Wade.

It may be because the Celtics are holding the ball more often, so the opponent's defensive strategy against him has changed significantly.

First of all, on the defensive end, Wade's unstable shooting characteristics have been thoroughly confirmed, and because of this, opponents often don't defend him closely, which makes it difficult for him to break through.

O'Brien previously helped Wade relieve the pressure to a certain extent by arranging Tyson Chandler and Anderson's pick-and-roll.

But the problem is that neither Tyson Chandler nor Anderson has the ability to shoot from the middle distance. Their end points are both under the basket, so that as long as someone can catch their first step, they can double-team without fear Wade.

In addition, Atkins on the outside is also a No. [-] position that can only be effective when holding the ball, which leads to Wade's only pass to Juwan.

The reason why he missed the pass three times against the Kings was that the opponent observed Zhu Wan's direction in advance, thereby successfully predicting his pass and completing interceptions many times.

The shooting stability is not enough, and the passing line is single. This is the problem that Wade is currently perceived by the opponent.

Only these two points are enough for the opponent to target the effect. Anyway, judging from the past two games, Wade has indeed fallen into a struggle.

This is why everyone said that the team environment was good in Wade's rookie season. In the first year of the season, he had Caron Butler, Odom, and Eddie Jones by his side. They are all multi-functional players. Tou can also help to deal with it, and to a certain extent, cover up his two big problems.

But in the Celtics, Juwan is the only point that can help him cope.

As long as the opponent cuts off, then he is a mistake!
It is foreseeable that Wade will continue to struggle in the next period of time.

These two problems cannot be corrected immediately...

What's more unfortunate is that they also encountered troubles in the schedule. The Celtics, who had previously played a wave of underdogs, will then meet last season's overall runner-up Nets and the regular season's traditionally powerful Mavericks.

Zhu Wan could already see the result, and it was bound to be another two-game losing streak...

That's a four-game losing streak.

He actually wanted to change his formation, but after thinking about it, he still needed to wait.

As a result, as he expected, in these two games, there was no resistance, and they were disarmed.

The Celtics suffered a 4-game losing streak!

After 5 consecutive victories, they suffered 4 consecutive losses.

The voice of sarcasm from the outside suddenly became louder:
"The days of the Celtics are over!"

"This team's hole cards have been figured out, and it will be difficult for them to be as strong as they were at the beginning of the season!"

"Zhu Wan should know by now, in this league, the first thing to learn is to lose!"

However, at the same time as various sarcasms from the outside world are coming out frequently, Auerbach, who has been silent all the time, has frequently appeared in the arena for interviews these days:

"For a rebuilding team, ups and downs are normal!"

"We are still in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. What does that mean? It means that we are still better than most teams in the Eastern Conference!"

"Encountering the rookie wall is a matter of time for Juwan and Dwyane. Hitting the rookie wall so soon is enough to show that other teams value them. I look forward to their transformation!"

Although these consecutive words did not dampen the sarcasm from the outside world—after all, Zhu Wan was indeed a bit too flattered before, and the current situation can be said to be a backlash.

But in fact, Zhu Wan's performance in these four games is actually not bad, averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1 steal and 1.25 blocks. The shrinkage is not too big. As for the number of assists, the decline is indeed obvious, but to be honest, Zhu Wan averaged 4 assists to Wade in the first 4 games, and only 1.5 in these few games.

In Wade's four games, when his field goal percentage was only 38.7%, you really can't tell whether Juwan's own data has shrunk, or Wade's state has dragged down Juwan's assists...

But the outside media don't think so much, they only know that the opportunity to ridicule has come!

However, after the "Cardinal" finished speaking, the Boston local media had a lot more patience and did not criticize. Most of the reports were analyzing the Celtics' current lineup problems, as well as Juwan and Wade. The situation of the two players on the field, of course, compared to the outside world, they can pay more attention to the performance of the two rookies, so they also know that compared to Zhu Wan, Wade hits the "rookie wall" really hard!

Therefore, more are analyzing Wade's problems.

However, after analysis and analysis, the biggest problems are those two aspects: insufficient shooting stability and single passing route.

Wade is also training during this time.

The basket was almost deformed by him...

Shooting is like this, the more you try to get better quickly, the worse you get.

Just like Simmons later, his free throw posture was as stiff as throwing a shot put. Can you say this is the result of special training?
So Zhu Wan also comforted him: "Take your time, don't worry!"

In addition, Zhu Wan also formally made up his mind, it's time for a change!
It's not a problem to keep losing like this, the team's morale has been wiped out.

Just like the game against the Mavericks, in fact, until the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Celtics could occasionally lead by 1 point, but the opponent suddenly played a wave of 7-0 scoring Afterwards, the Celtics seemed like they couldn't play anymore. The team began to collapse, and had no choice but to suffer a 4-game losing streak.

This is the performance of the team's lack of enthusiasm.

It is also the biggest difficulty for a team to rebuild!

Can you say that there was a problem with the Timberwolves' reconstruction strategy later?

"Big Mouth Mamba" and Towns are both ceiling-level talents, but why can't they make it to the playoffs every year?
But when Jimmy Butler came, he immediately entered the playoffs!

Isn't it just a matter of mentality?
Resilient teams are not necessarily powerful, but the characteristic that a strong team must have is tenacity!
So the Celtics can no longer lose.

"In the next game, I will hold the ball. Dude, you should run more without the ball, try to kill more inside, and show your impact on the basket!"

Swapping roles with Wade, let him hold the ball, and Wade runs open, which is Juwan's evolution.

After all, after he holds the ball, he has a much better pass view than Wade.

Speaking of which, this is the gap between Juwan and Larry Bird. The latter has averaged 6 assists per game in his career, but rarely holds the ball. His one-handed "point pass" is the same as Heizi's basketball. Just right.

Compared with Zhu Wan's support pass, there is a big gap.

Although it is also related to the big problem with teammates shooting.

However, since he is working with Wade, a guy who can play the best role with the ball, Juwan feels that it is necessary to look for Larry Bird's previous game videos.

It just so happens that this is the Celtics, Larry Bird's home team, and there may be many unpublished "small videos" of Larry Bird in the video room.

Of course, the top priority now is to end the four-game losing streak.

Can't lose anymore!
It just so happens that the strength of the opponent in the next game has weakened, and the team is also rebuilding, which is a good opportunity!
That's why Zhu Wan thought about waiting...

In fact, changing the lineup can change as much as you want. Wade is still very understanding. Later, the carry in the finals was like that. In the second year, the core position was also given up?
Not to mention, now he's still "crazy".

But if the Celtics continue to lose after the change, it will be a big blow to the team's morale!
Therefore, in the first two games between the Nets and the Mavericks, he did not change his lineup because he was not sure of winning...

But in the next game, against the Miami Heat, a team that is rebuilding just like them, he will be more confident!

However, I am really embarrassed to rely on "Gua Ge" to find the place every time~
But brother can't help it. It's been a bit sad recently.

I can only find my brother to "suck" a mouthful!

And while Zhu Wan went to Miami with the team.

At the American Airlines Arena, Carmelo Anthony is also sweating profusely on the training ground in a hoodie.At this moment, there are no other Heat players in the arena, including the staff, who have almost left.

Obviously, he is practicing more!

Not for anything else, just for this game against the Celtics.

This will be his first matchup with Juwan since entering the NBA.

He has been looking forward to it for a long time.

The revenge of being swept by the NCAA, this time I must avenge it!

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Carmelo Anthony, who has been warming up for a long time, is obviously feeling better at this moment, and he is shooting all kinds of shots in succession, and the flames in his eyes become more and more hot with the sound of basketball slapping the net!
The outside world is also very concerned about the first encounter between the second pick in the first round of 03 and the fourth pick in the first round in the NBA.

This can be seen from the fact that on the day of the game, the Celtics bus was made dumplings by the reporters just outside the American Airlines Arena.

The attention is really high!
No wonder, after all, this game is officially certified by the NBA as "Today's Focus Game"!
So far in the new season, Zhu Wan is undoubtedly the most popular guy in the golden generation of 03. Even though the Celtics have just suffered a 4-game losing streak recently, so far, his average data per game is still maintained at 18.88 points per game 8 rebounds, 6.75 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.25 blocks.During the period, he also won the "Best of the Week" and a "Triple Double".

It's just that in the "03 generation", his performance is not enough to cover up the light of everyone else.

As the former "peerless double pride" Carmelo Anthony has averaged 21.5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.2 steals per game since he entered the league. The data is not worse than him.

Among them, the offensive firepower of 4 consecutive games was maintained at more than 20 points, which fully demonstrated his super offensive and immediate combat power!
In addition, the hope of Cleveland's revival, LeBron James is currently averaging 19.9 points, 4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game. The same data is not bad...

To say that this "Generation 03" is worthy of the draft, after all, among the rookies in previous years, if one of the rookies in the previous years can play similar data to one of the three, they are all stable "best rookies".

Yao Ming, who won the "Best Rookie" last season, only had 14 plus 8.

So these days, fans have been scrambling over the topic of "Which of these three can get the best rookie of the year".

Not to mention the start of the season, why did they decide so quickly that the "Best Rookie" appeared on the three of them.

Before the draft, the three of them were the three most discussed people in the 03 draft!
What's more, other rookies, the best performers, such as Wade 13 plus 4 plus 3, Chris Bosh 14 plus 7... There is a certain gap in performance between them.

Even if he works hard in the later stage, he will be brushed down in the comparison with these three people because of the large ups and downs in the early stage.

Therefore, despite the fact that the new season has only started half a month ago, in fact, regarding the competition for the "best rookie", these three people are already at the forefront, and they have opened up a big gap with the others!

The attention from the outside world also made this match seem like a duel between two superstars...

Well, if we only talk about the popularity, this game has indeed reached that level, because the night before the game, the NBA official temporarily notified that the game will be changed to "National Live Broadcast"!
Generally speaking, only very popular games will enjoy such treatment.

For example, the first "National Live Broadcast" of the Celtics this season was the "China Derby" where Zhu Wan and Yao Ming met.

Now the encounter between Juwan and Carmelo Anthony has aroused similar enthusiasm.

You have to do well!

If they lose, they may not even get the "Best Rookie"...

Zhu Wan must have plans for the "Best Rookie Award". If a rookie does not aim for the "Best Rookie Award", what is the difference from a salted fish?
And with the similar data of the three of them, the duel between them has become a very influential factor.

Zhu Wan couldn't help but not pay attention to it.

If Carmelo Anthony and the Heat are defeated under the watchful eyes of fans across the country, then he should be able to lead by a long distance in comparison with Carmelo Anthony.

After all, don't forget that in the NCAA, Zhu Wan had already led the team to sweep Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse University!

Fans have stereotypes.

Although this is the first time Juwan and Carmelo Anthony have met in the NBA in their careers, after he wins, the fans will definitely say: "Juwan won again, and Carmelo Anthony lost again!"

Pay attention to the word "again"!

When it comes time to judge the "Best Rookie", it will definitely affect the votes of the reporters!
Just temporarily changing it to "National Live Streaming" is not without harm.

As far as the Celtics' current four-game losing streak is concerned, the whole team was already highly nervous, but now they are playing under the watchful eyes of fans across the country, so it is destined to only become more nervous.

This can be seen from the atmosphere in the locker room before the game.

No one is fussing anymore...

Zhu Wan frowned slightly, and glanced at Oakley. "Old Oak" understood, and then the two stood up, and put a "horse kill chicken" on everyone's back. The most nervous Wade, the two of them Along the way, a set of "Three Flies" came, and they groaned in pain.

But the atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

Zhu Wan said loudly: "Guys, don't think too much, just do it!"

At that time, the lyrics of "The Lonely Brave" came to Zhu Wan's mind: Do you choose, do you match, this vn's... Ah bah, no, is it a war?O war, with the humblest dream!

It's really in line with the current Celtics.

If they want to get rid of the current situation, they can only fight with their backs in this game.

If it still loses, the atmosphere of the Celtics will become even worse...

But the Heat team with Carmelo Anthony, coupled with the "National Live Broadcast" treatment, is destined to be not a good bone!

Zhu Wan believes that in this game, under the leadership of Carmelo Anthony, the opponent must also show the courage of "the will to fall into the battle, life or death"!

"Hey, Zhu Wan, it's been a long time. We finally met again. Remember Rock Park? Yes, yes, I guessed it was you at the time. I didn't expect that we would meet in the NBA so soon. I am I've been looking forward to you for a long time!"

Uh, well, Zhu Wan seems to have guessed wrong...

It seems that someone on the other side didn't take this game seriously.

Juwan looked at Odom who came to greet him warmly as soon as he entered the field.

More or less uncomfortable...

This is too enthusiastic, right?
Although he also knows that Odom has always been a member of his "Alliance Kua Kua Group".

But, uh, um... I really didn't expect it!

Carmelo Anthony looked at this scene and was a little speechless. He just cheered up in the locker room, but this guy seemed to have ignored what he said.

Unexpectedly!

We also hit: a traitor was found.

Ok?
Why do I say "also"?
The game then officially started.

After discussing with Wade about changing his style of play, Juwan shared his thoughts with O'Brien, which was agreed by the latter. In the past two days, the Celtics have also been practicing around Juwan holding the ball. tactics.

But for Atkins, there is not much difference. After receiving Tyson Chandler's jump ball, he dribbled the ball halfway, gave the ball to Juwan, and then stood aside. .

Hmm... Whether it's Juwan holding the ball or Wade holding the ball, for him, it's enough to hand over the ball after halftime!

The Heat were obviously stunned. The defensive lineup against Wade became a little confused as Wade sank to the bottom corner. Juwan held the ball at the top of the arc, and suddenly a lob was thrown to the basket by Tyson Chandler. Alley dunk.

"Bah!"

At the beginning, there was the sound of a strong slam dunk, and the originally noisy scene in the American Airlines Arena suddenly fell silent.

"Nice!"

Tyson Chandler yells back on defense.

Zhu Wan gave the ball too comfortably.

Afterwards, Zhu Wan followed the same pattern and assisted Anderson in the next round to complete the score with an air cut.

As soon as it came up, the Celtics played 4-0.

The Heat currently have 9 wins and 5 losses in 4 games, which is the same as the current record of the Celtics. Their starting five are Ralph Alston, Eddie Jones, Carmelo Anthony, Brian Grant and Odom...

Yes, there is no passing center in this lineup. The 2-meter Odom and the 08-meter Granger supported the Heat's inside line.

This is very typical "small ball play".

Of course, this is indeed in line with the vision put forward by Pat Riley. He believes that the future trend of the league will become five guys with a height of 5 meters passing each other to attack each other on the field, using speed and defensive counterattack to win the game.

This is the so-called "location blurring".

It has to be said that Pat Riley's forward-looking is indeed one of the best in the league.

The future trend of basketball has indeed become the "small ball" version as he expected.

Fast break is the main theme of the game.

But the future trend of the league does not represent the present. For the current "traditional center" version, the Heat's interior height is obviously not enough.

Even though the 2-meter Chris Anderson and the 08-meter Tyson Chandler do not have the ability to play singles with the ball, their excellent physical fitness allows them to easily gain air supremacy.

As long as Juwan passes the ball well, the Celtics will become "the city of lobs" in seconds!
This is the style of play that Zhu Wan thought of before the game, and the offense in the first two rounds of the game also proved that his style of play is feasible.

After these two dunks, the Heat, which was already a bit confused, became more chaotic.

Stan Van Gundy roared beside him.

The nickname of "Roaring Emperor" is really well-deserved.

But in exchange for his roar, the Heat continued to hit the iron in the next attack.

Zhu Wan protected the rebound by himself.

Quickly advance beyond the three-point line.

Carmelo Anthony rushed over immediately, wanting to defend closely.

The outside world is saying that Zhu Wan's explosive power is actually better than his statistics show, and he didn't use his full strength during the joint trial training. He can be said to scoff at this statement.

Didn't you fight him in college for bullying me?

He had an ass explosion.

If he really runs 100 meters, I can let him run 5 meters first!
But in the second when he rushed forward, he only felt a "squeak" in front of him, and Zhu Wanwan was gone.

Turning his head, the latter was already ready to shoot.

Step by step!

I was actually passed by this guy?
Carmelo Anthony was shocked in all kinds of ways, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed towards Zhu Wan.

And in front of Zhuwan, Grant also made up for it.

The "small lineup" has the advantage of high mobility and strong defensive ability.

Speaking of which, the original Heat's ability to finally rank fourth in the Eastern Conference this season has a lot to do with the opponent's inability to adapt to this kind of quick defense.

How have players in the "traditional center era" seen this before!
But Zhu Wan had watched the "small ball era" game, so he knew that the opponent would make up for it immediately. He jumped up a false throw and passed the ball from Grant's side.

Wade flashed past there, grabbed the ball, then rushed straight to the basket, charged up with one leg, jumped high, and smashed the ball into the basket with a "Tomahawk dunk".

"Bah!"

The third buckle in a row!
In the ESPN studio, Bill Walton bluntly said: "The Heat's basket will be retired early tonight!"

This is deducted too often.

After the joke, he also formally analyzed the tactics of the Celtics tonight: "Juwan replaced Dwyane as the Celtics' ball-holding point. Although he does not have Dwyane's breakthrough ability, he His overall vision and passing ability are obviously much better than Wade's. Dwyane really can't pass the ball suddenly lobbed at the top of the arc, but he can notice it and send it to his teammates beautifully!"

"In addition, Wade has strengthened running without the ball. Although his shooting stability is not enough, his ability to cut air and the impact on the basket after running is not comparable to that of ordinary guards. This shot like Eddie Jones The veteran flank defenders couldn't block it, and the impact is really extraordinary!"

Zhu Wan just didn't hear Bill Wharton's analysis, otherwise he would definitely give a thumbs up, the analysis is too good.

I can't thank you enough!
In this way, the evolution is estimated to take less than a few days! ——All are analyzed, and the speed of other teams adapting will naturally be faster...

However, Zhu Wan didn't expect this set of changes to be useful all the time. He could win tonight's game and end his losing streak!
So far, they seem to be off to a good start.

Bill Walton continued to analyze: "The Heat were obviously messed up by the Celtics' change of formation. The first two failures inside gave the Celtics a chance to lob the ball because they did not adjust their formation in time. "

"At this time, the Heat, rather than defending their opponents, want to stabilize the situation. They need one person to stand up and score, or stop the Celtics' offense as soon as possible!"

He proposed two approaches.

Carmelo Anthony came directly to catch the ball after Alston dribbled the ball across the center line this time.

Obviously the Heat chose the first option.

The Celtics posted Anthony is Wade.

Zhu Wan had to hold the ball in this game, so naturally he couldn't defend Anthony.

And in terms of physical fitness, Wade is the best first line of defense against Anthony.

Zhu Wan's long arms are more suitable for supplementary defense.

Anthony's "three threats" started.

This is the guy's signature opening move.

Wade held one hand in front of him, and opened the other hand, his whole body was stuck on the right breakthrough route, and he stepped on small steps.

This can be regarded as a standard action to deal with the "three threats".

But Anthony didn't hesitate when he saw this, he dribbled the ball to the left, and at the same time crossed to the left, which was the opposite direction of Ju Wan's position.

Seeing that Wade just followed like this, he didn't mean to block his left side. At this time, he took a step forward with his right foot. Wade was half a body away from him, so he successfully rushed to the basket with this step. Down.

Facing Anderson's supplementary defense, he stuck to the latter, turned around in a "roller style" to the front of the basket, and released the ball in an action similar to a straight-armed small throw.

"Swish"

The ball enters the net hollow.

2-6!

The Heat finally scored their first goal of the field.

There were also huge cheers at the scene.

Wade gritted his teeth and returned to defense, with some helplessness in his eyes.

He couldn't help it just now, his steps were smaller than Anthony's, which made Anthony move a larger distance in the cross step, but if he intercepted in advance, this guy directly pulled the ball back to the original place, and he could also make a shot.

Or how to say it is "offensive kaleidoscope"!

This guy "triple threat" starts, "triple threat" dribbles, "triple threat" shot... Anyway, it's all kinds of "triple threats."

This attack is full of details!

Stan Van Gundy also hurried to find water to drink at this time.

Finally, there was a round where he didn't have to growl, and he had to moisten his throat well.
