NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 514 Countermeasures

"I'm fine!"

O'Neal knew very well that he was trying to show off his strength.

from last season.

O'Neal's average playing time is less than 30 minutes per game.

This season Spoelstra became the team's head coach.

It also further reduced O'Neal's playing time.

However, O'Neal's number of shots has not decreased much.

Even, with the cooperation of tactics.

O'Neal's shooting percentage has also reached over 60%.

Plus free throws.

O'Neal's scoring is even higher than last season.

In this game, O'Neal has played for 15 minutes.

It's just that compared to playing against other teams, O'Neal was more tired.

And Wade's performance in the first quarter was terrible.

This adds to O'Neal's burden.

Spoelstra will ask himself at this time.

It also expresses an attitude.

In the second half, O'Neal probably won't only play three to five minutes.

On the contrary, O'Neal's playing time today will definitely be much higher than the usual 25 minutes.

For O'Neal today.

This is somewhat forced.

The team didn't want to lose to the Bobcats.

O'Neal also hopes to perform well in this game.

But after all, this is just a regular season game.

Not counting this one, the Heat still have 13 regular season games.

Then comes the playoffs.

If O'Neal is injured at this time, it will definitely be worth the loss.

Even if O'Neal can return to the team in time, he is destined to not be able to show 100% of his strength.

For the Heat, this is truly unacceptable.

……

"Believe me!"

"I know my own situation best."

"I won't fall down until I reach my destination!"

O'Neal's tone was full of confidence, but it also sounded like a hero in his twilight years.

Si Bo was hesitant to speak.

It is clear.

This season is O'Neal's last chance.

At the very least, this is his last chance to become the absolute main force of the team.

Next season starts.

O'Neal may not retire immediately.

He may not give up chasing the championship.

But next season O'Neal won't be able to go all out for the championship like he is now.

Spoelstra himself has talked about it with Riley.

O'Neal's current annual salary is 2000 million.

There is such a big contract lock-in.

It is also very difficult for the Heat to further strengthen.

At best, it's just a minor repair.

There is no way to make any big moves.

Wade is 26 years old.

At the peak of his career.

And this peak state can be maintained for many years.

Wade is also one of the few stars in the league who can serve as the core of a team.

If O'Neal's big contract can be cleared.

Especially while O'Neal still has some gas in the tank.

It can also exchange a lot of assets for the team.

It can also gain space for further reinforcement of the team.

In fact, Riley has already wanted to do that this season.

However, O'Neal's dedication to the championship gave Riley hope of achieving results this season.

Wade also clearly doesn't want to waste time in his prime.

This made Riley slow down his plan a little.

However, this summer, Riley will not delay any longer.

Spoelstra knows that.

This season is not just O'Neal's last chance to win the championship as the team's core player.

It's also Riley's last chance before his plan is put into action.

……

The second half of the game begins.

O'Neal and Wade combine inside and outside.

The other players are also very cooperative.

The Heat actually led a 13:2 climax.

The score came to 73:53.

The point difference was widened to 20 points.

O'Neal looked unstoppable.

Heat fans also got excited.

It's just that this is the Bobcats' home court.

The atmosphere throughout Charlotte Coliseum became subdued.

This season can be said to be the most difficult season for the Bobcats.

This is the Bobcats' 4th season.

First season.

When no one is optimistic about the Bobcats.

The Bobcats got off to a good start.

In the first season, they won 62 wins and 20 losses, and also won the championship.

In the second season, Zhou Yao was stabbed 35 times in 13 seconds in Dallas.

Missed 20 games.

However, before that, the Bobcats had already established enough advantages.

The next 20 games were also 10 wins and 10 losses.

After all, they still won the season with 61 wins and 21 losses.

Won 2 consecutive championships at the same time.

In the third season.

The Bobcats can be said to be the return of the king.

69 wins and 13 losses.

At the same time, he created his own dynasty.

He also won Oden and Durant in the draft through a previous wave of tricks.

Almost all Bobcat fans have no doubt that the team they support is working hard to win four consecutive championships.

Since that Celtics team decades ago.

No team has won four consecutive championships.

Even the small bull who looked at all the mountains at first could not do it.

Although, many people are saying it.

If Jordan had not retired, the Bulls would have won four consecutive championships.

However, if you didn’t do it, you didn’t do it.

Today's Bobcats are stronger than ever.

But it was also bad luck.

A wave of injuries has caused the Bobcats, who were originally number one in the league, to have a pitiful 40 wins and 28 losses.

Although the playoff spots have basically been determined.

It's just that it's hard to settle down.

This match against the Heat is seen by many fans as a preview of the playoffs for both teams.

But who would have thought that the game was only half over and the home team was already 20 points behind.

This is not good news.

After that, they will play the Jazz and Lakers away from home.

If you continue to play with the feeling of losing by a big score.

Maybe we will lose those two games too.

By the way, Zhou Yao made only 27 of 3 shots in the last game.

The hit rate is only 11.1%, and the true hit rate is 20.9%.

Is this really the shooting rate that a boss of a strong team should have?

Zhou Yao's touch didn't seem to be very good in this game.

But he resisted the urge to take action.

But the first 7 shots were all irons.

It's not much better.

Zhou Yao is not the only one who feels bad.

Jr. and Durant also misfired in this game.

The team's three major scoring points all failed.

So far in the game, the team has only 53 points.

It looks like the Heat are about to win.

However, this still makes Bobcat fans feel uneasy.

It feels really useless to lose the game like this.

And right now.

The Bobcats began to make substitutions.

Kenyon Martin replaces Durant.

Rajon Rondo replaces jr.

Zhou Yao himself switched to shooting guard.

The Heat rely on the internal and external combination of O'Neal and Wade.

Zhou Yao went to guard Wade.

As for O'Neal, leave it to Oden, Scola and Martin.

The Bobcats' current strategy is that I can not score, but first you have to not score.

Isn't O'Neal still on the court?

Just stay.

But don't expect to continue to wreak havoc on the basket.

There is a room at the free throw line, waiting for O'Neal to come.

As for Wade.

Just shoot whatever you want.

However, one step outside the three-point line will set up a barrier for you.

Don't even think about coming in...
