"Hey, bro, I'm coming to Los Angeles soon, how are you going to entertain me?"
The night after playing against the Pistons, Dunn suddenly received a call from Wade.
Hearing Wade's excited voice, Du En thought for a moment and then said: "We are brothers, and I will definitely not treat you badly.
You only come to Los Angeles to play once a year, and I'm going to make tomorrow night unforgettable for you.
Have you thought about it? Are you excited? That’s right, I will spend a lot of money to hire you a big star from the San Fernando Valley! "
After Du En finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a few seconds, Wade hesitated and said: "San Fernando Valley? Brother, you know... I love my wife very much."
"Two!" Du En thought Wade had a big appetite, so he was forced to "add money" and continue talking to Wade.
However, Wade still hesitated: "Brother, I want to thank you for your kindness, but I can't do this..."
If he hadn't known that Wade was also a member of the Four Heroes, and that he had dumped his wife, and then married Kidd's lover, Du En would have believed it.
Maybe the current Wade has not become bad because he has more money, but essentially Wade is like most NBA stars, he can only watch the ball, not people.
"Since you say so, then I can only treat you to seafood."
"Thank you so much, you are such a good brother to me."
Miami is a south coast city, and Wade is the fifth overall pick in the first round. With Wade's conditions, he can't even afford a seafood dinner.
It can only be said that when everyone is young and ignorant, it took James half a season to understand that he had to send away Ricky Davis to become the real little emperor of Cleveland.
"When will you arrive approximately, and which hotel will you be in? Can you arrive at noon tomorrow? I will drive to pick you up."
After asking Wade about his itinerary, Du En hung up the phone not long after. ,
Du En needs to report to the Zen Master in advance, saying that Wade is his brother. For tomorrow night's game, Du En wants to perform well in front of Wade at the Staples Center.
At the same time, Duane also sent a text message to Payton, Kobe, Malone, Grant and other teammates, hoping to get their support.
The NBA has always had its share of grudges. Duen has never had any grudges with other teams, but playing brotherly basketball as opponents can still lead to some trouble.
Du En quickly received text messages from his teammates. They were all experienced players, and no one supported Du En's decision.
After receiving the affirmation from his teammates, Du En seemed a little excited and looked forward to tomorrow's game.
It was also because I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for a while, so I had to take a melatonin tablet.
At noon the next day, Dunn drove with the photographer and went to the Heat hotel to pick up Wade, so that he could record some promotional material in advance for future brother basketball games.
Rookie Wade has a treacherous heart but not courage. After finally making a trip to Los Angeles, he only dared to have a seafood dinner with Du En, and it was without quotation marks.
After many years, it would be quite interesting to uncover this old case.
"Brother, see you tonight!"
After lunch, he took Wade for a ride again. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and Du En sent Wade back to the hotel.
As the saying goes, never fight an uncertain battle.
Next, Duan has to rush back to Toyota Center to warm up and practice.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to around 7pm, Los Angeles, Staples Center.
The Lakers' home game against the Miami Heat is about to begin.
“Keep this game simple, pass the ball to Doon.”
Before the game, Master Jackson, as the head coach, laid out the main tactics for this game.
The Heat started the game with 2 wins and 7 losses. Wade's first regular season victory came at the head of James.
Facing such a weak team in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers really shouldn't play too hard.
Duan has good ball handling and transfer abilities.
In the last game between the Lakers and the Pistons, Duan was able to perform stably and help the Lakers win.
In this game with the Heat, they could easily win by simply passing the ball to Duen.
By the way, Du En had communicated with his teammates beforehand, so everyone naturally had no objections, so they all agreed in unison.
As the Lakers jumped to get the ball, the game began.
Payton quickly dribbled the ball across half court under Wade's defense, and then immediately passed the ball to Duane.
Kobe took the initiative to play without the ball and ran to the bottom corner, taking away Eddie Jones, his former big brother in the Lakers.
Duan asked Malone to come out as a cover for him, thus getting rid of Odom's entanglement.
In this way, Haslem switched to Duan.
Duan was still not satisfied and continued to play pick-and-roll with Payton, and finally came to Wade.
"Dwyane, you better guard me."
After Duan finished talking trash to Wade, he immediately put his hands behind his back and quickly pushed Wade toward the basket.
Wade's confrontation is not weak, but Dune's tonnage advantage is too great!
Seeing that Wade couldn't resist Duan, Odom had no choice but to help defend.
Duan noticed Odom's figure, and before Odom's double-team was in place, he passed the ball through the ground and passed it to Malone who was cutting under the basket. The latter received the ball and dunked directly.
"Gary, Dwyane is my brother, leave him to me, don't worry!"
After seeing Malone dunk, Dunn immediately said to Payton on the side, indicating that he should go back to the backcourt first, while he stayed to guard Wade.
Now there is no point guard in the Heat's starting lineup. Either Wade will serve as a dribbling guard, or Odom will play the point forward.
Odom usually gets the ball in the frontcourt, so things like dribbling in the backcourt still have to be done by Wade.
Now that the handcheck rule has not been cancelled, it is not that easy for Wade to easily dribble the ball across half court under Du En's strict defense.
In his rookie season, Wade averaged 3.2 turnovers per game. It can be said that at least 1.2 turnovers were due to dribbling.
"Brother, you should take the ball and attack it! You should play the ball the way you are best at.
You can't be the boss of the Miami Heat without the ball!
I think your ability to hold the ball is a little better than mine now, and you should be more involved in the offense. "
Although Du En knew that Wade was very capable without the ball, he couldn't help but give Wade a pointer when he saw that Wade was purely a dribbling defender, handing over the ball after halftime and then starting to run without the ball.
"Brother, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I just came here. I just want to win."
Wade ran around, and Duan also chased around.
When Eddie Jones fell back beautifully under Kobe's strict defense, and then Duang's sound aroused the memories of Los Angeles fans, Wade finally stopped.
I have to say that Eddie Jones is so similar to Kobe, in height, body shape, jumping, playing style, defense, and even looks.
If Kobe hadn't been known as Jordan's successor as soon as he entered the league, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Jones Jr.
By the way, after Malone protected the rebound, the Lakers immediately launched a fast break under the leadership of Payton.
However, in recent years, with the support of Riley's modern basketball theory, the Heat have eliminated the big center and gradually formed the prototype of the death five small players.
In short, the Heat's current two-guard and three-forward line return to defense very quickly.
Payton failed to get to the basket immediately and had to circle back.
Payton passed the ball to Duan again. Duan pretended to shoot a three-pointer. Seeing Odom and Eddie Jones pounce on him together, he passed the ball to Kobe.
Even though his right shoulder injury has not yet healed, Kobe did not hesitate after getting the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.
With no one to interfere, Kobe finally didn't strike as soon as he came up, but steadily hit a three-pointer.
Although Du En didn't score in the first game, he already had two assists.
"Dwyane, if you don't score, then I have no choice but to not score."
Duane continued to guard Wade and talked trash to shake Wade's will.
Du En's brothers play basketball so realistically!
