Chapter 149 Internal strife breaks out!
After a wave of five consecutive victories, the Heat's record came to 22 wins and 9 losses, with a winning percentage of 70%, which was only half a win away from the Eagles' 22 wins and 8 losses.
They are only 23 games behind the Raptors, who are first in the Eastern Conference, with 7 wins and 1.5 losses.
The momentum can be described as extremely ferocious, and it looks like they want to regain the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Next, they will play against the Magic at home.
Another full-bodied team, since Howard left, the Magic have run wild on a bad road.
In the last away game, Xue Liancheng did not accompany the team due to injury. This time at home, he finally met his old buddy.
——Noah Vonleh.
before the game.
Xue Liancheng walked over to say hello: "Hi, that handsome young man, long time no see..."
When Feng Lai saw Xue Liancheng, he was even more excited than when he saw his biological father. He hugged Xue Liancheng for a long time without letting go, "Xue, long time no see, you have gained weight again..."
Xue Liancheng: "..."
Mudd!
If you can't talk nicely, don't say anything. It's a bit too much to pull out a knife as soon as you meet someone.
Feng Lai said to himself, "But he is stronger than the last time we met."
Xue Liancheng: "Thank you for your compliment. Wait for me after the game and I'll treat you to a big dinner."
Feng Lai looked disappointed: "Hey... I thought I was being entertained."
Xue Liancheng solemnly warned, "If you continue to indulge, you will be unemployed in four years."
Feng Lai muttered angrily, "I just said it casually..."
Xue Liancheng: "That's right if you say so."
After they went their separate ways, they did keep in touch, but not too frequently because he was either training or competing.
Occasionally, I would say a few words, either you are busy or I am busy, but nothing happened while we were chatting.
However, he probably still knows that Feng Lai's current situation is not optimistic.
Although the Magic have been aiming to cultivate new players in recent seasons, there are too many talents, such as Nikola Vucevic, Victor Oladipo, Tobias Harris, Evan -Fournier, as well as this year's rookie Elfrid Payton, are waiting for help.
Besides.
Feng Lai also has a competitor with overlapping positions.
That's right.
It's one of his draft templates.
——Channing Frye.
In the case of free competition, Feng Lei suffered a great loss.
after all.
Judging from Feng Lai's current level, how could he possibly be able to compete with his seniors?
Since the start of the game, he has played off the bench, averaging 18.7 minutes per game, only contributing 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds, shooting 42.2% from the field, and a poor 27% from the three-point range.
As an inside player, this performance is already a disaster.
If it weren't for Feng Lai's ability to protect the basket, he would probably have been relegated to the sidelines.
Show number four!
Does it reflect this level?
The Magic's management is even preparing for a quick-acting life-saving pill. After all, Xue Liancheng, who also came out of the Indiana Mountainers, is already in full swing and has grown into one of the league's outstanding backcourt players.
But they chose a stupid guy.
It's so sad...
If they had known that Feng Lai's ability to protect the basket was also honed with Xue Liancheng's help this summer, they would probably have been hit.
Feng Lai said angrily again: "..."
Xue Liancheng patted Feng Lai on the shoulder and encouraged, "Okay, no more talking, just be more confident, okay? At least you have seniors looking after you, so you can make a bold shot. It doesn't matter if you don't make the shot."
Oladipo also came from the Indiana Mountain People and is their senior. Von Lay mentioned that Oladipo still takes good care of Von Lay.
But the mud can't support the wall...
The main problem is still lack of confidence.
Feng Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I still miss the days when I played ball with you. That was my happiest time."
Xue Liancheng: "..."
Of course you will miss me when I take you there.
You don’t have to take responsibility, and you won’t be scolded if you don’t make a shot.
The main thing is that the expectations are different.
When the Indiana Hillers, no one expected them to break into the championship, so the outside world is tolerant of them.
Now in the Magic, Feng Lai has high hopes. Once he performs poorly, he will naturally be criticized by the outside world, and he will have to endure being ostracized from the team and reprimanded by the head coach.
The pressure is nothing like it was in Indiana.
With Feng Lai's fragile endurance, even if his playing level is above the line, it will be difficult to show it.
But Zhigui knows that he can't actually help Feng Lai.
Feng Lai looked envious, "You are very happy, you have become the core of the team, tsk tsk... no one dares to do anything to you."
Xue Liancheng was unhappy when he heard this. "I have to criticize you a few words. Everything I did today was achieved by training day and night and working hard on the court. Do you think you can succeed by being playful every day?"
Feng Lai blushed, "I really don't have fun every day."
Xue Liancheng: "You didn't grit your teeth and train hard."
Feng Lei was speechless immediately, "This..."
Xue Liancheng continued, "Also...if you think I feel good, then you should go online and read the news. Do you still feel good in the face of overwhelming abuse and criticism?"
Feng Lai opened his mouth and was speechless: "..."
In fact, now NBA players...not just NBA players, but any athlete with some fame, who doesn't run their own social media accounts online!
All kinds of teasing, posting photos, pretending to be aggressive, and picking up girls, just like showing yourself in the circle of friends.
Feng Lai naturally surfed the Internet every day, but he failed to personally feel the pressure Xue Liancheng was under.
Now when he heard what Xue Liancheng said, he was instantly in awe.
Especially after Xue Liancheng made remarks about destroying LeBron, it was an indiscriminate bombing. Fans, media, retired stars, and even some outside celebrities all mocked Xue Liancheng as crazy.
If he faced an attack of this level, he would probably collapse within three days.
Xue Liancheng took a deep breath and solemnly warned again, "So, you can withstand as much praise as you can withstand the slander. If you want to succeed, you first need a strong heart."
Feng Lai responded, "I know."
Xue Liancheng: "I hope you really know."
Feng Lai raised his head and was speechless for a moment.
Xue Liancheng patted Feng Lai on the shoulder, said nothing more, and returned to his queue.
after all.
There's no point in talking more. Feng Lai can't withstand the pressure and can't stand firm. Nothing he says is of any use.
The game starts soon.
In this game, Bosh finally returned.
If I don’t come back, it will really be the same without you, and that would be too embarrassing.
jump ball.
In the end, Bosh was superior.
After Xue Liancheng pushed past half-court, he was not in a hurry to attack on his own, but wanted to cooperate with Uncle Wei.
result.
Bosh reached for the ball directly.
In this case, Xue Liancheng had no choice but to give it up. After all, Bosh was the second in charge and had just returned from injury and needed to regain his ball sense.
But let's be honest.
This way of standing singles directly disrupted the rhythm of his game and made him feel at a loss.
He can only pick up his old job and run along the three-point line.
And the most terrible thing is that he knew that it was impossible for Bosh to hand over the ball in this round, but he had to toss back and forth.
Unsurprisingly.
Bo Erye turned around in the face of O'Quinn, but he didn't turn around for a reason, and finally made a turnaround jumper.
铁！
After Oladipo grabbed the rebound, he immediately started a fast break.
Bitter Mamba is also very fast and has a good rhythm.
But when laying up, I don't know if it's because of my lack of confrontation ability, I always feel short of breath.
Didn't go in either.
But Harris followed up with a tip-in.
Look back.
Xue Liancheng had just pushed past half-court, and Bo Erye squeezed O'Quinn's position again. When he saw Xue Liancheng coming, he immediately reached for the ball again.
Xue Liancheng: "..."
Very speechless.
But in order for Mr. Bo to find his condition as soon as possible, he still pushed through.
Second Master Bo directly forced himself on him, without even using any feints.
Halfway through, he turned over and shot again.
Still iron!
Magic offense.
Harris broke through and stepped up and down to pick the basket.
Hit again.
Xue Liancheng advanced with the ball, thinking, this round, Mr. Bo won't be so shameless as to ask for it again, right?
After all, they haven't scored in both rounds, and the Heat haven't opened the game yet.
result.
He had far underestimated Mr. Bo.
This time.
Mr. Bo went directly to the 45-degree angle, locked the position, and reached out for the ball again.
Mudd!
Is there no tactics at all now?
Just do it alone?
He really didn't want to give it, but he had to give it.
Bosh is the second in charge, just returned from injury, what's the matter with two balls in singles?
Very reasonable!
The team boss, Uncle Wei, didn't say anything. What could he say?
Give it again.
Go to the other side, almost side by side with Luol Deng.
At this time, Luo Er Deng stood there with his legs propped up and his butt stuck out, his face a little gloomy, staring straight at Mr. Bo on the other side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xue Liancheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately wanted to understand why Bo Erye continued to ask for the ball to play singles.
Because during the period when Bo Er was away, Luol Deng played well, and the level of performance can already vaguely reflect the All-Star style of the year.
The functions of the two are similar, and there is a certain overlap in their positions, so Bo Erye urgently needs to prove himself in order to stabilize his core position.
This can also explain why Mr. Bo repeatedly gets stuck and wants the ball.
It can also explain why Luol Deng has a black face.
Because this job was done by him before.
Want to understand why.
Xue Liancheng couldn't laugh or cry. The competition within the Heat team is really fierce...
This time.
Bo Erye used the breakthrough to enter the penalty area and ended the attack with a small throw.
Finally there is.
Magic team here.
Oladipo and Vucevic pick and roll, break through and then pass back.
So does Vucevic in the high position.
Look back.
Xue Liancheng advanced with the ball. This time he believed that Mr. Bo would not ask for it again. After all, if he asked for four in a row, Spoelstra would probably have to jump on the sidelines.
As expected.
Mr. Bo chose to rest on the other side.
And when Xue Liancheng was about to initiate a pick-and-roll, it was Luol Deng's turn to reach out.
I'm crazy...
It's endless, right?
But in recent games, Luol Deng has been in good shape.
and so.
After only a slight hesitation, he gave it.
Luol Deng didn't know if he was infected by Mr. Bo, but he also hit the first ball.
Xue Liancheng: "..."
He doesn't know how to describe his current mood.
Subconsciously glanced at Uncle Wei.
I found that Uncle Wei was like a normal person, running from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, and then from the bottom corner to the top of the arc. He was enjoying it without any signs of being angry at all.
Ah……
Running in vain.
Did you really think he was holding the ball?Can seize the opportunity to pass the ball to every teammate who has the opportunity?
Bo Erye and Luol Deng want to hold the ball in their hands, no... they should have the ball welded to death in their hands. How can they pass the ball to you?
of course.
The most important thing is that there is no such ability and awareness.
Off-site attack and defense.
Oladipo rushed in and made a mid-range jumper.
There are also.
After Sean Williams served, Xue Liancheng didn't even bother to take it and gave it directly to Uncle Wei.
Since we all want to watch a show, it’s better to just go ahead and run over to watch the show.
result.
In this round, Bo Erye and Luol Deng seemed to be blocked and did not reach for the ball at all.
Wade thrust.
Encountered obstacles.
Return pass to Sean Williams.
Sean Williams didn't have a good chance and gave the ball to Xue Liancheng again.
Xue Liancheng had just secured the ball and had not yet resorted to bulldozing.
Mr. Bo and Luol Deng are here again.
Both hands reach out for the ball...
this moment.
His brain was buzzing.
This is so...
He felt like he was being bullied...
Uncle Wei was holding the ball, and neither of them dared to let go.
Okay...
As soon as he got the ball, they both asked for it in unison.
Knew it!
He has little experience and is young. Even if the coach gives him a tactical position, there are still many veterans who don't take him seriously. This small move can cause great harm.
this time.
He doesn't give face to anyone. Since you don't take me seriously, I won't abandon you.
Just ignore them both.
Hold Peyton up and fight straight in.
There is no need for too flashy steps, just fly to pick up the basket after impact.
Also hit!
Next.
Bo Erye and Luol Deng are no longer insistent on asking for the ball.
But these two guys seemed to be on a collision course with him. They stopped moving and were unwilling to even move.
Mr. Bo was a little better, at least taking two steps along the three-point line.
Luo Erden was really holding his knees, sticking his butt out, and was welded to death in place.
I'm a stinky hello!
You two are secretly competing with each other, and you actually use him to make yourself angry, and this is what happened...
It's simply unbearable.
But without two people running, without cover and cooperation, his passing power was suddenly greatly reduced.
In addition, the Magic are keenly aware of this, and they double-team him firmly and thoroughly.
This resulted in the Heat's offense being sluggish and failing to score. Halfway through the first quarter, they actually trailed the Magic, a team full of fish, by a full 13 points at 23:10.
Spoelstra on the sidelines also quickly discovered the problem.
During the timeout, he directly named Luol Deng and asked, "Lol, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
Luo Er Deng Ming shook his head repeatedly, "No!"
Sibo then turned his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a stern face, "I need you all to move. Listen clearly. If anyone doesn't want to move, they will get off the field and rest."
Obviously.
He was very angry at being taught by a team that was a loser.
But the effect is basically nonexistent.
Luol Deng was still looking dead. He actually moved, but he just kept wandering outside the line.
And if the ball falls into his hands, basically don't count on it.
Mr. Bo did not make too much concessions. He blocked the pick-and-roll and followed the same rules, but that was to get the ball better.
Once the ball is in hand, it is no longer passed out, but is thrown immediately.
Both of them can be called black holes in possession of the ball.
The rivalry in secret has risen to an open rivalry. Even a blind person can see that there is a huge problem in the mentality of the two.
Even when Wade sometimes asks for the ball, they are reluctant to give it.
Xue Liancheng had already vaguely felt that if this continued, his chest might explode.
The trigger for everything was Mr. Bo's comeback.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand.
During this period of time, Bo Erye was away, and Loel Deng played very well. Whether it is efficiency, scoring, or even rebounding, he has returned to the peak level, averaging nearly 19+7 data per game, plus the team has been winning. , Luol Deng played an important role and became the new core fulcrum.
Let me ask, who can remain calm in this situation?
You didn't perform well before and didn't have much possession of the ball. What was the reason?
Even a fool can imagine it.
Luol Deng is also a smart man. He finally came to his senses and realized that it was because he and Bosh had the same position and the same functionality that they were unable to perform.
At this moment.
His mind is no longer on winning.
He felt that he had to stand up and fight for his own interests, improve his tactical status, and ask for more ball rights to show his attitude.
That's right!
He is Chi Guoguo who wants to challenge Mr. Bo’s position.
And Bosh obviously felt a sense of crisis, so he couldn't wait to come back.
As soon as he came back, he asked Xue Liancheng for the ball.
Playing consecutive singles is to demonstrate your authority.
At this time, Luol Deng slowly showed signs of provocation. How could Mr. Bo endure it?
During the Raptors period, he was the star, a powerful player, entered the best second team, a regular in the All-Stars, ranked in the top ten at his peak, and won two championships as the third player in the Heat. He is the Heat's Meritorious service.
You, Luol Deng, have nothing. You have never even been a real leader. You are just an ordinary All-Star. You just joined the Heat this year.
But want to replace him?
Bosh's anger can be imagined.
Of course, return the favor.
This has made the situation on the field become what it is now, and it is out of control.
Another round.
Heat offense.
After Xue Liancheng broke through, he failed to find a chance.
He took it out again.
Just wanted to reorganize.
Luol Deng said, "Give me the ball."
Xue Liancheng: "..."
The team is already like this, why are you still coming?
He pretended not to hear it and tried to use Luol Deng as a human wall to get around.
result.
totally unexpected……
This guy actually stole the ball...
That's right!
Luol Deng reached out and snatched the ball away from him.
Without any precautions.
It was really caught by Luoer Deng, but because Luoer Deng was too tall, the center of gravity did not drop, and he was not stable.
The ball was snatched away by Payton.
Xue Liancheng was stunned.
He even steals the ball from his teammates, which is outrageous and even more insane.
What's even more outrageous is that before Luol Deng was sure of it, the Magic completed a real steal.
The on-site commentators were confused, "What is going on? Is it a mistake in cooperation? Or...internal strife?"
