The Fifth Point Guard - Chapter 554
Chapter 556 Undefeated in the East vs. Failure in the West
“Boom!”
Shaquille O’Neal topped his defense against Michael Doriak and made a slam dunk with both hands!
The entire basket was trembling, making a “Boom Boom” sound.
“Shaquille, today is just training, and tomorrow is the official game. Don’t hurt ourselves.” Wade said loudly.
“Huh, Dwyane, you have to play well tomorrow, as long as you can get close to Shen Wuwu, we will win tomorrow!” O’Neill said.
“It seems that’Big Shark’ has already smelled blood in advance.” Antoine Walker smiled.
Jason-Williams said: “It’s great to be in Miami. With Dwyane and Gary, Shentong’s life will not be better tomorrow.”
“This is the closest I have been to a championship. I hope I can realize my dream this season!” Alenzo Mourning said emotionally, sitting on the sidelines with a sweat scarf on his shoulders, “I have never been in a team like this. With so many All-Star teammates, I believe that our team will defeat the Cavaliers tomorrow.”
James Posey, who has never seen Chinese players much, said: “Is there a team stronger than Miami in this league? Doesn’t exist!”
In contrast to the optimism of the Heat players, the Heat coach Stan Van Gundy has a solemn expression.
Although the team currently maintains a complete victory, the next game will be the real test for him.
Since O’Neal moved to Miami, Pat Riley, nicknamed “The Fortuneteller”, has been around to move.
After seeing Phil Jackson’s success and status, Riley also knows what it means to follow the trend and what it means to move from time to time.
The success of coaching Michael Jordan to achieve the Bulls dynasty and leading the “OK combination” to build the Lakers’ three consecutive championships with Jackson’s success has become Riley’s example.
Looking at the combination of O’Neal and Wade gradually forming a climate, coupled with a large number of All-Star players to cast, the Heat are very hopeful that they will become a super team with consecutive championships in the short term.
So, Riley wanted to come out, but he still lacked an opportunity.
Big Fan Gundy has a good reputation in the league and his coaching results are not bad. It is not easy to directly dismiss him and replace him.
Riley has been waiting for an appropriate time.
The keen big Van Gundy has learned of Riley’s ambitions, so the pressure on him is very high.
Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time in the season, if they can’t show enough strength to defeat their opponents, then Riley is likely to build momentum for himself in this game, such as “the Heat who can’t beat Cleveland are no different from last season”, or It’s a topic like “Only a famous coach like Pat Riley can hold these All-Stars”.
Once it becomes the subject of discussion and support by fans, Riley may really become the new coach of the Miami Heat.
So, for Van Gundy, this game can only be won, not lost.
“I say everyone.” Jason Capono, who has always been low-key, suddenly said, “I don’t think we should take it for granted. The Cleveland Cavaliers were last year’s championship. Although our lineup is indeed very strong, there are some in their lineup. A player like Shentong, as a teammate who has fought with him before, I think before a game with him, we must think of the difficulty of the game as a **** level. There can be no lightness or carelessness, otherwise he will let us go to hell. .”
Kapono has never liked to express his opinions in the team, but this time, it rarely hit the optimism and self-confidence of the current teammates.
Walker first smiled and said: “Jason, I have been here for so long, and I saw you take the initiative to express your opinions the first time, but you didn’t expect that you would become more ambitious and defeat your own prestige.”
Williams also said: “Yes, do you think he is Michael Jordan? Even if we have Shaquille and Dwyane, plus an all-star lineup, he can’t even want to win this time.”
O’Neill stood silently beside Capo Noir, suddenly reached out his hand and put his shoulders on Capo Nou’s body, slowly lowered his head, and said without squinting: “You can watch how I abuse their insiders on the bench. , And remember, you are from Miami now.”
Feeling O’Neill’s oppression, Capo Nodded repeatedly.
On the day after the Lakers lore, the Cavaliers ushered in the league’s most focused battle so far this season at home.
The two undefeated teams finally met.
One is the Cleveland Cavaliers with Eastern players and supernova Shentong from China. They are the defending champions this season.
The other is the strength of the book that represents the pinnacle of the league. Most of the lineup is made up of new and powerful American All-Stars.
The undefeated East meets the defeat of the West.
Cough cough
This is bound to be a splendid event full of sparks.
One thing that surprised Shentong most in this game was that he met his Chinese music idol in the last time and space, Jay Lun, beside the stadium.
Jay was sitting in the first row on the sidelines in this game, watching from close range.
Shen Tong was also able to shook hands with Jay Chou before the game and exchanged a few words.
Jay Lun told Shentong that he also likes to play basketball very well, and he is a good player. He is also a well-known master in his circle of friends. If he has the opportunity to join a team to play and play, Shen Tong readily agrees.
He pointed to Jason Williams on the other side of the court and said: “Your level should be about the same as him, and your style is very similar. After the game, you have the opportunity to ask Jason for advice or two.”
Jaylen nodded solemnly.
The starting list of both parties is as follows:
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers has not changed, center Z, power forward Gooden, small forward James, shooting guard Shen Tong, point guard Wagner.
The Heat’s starting lineup has changed a lot from last season.
The center is still Shark O’Neal, the power forward is Haslem, the small forward Posey, shooting guard Wade, point guard Williams.
Haslem was able to become the starter of the talented Heat team mainly because there must always be a guy in the lineup who is willing to do dirty work, just like O’Neal’s Fox, Grant and other inside partners in the Lakers period.
Walker, Mourning, Payton and other stars are placed on the bench and can be seamlessly played at any time.
The thickness of the Heat’s team lineup this season is the best in history, and it’s no wonder that guys like Riley have also moved their minds.
For this game, O’Neal and Wade have long been suffocated.
O’Neal wants to prove himself with the championship~www.mtlnovel.com~ He must be faster than Kobe.
Wade wants to prove himself with victory, he needs to step through the two mountains of Kobe and Shentong to become a leader in the position of shooting guard.
The opening goal of the Heat is very clear, which is to focus on the Cavaliers inside.
Compared to the Cavaliers outside trio composed of Audio-Technica James, Shentong and Wagner, they can attack and defend well. It is not a wise choice to fight hard. So at the beginning of the game, Van Gundy wanted to attack the inside of the Cavaliers.
At the beginning of the game, O’Neal was like an agile shark, winning a jump ball for the visiting team.
Then, he showed his desire to attack very anxiously, and got stuck with the big Z to ask for the ball.
O’Neal, who got the ball, didn’t see who was behind him at all, and a slam dunk on his back was a turnaround dunk!
The Heat take the lead.
“Enlighten, knights, today’s stage belongs to us!” O’Neill yelled.
The normal update will resume tomorrow.
