Chapter 361 Winning streak and not optimistic about it
As many people think.
Riley's timeout didn't help.
The entire third quarter.
Zhou Yao made 11 of 11 shots, including 9 of 9 three-pointers and one free throw.
Scored 32 points in a single quarter, with 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block.
Leading the team to reverse the score at 19:44 throughout the third quarter.
The third quarter is over.
The entire Heat players felt dumbfounded.
71:50 at halftime.
After the third quarter, it turned into 90:94.
The 21-point difference was all over.
The Bobcats still have a 4-point lead.
speak up.
The difference between the two sides is only 4 points.
There are still 12 minutes in the fourth quarter.
The entire Heat team was filled with the feeling of failure.
"That guy scored 32 points in one quarter, is he still human?"
O'Neill grumbled.
He has played 31 minutes in this game.
Moreover, the inside line guarded by him can also be said to be impenetrable.
O'Neal already has 24 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.
And that's just his performance in the first three quarters.
However, he is tired now.
I want to take a rest.
Before the season starts.
Coach Riley promised him that.
He won't play more than 30 minutes per game this season.
This is very helpful for protecting O'Neill's body.
Allow him to finish the season with a healthier body.
It can also allow him to have more physical fitness to play in the playoffs.
The strength of the Heat has been strengthened this season.
But now it seems.
It only took Zhou Yao a quarter to blow up the heat.
This made O'Neill feel particularly unwilling.
Strictly speaking.
O'Neill didn't mind losing to Zhou Yao too much.
He entered the league in 1992.
There are also 14 seasons in the nba.
Importantly, he also played 5 finals.
Won 3 championships.
This made him very content.
As for those games lost.
Even Jordan doesn't have a championship to win every season.
There are other reasons that really upset O'Neill.
O'Neill is 34 years old this year.
And he has a lot of injuries.
He is very clear.
I am no longer in my peak state.
Perhaps, in a few years, he will choose to retire.
Kobe just turned 28 this year.
He still has a chance to chase his own championship.
When he left the Lakers, O'Neal held his breath.
When he came to the Heat, he trained more actively than ever.
On the one hand, Riley is harsher and harsher than Zen Master.
On the other hand, O'Neal wanted to prove himself, and he could still win the championship without Kobe.
Can be biased.
There is also Zhou Yao and his bobcat in front of him.
Can't get past the Bobcats.
The Heat couldn't even make it to the Finals.
Not even the Eastern Conference Finals.
This also makes O'Neill feel particularly frustrated.
The point is, this is the first game of the season.
……
The fourth quarter begins.
As expected, O'Neal was not playing.
Pat Riley looked a little disappointed.
But didn't say much.
Wade actually played the entire fourth quarter conscientiously.
36 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 block.
It seemed that he was also the only Heat player who looked like he wanted to win in the entire fourth quarter.
But Wade's performance in the fourth quarter is not good.
After all, only he is still working hard.
It won't be too hard to limit.
110: 119.
The Bobcats played more relaxed in the fourth quarter.
Zhou Yao didn't score as hard as he did in the third quarter.
42 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, 7 steals, 2 block.
The opening game got a triple-double data.
However, the media is generally not too optimistic about the prospects of the Bobcats.
The Bobcats won the game by 9 points.
But in fact, because of the loss of confidence in the fourth quarter, the Heat did not exert their full strength.
On the contrary, Zhou Yao made 9 of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 32 points.
This kind of performance is not possible every day.
What's more, Zhou Yao's performance in this game was perfect.
The two teams are the best in all five statistics.
Even for Zhou Yao himself, it is difficult to reproduce.
On the contrary, it was the Bobcats players who were holding them back.
If you can't grow quickly, you will drag the team down sooner or later.
……
11 month 1 day.
The media is still discussing the Bobcats' future.
The Bobcats also have back-to-back home games against the Pacers.
For Bobcats.
It was like playing the Heat again.
It's just that O'Neal was replaced by O'Neal Jr.
Wade was replaced by Danny Granger.
It seems that Rick Carlisle has no claims of his own.
The Heat played well in the first half yesterday.
Today he is going to replicate the Heat's approach.
It's just that the Pacers are not the Heat after all.
O'Neal has done a pretty good job guarding the rim.
It's just that his tonnage is not a giant under the basket like O'Neal.
What's more terrible is that the Pacers' outside line was beaten in a mess.
The Pacers' starting point guard, Jamal Tinsley, looked completely insignificant in front of Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao played 40 minutes.
41 points, 7 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals, 1 blocks.
Although Zhou Yao played more time in this game.
But in fact the Bobcats won more easily than the last game.
……
rest for a day.
11 month 3 day.
The Bobcats challenged the Grizzlies away.
Compared with the previous two wars.
The Bobcats are much easier this time.
Gasol was unable to play due to injury.
Not only that, the last game against the Knicks took three overtimes.
Finally lost.
The atmosphere of failure permeated the Grizzlies team.
Perhaps, before Gasol returns from injury, the Grizzlies could not recover.
Before, the media believed that the Grizzlies were already a strong team at the championship level.
Unexpectedly, it was just that Gasol was missing.
Grizzlies are like mud that can't support the wall.
Zhou Yao played 37 minutes.
34 points, 9 rebounds, 17 assists, 5 steals.
……
Before the start of the season, the media was not optimistic about the Bobcats.
But now.
The Bobcats won all 3 games.
Of course, many people disagree with this.
The Heat's own mentality collapsed.
The Grizzlies are missing the core of the team.
The Pacers have a complete lineup, and their mentality is fine.
The Pacers are not a strong team.
Such a 3-game victory is nothing at all.
The same is the Eastern team.
The Cavaliers also won all 2 games.
One game less, but the winning percentage is the same.
And many Cleveland fans believe that Zhou Yao has to average 39 points per game to win such a game.
I can see the weakness of the Bobcats as a whole.
"Knights vs Bobcats, this is the opening game of this year!"
Cavaliers fans have already left such posts on the Internet.
Many fans have even said that the Cavaliers will enter the finals this year.
However, such a post attracted a lot of ridicule in the west.
Since it is going to blow, why not just blow it bigger.
What does it mean to enter the finals?
Into the finals, but no champion.
Isn't this the biggest loser?
Of course, James is even still on a rookie contract.
If you can really lead the team to the finals, it will be no small success...
