After Alston and Jones came on the court, they immediately performed, hitting three-pointers one after another.
If the continuous inside attacks of Woody and Shaquille O'Neal laid the foundation for victory, then the three-pointers of these two men at this moment completely beat the Kings against the wall.
101 to 89!
The Heat easily won two consecutive victories at the start of the new season with a 12-point advantage.
As the "main attacker" in this game, Shaquille O'Neal showed his "shark power". He made 10 of 15 shots and 3 of 6 free throws. He easily scored 23 points and had 9 rebounds.
The Kings did not use the "shark-cutting tactic" in this game. It may be that Shaquille O'Neal's free throws in the previous game were too stable.
This makes Shaquille O'Neal not unhappy at all tonight.
Opponents who don't "cut sharks" are opponents worthy of respect!
What a "shark" person dislikes the most is an opponent who keeps using the "shark-killing" tactic!
Another "main attacker" Woody's score is still higher than him.
Bill Walton said this after reading Woody's data: "Just from the first two games, Woody is the most core player of the Heat!"
Different situations, Stan Van Gundy has different priorities. But no matter what kind of play style, Woody is the most focused point!
However, there is nothing to say about this.
The Woody of last season may not be qualified to be treated like this, but the Woody now is completely worthy of being treated like this!
This "holding the ball and playing behind the back" is simply...
It can be said that there was no targeting in the last game, and the performance was played out. In this game, Bill Walton saw clearly that this kind of targeting was really not just one or two points. Adelman's targeting was very thorough, and Chris Webber's implementation was also very thorough.
"He is really too strong. He is not at the same level as he was last season. I really tried my best, but I really can't limit him. He will become a very dominant player. Well, and not in The future starts from this season!”
In Chris Webber's view, it really can't be done in one or two seasons to fully adapt to Woody's "big butt" impact.
This is an era that has not been ravaged by Buckley's "big cock", and compared to Buckley, Woody is taller!
Anyway, Woody's name must now be added to Chris Webber's "definitely unbeatable" list.
After defeating Weber, one of the "four major forwards" in one game, Woody's statistics in this game are really luxurious:
15 shots proved that Chris Webber really did everything possible to prevent him from catching the ball, and 15 shots and 10 hits proved that the only way to stop Woody is to start. Stop him from catching the ball, and once he has the ball in his hands, he can transform into an unstoppable "tank"!
Coupled with 7 free throws and hitting 5 of them, Woody's score in this game is still the highest 25 points in the entire Heat team!
In addition, there were 13 rebounds and 7 assists.
The average number of rebounds per game has declined compared to last season.
Because it's impossible to really use Shaquille O'Neal as Grant.
In fact, Shaquille O'Neal's "second-in-command" style of play is already a treatment that even Kobe has not enjoyed.
How long has Woody been in the league?
To do this with a "second-year" qualification is enough to brag about it.
Moreover, although the number of rebounds is no longer as exaggerated as last season, Woody's assists have increased visibly.
More than 4 assists last season was already a very good level, and reaching 6 is even more outstanding!
But so far this season, Woody's assists per game have not dropped below 6. The arrival of Shaquille O'Neal has made Woody's assists easier. It is foreseeable that this will become the norm for Woody. …
So, Woody has nothing to lose.
Instead, he followed in the footsteps of his former teammate LeBron James and became more versatile...
The defensive data continued to shrink. Woody only got 1 steal and 1 block in this game.
After moving to the fourth position, defensive end Woody still needs time to adapt.
Moreover, the physical energy required to play in singles with the ball has obviously increased. Even if his physical fitness is already at the level of an NBA superstar, he still needs games to accumulate experience: understand the strong period and transition period of his current style of play, and more It helps Woody know how to save his energy so that he can better take over the game.
But his scoring, rebounds and assists are enough to defeat Chris Webber.
Moreover, defense is not something that can be directly reflected in steals and blocks. Although Woody's data in these two aspects are not very good, Chris Webber only got 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. The data is far from his average of 20 plus 10 plus 5 per game.
It can be seen that Woody's defensive deterrence has not diminished.
If Webb hadn't been beaten on both offense and defense, he wouldn't have been so convinced after the game, right?
Wade didn't play much tonight, but after Woody and Shaquille O'Neal forced the Kings to completely narrow the defensive circle, he scored 8 points in the third quarter and ended up with 18 points in the game. He had 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 50%!
"This is the feeling of playing next to Woody and Shaq. You will feel that the game can be won easily." Wade did not complain too much. Even though he is in the second season of his career, he is on a rapid rise!
But who put Shaquille O'Neal and Woody in front of him?
It can't be lifted, it really can't be lifted.
Originally, Wade was quite confident after playing in the Olympics. He believed that his growth was enough to bridge the gap between him and Woody. But when he saw Woody for the first time in the training camp, he immediately felt that he wanted to too much.
And after Woody took out his "back slap" hand, he even stopped thinking about challenging Woody.
His powerful words made the Sacramento reporter next to him very jealous.
Because the Kings are going through a "power struggle" within the team.
The aging of Chris Webber has allowed Peja, who has reached his peak, to gradually have the idea of becoming the "big boss". Especially after Webber was injured last season and he led the team alone for a period of time, this idea became even more important. It's about getting him to take action, and this season he has intensified his efforts and taken things a step further.
In fact, this is not uncommon in the history of the NBA. There is a breakup of "OK" right before our eyes.
Even "Triple Crown" players like Shaquille O'Neal can't hold down a capable younger brother, let alone Chris Webber.
Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball," has to be moved here again.
After winning his first "three consecutive championships", he retired for a year and a half. After coming back, Scottie Pippen had grown up and his spirit was high. He felt strangely comfortable after sitting in the boss position for a long time. , wanting to compete with Jordan for the number one spot on the Bulls.
But not long after, he obediently returned to be his "second boss"!
In terms of leadership in this area, Michael Jordan is more ruthless than Shaq.
If it were him partnering with Kobe, Kobe might not be so eager to resist.
You know, in terms of self-harm ability alone, Kobe is not necessarily as good as Michael Jordan.
"The Breakfast Club" was so scary that Barkley simply gave up!
Of course, above the "God of Basketball", there is another one who is even more awesome. Even if he does not perform well, his "brotherly loyalty" can make the original "big boss" give up the position of "boss". , took the initiative to sit in the "second child" position.
Chris Webber obviously does not meet the conditions for either of these two situations. In the eyes of many media, the public break between Chris Webber and Peja is already foreseeable.
There is even news that "the Kings management will make a decision in the near future!"
The "gorgeous king" will eventually pass away.
However, these things have nothing to do with Miami. After defeating the Kings to get their first two consecutive victories, they ushered in their first away game of the new season.
The opponent is the Washington Wizards.
Last summer, the Wizards snatched Arenas from the Warriors with a contract with a starting salary of 8.5 million.
The deal did not bring any qualitative changes to the team's record at the time, but Arenas had the best season of his career, averaging 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
He is as good as a first-line defender in the league.
This season, Arenas' condition has obviously improved again. In the two games that just ended, he contributed 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
Promoted directly from first-line defender to top defender.
In addition to the fact that the boss is more proficient at his job and has more skill points, it is inseparable from the introduction of Jamison by the Wizards management this summer.
The arrival of the "North Carolina genius insider" gives the Wizards an additional ball-holding offensive point inside. This also means that when opponents defend the Wizards, they cannot just focus on one aspect, but must take into account both internal and external considerations.
In addition to Jamison, Larry Hughes's recovery cannot be ignored.
The 8th overall pick in the first round of 1998 had already averaged 22.7 points per game in his third season after entering the league. Unfortunately, he encountered a career-ending injury, which caused him to catch up in the past few seasons. on their own path.
This season, so far, it seems that we should have caught up.
He scored a total of 46 points in the two games, making him the player with the most points on the team except Arenas.
The average number of steals per game is even more exaggerated, a full 2.6!
For those who didn’t know this, I thought I just came back from the Nanyang Music Festival, and I was really good at “stealing”!
The Wizards relied on such a lineup to achieve a record of 2 wins and 0 losses in the first two games before the game.
Like the Heat, the momentum is hot!
As soon as this game started, the Heat failed to take the initiative as quickly as they did in the previous two games.
Stan Van Gundy's plan for this game is still to focus on the inside attack.
Haywood is a very good "top defender" under the basket, but his partner Jamison is a guy who is strong in offense and weak in defense.
Woody and Shaquille O'Neal's "shooting from left to right" will definitely make Haywood lose his temper.
Shortly after the start, the Heat's situation under the basket was as Stan Van Gundy expected, and they took advantage.
But on the outside, Wade's ball-handling attack on the wing was met with point-to-point single defense by Larry Hughes.
Outstanding effect.
Wade's first three attacks all missed.
If he wasn't physically strong, he could disrupt his opponent's movements through confrontation, and one of his goals was almost intercepted directly.
With him being guarded, there are fewer ball-handlers on the outside.
As for the Wizards, although Larry Hughes is not good at shooting and is also a scorer who can break through with the ball, Arenas is a standard "combo guard". He can break through with the ball and pass the ball to drive his teammates. .
Under his guidance, Larry Hughes can launch a cutting attack inside.
Wade can't guard Arenas one-on-one, but if Gerald Wallace comes to help him, Arenas can easily find a way to get to the basket.
After the first quarter, the two sides were tied 30-30.
The cheers at the scene came one after another. For Washington fans, it was acceptable to play like this in the first quarter. After all, the Heat are the top team in the major media rankings.
The fact that the Wizards can play like this with them shows that they are really strong.
Arenas…
It really led us out!
Arenas' popularity in Washington is growing rapidly.
The reason is that Michael Jordan's comeback in Washington did not reach the expected height. Instead, it delayed the rise of the Wizards for another two years, and left a lot of trouble. Arenas came to Washington at this time, and he He is the representative of hope. Once he leads the Wizards to a slight improvement, these fans will definitely be excited.
The name "General" has been called out.
His performance in the first quarter was indeed heroic, with 7 points and 3 assists. The Wizards were able to maintain a stalemate with the Heat because he alone controlled the entire Heat's defensive formation. It's a bit like "one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men can't open it".
Stan Van Gundy has no plans to change his lineup.
From the current situation, although the Heat do not have an advantage, they do not have any disadvantages, and this kind of game is clearly a game of "highest combat power", so his idea is to let Woody and Shaquille O'Neal play That’s it.
It can't be said that there has been no change in formation at all. He has made some adjustments to Wade's use.
When he uses Wade this season, if he leaves the game early after 8 minutes in the first quarter, he will put Wade on the court as soon as the second quarter comes up. But if he plays for more than 10 minutes, then he will Will let Wade rest for a while at the beginning of the second quarter.
Tonight, Wade played 10 minutes and 11 seconds in the first quarter, but he still let Wade play directly as soon as the second quarter started.
Returning to his "familiar" position, Wade, who made 1 of 6 shots in the first quarter, scored 4 points in a row, successfully helping the team establish a 3-point advantage.
There were boos at the scene, and Kwame Brown...
