Chapter 1540 The Collision of Speed and Passion
Of course, Wade was as excited as Ji Feng. He did not expect that the competition for the scoring champion would be such a script.
The two have been entangled in scoring many games ago, and when they were about to catch up, they happened to face a head-on confrontation. This game to a certain extent determined who will be the scoring champion this season. , is there anything more perfect than this?
"Never again." Wade said to himself in front of the mirror in the locker room.
"What?" Beasley asked, looking confused at Wade who suddenly didn't know what he was talking about.
"Nothing, I mean, quickly change your clothes, it's our turn to warm up." Wade glanced at Beasley lightly.
It is said that Beasley was brought to the team by Riley as Ji Feng's replacement. Wade still remembers that before the draft, Riley came to him excitedly and said that he had found a guy who was as talented as Ji Feng.
Wade also watched Beasley's training reports and games at that time. Judging from the training reports alone, Beasley can definitely be called a gifted person, swinging at the 3-4 position, with a soft shooting touch, and great length. The confrontation ability reflected in his arms and body are worthy of the second pick.
Wade was also very excited at the beginning. The success of Kobe and Ji Feng at the 2+3 position gave Wade hope of rising. Beasley, let alone catching up with Ji Feng, had the confidence to lead Ji Feng with more than half of his strength. The Heat are back at the top.
However, everyone has seen the ending of the story. Beasley is really talented. As long as he performs normally, he will always perform well. However, his brain is really not good. This is reflected in two aspects.
The first is that he has low emotional intelligence in life, and the second is that his tactics and playing style choices on the court are really incomprehensible.
Both of these are deadly enough. Many fans may not understand how a normal enough brain can help basketball. You will understand if you look at Beasley.
Beasley was involved in a marijuana case in the summer of 2008, which was fatal enough. Later, in his rookie season, Beasley was criticized by Wade for his lazy attitude in the game.
But Beasley obviously does not have a long memory. In the summer of 2009, Beasley uploaded a photo of a back tattoo on Twitter. It was discovered that there was a bag suspected of containing marijuana in the photo, and Beasley was forced to undergo drug rehab. and psychotherapy.
If these can only show that he is not self-disciplined off the court, then what happened in the preseason proves that he is also like that on the court.
Michael Beasley has been known for his emotional nature on the court since joining the league, and he suffered from it himself, missing a shot during a preseason game over the summer. He was personally very annoyed about the ball, so when he was returning to defense, he hit his head with his fist in anger. As a result, he suffered a head injury and had to return to the locker room for treatment as his eyebrow bone swelled.
Team doctor: "..."
What does it mean to be stupid? What does it mean to be so cruel that I even hit myself?
Beasley is perfect.
By the way, I would like to ask the team doctor, coach, and teammates about their psychological shadow.
This kind of behavior is the second most embarrassing behavior in the NBA this season, second only to Arenas who threatened his teammates with a gun in his locker room and was arrested by the police.
In addition to all the previous incidents, Beasley committed more crimes in his two seasons in the league than others in their entire career.
This has also seriously affected Beasley's game state and performance on the field. To put it bluntly, Beasley is simply not useful. He has made almost no progress and is constantly regressing.
But Wade is used to it. He no longer expects Beasley to join forces with him to create a big scene, so he still has to do this game by himself, as long as Beasley stays out of the way!
…
On the night of March 5th, Staples Arena!
With 16 championship flags flying, the Lakers completed their appearance ceremony. It has to be said that the Lakers' appearance ceremony this season is definitely the most impressive. After all, Ji Feng and Kobe can trigger huge riots.
Tonight was no exception.
And the atmosphere at Staples was obviously different tonight. The fans at the scene were particularly excited. The courtside was also filled with big-name stars. Even Beckham, the star of the Los Angeles Galaxy, took time to take his wife and children with him. Appeared here.
The last time the Heat had such an atmosphere at home was a few years ago, when Shaquille O'Neal returned to Staples for the first time as a visiting player.
After all, the Lakers and the Heat actually have no grudges. The two teams have never played against each other in the playoffs, so naturally there will be no hatred. The two teams belong to the East and West respectively, so they are not direct competitors. They compete every season. Twice, so fans took it lightly.
But tonight, the big Ji Feng VS Wade poster in front of Staples tells people that this is a special game.
"Okay, both starters are on the court, the Lakers' JKJ plus Fisher Bynum, the regular lineup, while the Heat have O'Neal, Beasley, Wade, Richardson and Arrow. About, Beasley moved to the 4th position, and Richardson took the 3rd position!" Yu Jia briefly introduced the starting lineups of the two teams before the game started.
Then he couldn't wait to bring the topic to Ji Feng and Wade.
"Before this game, Ji Feng averaged 30.1 points and Wade averaged 30.2 points, with a difference of only 0.1 points. Including this game, the Lakers and the Heat still have 20 games to play. In other words, if Ji Feng exceeds Wade by 7 points in this game, he can surpass Wade on the scoring list and become the scoring leader. Coach Zhang, what do you think?"
"Wonderful! This game will definitely be a head-to-head match, mainly because we meet. If we don't meet, we may not really fight, but if we meet, we will definitely try our best. This is the rule between NBA superstars." Coach Zhang replied.
Yes, the game confirmed Coach Zhang's point of view at the beginning.
In the first ball, Ji Feng took the lead in responding as the host. Facing Richardson, Ji Feng passed Richardson with the ball in one step. Ji Feng, who has the fastest first step in the league today, is the nightmare of all veterans. Richardson didn't react at all and could only watch Ji Feng rush to the basket. Beasley stepped forward to make up for the defense, but Ji Feng's feet were like clockwork.
Swing, jump left and right!
Then reverse layup with his left hand!
"Wonderful! This speed and reaction are amazing!" Yu Jia praised secretly.
Wade's situation was not so smooth. After all, it was Kobe who was defending him. Wade's strength and speed were not superior, especially after the injury. Fortunately, he had a pick-and-roll, and he started quickly after the pick-and-roll!
Lightning step!
Wade threw himself in the air and scored a wonderful goal!
"Compared with Ji Feng's breakthrough, Wade's was more direct, but very effective. Bynum did not block Wade's layup!"
Turning around, Ji Feng broke through again, and Richardson became a spectator again. This time, Ji Feng made a quick stop and shot to score another 2 points.
Wade still made a lightning breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, and scored again with a high rebound!
"Beautiful! Ji Feng and Wade each scored 4 points. This was a collision of speed and passion at the beginning of the game. Who can take the initiative!"
