I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 162 The new season starts, one god leads four pits!

Entering October, the warm-up match is over.

The Heat got a record of 1 win and 6 losses, and various problems gradually exposed.

First up was O'Neal, who had put on weight again, and Riley didn't dare to let him go on for too long.

After winning the championship again, O'Neal began to let himself go. How could he, who was not self-disciplined, refuse the donut?
In addition to his style of play, he doesn't practice much anymore. He feels that eating donuts can make him stronger.

Especially for him who plays happy basketball, he won one more championship than Kobe, who is more self-disciplined. He is more lazy and inactive.

It can only be said that O'Neill is too small, and the layout is still too small.

In the previous life, when O'Neal was old and found that Kobe was about to win 5 championships, he realized it at that time, and tried his best to catch up and stop him.

At that time, when you are old and useless, how can you chase and block it?
Don't ask, asking is just hugging your thighs everywhere.

After hugging James, I won't talk about it. After all, he didn't go to the front. James has no championship, so he can bring experience to help the poor.

Finding that James couldn't take him, he didn't take him when he went to the group, so he simply joined the Green Army who couldn't beat him.

Whether he is a sworn enemy?
His only thought was to stop Kobe from piling on his championships.

Why bother?Why did you go early?
As a result, he was nothing but a thicker skin, and got nothing.

Payton and Mourning, a 38-year-old and a 36-year-old, were not interested in the warm-up match, as if they were waiting for the playoffs, they played health-care basketball.

Walker's state has declined visible to the naked eye, his three-point shooting is even more wavering, and his defensive attitude is not as hard as it was when he didn't win the championship last year.

Subei, Posey, and Dorrell White, who came back from the Development League, are all in contract years. They play actively, but their style of play has become unique.

The role players have no intention of playing for the team, the lineup is aging, there is no motivation to compete for the championship, and there is no lineup reinforcement, and the warm-up games are not paid much attention to. Wade has finished the finals and will play the World Championships. It is not uncommon for the game to achieve such a record.

Sports Illustrated and NESP released the strength rankings for the 06/07 season, but they did not underestimate the defending champion because the Heat did not play well in the warm-up match. They gave an average ranking, which is the third in the league.

The Mavericks and Spurs are ranked above the Heat, No. 4 is the Cavaliers who have been running for a season, and the next 5 to 10 are the Suns, Pistons, Rockets, Bulls, and Bobcats.

……

October 10, Miami.

Night falls.

At this time, the opening game of the 06/07 season was being held at the American Airlines Center Arena, which was crowded with crowds and brightly lit.

In the arena, the lights suddenly went out, and then the lights gradually came on. The players of the Heat team had already lined up on the court.

Heat team owner Micky Arison and Pat Riley, president, general manager and head coach, are awarding diamond rings, namely NBA championship rings, to the heroes of last season.

Su Bei also got his own one.

Except for O'Neal, everyone else is the first in the NBA career. The scene was very moving and tender. It was shown to the audience and received waves of applause and cheers like a tsunami, which gave the players enough face.

On the passageway where the players entered and exited, the players who played against the opponent tonight were watching with their heads stretched out. The envy and hatred on their faces and eyes were completely undisguised.

The face is also full of fighting spirit. The opponent is building a tall building and entertaining guests. The Bulls players have reached an agreement that if they want to fight their lives, they will let the Heat team collapse. Voice, they don't want to be supporting actors.

If they had to be prevented from becoming the protagonists, there was only one way, and that was to overthrow the stage.

The opponent against the Bulls team is full of talent. This Bulls team is very similar to the Thunder team five years later. The only difference is that they have not surpassed superstars, but there are many young talents and many players who can play and fight hard.

During the warm-up, Hinrich chatted with Wade and congratulated him on getting the first championship ring of the 03 Platinum generation.

Big Ben just joined the Bulls to experience poverty relief. In order to show his existence, he also found O'Neal and Walker to chat and congratulate them by the way.

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

"Championship ring!
Payton and Mourning finally got the championship ring they wanted most!
Even though they got it by hugging their thighs, I still have to congratulate them, finally their dream came true, they realized their dream of being champions by hugging their thighs! "

"Are you sour?

You hold Olajuwon's thigh, you can't win the championship, so you are jealous, right?

What unhappy thoughts do you have now, can you say it, and make everyone happy! "

"Bah! The two championship rings that you hold Olajuwon, you only got them because Michael retired.

In my opinion, the most handsome thing is not getting the championship ring, but earning a lot of annual salary. Without money, Michael Jordan won 6, he is still so handsome!
It's not because he is rich that people think he is handsome!

Therefore, the championship ring is nothing special, the key is to make money. "

"Talking about money hurts feelings, let's talk about the lineup strength of the two teams tonight!
If you were asked to bet, which team would you be optimistic about? "

"There is no need to think about it, it must be a talented and talented Bulls team, look at O'Neal's figure, it is completely out of shape.

From my point of view, tonight's Shaquille O'Neal will definitely not be in a good state, unless he can be given donuts during the game, otherwise, after receiving the championship ring, his mind has drifted off the court. "

"Not at all!
Could this opener, the ring ceremony, possibly screw the Bulls?
Impossible, I'm betting the Heat will win because, last season they took the same lineup and won everything..."

The Bulls started 5 Tigers, Big Ben, PJ Brown, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Hinrich.

The Heat started 5 people, O'Neal, Walker, Haslem, Wade, Payton.

Su Bei's face was calm. After the agent and the Heat couldn't agree on a contract extension, they had already foreseen such an operation with Su Bei.

Want to win a contract on the pitch that you didn't get on the negotiating table?
Riley can also use the 'court' to make Su Bei compromise and accept a humiliating contract. He has the final say on everything about the Heat.

Even if Jason Williams is out due to injury, he can play whoever he wants.

beep-!
The whistle blew and the referee threw the basketball into the sky.

Snapped--!
O'Neal beat Big Ben and got the ball first for the Heat.

"Paytons got the ball upfield, lobbed it to Shaquille O'Neal, boom!
Catch the ball, slam it, O'Neal turns and hooks..."

Bang-dang-!
It's hard.

PJ Brown picks up the rebound, points the ball to Hinrich to advance, and points the ball to Ben Poden in the frontcourt.

"Ben pulled out and found a pick-and-roll for Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon burst into the penalty area, stormed in front of O'Neal..."

Snapped--!
Ben Gordon was thrown to the ground.

beep-!
The referee whistled for O'Neal's thug foul, and Ben Gordon got two free throws.

Swish-swish-!
Ben Gordon was not relentless, and made two free throws, opening the scoring account for the Bulls.

2 to 0! !
"Judging from the first attack and first defense just now, we can see how bad O'Neal's state is. He's already drifting. If he continues to play like this, O'Neal won't be able to last long, and he will graduate..."

O'Neal is not strong, and Payton passes the ball to Wade to play.

Not to mention, after experiencing the baptism of the finals, Wade has really been reborn.

Hinrich can be regarded as Wade's number one nemesis. However, it is useless. Wade takes the ball and rushes into the inside.

Swish-!
Two points hollow into the net.

2 to 2! !
"Wade's CIC went up.

Both rhythm and fluency are much better than before. "

Most importantly, Wade shot more confidently, and in the subsequent offensive round, he scored a three-pointer.

The offensive efficiency soared. In the first quarter, he made 5 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws. While scoring 10 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, he also defended against Hinrich who made 6 of 2 shots. , 2 of 0 three goals, 2 of 1 free throws, only scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds.

Wade suppressed Hinrich both offensively and defensively. However, the score was 22 to 16, and the Heat fell behind.

The shooting of both sides is actually not good.

However, the Bulls played harder and hit the basket frequently. In the first quarter, they scored 17 free throws and made 12 of them.

The Heat played very carefully, shooting from the outside.

Walker made 4 of 1 shots and 2 of 0 three-pointers.

Haslem was 4 for 0.

Payton is 2 for 1.

O'Neal made 2 of 0 and 2 of 1 free throws.

Riley had a headache watching it. Wade has gone up, but he just led four holes in one mind. No matter how much he goes up, what's the use of it?
In the second quarter, Wade continued to play and Su Bei came off the bench.

Posey, Mourning, Dorell White play.
