NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble
Chapter 101 [101] Celestial Derby, Yao Mai VS Heat 3 giants, 1 stage fadeaway jumper?
Chapter 101 [101] Celestial Derby, Yao Mai VS Heat Big Three, one-stage fadeaway jumper?
Fans of the home magic team at the Amway Arena also frowned at this time, obviously feeling that something was wrong.
Tonight, the Heat obviously played O'Neal in the penalty area. The Sharks not only mercilessly hooked and dunked on the offensive end, but also sent a flying cap to Howard on the defensive end.
Wade also completed a shocking dunk in a breakthrough. The 1.93-meter-tall guard dunked the 2.08-meter big center. He definitely booked the top ten goals in advance.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei scored 3+1 with a misplaced bukkake shot at Howard. It felt like the main players of the Heat team were obviously teaming up to bully their new No. [-] pick.
"Why did they team up to bully Dwight? He's just a rookie, and this is his second game of his rookie season!"
"He was bullied just because he was a rookie. This is a dilemma that most rookies have to face!"
"Dwight is still too flamboyant in front of the media. He doesn't know to respect Shaquille at all. He deserves to be abused now!"
"I was still laughing and joking at the beginning, but now I can't laugh anymore?"
第一节打了7分钟左右,霍华德依然是0分0篮板,外加1次失误和1个犯规。
And O'Neal, who beat Howard on both offense and defense, has quickly scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block
"Shh!"
Lin Feiyun walked to the free throw line calmly and made an extra penalty.
Heat (19): (11) Magic.
Quickly lead to 8 points.
The Magic team attacked, and after Lin Fei came on the field, Wade changed his defense to Francis, which made Francis instantly feel more defensive pressure.
Instead of choosing to be reckless, Francis summoned Turkoglu's pick-and-roll cover from the high post.
"Bang!"
The ball was a bit off the mark, and O'Neal relied on his richer rebounding experience to stand up against Howard in advance, and he had to grab the defensive rebound when he took off.
Howard was targeted consecutively at the beginning, coupled with his youthful impatience, he couldn't help but push O'Neal in front of him.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Howard was fouled for rebounding. This was the second foul of Warcraft tonight.
O'Neal was pushed and staggered and almost fell, but the huge tonnage still took advantage.
After landing, he turned over and stared at Howard with rounded eyes, which made the guilty Howard lower his head, not daring to look directly at the sharp gaze of the big shark.
"Young Scholar, next time you push someone, remember to use more strength. Have you f---ing not eaten? Do you want me to give you another hot pot set meal!"
The head coach of the Magic team on the sidelines saw that Howard had committed two fouls and was a little impatient, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately replaced "Warcraft" to calm down and replaced the backup center Tony Batty.
Sitting back on the bench, "Warcraft" was in a bad mood, pounding his fists on the seat, and had nowhere to vent his emotions.
Stan Van Gundy also made personnel adjustments, roughly replacing Haslem, and helping O'Neal open up more space on the offensive end.
O'Neal was completely up tonight. Facing Tony Batty, who moved slowly and lacked physical strength, he became unstoppable in the low post of the penalty area. Take foul tactics.
In the second half of the first quarter, O'Neal made 3 of 2 shots and 5 of 3 free throws at the free throw line. At the same time, he was still sending out passes after being double-teamed, and he also assisted in roughly high-post shots.
After the first quarter, O'Neal played 12 minutes and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks efficiently, completely breaking the Magic's penalty area.
Wade and Lin Fei mainly supported Ao Pang tonight, but they also teamed up to score 10 points in the first quarter.
Heat (30): (21) Magic.
The Magic's scoring in the first quarter was mainly concentrated in the hands of Francis, Grant Hill and Mobley, and the inside line was wiped out.
Francis and Mobley's perimeter defense is better than the Pacers in terms of talent, not to mention Wade's 31 points in the first game also attracted the attention of the league. The Magic's defense against Wade tonight is also more targeted.
After the start of the second quarter, Howard came on the court, and while O'Neal was away, he quickly showed his power in the penalty area on both ends of the offense and defense. On the defense, he scored a burst block and scored 4 points on the offensive end.
However, in his rookie season, "Warcraft"'s personal skills at the basket were relatively poor. The main scoring methods were fast-break lobs and low-post piercing, and his hit rate for turning over hooks was not high.
Seeing Howard quickly scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, with a bright smile on his face again, O'Neal couldn't sit still, and got up and asked Stan Van Gundy to play.
As soon as O'Neill came up, Howard couldn't laugh again immediately.
After the first half, O'Neal scored a double-double of 70 points, 24 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks on Howard with a terrifying shooting percentage of over 2%.
而新科状元这边却是8投2中4分2篮板,外加2个失误3个犯规。
Wade's breakthrough was well restricted by the Magic, so he put more energy on assisting his teammates, linking O'Neal and Lin Fei's combination of one inside and one outside.
Heat (53): (42) Magic.
At halftime, they still held a double-digit advantage.
After the start of the third quarter, the Magic continued to double-team and interfere with O'Neal in the penalty area.
This also allowed Lin Fei, Da Da and Eddie Jones to get more shots after pulling the outside line.
Although Jones and Rough's three-point shooting rate is not as good as Lin Fei, it has reached the league average, basically above 35%.
Wade's three-point shot is the worst among the four. With the Magic guarding the penalty area, Wade can't get in and O'Neal can't get the ball. Lin Fei and others create opportunities.
Stan Van Gundy's coping tactic was very successful, allowing Lin Fei to get 6 shots in the third quarter and hit 4 three-pointers.
After three quarters, Lin Fei made 9 of 7 three-pointers and 3 free throws, scoring 24 points.
Eddie Jones also scored 8 points in the third quarter, roughly hit a three-pointer, and scored 5 points in a single quarter.
At the same time, on the defensive end, Lin Fei also performed very well in defending Mobley, and did not hinder the team's overall defense.
Under the leadership of Francis and Grant Hill, the Magic scored 32 points in the third quarter and played a smooth wave of chasing points.
But the Heat also responded with 29 points in a single quarter, which didn't make the Magic too close to the point difference.
In the final quarter, the mentality of the Magic's players became impetuous and their defensive enthusiasm declined. O'Neal took advantage of the situation to dominate the penalty area again, and teamed up with Wade to score 3 points in 10 minutes.
Lin Fei made a steal at the defensive end at a critical moment, and hit a three-pointer from the familiar 45-degree angle on the right in the fast break.
"Shh!"
The Heat also quickly extended their lead to 15 points away.
With the irritable Howard leaving the field with 6 fouls, the Magic had no hope of chasing points and had to surrender early.
Heat (103): (92) Magic.
The score was fixed, and the Heat won the Magic in the away game without any risk, and won the first two consecutive victories of the new season.
奥尼尔全场出战39分钟,攻防两端完爆新科状元德怀特·霍华德,用32分15篮板4助攻3封盖1抢断的全面表现,
Prove that he is still the league's well-deserved No. [-] center.
On the other hand, Dwight Howard, who was facing off, left the field with six fouls early in the fourth quarter and only scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 5 turnovers in 3 minutes of playing.
林飞命中8个三分球,罚球3中3,拿到全队第二高的27分,外加2次抢断和1个篮板。
Eddie Jones 16 points, roughly 7 points and 4 rebounds.
韦德虽然只拿到了12分,但却有7篮板11助攻2抢断2封盖,算的上是一场准三双表现。
The Miami Heat's two-game winning streak at the beginning also left a very deep impression on the fans.
This team does not have the boss in the absolute sense and the absolute right to shoot. Wade scored 31 points in the opening game, and O'Neal dominated the penalty area with 32 points and 15 rebounds in the second game.
According to the opponent's lineup configuration and on-the-spot tactical choices, every main player is willing to sacrifice the ball in the game to make a wedding dress for his teammates.
Such a united Miami Heat and team ethos have already shown the temperament of winning the championship.
After winning the Magic, Lin Fei and his teammates moved to Houston, 2000 kilometers away, to play away against the Houston Rockets with Dayao and Tracy McGrady.
The Rockets have Dayao, the Heat have Lin Fei and Da Da,
This game has also been hyped by the media as a Celestial Derby. At the same time, as two very popular teams, the game will also be broadcast live on the whole meter.
The fans on China's side are naturally even more excited, looking forward to the arrival of this China Derby.
Before the game started, there were hundreds of millions of Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV. The heat of this game was no less than the semi-finals and finals of the Yadian Olympic Games in August.
"The Heat are playing against the Rockets, and it's finally time for this game. In the Tianchao Derby, Lin Fei, Dayao and Daqi have really brought glory to our Tianchao men's basketball team!"
"Since the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, our Tianchao men's basketball team has become a world-class team. In the latest world basketball rankings, it seems to have been promoted to No. 9!"
"In general, the new season has also become the main rotation of the Heat. The first two games averaged 15 minutes of playing time per game. The Tianchao men's basketball team is really getting better and better!"
"Not only Dayao, Lin Fei and Dashou have given our Tianchao men's basketball team glory in the world, but also Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Ah Lian in the new season of the CBA have also grown rapidly. The basketball team will definitely reach its peak and create greater glories!"
"The men's basketball game is so good, but the men's football team is still a piece of shit. It's really shameful that they couldn't make it to the World Cup in 06!"
"Don't compare men's football with men's basketball? They don't deserve it!"
"The Heat started the new season with a winning streak. O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei have a reasonable combination inside and outside the lineup, and Eddie Jones is also a small forward with an average of close to 20+ per game! I don't think it's a big problem to win the Rockets!"
"I still hope that Yao Mai can quickly produce a chemical reaction, and the Rockets' lineup can also make further breakthroughs!"
"I just found out that Jeff Van Gundy and Stan Van Gundy are brothers, but these two guys don't look alike!"
"After all, McGrady is the scoring leader for two consecutive seasons. I believe that as long as he finds his form, he is capable of scoring 30+ points on any night!"
"The Heat have O'Neal, Wade, and Lin Fei, and the Rockets have Dayao, McGrady, and Uncle Huo. Combined, there are likely to be six All-Stars this year!"
"Juwan Howard is no longer at his peak, and the probability of being selected as an All-Star is too low, but Yao Mai and the Big Three of the Heat basically have a high probability!"
"With hundreds of millions of our Celestial Dynasty fans here, how could Lin Fei and Dayao lose the election? At least they have to be starters, haha!"
"When will the All-Star voting start? I can't wait to vote for Lin Fei and Dayao. Yes, I have to bring the outline!"
"Don't forget last season's All-Stars. It was because of our votes that Dayao squeezed out O'Neal and directly took the position of the starting center in the Western Conference!"
"Although O'Neal was a substitute in the Western Conference last season, he won the All-Star MVP. Our Yao is still far behind!"
"Dayao's progress this season has been obvious. I believe he won't suffer too much in front of Ao Pang!"
Jinping County, Guizhou Province.
In the village committee of a certain mountain village, the only TV set in the whole village was carried to the yard. More than 100 people, old and young, gathered in front of the TV, watching TV programs.
During the offseason, Lin Fei came to the mountain village to participate in poverty alleviation and public welfare undertakings. In addition to funding the construction of the Hope Primary School, he also donated more than 100 TCL TV sets to dozens of nearby villages.
The price of each 21-inch TV is about 500 yuan.
Before that, most of the nearby mountain villages had no TVs to watch, and there were only three or two in a town.
Moreover, in Jinping County during this period, every village was not connected to electricity. Because of the tight power supply, many villages could only have electricity for a few hours a day.
Under the leadership of the village head and supporting teacher Liu Ruoyun, the children and old people in the village gathered together today to watch the NBA game between the Heat and the Rockets live on TV[-].
"Look, the man wearing the red No. 22 jersey is Lin Fei. He is our great benefactor of Jinping. Without him, you kids wouldn't be able to watch TV!"
"This tall man must be Dayao. He is really tall. He and Lin Fei are the pride of our Chinese athletes!"
"Our Chinese sports industry is getting better and better, and the lives of ordinary people will be better in the end!"
"I heard that Dayao and Lin Fei can earn 500 million a year playing basketball in the country of the United States. It's a lot of money playing basketball!"
Several elderly people in the village were communicating with each other, and the support teacher Liu Ruoyun said with a smile:
"Uncle Sun, that's 500 million US dollars. This is our Chinese currency, which is 4000 million a year!"
"Oh my god, playing basketball makes so much money? Let us children in the mountains have to be trained well since childhood. If we can go to the United States to play like Lin Fei in the future, we will really be proud of our ancestors!"
The children squatted in front of the TV, but they started to yell:
"Why hasn't this match started yet? Teacher, we want to watch the game for a while!"
"I want to see Brother Yixiu and Sheriff Black Cat!"
"Why are these people so dark? Why are there so many gaudy patterns on their arms? What is this?"
Look back to Houston.
Toyota Center.
At [-]:[-] p.m. local time, the auditoriums on all sides were already full of fans.
This all-meter live broadcast and the focus battle that hundreds of millions of fans in China are looking forward to officially started at the whistle of the referee Joey Crawford.
Rockets players at home wear white jerseys, while Heat players away from home wear red jerseys.
The starting five for the Miami Heat are:
Point Guard (PG): Damon Jones,
Shooting Guard (SG): Dwyane Wade,
Small Forward (SF): Eddie Jones,
Power Forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,
Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.
The starting five for the Houston Rockets are:
Point Guard (PG): Tyronn Lue,
Shooting Guard (SG): Jim Jackson,
Small Forward (SF): Tracy McGrady,
Power Forward (SF): Juwan Howard,
Center (C): Dayao.
Although the Rockets lost the opening game of the new season, they quickly adjusted after returning home and beat the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. McGrady also scored 29 points in this game, Yao 21 points and 11 rebounds.
The biggest problem with this Rockets right now is that they don't have a suitable point guard. Tyronn Lue's overall performance during his player period was lackluster.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Dayao and O'Neal stepped onto the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball,
Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Van Gundy, who are two brothers, also walked to the sideline technical stage at this time and shook hands with each other.
"Brother, be merciful!"
"Brother, show me some face!"
The gambling company gave a handicap of 6.5 points for the away game. Even if it is an away game, the mainstream media and experts clearly believe that the Heat have a better chance of winning.
O'Neal took the lead in flying the basketball over Yao's head, but Tyronn Lue made an accurate judgment and rushed forward to get the ball before Damon Jones, showing his golf quotient.
The Rockets opened the first attack. Tyronn Lue pushed the ball into the frontcourt and quickly gave it to McGrady who wanted the ball from beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc.
McGrady is facing Eddie Jones tonight, which is an advantage for the Rockets. Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy also told McGrady that once the position is lost, he can try some singles.
Facing Eddie Jones with his back at the top of the arc, McGrady has a certain advantage in terms of height and strength.
Although the official height is 2.03 meters, McGrady's actual height has reached 2.06 meters. Coupled with a wingspan of 2.18 meters, this static talent is already quite invincible.
Without summoning Dayao's upward pick-and-roll, McGrady first bumped Eddie Jones twice from the side, and then quickly accelerated and broke through in the opposite direction after a quick fake move.
"Whoosh!"
Although he has reached the height of a power forward, McGrady's flexibility has not been affected. His first step is quite fast, and he is definitely ranked in the top three levels among guards in the league.
Even though Eddie Jones has always been very good defensively, he is 33 years old after all, and he has long lost the defensive ability of his peak period.
What's more, McGrady's defense against the current peak Kobe is still explosive, so how can he be afraid of an Eddie Jones.
McGrady's breakthrough was very sharp, and he threw off Eddie Jones directly, striding straight to kill the penalty area.
Finding a space in the middle distance on the strong side, McGrady suddenly braked and stopped, and he threw away Eddie Jones by more than one meter.
"Shh!"
McGrady's ball collection point is very low, probably in the middle of the thigh, close to the knee, which makes his ball lifting smoother, coupled with the highly coherent force of the calf and waist,
The take-off height is high, the release point is high, the time in the air is long, and the shot is shot from the highest point of the take-off. The standard two-stage pull-up jumper even has a slight fallback.
All of these reasons have created the infinite beauty of McGrady's jump shot. From the perspective of shooting beauty alone, even Kobe and Jordan have to bow down.
At the beginning of the game, Tracy McGrady sent an iconic pull-up jumper, and the Rockets fans at the scene cheered and screamed.
Not to mention that McGrady had completely swayed away from Eddie Jones when the ball was shot. Even if he jumped directly at the opponent and shot, Eddie Jones couldn't interfere.
The 25-year-old McGrady has reached the pinnacle of his career. Although he entered the league five seasons earlier than Yao, he is only one year older than Yao.
If it weren't for congenital scoliosis and numerous injuries, McGrady's career could have reached its peak in the Rockets.
Lin Fei, who was sitting on the Heat's courtside bench, observed McGrady's jump shot from the closest distance, and he was also full of admiration in his heart.
McGrady's dry shot relies too much on physical talent. This two-stage jump shot is very different from Lin Fei's one-stage shot.
Lin Fei's one-step shooting allows him to have a faster shot speed and a more balanced shooting force, but it is far inferior to McGrady's dry pull in terms of the height and difficulty of the shot.
99% of Lin Fei's shots in the game and training are between one-stage and 1.5-stage, which almost perfectly fits the shots of the Splash Brothers, mainly because of the shooting speed.
Moreover, Lin Fei's physical fitness is also at an average level, which is not enough for him to complete difficult two-stage shots, especially Kobe's fadeaway and McGrady's pull-up.
Before the rise of the Splash Brothers in the NBA, the mainstream guards' shooting movements were all two-stage. Jordan, Kobe, McGrady, and Ray Allen were all like this.
With the birth of Lin Fei in this parallel world, various basketball experts and fans who love to play have also begun to pay attention to and study one-step shooting.
In particular, Lin Fei's terrifying three-point shooting rate made the fans start to think, is the one-stage shooting really worth practicing than the two-stage shooting?
Tony Allen, who was sitting beside Lin Fei, humbly asked Lin Fei for advice like a little fanboy:
"Lin, I feel that there is a big gap between Tracy's and Ni's shooting movements. His shooting is too difficult, and his shooting percentage is far lower than yours. Isn't this a bit thankless?"
Although Tony Allen has been obsessed with defense since he was in college, offense is also an indispensable ability for every player, so Tony Allen will always ask Lin Fei about shooting skills.
"Tony, the reason why Tracy develops such a difficult pull-up is because he is always the team's first choice on the offensive end, and what he faces is a tight defense!"
"This requires the development of a shooting action that can be successfully shot under strict defense. This is very necessary in the offensive and critical moments!"
"As for me, because my role is to be the team's No. [-] person, most of my shots are misplaced to seize opportunities after covering pick-and-rolls or directly open shots. The speed of the shot is the most important!"
After hearing Lin Fei's analysis, Tony Allen understood instantly, nodded and said, "Lin, what you said is too reasonable, so it's best for me to practice one-piece shooting with you!"
Lin Fei said with a smile: "One-stage and two-stage shots are not inherently good or bad. They are completely different from person to person. You need to see which shooting method is more suitable for your physical fitness!"
"I can only shoot well for one stage now. If I have enough physical fitness, I naturally hope that I can also develop a pull-up shot like McGrady, or a fade-away shot like Kobe!"
Tony Allen stared at Lin Fei with the eyes of a monster, and praised repeatedly:
"Lin, your catch-and-shoot three-pointers are scary enough, and all of them are so accurate."
"If you develop Tracy McGrady's dry pull and Kobe's back, wouldn't you be directly invincible? How can you not be able to defend against shots?"
Seeing Tony Allen's exaggerated expression, Lin Fei smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it. How could it be so easy to practice Kobe's back and McGrady's pull?"
"If there is such a day, then I should be able to become the boss of a team, right? Haha, the boss who can't dribble!"
Tony Allen quickly echoed:
"That's for sure, hit at least 10 three-pointers every game, so what if you can't dribble? The management and coaching staff will definitely find you the best point guard partner, and the team will completely arrange tactics around you !"
Lin Fei suddenly thought that his three-point attribute had always been 99 points, and he hadn't had time to raise it to the full value of 100 points.
According to the system's explanation, the basketball attribute that has reached 99 points can be raised to the full value of 100 points through free attributes at any time, but it requires a lot of free attribute points.
Lin Fei has always been very satisfied with his current three-point ability.
If you really want to increase from 99 to 100 points, I wonder if there will be new surprises, or unlock new three-point skills?
On the court, the game continued.
The Heat attacked, Wade received a pass from Damon Jones in the frontcourt, and faced Jim Jackson's defense.
Jim Jackson and O'Neal were also rookies in 1992, and he was also the No. 4 pick in the first round. At the age of 34, he is already an out-and-out veteran of the league.
At his peak, Jim Jackson averaged 18.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He also reached the quasi-All-Star level, with rich offensive methods and a range covering the entire three-point area.
But Jim Jackson is always easy to get along with his teammates because of his personal personality problems, which also makes him the number one homeless man in the league. The Rockets are currently his 10th team in the league.
Last season, Jim Jackson had a good relationship with Francis and Yao in the Rockets, but with the arrival of McGrady, there was also a conflict between the two because of the possession of the ball.
This is also one of the main contradictions at the beginning of the Rockets' new season. The management is already trying to trade away Jim Jackson.
Facing Jim Jackson's unstoppable shots, Wade didn't choose to be reckless, but called O'Neal's up screen, misplaced and faced Yao, relying on his speed to overwhelm the opponent.
"Whoosh!"
Dayao's switch defense was also very smart, and he retreated directly to the center of the penalty area without choosing to raise his defense.
O'Neal's move down attracted Dayao's defensive attention, and Wade went right to accelerate into the penalty area, vacated to attract Dayao's supplementary defense, and gave the ball from the armpit to O'Neal on the left.
"Boom!"
O'Neal caught the ball and jumped up, and it was a shark dunk.
Dayao alone is hard to beat with four hands, and Jim Jackson is obviously not active enough in the process of defending the pick-and-roll this time, and Juwan Howard should have defended it.
Jeff Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly became angry and yelled at the Rockets players on the court.
Heat (2): (2) Rockets.
Ball transfer.
This time, McGrady and Dayao also played a pick-and-roll at a high position. After the misalignment, McGrady accelerated the breakthrough with the ball, and also passed the slow-footed Shark with a stride.
Haslem made up the defense in time, but McGrady saw the timing right. After a lateral jump, he put the basket sideways. The basketball flew over Haslem's head and hit the net.
"Shh!"
McGrady started the game tonight in a pretty good state, scoring 4 points in a row on two shots.
Back on the defensive end, Wade made a mistake in a breakthrough pass, which was successfully predicted by McGrady. He attacked with a long arm and directly completed a flying steal.
"Snapped!"
The Rockets countered the fast break, McGrady took the ball to kill the frontcourt, and faced Wade's quick return to defend the corner and overtake,
McGrady made an emergency stop directly outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, his calves and waist and abdomen exerted strength instantly, and he chased and made a decisive three-pointer.
"Shh!"
and also.
Heat (2): (7) Rockets.
McGrady scored 2 points in the opening 7 minutes, completely igniting the enthusiasm of the home fans at Toyota Arena.
This chasing three-pointer was really picturesque, and Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, seemed to recall the magical scene of McGrady in the original world at 35 seconds and 13 minutes.
After thinking about it, the 35 seconds and 13 minutes in McGrady's original world seemed to be in December 2004.
If there is still 35 seconds and 13 minutes to happen in this parallel world, it should be next month.
Can McGrady's battle of the Conferred Gods be continued in this parallel world?
McGrady, with sleepy eyes, tilted his head with a smile on his back defense, and pointed to Lin Fei who was sitting on the Heat's bench.
"Lin, I already have a three-pointer!"
Lin Fei also smiled. McGrady, who is not injured, really plays very handsomely.
The white horse and spear are heroic.
The Heat's special plane arrived in Houston yesterday afternoon. After staying at the hotel, Lin Fei went to Dayao's home for another two hours of training.
Unlike Lin Fei who lives in a big villa, Dayao is said to be the No. 50 pick in the NBA, but he only bought a small villa in Houston for $[-].
In the previous two seasons, Dayao even lived in a rented house.
Although he came from the No. 400 pick, the average annual salary of Dayao's four-year rookie contract with the Rockets is just over $[-] million.
And after all kinds of taxes and brokerage commissions were taken away, the Shark Club and the Basketball Association of Tianchao Magic City would have to share a large part of it, and what was left for Dayao was even less than $80.
Lin Fei has never played in the CBA, so his salary does not need to go to the Basketball Association, and his annual salary for the new season has already surpassed Dayao.
It's more or less different, after all, they are supported by rich wives, and Dayao and Ye Li are still in love.
It just so happened that Maddie was there last night, so the four of them had dinner together and chatted very well with each other.
Although the relationship between McGrady and Dayao may not be good in the later stages of their careers, it is now the honeymoon period of their cooperation, and they still take good care of each other.
As for Wade and O'Neal, they naturally went to a nightclub in Houston with a few other Heat teammates to have fun.
On the open-air basketball court of Dayao Villa that night, Lin Fei and McGrady even tried some fixed-point three-pointers.
As a result, McGrady lost badly.
"Lin, although I lost now, in tomorrow's game, I will definitely hit more three-pointers than you, and then lead the team to victory!"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Tracy, in tomorrow's game, although I'm not sure I can hit more three-pointers than you, I will definitely hit a higher percentage than you!"
Maddie: "..."
These words are absolutely murderous!
Perhaps it was Lin Fei's words last night that completely aroused McGrady's determination to win the game tonight.
The 3 points and 7 steal in all 1 shots in the opening game fully demonstrated the demeanor of the two-time scoring champion.
Heat attack,
This time, O'Neal got a favorable position at the basket, received a pass from Wade, pushed Yao to a small hook, and the basketball went into the net steadily.
"Shh!"
"Yao, is your defense still that bad? I'm afraid you won't be able to defend me until I'm 40!"
Facing O'Neal's taunt, Dayao didn't speak, but quickly responded after coming to the offensive end, and also hit a mid-range back kick.
"Shh!"
"Shaquille, your current defense is not much better. I doubt you can continue to play in the NBA until you are 40 years old!"
Dayao's response was also very humorous. After a round of playoff contests last season, coupled with the cooperation in the All-Stars, the relationship between O'Neal and Dayao is still very good.
The Heat attack.
Wade continued to pass the ball to O'Neal in the low post. This time, Yao defended well. After all, he had an absolute advantage in height.
After Wade's breakthrough, he made an emergency stop and made a half-stop shot, and the basketball missed.
"Bang!"
Dayao protected the defensive rebound and gave the ball to Tyronn Lue on the point guard.
After McGrady came to the frontcourt, he caught the ball and faced Eddie Jones. After three threats at the top of the arc, he pulled up and shot again, facing the opponent with another three-pointer.
But this time McGrady shot too confidently, the basketball was a little too strong, and hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.
"Bang!"
The offensive rebound was just picked up by Jim Jackson. The latter borrowed Dayao as a screen and slipped to the baseline to pick the basket.
"Shh!"
Heat (4): (9) Rockets.
In the opening 3 minutes, the Heat did not play smoothly on the offensive end. Stan Van Gundy also called a long timeout, preparing to replace Lin Fei in advance.
In the Heat's current team lineup, Damon Jones is actually just a false starter. Most of the time, he takes the ball through the frontcourt and hands it to Wade, and then squats in the corner to open up space.
Lin Fei is the Heat's main backcourt partner with Wade.
Seeing that Lin Fei got up and was going to play, the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center also erupted in cheers and chattered among themselves.
Speaking of Lin Fei's current fame, he is not only a household name in China, but also has a high reputation among the star-studded NBA and American fans.
After all, Lin Fei not only dedicated a 1.3-second lore in the finals of last season, but also beat the American Dream Six with a three-point buzzer in the Olympic Games in August.
Although it was Ginobili's Agendeng who finally won the Olympic championship, Lin Fei's reputation in the Olympics is no less than that of Ginobili.
In the original world, Ginobili eliminated the United States in the semi-finals of the Yadian Olympics, and then defeated Italy in the final to win the championship. The Olympic Organizing Committee also awarded Ginobili an MVP trophy.
This is also the only MVP trophy in the history of the entire Olympic men's basketball team.
But in today's parallel world, the American Dream Six was eliminated by the Tianchao men's basketball team in the semi-finals. Although A Genting also won the championship in the end, his influence and topicality were much smaller.
Therefore, because of Lin Fei's butterfly effect, Ginobili did not win the men's basketball MVP trophy on this year's Olympic men's basketball podium.
On the contrary, it was Lin Fei who beat the US team with three points at the buzzer. Among the fans of the US and China, Ginobili had a higher degree of topicality and influence than Ginobili.
The historical status of a basketball player does require the accumulation of honor and achievements.
But his huge influence in the fan base is often more related to the characteristics of his playing style and exciting classic moments.
Just like McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points, the influence in the hearts of the group is enough to surpass the efforts of most NBA players throughout their careers.
Moment is eternity!
Lin Fei's current status in the NBA and in the world basketball world is still very low, but his classic lore in the NBA Finals and the Olympics,
But it has penetrated into the hearts of countless fans and is regarded as a classic of the sport of basketball.
Perhaps considering the special significance of tonight's Celestial Derby, Stan Van Gundy also went along with the flow,
While replacing Lin Fei, he also roughly replaced Haslem, so that the players from the three major dynasties gathered on the court in advance.
After only playing for 3 minutes, he was roughly replaced, which somewhat made Haslem feel a little unhappy, and he was even more worried that his starting power forward position would not be kept.
After all, this season has indeed made a lot of progress. As an old teammate, Haslem sees it in his eyes, and his ability to open up space on the offensive end is incomparable to Haslem.
In the five live broadcast rooms of Tianchao.
Seeing that Lin Fei and Lin Fei came on the bench roughly at the same time after the timeout, Director Zhang's commentary voice became more excited and high-pitched:
"Lin Feihe has roughly entered the court ahead of time. Three Chinese NBA players are competing on the same stage. This moment is destined to become a classic. Our Chinese men's basketball team has really risen!"
On the court, the Heat organized the offense.
Wade held the ball and first made a pick-and-roll with O'Neal in the high post, making a breakthrough to attract the Rockets' defensive attention.
At the same time, Lin Feihe also quickly made an off-ball screen near the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei used the cover to throw off Jim Jackson who was chasing him, and quickly rushed to the right at a 0-degree angle.
As for Juwan Howard, who was roughly positioned, the switch was obviously a step late. Wade, who was breaking through, had already seen the opportunity, and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei with a flick of his wrist.
Lin Fei was at a 0-degree angle on the right, the sweet spot where he had never missed a shot. He caught the ball and took off, facing Uncle Huo who was unable to defend in time, he just shot without saying a word.
"Shh!"
As soon as Lin Fei came on the court, the Heat's outside firepower quickly became fierce, making the Rockets' defense lose sight of one another.
In the next offensive round, Lin Fei chose to screen with O'Neal at the top of the arc, and he was misplaced to meet Dayao who switched defenses.
As a teammate of the national team, Lin Fei is very familiar with Dayao's defensive characteristics.
Even though Dayao switched defenses in time this time, the disadvantage of his footsteps still exists after all.
Lin Fei first made an emergency stop and took a quick step back. He instantly retreated two meters away from Dayao, received the pass from Wade, and then Lightning made another shot.
Although Dayao's footsteps were slow, but after all, his height was too dominant, and his long arms rushed forward quickly, covering Lin Fei's shot space.
When Lin Fei retreated to catch the ball and took off to shoot, his brain quickly made a judgment, and he directly made a huge backward lean, and quickly threw the ball with a super difficult posture.
"Shh!"
The moment the basketball hit the net, Lin Fei also fell on his back on the court floor.
Dayao stared at Lin Fei who was lying on the ground with rounded eyes, completely stupefied.
It's okay for him to meow?
After all, Dayao had spent two months with Lin Fei day and night in the national team, and he had a very clear understanding of his three-point shooting in games and training.
Even though Lin Fei's shooting percentage is high, his shot speed is fast, and there are many unimaginable ultra-long three-pointers,
But this is the first time Dayao has seen such a situation where he directly leans back and shoots after receiving the ball.
Originally, he was confident that he could block Lin Fei's shot this time, but he didn't expect that he would be the clown in the end.
Could it be that this guy has unlocked new skills again?
The Toyota Arena also erupted instantly at this moment, and the fans in the auditorium on all sides were discussing one after another.
"OMG, this throwback shot is too scary, right?"
"What the hell did I see? A super-long fadeaway shot that was nearly 9 meters away from the basket. How did this guy do it?"
"How can Lin, who catches the ball, have such a fast shot? It's unscientific!"
In front of the commentary stand on the sidelines, ESPN's live commentator Mike Breen patted the table and exclaimed. He swore he had never seen such a strange three-pointer.
"Lin's three-pointer after catching the ball is completely different from Kobe Jordan's backward jumper. He is still a complete one-piece shot!"
"One-step fadeaway jumper, oh my god, how the hell does this guy balance his power?"
Wade was the first to rush up to pull Lin Fei up, puffed his cheeks and said with a smile:
"Lin, I got 30+ in the opening game, and Shaquille got 30+ in the last game. It's your turn to have unlimited firepower tonight!"
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows naturally, looking at the basket with his gaze like a sword, his invisible pretense is the most deadly:
"Give me unlimited fire rights? I'm afraid it's not just 30+!"
(End of this chapter)
Fans of the home magic team at the Amway Arena also frowned at this time, obviously feeling that something was wrong.
Tonight, the Heat obviously played O'Neal in the penalty area. The Sharks not only mercilessly hooked and dunked on the offensive end, but also sent a flying cap to Howard on the defensive end.
Wade also completed a shocking dunk in a breakthrough. The 1.93-meter-tall guard dunked the 2.08-meter big center. He definitely booked the top ten goals in advance.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei scored 3+1 with a misplaced bukkake shot at Howard. It felt like the main players of the Heat team were obviously teaming up to bully their new No. [-] pick.
"Why did they team up to bully Dwight? He's just a rookie, and this is his second game of his rookie season!"
"He was bullied just because he was a rookie. This is a dilemma that most rookies have to face!"
"Dwight is still too flamboyant in front of the media. He doesn't know to respect Shaquille at all. He deserves to be abused now!"
"I was still laughing and joking at the beginning, but now I can't laugh anymore?"
第一节打了7分钟左右,霍华德依然是0分0篮板,外加1次失误和1个犯规。
And O'Neal, who beat Howard on both offense and defense, has quickly scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block
"Shh!"
Lin Feiyun walked to the free throw line calmly and made an extra penalty.
Heat (19): (11) Magic.
Quickly lead to 8 points.
The Magic team attacked, and after Lin Fei came on the field, Wade changed his defense to Francis, which made Francis instantly feel more defensive pressure.
Instead of choosing to be reckless, Francis summoned Turkoglu's pick-and-roll cover from the high post.
"Bang!"
The ball was a bit off the mark, and O'Neal relied on his richer rebounding experience to stand up against Howard in advance, and he had to grab the defensive rebound when he took off.
Howard was targeted consecutively at the beginning, coupled with his youthful impatience, he couldn't help but push O'Neal in front of him.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Howard was fouled for rebounding. This was the second foul of Warcraft tonight.
O'Neal was pushed and staggered and almost fell, but the huge tonnage still took advantage.
After landing, he turned over and stared at Howard with rounded eyes, which made the guilty Howard lower his head, not daring to look directly at the sharp gaze of the big shark.
"Young Scholar, next time you push someone, remember to use more strength. Have you f---ing not eaten? Do you want me to give you another hot pot set meal!"
The head coach of the Magic team on the sidelines saw that Howard had committed two fouls and was a little impatient, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately replaced "Warcraft" to calm down and replaced the backup center Tony Batty.
Sitting back on the bench, "Warcraft" was in a bad mood, pounding his fists on the seat, and had nowhere to vent his emotions.
Stan Van Gundy also made personnel adjustments, roughly replacing Haslem, and helping O'Neal open up more space on the offensive end.
O'Neal was completely up tonight. Facing Tony Batty, who moved slowly and lacked physical strength, he became unstoppable in the low post of the penalty area. Take foul tactics.
In the second half of the first quarter, O'Neal made 3 of 2 shots and 5 of 3 free throws at the free throw line. At the same time, he was still sending out passes after being double-teamed, and he also assisted in roughly high-post shots.
After the first quarter, O'Neal played 12 minutes and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks efficiently, completely breaking the Magic's penalty area.
Wade and Lin Fei mainly supported Ao Pang tonight, but they also teamed up to score 10 points in the first quarter.
Heat (30): (21) Magic.
The Magic's scoring in the first quarter was mainly concentrated in the hands of Francis, Grant Hill and Mobley, and the inside line was wiped out.
Francis and Mobley's perimeter defense is better than the Pacers in terms of talent, not to mention Wade's 31 points in the first game also attracted the attention of the league. The Magic's defense against Wade tonight is also more targeted.
After the start of the second quarter, Howard came on the court, and while O'Neal was away, he quickly showed his power in the penalty area on both ends of the offense and defense. On the defense, he scored a burst block and scored 4 points on the offensive end.
However, in his rookie season, "Warcraft"'s personal skills at the basket were relatively poor. The main scoring methods were fast-break lobs and low-post piercing, and his hit rate for turning over hooks was not high.
Seeing Howard quickly scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, with a bright smile on his face again, O'Neal couldn't sit still, and got up and asked Stan Van Gundy to play.
As soon as O'Neill came up, Howard couldn't laugh again immediately.
After the first half, O'Neal scored a double-double of 70 points, 24 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks on Howard with a terrifying shooting percentage of over 2%.
而新科状元这边却是8投2中4分2篮板,外加2个失误3个犯规。
Wade's breakthrough was well restricted by the Magic, so he put more energy on assisting his teammates, linking O'Neal and Lin Fei's combination of one inside and one outside.
Heat (53): (42) Magic.
At halftime, they still held a double-digit advantage.
After the start of the third quarter, the Magic continued to double-team and interfere with O'Neal in the penalty area.
This also allowed Lin Fei, Da Da and Eddie Jones to get more shots after pulling the outside line.
Although Jones and Rough's three-point shooting rate is not as good as Lin Fei, it has reached the league average, basically above 35%.
Wade's three-point shot is the worst among the four. With the Magic guarding the penalty area, Wade can't get in and O'Neal can't get the ball. Lin Fei and others create opportunities.
Stan Van Gundy's coping tactic was very successful, allowing Lin Fei to get 6 shots in the third quarter and hit 4 three-pointers.
After three quarters, Lin Fei made 9 of 7 three-pointers and 3 free throws, scoring 24 points.
Eddie Jones also scored 8 points in the third quarter, roughly hit a three-pointer, and scored 5 points in a single quarter.
At the same time, on the defensive end, Lin Fei also performed very well in defending Mobley, and did not hinder the team's overall defense.
Under the leadership of Francis and Grant Hill, the Magic scored 32 points in the third quarter and played a smooth wave of chasing points.
But the Heat also responded with 29 points in a single quarter, which didn't make the Magic too close to the point difference.
In the final quarter, the mentality of the Magic's players became impetuous and their defensive enthusiasm declined. O'Neal took advantage of the situation to dominate the penalty area again, and teamed up with Wade to score 3 points in 10 minutes.
Lin Fei made a steal at the defensive end at a critical moment, and hit a three-pointer from the familiar 45-degree angle on the right in the fast break.
"Shh!"
The Heat also quickly extended their lead to 15 points away.
With the irritable Howard leaving the field with 6 fouls, the Magic had no hope of chasing points and had to surrender early.
Heat (103): (92) Magic.
The score was fixed, and the Heat won the Magic in the away game without any risk, and won the first two consecutive victories of the new season.
奥尼尔全场出战39分钟,攻防两端完爆新科状元德怀特·霍华德,用32分15篮板4助攻3封盖1抢断的全面表现,
Prove that he is still the league's well-deserved No. [-] center.
On the other hand, Dwight Howard, who was facing off, left the field with six fouls early in the fourth quarter and only scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 5 turnovers in 3 minutes of playing.
林飞命中8个三分球,罚球3中3,拿到全队第二高的27分,外加2次抢断和1个篮板。
Eddie Jones 16 points, roughly 7 points and 4 rebounds.
韦德虽然只拿到了12分,但却有7篮板11助攻2抢断2封盖,算的上是一场准三双表现。
The Miami Heat's two-game winning streak at the beginning also left a very deep impression on the fans.
This team does not have the boss in the absolute sense and the absolute right to shoot. Wade scored 31 points in the opening game, and O'Neal dominated the penalty area with 32 points and 15 rebounds in the second game.
According to the opponent's lineup configuration and on-the-spot tactical choices, every main player is willing to sacrifice the ball in the game to make a wedding dress for his teammates.
Such a united Miami Heat and team ethos have already shown the temperament of winning the championship.
After winning the Magic, Lin Fei and his teammates moved to Houston, 2000 kilometers away, to play away against the Houston Rockets with Dayao and Tracy McGrady.
The Rockets have Dayao, the Heat have Lin Fei and Da Da,
This game has also been hyped by the media as a Celestial Derby. At the same time, as two very popular teams, the game will also be broadcast live on the whole meter.
The fans on China's side are naturally even more excited, looking forward to the arrival of this China Derby.
Before the game started, there were hundreds of millions of Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV. The heat of this game was no less than the semi-finals and finals of the Yadian Olympic Games in August.
"The Heat are playing against the Rockets, and it's finally time for this game. In the Tianchao Derby, Lin Fei, Dayao and Daqi have really brought glory to our Tianchao men's basketball team!"
"Since the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, our Tianchao men's basketball team has become a world-class team. In the latest world basketball rankings, it seems to have been promoted to No. 9!"
"In general, the new season has also become the main rotation of the Heat. The first two games averaged 15 minutes of playing time per game. The Tianchao men's basketball team is really getting better and better!"
"Not only Dayao, Lin Fei and Dashou have given our Tianchao men's basketball team glory in the world, but also Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Ah Lian in the new season of the CBA have also grown rapidly. The basketball team will definitely reach its peak and create greater glories!"
"The men's basketball game is so good, but the men's football team is still a piece of shit. It's really shameful that they couldn't make it to the World Cup in 06!"
"Don't compare men's football with men's basketball? They don't deserve it!"
"The Heat started the new season with a winning streak. O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei have a reasonable combination inside and outside the lineup, and Eddie Jones is also a small forward with an average of close to 20+ per game! I don't think it's a big problem to win the Rockets!"
"I still hope that Yao Mai can quickly produce a chemical reaction, and the Rockets' lineup can also make further breakthroughs!"
"I just found out that Jeff Van Gundy and Stan Van Gundy are brothers, but these two guys don't look alike!"
"After all, McGrady is the scoring leader for two consecutive seasons. I believe that as long as he finds his form, he is capable of scoring 30+ points on any night!"
"The Heat have O'Neal, Wade, and Lin Fei, and the Rockets have Dayao, McGrady, and Uncle Huo. Combined, there are likely to be six All-Stars this year!"
"Juwan Howard is no longer at his peak, and the probability of being selected as an All-Star is too low, but Yao Mai and the Big Three of the Heat basically have a high probability!"
"With hundreds of millions of our Celestial Dynasty fans here, how could Lin Fei and Dayao lose the election? At least they have to be starters, haha!"
"When will the All-Star voting start? I can't wait to vote for Lin Fei and Dayao. Yes, I have to bring the outline!"
"Don't forget last season's All-Stars. It was because of our votes that Dayao squeezed out O'Neal and directly took the position of the starting center in the Western Conference!"
"Although O'Neal was a substitute in the Western Conference last season, he won the All-Star MVP. Our Yao is still far behind!"
"Dayao's progress this season has been obvious. I believe he won't suffer too much in front of Ao Pang!"
Jinping County, Guizhou Province.
In the village committee of a certain mountain village, the only TV set in the whole village was carried to the yard. More than 100 people, old and young, gathered in front of the TV, watching TV programs.
During the offseason, Lin Fei came to the mountain village to participate in poverty alleviation and public welfare undertakings. In addition to funding the construction of the Hope Primary School, he also donated more than 100 TCL TV sets to dozens of nearby villages.
The price of each 21-inch TV is about 500 yuan.
Before that, most of the nearby mountain villages had no TVs to watch, and there were only three or two in a town.
Moreover, in Jinping County during this period, every village was not connected to electricity. Because of the tight power supply, many villages could only have electricity for a few hours a day.
Under the leadership of the village head and supporting teacher Liu Ruoyun, the children and old people in the village gathered together today to watch the NBA game between the Heat and the Rockets live on TV[-].
"Look, the man wearing the red No. 22 jersey is Lin Fei. He is our great benefactor of Jinping. Without him, you kids wouldn't be able to watch TV!"
"This tall man must be Dayao. He is really tall. He and Lin Fei are the pride of our Chinese athletes!"
"Our Chinese sports industry is getting better and better, and the lives of ordinary people will be better in the end!"
"I heard that Dayao and Lin Fei can earn 500 million a year playing basketball in the country of the United States. It's a lot of money playing basketball!"
Several elderly people in the village were communicating with each other, and the support teacher Liu Ruoyun said with a smile:
"Uncle Sun, that's 500 million US dollars. This is our Chinese currency, which is 4000 million a year!"
"Oh my god, playing basketball makes so much money? Let us children in the mountains have to be trained well since childhood. If we can go to the United States to play like Lin Fei in the future, we will really be proud of our ancestors!"
The children squatted in front of the TV, but they started to yell:
"Why hasn't this match started yet? Teacher, we want to watch the game for a while!"
"I want to see Brother Yixiu and Sheriff Black Cat!"
"Why are these people so dark? Why are there so many gaudy patterns on their arms? What is this?"
Look back to Houston.
Toyota Center.
At [-]:[-] p.m. local time, the auditoriums on all sides were already full of fans.
This all-meter live broadcast and the focus battle that hundreds of millions of fans in China are looking forward to officially started at the whistle of the referee Joey Crawford.
Rockets players at home wear white jerseys, while Heat players away from home wear red jerseys.
The starting five for the Miami Heat are:
Point Guard (PG): Damon Jones,
Shooting Guard (SG): Dwyane Wade,
Small Forward (SF): Eddie Jones,
Power Forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,
Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.
The starting five for the Houston Rockets are:
Point Guard (PG): Tyronn Lue,
Shooting Guard (SG): Jim Jackson,
Small Forward (SF): Tracy McGrady,
Power Forward (SF): Juwan Howard,
Center (C): Dayao.
Although the Rockets lost the opening game of the new season, they quickly adjusted after returning home and beat the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. McGrady also scored 29 points in this game, Yao 21 points and 11 rebounds.
The biggest problem with this Rockets right now is that they don't have a suitable point guard. Tyronn Lue's overall performance during his player period was lackluster.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Dayao and O'Neal stepped onto the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball,
Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Van Gundy, who are two brothers, also walked to the sideline technical stage at this time and shook hands with each other.
"Brother, be merciful!"
"Brother, show me some face!"
The gambling company gave a handicap of 6.5 points for the away game. Even if it is an away game, the mainstream media and experts clearly believe that the Heat have a better chance of winning.
O'Neal took the lead in flying the basketball over Yao's head, but Tyronn Lue made an accurate judgment and rushed forward to get the ball before Damon Jones, showing his golf quotient.
The Rockets opened the first attack. Tyronn Lue pushed the ball into the frontcourt and quickly gave it to McGrady who wanted the ball from beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc.
McGrady is facing Eddie Jones tonight, which is an advantage for the Rockets. Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy also told McGrady that once the position is lost, he can try some singles.
Facing Eddie Jones with his back at the top of the arc, McGrady has a certain advantage in terms of height and strength.
Although the official height is 2.03 meters, McGrady's actual height has reached 2.06 meters. Coupled with a wingspan of 2.18 meters, this static talent is already quite invincible.
Without summoning Dayao's upward pick-and-roll, McGrady first bumped Eddie Jones twice from the side, and then quickly accelerated and broke through in the opposite direction after a quick fake move.
"Whoosh!"
Although he has reached the height of a power forward, McGrady's flexibility has not been affected. His first step is quite fast, and he is definitely ranked in the top three levels among guards in the league.
Even though Eddie Jones has always been very good defensively, he is 33 years old after all, and he has long lost the defensive ability of his peak period.
What's more, McGrady's defense against the current peak Kobe is still explosive, so how can he be afraid of an Eddie Jones.
McGrady's breakthrough was very sharp, and he threw off Eddie Jones directly, striding straight to kill the penalty area.
Finding a space in the middle distance on the strong side, McGrady suddenly braked and stopped, and he threw away Eddie Jones by more than one meter.
"Shh!"
McGrady's ball collection point is very low, probably in the middle of the thigh, close to the knee, which makes his ball lifting smoother, coupled with the highly coherent force of the calf and waist,
The take-off height is high, the release point is high, the time in the air is long, and the shot is shot from the highest point of the take-off. The standard two-stage pull-up jumper even has a slight fallback.
All of these reasons have created the infinite beauty of McGrady's jump shot. From the perspective of shooting beauty alone, even Kobe and Jordan have to bow down.
At the beginning of the game, Tracy McGrady sent an iconic pull-up jumper, and the Rockets fans at the scene cheered and screamed.
Not to mention that McGrady had completely swayed away from Eddie Jones when the ball was shot. Even if he jumped directly at the opponent and shot, Eddie Jones couldn't interfere.
The 25-year-old McGrady has reached the pinnacle of his career. Although he entered the league five seasons earlier than Yao, he is only one year older than Yao.
If it weren't for congenital scoliosis and numerous injuries, McGrady's career could have reached its peak in the Rockets.
Lin Fei, who was sitting on the Heat's courtside bench, observed McGrady's jump shot from the closest distance, and he was also full of admiration in his heart.
McGrady's dry shot relies too much on physical talent. This two-stage jump shot is very different from Lin Fei's one-stage shot.
Lin Fei's one-step shooting allows him to have a faster shot speed and a more balanced shooting force, but it is far inferior to McGrady's dry pull in terms of the height and difficulty of the shot.
99% of Lin Fei's shots in the game and training are between one-stage and 1.5-stage, which almost perfectly fits the shots of the Splash Brothers, mainly because of the shooting speed.
Moreover, Lin Fei's physical fitness is also at an average level, which is not enough for him to complete difficult two-stage shots, especially Kobe's fadeaway and McGrady's pull-up.
Before the rise of the Splash Brothers in the NBA, the mainstream guards' shooting movements were all two-stage. Jordan, Kobe, McGrady, and Ray Allen were all like this.
With the birth of Lin Fei in this parallel world, various basketball experts and fans who love to play have also begun to pay attention to and study one-step shooting.
In particular, Lin Fei's terrifying three-point shooting rate made the fans start to think, is the one-stage shooting really worth practicing than the two-stage shooting?
Tony Allen, who was sitting beside Lin Fei, humbly asked Lin Fei for advice like a little fanboy:
"Lin, I feel that there is a big gap between Tracy's and Ni's shooting movements. His shooting is too difficult, and his shooting percentage is far lower than yours. Isn't this a bit thankless?"
Although Tony Allen has been obsessed with defense since he was in college, offense is also an indispensable ability for every player, so Tony Allen will always ask Lin Fei about shooting skills.
"Tony, the reason why Tracy develops such a difficult pull-up is because he is always the team's first choice on the offensive end, and what he faces is a tight defense!"
"This requires the development of a shooting action that can be successfully shot under strict defense. This is very necessary in the offensive and critical moments!"
"As for me, because my role is to be the team's No. [-] person, most of my shots are misplaced to seize opportunities after covering pick-and-rolls or directly open shots. The speed of the shot is the most important!"
After hearing Lin Fei's analysis, Tony Allen understood instantly, nodded and said, "Lin, what you said is too reasonable, so it's best for me to practice one-piece shooting with you!"
Lin Fei said with a smile: "One-stage and two-stage shots are not inherently good or bad. They are completely different from person to person. You need to see which shooting method is more suitable for your physical fitness!"
"I can only shoot well for one stage now. If I have enough physical fitness, I naturally hope that I can also develop a pull-up shot like McGrady, or a fade-away shot like Kobe!"
Tony Allen stared at Lin Fei with the eyes of a monster, and praised repeatedly:
"Lin, your catch-and-shoot three-pointers are scary enough, and all of them are so accurate."
"If you develop Tracy McGrady's dry pull and Kobe's back, wouldn't you be directly invincible? How can you not be able to defend against shots?"
Seeing Tony Allen's exaggerated expression, Lin Fei smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it. How could it be so easy to practice Kobe's back and McGrady's pull?"
"If there is such a day, then I should be able to become the boss of a team, right? Haha, the boss who can't dribble!"
Tony Allen quickly echoed:
"That's for sure, hit at least 10 three-pointers every game, so what if you can't dribble? The management and coaching staff will definitely find you the best point guard partner, and the team will completely arrange tactics around you !"
Lin Fei suddenly thought that his three-point attribute had always been 99 points, and he hadn't had time to raise it to the full value of 100 points.
According to the system's explanation, the basketball attribute that has reached 99 points can be raised to the full value of 100 points through free attributes at any time, but it requires a lot of free attribute points.
Lin Fei has always been very satisfied with his current three-point ability.
If you really want to increase from 99 to 100 points, I wonder if there will be new surprises, or unlock new three-point skills?
On the court, the game continued.
The Heat attacked, Wade received a pass from Damon Jones in the frontcourt, and faced Jim Jackson's defense.
Jim Jackson and O'Neal were also rookies in 1992, and he was also the No. 4 pick in the first round. At the age of 34, he is already an out-and-out veteran of the league.
At his peak, Jim Jackson averaged 18.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He also reached the quasi-All-Star level, with rich offensive methods and a range covering the entire three-point area.
But Jim Jackson is always easy to get along with his teammates because of his personal personality problems, which also makes him the number one homeless man in the league. The Rockets are currently his 10th team in the league.
Last season, Jim Jackson had a good relationship with Francis and Yao in the Rockets, but with the arrival of McGrady, there was also a conflict between the two because of the possession of the ball.
This is also one of the main contradictions at the beginning of the Rockets' new season. The management is already trying to trade away Jim Jackson.
Facing Jim Jackson's unstoppable shots, Wade didn't choose to be reckless, but called O'Neal's up screen, misplaced and faced Yao, relying on his speed to overwhelm the opponent.
"Whoosh!"
Dayao's switch defense was also very smart, and he retreated directly to the center of the penalty area without choosing to raise his defense.
O'Neal's move down attracted Dayao's defensive attention, and Wade went right to accelerate into the penalty area, vacated to attract Dayao's supplementary defense, and gave the ball from the armpit to O'Neal on the left.
"Boom!"
O'Neal caught the ball and jumped up, and it was a shark dunk.
Dayao alone is hard to beat with four hands, and Jim Jackson is obviously not active enough in the process of defending the pick-and-roll this time, and Juwan Howard should have defended it.
Jeff Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly became angry and yelled at the Rockets players on the court.
Heat (2): (2) Rockets.
Ball transfer.
This time, McGrady and Dayao also played a pick-and-roll at a high position. After the misalignment, McGrady accelerated the breakthrough with the ball, and also passed the slow-footed Shark with a stride.
Haslem made up the defense in time, but McGrady saw the timing right. After a lateral jump, he put the basket sideways. The basketball flew over Haslem's head and hit the net.
"Shh!"
McGrady started the game tonight in a pretty good state, scoring 4 points in a row on two shots.
Back on the defensive end, Wade made a mistake in a breakthrough pass, which was successfully predicted by McGrady. He attacked with a long arm and directly completed a flying steal.
"Snapped!"
The Rockets countered the fast break, McGrady took the ball to kill the frontcourt, and faced Wade's quick return to defend the corner and overtake,
McGrady made an emergency stop directly outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, his calves and waist and abdomen exerted strength instantly, and he chased and made a decisive three-pointer.
"Shh!"
and also.
Heat (2): (7) Rockets.
McGrady scored 2 points in the opening 7 minutes, completely igniting the enthusiasm of the home fans at Toyota Arena.
This chasing three-pointer was really picturesque, and Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, seemed to recall the magical scene of McGrady in the original world at 35 seconds and 13 minutes.
After thinking about it, the 35 seconds and 13 minutes in McGrady's original world seemed to be in December 2004.
If there is still 35 seconds and 13 minutes to happen in this parallel world, it should be next month.
Can McGrady's battle of the Conferred Gods be continued in this parallel world?
McGrady, with sleepy eyes, tilted his head with a smile on his back defense, and pointed to Lin Fei who was sitting on the Heat's bench.
"Lin, I already have a three-pointer!"
Lin Fei also smiled. McGrady, who is not injured, really plays very handsomely.
The white horse and spear are heroic.
The Heat's special plane arrived in Houston yesterday afternoon. After staying at the hotel, Lin Fei went to Dayao's home for another two hours of training.
Unlike Lin Fei who lives in a big villa, Dayao is said to be the No. 50 pick in the NBA, but he only bought a small villa in Houston for $[-].
In the previous two seasons, Dayao even lived in a rented house.
Although he came from the No. 400 pick, the average annual salary of Dayao's four-year rookie contract with the Rockets is just over $[-] million.
And after all kinds of taxes and brokerage commissions were taken away, the Shark Club and the Basketball Association of Tianchao Magic City would have to share a large part of it, and what was left for Dayao was even less than $80.
Lin Fei has never played in the CBA, so his salary does not need to go to the Basketball Association, and his annual salary for the new season has already surpassed Dayao.
It's more or less different, after all, they are supported by rich wives, and Dayao and Ye Li are still in love.
It just so happened that Maddie was there last night, so the four of them had dinner together and chatted very well with each other.
Although the relationship between McGrady and Dayao may not be good in the later stages of their careers, it is now the honeymoon period of their cooperation, and they still take good care of each other.
As for Wade and O'Neal, they naturally went to a nightclub in Houston with a few other Heat teammates to have fun.
On the open-air basketball court of Dayao Villa that night, Lin Fei and McGrady even tried some fixed-point three-pointers.
As a result, McGrady lost badly.
"Lin, although I lost now, in tomorrow's game, I will definitely hit more three-pointers than you, and then lead the team to victory!"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Tracy, in tomorrow's game, although I'm not sure I can hit more three-pointers than you, I will definitely hit a higher percentage than you!"
Maddie: "..."
These words are absolutely murderous!
Perhaps it was Lin Fei's words last night that completely aroused McGrady's determination to win the game tonight.
The 3 points and 7 steal in all 1 shots in the opening game fully demonstrated the demeanor of the two-time scoring champion.
Heat attack,
This time, O'Neal got a favorable position at the basket, received a pass from Wade, pushed Yao to a small hook, and the basketball went into the net steadily.
"Shh!"
"Yao, is your defense still that bad? I'm afraid you won't be able to defend me until I'm 40!"
Facing O'Neal's taunt, Dayao didn't speak, but quickly responded after coming to the offensive end, and also hit a mid-range back kick.
"Shh!"
"Shaquille, your current defense is not much better. I doubt you can continue to play in the NBA until you are 40 years old!"
Dayao's response was also very humorous. After a round of playoff contests last season, coupled with the cooperation in the All-Stars, the relationship between O'Neal and Dayao is still very good.
The Heat attack.
Wade continued to pass the ball to O'Neal in the low post. This time, Yao defended well. After all, he had an absolute advantage in height.
After Wade's breakthrough, he made an emergency stop and made a half-stop shot, and the basketball missed.
"Bang!"
Dayao protected the defensive rebound and gave the ball to Tyronn Lue on the point guard.
After McGrady came to the frontcourt, he caught the ball and faced Eddie Jones. After three threats at the top of the arc, he pulled up and shot again, facing the opponent with another three-pointer.
But this time McGrady shot too confidently, the basketball was a little too strong, and hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.
"Bang!"
The offensive rebound was just picked up by Jim Jackson. The latter borrowed Dayao as a screen and slipped to the baseline to pick the basket.
"Shh!"
Heat (4): (9) Rockets.
In the opening 3 minutes, the Heat did not play smoothly on the offensive end. Stan Van Gundy also called a long timeout, preparing to replace Lin Fei in advance.
In the Heat's current team lineup, Damon Jones is actually just a false starter. Most of the time, he takes the ball through the frontcourt and hands it to Wade, and then squats in the corner to open up space.
Lin Fei is the Heat's main backcourt partner with Wade.
Seeing that Lin Fei got up and was going to play, the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center also erupted in cheers and chattered among themselves.
Speaking of Lin Fei's current fame, he is not only a household name in China, but also has a high reputation among the star-studded NBA and American fans.
After all, Lin Fei not only dedicated a 1.3-second lore in the finals of last season, but also beat the American Dream Six with a three-point buzzer in the Olympic Games in August.
Although it was Ginobili's Agendeng who finally won the Olympic championship, Lin Fei's reputation in the Olympics is no less than that of Ginobili.
In the original world, Ginobili eliminated the United States in the semi-finals of the Yadian Olympics, and then defeated Italy in the final to win the championship. The Olympic Organizing Committee also awarded Ginobili an MVP trophy.
This is also the only MVP trophy in the history of the entire Olympic men's basketball team.
But in today's parallel world, the American Dream Six was eliminated by the Tianchao men's basketball team in the semi-finals. Although A Genting also won the championship in the end, his influence and topicality were much smaller.
Therefore, because of Lin Fei's butterfly effect, Ginobili did not win the men's basketball MVP trophy on this year's Olympic men's basketball podium.
On the contrary, it was Lin Fei who beat the US team with three points at the buzzer. Among the fans of the US and China, Ginobili had a higher degree of topicality and influence than Ginobili.
The historical status of a basketball player does require the accumulation of honor and achievements.
But his huge influence in the fan base is often more related to the characteristics of his playing style and exciting classic moments.
Just like McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points, the influence in the hearts of the group is enough to surpass the efforts of most NBA players throughout their careers.
Moment is eternity!
Lin Fei's current status in the NBA and in the world basketball world is still very low, but his classic lore in the NBA Finals and the Olympics,
But it has penetrated into the hearts of countless fans and is regarded as a classic of the sport of basketball.
Perhaps considering the special significance of tonight's Celestial Derby, Stan Van Gundy also went along with the flow,
While replacing Lin Fei, he also roughly replaced Haslem, so that the players from the three major dynasties gathered on the court in advance.
After only playing for 3 minutes, he was roughly replaced, which somewhat made Haslem feel a little unhappy, and he was even more worried that his starting power forward position would not be kept.
After all, this season has indeed made a lot of progress. As an old teammate, Haslem sees it in his eyes, and his ability to open up space on the offensive end is incomparable to Haslem.
In the five live broadcast rooms of Tianchao.
Seeing that Lin Fei and Lin Fei came on the bench roughly at the same time after the timeout, Director Zhang's commentary voice became more excited and high-pitched:
"Lin Feihe has roughly entered the court ahead of time. Three Chinese NBA players are competing on the same stage. This moment is destined to become a classic. Our Chinese men's basketball team has really risen!"
On the court, the Heat organized the offense.
Wade held the ball and first made a pick-and-roll with O'Neal in the high post, making a breakthrough to attract the Rockets' defensive attention.
At the same time, Lin Feihe also quickly made an off-ball screen near the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei used the cover to throw off Jim Jackson who was chasing him, and quickly rushed to the right at a 0-degree angle.
As for Juwan Howard, who was roughly positioned, the switch was obviously a step late. Wade, who was breaking through, had already seen the opportunity, and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei with a flick of his wrist.
Lin Fei was at a 0-degree angle on the right, the sweet spot where he had never missed a shot. He caught the ball and took off, facing Uncle Huo who was unable to defend in time, he just shot without saying a word.
"Shh!"
As soon as Lin Fei came on the court, the Heat's outside firepower quickly became fierce, making the Rockets' defense lose sight of one another.
In the next offensive round, Lin Fei chose to screen with O'Neal at the top of the arc, and he was misplaced to meet Dayao who switched defenses.
As a teammate of the national team, Lin Fei is very familiar with Dayao's defensive characteristics.
Even though Dayao switched defenses in time this time, the disadvantage of his footsteps still exists after all.
Lin Fei first made an emergency stop and took a quick step back. He instantly retreated two meters away from Dayao, received the pass from Wade, and then Lightning made another shot.
Although Dayao's footsteps were slow, but after all, his height was too dominant, and his long arms rushed forward quickly, covering Lin Fei's shot space.
When Lin Fei retreated to catch the ball and took off to shoot, his brain quickly made a judgment, and he directly made a huge backward lean, and quickly threw the ball with a super difficult posture.
"Shh!"
The moment the basketball hit the net, Lin Fei also fell on his back on the court floor.
Dayao stared at Lin Fei who was lying on the ground with rounded eyes, completely stupefied.
It's okay for him to meow?
After all, Dayao had spent two months with Lin Fei day and night in the national team, and he had a very clear understanding of his three-point shooting in games and training.
Even though Lin Fei's shooting percentage is high, his shot speed is fast, and there are many unimaginable ultra-long three-pointers,
But this is the first time Dayao has seen such a situation where he directly leans back and shoots after receiving the ball.
Originally, he was confident that he could block Lin Fei's shot this time, but he didn't expect that he would be the clown in the end.
Could it be that this guy has unlocked new skills again?
The Toyota Arena also erupted instantly at this moment, and the fans in the auditorium on all sides were discussing one after another.
"OMG, this throwback shot is too scary, right?"
"What the hell did I see? A super-long fadeaway shot that was nearly 9 meters away from the basket. How did this guy do it?"
"How can Lin, who catches the ball, have such a fast shot? It's unscientific!"
In front of the commentary stand on the sidelines, ESPN's live commentator Mike Breen patted the table and exclaimed. He swore he had never seen such a strange three-pointer.
"Lin's three-pointer after catching the ball is completely different from Kobe Jordan's backward jumper. He is still a complete one-piece shot!"
"One-step fadeaway jumper, oh my god, how the hell does this guy balance his power?"
Wade was the first to rush up to pull Lin Fei up, puffed his cheeks and said with a smile:
"Lin, I got 30+ in the opening game, and Shaquille got 30+ in the last game. It's your turn to have unlimited firepower tonight!"
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows naturally, looking at the basket with his gaze like a sword, his invisible pretense is the most deadly:
"Give me unlimited fire rights? I'm afraid it's not just 30+!"
