Chapter 1171: Fight Curry

Barkley continued: "Interestingly, the Heat's shooting percentage inside is not as high as that of the Suns, which shows that the inside combination of the Hammers and Yi drove the Heat's offense to the outside.

Let's take a look at the relevant data now. The Heat's inside offense accounts for only 38%, and their outside offense accounts for 62%. This is a very shocking number system, because this data is completely reversed, and the focus of offense is no longer It's not a traditional inside line, but an outside line. The Heat's three-pointers account for 31% of their shots, and they average more than twenty three-pointers per game. This is also a very scary number system.

According to the development situation of the league, the small ball era is likely to come, and this Heat is likely to be it. "

Kenny Smith said: "Although I am not optimistic about the Suns, the Suns are almost rebuilding and need time to adjust and adjust. The Heat only won by 10 points, which is not a big victory. They were still beaten by the Hammers. The defense is suppressing, so what I want to say now is that facing this powerful Heat team, the Suns are not without a chance.”

Pat Riley was happy to win this game, he hasn't won against the Suns in a long time.

He is trying to play small ball, increase outside shooting, increase three-point shots, and speed up the offensive and defensive rhythm. Today's attempt was very successful.

In the future, he still needs to solve defensive problems. There are still many problems to solve and he must keep trying.

But today's game also made him see some problems.

Gasol, for example, is too slow, which slows down the team's offensive and defensive speed.

Maybe we need to continue trading. After strengthening the inside line and the point guard, the Heat can be stronger.

He looked at the United Arab Emirates. The Chinese team's speed was pretty good, a little faster than Gasol. It would be great if they could get him.

The Suns have not lost the opening game in several seasons. This time they lost the opening game of the new season, and the media made a lot of hype about it.

"The sun sets in the west and the heat rises in the east!"

The game was heavily covered by Miami Sports News with this headline.

"Let's overthrow the entire league together. The Suns' slogan for the new season will become a joke!" FOX Sports Channel reported on this theme.

The famous basketball commentator Bill Simon updated his ESPN column, saying: "The Hammers' performance is still fantastic, but the nearly rebuilt Suns team makes me very disappointed. As the season moves forward, this aging Suns team will gradually Losing little vitality, it will sink."

The next afternoon, the team held a tactical meeting.

"Hammer, you didn't attack in this game, and the Heat didn't double-team you, so your positioning needs to change. You need to take action to attract double-teams. We can't copy the Magic's one-star, four-shooter tactic. You are on the offensive end. More powerful than Warcraft, we need your offensive energy at the basket.”

Payton said at the meeting.

"After the next game, we really need to make constant adjustments." Li Ba admitted that there was a problem with his positioning.

On this day, ESPN and other professional media announced their top five teams' chances of winning this season, and the Suns were not among them.

The first place is the Heat with a 45% chance of winning, the second place is the Celtics with 43%, the third place is the Lakers with 42%, the fourth place is the Mavericks with 35%, and the fifth place is the Magic with 30% %.

Li Ba accepted an interview with the media. He said about ESPN’s ranking prediction: “It’s bullshit predictions, and ESPN’s professionalism is a joke.

I won’t talk about other teams, but I want to know how the Magic are above us? Did that monster's strength suddenly increase tenfold? "

ESPN Basketball also officially responded to this, saying: "Our predictions are based on the lineup. The Suns' lineup looks very strong. Nash, Carter, McGrady, and Ray Allen are all superstars, but It just looks strong.

Please note that they should only be former superstars. Each of them is in decline, and some have declined very sharply, such as Tracy McGrady.

Nash, who played well last season, is 36 years old. He has entered the twilight of his career. Any injury may bring him down. Ray Allen is okay, but he is 35 years old and has lost his explosive scoring ability, and his old age has caused his defense to drop a notch. Carter has struggled to fly, and his shooting is inconsistent.

Therefore, we believe that their lineup is not enough to have the possibility of winning the championship, and Hammer alone is absolutely unable to make a difference. "

On the 28th, the Suns faced the Warriors in the same district at home.

Both sides announced their starting lineup before the game.

Warriors: Biedrins, David Lee, Dorell White, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry.

Suns: Li Ba, Arab League, Carter, Ginobili, Nash.

David Lee was traded to the Warriors last season. With 20+11.7 data, he was selected as the Western Conference All-Star backup forward last season.

"David, are you okay?" Li Ba greeted when the two teams met at the exit.

"Boss, I'm not bad." David Li quickly came over and gave Li Ba a fist bump and a hug.

"Uncle Carter."

Next to him, Curry jumped up to Vince Carter.

Carter hugged Curry and smiled: "Stephen, you did a good job last season."

Curry smiled slightly proudly and said: "Yes, Uncle Carter, the style of play in the league is changing now, and this suits me just right."

Then the two teams took the field, and after the warm-up, the game began.

"Some people say our season slogan is a joke, but we know it's not and I'm what keeps us going."

Although he lost the opening game, Li Ba still shouted the slogan of this season: "Come on, brothers, let us work together to defeat the entire league!"

"Come on daddy!"

Guoguo shouted jumping up and down outside the crowd.

"Let us work together to defeat the entire alliance!"

In front of the Suns bench, the entire team started chanting, and then the entire audience chanted together.

"The morale is so high!"

On the other side, in front of the Warriors bench, Curry said in surprise.

"The boss can always inspire all our fighting spirit." David Li said.

"You still call him boss after all this time?" Curry said in surprise.

"Of course." David Lee smiled.

"One day, I will use my shot to shoot down his defense." Curry said with full confidence.

David Li was stunned and suddenly laughed.

"David, why are you laughing?" Curry said unhappily.

"Rookie, if you have that kind of projection ability, I can only say that you will find that it will be a tragedy for you." David Lee said.

"Why?" Curry asked doubtfully.

"Because the boss will deal with you personally, he will directly guard you to death, just like he guarded against Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Wade." David Lee said.

"But I'm different from them. I can be very far away from the basket. I won't rush in to look for shots. He can't guard me." Curry said.

At this time, he decided to continue to strengthen his shooting training, especially long-range shots, not too close to the three-point line.
