Center first

Chapter 242
A brutal game, a Jedi counterattack, this performance is enough to weaken the boos surrounding the Miami Heat. Maybe their performance has not reached the hearty level of the previous stage, but this does not affect them. A win to get yourself some applause.

Although the Miami Heat are still in a bad situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Heat's offense still has many problems, but at least they held on at the most critical moment and used a head-on confrontation to justify themselves up.

Those doubts around Lin Yi also weakened a lot with his performance in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter. When Lin Yi lost consecutively, many people began to criticize the position of this big man among the rookies. The problem is that it is no longer the scene of Lin Yi singing the praises when he won the MVP from the rookie game.

Maybe this is exactly what Lin Yi wanted, and finally let the reporters around him leave him a little bit, but Rogge doesn't like this happening, and he is also worried about why Lin Yi's competitive state has changed so much. Due to the fluctuations, Rogge even called his father.

However, Old Chuck's calm attitude seemed that these things were nothing to worry about at all. In his opinion, this was just a period of adjustment.The Miami Heat went so smoothly in the previous stage, there is nothing wrong with some bumps and bumps, basketball is not smooth from the beginning to the end, don't forget that Jordan also won the championship ring after seven years of beating, Lin Yi This is just the beginning.

Lin Yi's consecutive losses to the team led by Mayo and Derrick Rose made waves in the almost established best rookie selection. Those so-called experts began to consider whether they should continue to support this yellow-skinned little guy.Maybe what he showed in the previous games was just a flash in the pan.

Such remarks are not one or two, including the local newspapers in Miami, who began to speculate whether Lin Yi had hit the rookie wall, and some even said that the center is still not a mainstream position in front of the forward guard. Lin Yi is likely to lose to those two swingmen.

Although the sharp decline in scoring per game did not make Lin Yi too depressed, what he is now melancholy about is his position in the team's tactics.

At the beginning, Lin found that his ability to control the game was gradually weakened, and he even became a marginal man in the Miami Heat's offense. This was what he couldn't bear the most.

It's nothing to lose a lot of points, but it's unacceptable for Lin Yi to let him retreat from a core position to a marginal man, but he can't change the tactical conflict.He has been trying to adjust his position to adapt to Wade's breakthrough, but now he clearly feels that his retreat has caused even greater problems in the operation of the team.

Fan Ling had already noticed these changes when she was recording from the sidelines. She keenly felt that what the Miami Heat were planning might not be a simple change. Maybe when the Heat reacted, Wade and Lin There is always someone who will become a victim of tactical arrangements, and she is worried about Lin Yi's future fate in this team.

But that dead boy's stubborn attitude made her have no good solution. Lin Yi didn't know how to use words to justify anything. He wanted to use actions to explain his role, win the game, and let his performance on the field speak for himself. style.

Fan Ling knew that Spoelstra's speech after the game against the Jazz was not groundless. If he dared to say that, then he must have exchanged opinions with Pat Riley or the management before that. , The arrangement of tactics can no longer continue like this, they already have to make a choice.

Fan Ling's estimate is not wrong. After the game against the Jazz, Pat Riley took the time to explain the opinions of the bosses in the box to Spoelstra. Some things should be revealed. The changes are It needs to be done step by step, but preparations must be made in advance.

Spoelstra's words have brought the Heat's internal affairs to the fore. As for how to change it in the future, it depends on Pat Riley's layout. This old guy has already made up his mind. It's just that he still needs to ponder with his old friend.

After sitting quietly in his office for a long time, Pat Riley picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number. He hoped that his old friend would affirm him like he did a few months ago. In Miami's future, success and failure may depend on one person.

Although Pat Riley knew that he had to choose between Lin Yi and Wade, his own thoughts were not very mature, and now he wanted to find someone to affirm himself. After all, such a decision requires a person who can Supported by strong nerves.

Pat Riley's current call is to call an old guy. Apart from being very cunning, that old guy is also the teacher of one of the guys. He will provide himself with something useful.

"Hey, old Chuck, how are you? It's been a long time since you've come to my American Airlines stadium. Your good apprentice is giving me a hard time, and now you teacher can't hide anymore, you have to Give me a better suggestion, otherwise I won't let go of those bottles of red wine in your house."

Only when drinking with these old guys, Pat Riley's nerves will relax for a moment, so he can reflect the once unruly personality of this fortune teller in his conversation with old Chuck, don't forget that this is The creator of SHOW TIME, he is definitely not a law-abiding guy.

"It seems that you, old fox, are in trouble. Otherwise, you wouldn't think of me at this time. Also, don't worry about my bottles of good wine. I have sealed them up in advance and waited until Lin Yi It’s only when you win the championship that you celebrate it.”

"You guy, if you can't solve the troubles in front of you, you don't want to open those bottles of wine in your life. Chuck, do me a favor and give me some advice. Your little apprentice is also a little gloomy now. You always You don't want to watch him get sick."

"NO, none of the apprentices taught by my old Chuck will be knocked down by such a small matter. Don't worry, that kid just hasn't exploded yet, just wait and see." Old Chuck told Lin Yi's confidence is just like he believed that those bad boys could overthrow the Air Jordan, it has never been lacking.

"Then this little guy's performance in the last few games has been in a very bad state." Pat Riley could only use his trump card, he clearly knew that old Chuck would never let Lin Yi pass by, this old guy Absolutely the best coach.

"It's nothing, haven't you noticed, that kid is still strong and powerful after Wade is off, he is not disabled, so I am not worried that he will not play well, it's just that he hasn't twisted that yet. Bend."

"Then you'd better tell me what to do, I'm already tired of these two little guys' problems."

"You old fox will never say something you are not sure about. In fact, you have already thought about it, but now you need to help you say it through someone else's mouth." Of course, Old Chuck knew that Pat Lai Li is a human being, he continued after laughing and cursing.

"Since you can't decide the affiliation between the two of them, why not let the fans of Miami decide, sometimes grades can determine many things, the most important thing is that he can let those idiot directors behind you know clearly Time to shut up."

Old Chuck's words are really similar to Pat Riley's thoughts. Pat Riley knows that such old guys are the most valuable asset in this league. Even if they are not on the front line of the team, they will always Know what is most needed on this pitch.

Since these two boys can't separate the primary from the secondary when they are on the court, then it's fine to separate them. Since they can't choose by themselves, then use their performance on the court to prove who is right and who is wrong, or who can guide them. who advances.

When the fans react to the tactical choice, Pat Riley is completely sure that Wade or Linyi will change their position in the tactics.

However, the person who made the change is likely to be Wade. Only anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Wade returned to the Miami Heat team, everyone's technical statistics have declined.

That's not to say Wade isn't useful, it's just that he has to make some changes, and Pat Riley knows it all too well.

The reason why he has not moved is because of the lack of an opportunity, and the reason why he keeps Spoelstra from deliberately changing the team's tactics is also because of this.

He needs an excuse, and both the fans and the upper echelons need an excuse for them to make adjustments.

After all, the NBA team is a business operation, and no one wants to lose money and make money. If the team continues to slump, then someone must make concessions.

Pat Riley is very smart to let things develop naturally. This kind of subtle change method will not hurt anyone's face, but when the time comes to make changes, Pat Riley will also be very convenient to do it.

Now that everyone is dissatisfied, well, let's start to change. As for how to choose, let the results speak for themselves. The performance on the field is above all else. This is the benefit of competitive sports. Victory can control everything.

It depends on whether that little guy can shoulder the responsibility of the team at this critical moment. If it goes well, everything will become very simple.

It seems that old Chuck and I have already thought of going together. Although this old guy has been out of the alliance for so long, his vision and mind are still sharp.

"Hey, old fox, are you interested in coming to my box to watch the game? I will reserve the best seat for you." Pat Riley still respects old Chuck, especially him and Lin the relationship between one and the other.

"I don't seem to be in good health recently. Wait for a while, don't worry, those bottles of good wine in your wine cellar have already reserved me as the owner, but they are still waiting quietly. I'll go and taste it." There was a sense of complacency in Old Chuck's laughter.

"Take care of yourself, old man, we still have to watch the day when Lin Yi wins a championship for Miami." Pat Riley and old Chuck said.

They are already old, and they may leave this world one day. Pat Riley cherishes these remaining old friends very much.

"Don't worry, don't forget how strong my body is, oh, don't forget, if you think that Filipino kid under you is not suitable to be your head coach, be sure to call me, I'm ready to replace him at any time s position."

After the old Chuck finished speaking, he laughed loudly on the other end of the phone. His hearty laughter seemed to bring Pat Riley and Chuck Daly back to the days when they gave advice.

"Don't even think about it, I won't let Miami become another Detroit and let the Heat become a rogue army again." Pat Riley said to the phone.

These two old guys were talking and chatting like this, the lights in Pat Riley's office had not been extinguished for a long time, God knows what is there to chat between these two old guys, maybe only people of their age would Know how to cherish every second of time.

No one knows what the magic operator in the office is thinking in his heart, and what kind of changes those things can bring about, and no one knows. The team is still preparing for the task of the game.

It's just that Spoelstra was called into the general manager's office on the second day. The conversation between him and Pat Riley was not long, but when the Filipino came out of the office, his face Hanging a mysterious smile.

The Miami Heat will face the Toronto Raptors at home in a day's time. aggressive, and a very strong desire for revenge.

Jermaine O'Neal wants to sprinkle another handful of salt on the wounds of the Miami people during the most difficult time for the Heat. He will solve the depression of a season here. Even return the money with interest.

As for the Heat just now winning the game against the Jazz, in Jermaine O'Neal's view, it was just a flashback performance. Don't forget that this team lost to the 76ers a few days ago, and that game was a loss Shattered, are we not as good as the 76ers?
Since you guys can block that damn yellow kid, why can't Bosh and I just completely silence him?Just watch, I will look good on that kid.

O'Neal Jr. spoke very loudly to the reporters who interviewed him, and his thick arms kept making gestures in front of the camera.

However, many things can only be proved on the field. Anyone can do such boring things as talking harshly. Spoelstra looked at O'Neal who was performing on TV very disdainfully and curled his lips.

"Guys, see the ugly face of this guy. He has already said that he will come to our door to teach us a lesson. Then I have only one request, to tie him and Bosh's hemp stick for me Throw it back to Toronto and tell him to shut that stinky mouth."

Spoelstra pointed to the small O'Neal who was talking nonsense on the TV screen and said to the Heat players.

Old Horry and McDyess are already rolling up their arms and sleeves and preparing to meet the incoming Raptors shirtless. Old Bell and those guys are not kind people, and few people in Miami are now Fuel-efficient lights.

"Now let me talk about the starting list for the game. Although the game will start tomorrow, I hope to arrange it in advance so that you can prepare yourself for the warm-up activities."

Spoelstra continued after a pause.

"Chalmers, Wade, Haslem, McDyess, Marion, the five of you are starting candidates."

When Spoelstra drew the names of these five players on the tactical board, Lin Yi was stunned. He didn't know why he didn't even have a starting position now.

Not only he was stunned, but the rest of the players including Wade were also stunned. No one knew what happened.

"Coach, I..." Lin Yigang wanted to ask Spoelstra why. Although he seldom negotiated with the head coach about the roster, he couldn't tolerate him now.

"Lin Yi, there is a reason why you are not allowed to start. Follow the order of the head coach." Spoelstra signaled Lin Yi not to ask questions for the time being.

Lin Yi almost didn't pay attention to what Spoelstra said and did next. There was only one thought in his mind, which was that he had been excluded from the main lineup.

Lin Yi didn't know why this happened, could it be because he played poorly in the last few games?I have done my best, why is the responsibility on me?

These questions have been circling in his mind, and Lin Yi has unconsciously clenched his fists.

Spoelstra had been observing Lin Yi's silent expression from the corner of his eye, and he had only one thought in his mind.

"Boy, I hope you can give me a surprise. If you have anger in your heart, it's best to explode all these things to me tomorrow! Some things must be resolved with your hands. This is an opportunity, it's up to you Can you grasp this, don't blame me, the position of every team leader is not easy to come by, come on, kid!"

Wade also didn't listen to anything Spoelstra said, he kept watching the changes in Lin Yi's expression, the little guy who had been silent all this time seemed to lose his spirit all of a sudden.

Wade didn't know why there was such an arrangement, he only hoped that Lin Yi could calm down now.

God bless this little guy, and only God knows what Lin Yi is thinking now.

(Today's Rockets are so crazy, 8 people scored in double figures... This... The Jazz lost too much. With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, it was still an 80:80 draw, and they were overtaken in an instant. It is estimated that tonight's It's time for old Sloan to hold Boozer and Millsap's ears and curse again...)
