I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 132 The regular season and the playoffs are games of two concepts!
Night falls.

American Airlines Center.

At this time, the Heat's home stadium is about to host the 05/06 NBA playoffs G1 game.

At this time, the arena was brightly lit and crowded with people.

On the court, the cheerleaders in cool clothes twisted even more vigorously.

After a brief appearance, Walker chatted with O'Neal and Stojakovic. The three of them were all from the 96 golden generation, and they looked a little familiar.

Of course, Jackson can't be left out in the cold. The Battle of the Palace of Auburn Hills, the name of the Martial Saint is very famous.

Wade and O'Neill were very face-saving, and had a face-to-face meeting with Jackson, and even Jason Williams went over to join in the fun.

If it wasn't for that battle, he wouldn't know that Jackson was in the class in 97. He didn't expect that it would not be enough to have Duncan and McGrady, but also a martial artist.

No one knows, what will happen when the red eye is killed?
I didn't invite people to dinner at that time, remind me that I just chatted, maybe I will give face, when you beat someone, don't slap someone in the face.

Subei was in the second round and Granger was in the first round. They were still unpopular. Although there was communication in the Rookie Challenge, there was no room for them to communicate in this big scene.

At this time, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the arena.

The Pacers started with 5 Tigers, Jeff Foster, O'Neal, Jackson, Stojakovic, Anthony Johnson.

Heat starting five, O'Neal, Haslem, Posey, Wade, Jason Williams.

Subei's starting lineup was dropped, and the Heat had a lot of talent, so the competition was naturally fierce.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentators.

"With O'Neal in charge, the Heat's interior is one of the best in the league.

As for the point guard, there is Jason Williams, Payton as a substitute, and Wade who can be mentioned at any time. The point guard position of the Heat can also be said to be at the top three level. Even if the quality is not enough, the quantity is also exceeding the standard. of.

Unfortunately, the Pacers have not been able to break through from the East in recent years, and the difference is the position of point guard.

In the eastern theater, it is the world of point guards. Without a better point guard, it is impossible to fight in this area.

Kidd of the Nets, Billups of the Pistons, Iverson of the 76ers, Davis of the Hornets (formerly in the East), now Wade of the Heat, and even the Cavaliers put James on the charge Guard position... not for no reason, it is precisely because the point guard position in the eastern theater is too tight..."

"If you want to compete with the West, you must have a good inside line. The center of the Pacers is very average. There is no way to survive against O'Neal of the Heat.

Now this Pacers team has no chance of being a champion. The battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills defeated the Pacers' only championship luck.

It is worth mentioning that Jamal Jensley, the starting point guard of the Pacers, was absent due to injury. Now he can fill the gap between the point guard and the center forward of the Pacers. If there is an amazing performance, It can be a little cold..."

The game is on!

beep-!
The whistle sounded, and the referee threw the basketball into the sky. O'Neal defeated O'Neal Jr. and scored the first attack for the Heat.

"Jason Williams got the ball up the court, took one look at Wade, and he chose to drive.

This is undoubtedly the most correct choice. Anthony Johnson is just a backup point guard, and no matter how you play him, it will not be a wrong choice.

Jason Williams changed direction in front of his body, and his small movements were very smooth. He changed direction while walking, pulled the ball up and picked up the basket. Anthony Johnson obviously panicked. He rushed up and reached out to cut the ball hard.

Snapped--!
Anthony Johnson also made the right call when he fouled Jason Williams..."

Still kind of vicious.

Insufficient skills, using ruthlessness to get together, this is to use momentum to overwhelm people, the playoffs are this kind of intensity, you can't show your timidity easily, or you will easily lose your job.

The Heat sent the sideline player, Wade received the ball and attacked, and it was not Stojakovic who defended him, but Jackson.

Stephen Jackson is very versatile, can defend 1, 2, 3 or even 4...

Wade's breakthrough was followed by Jackson with small steps, close to his body to fight. With the physique of a martial artist and the desperate fighting spirit of a gangster, Wade couldn't take it for a while. Fortunately, Wade was not fighting alone.

"O'Neal pulls out, sets a screen for Wade, shakes off Jackson, and Wade dribbles toward the lane.

Jeff Foster stayed in the penalty area like a wooden stake and did not come out, Wade rushed in and closed the door..."

Bang-dang-!
Wade hung his long arm and used a split dunk to score first for the Heat.

0 to 2! !
Off the court, Riley nodded.

After only watching the first round, he felt that the game was stable.

It is really that the advantages of Wade and O'Neal are too great.

There are several flaws in the Pacers' starting lineup, which is not counting the strength of the bench.

How did you lose this game?
How can this situation be broken?
Compared to Riley's ease, Rick Carlisle had a headache.

He hasn't coached the luxurious Mavericks team yet, and he really doesn't have many cards in his hand.

If he played in the regular season, without such a desperate target, he could still get away with it.

No.

It is very open.

He was really strong in the regular season.

With this kind of hard work in the playoffs, he is a bit difficult to deliver.

Therefore, this is why, even if he won the first place in the Eastern Conference with the Pistons, he will be replaced by Larry Brown.

On the court, the Pacers attacked.

Anthony Johnson was a second-round pick in 1997. He is 1 meters tall. His physical talent is strong, but his skills are rough. Organization and offense are really not the fine work they can do. Most of them use their physical talent to open the way. Desperately defend, when attacking, dribble the ball across the half court, and then hand over the basketball to the star to solve it.

"Basketball, in Jackson's hands, play point forward.

This is also the reason why the Pacers traded Artest. The point guard has no shooting and no organization, Artest also has no shooting, and the offensive space cannot be opened.
The striker's breakthrough is not as fast as the point guard's, and the opponent can completely shrink up and defend. At that time, it is better than shooting. Artest will shoot with a latte?

Now that Stojakovic is on the sidelines, the Heat's defense doesn't dare to take it too far.

Three offensive threats, Jackson feints the ball, Wade sticks close, Jackson goes forward and pulls up a three-point jumper..."

This is trying to make a foul, Wade raised his hands back, making a gesture of surrender.

No foul was caused, and Jackson didn't care, just continue to complete the pull-up shot just now.

Swish-!
Basketball hollow into the net.

Jackson clenched his fists and celebrated.

3 to 2! !
"Wade's defense is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong he is, even if he is as talented as Jordan, he is only 5cm less than Jordan.

At the beginning, Jordan hung himself on the horizontal bar for several hours every day in order to grow taller.

It can be seen that Jordan's understanding of basketball is not comparable to that of ordinary people. If he is not tall enough, he will be easily targeted..."

Wade is at the 1st position, and his talent is indeed overflowing, but playing the 2nd position, in fact, what he has to defend now is the 3rd position. He is not tall enough, and the opponent still has shots. What should he use to defend?
In the down game, the two sides played back and forth.

Jackson's shooting was unexpectedly strong, he was so accurate, he even had a convulsion, and Wade suffered a lot.

Against Jackson's shots, he can collect the ball and break through. With a tough style of play, he will choose to attack O'Neal.

His basketball is to kill opponents.

O'Neal protected the rim, and he didn't retreat half a point. He could only block the shot or send a foul.

In just 6 minutes, Wade was shot 2 three-pointers in the face, while O'Neal was fouled 2 times.

"The Pacers pulled out all the weapons in Game [-]!
This is not surprising. They are not as strong as the Heat, and they can only fight for danger and take the lead. It is estimated that they will find the Heat in the first game.

The Heat don't seem to be ready yet, of course, with their strength, they really don't need to prepare much..."

"The Heat's defense can't stop the Pacers' forward attack. The Pacers also have O'Neal. He killed Haslem, and he is also unstoppable. With the Heat's attack, the basketball flew to the MVP-level shooter. The hands of Stojakovic, the ball, the open, the shot...

This goal scoring is completely no different from sending points! "

"Instead, it's a problem with the Heat's offense.

Jack Williams' breakthrough effect is not obvious. Compared with Anthony Johnson, White Chocolate's physical talent can't crush opponents. The Pacers' defense is shrinking, and their mobility is not bad. The trio's shot was live...

If they only fight for offense, the Heat actually fell behind. "

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Haslem was emptied, and O'Neal rushed back to slap Wade's breakthrough layup.

Jackson got the basketball and rushed to fight back, but Jason Williams rushed back to the half court. He was only 1 meters tall and couldn't stop the impact of 85 meters Jackson.

Bang-dang-!
Jackson made a dunk.

With a score of 24 to 17, the Heat fell behind by 7 points before finishing the first quarter.

Riley couldn't sit still and replaced Jason Williams with Su Bei.

Wade mentioned the point guard, attacking the Pacers' point guard position, and Su Bei kept up with Stojakovic, who could only shoot from the outside. Isn't Jackson omnipotent?

Then just let the equally versatile Posey mark it.

"Riley made a targeted defense, now let's see if this rookie, Su Bei, can show his performance in the regular season?
The regular season and the playoffs are completely two-concept games..."
