Chapter 48 First Battle ([-])

As the head coach, Carlisle naturally knew where the Pacers' animals went to waste last night. In fact, if it was in the regular season, he would have banned it.

It's a pity that this is just an insignificant preseason game. He is not even ready to let the main players such as O'Neal and Artest play more than 20 minutes of the game.

In other words, it's show time for the bench and rookies.

Seeing Yang Di and Wade's outstanding performance before, he suddenly remembered that the Pacers also selected a player in the second round of this year's draft.

"James." Carlisle called out his name softly to the scrawny young player in the seat.

"Yes, coach, I'm here." James Jones immediately stood up. He is an older rookie at the age of 23. He can't wait to see Yang Di and Wade, who are younger than him, have already appeared on the stage.

"Go to the game, come on." Carlisle was about to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he found that he really didn't know much about his players. In fact, Larry Bird invited him to coach the Pacers. The goal is the championship, and for young players, it can only be supported occasionally.

James Jones nodded happily and walked onto the court excitedly.

After returning from the timeout, the Heat became a five-man team of Alston, Wade, Rasual Butler, Haslem, and Yang Di, while the Pacers were composed of Fred Jones, Jamison Bradley Ruhl, James Jones, Austin Crocier and Primoz Brezek.

So Yang Di saw that the player he was facing had changed, a European big pyrenes weighing 2 meters and weighing more than 18 kilograms.

Primoz Brezek was the 01th overall rookie in the first round of 27. He is a Slovenian basketball player. His physical condition is very outstanding, and his height and wingspan are definitely ranked high in the NBA.

After playing, the Pacers' first wave of offense was finally transmitted to Brezek on the inside, and Yang Di was firmly stuck behind him.

Brezek dribbled the ball in a low position, his back hit Yang Di's chest, and he hit him with a bulldozer-like force.

Yang Di snorted, his body was floating and his center of gravity was unstable.

At this time, Blaizek turned around halfway, pumped his left foot for support, raised his left hook lightly, and the basketball easily crossed a trajectory and fell into the basket.

With 2 points, the Pacers are 33 points behind 39 to 6.

"Damn, why is it so heavy!" Yang Di felt that the strength of the opponent was not strong, but the advantage of weight and height was too great. Before his strength did not form an absolute advantage, he couldn't stand it at all, but Brezek, like the traditional Like a famous European center forward, he has exquisite technique and soft touch, and his close-range hook shots are as easy as drinking water.

"It's still a bit off."

In Stan Van Gundy's heart, Yang Di has been classified as a substitute player. At least the current Yang Di's ability can only be like this.

The Heat attack, and Alston points to Wade on the outside.

Wade beckoned to Yang Di, and after Yang Di saw it, he ran to Wade's left hand side and made a pick-and-roll cover. Jamison Brewer saw that Yang Di was about to pick-and-roll and immediately stepped forward, ready to block Yang Di's pick-and-roll Find a favorable position before.

At this moment, Wade and Yang Di started at the same time.

Wade dribbled the ball with his right hand and broke through to the right. Yang Di didn't come over to make a pick-and-roll, but turned around and ran to the basket for an air cut.

Jamison Brewer was stunned in an instant. When this guard who was also selected by the Pacers the year before last turned around, Yang Di and Wade turned into two arcs, passing his defense, passing The Pacers' defense.

Big center Blazek followed one step, Wade flew into the air in two steps, facing Crozier who rushed to defend, he made a layup with a low hand.

41 to 33, the Heat lead by 8 points.

"You can still score in this kind of confrontation!" Crozier took a look at Wade. This young guard is not only amazing in physical fitness, but also has a high level of basketball. He doesn't look like a rookie.

The Pacers attacked, and Fred Jones turned to the right in the middle and passed back to the high post Brezek. Brezek passed the ball from the top of the arc and made a pick-and-roll screen for small forward James Jones.In fact, at this time, Rasoul was blocked, and Yang Di didn't make a save. Jones had a chance to shoot, but Jones hesitated slightly.

The opportunity flashed by, and Russell reappeared in front of James Jones.

Jones then transferred to Jamison Brewer on the other side, and Brewer dribbled the ball to break through the side.

Unable to squeeze Wade away, he forced a layup in three big steps, with a very awkward posture, and barely avoided Wade's big hand and threw the ball out.

Just less than ten centimeters away from his hand, Yang Di rushed over from the side and slapped the ball away.

"Good hat!"

"This kid did a good job!"

Odom and others on the bench applauded one after another, and blocking shots is always more exciting.

Yang Di and Wade clapped their hands, and the Pacers' attack time was only 3.8 seconds left.

Afterwards, Brewer served from the sideline, and Fred dribbled through two steps and then made a high jump shot. He missed and the rebound bounced high.

"mine!"

Yang Di roared, and just about to jump up to fight for the ball, a black hand rushed ahead.

Haslem!

Crohill didn't mean to grab the frontcourt rebounds. Haslem didn't go to the block and occupied a better position than Yang Di. Yang Di failed to grab the backcourt because of the tall Brezek. rebound.

"This"

When the game between the two teams was less than 2 minutes away from the end of the second quarter, Yang Di finally grabbed the second rebound of the game, but it was still an offensive rebound. After Rasoul missed a mid-range jumper , was snatched by Yang Di.

Yang Di passed back to Wade on the outside, and Wade made a gesture to slow down the rhythm.

Then it was a pick-and-roll attack again, passing the defensive player with one step, and sprinting into the inside line, Yang Di made a catching gesture with both hands, and made an air cut from the middle with small steps.

Wade hit the ground with a pass, and Yang Di caught the ball and took a straight step. When Brezek and Crohill, who had lost their positions, turned their heads, Yang Di had already stepped outside the penalty area and took off.

With a sound of "bang dang", he completed another one-handed split buckle that shocked everyone.

At this time, the Heat led the Pacers by exactly 46 points 36 to 10.

After several waves of offense, both sides failed to achieve success. Before the end of midfield, Yang Di finally grabbed a backcourt rebound, which was a technical statistic from his wolf-like teammates!
"It's okay, our lads played well in the first half."

Local Miami TV, which broadcast the game, gave the home team a positive review.

A host said with a smile: "The main reason is Dwyane Wade. He has practiced in college for three years. He is really extraordinary. He performed outstandingly as soon as he came on the court. He scored 9 points on 6 of 14 shots in the first half." , one of the best performances of any player."

Another host went on to praise Yang Di's performance: "There is also the second-round pick we selected. He scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block. Although the statistics are quite satisfactory, I was very impressed with his first slam dunk. , like a tiger out of the gate, ferocious."

"The key is that he doesn't lose in the confrontation with taller and stronger second-year or third-year students."

"That's right, although the defensive choices in the low post are a bit bad, overall, they are very good. I am now looking forward to their performance in the regular season."

"In comparison, the Pacers' rookie James Jones performed poorly. He looked as thin as a bamboo pole. He only performed back and forth runs in 6 minutes of playing time. He couldn't defend and didn't contribute to offense."

The two hosts said with a smile, this is the first irrelevant preseason game, but they have already begun to sing praises for the Heat's golden operator Pat Riley.
