basketball never sleeps

Chapter 113 Are you still cannibals?

Midway through the first quarter, Kidd's bad premonition gradually became a reality.

I didn't feel that clearly when I just watched the video. After playing against each other for a few rounds, the Nets players really felt the strength of the league's top players.

Not only O'Neal, Wade and Mo Wen played very actively and efficiently, but the Heat's role players also burst out with unexpected vitality.

The Tridents were angry, but they were not the parties involved. The other players were the direct victims of the massacre.

Haslem ate more cake than O'Brien today. His strong and fierce impact made the Nets in front of the TV seem to see the beast they traded away, Kenyon Martin.

Rasul Butler has been working overtime and practicing shooting recently with great results. He only missed 1 of 4 shots after catching the ball in the first quarter.

Moreover, the vitality of the Heat players is not limited to the offensive end.

Their active and desperate rotation on the defensive end was also an important reason for the gap between the two teams.

The reason why the Nets star outsiders are called the "troika" is because they run fast and their counterattack speed can be compared with that of the Suns in the Western Conference.

Hate the first day of fast break.

"Don't worry, let him go. He missed two free throws. He feels like a mop in the toilet that hasn't been washed for a week. Why are you guarding him? With this level of shooting in our country, even the physical examination of the high school team

If you can't make it through, come on and guard Vince with me."

call out--

For the sake of his own waist, he could only fight tooth and nail.

Pa... Pa... Pa...

Before Kidd had time to be embarrassed, he found that the ball was in his hands again.

Da Zhi, who can play fast breaks with the team and have encrypted calls with Mo Wen in position battles, has found his own niche in the Heat.

With the Nets' crazy fast break in the first quarter, O'Brien spent about half of his defensive rounds making ineffective runs. It would be better to replace him with Dazhi who regained his speed for a while.

However, when the Heat showed off their playoff defensive intensity from the start, the impact and impact of the three of them alone could not withstand the Heat's tenacious pursuit.

A rare sound came from the stadium, and then the scene in everyone's eyes froze.

If the time goes back to three years ago, Carter's fast break alone would be difficult to restrict the Heat's perimeter.

The basketball traced a high trajectory, scraped against the basket and fell into the hands of Haslem who was stuck in position.

Kidd nodded, but felt something was wrong...

No, you still want to pass the ball to me?

Not enough fun?!

But Kidd did not choose to rein in the rhythm. Instead, he locked the car door and stepped on the accelerator to the floor.

The Heat asked O'Fay, who was almost full in the first quarter, to rest off the court for a while.

If you think I can’t hit the shot, then you’ll open your eyes wide!

However, the psychological shadow caused by those three blacksmiths made Kidd's little desire for self-attack disappear.

No need to think for a moment, he is definitely the most desperate one.

Wow, do a three-point iron three times, and you will find new discoveries every time.

The assistant coach asked Frank next to him slightly worriedly.

At the end of halftime, the score difference between the two teams reached 22 points.

If Carter's expression hadn't been sincere enough, he would have really doubted which group this guy belonged to.

When Kidd actually chose to shoot, Wade was actually a little uneasy. Kidd is still one of the top three point guards in active service. Although his offense is a little worse, his shooting percentage is still at the level of an ordinary rotation.

Immediately afterwards, the fans came back to their senses, laughed, and applauded the talent in front of them.

Taking a deep breath, Kidd said to Mo Wen with a cold face: "You will regret it!"

After the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 37:25.

The photographers next to me were dumbfounded.

"Don't be fooled by that kid, everything is his conspiracy!"

As expected, the Nets' scoring problem was alleviated with the speed of 200 miles, but at the same time, the number of Nets' turnovers also skyrocketed, so the score between the two teams was not close, but it only prevented the point difference from further widening.

.

Seeing that Kidd was still hesitating, kind-hearted Mo Wen decided to help him.

"Dazhi was very active in returning to defense. Look at this round, Kidd passed the ball to Jefferson. Dazhi should be careful... Dazhi missed the dunk. It was really dangerous. Dazhi was almost dunked on this ball, but he

He still chose to fight hard. In addition to improving his strength and skills, I feel that he has made more progress in mentality."

No, you are going too far!

Kidd's eyes widened and he almost had angry words tattooed on his face. Do you really think that the two three-pointers he averaged per game are fake?

It's a pity that Kidd, who couldn't even beat the home league, weighed the fighting power of both sides and could only swallow his saliva.

Ah this...

He looked at Carter's trusting eyes next to him, and then at Mo Wen's encouraging eyes.

Ao Pang pretended not to hear, Mo Wen was wandering around, thinking about how to fight later, but Wade was the only one with a serious face.

Carter made only 1 of 5 shots under Mo Wen's entanglement, and the defense was quite ugly. He didn't feel much when the Raptors were playing badly, but now that they started playing against each other seriously, he realized how annoying Mo Wen's defense really was.

The offense and defense changed. Kidd, who came to the defensive end, remembered that Wade's three-pointer didn't seem to be good, so he came up with a song to treat the other person in his own way.

Come back next time.

It’s not the Knicks’ fault, he would still have to use his fists if we let him go.

Don't ask where the inside line is. When O'Neal plays, the Nets' inside line must use human shields, and most of the heavy centers in the league are not as fast as O'Neal after losing weight.

After receiving the ball, Big Cheek took two easy steps, approached the basket, and then pushed the ball back toward the hitting area.

Faced with this kind of point difference, the Nets players played more and more impatiently.

The points difference that was originally slowing down also accelerated.

The Heat scored very evenly. The lowest score among the starting five was Mo Wen's 5 points. However, in addition to scoring, he also scored 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. He also scored 4 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal.

Kidd was evenly matched.

Before Mo Wen could come over, Haslem took the initiative to pull Dazhi up and patted his butt.

The point difference is getting wider and wider, and with no hope of a comeback in sight, the resistance of the Nets players is getting weaker and weaker.

Mo Wen had played against and cooperated with evergreens like Kidd many times in the dungeon, who had a career of more than ten years. He had already figured out Kidd's depth.

Is this mouth really on a human body? He seemed to understand why Knicks had a conflict with Mo Wen.

no···

You are not satisfied with a 12-point lead in a single quarter. Instead, you act like you are 12 points behind. What the hell?

Kidd took two steps slower and took off to block the shot under the basket, but his height, wingspan and jumping made his block only have symbolic meaning.

Da Zhi, who has performed well recently, got the opportunity to substitute for Ao Pang.

Jefferson has the injury certificate issued by the doctor, and the defense always picks the weakest player.

The Nets lineup has not been adjusted, and the team's rest behind the main players will be criticized in this era.

However, when he gave up attacking with the ball, he was not the only one affected.

"Do you want to be a hero for a second, or a coward for a lifetime?"

Seeing this scene, Da Fan also took a deep breath.

Really, no contact?!

Without O'Neal's inside deterrence, the Nets originally thought it was time to chase points, but they didn't expect Wade and Mo Wen to withstand O'Neal's return.

At this moment, basketball is no longer the basketball he loves, but has become a hot potato.

I have this ball! Let’s see if I don’t suck it...

Sa——

"Who hasn't had bad luck yet? It's okay. If he dares to let you go, he will vote again. Whoever sees it can't bear it." Carter also comforted beside him.

True recognition never depends on charity from others, but needs to be earned by oneself.

Haslem followed Mo Wen's advice and coached the left corner three-pointer. He and Dazhi sank into the corner. The Nets' inside line did not expand. Mo Wen passed the ball and hit two corner threes.

They can't stand it if it's divided, and if it's expanded, Wade's breakthrough can do whatever he wants.

He took several deep breaths but couldn't suppress the anger. Kidd really wanted to punch someone.

······

There were still 4 minutes left before halftime. Kidd gritted his teeth and looked at Wade, who was getting further and further away from him under Mo Wen's instigation. The fire in his eyes was already burning through Tianling Gai.

In mid-air, the basketball was motionless and stuck firmly on the neck of the basket.

Sweat dripped from his bald head, and his temples were beating with his heartbeat, making him unable to calm down and think. The faintly sarcastic look on Mo Wen's lips in front of him made him almost go crazy.

After midfield, the Nets, who already knew the Heat's intention to massacre, tried to resist.

Everyone was motionless, and the ball was motionless. The entire stadium seemed to have entered some kind of R-rated movie moment.

After looking at the 18-point difference between the two teams, he gritted his teeth and decided to endure it for now.

But what he doesn't know is that Kidd has a characteristic - he is accurate in free throws, but his shooting may not be accurate, but if he is not accurate in free throws, his shooting will definitely be inaccurate.

"It's only 12 points. This can be called a lead. How can you rest at this time and this point difference? I want more, more! Modo Modo! Do you understand?"

Now that the team is 19 points behind, he doesn't think it's a big deal, but missing three consecutive shots in three ways is really hard to handle.

The Heat's overall shooting percentage was good today, so whether it was a fast break or a positional battle, the Heat's lineup was wide open.

Mo Wen noticed Kidd's actions and position, raised his hand and sent Wade a baseline reverse cut tactical gesture.

Therefore, one of the energy and effort must be drained.

Although Mo Wen's defense was unorganized and undisciplined, it was... so cool.

As a last resort, the Nets had no choice but to put all their hopes into Carter and Jefferson.

But as time has passed, Carter, who came from the Raptors to the "Mud Dragons" (the nickname of the local devils in New Jersey, the Nets once wanted to change their name to the Mud Dragons) is no longer the demigod who casually flies into the sky and escapes from the earth.

Because he and Kidd frequently played fast breaks together, his shots increased, but his dunks decreased.

In another round, when the Nets' fast break was delayed and turned into a positional battle, Mo Wen, who switched defense to Kidd, did an even better job.

Without having to worry about Kidd, Mo Wen and Wade were freed to defend Carter and Jefferson with all their strength, which brought the Nets' offense to a standstill again.

"If you play like this, will you lose your temper later?"

Director Zhang, who was commentating on this game in China, nodded unconsciously. He was also an insider and he was very sensitive to Da Zhi's progress.

O'Neal was originally very happy to score 10 points in the first quarter, but when he looked back at the data, he only grabbed 1 rebound in 11 minutes of playing time.

If the team hadn't been ahead by more than ten points, he would not have dared to play like this.

Da Fan waved his tactical board and spat passionately.

Why is the defensive three-second zone so big?

This was not the first time that Kidd felt helpless because of his mediocre offensive ability, but this time he felt particularly uncomfortable.

At this moment, Detroit's bald defender saw this scene and fell into deep thought.

Looking at the point guards on both sides who were getting more rebounds than they were scoring, he felt like his head was green.

Physical discomfort is better than being tortured like this.

Mo Wen bent over and smiled while taking the lead in applauding this classic scene.

During this period, he had already begun to transform. His proportion of three-pointers and long two-pointers increased, and his shooting percentage was close to the best level in his career.

But there was a problem. Wade didn't have the ball in his hands. He didn't care how far away Kidd was from him and just continued his regular movement.

The ball that hit the neck of the basket was considered a dead ball. Seeing that Kidd was not in a good mental state, Frank called a timeout.

Jordan and Kobe often explode when they are angry, and when Kidd is angry...

duang~!

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high. Carter was lucky enough to pick up the long backboard, and then passed the ball to Kidd without thinking.

So, this is what he was trying to defend before?

And You Zhan, who was also watching the live broadcast without a game, suddenly felt that the dirty tricks he used when confronting Mo Wen were not unacceptable.

After adjusting his posture again, with everyone watching, Kidd finally chose to shoot.

Mo Wen's proposal before the game seemed to be motivating other players, but it was actually threatening him. If it had been someone else, he might not have been able to do this, but Mo Wen and Ao Pang definitely have the strength and the courage to do this.

Bet cashed out.

Shark's ability to protect the frame is several times that of Dazhi, but the prerequisite for him to protect the frame is that he can return to defense in time.

Wade, who was left open, started very quickly. When Wade slipped away from the left elbow area under Haslem's screen, Mo Wen's pass followed in time.

All kinds of outrageous and dangerous fast-break long passes appeared on the court.

But the fact shocked him greatly.

After fumbling for half a quarter, the Nets finally found the secret to defending the Heat. O'Neal had rested enough and came back.

Jefferson, who had suffered a loss, moved closer to Kidd.

After taking the shot, Kidd clenched his fists excitedly as he looked at the basketball that was following a very positive trajectory.

As a veteran golfer, Kidd has a strong ability to regulate himself. He quickly suppressed his embarrassment and returned to the game.

It’s not easy to guard against players who rely on their bodies to attack, but for technical players...

Welcome to my home court!

Kidd pursed his lips and looked serious. The cracks in the floor of the American Airlines Arena are a bit small. What should I do if I can't get through?

It's quite urgent, waiting online.

As a heavy guard, Kidd couldn't guard against Wade's breakthrough. If Carter was asked to defend Wade, Kidd would have to face Mo Wen, who was a head taller than him, and used his height to attack him.

Frank, who had just paused to communicate with Kidd, was now confident, and the old god said:

"It doesn't matter if we lag a little behind at the beginning. There are fewer and fewer straight roads in the back section of Qiu Mingshan and more and more sharp turns. That's when we can show off our skills."

But the death knell has already sounded.

In half a quarter, the score difference between the two teams reached double digits, 18:8.

Seeing Kidd holding the ball on one side, he took two steps directly and looked at Kidd from a distance like a football goalkeeper guarding a penalty kick.

Even though he has experienced strong winds and waves, Kidd still feels extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that Wade had no intention of defending, Kidd raised the ball and aimed at the frame outside the three-point line, like a free throw. He paused for a while before raising his hand to shoot.

His explosive power is still at the top level in the league, and he is still the top outside player in the league. After coming to the Nets, he averaged 27 points per game, which is the most powerful evidence. However, after the transformation, he poses no threat to Mo Wen.

Dropped two levels.

22 points···25 points···30 points···40 points···

However, what makes them even more desperate is that the Heat still have no intention of replacing their main players.

Mo Wen, Wade, and O'Pang were at least two on the court at the same time.

Frank: Are you still cannibals?
