Chapter 563 Complete Heat

"As expected."

Both the Lakers and the Clippers are Los Angeles teams and share the Staples Center, so the grievances between the two teams have arisen since the establishment of the Clippers.

The Lakers have the longest and most glorious team history in the entire NBA, and the Clippers have a history that is not as long as the Lakers and are not as brilliant as them. Therefore, in Los Angeles, the position of the Lakers has always been stable.

In this first-round matchup, because of some of the Clippers' past actions, they lost the hearts of Los Angeles fans. Now the Clippers' support rate is only 5%, while the Lakers' support rate is as high as 95%.

Throughout the series, the Lakers showed strong game control. They beat the Clippers by 98 points in four games and averaged 24.5 points per game. James averaged a "25+11+13" triple-double. No. scorer.

Throughout the series, the Lakers only let the Clippers lead by 1 minute and 15 seconds, and suppressed the Clippers for the rest of the time.

The Lakers' second-round opponent will be between the Nuggets and the Mavericks. After four games, the Mavericks lead their opponents 3-1. They have a great chance to meet the Lakers in the second round.

The Heat had to wait for the winner between the Bucks and the Wizards. They thought the Bucks would win their opponents 4-0, but they didn't expect the Wizards to take a 3-1 lead over the Bucks.

"I didn't expect the Bucks to play so badly this year." Barrett said slowly. Among the imaginary opponents of the Heat, the Bucks and the Nets are the two major opponents for the Heat to rush out of the East. Now the Nets are in a good situation, leading their opponents 3-1. Bing's Washington Wizards.

"No matter who the opponent is, we must win and advance." Gaia and others are very confident, threatening that no matter whether the opponent is the Wizards or the Bucks, it is impossible to stop them from winning the championship.

The Heat submitted the second-round player activation list to the league, and Crowder's name was on the list. This is the first time that the Heat have submitted a complete "16-man" roster in the past three seasons. The previous "vacant" position finally welcomed back his owner.

The Miami Heat are finally in full body mode.

Wade and Mu Chenfeng partnered in the backcourt, small forward Barrett, and Crowder and Gaia guarded the inside.

On the bench are Ralph, Turner, Evans, Williams and a group of experienced and capable players. The complete Heat is worth looking forward to.

This may be the strongest starting lineup in the league, even the Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup is inferior to them.

Submitting the starting list to the league needs to pass the review before it can take effect. Due to Crowder's "joining", the league needs to re-verify and review the lineup.

Crowder "suddenly" appeared on the Heat, which caused quite a reaction among the teams in the league.

"Claude? Who is it?" Some rookies who have just entered the league have no impression of Claude.

"Didn't he "disappear"? Why did he suddenly come back?" The return of a tricky opponent is definitely not good news for some teams that are still in the playoffs. After acquiring Gaia, the Heat's lineup strength has already been raised to the top level of the league. This time, with the addition of a quasi-All-Star-level Crowder, will other teams be allowed to play?

All teams in the league have almost maintained a unified caliber on this matter, that is, objection. It is unreasonable to say that a player who has not even played a game suddenly represents the team in the playoffs.

The league has heard the voices of each team, but the league can't intervene to stop this matter after all, and can only implement it according to the process. The Heat have been "vacant" this spot, and the purpose is to welcome Claude's return at any time. Now this moment has finally come.

Generally speaking, if a team wants to add players outside the roster to the roster, it needs to select a player to replace it with the existing roster. This approval process is very long and takes 2-3 days to complete. At this time, the two players who "replace each other" will enter the "freeze" period, and they will not be allowed to participate in any games until they are released.

There have been malicious substitutions of players before, which had an extremely bad impact on the league and the playoffs.

"The approval means that there is still a possibility." Su Mengyao said worriedly. He was very worried that the league would prevent Crowder from returning. In that case, the Heat would be happy in vain.

"Well, but the possibility of it is extremely low." The Heat's management is still very optimistic, because they "reserved a hand", that is, a vacancy on the roster. The Heat's roster has always been 15 players in the last two seasons. This vacancy is reserved to clear the way for Claude's return.

An hour later, the league replied that they agreed to Crowder's application to return to the team, but the reason was written: According to the regulations, the player Crowder is not allowed to participate in any games this season, and the fastest comeback is next season, but in order to encourage him to overcome the injury and rebirth, the league licensed Crowder to join the Heat's roster and play with the team for all the remaining games of the season.

This is undoubtedly a news that is enough to cause an earthquake in the league. No matter how the teams complain, it cannot change this fact.

Crowder will play the rest of the playoffs with the Heat.

"Hey, can you do it, this is the playoffs, the intensity is so strong right from the start, is it okay?" Gaia asked with concern.

Claude smiled slightly, "It's not about you."

It seems like a joke, but it reflects Claude's trust in his teammates.

"It's been two years, I've been waiting for two years, and the opportunity has finally come." Claude plans to flex his muscles in the playoffs and regain the "lost two years".

Complete body Heat, officially assembled!
