The joining of Boozer and Wade greatly increased the Heat's strength.

In the team training, Boozer can carry people inside and can also pull out the mid-range shot, which makes Haslem, who defends him, very unaccustomed.

Wade's breakthrough ability surprised Qin Xiong.

This guy is like a small tank, ordinary people can't stop it at all, and the impact is fierce.

What surprised Qin Xiong was still to come.

On October 11, the preseason kicked off and the Heat challenged Mosaic away.

After the NBA's three-point line was shortened to 6.75 meters, Dayao, a center who is heavy and slow but has a strong inside line, is the biggest beneficiary.

The defensive range is reduced!

Qin Xiong thought it would be more troublesome to play Mosaic, because he did not plan to hang up in this game, and wanted to see the real performance of Wade and Boozer.

In this preseason game, Qin Xiong only played for a dozen minutes before slipping away, leaving Wade and Boozer on the court to see how good they are.

The result... the effect made Qin Xiong quite satisfied.

The cooperation of Boozer and Wade made Mosaic suffer.

When Wade holds the ball, Boozer pulls out to screen, Yao can't keep up, Boozer has a mid-range shot; if you want to follow it out, Wade passes Yao by one step with super fast speed.

dilemma!

After several preseason games, with Qin Xiong not playing much time, the Heat achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses and performed well.

The Heat’s performance in the preseason last season was mediocre. Riley’s temporary resignation as head coach caused the media to not be optimistic about the Heat. As a result, the Heat not only broke the regular season record created by the Bulls, but also broke the Lakers’ winning streak in ancient times.

In the playoffs, he won the championship in one go.

Whether Riley regrets it or not is unknown. Anyway, the fledgling Van Gundy picked up a big deal and became a champion coach as soon as he debuted. He was so lucky that no one could beat him.

The Heat performed well in the preseason this season, and the US media directly ranked the Heat first.

There have not been many changes in other teams this season, and reinforcements are also limited. The Heat that has been added to the lineup is absolutely unpleasant.

On November 3, the regular season officially started.

The opening game consisted of Heat vs. Pacers, Mavericks vs. Kings, and Lakers vs. Nuggets.

The opening battle between the Heat and the Pacers is the first round of focus battles.

The Pacers and Heat have a lot to watch, and the league and various media are promoting it.

The Pacers were second in the Eastern Conference last season. They lost when they competed with the Heat for a seat in the Finals. This season, the Pacers who have the league's first center want to break through the ceiling of the Eastern Conference Finals and must defeat the Heat. This is one of them.

Secondly, O'Fang is also a defeated by the Heat. If the Sharks still want to enter the finals after the Sharks travel east, the Heat must be overcome.

Two key factors are superimposed together, and the battle in the American Airlines Arena is given various meanings.

"Shaq moved to Indiana, and the Pacers have been greatly strengthened. Regarding the game that took place at the American Airlines Arena... Sir Charles, what do you want to say to the audience in front of the TV?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Kenny Smith, who was responsible for explaining the focus of the battle, asked Barkley.

"Humph!"

Barkley snorted twice: "When Shaq was with the Lakers with Kobe, Payton and Malone's help, he couldn't handle Jack. It is absolutely terrible to come to the East now. Many fans may never see Shaq appear in the finals. The figure is..."

"Are you so disrespectful of the Pacers?" Smith cried out strangely. "You can't belittle Shaq just because you fought with Shaq?"

Barkley smiled meaningfully, kidding! His great Sir Charles was the winner, and O'Fang was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.

What is he doing to belittle Shaq?

"Although Shaq's eastward tour has strengthened the Pacers, the Heat have also been strengthened. Their second and fourth positions have changed obviously... The most important thing is that Jack is still in Miami, which is why I am not optimistic about the Pacers. the reason!"

Smith was speechless.

In fact, Barkley's previous series of remarks are nonsense, and the last sentence is what he said.

As long as Super Jack is still in Miami, who can handle the Heat?

Unless you form an all-star team!

Both TNT commentators are not optimistic about the Pacers.

Although the league has introduced new rules for Super Jack, the new rules are not so much to restrict Super Jack as it is to release the offensive power of other players.

As soon as the new rules are introduced, the dominance of inside players has risen sharply, and the three-pointer ability of outside players will also be greatly enhanced.

After all, the league’s farthest three-point line this season is only 6.75 meters, which is exactly 0.5 meters shorter than last season.

0.5 meters!

It is conceivable that how many superstars in the league will have a significant increase in scoring data this season! ! !

American Airlines Arena.

Qin Xiong walked halftime with a smile and greeted the Pacers.

Everyone is old acquaintance.

Before that, Qin Xiong planned to do his best as a landlord, asking the Pacers to have a meal and contact them, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.

In Miller's words: "If you don't beat the Heat, I won't shave a day!"

Listen, this tone!

What a firm belief!

Qin Xiong feels ashamed. But if Miller doesn't shave, he will be playing with a white beard this season. At that time, who would care about an old man with a white beard?

...

With the referee's whistle, the first game of the regular season of the new season began!

Both sides start:

Home team: Qin Xiong, Wade, Caron Butler, Carlos Boozer, Grant

Away team: Jamal Tinsley, Miller, Stephen Jackson, Artest, O'Neal

O'Fang has been a few months old~lightnovelpub.net~ The figure seems to be a little slenderer than last season. Perhaps the Heat swept him in the finals...Qin Xiong muttered to himself.

Even if O'Pan is a few months old, his dominance is not bad at all.

When he jumped the ball, he easily defeated Grant and assigned the ball to Miller.

Miller held the ball for halftime.

The three-point line has been shortened by a lot this season, the three-point line is full of people, and the squeaking noise of the friction between the shoes and the floor is very harsh.

Miller is 40 years old and is no longer the Pacers' main attack firepower.

Holding the ball to the top of the arc, Miller waved the ball to Artest.

Artest was the Pacers' second scorer last season, the team's second only to O'Neal's scoring point. Although O'Neal is gone now and O'Neal is here, his position is still stable.

Holding the ball and glanced at the surrounding environment, Artest decided to pass the ball.

The Heat's defensive forces are basically concentrated within the three-point line, in this case it is not sensible to force a breakthrough.

The ball came to O'Neal.

As soon as O'Fang got the ball, Grant immediately defended, and Boozer came up from the wing. As long as O'Fang forced a layup, the two were ready to encircle.

O'Neal did not force it, Boozer's position was observed by him.

Boozer stepped forward to help defend, but Artest was empty, and O'Fan returned decisively.

Artest raised his hand and hit.

2:0, the Pacers took the lead.
