This Forward is Not Serious

Miami.

Anthony is not happy.

This emotion has been there since Lin Ying came to the east.

For lingering nightmares, even going to bed with a psychiatrist for treatment is useless.

So what he is doing now is to numb himself with alcohol.

Fortunately, he now has a drinking buddy.

Ty Lawson.

This potential guard who should have gone to the Nuggets in history came to the Heat in that year's draft.

He successively played as a substitute for Baron Davis, Billups and Augustin in the Heat.

This season he finally came through and became the Heat's starting point guard.

As his status increased, so did the connections between him and Anthony.

Finally, after a dinner party this summer, they became drinking buddies.

If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.

But Anthony is obviously not very proud now.

Losing the Olympics is enough to make people angry, but now they have to play the Nets in the opening game.

The Heat didn't beat the Nets last season, but he doesn't think the Heat are the Nets' opponent this season.

It's not that anyone is self-aware, but...it's true that he is afraid of being beaten.

You can't win in the woods.

"I think Melo you have done a good job, but the basketball game is a sport for five people. Sometimes winning or losing is more about the team than the individual, so just do your best."

Lawson said as he picked up the wine bottle, took two big sips, and then smashed it onto the table, which was quite a bit like the boldness in "Water Margin".

Anthony smiled and shook his head.

He still has ambitions.

He still wants to win and want a championship.

His current mentality is actually a bit like Barkley. If he was given the helpers of James or Lin Ying, he would definitely be able to do the same or even better.

Lawson did not continue to persuade.

You know, it's harder to persuade someone to change their mind than to beat someone up.

So he changed his story.

"We have a chance, that guy Sloan is an old background guy."

Lawson said as he poured another mouthful into his mouth.

The wine is so delicious!

"The ships of the new era can no longer carry the remnants of the old era."

Anthony said as he clinked the glass with Lawson's bottle.

He and the Jazz could be said to be old rivals when he was in the Nuggets. Sloan's old stubbornness should have been eliminated by the times long ago!

This time, maybe it can really change his and Lin Ying's "position".

…

The Nets' opening game is on the road.

On the plane to Miami, some of the team members were full of confidence, while the rest were eager to try.

The veteran players of the team are full of confidence. In their eyes, the Heat are the old unlucky ones.

Last year they had Howard hanging around and beating him. Now that Howard is gone, wouldn't it be easier?

This year's new players are eager to try. The preseason is just a foreplay before the regular season officially enters.

Things like rotation will also surface in the first game.

Of course there is one exception.

"I kind of can't wait."

Delong is full of confidence and eager to try.

He didn't have a good time in the preseason, so he really wanted to do something big right away.

"The Heat's combat effectiveness should be stronger than last season. We cannot underestimate our opponents."

Lin Ying poured cold water on it.

It's not that he is ambitious, but that he knows Anthony well enough.

There are really not many stars suitable for Anthony to partner with. Billups was one before, but James proved to be one in this year's Olympics.

For other things, it's really not as good as pairing him with a bunch of good role players.

"Yes, you can't underestimate your opponent and you can't relax!"

Delong immediately looked serious.

Because of the ESPN rankings, there are now a lot of people outside waiting to see the Nets' jokes.

If they lose the opening game, there will be a lot of pressure from public opinion.

So we must not take it lightly, and we must go all out.

He nodded again in confirmation.

If you can win one more point, you will definitely win one point less!

…

American Airlines Arena was packed.

Looking at the packed scene, Anthony was inexplicably moved.

I thought that Howard's departure would reduce fans' support for the Heat, but now it seems that is not the case at all!

He is the one who truly loves this city!

He is here, so Heat fans are here!

Tonight, he will definitely try his best to defeat the Nets for his fans!

…

"He seems like a clown."

In the stands, some fans were commenting on Chris Anderson.

The exaggerated hairstyle and the tattoos that spread to almost every inch of his skin looked inexplicably funny.

"They're all clowns."

The fans on the side echoed.

They are not here simply to support the home team.

Even they are not exceptions.

Quite a few fans who came to the arena to watch the game tonight came to watch the Nets make a fool of themselves!

On the court, players from both teams began to warm up.

Anthony's condition seems to be quite good, basically he can shoot whatever he wants.

This time, their expectations were raised even higher.

…

After the warm-up, the starters for both teams were announced one after another.

Heat: Lawson, Caron Butler, Batum, Anthony, McGee.

Nets: Deron, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler.

When the whistle sounded on the sidelines, McGee jumped high and moved the ball back to half court, giving the Heat the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Anthony's desire was high at the beginning. He caught the ball and hit Yi Jianlian in the frame. He changed direction and passed Yi Jianlian for a pull-up jumper.

"Uh-huh!"

Basketball hollow bag.

It feels good in hand.

"Uh-huh!"

But before their cheers could stop, Deron advanced to the frontcourt and immediately made a jump shot after picking and rolling with Yi Jianlian!

Anthony continues to catch the ball in the frontcourt for singles.

This time, Yi Jianlian's defense was tighter. Anthony turned around and did not completely get rid of it, and made a difficult fade away shot.

"Uh-huh!"

Anthony hits the opener!

This moment attracted cheers from the fans at the scene. Anthony was indeed in great shape today!

Opportunity, opportunity to see the Nets make a fool of themselves!

In the Nets' offense, Deron gave the ball to Lin Ying this time.

However, Lin Ying did not attack, but passed the ball directly after Deron cut in.

Deron faced Anthony with the ball and made a dragging throw in the direction of the ball.

Anthony obviously couldn't keep up.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball is hollow and falls into the bag!

Deron also scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

The live footage showed the Nets bench at once.

Deron, Sloan, this is the Brooklyn Jazz!

And just in the next round, there was a detailed change on the field.

Anthony, who was originally defending with Yi Jian, was now guarded by Lin Ying!

The team boss blocked the bullet hole, and Kobe liked it like crazy.

Anthony continues to ask for the ball.

His confidence in hitting consecutive hits in the opening game was greatly increased, and now he no longer had to face the nightmare of Lin Ying.

Facing the frame, three-threat sweep, change of direction breakthrough, emergency stop and step-back jumper, all technical actions are completed in one go.

only……

Hey, didn't you move away?

Lin Ying defended very hard, not caring about the physical exertion.

Anthony was almost blocked when he took action, and he was forced to raise his back and raise the arc.

"Dang!"

The basketball hit the basket and came out!

What is dpoy!

Chandler blocked McGee and steadily collected the defensive rebound.

The Nets turned around and played quickly. During the fast break, Deron gave the ball to Johnson who was following up. Johnson jumped up with a slight jump and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.

After losing weight, Johnson has obviously become more flexible!

6 to 4.

The Nets overtook the score!

Anthony, squatting in the corner.

It was just a hot topic in my head just now, don’t take it too seriously.

Lawson and McGee's pick-and-roll offense.

Lawson is very fast and has good passing vision. He rushes inside and throws the ball into the air.

Mikey jumped up, and the height of his jump was almost as high as the frame.

Olajuwon lives up to his name from the neck down!

"Snapped!"

However, the imaginary alley ball did not appear. Chandler turned around and shot the ball directly in the air!

He's not that easy to get rid of!

There was a scramble for the ball on the floor, and finally Lin Ying was stunned and snatched the ball from Batum's arms.

The Nets had another burst of fast breaks, and Johnson once again scored points quickly.

8 to 4!

The original cheers at the scene gradually became sparse.

This momentum is wrong!

The Heat started well, but the Nets seemed to take the lead easily!

It feels like I cast a skill first, but you hit the A twice and put me at a disadvantage.

Some sharp-eyed fans even discovered an even scarier thing, Lin Ying hasn't taken action yet!

Lin Ying's performance from the beginning to the present is that he passed a ball to Deron, guarded Anthony, grabbed a ball on the floor, and then it was gone.

The team boss didn't take any action, but the Nets suppressed the Heat!

"Dang!"

Batum's step-back jump shot missed.

Regarding the Blazers letting Batum go, it's not that the Blazers want to rebuild again, but that the Heat's price is too high.

Batum's rookie contract has just ended, and his salary of 52 million in four years is close to the maximum salary.

Although Batum is versatile, he is more like a puzzle player.

Fortunately, the Heat retreated very quickly this time and did not allow the Nets to start a fast break again.

Then, the Nets still played UCLA's pick-and-roll, with the fourth and fifth positions changed!

Yi Jianlian continuously provided pick-and-rolls for Delong and Lin Ying.

This time Lin Ying didn't pass the ball and used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to break through to the free throw line.

But just when the Heat thought Lin Ying was finally going to attack, he threw a pass to the left three-point line.

Deron just ran the tactics and got there.

Now receiving a pass from Lin Ying, he raised his hand and shot without hesitation.

"Uh-huh!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of entering the network.

Deron scored a three-pointer!

He brought a scope with him tonight!

The camera at the scene once again focused on Sloan on the Nets bench.

There was still no emotional change on Sloan's face.

11 to 4!

The Nets widened the point difference to 7 points!

Lin Ying sent out 2 assists, but still failed to score a point!

Judging from the starting lineup, the Nets are exactly the same as last season, but from the effect point of view, they seem to have changed a team!

This perfectly illustrates the truth that the same high-quality ingredients can taste very different when cooked by different chefs!

And after a few more rounds, something even more extreme happened.

Sloan actually started to change people!

Enter Brand, Jimmy Butler, and Billups, replacing Yi Jianlian, Johnson, and Deron!

This is less than 6 minutes!

You came too early this time!

Spoelstra got up at this time and went to the sidelines to remind the players loudly.

Premature substitutions may not be a good thing. Taking advantage of the Nets' unconventional substitutions, the Heat just caught up with the score!

Anthony's breakthrough caused Brand to foul.

Spoelst's reaction was as quick as before.

It does take time for players to adapt to the game.

Anthony made two free throws and he scored all 6 points of the Heat.

He was in really good shape tonight.

Lin Ying broke through to the free throw line after a pick-and-roll.

Just when everyone thought he was going to pass the ball again, he made an emergency stop and stopped Anthony in place.

"Uh-huh!"

He is also open!

Spoelstra admits he's a bit at a loss for what to do.

Because he suddenly discovered that it was just a simple UCLA pick-and-roll, and the Nets were stunned!

It feels like a man who has been using his hands all the time, and suddenly one day he has a girlfriend, and he can really do it in any position!

And when they returned to the defensive end, the people replaced by the Nets adapted to the game, and Jimmy Butler intercepted Lawson's pass with a beautiful assist defense!

In this wave of substitutions, the Nets' offensive ability has declined slightly, but their defensive ability has improved significantly!

Thanks to Caron Butler's quick reaction and direct foul, otherwise the Nets would start another wave of fast breaks.

At this moment, Lin Ying turned his head and looked at Sloan.

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Good guy, Kirilenko replaces Lin Ying!

Of the Nets' five starters, only Chandler was left on the court!

Heat players felt they were being underestimated.

"Uh-huh!"

Then Billups assisted Brand to hit a mid-range hit.

In fact, Sloan has no intention of angering the Heat. If you want to expand the rotation, early rotation is an inevitable condition.

The way to really provoke is to play five ups and five downs, just like when the Chinese men's basketball team played a men's basketball team that had a good life in their childhood.

But obviously, Sloan didn't.

Lawson finally shook off Brand's jumper and succeeded.

As Brand gets older, he obviously suffers a bit from playing the fourth position.

But looking back, Kirilenko threw the ball directly over the basket from outside the three-point line.

This is part of the pick-and-roll game.

After consecutive pick-and-rolls for Butler and Billups, Chandler cut to the basket from close range.

McGee's defense was a little distracted, just for a moment, but Kirilenko caught it.

"Bang!"

Chandler uproots the weeping willow tree!

The huge impact made the basket tremble!

The Nets bench was in a frenzy.

Lin Ying was the first to stand up and cheer and applaud Chandler.

Although the reference to the preseason games is not significant, it is definitely meaningful.

Like the Lakers' new F4 in history, not winning a game in the preseason actually indicates a lot of things.

The Nets are undefeated in this game, and Lin Ying, as the core of the team, can certainly feel the change.

Especially in the last game against the Eagles, both teams were really playing, and it was said to be a normal rotation, but the game was over in three quarters!

That has actually changed the mentality of the entire Nets team.

It’s not that they can possibly do it, they really can!

If I have to make an analogy, he feels very much like Curry in the 2021~2022 season before he time traveled.

Most of the teammates are still the same teammates, but with the addition of some high-quality role players, and the state is adjusted well, it will be a brand new team.

It's so new that he can sit on the sidelines and be a cheerleader.

Regarding the course "Lie and Win", he had to hurry up and study!
