Chapter 160
With O'Neal and Damon two funny comparisons, the Heat's locker room has never been more harmonious.

time flies.

The preseason starts.

Because Li Lei and Wade both participated in the Olympics, Pat Riley, who came out again as the head coach, did not allow them to play in the preseason.

As for O'Neill, he just found an excuse, so naturally he didn't fight.

He is used to paddling in the regular season, not to mention the preseason.

As a result, the Heat lost all seven preseason games, but no one cared.

It's just that occasionally some media say that the Heat play like this, and the team may be difficult to integrate.

After all, the Heat's changes this summer are not small. More than half of the players have changed, and the head coach has also changed.

2004 11 Month 2 Day.

The 2004-2005 season officially began.

In the opening game of the first day, the league arranged three games.

Kings vs Mavericks.

Mosaic vs Pistons.

Nuggets vs Lakers.

In the end, the Mavericks narrowly beat the Kings, the Pistons took Mosaic lightly, and the Lakers beat the Nuggets.

11 month 3 day.

The Heat ushered in their first game of the season, challenging their old rivals the Nets away.

Although they are old opponents, Martin switched to the Nuggets, Kittles switched to the Clippers, Kidd was seriously injured and underwent surgery, and has not come back so far.

The Heat are not the Heat they were last season.

The Nets are not the Nets of last season.

The Heat go first.

O'Neal, Haslem, Li Lei, Wade, Damon.

Nets:
Center: Collins.

Power Forward: Eric Williams.

Small Forward: Ron Mercer.

Shooting guard: Jefferson.

Point guard: Jacqui Vaughn.

Drip!

Game start.

jump ball.

O'Neal easily crushed Collins and turned the ball back to his home half.

Damon dribbles forward.

In the frontcourt, hand the ball directly to O'Neal.

O'Neill gets the ball.

Collins rushed forward directly, resisting O'Neill with all his strength, with an extremely ferocious expression on his face.

Second only to the queen size.

However, O'Neill turned around... Collins was gone.

On closer inspection, he was knocked out of the baseline by O'Neal.

O'Neill tossed softly.

Swish!
2: 0.

Coach Lawrence Frank was full of helplessness, this was pure crushing!

Q: Why does O'Neill use his body instead of technique?
A: You are not worthy of O'Neill's use of technology.

It is enough to hit you with your body.

The Nets attack.

As soon as Jefferson got the ball, he was followed by Li Lei.

Jefferson tried it, knowing that he couldn't get rid of Li Lei, so he called Collins out for a pick-and-roll.

O'Neal stayed under the basket and didn't come out.

Collins went to the middle distance and made a direct jumper, an unguarded shot.

Swish!
2: 2.

Coach Frank's eyes lit up.

The young O'Neal's defense against pick-and-rolls is not a problem, but now O'Neal is unwilling to come out, and he can't come out.

This is a weakness for the Heat.

You can take a good look at it.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal hit Collins, and after knocking away, he dunked with both hands directly, which was extremely brutal.

boom!
4: 2.

The basketball hoop kept shaking and seemed about to fall down at any moment.

so horrible!

The Nets attack.

Jefferson came to Collins again for a pick-and-roll.

But Li Lei was prepared this time, he squeezed past Collins and continued to keep up with Jefferson.

Jefferson looks for another pick-and-roll.

Collins' second block was of good quality.

Jefferson got his chance, pulled up and shot.

But Li Lei took a big step and walked around Collins.

Li Lei soared into the sky, his two sky-defying long arms sealed off Jefferson's shot space.

Snapped!
Bloody hat.

Coach Frank's face on the sidelines changed. The second-year Li Lei's defensive ability is even more terrifying. He can do so well in defending pick-and-rolls.

And the guy seemed taller and stronger and jumped higher and faster.

O'Neill smiled. With such a little guy around, he shouldn't be too comfortable inside.

"Stone, love tiger oil!"

O'Neill exclaimed without hesitation.

Li Lei grabbed the ball and almost made a mistake when he heard O'Neal's voice.

Finding that Wade has rushed to the midfield with a tacit understanding, Li Lei directly made a long pass.

Wade catches the ball, rides the dust, and dunks with both hands.

boom!
6: 2.

The Nets attack.

Jefferson continued to run the pick-and-roll with Collins.

Jefferson still couldn't get rid of Li Lei, but he was smart and passed the ball to Collins who was running down.

Collins ran to the paint and made a jump shot.

Swish!
6: 4.

Li Lei's defense is very good, but the problem of O'Neal not being able to come out is not so easy to solve.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal got the ball, and Eric Williams rushed over directly.

Double team.

O'Neill quickly points to Haslem on the other side.

Haslem pulled up directly from the middle distance.

Bang!

Haslem started off feeling a bit cold.

However, at this moment, O'Neal stood up from the basket, facing Collins and Eric, and smashed the basketball into the basket.

boom!
The big shark is out of the cage, invincible!
8: 4.

The Nets attack.

Jefferson still has to address the problem that O'Neill can't come out.

At this moment, Pat Riley on the sidelines shouted: "Udonis, you follow!"

Without saying a word, Haslem ran out directly following Collins.

O'Neill can't get out, Haslem is very flexible!

Coach Frank's expression changed.

Only then did I remember: it was not last year's rookie Stan Van Gundy who was facing him, but the veteran Pat Riley.

After Jefferson and Collins were separated, Jefferson passed the ball to Collins again.

Collins wanted to cut to the basket, but was blocked at the free throw line by Haslem.

In this position, Collins has no offensive ability and can only choose to pass the ball.

But at this moment, Li Lei touched from behind and cut off the ball in Collins' hands.

Steal!

The Heat made another fast break, and Wade assisted Damon for a layup.

10: 4.

It was the Nets' offensive round again. Jefferson observed the Heat's defense and was suddenly at a loss.

The pick-and-roll was cracked, and he suddenly couldn't find the Heat's weakness.

The ball passed through the hands of the Nets players, but they still couldn't get a chance.

Nearing 24 seconds, Jefferson still made a forced shot.

Under Li Lei's interference, Jefferson's shot missed.

Bang!

O'Neal received the rebound steadily.

So far, the Nets have no power to resist.

End of first quarter, 28:14.

At halftime, 55:26.

The Heat led by 29 points at halftime.

Coach Frank didn't think much, and directly surrendered.

The two teams played almost the entire second half with substitute players.

In the end, 101:82.

The Heat beat the Nets to get off to a good start to the season.

O'Neal had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Wade had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Damon had 6 points and 4 assists.

Haslem had 5 points and 5 rebounds.

李磊6分3篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。

All the main players only played half of the game, so the data is not good.
