Chapter 18 Offensive Rebounding
Spoelstra, who knows this clearly, is even more afraid of failure, even if it is a regular season failure.
This is a very realistic thing. No matter what the problem is, only victory can tell everything.
Spoelstra knew this truth very well, so he put his hope on Wang Dapao.
The Heat's problem is very clear. The Big Three are not running-in enough and the inside strength is too weak.
The former takes time to solve the problem, while the latter depends on what Wang Dapao has.
"Wang Dapao!"
Thinking of this, Spoelstra no longer hesitated and immediately shouted at Wang Dapao who was watching the game happily off the court, "You are ready to go on the court!"
"Ga?" Wang Dapao was stunned for a moment, not yet reacted.
In fact, not only him, but also other players around him, as well as assistant coaches and others were stunned.
At this time, the game was only in the middle of the second quarter, and the main players of both sides were on the court. Spoelstra actually wanted Wang Dapao to play at this critical moment. No one could react at once.
"Okay!" Wang Dapao's reaction was quite fast. After a moment of stunnedness, he immediately responded, with an excited face on his face.
Wang Dapao was a little shocked when he participated in the NBA for the first time. Although the basketball court was much smaller than football, the number of spectators was much smaller, but looking around, there were also many spectators in this game.
The American Airlines Stadium, which can accommodate 19,000 people, has been able to attend more than 90% since it welcomed the Big Three. The audience looked extremely lively and gave Wang Dapao an extremely shocking feeling.
"I didn't expect that I could play in such a place!" Wang Dapao was sitting off the court and just as he thought of this, he heard Spolstral calling him.
Excitedly, the King of Earth Cannon dropped his coat and got up on the sidelines.
On the other hand, the game on the court continued, and the substitution needed a dead ball to be played, so few people noticed the actions of Wang Dapao, a rather strange fat man.
"The Heat missed a three-pointer from the outside. Today, the Heat's three-pointer was a bit inaccurate. Miller and Jones, what are you doing?" The Heat's DJ said with some disappointment. As the Heat's DJ, of course, he is facing his own team. The team is now in a passive situation on the court, and the DJ couldn't help but feel a little irritable when commenting. "Let's all cheer for the team together! The Heat! let's'sgoheat!"
But it is obvious that if the team can play well with the DJ alone, there is no need to sign so many big-name stars every year, just find an excellent DJ.
No matter how DJ works, the Heat's disadvantage has been slow to be restored.
Kirilianko missed a three-pointer from the outside, but the rebound was grabbed by Jefferson. Jefferson, who grabbed the rebound, jumped up and dunked. Seeing that the situation was not good, Big Z immediately grabbed Jefferson. It would be fine. If the dunk was made to raise morale at this time, it would be even more difficult for the Heat to play.
Hearing the whistle of the foul, Wang Dapao was immediately excited and ran to the court happily. At the same time, the assistant referee also signaled to make a substitution.
Seeing Wang Dapao appear on the court, the audience on the court immediately made waves of whispers.
The DJ on the stage was also a little surprised.
"We saw that the Heat have replaced it, and this time it was an Asian player." DJ's tone was a little confused. "Professional fans should all know that just yesterday, the Heat had just announced the news that they had sacked a player and signed a Chinese player. I think this guy is the Chinese player. He only got a short contract of ten days."
"We all know that China's basketball level has always been far lower than that of the United States. I'm curious. Has Spolstra really thought about it when he replaced a Chinese player at this time?"
Wang Dapao could hear the suspicion and disdain in DJ's words clearly, and many fans on the court could also hear it clearly. Many people followed DJ's emotions. When he heard DJ say this, a boo suddenly rang out on the court.
Boosing players on their team at home is not common, it is really not common.
Spoelstra and Haslem suddenly felt aroused. They were very worried that there were too many players on the court who performed abnormally due to the interference of fans. No one knew whether Wang Dapao could withstand such a harsh environment. If he was affected, it would undoubtedly be a step further for the current Heat!
Listening to the DJ's words, Wang Dapao's nose was almost skewed. "Damn! You dare to underestimate me!" The booed fans in his ears were like tar on fire, making Wang Dapao even more popular. "Okay, let me flash your dog's eyes! See if I can do it!"
Jefferson executed the free throw. It was normal before the first free throw was substituted. He made a steady free throw, but the second one was because the fans went to boo Wang Dapao, and he couldn't hear the booing to him. Suddenly he was a little uncomfortable and missed the free throw.
"My rebound!" Wang Dapao, who was already a little red-eyed, didn't care that Bosh was about to touch the rebound's hands. With his abnormal 99 bounce, he took off the basketball from Bosh's head.
Bosh almost had a crooked nose, "Damn, you are fighting with me for hair all the time?" What made Bosh even more speechless was that Wang Dapao, who grabbed the rebound, did not pass the ball to the point guard, but stuffed it to himself. "Give me the ball, what did you do with me just now?"
The extremely depressed Bosh passed the ball to Wade and ran to the half. There was basically nothing Bosh had to do in this game. Millsap and Jefferson, two short and thick guys, fully demonstrated how to play in the lower set of solid inside. A skilled player like Bosh was squeezed over in the inside like a ball, and was not in a state of no matter what. It had been a quarter and a half game. Bosh only scored 4 points so far, and only hit one ball in four shots. The remaining two points were scored by free throws.
After Wade took the ball, he also had a headache when he saw the Jazz returning to defense. Although the Jazz were not tall, his defensive ability was not weak, and it was not easy to rush into the inside in front of them. So after Wade shook away the outside player who was defending him, he chose to jump shot from the middle distance.
As soon as the ball was shot, Wade suddenly broke out in his heart, and the ball missed it!
"Rebound!" Wade subconsciously shouted this sentence, and then realized that the Heat are no longer the Heat who had O'Neal and Mourning back then. The ability to rebound can be said to be at the bottom of the league. The possibility of such offensive rebounds is too low.
Shaking his head in disappointment, Wade turned around and prepared to return to defense.
But at this moment, Wade suddenly heard a burst of exclamations around him, accompanied by DJ's somewhat surprised screams.
"No. 38! No. 38 grabbed the offensive rebound! Great!"
Wade turned around in shock, but found that the fat man who was less than 2 meters was still floating in the air at this time, and what he was holding was the rebound that Wade was no longer preparing for!
"Damn! This guy is dancing so fucking high!" This was the only thought in his mind at this time.
Especially Millsap, he knew very well that he had just gotten stuck in the position. According to his usual routine, it was impossible for this guy to grab a rebound.
But now this guy who is still flying in the air has told Millsap with facts that his position just now has no effect at all.
Wang Dapao, who grabbed the basketball, looked at the basket that was so close to him, and his little thoughts instantly became alive.
"At such a close distance, I should be fine if I dunk it?"
Wang Dapao, who fantasized about the scene where he dunked the basketball into the basket with great domineering attitude, did not hesitate and directly grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it towards the basket.
"Boom!" The huge voice scared Jefferson and Millsap, and also scared the reporters sitting next to the basket rack to death. Everyone would think that the rebound would be torn by this girl!
But what shocked Wang Dapao was that his extremely domineering patch was actually knocked away.
After the basketball hit the basket vigorously, it flew high into the sky because of the rebound force. Wang Dapao, who failed to dunk, landed on the ground in a mess and almost fell down.
"Ah!" DJ shouted in extreme disappointment: "It's a pity that this patch was not in. However, this fat man from China does not seem to be as useless as we imagined..." Speaking of this, DJ's words suddenly stopped, and then suddenly rose high, "He jumped up and pulled!"
Jefferson and Millsap stared at the basketball flying high in the sky. Bosh was stuck on the periphery. Wang Dapao, who almost fell down, was not enough. The rebound was steadily able to fall in his hands! Both of them thought so.
But just as they estimated the time when the basketball fell and jumped at the same time, a fat body jumped up at the same time. Not only that, this body seemed to have just squeezed gently in the air. In an instant, Millsap and Jefferson couldn't maintain balance in the air and fell to both sides at the same time.
"This rebound is still mine!" Wang Dapao shouted, forcibly used his strength to squeeze out the two outstanding inside players, and once again put the rebound in his arms!
"Get the rebound again! This Wang Dapao did a beautiful job! Jefferson and Millsap both jumped up this time, and it was unstable at this time. Wang Dapao only needed a light shot and the basketball would enter the basket!" DJ couldn't help but shouted excitedly. How long has it been! How long hasn't you seen the Heat grab the offensive rebound like this at home?
Since O'Neal left and Mooning retired, the Heat have never been so domineering in offensive rebounds! DJ, who has worked in the American Airlines Arena for many years, couldn't help but think of that wonderful time.
Then, in DJ's extremely excited eyes, Wang Dapao raised his hand to shoot.
Chapter completed!
