Chapter 202
The second is the decline of O'Neill's state.Although O'Neal is known as the most dominant center, he is already at the end of his peak after going south to the Heat. If he is still in the state of the Lakers, then the Heat are basically invincible.But it is a pity that O'Neal was plagued by injuries in 07 and only attended 40 games throughout the season, leaving the Heat in a dilemma where no one was available inside for most of the games.Although O'Neal came back in time later, it was unfortunate that Wade fell down. The Heat simply could not guarantee the stability of their record based on O'Neal's serious decline in state and potential for major injuries.

This season, O'Neal's aging is getting worse, and he has a fierce conflict with Pat Riley. The magic operator simply kicked him out, and O'Neal was restless after leaving, and has been talking bad things about Pat Riley.

The last reason is Wade's injury.If Wade is healthy, perhaps the above two points have a stable hard solution for the Heat, but Wade's injury in the middle and late seasons of the season is really a bolt from the blue for the Heat.As the absolute core of the Heat and the new FMVP, Wade was undoubtedly an unsolvable existence that year.But in a game against the Rockets in February, Wade was accidentally injured by Battier and suffered a serious shoulder injury.At that time, Wade had to leave the venue in a wheelchair, his expression was very painful, and he even shed tears.After losing the team spirit, the Heat naturally had a low fighting spirit. Coupled with O'Neal's inability to support, Miami could not escape the fate of Waterloo in the end. They were swept out in the first round of the 2 playoffs.

This season, O'Neal's aging was serious in the early stage, and Marion, who joined in the later period, suffered minor injuries, playing and stopping. Wade played with injuries a lot of the time. One or two points, most of the games are half-time crashes, it can be said that one person is really super god, and his teammates are CBA.

Facing such a Heat team, the Philadelphia team can be said to have had a rare round of dumplings. Channing clocked out of get off work in three quarters. Big progress.

After winning the Heat, the trade deadline for this season has officially passed. Cheeks told Channing with shame that although he has not given up his trade efforts in the past few months, he has gained very little and has not been able to exchange for it. A qualified inside player.

And after the trade deadline, all trades are impossible to carry out, and this season cannot be strengthened, which means that Channing will have to lead the existing lineup to work hard to hit the playoffs and strive to be in the playoffs. go further.

"I can hit the inside line, but my height and tonnage is not a pure center after all. I can defend against ordinary big men, but if it is an inside line like Duncan, Bynum, or Brother Yao, I will still be exploded; Gortat You can also make do with it for ten minutes, he is a purebred insider, but he is too young, lacking in body and experience, so he is not suitable."

Channing calculated back and forth, but he was still helpless. After the big deal, the team's lineup became younger, which brought vitality and athletic ability, but the huge loopholes in the inside line were obvious, whether it was Channing in the third or fourth position , the stocky Reggie Evans, the space power forward Channing Frye or the young Gortat can't hold up the penalty area.

"Since this is the case, then be bold and completely transfer the style of play from the Heat's Big Three era."

Chen Ning made up his mind and discussed with Cheeks that the inside line is definitely not good. When encountering a team with similar strength, the inside line is designated to be exploded, and the number of rebounds is a disadvantage in most games. Switch defenses, maximize the defensive advantages of Iguodala, Battier, and Channing, the three strikers, and at the same time collectively shrink to protect rebounds, increase three-point shots, and use three-pointers to fight against the basket. Received miraculous effect.

This is the style of play that Channing has been dreaming of since he first became the boss of the team. However, due to the limited staffing of the team at that time, many people were unwilling to participate in the defense change. Now, the new players are more obedient and young. , willing to try a new style of play, the whole team agrees, this is the best time to change.

After repeated drills, the Philadelphia team ushered in the first team to practice, the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers are also a weak team. So far, their wins are much less than the Philadelphia 76ers. Maybe it is because of the crazy west. The underdog Philadelphia 76ers regained a little confidence here.

Of course, the Philadelphia team also thinks this way. Channing and the others must take good care of every weak team and win them all, so as to have the possibility of getting close to the playoffs.

The Clippers have the alien Sam Cassell as the main control, the very muscular Corey Maggette as the main small forward, and the captains Brand and Chris Kaman on the inside.

Before the start of the game, the outside world unanimously predicted that the Clippers would use their very good inside advantage to overwhelm Philadelphia, but in fact, although the Clippers always dominated the rebounds, the 76ers' offense was very good. After sorting it out, the Philadelphia team got a lot of open shots, especially the three-pointer, which is also the key to their victory.

They won the Supersonics before the All-Star Game, and after the All-Star Game, they won the Heat and the Clippers one after another. The Philadelphia 76ers ushered in a rare three-game winning streak, which also made their ranking rise. At the end of March and early April, the Philadelphia team had climbed to tenth in the Eastern Conference, up two places from before.

This is the advantage of being in the Eastern Conference. Everyone is relatively weak. As long as they can play a wave of winning streak, they can hope to quickly improve their rankings and even succeed in counterattacks.

Speaking of winning streak, the Rockets are the biggest dark horse this season. Their 22-game winning streak is still going on, but there is a bad news that makes Chinese fans very uncomfortable. Yao Ming is injured again.

In a game at the end of February, Yao Ming was accidentally injured. After a doctor’s diagnosis, Yao Ming’s left foot was fractured. There are several treatment options. Yao Ming’s answer is very firm, “Any treatment plan should put the Olympics first.”

Channing immediately flew to Houston to visit Brother Yao Ming. Yao Ming on the hospital bed looked a little disappointed and anxious. Yao Ming originally planned to lead the Rockets to go further and continue the winning streak. Now it seems that the reimbursement for the season It's the most basic thing, but the summer Olympics shouldn't be a big problem.

"Have a good rest, brother Yao, I'm waiting to fight side by side with you."

Before Qian Ning left the ward, he once again told Yao Ming not to gain any more weight after recovering from this injury.
