Chapter 271 270. This season’s Player of the Week comes early!
After the intermission, the Bobcats sent out Rondo, Zhang Yang, Mike Miller, Millsap and Okafor.

The Heat sent out a combination of Smush Parker, Wade, Anfernee Hardaway, Daequan Cook and Mark Blount.

Every time Wade plays on the court with these guys, he wants to explode on the spot. He has never fought such a poor battle!
Mark Blount is another player who was traded back for a short-term contract in exchange for a long-term contract. His contract expired in 09. Here comes the point: he was traded from the Hornets for James Posey, who had 10 years left on his contract.

When Wade learned about the deal in August, he was so angry that he cursed like crazy. The Bobcats had previously used Jarrett Jack as the core bargaining chip to trade for James Posey, and were even willing to give "salary compensation", but the fortune teller refused, and in the end he got a 8-year-old soft veteran in return!

How soft is Matt Blount? He is 213 cm tall and weighs less than 104 kg. In his best year of career rebounding, he averaged only 30 rebounds per game in 7.2 minutes. He has played for 7 years, and only averaged more than 5 rebounds per game in two seasons. Moreover, he is not a marginal player, but a main center who has averaged 24 minutes per game in his career so far.

Then, in order to fill the shortage of backup small forward, the fortune teller went to sign back Penny Hardaway, who had retired for a year.

Wade wouldn't have so many complaints, but when he saw Hinrich's...

The second quarter began with the Heat attacking first.

Wade came to the other side's three-point line to wait for Parker to advance. Zhang Yang stood in front of Wade. Seeing Wade's undisguised disdain when he looked at his teammates, Zhang Yang comforted him: "Dwyane, don't be discouraged because of a bad lineup at the moment. You have to be strong. You are one of my most admired opponents."

Wade turned his head like a roe deer, tilted his head slightly upward, and looked at Zhang Yang in astonishment - what's wrong with this guy today? He actually speaks so nicely.

Zhang Yang paused and continued, "You will have many bad teammates in the future. You have to get used to it."

Wade had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat: I’ll fuck you!

He waved at Death Parker - here comes the ball!
If it was any other trash talk, Wade wouldn't be so angry, but the No. 3 on the opposite side actually told the truth, which is intolerable!

After receiving the pass, Wade broke through Zhang Yang, stopped suddenly at close range, and took a jump shot...and it went in!
Despite being furious, Wade played calmly, decisively and resolutely, and the shot was beautiful.

Zhang Yang clapped his hands twice. The No. 3 on the opposite side was really strong. The Flash was really not an ordinary person. It seemed that the trash talk had the opposite effect... It didn't matter. He continued to attack!

In the transition from offense to defense, Rondo advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Zhang Yang.

Wade continued to press forward and defend roughly, but Zhang Yang controlled the ball and changed direction flexibly before being stuck.

Wade retreated immediately, blocking Zhang Yang's advance route.

Zhang Yang's advance was a fake move. He stepped back, received the ball, exited the three-point line, and jumped!
Wade quickly jumped up and jumped very high.

But Zhang Yang made a complete jumping action and he didn't jump short. His height advantage was reflected at this time. Facing Wade's defense, he successfully shot a three-pointer... and it hit!
Thousands of Bobcats fans at the scene cheered continuously. This ball was hit too smoothly. Yan Ye was in the air!

The fans felt that this shot was very difficult, but Wade, as a defender, felt completely different. The offense of No. 3 on the opposing team was not about the shot. The opportunity had already come out, and whether the shot could be made depended on the feel and basic skills.

The key point is the individual steps in front to create opportunities!

In the first quarter, Wade focused all his attention on Zhang Yang using him to practice defense, and did not notice that Zhang Yang was adjusting the details of the offense in the face of his pressure defense.

When Wade defended Zhang Yang for the first time after the intermission, he felt he couldn't keep up!
Not only use him to practice defense, but also use him to practice offense!

Wade was furious. He was about to turn 26 and was at the peak of his career, but he was treated as an "experience bag" and a "training tool" by a 19-year-old kid!
If he had two more capable teammates, how could he have ended up in such a situation?

During the game, Wade transferred his dissatisfaction with the team to Zhang Yang.

The Heat attack, Wade continues to force forward!

Wade successfully passed Zhang Yang and broke into the inside. Mike Miller on the wing moved in. Okafor under the basket expanded out of the reasonable collision zone to defend, and Millsap on the other side retreated to the basket.

The Bobcats did a very good job of defensive encirclement. Wade's space for a close-range jump shot was blocked, and there were two lines of defense in the three-second zone... He slammed the ball forward, took a step on the right sideline of the three-second zone, grabbed the ball, changed direction to the right and stepped to the right side of the three-second zone near the baseline, avoiding the encirclement of Okafor and Mike Miller.

Facing Millsap who came out to cover for him, Wade jumped up in his second step, took a big step to the arc of the reasonable collision zone, and passed all three of them!
There was no one under the basket, Wade jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand... but he failed to dunk it! A force came from the ball!

"Pa"... "Bang"...

Zhang Yang jumped from the front of the basket and slapped Wade's dunk ball away, smashing it onto the backboard!
Okafor moved behind Zhang Yang, pushed Mark Blount away to secure the defensive rebound, turned around and passed to Rondo.

Rondo started a fast break, easily passed the pressing Parker, rushed to the frontcourt and made a small-time layup!

34 to 29, the Bobcats' lead expanded to 5 points!
Okafor's calmness in grabbing the rebound in the three-second zone without any hesitation after being passed by Wade, his vision in finding his teammates who could fast break after grabbing the rebound, his decisiveness in passing the ball in the first place, and Rondo's lightning counterattack speed... These were all very exciting, but the fans' focus was not on them, but on Zhang Yang's block!
Just now, after being passed by Wade, Zhang Yang turned around and stopped at the right side of the free throw line. Instead of going deeper, he moved two steps to the left and came to the free throw line, blocking Wade's route to pass to Daequan Cook who was running to the top arc.

But when Wade grabbed the ball and took the first step toward the baseline, Zhang Yang immediately started to rush towards the basket. It was obvious that he predicted the final landing point of Wade's European step, and he grasped the timing of the attack just right, giving Wade a solid block!
This time, even the fans at the scene felt Zhang Yang's improvement on the defensive end when facing Wade!
Skills and the like certainly did not get better in just over one quarter, but it was obvious that Zhang Yang read Wade's offense better, and his defensive choices were also better after multiple one-on-one defense experiments!

Death God Parker and Penny ran back to serve the ball. Penny pushed forward and passed it to Wade who had been holding his hands open. He was just a filler on the roster. He no longer had the airs of a star player. He decisively turned into a fish, pushed forward, caught the ball and shot a mid-range shot. On the defensive end, he didn't care whether he could keep up with the three-point shooter or not. He can get a pension of hundreds of thousands of US dollars this year...

Wade continued to attack, and Zhang Yang still couldn't stop Wade's breakthrough. Unless the Bobcats shrank the flanks and expanded the basket in advance, it would be impossible to block Wade.

But as Zhang Yang gradually found a way to defend Wade alone, made better use of his teammates' defense, and made better use of the opponent's wing shooters' inadequate ability, the restrictions on Wade also increased!
Unless his teammates are in a wide open position and can directly score under the basket, Wade really doesn't dare to pass the ball. If he passes the ball and his teammates miss the shot, they may be counterattacked.

What makes Wade uncomfortable is that not only is the offensive pressure increasing, but the defensive end is also getting worse and worse.

I can’t stick to it anymore!
Compared to the last regular season match, Zhang Yang's change of direction has more variety. His main style is still simple but with a hint of flirtation, but from time to time he makes a big pull, or a continuous crotch dribble and pull-up shot...

As the game progressed, fans at the scene suddenly discovered that Zhang Yang, who was suppressed by Wade in the first quarter with 5 of 2 shots and 6 points and 2 assists, played back and forth with Wade in the second quarter!

Watching Wade's increasingly anxious expression, with more and more resentment and indignation on his face, and then looking at Zhang Yang's youthful face filled with nothing but fighting spirit... the fans saw what sunshine and the future meant from Zhang Yang's expression and posture, especially when compared with Wade.

Wade, who will only turn 26 in two months, somehow exudes a sense of old age.

第二节韦德打了10分钟，9投4中，加上4中2的罚球，拿到10分3助攻。

半场打了20分钟，15投7中，加上8中5的罚球，拿到19分3板7助攻1抢断1盖帽，韦德的表现相当漂亮。

But in the last attack of the second quarter, Zhang Yang rushed into the three-second zone and made a high throw before O'Neal turned around to block the shot, increasing his score in the quarter to 11 points!
Although Zhang Yang played for 21 minutes in the first half, with more playing time and less points than Wade, his overall shooting percentage was only 16 of 7, which was only 43.7%, which was also lower than Wade's 46.7%. However, his score in the second quarter alone exceeded Wade!

Not only did Zhang Yang score more points than Wade in a single quarter, but the Bobcats' overall score in the second quarter also opened up a clear gap with the Heat.

Wade scored one point more in the second quarter than in the first, but the Heat scored five points less as a team, only 1 points, while the Bobcats scored 5 points, basically maintaining their scoring performance in the first quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Bobcats led the Heat by 57 points, 49 to 8!
Entering the halftime break, Wade looked at the data comparison on the big screen.

In terms of the score, they were 8 points behind at halftime... They were slaughtered by the Bulls in the opening game and defeated by the Timberwolves in the second game. Although Wade is very unwilling and angry now, this is predictable.

He focused on Zhang Yang's shooting performance in the second quarter. He made 11 of 5 shots, including one three-pointer. He didn't take any free throws, but he still managed to get 1 points with 11 shots!
Every time he played against Zhang Yang, Wade was shocked by his wild energy...

On the other side, Carlisle's attention was also on Zhang Yang's number of shots.

He held back his complaints, and after all the players entered the tunnel, he complained to Randy Brown who was hanging at the back: "Jack can really shoot! Wade's 9 shots were enough, but I didn't expect him to take more! Whenever I thought he had no chance to shoot, he always managed to shoot the ball."

Randy Brown: Is this dissatisfaction? Not really... But I still have to explain it to the bad boy. Oh, what did John tell me to say when I encounter this situation? I remember now!
Randy Brown responded: "I think if Wade had the conditions, he would be willing to shoot like Jack."

Carlisle: “Hmm?”

How did it get involved with Wade?

Randy Brown: "Jack distributes his energy better than Wade does, and he has better conditions for it.

When Jack is tired of attacking, he can give the ball to Rajon, Raymond, or Grant, and then continue shooting after a break.

But Wade can't do that. Whenever he is on the court, the ball has to pass through his hands, otherwise the Heat's offense will play even worse and the score difference will be more than 8 points.

On the defensive end, the two players have different consumption. Jack defends smarter, has stronger teammates to rely on, and consumes less energy than Wade. Wade can only rely on himself to defend Jack, so Jack's offense has better continuity and is in a position to take more shots. "

Carlisle felt that Randy Brown was right, and he understood what Randy Brown meant, and said with a smile: "I am not dissatisfied with Jack's number of shots, I just sigh that he likes shooting more than any player I have ever seen.

When I was an assistant coach for Sloan in 98, I met Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference Finals. He played very badly, but he was always rushing to take shots. I remembered him at that time, and later he became the player who loved shooting the most and took the most shots in the entire league.

Now seeing Jack, I feel like the Kobe Bryant label is going to be taken away..."

...

After the halftime break, Zhang Yang continued to start, while Wade on the opposite side was replaced.

This is Wade's regular rotation. He often has to rest for half a quarter in the third quarter, even if the score is close and he is behind, otherwise he will not be able to hold on for the rest of the game.

韦德体力问题暴露得最明显的一场比赛，是在04-05赛季后半段，23岁的他和30岁的艾弗森的‘初代3号对决’。

In that game, the Heat and the 76ers played double overtime. Wade played both overtimes and only played for 49 minutes. He made 33 of 18 shots and scored 48 points, the highest in his career so far.

On the other side, Iverson only rested for 3 minutes in the second quarter and played the entire rest of the time, playing 55 minutes and scoring 38 points and 16 assists.

那场比赛的结果是热火队输了，韦德和奥尼尔两人被艾弗森生生耗死了，韦德的48分里有46分是常规时间和第1个加时赛拿下的，第2个加时赛他只拿到2分，热火队全队也只拿到2分；对面艾弗森常规时间和第1个加时赛拿到30分16助攻，第2个加时赛独得8分，76人队通过双加时6分取胜。

Tonight, Wade played even harder than the time he played against Iverson. At that time, he had a teammate named O'Neal who performed at the MVP level, and a bunch of outstanding teammates. Good role players like Laettner, Kenyon Dooling, Shandon Anderson, etc. were only players in the third and fourth lineups in their team, at the end of the rotation.

Now...the third quarter begins, Rondo steals the ball from Death God Parker and launches a counterattack!

Death God Parker and Chris Quinn chased after him, and Rondo rushed to the opposite inside line, without turning his head, and swung to the left at a 45-degree angle.

The ball has arrived and the people have arrived!

Zhang Yang followed up and received the ball, dribbled a step to the left, avoiding Ricky Davis who was chasing and blocking him, jumped, and took a three-point shot... The shot was as good as it had been in training and it went in steadily!

20 to 19, Zhang Yang scored more than Wade, 60 to 49, the Bobcats' lead reached double digits.

Rondo's poker face flashed a trace of resentment: "Third brother, you can fake the shot, no need to dribble, I believe you can make it even if you make it harder! I don't have to get assists, but you and the eldest brother both scored in singles tonight, and I got more rebounds than assists!"
Some people give me the nickname C!

Wade was not there, and even O'Neal was not on the court. The Heat were led by Death God Parker and Ricky Davis. The performance was terrible. After a few rounds, the score difference was heading towards 20 points.

At 4 minutes and 16 seconds, Mike Miller received a three-pointer from Rondo and the score came to 73 to 55, with a difference of 18 points!
Wade couldn't sit still anymore, so he took the initiative to find Pat Riley and asked to play.

Pat Riley did not refuse and replaced Wade, but Wade's role after he came on the court was not as big as in the first half.

At that time, the score was always close, with the difference of only 8 points at the end of the first half. As long as Wade was on the court, his teammates felt there was still hope. Now the difference is almost 20 points, and Wade cannot dispel the despair in his teammates' hearts.

这时候热火队其他人的想法变成了——上半场闪电侠拿到19分7助攻他们都落后8分，现在落后18分，就算闪电侠再来个20分钟19+7又能怎么样？
The Heat fans at the scene have also begun to leave...

It can only be said that in terms of scoring, Wade is still not as good as those top scorers in the hearts of fans and teammates...

After Wade came on the court, the Heat narrowed the gap to 13 points at most, but could not get any closer. As long as Wade's personal offensive slowed down, the gap would be widened again. This was similar to the first half, and Wade's frequency of slowing down his personal offensive was obviously higher than in the first half.

There was no hope of catching up, but Pat Riley did not let Wade go off the court. He let Wade play for 9 minutes in the final quarter, bringing Wade's playing time to 36 minutes. He made 25 of 12 shots, including 12 of 8 free throws, and scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

On the other hand, Carlisle also let Zhang Yang play for 9 minutes in the final quarter. He replaced Zhang Yang only after Pat Riley replaced Wade, allowing Zhang Yang to play against Wade more and get more training.

It is not only a training, but also a way to accumulate experience in defending Wade. In Carlisle's view, a player like Wade will sooner or later lead the team back to the front line of the league. When the Heat have survived this wave of salary peak, they will definitely rebuild the championship lineup around Wade. If the Heat do not do that, Wade will definitely leave. He remembers that when Wade renewed his contract in advance in 06, he signed a 3+1 contract, and the 10-year-old Wade could opt out of the contract in 28 years.

张杨出场40分钟，狂扔28次，28投13中，其中三分球7中3，加上8中7的罚球，拿到全场最高的36分4板3助攻1抢断2盖帽！

If your efficiency is not as high as Wade's, then increase the amount of missed shots!

In fact, it's not that bad. Apart from 5 of 2 in the first quarter, Zhang Yang made 11 of 5 shots in the second quarter and 12 of 6 shots in the second half. It can be seen that as he becomes more familiar with Wade's defense and Wade's physical strength declines, his singles performance is getting better and better.

At 9:21 pm, the final whistle sounded and the Bobcats defeated the Heat 117-98!
Wade played for 16 minutes in the second half, scoring 13 points and 6 assists. He fought to the limit, but he could only barely keep the score difference within 20 points. Unlike the game against the Bulls, the score difference was once pulled to 30 points by the Bulls...

...

At noon the day after playing the Heat, after lunch, the Bobcats left South Coast and flew to Philadelphia.

On the plane, Zhang Yang, Felton, and Alan Anderson, a group of close friends from the same class, sat together and talked about the start of the season.

Talking about the three consecutive wins at the start, Felton said: "We started the season relatively smoothly. Except for the trouble against the Bucks, the other two opponents were too weak overall. I looked forward to playing against the Heat every time in the previous two seasons. This season I don't want to play against them at all. I don't want to see O'Neal getting old. He is the Big Shark! The man who swept Kidd, how could he get old so quickly?"

O'Neal didn't play badly last night. He played for 23 minutes, made 5 of 3 shots, and 5 of 3 free throws, scoring 9 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks... But he is the Big Shark, so this performance looks terrible.

Alan Anderson: No, wouldn't it be better to relax a little?

Zhang Yang: "It's a benefit for the defending champions. The early schedule is easy, which allows us to better get through the new season's running-in period. But sometimes we do need some strong opponents, otherwise we will relax or have the illusion that we are strong. In fact, even the Bucks, a team with only the core players, can cause us trouble if their core players explode.

The Heat should be the focus game arranged for us at the beginning of the league. We will play against them at home again in a few days, but Stern probably didn't expect O'Neal to degenerate so seriously. I feel like he can't jump anymore. He didn't have a single dunk last night. I remember that his most dunks in a season were 1?
If I had been born 10 years earlier, I would have been able to play against the best Sharks. What a shame. "

Felton also sighed with regret when he heard this.

Alan Anderson: As a rookie, I feel like I don't fit in with you guys.

As they chatted, the topic turned to their personal performances last night.

Alan Anderson complained: "I renewed my contract, got a pay raise, but my playing time has decreased."

Zhang Yang: "Since your playing time has been reduced, you should practice more. There is nothing you can do."

Alan Anderson: “…”

Third brother! If we weren't on the plane, I would definitely challenge you to a duel from thirty meters away!
Felton saw Alan Anderson's resentful expression and smiled, "What Jack meant is that the more difficult the situation is, the more you cannot give up on yourself. After we lost Gerrard, we selected Aaron and signed Mike. At that time, I thought you might have fewer opportunities in the new season, but the team still gave you an annual salary of 200 million, which means that the management and coaching staff have expectations for you, but you are not as strong as those people now. If Walter didn't want to play, I think you might not even be able to make the 12-man activation list.

Now you have money to earn and can train with experienced veterans like Mike, Grant, and Nazr. You should work hard to improve your skills and seize the opportunity when it comes."

Alan Anderson nodded heavily and agreed.

This is a very cruel thing, and Alan Anderson himself knows it, so even if these words come from the mouth of the little fat boss, they are still so harsh, but it is still much better than the third brother...

However, while Alan Anderson was complaining about the third brother in his heart, he was also secretly happy. If it were someone else, the third brother might not even pay attention to him, or might just be perfunctory.

After helping his younger brother adjust his mentality, Felton said, "I feel like my breakthrough and step-back rhythm training has hit a bottleneck. It's always a little bit short. Jack, after we play against the 76ers and return to Charlotte, can you help me think of a solution?"

Zhang Yang: "I have also been training the rhythm of stepping back after pulling the ball recently. We can discuss it together. After the two consecutive away games, we have 4 consecutive home games. The last one will be against the Suns. Then, I will invite Steve to dinner and invite him to come out for training?"

Felton's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is possible!"

Alan Anderson didn't want to waste Nash's precious time this time and didn't get involved in this topic. He said, "Jack, your physical strength has improved a lot this season. You played for 40 minutes last night, and you played better and better as time went on!"

Felton: "Yes, in two years, no, next season? Or in half a year? Your physical strength may be better than mine. You are only 19 years old! I envy you so much."

Zhang Yang said proudly: "Geniuses are always different... Hey, hey, don't do it! The plane is so small, you can't escape if we really start fighting!
I also feel that my physical strength has improved a lot compared to the beginning of last season, which is also related to the change in our playing style. It is the same for you, Boss. The space for singles is better. Although Gerald's departure has a great impact on our scoring under the basket, the addition of Mike and Grant, and Rick's adjustment in playing style, have created easier conditions for us to play singles outside. "

Felton nodded: "Yes, I felt it too, but our defense has declined a lot. It's fine that the Bucks scored 106 points, but the Heat only relied on Wade, and everyone else was waiting for him to feed the ball, and they still scored 98 points..."

...

On November 11, the Bobcats came to the Wachovia Center to challenge the 6ers away.

During the offseason, the 76ers made a major lineup adjustment, trading away or not renewing the contracts of players who were not suitable for the core combination of Andre Miller and Iguodala.

Even for a pitcher like Korver, the 76ers management gave up matching the offer after receiving an offer that exceeded their psychological price.

Although Korver is good, he does not match their outside core combination.

Moreover, Korver is just a shooter at the moment. His defense has been shockingly bad in the four years with the 76ers. He previously partnered with Iverson as a starter for a period of time. During the time they were together, both allowed their opponents to score 4 points per 100 possessions. The defensive performance of the double-sieve combination was shockingly poor.

He is far from being the top team 3D player who will develop first-class team cooperation and defensive ability after several years of training in the Jazz in the future.

After a series of lineup adjustments, the 76ers started with a new lineup: Andre Miller, Willie Green, Iguodala, Reggie Evans, and Dalembert. The sixth man is Louis Williams, who averaged 2 points and 4 points per game in the previous two years and began to realize his talent in the third year after training for two years.

With the addition of jumping man Rodney Carney and two rookies with excellent combat effectiveness, Jason Smith and Thaddeus Young, the 76ers' new 9-man rotation had an excellent performance of 2 wins and 1 loss at the start.

伊戈达拉3场比赛场均21分6板5助攻2.3抢断，还差俩月才满24岁的他，让费城球迷高呼‘我们又要有巨星了’。

It’s just…after the game between the Bobcats and the 76ers started, Zhang Yang felt that scoring over Iguodala was a bit too easy!

He saw that Iguodala averaged 21 points, 5 assists and 2.3 steals per game, and he also thought that Iguodala had stood up. Although he had the impression that Iguodala's points seemed to be getting lower and lower, what if his Zhang San's wings also slapped Iguodala in the face, pushing Iguodala towards a completely different growth path?

After playing a few more rounds, Zhang Yang understood the reason for Iguodala's scoring surge - sacrificing defense.

Even though Iguodala had a career-high in steals at the start, his defense mostly turned into a gamble and he was no longer as sticky as before, and he often lost his position because of risky steals!

Iguodala doesn't have the physical strength or energy to fully handle scoring, organizing offense, and defending!
If it was Zhang Yang who made the choice, he would choose to sacrifice organizing the offense... But he didn't mean to remind the other party, as they were not familiar with each other.

比赛打得颇为激烈，76人队全新的阵容、全新打法，山猫队防得一般，伊戈达拉23分7板4助攻、安德烈-米勒15分4板9助攻，两人把全队进攻都激活了，路易斯-威廉姆斯拿到17分2助攻、戴勒姆波特10分、威利-格林14分3助攻，还有两名侧翼球员双双拿到9分……76人队全队拿到104分。

But the 76ers' perimeter defense was poor. At the beginning, they relied on Dalembert's tough rim protection and Reggie Evans's rebounding. Their interior defense was pretty good, but after Zhang Yang, Hill and Felton's bombardment from the outside, the 76ers' interior defense was also gone.

张杨21投12中，其中三分球5中2，加上5中5的罚球，拿到31分5板3助攻1盖帽。

希尔加入新球队后首次得分上双，拿到17分5助攻，费尔顿16分6助攻，加上奥卡福的21分11板……山猫队以111比104有惊无险地击败76人队，开局4连胜！

Iguodala's statistics are better than before, and he has become the core of the team he always dreamed of, but it is so tiring to play... He was abused by the bad boy Jack again tonight!

The next morning, Zhang Yang returned to Charlotte with the team. As soon as he got home, he received good news - the first Player of the Week award of the new season came earlier than in previous seasons!

首个比赛周，山猫队4战全胜，张杨场均34.5分4板2.5助攻1抢断1.75盖帽，其中有1场单场50分，拿下东部周最佳球员奖！
