Chapter 423 Miami's Nemesis
The game between the Heat and the Legends also attracted Chris' attention. He was not surprised by the ending, but felt that the Heat could actually win more points.

"If it were us, we could win by at least 40 points. I really don't understand how the Heat won by 14 points." The Nets player said.

"Don't forget, they let a player go." Chris maintained his usual calmness, and he was very clear about the reasons for this situation.

The players that the Heat let go are the number one core of the team. To be precise, the Heat play with 1.5 cores. After all, Mu Chenfeng's level can only be regarded as "half a giant", and his role in the team is far less than that of Wade and Barrett.

"This Heat team is at least halved in terms of strength." This is what Wade means to the Heat. Without Wade, the Heat are just another team.

"A half discount? I don't think so." Someone in the team had a different voice, "This is a street court. Wade has never even played street ball. Even if he plays, he may not be able to play a key role in the team."

Chris shook his head lightly, "A truly strong player will not be greatly discounted because of the different game environments. Whether it is street basketball or NBA games, the goal is to score goals. As long as the goal is there, he must have a way to send the ball into the basket."

Chris's words silenced the entire team. As a player who is amphibious between street basketball and regular basketball, his words carry great weight, and his teammates agreed.

"A battle with the Heat will definitely be a tough battle." Before the game even started, Chris predicted that the process of the game would be difficult.

Although the Nets do not belong to the category of strong teams in terms of record, and their strength is even hovering on the edge of the playoffs, there is always a situation of mutual generation and restraint in the NBA, and the Nets seem to be the "nemesis" of the Heat.

The reason why Brooklyn is called Miami's nemesis is not the true sense of "finish", but that the Nets have the best record among opponents who have played against the Heat in the past few seasons.

In the 17 games that Chris participated in, the Nets even achieved 9 wins and 8 losses. The record is slightly better than the Heat. They are the only player in the league with a "positive" record against the Heat.

In 17 games, Chris averaged 31.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, all of which were higher than his season average.

The phenomenon that once the Heat hit the heat, it is basically confirmed.

Chris entered the NBA from the street court, while Wade played regular basketball since he was a child. The two formed a huge contrast in terms of technical characteristics, but both of them were very talented. Therefore, the league often exaggerated the confrontation between the two.

Some people say that Chris is not playing for the Heat, but Wade.

This seems to be traceable. In the 17 games played by Chris and the Heat, there was only one game where Wade did not participate. It was a game that the Nets thought would be easy to win.

In the whole game, Chris's performance was sluggish. He only made 35 of 15 shots in 4 minutes and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The efficiency value rarely showed a "-" value.

Since then, Chris' ridicule of "targeting" Wade has risen in the league, and it will be mentioned whenever the two teams play against each other.

"I don't know if Wade will play in this game." The teammate deliberately joked.

"Yeah, this is related to the performance of our leader." The teammates turned their attention to Chris.

Chris smiled contemptuously, "Whether he plays or not has nothing to do with me!" His eyes avoided.

The mobilization meeting before this game was actually redundant, because the Nets never needed mobilization to play against the Heat, and the players seemed to know what they should do.

The close record in the past made the atmosphere of the Nets' preparation room very pleasant. However, Chris watched the Heat's game video this season with a tablet alone.

His silence and seriousness were incompatible with the atmosphere in the preparation room.

"What are you thinking about?" Coach Simpson asked when he saw Chris's gloomy face.

"It's nothing." Chris politely pressed the pause button, and the paused screen was the wonderful connection attack between Mu Chenfeng and Barrett.

"These two guys are a bit tricky." Chris' doubts about Simpson are exactly what Simpson is concerned about. The Heat's reinforcements during the offseason were a little too much. Not only did they successfully sign Barrett, they also got super rookie Mu Chenfeng from the draft at a "cabbage price".

In the past, the Nets faced almost all single-core Heat teams. Even if there were star players, those players were of a very old age and had little impact on the game. What they will face next is a Heat youth army. All players are in their prime, and they have only lost two games so far this season.

The Lakers, Celtics, Mavericks, 76ers and other strong teams were all defeated one by one.

Can the Nets end the Heat's winning streak?
"Don't think so much. Don't forget that you are the only player in the league with a "positive" winning percentage against the Heat. You are the real nemesis of the Heat. No matter who the opponent is, you just play at your own pace. This game is not as difficult as you think." Speaking of which, Simpson put a thick stack of materials on the table. These are all about the Heat players.

Simpson's self-confidence gave Chris a lot of help, which also aroused his desire to defeat the "Heat Big Three".

"It's interesting to defeat such an opponent." Chris said firmly.

"Of course." Simpson can always hit it off with the players, even though their lineup has fallen behind the Heat, but as long as Chris' self-confidence at this point is activated, the suspense of the game still exists.

"I hope to defeat the Big Three of the Heat with you." Chris walked up to the players and said to all the players, "I hate draws, we want to lead the Heat in record!"

The "9:9" record has been maintained for long enough, it's time for a change.

The Heat also have the same idea as the Nets. Chris is the only bargaining chip for the Nets to win, so the Heat's pre-match arrangements are mainly aimed at Chris, and the heavy responsibility of defending him falls on Barrett.
