Center first

Chapter 124 Journey to the West
(Home of the Dallas Mavericks: American Airlines Center
Home of the Miami Heat: American Airlines Arena
The above questions were asked by a friend in the comment area. The Mavericks’ home court is generally called American Airlines Center, and the Heat’s home court is generally called American Airlines. So I didn’t mistype the names, but their two home courts The names are too similar. )
Quiet, deathly quiet, perhaps the quietest home game at the American Airlines Center since Cuban took over.Even Cuban, who has always been active, shut his mouth and sat in his seat honestly. The blood-red numbers on the scoreboard hurt the hearts of all Mavericks fans. 110:72, it's a pity that they are the numbers behind.

There were only 2 minutes left in the time, but the fans in the stadium began to choose to exit silently. Their most beloved team was brutally dismembered by their opponents in front of their eyes, and there was no room for resistance.

Meeting the old opponent in the 06 finals again, no one would have thought that their team would lose so badly, and the opponent was just a team that had just crawled out of the ruins. After more than two years, the Mavericks were so weak At this point, they are no longer the ever-victorious division.

Now Wade and Lin Yi have teamed up to tell the old cows in the bloodiest way that it is time for you to start preparing for reconstruction. The horns that are no longer sharp can no longer pierce the opponent's body.The entire fourth quarter has been reduced to garbage time. Except for Barea of ​​the Mavericks who continued to sprint back and forth on the court, the Mavericks who had lost their courage completely gave up resistance and let the Heat's substitute players perform wantonly on the court. .

Cuban lowered his head slowly on his seat. The bulls under him could no longer continue to raise their hooves to break through the opponent's defense. With the slow offensive rhythm and inefficient tactical coordination, the current Mavericks are no longer the ones who rely on offense The crazy team that swept the league, maybe he is now regretting letting go of Harris and Nash.

Nowitzki and Kidd on the bench looked at Lin Yi and Wade who were comparing each other in the rest area of ​​the Heat. For the first time, they felt that they were old. Lin Yi and Wade told the audience in three quarters. Know what they call impact.

Dampier and Hollins couldn't restrain Lin Yi even in the two-hand attack. This young guy used his strong hands to destroy the Mavericks' confidence in trying to control the three-second zone with his powerful hands on both ends of the attack and defense.The entire penalty area is covered by his hands, and any attack that wants to cross his defense line will stop here.

Six blocks, every time the sound of his palms slapping the basketball trembled the nerves of the Dallas people, he used the most direct way to warn all creatures in the restricted area not to enter his field, the blood here is abnormal. With 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 assists, Lin Yi dominated the Dallas sky with his perfect performance.

On the one hand, only Dirk Nowitzki and Howard scored in double digits on the Mavericks, and no one had more than double digits in rebounds. Lin Yi and Haslem made the Mavericks shooters desperate in terms of rebound control. Dampier and Howard Lins' weak hands could only grab the shadow of the basketball in the air.

Wade's offensive power alone offset the opponent's total points in the two quarters. His super high shooting rate of 19 of 14 and his desire to attack the basket allowed him to steal 40 points from the opponent. Called a few fouls, maybe he'll take 50+ from here tonight.

Marion also put a bet on his future with 18 points and 8 rebounds. It can be said that the last quarter of the game almost became the performance time of the Heat. Unfortunately, it was not at their home court, and they could not enjoy it. There was applause like a tsunami, and there was only deathly silence here.

Lin Yi enjoyed the current atmosphere very much. They buried an old opponent with their own attacks. Even the lunatic who refused to admit defeat stopped his crazy performance. There is no better result than this. After a while the cow will be back on its feet again.

Rick Carlisle shrugged helplessly at the press conference after the game.

"Our interior is completely out of control. You can all see the destructive power of that little guy. I don't think there are many guys in this league who can defend him one-on-one. His mobility and shooting ability are too outstanding. Even without Dwyane on the court today, it would be very difficult for us to win the game." After saying this, he politely chose to exit.

The microphones on the other side have already piled up in front of Spoelstra. This young head coach will not be stingy with any words of praise to praise his players, because today's game really won beautifully. No chance was left to the opponent.Whether on offense or defense, they overwhelmed their opponents with the most complete performance.

Lin Yi and Wade in the locker room continued to be besieged by reporters, and they were always surrounded by the most people during post-match interviews. Lin Yi was using his own hands to win respect for himself.

On the second day in Dallas, the media pointed out the performance of the team yesterday. Maybe our Mavericks should consider starting over again. You should know from the Heat pairing last night. In fact, rebuilding is not a very bad choice. The old man The Mavericks can't live up to Dallas' expectations.

The Heat, who embarked on a trip to the West in the final days of late 08, have now taken the sharpest knife to decapitate an old bull, taking bloody steps in a brutal back-to-back trip. first step.

The guys were back on Sacramento turf 24 hours later, and Lin took another 11 rebounds and 19 points off the head of Spencer Hawes at Arco Field, but back-to-backs and long-distance travel fatigue still Delayed the speed at which they won the game.

The battle between the Kings and the Heat didn't begin to widen the gap until halfway through the fourth quarter. The Kings' lineup with an average height of nearly two meters put a lot of pressure on the Heat. If it wasn't for the pair of Lin's good control of the space around the basket, they might It's about to stumble on this humble guy.

100:89, the Heat continued to use their offense to grab the victory.

This year's kings have no chance of revenge. They were double-killed by the Heat at home and away, and they have little chance to wrestle with this resurrected king in the near future. The difference in strength only gave them hope for a moment. Unfortunately, the basket The lower palm still ruined the possibility of their reversal.

Wade is now firmly in prison at the top of the league's scoring list, and Lin Yi's rebounding has also begun to steadily enter the top ten rankings.Now I don't know how many managers and scouts are being cursed by their bosses, and the old treacherous Pat Riley has once again become the object of their hatred.

The big man resources, which were already scarce, were so lucky to be selected by the Heat, and the ability he has shown now may even fools see his value in the future.It's just his first season, he's only 19 years old, and this guy might just be another dominant center in the league.

Now many people's eyes are focused on the rookie in 09. Everyone expects to be as lucky as the Heat. Now Lin Yi is just like the Spurs betting on Duncan back then. They did not let their club down. demonstrate the ability to be convincing.

Under the gaze of more and more people, the Heat left for Los Angeles after only 24 hours of rest. Their next opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers, is waiting for them at the Staples Center under the leadership of Baron Davis. coming.

Spoelstra now not only has to pay attention to the game in front of him, the next opponent may be the strongest opponent they have encountered in this trip to the west.

Regardless of the future, the current Clippers are already hot enough to cause headaches. In the first two games, Lin Yi, who has been in the paint all the time, finally met a pair of opponents who made him feel the pressure.

The progress of the game was just as he expected. Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman, the best defensive players in the regular season in 2007, combined to bring Lin Yi a lot of trouble in this game. These two guys Plus the scoring and defensive ability are not bad, Lin Yi and Haslem teamed up with McDyess to suppress these two guys.

It was the first time that Lin Yi felt that it was so difficult to compete for rebounds. The ability of these two strong guys to protect rebounds could be said to be impeccable. Lin Yi could only rely on the positioning skills and the balance.

These two old fritters never gave Lin Yi any chance to relax. In this game, Lin Yi stood in the three-second zone for 38 minutes. The exhaustion from continuous battles made him almost dehydrated when he left the field.The fierce fight at the basket exhausted all his strength. He was able to pick up 10 rebounds and 18 points in the hands of these two strong men. In addition, he suppressed the scores of both opponents below 10 points. Enough to be worthy of his sweat.

However, in the last three seconds before the end of the game, the Heat relied on Wade's fatal blow to win the game. The score of 97:96 made Spoelstra's heart almost stop beating. Although the team's performance is not bad, but the occasional outburst can make people break out in a cold sweat.

The sudden outburst of the bearded Baron Davis almost stopped the Heat's winning streak in this game, but the Clippers led by him have begun to slow down the Heat, which had been accelerating in the early stage, to grab the victory pace of.

No one knows whether the Heat team, which is exhausted due to physical exertion, can be alive and well after 24 hours. Even Spoelstra can't grasp the physical condition of these extremely exhausted players. recover.

The next opponent is not so easy to knock down. The second place in the Western Conference is not something that anyone can take casually. Whether the light blue attack storm in the Pepsi Center will extinguish the burning heat is no longer predictable. The first collision between these two sharp offensive teams may make many people look sideways.

The Denver Nuggets are such a team that lives on offense. The old guy George Karl is waiting to lead the NBA's new attack frenzy with gorgeous cooperation again. Whether the tired Heat can continue to burn depends on whether their offense The attack of the Nuggets can be suppressed, and a gorgeous showdown is about to be staged.
