    This season, the Heat's record was once ranked second in the Eastern Conference, but Riley was a little lax during the "pseudo rotation" in the first few games. As a result, they were overtaken by the Milwaukee Bucks, and are currently one win behind the Bucks and ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

    In terms of team strength, they should be slightly better than the Raptors, who are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. Especially with the return of team boss Mourning, the Heat players are as excited as if they were drunk.

    This is a "blocking battle". A win or a loss may affect the final ranking of the season, so both sides attach great importance to it.

    I thought that the Heat and the Raptors would be inextricably tied in this game, but I didn¡¯t expect that they would play badly.

    The Heat still showed a high level on the defensive end, but they played awkwardly on offense for no other reason Mourning is back!

    Yes, Mourning's sudden return made the Heat players seem like they no longer know how to play.

    After dozens of regular season games, the Heat's offensive routine has become quite smooth.  Either Hardaway, a traditional point guard, organizes the game at the top of the three-point arc, or Wang Dalin comes outside the three-point line to provide high-post support, while other players follow tactical movement and pick-and-roll.

    When the situation cannot be opened up, Eddie Jones or Anthony Mason can play singles on the wings. Their singles ability is also very good, and their offensive efficiency is not low.

    But now that Mourning is back, as long as he is on the court, the first thought of the players is to pass the ball to Mourning in the low post.

    Mourning has obviously been out of action for a long time. Although he performed very well in training, he is still a bit stretched in real games, and his low offensive efficiency is very low.

    In this game, the Heat lost to the Raptors 92:101. The game was as unsuspicious as the score. The Heat were suppressed by their opponents throughout the game and never took the lead.

    Mourning played 20 minutes and scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on only 3 of 11 shots.  His game feeling is still there, but it is obviously difficult to adapt to the intensity of the "stuck battle" at the end of the season.

    Mourning thought he would stage a "Return of the King" show, and the game was even broadcast live across the United States, but he was embarrassed.

    "Alonzo is obviously still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game. I believe he will be able to regain the form of last season by playing a few more games!"

    "That's right! None of us can expect Alonzo to perform well as soon as he takes the field after undergoing kidney transplant surgery. This is unscientific!"

    Barkley and Smith, the "non-mainstream crosstalk team" of TNT TV station, expressed sympathy for Mourning's poor performance in this game. After all, they both saw how fierce Mourning was last season.

    Isn¡¯t it just a kidney transplant?

    ??????????For "tough guy" Alonzo Mourning, is this a big deal?

    On March 30, the Heat challenged the Bucks away from home. This game was more critical than the previous game against the Raptors, because the Bucks currently happen to be second in the Eastern Conference, while the Heat are third in the Eastern Conference.

    If the Heat win this game against the Bucks, they still hope to surpass the Bucks at the end of the season and take second place in the Eastern Conference.

    If they lose this game, everything will be over. The Heat may never have a chance to rank second in the Eastern Conference this season.

    Riley directly gave up the "pseudo rotation" and allowed Jones, Hardaway, Mason and Grant to all play more than 35 minutes.

    Mourning still came on as a substitute in this game, and his playing time was the same as the previous game for 20 minutes.

    He scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on 4 of 8 shots from the field. His efficiency seemed pretty good, but he didn¡¯t make a single free throw in the entire game and did no real damage to the Bucks in the paint.

    On the other hand, the opponent's starting center Earvin Johnson (not Magic), although he only scored 1 point on free throws, he grabbed 13 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds.

    Bucks substitute power forward Jason Caffey also scored 9 points and 11 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds.

    In "Slam Dunk", Kanagawa Prefecture's No. 1 center Takenori Akagi once said: "If you control the rebounds, you can control the game!"

    In this game, the Bucks grabbed 51 rebounds, including 14 offensive rebounds, while the Heat only grabbed 36 rebounds, including only 9 offensive rebounds

    The result is obvious, the Bucks controlled the rebounds, so they won the game!

    On April 1, the Heat challenged the Bulls away from home, and they finally won.

    If even the Bulls, a team at the bottom of the league, cannot win, the Heat players and coaches may not be able to face their third-place ranking in the Eastern Conference.

    Mourning only played 16 minutes in this game. This time his offensive efficiency was much better. He made 4 of 6 shots and 4 of 6 free throws.?, scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

    The best performer for the Heat was Hardaway, who scored 21 points and 10 assists, including 3 assists to Mourning.

    On April 4, the Heat faced the Celtics at home, and they lost again, with a score of 82:77.

    Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, the "twin stars", both showed their strength in this game. "Truth" scored 33 points and 9 rebounds, and "Fat Tou Tuo" also scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

    The Heat's game was too slow and they took too few shots. They made a total of 32 of 77 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of only 41.7%.

    If the game is fast-paced and the number of offensive and defensive rounds is increased to 85-90, they can get at least 85-90 points based on this shooting rate. The Celtics' performance tonight may not necessarily win them.

    But when Mourning¡¯s playing time increases to 23 minutes, how can the pace of the game get faster?

    Mourning scored 11 points and 4 rebounds on 5 of 10 shots in this game. His shooting percentage was good, but his offensive efficiency was not high.  Because just like the game against the Bucks, he had no lethality in the paint and only got 2 free throws in the game.

    Since Mourning¡¯s return, the Heat have had 1 win and 3 losses in the past four games. Compared with before, it can be said that they are completely like two teams.  Mourning's personal win-loss average is also very low, only -4.

    In fact, the person who has the biggest impact of Mourning's return is Wang Dalin. He not only reduced Wang Dalin's playing time, but also took up many shooting opportunities that originally belonged to Wang Dalin on the court. As a result, Wang Dalin failed to score in double figures in these games.  .

    The most important thing isthe team's originally good chemical reaction is gone!

    Speaking of chemical reactions, more experienced fans should have a deep understanding of it.

    For example, the "Lakers f4" in the 2003-2004 season, and the "Lakers new f4" in the 2012-2013 season, are the players' popularity high enough?

    But did they finally win the championship?

    In the 2003-2004 season, the Lakers managed to reach the Finals, and finally won the "Grand Runner-up".

    What about the 2012-2013 season?

    They were swept out by the Spurs 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs!

    Whether a team is strong or not sometimes depends on more than just how many stars you have. Even if you gather the "Big Three" or even the "Big Four", if the stars are not compatible, the strength is likely to decrease instead of increasing.

    And once the team's chemical reaction is good, like the Pistons in the 2003-2004 season, they didn't have a single superstar in the team, but they defeated the "Lakers f4" and successfully won the championship.

    The Heat's current problem is that the team's chemistry has deteriorated since Mourning returned, which is why they have played so poorly in recent games.

    Riley is very confident in Mourning. The former All-Star center is still very good. He believes that as long as Mourning plays a few more games, he will gradually return to form.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that his proud disciple would take the initiative to come to his office for an interview (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
