Playing the Celtics away from home again, the Heat lost again.
This loss was not due to the pressure put on them by the home fans at the Celtics' "North Shore Garden" arena, nor was it due to the incredible performance of the "Celtic twins" Pierce and Walker. It was mainly because The Heat didn't go all out.
It¡¯s just a preseason game. The Heat ranked second in the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season. Why do they need to fight their opponents until they see red in the preseason?
In the first game, the two veterans Hardaway and Mason played more than 35 minutes. They must be given more rest this time.
The Heat have a lot of veterans this season. Hardaway is 34 years old, Mason is 34 years old, Marley is 35 years old, Green is 37 years old, Coswell is 32 years old, and there is also Mourning who is about to turn 31 years old
Under Spoelstra¡¯s dissuasion, Riley decided to let the team¡¯s young players play as much as possible in the next few preseason games.
One team¡¯s main players are doing their best to win, while the other team is adjusting the lineup and training new players. The results are self-evident.
Although the team lost, Wang Dalin got 30 minutes of playing time and performed well. He scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, and also sent 2 blocks. However, his shooting rate was a bit low, making only 8 of 21 shots and 1 of 4 from beyond the three-point line.
After the game, Wang Dalin completed another task and received a 2,000 point reward. This time he added 2 points to the ball control and 1 point to the mid-range shooting. In this way, the ball control finally reached 60, and the mid-range shooting finally reached 80.
Because of his outstanding performance in two consecutive games, Wang Dalin got more than 30 minutes of playing time in each of the next four games.
His performance in these games has been good. Throughout the preseason, he averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 53.3% from the field and 40% from the three-point range.
The reason why the data and efficiency are good is mainly because everyone plays preseason games for the same purpose as the Heat, mainly to run in the lineup and train new players.
Who looks like a Celtic? Playing the preseason is like playing the playoffsthe irony is that they still can't make the playoffs this year!
With such an outstanding performance in the preseason, Wang Dalin's weight in the hearts of members of the coaching staff such as Riley, Spoelstra and Askins has been greatly enhanced.
On October 26, 2020, after negotiation with Wang Dalin, the Heat uniform staff finally converted his non-guaranteed contract into a fully guaranteed contract in advance.
This result is actually a matter of course, but it is not entirely due to his performance in the preseason. The Heat's lineup this season, both in terms of starting lineup and bench depth, has declined slightly compared to last season. Riley hopes that Wang Dalin, a potential rookie, can strengthen the team's bench depth to a certain extent.
Moreover, Eddie House also performed well in the preseason. Even though he did not appear in the first game, he played no less than 16 minutes in the next five games. He averaged 10.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, including He averaged more than one three-point field goal, with a shooting percentage of about 38%. The second-round pick also won the trust of the coaching staff with his performance.
As for Ernest Brown, he was laid off as expected.
In the preseason, he played in every game, and averaged about 15 minutes per game. As a result, he only scored 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in 6 games he was simply useless!
With the end of the preseason, the 2000-2001 NBA regular season is finally about to begin
Wednesday, November 1, 2000, the first day of the regular season opened with 13 games, including many fierce competition scenes and wonderful performances by the stars
In the Lakers' 96:86 victory over the Trail Blazers, "Shark" O'Neal scored 36 points and 11 rebounds, which can only be regarded as a normal performance.
Although the Suns lost to the Warriors 94:96, Jason Kidd scored a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, almost leading the team to victory.
The SuperSonics also lost to the Grizzlies. Gary Payton also scored a triple-double of 27 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Kidd in the scoring group.
The Pistons' 104:95 victory over the Raptors was particularly exciting because the Pistons' Jerry Stackhouse scored 44 points and became the scoring leader on the first day of the regular season.
In addition, Tracy McGrady, who has reached the peak of his career, also led the Magic to defeat the Wizards. The score was 97:86. T-mac scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
I said before that Pierce is the number one small forward in the league, but I must say more here Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Carter are all shooting guards this season, and they have been shooting guards for most of their entire careers.
On November 2, the Miami Heat finally ushered in the regular seasonThe first opponent, they will face the Orlando Magic at home!
This season, the Magic just signed Tracy McGrady with a seven-year, $93 million max-salary contract, and traded Chankey Atkins and Ben Wallace for Pistons boss Grant Hill. These two top forwards The combination of guard swingman will probably make any opponent tremble when they see it.
Fortunately, the Heat traded Eddie Jones this season, and Anthony Mason can also swing to the small forward position at any time, so he will not be completely disadvantaged on the wing. Moreover, the Magic just played a game yesterday, and today's game is a back-to-back game, so their physical fitness will be affected to some extent.
The day before the game, Spoelstra told Wang Dalin good news - he had been included in the roster for the game against the Magic.
It needs to be explained here that the team's roster can have up to 15 people after January 10th each year, but the roster for each game can only have 12 people.
Generally speaking, first-year rookies like Wang Dalin are rarely included in the game list, unless you are a first-round pick or even a lottery pick.
For example, in the Heat's opening game, Eddie House was not included in the game roster. This is not because he is not strong enough, but mainly because the coaching staff has more trust in experienced veterans.
The current starting point guard of the team is Tim Hardaway, and the backup point guard is Anthony Carter. It is meaningless to have one more point guard. Even if the coaching staff puts Eddie House on the roster, so what? Can he still get playing time?
Due to Mourning's absence, the Heat's current inside strength has been greatly reduced. Grant often has to play the center position, so there must be strong substitutes at the power forward and even small forward positions. Riley believes that Wang Dalin is the best player on the team. The right person.
On the afternoon of November 1, at the end of the team¡¯s last training session before the game, Riley announced the 12-man game roster and also decided on the starting lineup.
Starting lineup: Center Brian Grant, power forward Anthony Mason, small forward Eddie Jones, shooting guard Bruce Bowen, point guard Tim Hardaway.
Substitute lineup: Centers AC Green and Duane Causwell, power forwards Wang Dalin and Don McClung, small forward Dan Marley, shooting guard Ricky Davis, point guard Anthony Carter.
Considering that Dan Marley, a veteran, is 35 years old, and AC Green is 37 years old, Wang Dalin sometimes has to play center or small forward, and it is estimated that the playing time will be about 12-15 minutes.
When he returned home in the evening, Wang Dalin quickly opened the system interface. As he entered the competition roster, all the tasks in the fourth stage were finally completed, and he also received the reward of "increasing the value of any specified ability by 5 points".
Wang Dalin¡¯s original plan was to improve his defensive ability first so that he could fight for a bench position in the Heat, which has a ¡°defense first¡± philosophy. But when he got the opportunity, his thoughts changed.
Riley, of course, prefers players who are good defenders. For example, Bruce Bowen, a strong perimeter defender, only averaged 5.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game last season. This season, he has entered the starting lineup. But Wang Dalin knows that if the team's offense is blocked, it will be difficult to win by defense alone.
???Look at the bench lineup. Which one can average more than 10 points per game? Not to mention 10 points, not even 7 points per game!
So Wang Dalin made a decision. He spent the 5 reward points on the mid-range shot, so that his mid-range shot ability has reached 85!
