basketball never sleeps

Chapter 106 Why has your voice become so hoarse?

"The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. Who would have thought that the Nets, who were easily manipulated by the Heat during the season, would actually complete the role swap and become the dominant side in the game just two months later."

"When O'Neal, Wade and Mo are all on the court, they are strong enough to defeat any enemy, but the absence of the Trident has made people see the Heat's weak bench. If the Heat want to go further in the playoffs

, Pat Riley still needs to work harder on signings."

On TV, the commentator in charge of this game looked at the terrifying score difference between the two teams and said helplessly.

The fourth quarter hasn't even started yet, and more than half of the Heat's home fans have left.

Mo Wen was suspended, Wade was injured, and O'Neal only played half the game due to sudden arm pain before being replaced and unable to play again, and the point difference on the field had reached a terrifying 32 points.

How can Miami fans who have not yet woken up from their winning streak endure such a scene? Those who are staying and not leaving are the ones who stayed because they saw too many people leaving and were afraid of being caught in a traffic jam.

Some games die in the middle of the game and are buried until the end of the game.

If nothing else, this game will be their worst loss this season.

Dafan was still a little behind in his Qi-building skills. Seeing that the team might lose by a big score, he felt as if he was being tortured. He also tried to constantly mobilize his troops to resist the newly rebuilt and strong basketball team.

net.

In this regard, he was not as good as Cole later. In a losing game, he directly replaced the "Prince" to torture the audience, then handed the tactical board to the assistant coach, and sat in his seat with his head down to sleep.

Just two words - free and easy!

Mo Wen frowned when he looked at the score difference between the two teams and the excited crowd of the Nets, but didn't say anything.

He and Wade usually together account for 60% of the team's ball usage. With both of them missing together, the rest of the Heat will not be able to adapt in a short period of time.

The Heat's substitute point guard Kenyon Dulin has good organizational skills, but forgetting about offense, he usually brings a substitute lineup to play with the same opponent as Cai Kun, and let him face up to the top three current point guards like Kidd.

Being able to avoid a few mistakes is the greatest success.

Damon Jones and Rasul practiced more catching and shooting, and they were rarely required to attack with the ball. Facing the Nets' two top swingmen's defense, it was difficult to find opportunities. After O'Neal came off the court,

, the team's offense actually has to rely on Haslem, the forward, to open up the situation.

Stan Van Gundy tried to save some face for the Heat by using a fast break style of play. Unfortunately, not everyone can play fast break, let alone Kidd himself is an expert in fast break.

Although the Nets' lineup is undergoing a major overhaul in the summer, his top point guard's ability to control the court is there. His role is like the engine of a supercar. If you give him a frame, as long as it is not completely rusted, he can carry it.

You get excited.

What's more, the team's lineup is not much worse after adjustments.

Carter, who felt like he was about to retire due to the Raptors' "Jade Syndrome", moved to New Jersey and was immediately resurrected with full health. He once again showed his level as the league's top swingman. He cooperated with Kidd in several consecutive games. It was a blast.

Shuiqi, in the past three games.

His scoring rate has doubled from when he was with the Raptors, from averaging 15 points per game to 27 points per game.

True Most Improved Player.

No more acting, let’s show off, I’m pretending!

Carter, who has scored 38 points in the first three quarters of this game, still has no intention of leaving the game. He is obviously planning to have a career night while the Heat owner is not at home to retaliate against the Raptors management for treating him.

"Hurt" and contempt.

I have to say, this guy's emotional intelligence is really touching. Originally, Raptors fans thought Carter was a victim when it came to Carter being traded. It was the stupid Raptors management that forced him away. Complaints on the Raptors official website

The phone calls were almost exploded by angry fans, and major forums were full of curses.

Because no matter how much noise Carter makes about leaving, it can't erase the Raptors fans' feelings for Carter, nor can it cover up Carter's contribution to the Raptors.

But if he does this, even the dullest Raptors fans will be confused. When others are traded, they change teams (not people), but when you are traded, you change teams and people?

Carter thought he was retaliating against the management, but the people who were hurt the most were the Raptors fans who were sincerely seeking revenge.

In the Nets' last game, Kidd, who made 0 of 8 shots against Billups and only scored 2 points on free throws, also wanted to make up for the loss in this game.

The Heat's two substitutes have mediocre perimeter defensive abilities, and the "basically non-offensive" players also made a rare "attack" today, recording a 20+ triple-double in three quarters.

And as if to show off his strength in front of Mo Wen, a contender for the "assist king", he had no intention of leaving the game and stayed on the court with Katta to rack up assists.

Jefferson, who was previously expected to return in February, also made a "fire comeback" in this game, making trouble on the Heat's perimeter and having a great time.

There is a recognized unspoken rule in the NBA - when the point difference widens to a certain extent, the leading team should replace its main players to save some face for the losing team. This unspoken rule seems to be invalid in front of the Nets today.

Average.

The pleasure of being able to brutally beat the league's first team made everyone on and off the basketball court feel a little carried away, even though they knew that the happiness in front of them was only based on the fact that the heat engine stalled.

Seeing the excited performance of everyone in the Nets, Mo Wen suddenly felt like he was watching a horror movie.

In order to seek excitement, a bunch of young people dare to touch and play with anything.

"These New Jersey bastards are a little too much and don't follow any rules."

O'Pang, whose application for playing was rejected by the coaching staff again, said dissatisfiedly with a livid expression on his face.

Wade didn't speak, but judging from his bulging cheeks, he was quite angry.

Only Mo Wen was the one who looked the most carefree, wearing a suit, chewing gum, and watching everything on the field coldly like a bystander.

The greatest virtue of an adult is not restraint, but keeping accounts and settling accounts.

To be honest, the Heat's current predicament has a lot to do with him, but he still doesn't regret his shot in the last game.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, the Nets' coach Frank, who had no independent opinion, really allowed several main players to play for most of the quarter.

If the Heat players hadn't made more and more moves under Van Gundy's instructions, it felt like they could have waited until the end of the game.

Nets 125:80 Heat.

Due to the Nets' unethical behavior, the Heat almost created the largest point difference in team history.

After the game, Van Gundy shook hands with the proud Frank with red eyes.

"Good job, you guys really... did a great job."

Knowing that he had offended the person in front of him so badly, Frank smiled awkwardly, but he was not too embarrassed. They also encountered the same dilemma at the beginning of the season, and they were also beaten miserably by the Heat in that game.

, in his opinion, it is now tit for tat, even.

"Sorry Stan, I think you know that life is full of surprises, just like our opening game, isn't it?"

"What you said is right, I've written it down. Haha."

Da Fan replied with a smile, saying that this game was the biggest point difference and the biggest stain in his career since entering the NBA.

In the opening game, the Heat also led the Nets by 41 points, but in the last quarter of that game, he did not retain any main force, allowing the Nets to recover the point difference back to 25 points.

There is no doubt that Frank is repaying kindness with vengeance.

Originally, there was no big grudge between the two teams in the history, but after this game, there was, and it was big.

On the other side, the Heat Trident took the other substitutes directly to the locker room before the game ended.

Such things as friendly handshakes after the game didn't exist when the Nets were leading by a big margin and still had their main players trying to score points.

The home team's locker room was quite quiet today. All the Heat players who played during the game had their heads lowered. The three eldest brothers in the team didn't speak, and no one else dared to make a sound.

"Hey, Mo, your defense tonight was like melted ice cream. I can't imagine that Carter actually scored 51 points on you! You deserve a treat to atone for your sins!"

To everyone's surprise, O'Neal, who had anger written all over his face, did not "speak dirty", but instead used a joking tone to ridicule.

"No, no, no, you are wrong. Wade was responsible for guarding Carter most of the time in this game, and I was guarding Kidd, so Dwyane has to pay for this meal."

Mo Wen understood O'Neal's meaning almost instantly and gave Wade a push.

Wade looked a little confused when he looked at the two people on his left and right. He didn't react for a while. On the contrary, the team socialite Kenyon Dulin, who had been abused by Kidd for most of the game, seemed to understand something. He turned around and said boldly:

"Kidd scored a 20+20 triple-double in this game. Mo, you still want to treat me."

Mo Wen pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, which made Kenyon Dulin's heart skip a beat, but Mo Wen then gave him a reassurance with his gentle lips.

"Oh, it was indeed my problem that made that old guy take the limelight. But, you guys, watch out. I will personally get this account back next time. 20 assists, I really haven't brushed it.

, when you hit the net later, wipe the sweat off your hands. If anyone dares to waste my pass, just wait to be kicked in the butt by me!"

Mo Wen patted Kenyon Dulin on the back and took the pot naturally.

It was a miserable loss, but no one in the Heat was a war criminal. The players on the field did their best, and the players off the field who couldn't play also had good reasons, so there is nothing to complain about.

Mo Wen's inexplicable behavior of taking over the blame appeared to be a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but in fact it concealed his commitment to future games.

Wade, whose reflex arc was half a beat slower, also slowly came to his senses:

"I'll treat you to this meal first. 20+ assists is too difficult. I feel like my 50 points is easier. That shameless guy Vince made too many free throws today, otherwise he would definitely not be able to score so many points.

I will definitely call back next time to let him know - this is my horse!"

The next meeting between the two teams is not far away. In just over half a month, the Nets will visit Miami again.

By then Mo Wen's suspension is over, Wade and O'Neal have recovered from their injuries, and it will be time for the Heat as a whole to start eating people.

With Carter, the Nets lineup seems to be no worse than when they were runners-up in the previous two years, but like the Wizards, they are luxurious on the outside and bankrupt on the inside.

Whenever there is a game, Mo Wen and Wade can play to help O'Neal share the pressure, not to mention narrowing the point difference, it is possible to win.

The Heat lost by a huge score, which attracted a lot of people's attention, but when they saw the Heat's lineup in the second half, no one was surprised.

Carter originally thought that he would receive a lot of praise for scoring 50 points, but when he turned on the TV the next day, he saw various doubts about his behavior of scoring points in the final quarter.

···

In the third game of Mo Wen's suspension, Wade, whose ankle was swollen, wanted to force his comeback. The opponent in the next game was the Pacers. Although Artest was suspended in the regular season, it did not affect that they were still the Heat's strong opponents in the playoffs.

, Wade is afraid that the team will suffer another big defeat like the last game.

But Pat Riley, who always likes to emphasize toughness, uncharacteristically stopped Wade's impulsive thoughts.

"Don't be impulsive. The team now needs you to stay as healthy as possible, Dwyane. One or two wins no longer means much to us. Our goal is the playoffs."

What made Riley change his approach was not Mo Wen's evasion, but reality.

The Heat need reinforcements, but the team's salary level has reached the salary cap, which means that they can only strengthen through trades, and other teams are not stupid and cannot assist Riley at this juncture.

Therefore, reinforcement is basically impossible. The Heat can only sign a few scraps that no one wants in the free market, and then rely on the current main lineup to win the championship.

Just like some scumbag men and scumbag women, they suddenly become gentle not because of some prodigal return, but because they found out that they had no choice after testing the blind date market...

Facts have proven that not everyone is immoral.

Carlisle was very sensible when facing the Heat, who rested O'Neal, and only played the main role for half the game, replacing O'Neal and Jackson, who have the strongest scoring ability.

This leaves a bunch of rookies to interact with the Heat's bench bastards in good faith.

It wasn't until the end of the game that they defeated the Heat by 19 points, which saved Da Fan enough face.

Who knows how much of Da Fan's sadness is contained in this word "talent".

Da Fan felt as if he was suffering from some disease. He lost by 19 points, but he was still very happy.

The Pacers were so generous, and O'Brien reciprocated the courtesy. After the game, he took the Pacers to experience a luxurious version of Miami style.

Mo Wen, on the other hand, was entangled by Artest, who was also in the suspension period.

"Let me tell you, you just met those weaklings. They are not New Yorkers at all. Any serious person we pick out in Queens can beat them down. Marbury also said that he is from Brooklyn.

Yes, bah!"

Mo Wen: "······"

"That bastard from the Pistons is a sneak attack. If I let him have a hand under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to get into me! Let me tell you, when I was in Queens..."

Seeing Artest talking more and more enthusiastically, Mo Wen silently took out his mobile phone and dialed a frequently used number.

"Hey, Mo, are you listening to me? Who the hell are you calling?"

Artest, who was a little drunk, snatched the phone from Mo Wen's hand.

"Way? Who the hell are you?"

"······"

"Brother? Brother Mo? Why has your voice become so hoarse?" A voice that sounded very familiar to Artest came from the other end of the phone.
