I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 202 Fighting the Heat Again
The next game of the Mavericks is still at home, and it is still a hard battle. They are about to face the challenge of the Miami Heat!
The Mavericks have already played against Miami once this season and won, and it was the latter who defeated the Big Three when they gradually found a tacit understanding of cooperation.

So Carlisle didn't pay much attention to this game.

He even rested the two main players, Sean Marion and Jason Kidd.

In the last game against the Thunder, these two were tormented enough by Westbrook and Kevin Durant, and there was a physical crisis at one point. In Carlisle's view, only two days of rest time could not allow these two veterans to get enough rest. Simply let these two guys take turns!
Fortunately, this game was not broadcast live across the United States. Although TNT and several other sports platforms broadcast the game, as long as it was not broadcast nationwide, Carlisle would not be fined for resting the main players like Popovich.

However, while Carlisle doesn't take it seriously, fans are interested.

As the cooperation between the Big Three became more mature, the Heat became more and more powerful. Whenever the teams that defeated the Heat at the beginning of the season met again recently, they were all avenged by the Heat, which is a bit like "Avengers"!

And in the constant "revenge", the Heat also unknowingly climbed to the third position in the East, only 3 wins away from the second place, and only 5 wins away from the first place.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the focus of the fans today. The fans just want to see if the Heat can complete their "revenge" against the Mavericks, who are currently the league's number one record

In a sense, only after "revenging" the Mavericks, did these fans admit that the Heat are back on track.

Lin Yang received a gift from Wade before the game - the No. [-] jersey of the Heat!
This is what Lin Yang asked Wade after the game last time. At that time, Wade readily agreed that the latter would bring it to him when he came to Dallas.

Lin Yang didn't expect that Wade really remembered this matter.

As expected of an idol!
Lin Yang looked at Wade's signature on the jersey, and silently praised Wade in his heart.

……

After receiving the jersey, Lin Yang was greatly encouraged. He started the game instead of Kidd, who was resting. He scored two goals at the beginning of the game, a two-pointer and a three-pointer.

You must know that this is not Lin Yang who turned on the "feeling hot", this is just Lin Yang in normal state.

But facing Chalmers, Lin Yang played very actively and energetic tonight!

Wade: ...

That's why I sent you the jersey?
The Heat began to exert force in the 6th minute of the opening. LeBron and Wade used their personal abilities to score consecutively, helping the Heat to close the score to 15-16.

Only one point behind.

When Carlisle saw the situation, he immediately asked the Mavericks players to defend the zone.

LeBron and Wade are both good breakthrough players, but their shooting ability is much worse than their breakthrough ability. At this time, defending the zone defense is the best way.

Head coaches in many leagues don't like or even hate using the zone.

But Carlisle is not on this list. As a fan of Popovich, he only sees when this tactic is useful, not whether it should be used or not!

Since it is a tactic, why worry about whether it should be used or not?

The effect of the Mavericks' zone defense came out quickly.

The efficiency of LeBron and Wade began to decline.

Nowitzki stood up at this time, facing Chris Bosh, and made consecutive strong hits.

The score difference came to 6 points again.

Chris Bosh felt bitter in his heart. He could imagine what would happen to him after the game, and he would definitely be scolded like hell!

"You shouldn't have signed Chris, can this guy be considered a giant?"

"It is recommended to trade Chris Bosh quickly, this guy does not deserve such a salary!"

"The power forward gap is too big! Most importantly, Jason Kidd and Sean Marion haven't played yet! Damn it! Chris Bosh, can you be tougher?"

Bosh obviously thinks too much about the world. The Heat fans who watched the live broadcast didn't wait until the end of the game to start complaining about him, but began to complain about Bosh when Nowitzki scored the first goal, especially the Heat fans. They directly began to "persuade" Parklei to trade Bosh!

They couldn't help but be angry. You must know that the Mavericks didn't even bring out all the main players in this game. Jason Kidd and Sean Marion were still sitting on the bench!Under such circumstances, the Heat are still behind the Mavericks, how can this make Heat fans calm.

In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, the Mavericks unknowingly led by 9 points.

However, the 9-point difference was gradually caught up by the Heat in the following time.

The disadvantages of the Mavericks' rotation veterans began to appear. After Lin Yang sat off the court to rest, the Mavericks did not have a reliable commander during the rotation. Naturally, Jason Terry and Caron Butler were no match for LeBron James. Well, LeBron James, who has no psychological burden, must be stronger than Jason Terry and Caron Butler!
There is one thing to say, LeBron James, who returned to the Cavaliers mode, did play more freely, with 4 points and 3 assists, helping the Heat easily tie the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams fought to a 29-29 tie.

"LeBron is really amazing. He can play such a good effect with a substitute!"

"Chris should really reflect on himself! Why is he not as good as these role players!"

"Hurry up and trade Chris Bosh!"

"Who can tell me who else in the league can do what LeBron James has done?"

LeBron James forcibly exerted his strength and pulled the point difference back with his own strength, which also made countless Heat fans sigh.

There is one thing to say, LeBron James' ability to control the rhythm of the game in 11 years can be called the first in the league.

Hmm...just for the regular season!
It can be seen that Carlisle really didn't take this game seriously. Being led by LeBron James to tie the score did not make him feel any sense of crisis. He still pulled out the rotation lineup and let Caron Butler and Jason Terry continue to play.

He wants Dirk Nowitzki to rest for a while, the latter played too hard in the first quarter, just rest for a while!

As for how many points the main players will fall behind after they play, Carlisle really doesn't care about it. Just looking at the situation before the rotation in the first quarter, it can be seen that the Heat are still a little short of catching up with them.
