Chapter 1517 1516. The Five Civilians Appear! (There Are Ten Leaders Now, Please Vote for Me!)
Previously, due to Wade's personal request and Wade's serious injury, the Hawks have not held a joining ceremony for Wade.
At nearly noon on December 22, after the Hawks coaching staff finished preparing tactics for the Heat game in the evening, they held a joining ceremony for Wade on the day they faced Wade's old team at home.
It was just right. O'Neal had just been suspended and when Wade needed to come back, the opponent happened to be Wade's old club.
After Price and Coach Kruger said a lot of welcome words and hopes for Wade's comeback, Jason Terry, the team's oldest player, handed the No. 13 jersey to Wade.
Jason Terry is in his ninth year with the Hawks and has been with the Hawks since he entered the NBA.
Because he was on the bench for six or seven years compared to the original time and space, Jason Terry has become a representative player of "sacrifice". Many people think that Jason Terry went to the bench to make way for Liu Mang.
The management of the Eagles also wants to create a representative of "one person, one city". The purpose is naturally to make Liu Mang feel more attached to the Eagles.
The last Eagles player with All-Star or near-All-Star ability who never left the team for his entire career was Bob Pettit in the 1950s, and there has never been another player since.
Therefore, no matter how other powerful players and potential players were traded or replaced, Jason Terry was not initially included in the trade options. Only when he was forced to increase the amount when trading Garnett, Jason Terry was As a result, the Timberwolves were unwilling to accept the trade even though the Hawks were willing to send two young players with All-Star potential plus Jason Terry, Rasheed Wallace and draft picks. Jason Terry He has become the Eagles' most stable player besides Liu Mang.
They are all substitutes anyway, who is more suitable to be a substitute than Jason Terry?
Apart from Odom and Ginobili, I really can't find them.
Gradually, Jason Terry, the team's oldest player, began to develop in the direction of the team leader.
The team leader is Jason Terry, the locker room leaders are Grant Hill and Finley, the three tactical cores of Rondo, Tracy McGrady, and Brad Miller, and Liu Mang, the team's scoring leader + assist leader and Leaders don't have a dime to relate to...The Eagles' team structure has always been weird.
After Wade took over the jersey, the boss and head coach sat aside, and the next step was Wade's interview.
Wade's joining ceremony is considered a very important event for the Hawks. Liu Mang, McGrady and others also came.
In the past period of time, because the news of Wade's comeback has been circulating for less than half a month, Liu Mang's stunning GIF picture also sparked heated discussions about Wade's comeback. Now that Wade is really going to come back, it has attracted a lot of people focus on.
However, the reporter also had the same doubts as Liu Mang and asked: "Dwyane, why did you choose No. 13? This is not a good number."
"Because 5+8 equals 13, Ace gave Chris the nickname Mr. No. 58. I could only use the number 13. Originally, I wanted to choose No. 58." Wade said and looked at the man sitting next to him. Liu Mang.
"Uh..." Liu Mang didn't expect Wade to say this, and replied with pain in his balls: "Dwyane, as long as you like it."
Liu Mang's current inner OS is: "I have thought about so many reasons, how many tragic emotions, how many struggles against fate, and used 13, a number regarded as unknown by people in European and American culture, to remember the aftermath of the injury. What happened to this guy, who said it was the reason for this weird thing? But the relationship between the five Banana Boat brothers is really good..."
Wade was obviously using Liu Mang's nickname for Paul to change the subject. Judging from his expression and tone of voice, it was obviously nonsense, and not many people really believed it.
"Coach Kruger, what will be Wade's role after his comeback? Will he replace Rondo in the starting lineup?"
The second reporter who asked the question asked something less friendly. At first glance, it turned out to be a reporter sent by the Miami Daily.
Before Coach Kruger could answer, Wade answered first: "I will start from the bench. Our team is the strongest basketball team in the world. You need to fight for your own playing time. Jason, be careful, I will take it away from you." The honor of the strongest sixth man.”
Wade said and looked at Jason Terry.
Jason Terry is not afraid: "The jersey number of the best sixth man in the world will always be composed of 1 and 3. Come on, Dwyane."
Seeing the Miami reporters retreat angrily after failing to stir up trouble, Liu Mang was surprised: "Are all reporters in Florida with such long heads? O'Neal before, McGrady before, Wade now, and maybe some in the future. Howard... do they really like to offend all the stars of their own team or those who were their own team? "
…
…
Pat Riley watched Wade on the opposite side leap high into the air, hang his hands on the basket, and do a pull-up. After watching Wade land, Jason Terry pushed Wade in disgust. Kai, desperately trying to do a one-handed pull-up, Wade was not to be outdone and waited for Jason Terry to fall down, and then also did a one-handed pull-up...
"You're back to health now? You're playing like this and the bald coach doesn't care? Are you really healthy? It's impossible, the cruciate ligament is torn! There's no meniscus!" Pat Riley was surprised that Wade had just returned from a serious injury. I dare to play like this when I come back.
Mainly because the Hawks stated during Wade's joining ceremony that Wade had fully recovered.
If Wade recovers to 60% of his strength, Pat Riley thinks it will be a win, because they got Prince, Korver and potential center Millsap.
If Wade recovers to 70% of his strength, the Heat will not lose, but if Wade recovers to more than 80% of his strength, the Heat will definitely lose.
Although Prince is a first-line defender, Korver is also a three-point shooter with a hit rate of more than 40% and can hit almost two three-pointers per game, and Millsap looks like a potential player who may become an All-Star fringe player in the future, but Wade with 80% of his strength in the 05-06 season is a real All-Star, which cannot be exchanged for these three players.
An All-Star like Wade who has been unshakable since the second year is the top player who occupies an All-Star seat. With 80% of his peak strength, he is still at the All-Star level.
Prince and Korver will definitely not reach the All-Star level, and Millsap only has the potential to be selected as an All-Star once.
Don't underestimate players who have only been selected for the All-Star Game once. There are only 24 All-Stars each year, and there are about ten All-Stars every year. Some teams have several All-Stars, which means that almost half of the teams have no All-Stars every season.
In the era of the four major centers, even Olajuwon could not make the All-Star Game at the age of 28 at his peak.
Wade returned, and American cable TV broadcast the game between the Hawks and the Heat at home.
Many Heat fans also came to the scene.
Wade will return in late December. This matter was guessed by many media when Wade began to participate in confrontational tactical training. Therefore, fans in Miami started buying pre-sale tickets for today's game between the Hawks and the Heat at home.
Miami fans have always been not very loyal to the Heat. Now Miami fans have two attitudes towards Wade's return, one is support and the other is to watch the show.
Most Miami fans still hope that Wade will perform well. Some are die-hard fans who know Wade, and some want to see Pat Riley make a fool of himself. As long as Wade plays well, Pat Riley will definitely make a fool of himself.
Of course, there are also many fans who don't want Wade to play well again, but just want to watch the fun.
Wade has played in Miami for more than three seasons, and has also experienced the sadness of the home fans walking out before being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals. He has long been accustomed to the "enthusiasm" of Miami fans. When he heard some boos when entering the stadium, Wade didn't take it to heart and had a lot of fun with Jason Terry.
When it was almost six o'clock, Wade returned to the bench, Rondo was taking off his training clothes, and the game was about to start. Rondo asked Wade: "DW13, are you really not going to start today? I can sit down."
Wade shook his head and replied: "I have nothing to prove to them, I will fight for the starting position myself."
Rondo was originally cold, and didn't say anything else. He threw his training clothes to the staff and walked to the technical table to apply magnesium powder.
After Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, most of the fans cheered and some Miami fans booed.
The Hawks still had Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown as the starting lineup.
The Heat had Jason Williams, Korver, Ricky Davis, Millsap, and Stoudemire as the starting lineup.
Liu Mang looked at the ability evaluation and data of the Heat's starting players. Except for Stoudemire, Millsap, and Korver, the others were really not worth looking at.
Just looking at the names, the Heat's starting lineup was quite impressive, but Jason Williams was on the verge of retirement, his ability evaluation dropped to 68, his shooting percentage this season was only 38.4%, and his assists dropped to a career-low average of 4.6 per game.
Korver, with an ability rating of 78, only has running, three-pointers and assist defense, and averaged a career-high 14.4 points per game, including 2.8 three-pointers per game, ranking sixth in the league. This season, only three players averaged at least three three-pointers per game, namely Liu Mang, Peja, and Ray Allen, but there are many players who average 2.5 to 3 three-pointers per game.
In other words, there are still only a few super three-point shooters. To become a super three-point shooter, talent is the most important, but after Liu Mang's influence for several years, there are more and more first-class to top three-point shooters.
Ricky Davis is a player that surprised Liu Mang. He can really do it if given a chance. This season, the Heat did not have a strong outside line, and he became the outside core. The ability rating of 79 was brought to the extreme, similar to an all-round weakened version of LeBron James or an all-round weakened version of Larry Hughes, averaging 17 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
Millsap, with an ability rating of 78, averaged 11.6 points and 6 rebounds per game. As a sophomore, he was being trained as a key player, and his potential was developed faster than Liu Mang remembered. Of course, it was just faster than he was trained as a substitute in the Jazz. Compared with the potential stocks with obvious talents, it is still far behind.
Stoudemire's ability rating reached the peak of 93. Stoudemire's shortcomings are too obvious. He is a poor passer and has no defense. He is a pure offensive player. This season, he averaged 25.3 points per game with a hit rate of 50.2%, ranking first in the average score among power forwards. His hit rate is the lowest since he partnered with Nash. The average rebounds are only 8.3 per game.
Liu Mang felt uninterested in such an opponent, and was too lazy to run, so he simply shot three-pointers with Korver.
Rondo has lost his temper with Liu Mang's occasional slackness. He has been used to it for more than a year. McGrady also likes to watch Liu Mang compete with his opponents. The Hawks have four stars and one shooter, while Liu Mang is hanging out outside. Rondo, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown rush to grab rebounds...
Facing the Heat, who have only won 5 games in almost two months, Liu Mang played as he pleased.
But on the defensive end, the Hawks did a poor job, scoring too easily, and they were not interested at all.
When the official timeout came in the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 22 to 19, and the Hawks led by three points into the halftime break.
Stoudemire, Korver, and Ricky Davis played very well. Stoudemire dunked two and scored 6 points with a mid-range shot. Korver scored 9 points with 3 of 5 three-pointers. Ricky Davis got 4 assists in half a quarter...
The Hawks didn't play defense, especially McGrady. In such a game, McGrady gave his old teammate a face, allowing him to score more points and see Liu Mang's response.
Liu Mang scored 4 of 6 three-pointers in half a quarter, got 12 points and two rebounds.
The Heat wanted to brush up their data. Pat Riley's task for this group of players was to brush up their data and play badly. Role players with good data are easy to trade; stars like Stoudemire have good data, which may attract stars to join, and they can also play badly to win the two talents in next year's draft.
The Hawks were completely uninterested in this game.
In this case, Coach Kruger had no way to urge the players to be more active. Even he, the head coach, felt that such an opponent was nothing to pay attention to.
Seeing his players still looking relaxed after the opponent scored 19 points in 6 minutes, Coach Kruger patted his head and said, "No, we still have to win. The other coach has given us Dwyane. We have to help them get closer to the first overall pick..."
"Ace, Dwyane, Tres, Sean, Kwame, the five of you go up, you must widen the score gap after the first quarter, otherwise your exclusive tactics will be cancelled!" Coach Kruger was furious.
"Watt?"
The five people who heard the name were scared!
This year, the team has many tactics, but there is only one exclusive tactic for them! Just like more than 50 ethnic groups are all nobles and there is only one commoner, the combination of the five of them is the poor commoner, and the only tactic is going to be deprived?
