NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

At the beginning of the game, the Nets chose the safest opening play.

Kid passed the ball to Roy at a waist position of 45 degrees.

Mourning was looking forward to it, and Roy was excited.

Except for Ben Wallace, this was the second best defensive player he met from the power forward position.

PS: Garnett did not have the best defensive player at this time.

Roy, who was in the middle position, tried to play a back-to-basket single after getting the ball.

Several attempts to push forward were blocked by Mourning.

Alonzo Mourning's muscles were indeed not tempered. Roy tried several times,

but the opponent did not move at all, and even had the mood to mock Roy:

"Hey, hey, hey, come and see this season's MVP, what are you doing, playing bear rubbing against a tree in front of me?"

Not far away, O'Neal grinned,

"Alonzo, I think he needs a little help, such as a face-to-face block, so that he can end this painful back-to-basket single."

The two chatted as if no one was around, not caring about Roy's feelings at all.

After several attempts, Mourning's strength was indeed not something that Roy's back-to-basket could easily shake.

After gritting his teeth and exerting all his strength, the black and hard muscle man behind him finally Yu Xiang stepped back a few steps.

According to this strength, if all the players continued to play like this, Roy would definitely be exhausted before halftime.

Fortunately, the goal was achieved. As long as Mourning moved, Roy could rely on his footwork.

Using his back-to-the-basket footwork to single out this man,

After struggling to push the distance behind him, so that there was a gap between the two shots, Roy dribbled the ball and turned left with a fake move.

Then he turned right and prepared to lay up.

Mourning behind him was too experienced in dealing with back-to-basket. He didn't fall for Roy's trick at all.

The fake move of turning left didn't fool him at all.

When Roy turned right, Mourning seemed to be able to predict it.

When Roy's ball was exposed and he was ready to lay up,

Mourning slapped Roy's ball with a slap.

"Steady, accurate and ruthless" directly cut the ball from Roy's hand.

Wade, who was not far away, quickly grabbed the basketball that was cut away.

He started quickly without stopping, dodged the block in the air during the pursuit of the Nets players, and scored a one-handed dunk directly.

The away Heat team scored the first goal.

In the Heat rest area, Pat Riley, dressed in a suit, smiled.

Today, he went against all odds and put Alonzo Mourning, who had just returned from injury, in the starting lineup. The first round had an effect.

He felt that firing Stan Van Gundy was a very wise move for the team.

Riley was still very satisfied with Alonzo Mourning, one of his favorite disciples.

Even after being seriously injured, he was still able to contribute his strength steadily on the defensive end.

Instead, the audience was talking about it. Judging from the state of Mourning,

Everyone was worried about Roy.

Alonzo Mourning was notorious and was not an ordinary person.

Today, he became the surprise weapon of the Heat. He and O'Neal's double tower combination,

on paper, they were very strong, one attack and one defense just complemented each other.

"Roy, are you okay?" Carter asked in a low voice.

Roy shook his head, and before he could answer, a voice came from behind.

"Of course he is fine, he was just beaten up. At most, he will cry. There is no risk. You know I like to guide the younger generation the most, and I like to defend the MVP more."

Mourning behind Roy was talking trash proudly.

The older generation will use this kind of trash talk to influence the mentality of the players, especially for rookies.

Roy really disliked this guy's bad mouth.

"Mr. Alonzo, I hope you can keep your word."

Mourning thought Roy was angry. It was easy for rookie players to lose their minds, which was what he wanted to achieve.

Once they lost their minds, would they be manipulated by him at will?

As long as he can defend the opponent for one or two more rounds and talk trash, Mourning feels very confident.

Over the years, Mourning has bullied countless rookies with this trick, so he continued:

"The league has really changed now. A kid can also win the MVP. In my era, you couldn't even make the rookie lineup with your level."

Roy ignored him and trotted to the three-point line, and asked Kidd for the ball.

Facing Mourning's continuous crotch dribbling,

"Hey, kid, crotch dribbling alone is useless to me. I'm not that waste Udonis."

"You'll know whether it works or not in a while, don't say I'm ruthless to the old man."

"Hard-mouthed kid, come on."

Roy adjusted the rhythm by dribbling under his crotch, aiming at Mourning's figure, and then crossed over to break through.

This old guy has good strength and low-post defense.

Roy's breakthrough just hit him above the seven inches,Roy dribbled the ball smoothly, with the speed of a small forward.

The speed seemed to Mourning to be a flash.

Roy's brain could see every move clearly.

But his footsteps were out of control. He only followed one step and Roy slipped past him like a catfish.

He quickly attacked the basket and made a layup in front of O'Neal.

"Best defensive player? That's it? Mr. Alonzo, I'm so disappointed."

Mourning blushed and couldn't speak.

He was easily passed by the opponent just after provoking him. This slap in the face was too fast.

"Smelly boy, you were just lucky just now. Don't be too proud. You just got lucky."

"Alonzo, if I were you, I would shut up my damn stinky mouth."

In addition to the tough attitude and stiff body of the older generation of players, Roy also found that their mouths were also very hard.

O'Neal picked up the ball from the ground not far away and passed it to Wade.

Originally, he was not supposed to do such dirty work, but Haslem was really useless.

He was completely beaten by Roy in every game, so Pat Riley had to recruit a man to start the game.

For this player who was older than himself to be his substitute,

O'Neal couldn't say anything. Although the opponent was his mortal enemy before,

After coming to the Heat, the two had already reconciled. He didn't feel embarrassed to ask his big brother to pick up the ball,

so he could only do it himself.

Besides, according to Shark's observation, Mourning's performance was acceptable.

He defended one and lost one. The overall performance is still to be observed. On the field, he is much better than Haslem.

Heat's attack round,

After Roy singled out Mourning, he had to go back to single-handedly defend O'Neal,

This non-stop rotation made even head coach Frank feel a little bit uncomfortable,

The first-year rookie had too much to bear,

In the penalty area, Roy still implemented a front defense on O'Neal,

Because of the addition of Mourning, the basket was not too open,

Even after O'Neal got the ball, he was still double-teamed,

The helpless Shark could only pass the ball back to Wade on the outside,

When Wade got the ball, he did not continue to pass it back to O'Neal, but took the ball on the outside to face Carter alone, and the two points formed a 1-on-1 bullfighting situation,

Carter pressed down in advance Body center of gravity,

Everyone knows that Wade's choices are nothing more than two strategies: breakthrough layup or breakthrough pass,

As for Wade's mid-range shot, in the words of Coach Frank,

Just let him shoot, he deserves it,

You should know that Wade's mid-range shot hit rate is less than 40%, pitifully inefficient,

This allows the Nets to focus on dealing with Wade's breakthrough,

Wade accelerated the breakthrough, Carter pressed step by step, the two from the three-point line, all the way to the basket,

Carter closely defended and did not give Wade any space to shoot,

forcing Wade to pass to Alonso Mourning in the interior,

Facing the young player McGinnis behind him, Alonso turned around and made a small hook shot,

Easily hit.
