When he said this, Wade's face was full of sincerity.
This makes Stan Van Gundy feel a little guilty.
Because before Wade said this, he was still thinking about how to trick Wade into listening to him and doing what he wanted him to do.
I didn't expect that...
Wade is more responsible for this team and the entire team than he thought!
"Man, it is a very happy thing for anyone to become a teammate with you! Because you know what a team is!" Stan Van Gundy patted Wade on the shoulder seriously, looked at the satisfaction on his face, and then spoke , "Man, after you said this, it really gave me a great inspiration. I think you can lead the second team. Your ability to break through with the ball can definitely shine in the second team!" "
Is this going to put me on the bench?
Wade was determined.
So all outcomes are expected.
Including going to the bench.
But when he heard Stan Van Gundy really say that, his heart still trembled violently.
Do you really want to be a substitute?
This is definitely something that is not easy to make up your mind about.
Especially for a guy like him who has become the core of the team just after entering the league.
He knows very well that once the team really wins after he enters the bench, his future will be bleak...
His career has just begun and he is prepared to sacrifice, but for the sake of his future, he must seriously consider it.
Stan Van Gundy seemed to sense that he was shaken, and immediately spoke to comfort him: "Believe me, man, this is just an arrangement for this series. I know your abilities very well, and I just made such an adjustment!"
This is not pure deception!
Putting Wade on the bench, Stan Van Gundy mainly wanted to get Odom at the No. 1 position.
But is Odom really better than Wade?
More hope?
The answer is definitely no!
Wade definitely has a brighter future than Odom, but now Odom's height advantage can give Jason Kidd more difficulties.
Moreover, after putting Wade on the bench, Caron Butler, a pitcher with good shooting ability, can be placed at the third position to cooperate with Jones to open up the entire defense.
This ability is also something Wade does not have now!
In addition, Stan Van Gundy did not lie. He put Wade in the starting lineup. His breakthrough did not pose much of a threat to a group of defenders like Kidd, but if he was in the substitute lineup, he would definitely be a "magic weapon." Sharp weapon"!
Seeing the sincerity on Stan Van Gundy's face, Wade really wanted him to say "Americans don't lie to Americans"!
But think about the situation he was in just now, and think about how many media are now saying that he has dragged down Woody and the entire Heat team. ——In fact, this is the reason why he took the initiative to come and say these words to Stan Van Gundy.
If the team loses entirely because of him, this is something he cannot accept!
Another point is that if the team loses entirely because of Woody, then he will feel uncomfortable. He will take the initiative to communicate with Woody and work together to find ways to make Woody play more comfortable.
But Woody didn't give him such a chance!
"You are our MVP!"
Thinking about Woody's evaluation of himself, Wade feels that an MVP must have the consciousness of an MVP!
For the team...
"I'll do it!"
When Wade was silent, Stan Van Gundy was planning to say something, but unexpectedly Wade suddenly spoke with a firm tone. Stan Van Gundy quickly sent his own "rainbow fart": "Dwyane, I have no doubt about your future achievements, because in you, I see the qualities to become great! I thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of all the players. !”
The only flaw is that there were not two lines of tears shed.
Fortunately, Wade doesn't care about these little things!
The two reached an agreement, and Stan Van Gundy announced the matter before the start of training in the afternoon.
When he heard that Wade took the initiative to come on the bench so that the starting lineup could be matched more reasonably, Woody turned to look at him in surprise.
He really didn't expect that Wade would make such a sacrifice.
There was nothing he could do about it. Based on what he had experienced in his high school career, everyone was racking their brains for their starting position and the ball rights, even going so far as to chase after him and call him "brother" every day.
Of course, this is normal. Players with some ability and temperament strive to become the core of the team.
Therefore, it seemed that sacrifice was so great just now...
Woody patted him on the shoulder and said nothing, my brother's name is "Wade"!
"Replacing Dwyane in the starting lineup is... Caron!" Stan Van Gundy announced the results of the adjustment after the commotion.
Caron Butler's eyes widened when he heard that he had returned to the starting lineup again. He really didn't expect that he could actually return to the starting lineup this season...
Exactly at a time like this!
He is under a lot of pressure!
So much so that before the third game of the series, he put a handful of straws in his mouth and chewed them hard.
That look is somewhat indecent.
Woody watched him chew for more than half an hour, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Man... let's get a new one!"
As he spoke, he took out a bag of unopened straws and handed them to him.
"This should be enough for you to chew until Game 6 of the series, right?"
Caron Butler smiled knowingly when he heard Woody's joking words. He was like...
Got a new straw!
Um……
Although Woody's joke made him feel relieved for a moment, he soon felt a huge sense of uneasiness and tension in his heart.
Trailing 0-2, the third game was still at New Jersey's home court. Wade took the initiative to give up his starting position and let him enter the starting lineup. Everything was for this team to perform in a better state and complete " Counterattack".
He is the "vital chess piece"!
All his teammates believe in him, and he doesn't want to let his teammates down.
How could this make him not nervous?
All he can do now is chew hard and chew away all the pressure and habits!
There's a lot of excitement at the New Jersey Arena tonight.
The entire arena has more than 17,000 seats, filled with fans.
The Nets won two consecutive away games, which they did not expect. After all, the Heat were the strongest team in the first round.
I thought this was a tough battle, but I didn't expect it to break at the first touch!
Those people across the lake just can’t do it!
Let us, the country folk you think we are, come to avenge you!
I was able to win both away games, and now that I'm back at home, it's not like I can hold it in my hands!
Nets fans are extremely confident, and the entire Nets players are also calm, with less urgency than in the previous two games.
Obviously in their opinion, the Heat are at the end of their rope!
The main reason is that I dominated the first two games and won too easily...
So even if the Heat changed their lineup in this game, the Nets didn't take it too seriously.
Even they can guess that the Heat will make changes.
Are you kidding me, how were the first two games suppressed?
If we don't change the formation, will we be waiting for death?
so……
Change it!
Change it!
When this game is over, you will give up!
The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of both sides.
The Nets have not made any changes to their lineup. They still have Jason Kidd at No. 1, Corey Kidders at No. 2, Jefferson at No. 3, Kenyon Martin at No. 4, and Jason Kidders at No. 5. Corinth;
Heat team: No. 1 Odom, No. 2 Jones, No. 3 Caron Butler, No. 4 Woody, No. 5 Grant;
In the jump ball session, Woody faced Collins.
Nets fans must admit that at this moment, they are a little nervous.
But at the end of the jump ball, when they saw the ball being transferred from Collins's hands to Jason Kidd's, they felt that the game was over.
In some games, it looks like the jump ball has just been completed, but in fact the result has already been achieved!
With the Nets' current situation, they have to achieve the "first move" no matter what!
Their feeling is really correct.
Jason Kidd faced Odom and took advantage of his speed, leaving Odom behind in two big steps.
He found Jefferson coming from the wing during the attack and gave the ball to him.
Among the many "beasts" in the league's third position, Jefferson's name must be there.
One-handed chop!
"Bang!"
It hit the hearts of Nets fans directly.
It’s really stable now!
2-0!
With this opening momentum, I am afraid that I can suppress the Heat team in one go, right?
At this point, Nets fans are thinking together with their head coach Byron Scott.
Scott's idea tonight is also to let the opponent see how strong their aura is from the beginning!
So when the ball was dunked in, the Nets directly adopted a frontcourt pressing defense.
Odom couldn't catch the ball, and the old Jones could only "talk like a teenager" and regain the ball-holding account of his youth.
Kobe averaged 27.6 points per game in the first round of the series, overwhelming the entire Rockets' perimeter.
The excellent ability to control the ball and break through allowed everyone to see the power of this "Peter Pan" who was beginning to enter his peak period.
but……
Do you know who he learned his skills from in the first place?
It's me, Jones!
Holding the ball to the frontcourt, a sudden and continuous cross-step startled Kidders on the opposite side. His whole body was stuck in the racket. By the time he reacted, Jones had already rolled him towards the inside.
But Jones is certainly old.
He initiated the confrontation on his own initiative, but when the confrontation started, he staggered.
This man, it’s really hard for him to refuse to obey!
This is also the reason why Jones gradually stops holding the ball.
Fortunately, his goal was achieved. He was only two or three positions away from Woody, and a through ball reached Woody's hands. Facing Kenyon Martin, he took the ball and rushed directly towards the basket, successfully scoring the ball during the confrontation.
The "beast" Kenyon Martin is mainly about "If you dare to bully me, I will let you bully me"!
To be honest, he really has no choice in terms of attitude, but because he pursues speed too much, he has no advantage in all aspects of weight, making it difficult to gain the upper hand in confrontations.
This time facing Woody's tonnage of less than 100kg, he was also unable to suppress it, allowing Woody to complete the layup under the basket.
After upgrading Barkley's template, although Woody's ability under the basket has not been strengthened in practice, because most of the offense on the court comes from finishing under the basket, there is no need for him to practice deliberately at all. The game is just The best improvement, now his offensive ability at the basket has reached 82 points!
With Kenyon Martin unable to shake his body, he easily responded.
"Double-team, double-team, must double-team!"
The Nets head coach emphasized the help of Woody on the wings.
There is no arrangement for the offensive end.
Because he believes in Kidd's ability!
And Kidd also proved that he can also do it with ease when facing Odom. With a fake shot, he tricked Odom into stepping forward and quickly broke through. Basket shot.
4-2!
His goal brought bursts of cheers from the crowd.
Stan Van Gundy cursed at Odom.
You really deserve to be scolded!
He was actually fooled by Kidd's fake shot.
Just Kidd...
What shots can he make?
It was only after Odom was fooled that he discovered that he had been fooled by Kidd's fake shot.
How embarrassing!
No, I must return this feeling of humiliation.
Facing Jason Kidd who was still pressing in the backcourt, this time he did not escape, but faced the difficulty, took the ball in his hands, and pushed Kidd forward.
Kidd originally wanted to push back twice to express his tough attitude.
But after feeling that Odom was holding a "bloody river" attitude and "clearing the way" with his back, he stopped wasting energy and retreated.
In the frontcourt, Odom was even more powerful, dribbling directly towards the basket.
When Kidd saw this situation, his temper also rose. He really thought that my brother was afraid of you.
"Bang!"
Odom's weight at the fourth position is actually not heavy, only 104kg!
But this is his weight at the fourth position, but at the first position, even facing Kidd, who is considered a "tall guard" at the first position, his weight can also act as a "bulldozer".
Jason Kidd is only 1.93 meters and 93kg!
11kg difference!
Odom tried it and found that he could push Kidd. He did not hesitate at all and became stronger, pushing him all the way to the basket.
"Quickly double-team, quicky double-team!"
The hurried urging from the sidelines fell in the ears of the Nets players, and also fell in the ears of Odom. He had been observing the movements of other Nets players, and Kenyon Martin couldn't help but When he came up, he immediately passed the ball towards Woody.
The Nets showed off their ability to defend in transition.
Jefferson on the wing immediately followed Woody when he got the ball.
At this moment, Woody didn't waste a second and gave the ball to Caron Butler on the wing who was supposed to be guarded by Jefferson.
At this time, he was completely let go...
In the name of straws!
Caron Butler simply adjusted, jumped up immediately, and shot the three-pointer directly.
The ball hit the net...
5-4!
