NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

The Heat attack.

Wade took the ball to the top of the arc and faced Reggie Miller's defense.

Old Miller still kept Wade more than two meters away, trying to choke his breakthrough.

Lin Fei was on the left outside line at this time, ready to start running at any time, and Tinsley stayed close to the defense.

O'Neal in the penalty area suddenly stepped up to block Jamal Tinsley, and made a full cover for Lin Fei near the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Lin Fei suddenly started accelerating and quickly moved from the left to the right around the three-point line. Xiao Ou immediately delayed his defensive change, blocking Lin Fei's space to catch the ball.

Lin Fei kept moving at this time, and quickly made a cross screen with Wade holding the ball at the top of the arc. In an instant, Lin Fei had arrived near the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side.

Under two consecutive screens, O'Brien and Tinsley were both shaken off, and Reggie Miller could only quickly switch defenses to make up for it.

This completely messed up the Pacers' defense. O'Neal quickly went back to guard O'Neal, but Tinsley failed to make up for Wade.

"Whoosh!"

"The Flash" seized the opportunity without hesitation. He accelerated directly into the penalty area and started to move as fast as thunder.

Facing Artest's supplementary defense again, Wade was not reckless this time. He lost Artest's direction and made a layup with his left hand.

"Shh!"

Back on defense, Wade, Lin Fei and O'Neal high-fived each other. The offensive cooperation of the Heat's Big Three is very tacit, and it has obviously been practiced countless times in team training.

Although Lin Fei failed to get a chance to catch the ball in this offense, his outside control successfully tore apart the Pacers' defense, allowing Wade or O'Neal to get a chance.

Back on the defensive end, Lin Fei was responsible for chasing Reggie Miller without the ball, while Wade switched to guarding point guard Jamal Tinsley.

This defensive change in the backcourt achieved very good results. Under Lin Fei's active pursuit and defense, Reggie Miller failed to get the ball for two consecutive screens.

The high pick-and-roll between Tinsley and O'Brien had no effect. Wade was very quick to get around the screen, forcing Tinsley to hand over the ball to O'Brien to hit hard.

Xiao Ao's back is completely unable to support the huge O'Neill, and he hesitates to turn around and make a strong shot.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei had keen eyesight and seized this fleeting opportunity. When Reggie Miller wanted to step forward to respond, he stepped in in advance to double-team Xiao Ao.

The big hand slapped down like a scalpel, and cut off the basketball in O'Neal's hand.

"Snapped!"

Stretching out his long arms, Lin Fei quickly controlled the ball. Lin Fei's hands did not stick to the ball, and he quickly handed it to Wade who stepped forward to receive the ball. At the same time, he quickly walked to the right and flew down.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Wade held the ball in the middle and ran forward, as fast as lightning. Tinsley chased behind him, and Reggie Miller gritted his teeth to make up for it.

At the critical moment, the Pacers completely forgot about Lin Fei who was about to leave from the right.

Wade faced front and rear double-teams and made a sharp diagonal pass while traveling. The ball accurately arrived in front of Lin Fei.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took a step to make an emergency stop, stood half a meter outside the three-point line at a 40-degree angle on the right side, looked at the basket, jumped up, and decisively shot the pursuit three-pointer.

"Shh!"

This is Lin Fei's first three-pointer on behalf of the Miami Heat.

It was also Lin Fei's first three-pointer in the NBA regular season.

Although Lin Fei played in a lot of garbage time in the regular season with the Timberwolves during his rookie season, he scored very few points and never hit a single three-pointer.

Throughout his rookie season, Lin Fei played 26 games on behalf of the Timberwolves, averaging less than 6 minutes per game, and scored a total of 21 points.

If players' total regular season points are counted in the future, then Lin Fei's rookie season can be said to be completely wasted.

You must know that both James and Anthony are from the 03 generation. Their total points in the regular season during their rookie seasons were both over 1600 points, and Wade was also close to 1000 points.

Lin Fei's 21 points this season are just his points in one game.

Although he suffered a loss in the regular season, Lin Fei's rookie season's playoff data is absolutely leading the 03 generation.

He played 8 games in the Western Conference finals and the finals, scoring a total of 205 points. Among the rookies of the same class in 03, he was second only to teammate Dwyane Wade's 234 points in the rookie playoffs.

Wade played a total of 03 playoff games with the Heat in two rounds during the 04-13 season, averaging 18 points per game.

"Melo" Anthony only played 4 playoff games and scored 60 points. James and Bosh did not make the playoffs at all.

Although he ranked behind Wade in total points in the playoffs during his rookie season, Wade played in the first two rounds, while Lin Fei played in the last two rounds and won the championship. Wade is naturally incomparable in this regard. .

With the three-pointer from Wade's assist, the American Airlines Arena erupted into enthusiastic cheers and screams from the Miami fans.

The DJ at the scene shouted Lin Fei's name with a loud voice, and the fans echoed in succession.

When returning to defense, Lin Fei and Wade smiled and high-fived each other. Although it was only the first time they cooperated in an official NBA game,

However, during the nearly one-month offseason training and preseason warm-up, Lin Fei and Wade already had a very high tacit understanding.

Standing on the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy also had a smile on his face and nodded slowly with his big belly.

Lin Fei contributed 1 points and 3 steal in less than 1 minute on the field, and directly directed and staged a sharp counterattack. The Heat also played a wave of 5:0 and quickly overtook the score.

Heat (17): (15) Pacers.

In Tianchao's fifth live broadcast room, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were still responsible for explaining the game.

"Good shot! Lin Fei's chasing three-pointer was so beautiful. This was also the first three-pointer he hit in his first game on behalf of the Heat!"

"On the defensive end, he decisively double-teamed Xiao Ou and sent in steals. This also shows that our Lin Fei has greatly improved our defense after hard training in the offseason and polishing in the Olympics!"

"At least in my opinion, it has become not so easy for non-All-Star guards in the NBA to beat Lin Fei alone!"

"Lin Fei's current defense can't be said to be good, but he is definitely no longer a colander on the team's defensive end!"

Director Zhang was emotional. Seeing that Lin Fei's three-pointers were still accurate in the new season, and his defense was getting better and better, the improvement of his overall strength was obvious.

It is completely foreseeable that as long as Lin Fei stays healthy, he will definitely have a chance to earn a higher value this season with the Heat and be selected as an All-Star together with Dayao.

The host next to me, Yu Jia, asked:

"Director Zhang, what specific differences do you think are there between Wade and O'Neal, Lin Fei's current partners, compared to his star teammates from the Timberwolves last season?"

"Or in your opinion, do Lin Fei's teammates in the Heat have greater overall strength, or do Lin Fei's teammates in the Timberwolves last season have greater overall strength?"

Director Zhang smiled and analyzed carefully: "Looking at it as a whole, the Timberwolves last season must be stronger. After all, the three-headed monsters are all-star players, and Garnett is the new MVP! There is also Si Ze on the bench. Biak!”

"In contrast, the Heat now only have two All-Stars, O'Neal and Eddie Jones, and since the announcement of the zone defense rules, O'Neal's overall statistics have also shrunk significantly!"

"However, judging from this new season, Wade's growth is very rapid. Both he and Lin Fei have the opportunity to cooperate with O'Neal and be selected as All-Stars together!"

"It seems to me that Pat Riley made the right choice to help Dwayne Wade. After all, Wade has played in college for 3 years. He is now more mature than James and Anthony!"

"Compared with Sam Cassell, Wade may still lack experience in organizing offense, but his breakthrough and personal lethality are too strong, which is enough to create more space for Lin Fei!"

"Look at the quick play between Lin Fei and Wade just now. Both Pacers guards went to attack Wade, completely letting go of Lin Fei. This is a demonstration of Wade's terrifying fast break deterrence!"

After leading the Tianchao men's basketball team to a historic silver medal at the Yadian Olympics, and signing Anta for a sky-high price of 5 million,

This has made Lin Fei's status in the hearts of Chinese fans even higher, and his popularity and influence have skyrocketed.

If Dayao is the cornerstone of the Tianchao men's basketball team, then Lin Fei has determined the higher ceiling of the Tianchao men's basketball team.

Tonight's NBA new season opener naturally has more domestic fans paying attention and waiting in front of the TV early.

The new NBA season has finally started, and we have two Chinese stars Lin Fei and Dayao competing overseas.

For Chinese fans, this NBA season is definitely more worth looking forward to than any previous season.

What's more, whether it's Lin Fei's Miami Heat or the Rockets with Yao Mai, they all have the ability to compete for the championship.

"Brother Fei is awesome. He scored 1 points and 3 steal in less than 1 minute. He didn't miss a beat on both offense and defense!"

"With Wade and O'Neal here, I feel that Lin Fei will have more opportunities to catch and shoot this new season. He averaged 6 three-pointers per game. This is the advantage of playing with stars!"

"Lin Fei's defense is really much better than last year. First, the defensive end double-teamed and intercepted Xiao Ou. This time, Reggie Miller, who came back and chased after him, had a hard time catching the ball!"

"I feel Wade is better than James. Why are so many people talking about 'Little Emperor'?"

"Guess how many three-pointers my brother Fei can hit tonight, I think at least 7 are guaranteed!"

"The Pacers are still very strong, and tonight's opening game will be absolutely exciting! I have a feeling that the two teams will fight until the last minute to decide the winner!"

Look back at the American Airlines Arena.

Pacers offense.

Xiao Ao, who was suddenly double-teamed and intercepted by Lin Fei, obviously looked unhappy and was holding back anger in his heart.

This time on the offensive end, Jermaine O'Neal made a solid screen for Reggie Miller holding the ball in the high post, completely blocking Lin Fei who was chasing him.

As Lin Fei quickly moved around the screen, Xiao Ao's body moving in the pick-and-roll obviously moved and collided directly with Lin Fei. His strong arm even pressed against Lin Fei's chest.

This is an obvious mobile pick-and-roll foul, but the referee chose to ignore it.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and endured the pain of being hit, secretly thinking that Xiao Ao's physical fitness was definitely top-notch among centers.

Fortunately, his physical fitness has improved significantly during the offseason. If it had been last season, Xiao Ao would have knocked Lin Fei unconscious.

Reggie Miller saw an opportunity here, dribbled one step outside the three-point line on the left side of the top of the arc, stopped suddenly, and decisively shot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The ball missed, and the long backboard bounced high.

Although he is better at catching the ball after running without the ball, Reggie Miller also has a good ability to hold the ball, which is much better than Hamilton.

After all, he has been the boss of the Pacers during his peak period. A leader of a strong NBA Eastern Conference team cannot be a pure off-ball player like Lin Fei.

It's just that Reggie Miller's three-point shooting percentage with the ball is far less high than his three-point shooting percentage with the ball.

What's more, at the age of 39, Reggie Miller's overall three-point shooting percentage in the new season has also dropped below 40%.

"Snapped!"

Although Reggie's three-pointer failed to hit, the strong Artest grabbed the offensive rebound against Haslem and forced a layup, which directly caused Haslem's shooting hitter to foul.

Tonight, against the strong Artest, Haslem was under great pressure on the defensive end and could not take advantage at all.

After all, Haslem is only 2.03 meters tall. He has no height advantage as a power forward, and his tonnage is also inferior to Artest. The overall talent is poor, and only enthusiasm remains.

"Shh!"

"Bang!"

Artest walked to the free throw line with his chest puffed out, and his free throw shooting rate of about 70% all year round once again hit 2 of 1 free throws.

"Snapped!"

This time, O'Neal got the defensive rebound and quickly gave it to Wade.

The Pacers returned to defense quickly. Wade stabilized the rhythm and played positional warfare. He took the ball and landed at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the frontcourt, and faced Reggie Miller again.

With Wade and Lin Fei partnering in the backcourt, Wade is the point guard and starting point of the Heat's offense, while Lin Fei's weak dribbling ability determines that he can only play shooting guard.

Although the old Miller is 39 years old, he still has rich defensive experience. In the first half when he was full of energy, his defensive effect was obviously higher than that of Tinsley at the point guard.

The Pacers let Miller defend Wade while Tinsley chased Lin Fei. This also shows that Rick Carlisle pays more attention to Wade with the ball in his hand, followed by Lin Fei, who is sharp in three-pointers.

At this time, Lin Fei suddenly moved around the three-point line to the right at the top of the arc. At a 45-degree angle, with the help of Wade's cover, he accelerated straight to the right side at a 0-degree angle.

Lin Fei, who came to the 0-degree angle, formed an offensive triangle with Wade in the high position on the right and O'Neal in the low position in the penalty area.

This is a tactic that Phil Jackson often used during the Bulls and Lakers, and Stan Van Gundy has also been improved and integrated into the Heat's tactical system.

Because of Lin Fei's three-point deterrent, Reggie Miller had to quickly switch defenses to catch up and block Lin Fei's 0-degree catch and shot on the right side.

At this time, Wade faced Jamal Tinsley out of position and launched a strong attack based on his personal ability. His first step was as fast as lightning, and he directly threw away most of his opponent's body.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Wade drive to the basket, O'Neal bypassed the Sharks and came up to defend. Wade also saw the right time and passed the ball to O'Neal in the low post on the right in a feint.

O'Neal took the ball and stepped into the penalty area. Facing O'Neal who turned over and couldn't defend him, he jumped up and made a powerful and heavy dunk.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball goes in and the buzzer sounds, 2+1.

The cheers of the Miami home fans rang out again. Pat Riley, who was sitting in the first row on the sidelines, also had a deep look. He had already seen the shadow of OK in Wade and O'Neal.

Coupled with Lin Fei's huge outside containment, these three guys from the Heat are destined to cause a bloody storm in the league in the new season.

Riley believed in his vision, he would never be wrong.

O'Neal, who scored 2+1, was also very domineering. After high-fiving Wade, he took a dominant step, faced the Pacers bench on the sidelines, widened his eyes, held his breath, and pressed down with both hands!

"Hey guys, I know you're here to die tonight!"

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal blew a kiss to Lin Fei from a distance. This greasy expression seemed to say: Great Lin, please give me the ability to hit 100% of my free throws.

Lin Fei was also amused by O'Neal's funny expression. He first gave O'Neal a thumbs up with his right hand, then opened his index finger, made a pistol gesture and fired towards the basket.

Given O'Neal's touch and strength, this free throw must be hit.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound of brushing the net, and O'Neal made an extra penalty, but it was still empty.

In the past month, he has often practiced with Lin Fei Wade. O'Neal has gradually become obsessed with shooting three-pointers, and he has become more active in free throw training.

O'Neal, who scored 2+1, also looked very happy. He held his leather drum and shook his body while retreating, with a funny expression, and flirted with Wade and Lin Fei.

The Heat's offense is a triangular tactical cooperation on the strong side between the Big Three of O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei. Similar tactics will be performed more in the Heat's offense in the new season.

In this attack, Lin Fei mainly played the role of outside containment, while Wade and O'Neal are the two endpoints of the restricted area.

With Lin Fei's three-point deterrence, after he is in the corner position and Wade is covering, the opponent will most likely switch defenses, and Wade can therefore face off against the defender with weaker defense.

After all, looking across the league, there are very few teams in the starting backcourt where both players are equally good defensively.

In fact, for Wade's current ability, it is not difficult for him to overcome Reggie Miller, but the team must play a more united tactic on the offensive end.

Only in this way can the participation and enthusiasm of each player be increased, and the team's running-in and chemical reaction in the new season will be better.

第一节打了8分钟，热火队开场的20分被韦德、奥尼尔和林飞三人包揽，其中韦德“9分”1篮板3助攻1抢断，表现最为亮眼。

The Pacers took advantage. This time the ball was given to Artest, who pushed Haslem directly from the high post to the edge of the penalty area with his back, and made a solid half-volley jumper.

"Shh!"

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines frowned slightly. In this Heat team, the reserve of power forwards is obviously the most insufficient. Strictly speaking, Haslem does not have the strength to start.

Thinking of this, Van Gundy glanced at the players on the bench. The new season has just begun, and more players on the bench should be given a chance to practice.

When the ball changed, Eddie Jones was obviously dissatisfied with his long-term inability to touch the ball. He came to the offensive end and eagerly reached out to Wade for the ball, wanting to beat Wu Sheng Jackson alone.

Wade had to give the ball to Eddie Jones.

Although Eddie Jones is not a member of the Heat's future blueprint, after all, he gave Wade a lot of care last season, which Wade is still very grateful for.

"Eddie, I told you, I will never let you score in double figures tonight!"

Stephen Jackson's defense is very active. Although his personal talent is average, his ferocious and brutal energy often makes offensive players difficult to deal with.

Jones's pull-up jump shot after this breakthrough was too difficult and was effectively interfered by Jackson, causing the ball to miss.

"Bang!"

But the offensive rebound was taken by O'Neal, and O'Neill quickly stepped up to defend.

"Whoosh!"

Wade is also moving like a rabbit at this time, throwing off Miller on the right side and rushing to the basket, receiving O'Neal's touchdown ball, stepping into the penalty area and leaping up, another explosive dunk.

"Boom!"

The second-year Wade is really passionate, and as a teammate, Lin Fei is also infected.

When the ball was transferred, Reggie Miller dribbled directly from the backcourt and met Lin Fei at the top of the arc, indicating not to pick and roll, allowing his teammates to open up space.

The 39-year-old Miller clearly wanted to challenge Lin Fei alone to see if he could find a new breakthrough.

Everyone knows Lin Fei's performance in last season's finals. He is good at chasing down Hamilton without the ball, but he is very poor in defending against the man with the ball in singles.

But now Lin Fei has a defensive value of 75 points, plus a stealing attribute of 83 points, in front of the old Miller who is about to retire, he has not hesitated at all.

Reggie Miller, who is two meters tall, only weighs 87 kilograms, which can be said to be a bit thin for a shooting guard. At this period, Lin Fei was already stronger than Miller.

Coupled with an excellent wingspan of 2.12 meters and a positive defensive attitude, Miller has no advantage in the matchup.

Continuous back-up attempts to break through failed. Old Miller was a little confused and could only try to shoot a difficult three-pointer after taking one step from the outside.

Lin Fei pounced on the ball in time, effectively interfering with Reggie Miller's shot.

"Bang!"

Reggie Miller still missed the three-pointer, and Lin Fei completed a very successful defense.

"Snapped!"

The long rebound was caught by Wade with quick eyes and quick hands, and the Heat counterattacked again.

O'Neal fell into position in the positional battle, with his back against O'Neal holding the ball and making a strong attack. Artest quickly rushed up to double-team, but seeing that he still couldn't hold it down, he immediately fouled.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that it was a shooting foul, and O'Neal went to the free throw line.

The 32-year-old O'Neal is still in his prime, and his physical condition and mentality are very good.

The Pacers' two beasts, O'Neal and Artest, were unable to stop O'Neal from scoring in the low post. This terrifying deterrent under the basket can be said to be unparalleled.

I don't know why, but Lin Fei always feels that the current O'Neal plays more actively and passionately than the O'Neal who played in the Western Conference finals last season.

The conflicts between the OK group are ultimately irreconcilable, and the separation from Kobe also made O'Neal understand more.

Now that he has come to the Heat, the 32-year-old O'Neal also understands the importance of delegating power. If his younger brother Wade is free to play, he will be more efficient.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

Another steady hit of two free throws. O'Neal raised his eyebrows when he returned to defense. He was neither sad nor happy, but quite satisfied.

"Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson made a cross screen with Lightning Miller at the top of the front arc, and after receiving the ball, he met Lin Fei in a misplaced position.

"Hey man, your defense looks pretty good? Use a little more force and don't let me feel it!"

Compared with Lightning Strike Miller, "Martial Saint" has a much stronger body, with bulging muscles in his arms and a chest as strong as iron.

"Bang bang bang!"

After being pushed back twice by Jackson, Lin Fei couldn't help but retreat one after another, but he always maintained his defensive focus.

"Wu Sheng" suddenly made a turn-over jumper after clearing the space. Lin Fei quickly pounced on the ball, but he was still half a beat too slow. He could only watch the basketball fly past his fingertips.

"Shh!"

Have it.

Lin Fei frowned slightly, and quickly summed up the unfavorable factors in his defense just now in his mind.

The main reason is that his body is not strong enough to match the 99 kg Stephen Jackson in terms of tonnage. Simply put, he is not in a heavyweight class.

Regarding the current defense of 75 points, Lin Fei feels that he should be able to defend from position 1 to position 3. It is far from the defensive elite level, but at least it is not in vain.

Lin Fei's defensive characteristics are mainly active fighting, quick reaction, accurate prediction, and effective interference. He is no longer timid when facing ordinary NBA defenders, but he will suffer a little against powerful forwards.

Of course, against superstars like Iverson, Kobe and Wade, Lin Fei's solo defense is naturally useless and he can only rely on the help of teammates and double-teaming.

After the ball possession transitioned, the Heat's Big Three continued to play triangle offensive tactics on the strong side.

Wade held the ball at a high position at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Lin Fei used the cover to move to a 0-degree angle on the right side.

Reggie Miller still switched defenses to keep up, and Wade still misplaced himself and accelerated to break through the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Wade's breakthrough this time changed his center of gravity very low, and his body was almost flying close to the ground. Tinsley, who was defending, was stunned.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, Tinsley, who was behind Wade, lost his footing and was knocked to the ground.

This time O'Brien didn't rush to cover Wade, but Artest on the weak side let Haslem go to cover.

But Wade didn't have the slightest timidity in the face of Artest, and directly changed direction with a lost step, and hit a layup with his left hand again.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

Artest's defensive action was obviously a bit big, knocking Wade to the ground.

The ball goes in and the buzzer sounds, 2+1.

Wade, who fell to the ground, was also very excited. He was young and frivolous. After getting up, he beat his chest and shouted at Artest, who turned his opening cap over:

"Thisismyterritory! (This is my territory!)"

"Shh!"

Wade, who stepped to the free throw line, made another free throw and successfully scored 3 points.

The first quarter has not yet ended, Wade has already scored 7 points on 6-of-14 shooting.

Heat (26): (19) Pacers.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, who was standing on the sidelines, did not hesitate and quickly called a long timeout.

It seems that the team's defense must make changes, otherwise Wade will score at least 30 points tonight.

In second-year Dwayne Wade, Carlisle seemed to see the shadow of Jordan.

In the American TNT live broadcast room, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith's analysis of the opening game was spot-on, pointing out the reasons why the Heat are leading.

"It seems that the combination of Shaquille, Dwayne and Lin is far more worth looking forward to than expected!"

"One is an invincible first center in the low post, one is a talented shooting guard with sharp breakthroughs, and the other is an outside shooter with excellent three-point accuracy. Together, these three people are really a perfect match!"

"Dwayne Wade has been training in college for three years. He is definitely more mature than LeBron and Cameron now, and his technical characteristics and playing style have also been finalized!"

"Except for the need to improve his mid- and long-range sights, Wade has almost no shortcomings on both offense and defense, and his shortcomings in mid- and long-range have been completely made up by Lin!"

"We can see that before Lin came on the court, the Heat were still three points behind the Pacers, and within 4 minutes after Lin came on the court, the Heat quickly played a wave of 14:4!"

"Lin's outside containment allowed the Pacers' penalty area defense to be broken down, and Wade's sharp breakthrough and O'Neal's low-post dominance were fully demonstrated!"

"Although Lin only hit one three-pointer in 4 minutes, his role on the offensive end is not reflected in the data!"

After listening to Charles Barkley’s analysis, Kenny Smith nodded in agreement:

"Charles, every time you commentate on Lin's games, your mind will be extra clear!"

"Here we must give applause to the Heat's general manager, Mr. Pat Riley. His signings during the offseason were very successful and he also has far-sighted strategic thinking!"

"As expected of a legendary NBA coach, the Miami Heat definitely deserves more fans' expectations this season!"

After the timeout, the main players of both teams appeared again.

For the Pacers, Rick Carlisle temporarily replaced the old Miller with the team's sixth man, Fred Jones, to maintain a more flexible rotation defense on the back line.

On the Heat side, Stan Van Gundy replaced Udonis Haslem with roughly.

He was very excited to be able to basically enter the main rotation of the substitute inside line. He was mentally motivating himself to perform actively, concentrate, and play every minute of the game.

You must know that throughout last season, he only played 14 games with the Heat, averaging only 7 minutes per game. It was basically garbage time, contributing 3.1 points and 1.0 rebounds, and shooting 37.8% from the field.

Now that he got the chance to play in the first quarter of the opening game of the new season, and he was the first substitute choice for a power forward, he was generally flattered, and he knew that this had a lot to do with Lin Fei.

Of course, in today's parallel world, I was able to reconcile with the domestic basketball association in advance, and at the same time, I also won a silver medal as the absolute main force in the Yadian Olympics.

Coupled with the team's active training and good performance in the preseason, these have generally attracted more attention from the Heat coaching staff.

Seeing that he was replaced early, Lin Fei was naturally happy for his fellow teammates, and offered encouragement with a smile:

"Generally, come on, let's fight side by side like in the Olympics!"

Faced with Lin Fei's encouragement, the blood in the general's chest also boiled even more, he clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze became determined.

"Lin Fei, let's go home together after the game tonight. Your sister-in-law Song Yang has made dumplings for us!"

Lin Fei laughed and said, "If you win the game, go, if you lose, I'm not in the mood to eat dumplings!"

He roughly nodded and said: "You are right, we must win tonight!"

At this time, O'Neal also came over with his eyes wide open. Because he was speaking to Lin Fei in Chinese dialect, he naturally couldn't understand.

But after all, he had been with two Chinese people for more than a month, and O'Neal had also studied Chinese enthusiastically for several days. He could still understand the Chinese word "dumpling".

"What dumplings? Do you want dumplings? Take one with me, I like it!"

Lin Fei and Su Su smiled at each other and said to O'Neal: "Shaquille, if you win the game, I will take you to eat dumplings, including beef, green onions, leeks and eggs!"

A smile immediately broke out on O'Neal's face, and he said triumphantly: "Of course I have to win this game tonight, but I have to eat at least 100 dumplings."

He nodded with a general smile and said, "Enough!"

Because of Lin Fei's presence, he and O'Neal Wade generally get along more harmoniously.

This inevitably reminded him of his experiences in the NBA in previous seasons. Whether on or off the court, it was difficult for him to truly integrate with his foreign teammates, and he was even sometimes isolated.

But now, with Lin Fei, all these difficulties no longer exist.

It is really a blessing to have a fellow teammate who is the third person in the team to support me.

This new season, for the most part, is likely to be a watershed in his career.

He is 27 years old and is no longer young. If he doesn't produce some results in the new season, he will really be abandoned by the NBA.

Three kilometers south of the American Airlines Arena, in the living room of a seaside villa.

General's wife, Song Yang, was making dumplings on the coffee table with Tianchao's nanny, while also seriously watching the live broadcast of the game on TV.

Seeing that he was substituted at the end of the first quarter, and was the second Heat player to play on the bench besides Lin Fei, Song Yang was naturally very excited, and even had tears in his eyes.

The 50-year-old Tianchao nanny is a simple, kind-hearted, childless woman who has served Song Yang's parents and family since she was a child. A few years ago, she made a special trip to the United States with Song Yang.

"Miss, look, my uncle is here!"

Song Yang nodded emotionally and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to Lin Fei's support, Lin Fei is really roughly the same nobleman as our family!"

"This season is roughly the last hope in the NBA. I hope he can seize the opportunity and perform well!"

His eyes returned to the American Airlines Arena, and the game continued after a pause.

The first quarter of the game has reached the last 2 minutes and 03 seconds.

Pacers attack.

Seeing that his opponent turned into a tall Asian power forward, Artest suddenly became more energetic and directly turned his back to his teammates in the high post to ask for the ball, obviously trying to pick up the weak persimmon.

Haslem couldn't guard him, and naturally this slow-moving big bamboo pole couldn't guard him.

Facing Artest's back holding the ball, he generally concentrated on lowering his center of gravity, holding his breath to withstand the attack of the "beast".

But Artest is too strong. Even though he weighs roughly 117 kilograms and nearly 260 pounds, he still can't withstand Artest's impact.

Seeing the general's steps staggering, Artest took advantage of the situation and turned over to the left to break through, directly passed the slow-moving general, and reached the basket with a light pick.

But Artest was too careless with this basket, completely ignoring the Heat players rushing up from the diagonal.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the clear and loud sound, Wade relied on his excellent judgment and superhuman bullet speed to leap up in the penalty area and slap the basketball that flew out of Artest's hands onto the steel backboard.

This block was very shocking. The basketball bounced off the steel backboard and was roughly caught. He quickly turned over and passed the ball to Eddie Jones who was about to leave.

Stephen Jackson's return to defense was very fast, but Jones' breakthrough was blocked. A change of direction during the march could not get rid of the "Martial Saint"'s entanglement, so he could only slow down and stabilize the rhythm.

"Whizzing!"

Two lightning figures rushed up from both sides almost at the same time. Wade on the left was throwing away Tinsley, and Lin Fei was throwing away Fred Jones on the right.

Wade went straight into the penalty area and waved for the ball. This was a very good opportunity for a fast break dunk, but Eddie Jones failed to pass the ball out immediately.

Lin Fei, who was rushing down the right sideline, also had the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, but Eddie Jones also did not pass the ball.

He obviously wanted to perform on his own. At the end of the first quarter, Eddie Jones still shot 2-for-0 without scoring a point. He couldn't let Wade and Lin Fei, two rookies, steal the limelight.

"Whoosh!"

After lowering the tempo, he suddenly turned over and accelerated again. Eddie Jones used the tempo change in the fast break to instantly throw away half of Stephen Jackson's position and directly entered the frontcourt penalty area.

Although he was passed by, Stephen Jackson did not give up his defense. He was very active in chasing and defending, ready to send a big cap behind him at any time.

Jamal Tinsley, who was chasing Wade, also rushed up to make up the defense. Eddie Jones lost the best chance for a fast break layup, but under the interference of two defensive players, he jumped up and shot.

Although this underhand layup avoided being blocked, the angle of the shot was too tricky. The basketball circled the rim twice and finally rolled out.

"Whoosh!"

Wade, who rushed up from the diagonal thrust, relied on his terrifying bullet speed and physical fitness to get the offensive rebound over the heads of "Wu Sheng" and Tinsley, and then immediately sent for a one-handed dunk.

But this time Wade was too impatient and didn't control the basketball well. He made a strong dunk and directly sent the basketball flying out.

"Bang!"

The basketball that bounced high and flew out was roughly caught by the one who quickly followed up to the top of the arc. Artest quickly rushed up to interfere, roughly with his back against the opponent to protect the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who crossed the three-point line from the right side, was very fast. With the help of a screen roughly at the top of the arc, he quickly rushed to the left side of the 45-degree three-point line.

At this time, the rough screen succeeded in delaying Fred Jones' pursuit, and Artest didn't care about switching defenses immediately.

At this moment of opportunity, it was as if he saw the familiar cooperation between himself and Lin Fei in the Olympics, so without any hesitation, he turned his back and quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Lin Fei took off without making any adjustments after receiving the ball, and faced Artest, who came up on defense, and made a lightning three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Roughly assist +1.

Lin Fei scored +3.

Standing on the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy nodded slowly. It seemed that Lin Fei and his teammates from the two national teams did have a better understanding.
