Legendary basketball manager

"This is the expected situation."

Shen Fei said lightly.

The Rockets are different from the Heat.

Although they all claim to have the Big Three, the core of the Rockets is still the combination of Yao and Mai in the final analysis.

Whether it is Griffin or George, they are just first-year rookies, and they are far from the time to carry the banner.

In the Yao-Mike combination, since Dayao is a center, compared to the outside giants, he actually has some limitations.

For example, just a few minutes after the Heat hit the shock wave, Dayao had plenty of energy and the ability to crush the opponent's inside line.

But because of the special nature of the center, Yao Ming can't play singles with the ball.

In other words, if the teammates can't get the ball to Yao in the low post, then the little Eastern giant will become a decoration and cannot play the role of attacking the city.

In contrast to the Heat, James and Wade can lead the team separately.

Both of them have a strong ability to attack the ball and can perfectly play the core role of the team.

At present, in the Rockets, the outside cores of the connecting segment are Lawson and Kevin Martin.

The former still needs to be developed, and the latter is limited by physical fitness, making it difficult to cope with high-end games.

Especially today, when Martin faced the Flash who was at his peak, he was unilaterally blown away!

That's why.The reason why the Heat can directly overtake the score in just a few minutes.

[When Roy comes back, the situation will improve. ]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

He was so eager to trade Roy before because he saw the potential problems of the bench and wanted to choose an outside player who could serve as the core of the transition.

"As I said before, basketball is a five-person sport after all."

"No matter how thick your bench lineup is, you can't put it all on the field."

"And these so-called bench gangsters are still much inferior to real stars."

"As long as we let LeBron and Dwayne lead the team separately, we can have an advantage in every transition."

Pat Riley was in a good mood and talked eloquently.

"Maybe." Shen Fei smiled slightly, he was too lazy to refute, and then changed the topic: "However, James and Wade, it seems that the effect of leading the team alone is better than being on the court at the same time."

"For now, it does."

"The Heat are still in the running-in period. It won't be long before they cooperate with each other tacitly, and the effect will naturally be better."

Riley replied confidently.

"Oh?"

"Then I have another question—the two of them, who is the boss of the team?"

Shen Fei asked a heartbreaking question.

Riley was stunned for a while when he heard the words.

"I'm not going to interfere with this issue, let it be."

After thinking for a while, he replied lightly.

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, Riley was more inclined to James and Wade as the boss of the Heat.

But things backfired. Wade's competitive state declined rapidly due to a knee injury.

Coupled with the fact that he and James are siblings, the two super giants made a private decision-Wade told James, be yourself!I will help you win the championship!

So far, the Heat have truly become a championship-level team, and then won two consecutive championships.

"We have an old saying in China that a country cannot live without a king. There is also an old saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

"One day the Heat can't determine the core of the team, and one day they can't fully run in."

Shen Fei swears nonsense.

"If that's the case, why did you tell me?"

"Don't your Rockets also want to compete for the championship this year? Why do you still care about the opponent for the championship?"

Riley asked with a smile.

"Just let me say it casually."

Shen Fei said lightly.

He knew it was not in Riley's character to believe whatever was said.

Then it's better to bewitch, what if it works?

............

While the two were talking, the second quarter of the game was over.

After the main players of both sides returned to the field, the game returned to balance again.

After halftime, the score came to 59:58, and the Rockets led by one point.

During the intermission, Tracy McGrady took the initiative to ask Mark Jackson, saying that he wanted to play the entire second half.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but agreed to T-MAC's request.

Mark Jackson knew the importance of this game.

Once they can defeat the Heat, the biggest favorite to win the championship, it will undoubtedly be a great encouragement to the young Rockets.

After all, before the start of the game, many fans on the Internet still questioned the gold content of the Rockets' winning streak.

For example, a fan commented on the Rockets' official Twitter:

"Except for the first game, defeating the Lakers without Bynum, the Rockets have not encountered any strong opponents in their 12-game winning streak."

"And the Lakers are a notoriously slow team. In the first game of the season, they didn't play at the level they should have!"

And this comment happened to be seen by Mark Jackson.

Seeing this kind of argument, the Rockets coach only felt angry and funny.

[2 wins in a row, you say it’s just luck, 3 wins in a row, 4 in a row, now you have 12 in a row, haven’t you proven yourself yet? ]

Mark Jackson was speechless, and naturally hoped to face those doubters by defeating a top team like the Heat!

............

After a short break, the second half of the game began!

The Heat go first.

As soon as he came up, James turned on the attack mode.

Facing George's defense, he used the cover to go straight to the basket.

Fortunately, this time Yao Ming's defensive assistance was in place. Relying on his height and long arms, he successfully interfered with James' shot.

Griffin took off the rebound and handed the ball to Lowry.

Xiaogangpao was about to counterattack, but found that the players of the Heat had all returned to their own half.

[So outrageous...]

Lowry sighed inwardly.

So far this season, this is the fastest retreat speed he has ever seen!

In desperation, Lowry could only start to organize a positional attack.

Yao Ming frantically asked for the ball in the low post.

But the center of the Heat, Joel Anthony, adopted a defensive strategy around the front and did not give Yao a chance to catch the ball easily.

Lowry originally wanted to use a lob to let Yao Ming take advantage of his height and make it easier to catch the ball.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he found that James in the bottom corner was hunched over, obviously ready to steal at any time.

Lowry quickly changed his move and passed the ball to McGrady on the outside with a flick of his wrist.

T-MAC made a shot fake after receiving the ball, and then took an explosive first step, directly obliterating Wade's defense.

Then, McGrady drove straight in and came to the free throw line one step inward.

At this time, the two insiders of the Heat have all shrunk to the basket, forming a tendency to encircle T-MAC.

In the blink of an eye, McGrady suddenly threw the ball to the backboard.

Seeing this scene, James, who was in the bottom corner, immediately reacted, knowing that the opponent was going to use a "unique trick"-self-throwing and dunking!

He hurriedly sprinted to the basket, kicked his right foot hard after running to the three-second zone, and flew towards the basketball at the same time as McGrady.

For a moment, the two of them became like a pair of dragons grabbing the pearl!
