I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 74 The Opening Game Begins

The next day, the Mavericks tactical conference room.

Old Nelson asked his assistant to distribute the collected information to each player.

"This is the list of players for the Heat this year. It contains their detailed information and technical characteristics. I don't expect you to write them all down, but the main players and rotation roles must be kept in mind. I don't want the chain to be lost in the first regular season."

After the old Nelson finished speaking, he motioned the players to check the information for half an hour, and then explained in detail and arranged offensive and defensive tactics.

Li Xuan took a quick look at the information and obtained some useful information.

Regardless of the fact that last season the Heat were still a big team competing for the No. [-] pick, in Li Xuan's memory in his previous life, this season the Heat made it to the top four in the Eastern Conference, and their strength has undergone tremendous changes.

Eddie Jones, Odom, Wade, Alston, Haslem.
Such a lineup can indeed cause a little trouble for the Mavericks.

By checking the data, Li Xuan found that the Heat still has many shortcomings. After all, this is a team that is being rebuilt.

The biggest weakness of the Heat is inside.

The biggest problem with the inside combination composed of Odom and Brian Grant is shortness!
It is recorded in the data that Odom is 208 centimeters tall, but Li Xuan, as a veteran fan, heard that he seems to be only about 205 centimeters.

False reporting of height in the NBA is actually quite common. Short people report their height as high as possible, and tall people do the opposite, reporting their height as low as possible.

Another insider of the Heat, Brian Grant, is only 206 cm tall.

Neither of the inside twin towers is 210 centimeters tall, which is considered a short inside combination in the NBA.

Nowitzki and Rasu Nesterovic are both over 210 centimeters tall, occupying an absolute height advantage.

Facing the inside combination of Dirk Nowitzki and Rasu Nesterovic, the Heat will definitely suffer.

Although the Heat are very hip inside, their outside strength should not be underestimated.

The perimeter defense composed of Wade, Caron Butler, and Eddie Jones is indeed a bit strong.

But Li Xuan sent him the news through his good brother Wade that the three of them were in conflict, and it was impossible to work together, like loose sand, and it was very easy to break them one by one.

"Dwyane certainly doesn't know that he is now a spy I placed in the Heat. It's a bit cool to think about getting information about the Heat from the core players of the Heat."

After quickly checking the information, Li Xuan closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for old Nelson to explain the tactics. This kind of endorsement project was too simple for him, a god of learning.

Half an hour later, Old Nelson began to explain the strengths and weaknesses of the Heat's core players, and then began to arrange the offensive and defensive tactics for tomorrow's game, assigning corresponding tasks for the players.

……

……

On October 10, the 27-03 NBA regular season kicked off.

The opening game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat will take place at American Airlines Arena, home of the Heat.

At this time, the American Airlines arena was full. Among these fans, most of them were neutral fans. They just wanted to watch Li Xuan and Wade's "brother-fighting" scene, which was very interesting.

In fact, not only domestic people like to watch the excitement, but also foreign countries. There is never a shortage of spectators for this kind of topical competition.

The game tonight was very popular, not only was it broadcast live across the United States, but most countries around the world also got the rights to broadcast it.

Like the Rockets, the Mavericks have also become the home team of fans all over China in the new season. Of course, various broadcasts and news reports must be followed up in real time.

Huaxia Sports Channel started to promote the game a few days ago, allowing fans to pay attention to this focused battle.

At this time, a large number of domestic fans turned on the TV to watch the game. They were very much looking forward to Li Xuan's outstanding performance in this game.

"Hello, viewers! This is the CCTV Sports Channel. We are broadcasting for you the 03-04 NBA regular season match between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat."

"This game will be explained by me and Yu Jia."

In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel, Director Zhang impassionedly introduced the upcoming game.

"Director Zhang, which team do you think will win the game?" Yu Jia asked.

Director Zhang smiled and replied, "I will choose the Dallas Mavericks for both public and private purposes."

"Well, can Director Zhang give us an analysis of the reason?"

"Yu Gong, the Mavericks made it to the Western Conference Finals last season. The team lineup has not undergone major changes and has been further strengthened. However, the Heat ranked last last season. Many newcomers were added to the team lineup. The relationship between players The degree of tacit understanding may not be very high, and it is easy to cause mistakes. In contrast, the Mavericks have a higher chance of winning.

In private, let alone, of course I support our own players. "

"Thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful analysis, the game is about to start, we will wait and see!"

After Yu Jia finished speaking, the camera switched to the playing field, where players from both sides could be seen doing warm-up activities.

At the same time, in the studio hall of TNT TV station.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, the gold medal commentary partner, are commenting on the game.

"Charles, I noticed that you were a bit reluctant to explain Li's game. Are you still thinking about betting?" Kenny Smith laughed.

Don't remind me if it's okay, this guy just wants to see me make a fool of myself, it seems that he can't escape the punishment of kissing a donkey's ass.

Barkley responded depressedly: "I would like to admit defeat. I will not cheat. The staff has prepared the props. After the game starts, I will fulfill the bet."

"Hahaha, this time I want to take a photo as a souvenir. Last time I forgot that there was no evidence left, which made me depressed for a long time. I didn't expect you to really give me a chance. I won't miss it again." Kenny -Smith laughs.

"Kenny, let's stop this topic, let's talk about this game." Barkley shrewdly changed the topic quickly.

"Well, this game is the first time Lee and Dwyane meet, who do you think will win." Kenny Smith asked.

"As for the team, the Mavericks are stronger. The Mavericks must win. Personally, Wade may be better than Lee in terms of statistics." Barkley responded without hesitation.

"Okay then, the game is about to start, let's see if your prediction is accurate." Kenny Smith finished speaking and focused his gaze on the playing field.

On the playing field, players from both sides were doing warm-up activities, and Wade swaggered towards the Mavericks half.

He knew that although he and Li Xuan were not the key players in determining the outcome of this match, the focus of the match was mainly on them, and it was very easy to gain exposure and popularity in such a scene.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of countless cameras and reporters, Li Xuan hugged Wade.

"Brother, I will not show mercy, be ready to be crushed."

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Wade returned to the Heat's half court to continue warm-up activities after finishing his harsh words.

After a while, the players from both sides returned to the bench after completing the warm-up activities. The starting players were ready to play, and the battle was about to start!
