Marbury didn't believe it and tried again. After calling Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, he rushed toward the basket.
This time he paid close attention to Woody's position. As long as Woody made a move, he would immediately give the ball to his opponent Marion. Marion and he have played with him for several seasons, and they have a certain understanding of each other.
Tacit understanding and decisive movement towards the three-point line.
Although the shooting posture is not good-looking, Marion has a good three-pointer.
The average three-point shooting percentage per game is as high as 34%!
In this era, this is already a very good three-point shooting percentage.
Especially for the No. 4 player.
Woody noticed Marion's movement, and he didn't lean toward the basket this time.
But the help defense at position 4 was restrained, and at position 3, Gerald Wallace "came from the sky" and successfully interfered with Marbury's layup.
Johnson looked at the Heat's defensive configuration on the wing and couldn't help but cursed:
"abnormal!"
Stoudemire grabbed the position very well this time.
Even though his tonnage is not as heavy as Grant's, and as a second-year player, he doesn't have much experience in positioning, but his motor nerves are indeed well developed. It is impossible for him to be suppressed by Grant every time.
"Snapped!"
It's just that Stoudemire also encountered the same embarrassment as Marion just now.
Just as he was about to hit the rebound, Woody rushed in from the side and grabbed the ball in his arms in advance.
This goal caused exclamations from the audience.
No matter how "hacky" Marion is, his height is only 2.01 meters. Woody is 2.05 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.20 meters. His dynamic talent is not inferior, and his static talent is still superior. The fight just now had a far greater visual impact.
It would be better to face Stoudemire who is 2.08 meters tall right now.
He can get a head start on the ball. How good is this newcomer at jumping?
Stoudemire failed to grab the rebound and looked unconvinced.
"Stop it, stop it!"
Johnson stood on the sidelines and yelled anxiously, and Marion also hurriedly followed up. Woody failed to pass the ball out immediately, and the Heat failed to make a fast break this time.
"whispering sound!"
Woody was slightly annoyed because his ball control and passing abilities were still too low.
Otherwise, no matter what, he would be able to give the ball away before Marion touches him.
But Stan Van Gundy quickly clapped his hands and shouted to him in a hoarse voice: "Just protect the backboard. It's okay if you don't have a chance. Take your time, take your time!"
If an 18-year-old rookie could do what he did just now in every possession, from grabbing defensive rebounds to switching offense in one go, then he would no longer be a rookie, but would be a real monster.
Because even Jason Kidd, the most stable "fast break player" in the league, can't handle every fast break round well.
It will always be restricted in certain rounds.
This is a league with more than 400 of the best basketball players. How can it be so easy to stand out?
Moreover, Woody showed off enough when he came back in the second quarter, protecting the rebounds in front of Marion and Stoudemire. Their average rebounds per game are around 10, which, if not the top, is still top-notch in the league.
.
Originally, before the game started, Stan Van Gundy thought his rebound count would be blown away.
Although Woody's performance in rebounding in the first four games was good, he didn't think Woody could stand up to the two "rebound monsters" of the Suns.
But now it seems that he is superficial!
There are some "rebound monsters" in this league that cannot be measured by age.
The ball reaches the frontcourt, and Wade holds the ball and hits Marbury alone. This trick was very useful in the first quarter, and it is the same now.
Marbury, who was born in street ball, has poor defensive awareness, let alone defensive habits.
Coupled with the differences in strength and physique, it was no longer a question of whether he struggled on the defensive end tonight, it was a torture.
Angry, he pulled Wade and sent him to the free throw line.
There were cheers at the scene.
Wade made a solid hit on the first shot, but unfortunately missed the second free throw.
There was some regret at the scene. If this goal had been scored, it would have been a 10-point difference.
Wade also felt a little sorry.
But when he saw a man rushing out from the right side of the free throw line, he rushed forward and hit Marion with a "one-pillar-to-the-sky" style.
"Boom!"
The cheers were loud!
Unfortunately, the referee blew the whistle and awarded Woody a foul for rebounding.
The cheers immediately turned to boos:
“referee sucks!”
“referee sucks!”
“referee sucks!”
…
From this unified scolding, you can see how dissatisfied these Heat fans are!
If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be so excited about this penalty. So far in this game, the whistle is quite fair and just. But the problem is that the person who dunked is Woody!
Woody, who loves Miami so much and wants to give Heat fans different treatment, has been unfairly punished. How can they sit idly by?
We really don’t think we have fans in Miami, do we?
Brand, the Heat's team reporter, wrote in his notebook: Woody is using a very new way to conquer Miami fans!
In the four games of the new season so far, has Woody’s performance been outstanding?
there must be!
In his career debut, he scored "20 plus 10 plus 5", which broke the Heat's rookie debut record.
After that, he also scored "double-doubles" in a row, and the number of consecutive games came to 4 without even realizing it. Without even checking, you can know that this must have broken the record for Miami rookies again.
But the performance of these four games can only be said to be outstanding, but it has not reached the level of detonating the entire league.
But Miami, which doesn't have a strong NBA atmosphere, has already fallen in love with this Chinese rookie!
Thinking about it carefully, Brand probably knows the reason:
Woody him!
Not a human being, no, he is too good at being a human being!
This foul did not affect anything. Originally, the ball belonged to the Suns, and Woody just received the first foul of the game.
But the shouting and cursing at the scene made the Heat players on the court suddenly ignited.
The Suns' defense is a little more oppressive!
Marbury handed the ball to Joe Johnson, allowing him to hold the ball in singles and open up the situation from the wing.
But if you look at the data, you will find that Joe Johnson did not play very comfortably tonight, and Eddie Jones' defense made him uncomfortable. Even though he has begun to decline from his peak, Jones' defensive ability is still the best in the league.
First class standard.
His biggest problem is that he has no competitive spirit and his desire for a championship is not strong.
Therefore, when he became an All-Star player in his early years, he was unable to take a step further.
In his opinion, his position is high enough!
But tonight, or in other words, Jones, who received 12.27 million, knows very well what kind of emotion he wants to convey to this team as a veteran, so since the new season, he has worked hard on the court in every game.
There is a saying that "money can make people push and push ghosts". Once the money is in place, how can the enthusiasm not be in place?
Continuous testing failed to find a good offensive opportunity, but the offensive time was running out. Joe Johnson simply took a "drag step" and pulled to the right, then forced a breakthrough and forced Jones to retreat. When Jones was retreating, "in & out"
After the technical connection, step back and take action quickly.
Continuous use of skills, smooth flow, but unfortunately when Jones stepped back, his center of gravity did not tilt back. He anticipated Joe Johnson's thoughts, reached out in time to block it, and successfully interfered!
"Bang!"
The ball bounced out of the box!
"Hoo!"
Stoudemire seemed to be used to Grant's blocking habit. He once again successfully got rid of Grant and took the first step to get the rebound in his hands.
This time, even Woody was a step slower!
This is……
Offensive rebound!
Stoudemire didn't hesitate at all, twisted his body and shot up from the basket.
Continuous jumping ability is also one of his most outstanding areas of talent.
Many of his goals were accomplished by getting up from the basket!
However, this is normal. Otherwise, why would the media call Woody the "enhanced version of Stoudemire"?
Enhanced version of Stoudemire?
He, tui!
Today I will let you see how far this "pirated copy" is from the "genuine Stoudemire"!
Without saying a word, Stoudemire made a "second takeoff" and shot up from the basket. Even though Woody was right next to him, this was the reason why he didn't hesitate at all. He wanted everyone to see clearly:
There is also a difference between projectile velocity and projectile velocity!
This guy can dance really well, right?
Then let me show you someone who can dance better...
"Well?"
Stoudemire jumped up with all his strength, but when he twisted his body ambitiously and looked up for the basket, he realized that there was a big hand waiting directly above him.
"Snapped!"
The huge slapping sound caused the whole audience to scream!
An incredible scene appeared on the big screen:
Stoudemire, who jumped up in advance, was about to raise his hand to hit the ball into the basket. Woody, who was a few tenths of a second slower than him, arrived first. He was stunned to raise his hand before him.
, slapping the ball from his hand.
A wonderful shot under the basket!
Johnson was stunned.
As the head coach of the Suns, he knows very well how abnormal Stoudemire's ability to get up from the basket is. This is entirely because he has an invincible pair of "spring legs." However, as far as this ball is concerned, his "spring legs" are not up to par.
Dee's pair of "spring legs" are truly "invincible"!
The Heat fans have a deeper understanding of Woody's bullet speed!
They only knew that Woody's bullet speed was abnormal, but they really didn't expect that he was so abnormal!
Only Marion was a little less surprised.
Because just now he felt that this newcomer from China seemed to be able to dance better.
No, is this the time to think about this?
He hurried up and fought for the ball that Woody hit on the backboard.
But the next scene made the already shocked fans even more surprised:
Woody landed and actually jumped up again, knocking Marion's sure-win rebound away. Grant on the side became the final owner of the rebound.
How good is he at dancing!
Marion is a bit broken...
He has never seen anyone who can dance like this!
It’s really unscientific!
But a familiar figure appears in the minds of the older generation of Heat fans: the one wearing a Bulls uniform with a colorful "bull nose" on his head!
That guy filled them with hatred at the beginning, but now having such a guy left only one word in their hearts...
Cool!
The atmosphere on the sidelines could no longer be controlled, and cheers continued.
It's a pity that Grant has no passing ability, and the Heat can't run a fast break at all.
Woody noticed this situation, raised his right hand above his head, and made the move that all Heat fans were waiting for:
he……
It's "shaking"!
This time, it was really like an atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, instantly blowing up a "mushroom cloud" in the American Airlines Arena.
The atmosphere completely shifted towards the Heat. The Suns' already non-existent defense was as thin as a spider web and could be penetrated with just one poke!
The difference is ten points!
Johnson became anxious and said to the referee: "He just wagged his finger, he wagged his finger!"
The referee acted as if he hadn't seen it and signaled that the game would proceed normally and the Suns would serve.
Woody was stunned. He was ready to be sentenced to a technical foul. Why did the referee...
Stop blowing again?
He was a little confused, but the fans at the scene didn't care why the referee didn't call it. The on-site director played back the shot of Woody wagging his finger over and over again, stimulating them to climax over and over again, and they couldn't stop at all.
Amid their screams, the Heat's offense became even more fierce. After the score difference reached 10 points, it expanded to 16 points in just a few minutes.
Xiaosi is completely anxious!
After taking the initiative to set up a pick-and-roll for Marbury, he walked towards the basket without caring, obviously asking Marbury to "feed" him.
Marbury also saw what he was thinking, and immediately hit the ground, accurately gave the ball to his hands, and took two long steps to the basket.
But his intention was so obvious that even the "stray dogs" on the streets of Miami could see it. Woody and Grant intercepted him in time and jumped almost at the same time as him.
Stoudemire's flexibility is pretty good for a big man of 2.08 meters.
After jumping up, he can actually make a lever with his hands!
Grant's hand was dodged.
But Woody kept an eye on it, and there was a "time difference" with Grant from the beginning. Grant made the first move, and he took the second shot, accurately hitting Stoudemire's ball.
"Two hoods"!
The ball dropped right in front of Woody.
This time Marion was unable to delay the delay in time.
Woody landed on the ground to get the ball, dribbled the ball and made a fast break, all in one go.
The Heat once again successfully played their familiar "anti-counterattack".
When Xiaosi landed, he immediately chased after him.
He is really anxious!
When chasing the ball, he lost his center of gravity, but as he ran forward, he relied on his inner strength to regain his balance. Unfortunately, his explosive power was similar to Woody's, but his speed was not.
He was much slower than Woody. Even if he tried so hard to catch up, he was still two positions behind Woody.
Woody took the lead, but Marbury, who had already retreated, did not dare to come up to intercept, because Wallace on the flank was also "eyeballing". After thinking for a long time, he saw Woody stepping on the free throw line. In the end, Marbury...
Get out of the way decisively!
he……
I'm scared!
There was no way, he felt that if he stepped forward to intercept in the end, he would definitely become the "background" for Woody's dunk.
No need, really no need!
"Boom!"
Flying dunk.
When Woody landed, he arrogantly pulled the rim twice, looking so excited and wild that the female Heat fans on the sidelines couldn't help but spread their legs.
Turning around, he happened to be facing Xiao Si.
Before Woody had any idea, his body was already fighting arrogantly.
Just like Stoudemire last season in the game against the Rockets, after completing a dunk, he headed towards Yao Ming...
This scene once again made domestic fans extremely excited!
But Stoudemire was not someone to be trifled with, and he was already very angry, so he and Woody got into a fight.
The referee hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two people. Since they did not take any action, no technical foul was given. At this time, the league's control standards for technical fouls were still very loose.
However, after this goal, the Heat entered the "anti-counterattack rhythm" that they are best at, and the Suns were completely suppressed. At the end of the game, the Heat defeated the Suns 106-93, 13 points, and defended their home court.
.
Woody also made 11 of 17 shots and 4 of 5 free throws in this "focus game", scoring a career-high 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks.
