NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

After all, Mourning was a player who averaged 20+10 per game.

It was too easy for the 2.01-meter-tall Kalami to play against McGinnis in singles.

On the offensive end, Kidd passed the ball to Carter after half court.

Wade, who suffered a loss at the hands of Carter in the last round, stood on the opposite side of Carter in advance.

Like to compete, this is the characteristic of all young people.

Whether it is Wade or the arrogant Roy, they are the same.

Carter took the ball and calmly looked for opportunities under the three-point line.

He observed the Heat's defensive arrangement.

I thought he would have an extreme 1-on-1 with Wade.

In the end, he called Roy to do a pick-and-roll.

Since Wade's illegal crossing last time, Roy has always been extra careful about the pick-and-roll. He immediately blocked the gap between his body and Carter,

leaving no loopholes for the opponent to exploit.

Wade was helpless. Carter, an old hand, was not good at all.

I obviously wanted to fight, and your teamwork would make me look stupid.

After the pick-and-roll, Carter passed the ball back to Roy.

Facing Wade, Roy had played this duel countless times and had learned his lesson.

He dribbled the ball on the three-point line and squeezed Wade away with a big stride.

Mourning and O'Neal doubled up and double-teamed him.

Roy found McGinnis under the basket in the gap between the two double-teams.

McGinnis took a step under the basket and dunked.

It was another typical attack led by Roy.

"Mr. Alonzo, are you okay? Did I use too much force?"

Mourning started to keep silent when asked at this time.

Veteran Mourning was very puzzled that he could not feel how fast Roy was when watching the video.

When watching the game record, he even kept scolding Haslem for being a waste, who was easily passed by Roy.

Until now, when he faced Roy's attack in person in the game, he realized that it was not the problem of the defensive player,

but that this rookie was too strong, and his ability to hold the ball outside was not something that an introvert could achieve.

When he was in a bad mood, he realized how outrageous his arrogance was.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately. In the first quarter, relying on Roy's good condition,

the Nets continued to suppress the Heat in terms of score.

"Listen, Alonzo, you have to be tough when I ask you to play. That guy is still a kid and can't stand the pressure you put on him!"

Pat Riley encouraged Mourning off the court,

Then he gave Wade instructions,

Riley was a little tired, Mourning, who he had high hopes for, seemed to have no way to deal with Roy,

Does he really let him do whatever he wants in his own basket?

It is definitely impossible. Riley asked all the players in the team to double-team Roy appropriately when he played one-on-one,

Don't let him score easily,

In addition, O'Neal on the offensive end must be used,

Don't let Roy be too relaxed on the defensive end,

Isn't he all-round, can't he defend and attack at the same time?

Then we will frantically look for him to play one-on-one and tire him to death!

Sure enough, when Roy returned to the court in the second quarter, the Heat double-teamed him.

When Roy was preparing to break through on the three-point line as usual,

there were always Heat players on the side who interfered with Roy's dribbling.

One shot and one blocked.

Roy could only carefully protect the ball, but this greatly affected the speed of the breakthrough.

It also gave Mourning time to catch up with Roy and follow Roy step by step into the basket.

Mourning thought Roy would directly choose to attack the basket.

But it stopped not far from the reasonable collision zone.

O'Neal of the Heat was even ready to make up for the defense.

After the sudden brake, Mourning's misjudgment gave Roy a chance to shoot.

Stepping back and making a quick stop jump shot, the Heat's twin towers could only watch Roy shoot in front of them.

This kind of mid-range is one of Roy's areas of expertise, no suspense.

The basketball went in neatly.

34 to 26.

The Nets opened up an 8-point lead.

"Boy, you are an inside player, not a soft outside player. You are not tall enough to shoot. You are embarrassing the inside players by playing like this!"

Mourning was furious. He teased Roy again and again, trying to get Roy to get carried away and then play against him with his back to the basket.

Roy's response was a roll of his eyes.

Do you think I'm stupid? I can easily kill you with a shot from the outside, why should I sweat profusely under the basket?

Roy scored a goal over Mourning's head,

Veteran Mourning completed the transformation from questioning Haslem to understanding Haslem and finally becoming Haslem.

The mostIf you are tough, you will get the worst beating.

Halfway through the second quarter,

Mourning, the tough guy, was already out of breath. He had not done physical training for too long, and he had physical problems due to his age.

Roy responded with speed and breakthroughs, and finally dragged him down.

The further the game went, the more Mourning faltered.

Pat Riley's surprise tactics failed after less than two quarters.

For the rest of the time, the old Mourning was no different from Haslem.

Even in the end, due to physical problems, the defensive effect was not as good as Haslem in his rookie period.

Riley was very troubled.

The Alonzo Mourning who could fly and make waves under the basket was really old.

Facing Roy, a new type of power forward, he gradually lost the ability to fight back.

But he was a decisive person and had no time to sigh. He quickly called a timeout and replaced Haslem to restore the lineup of the previous game.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was not close but further apart.

In the middle of the second quarter, Carter began to exert his strength. He scored three goals in a row against Wade.

Carter, who had returned from injury, was halfway to his goal.

After receiving the ball, whether it was a direct pull-up attack or a back-to-the-basket shot,

more than 90% of the time, he finished within three seconds.

In addition, he had a good touch today.

Even Wade, the proud son of heaven, was beaten by him without temper.

At the end of the first half, 62 to 46

The Nets led by as many as 16 points.

This result was unacceptable to both head coach Pat Riley and the Heat players.

I thought that after changing the legendary coach, the team should soar to the sky.

Even if it didn't take off, it shouldn't be, not as good as Stan Van Gundy before.

Thinking of this, the players secretly glanced at Pat Riley.

Pat Riley's face was as gloomy as water, and he was also very depressed.

Did he act impulsively?

Feeling that he saw the opportunity of the finals,

For this reason, he loudly questioned Stan Van Gundy's on-the-spot coaching ability.

Today, he watched the team carefully on the sidelines until the end of the first half,

only to find out that it was the players who were not good enough and the Heat's bench depth was not enough.

Although the combination of O'Neal and Wade was almost invincible,

but the Heat's starting lineup obviously had flaws.

He couldn't help but secretly regret this hasty comeback decision. Not only might he fail to achieve the predetermined goals,

but he also ruined his own character. The behavior of picking peaches in the middle was despised by others.

If he had known that he would wait until next season,

he would have helped the team get some big fish in the free market and then come to coach.

Wouldn't it be better than now?

Now Riley is a bit stuck in a dilemma.

What Pat Riley didn't know was that in his apartment in Miami,

Stan Van Gundy, who was eating popcorn and drinking beer, was sliding on his knees in the living room,

"You fired me for this? He's a legendary coach, but I don't think he's that good!"

He was so happy in his heart,

At this moment, the unhappiness in his heart, the long-suppressed resentment, seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Stan Van Gundy knew very well that it would be difficult for the Heat to defeat the Nets in this state today,

When he thought that the Heat might be eliminated by the Nets at home in the next game,

He immediately picked up the phone to call his assistant and asked him to book a front-row ticket for the Heat's home game on Sunday,

Although the price of the ticket was very high, it was even hard to get a ticket,

Stan Van Gundy waved his hand and added money,

Just after being kicked out and receiving his salary, his wallet was bulging,

As the saying goes, money can't buy me happiness, witnessing my team being led out of the playoffs by Riley,

It's so wonderful and so satisfying to think about it!
