Center first

Chapter 64 Debut
Barcelona is not only the famous fantasy football team, he also has a basketball team that makes European clubs dread.It can be said that more than half of the main players of the Spanish national team that achieved No.2 results in the Beijing Olympics came from here.The two brothers of Pau Gasol, Juan Navarro and Fernandez, the one who may have left the deepest influence on people is the Juan Navarro nicknamed "Bomb".

Juan Navarro, a top defender who has been in the European giants Barcelona for nearly ten years, although his appearance is gentle, but he has a killer essence and super scoring talent.He's an excellent long-range shooter who can hit threes from anywhere in any situation.His speed is fast, not only has excellent ball-handling skills to break through and score by himself, but also his proficiency in small throws has earned him the reputation of "bomb".In addition, he is the leader and scoring center of gravity of the Spanish team and Barcelona team at critical moments.

But it is a pity that the top defender in Europe only stayed in the Memphis Grizzlies for only one year, and then returned to the European continent he is familiar with. Not everyone can succeed in the United States, even if you once dominated Europe. .The obvious difference between the handling of American defenders and traditional European defenders has caused many long-established European defenders to fall into the sand, including big names like Navarro and Spanoulis.

As night fell and the lights came on, crowds began to flow in front of the Paulo Sant Jordi Stadium, home of the Barcelona team, and the lights on the parking lot shone like daytime.

All because of the arrival of the Miami Heat, "The Flash" Wade's popularity here is no less than that of the local king Juan Navarro. When he came outside the arena, there were many people around the team bus Some of the fans held Wade's posters and shouted frantically.

After coming to the arena to warm up, the entire Heat stayed quietly in the locker room waiting for Eric Spoelstra to name the starting five.

Eric Spoelstra knew that this was just a meaningless business game, so he wanted to test the strength of the substitutes in his team more.But always give Barcelona a face, and their starting five tigers still have to look good, even in commercial competitions, no one wants to be a loser.

Blount, Marion, Wade, Banks, and Haslem still continued his starting lineup from last season. After Eric Spoelstra counted the names of the five players, he began to arrange own tactics.

Lin Yi himself knew clearly that as a rookie, he still needed to wait for his own opportunity, so he listened carefully to the head coach's tactical arrangements from the beginning to the end.

This is a completely unfamiliar arena, no one can give him any advice, and he has to explore by himself.

As everyone expected, the game kicked off directly with the confrontation between Wade and Navarro. The two breakthrough masters, who are both good at speed, entered the state of needlepoint from the first minute they stepped on the field. .

After an extremely depressing and decadent season, Wade has already been suppressed like a beast in a cage for a long time. Since the game started, he has entered a bloodthirsty and frightening game state.

Barcelona's defense can't withstand this level of impact at all. The black lightning pierces through the heart and tears the opponent's defense. The strong body and accurate shooting are fatal blows. Wade wants to Tell everyone that he hasn't fallen because of injuries, and this season he's going to get back everything he lost.

Navarro did not choose to face Wade's crazy offense, but used his stable three-pointers and bug-like small throws to keep clinging to the score.In the interior competition, Barcelona's two traditional European big men have been floating near the three-point line waiting for a chance to shoot, which makes the Heat's Blount and Haslem almost helpless.

The difference in footsteps made the Heat's two inside big men awkwardly hover in the middle between the three-second zone and the three-point line, unable to advance or retreat, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent shot three-pointers wantonly.

The game fell into a stalemate due to the imbalance in the interior. The Heat players who had not fully recovered from the holiday state could only rely on Wade to charge alone and Marion's weird shooting to maintain a weak lead.

Eric Spoelstra didn't want to be so passive in the first game of the preseason, and the subsequent deployment of troops still failed to solve the problem of the opponent's two tall pitchers. What is lacking is the ability to protect the inside line, otherwise the media would not have exploded the rumors that the Raptors' O'Neal was going to be traded.

The weak inside ability has become the biggest helplessness in Wade's heart. After all, without the support of a strong inside, even if Wade averages 30+ points per game, it will not help.

Eric Spoelstra looked at the situation on the field and fell into a strange situation without insiders like last season. He frowned and watched the players on his bench thinking about countermeasures.When his eyes swept back and forth, his attention was attracted by the oriental boy at the end of the bench.

Lin Yi didn't simply sit on the bench to watch the game, he was holding something like a tactical board and drawing something back and forth. After Spoelstra approached, he realized that the painting on it was the field. The position map of the players, the horizontal lines on the tactical board seem to be the opponent's running route.

"What are you drawing?" Spoelstra's question directly awakened Lin Yi's nerves from being immersed in the game.

"Uh, the crossing route of the two opposing center forwards." Lin Yiyi was still a little embarrassed by this slightly unfamiliar head coach.

"Who taught you this way to analyze the game." Spoelstra wondered who would teach a player the way coaches often do.

"My teacher, Chuck Daly." Lin Yi learned this method from the old Chuck not long ago. The old Chuck very much hoped that Lin Yi would become a player who knows how to analyze the game, instead of passively accepting rigid tactical arrangements.

Learning to read and analyze opponents are the qualities that a good player should have. This method of observing the opponent's route will greatly improve Lin Yiyi's ability to predict the card position in advance.If the inside players can predict in advance, it will reduce a lot of unnecessary fouls, and being able to stay on the court for one more second is a pressure on the opponent.

"It's a very smart way." Spoelstra never saw Lin Yi again after that in-team test. After a long vacation, he wondered to what extent this boy had grown. There is no bottom, so he has not arranged for Lin Yi to appear in this game.

He is not used to using an unfamiliar player. This is a common problem of many coaches. No one likes to use an unfamiliar face.But the current situation on the court has changed his heart, why not let this second pick prove his strength?Maybe his nimble feet can restrain the opponent's big man who can be both inside and outside.

"Lin Yi, you are ready to play." Spoelstra's abrupt and unprepared words made Lin Yi stunned.

ah?play?

play!Lin Yi didn't expect his first match to come so suddenly, so he didn't react for a while.

"Yes." Taking off his sportswear, Lin Yi stood in front of Spoelstra in a crimson Heat jersey and listened to the coach's arrangement.

"Replace Blount and limit the opponent's big shooters." Spoelstra's explanation is very simple. Now he only wants to rely on Lin Yi's flexible footwork to defend the opponent's unscrupulous three-pointers from the outside.

"Understood." When Lin Yi replied, his voice was a little aphonic due to a little nervousness. After all, this was his first NBA game. Although it was only a commercial game, it was also his first appearance after joining the Heat. Feeling a little nervous.

"Take it easy, young man, let's play." Spoelstra signaled to the referee stand for substitutions, and patted Lin Yi on the back. Any rookie would feel a little nervous about his debut, Spoelstra Terra tried his best to keep Lin Yi in a relaxed state of mind, and he didn't want a No. [-] pick to be out of order because of nervousness. He also wanted to win the game, and he also wanted to examine the boy's strength.

He clapped hands with Blount as a signal, and the moment he stepped on the floor, Lin Yi took a deep breath and read silently in his heart.

"NBA, here I come, Mom and Dad are watching me perform."
