When the roster was announced, the U.S. men’s basketball team also used a slogan: Next.Dream!

This can be translated into many meanings. It can be said to be chasing dreams again, or it can be understood as the dream team setting sail again.

But the meaning is actually very obvious, which is to continue to win the London Olympics championship and let the American men's basketball team dominate world basketball again.

As for Durant, he is not indispensable in the eyes of the American Basketball Association.

Even without him, the Spanish team and the Chinese team, which were previously expected to challenge the Dream Team's status, are far worse on paper than the Dream Team.

"We have a chance."

Lin Ying knew some things that Yi Jianlian didn't know, so he was much more confident than Yi Jianlian.

Moreover, the international arena is not an NBA arena. This has been verified many times in the past.

If Durant really doesn't go, the chance will be even greater.

Both he and Yao Ming would risk everything.

…

AmericanAirlines Arena is one of the most famous arenas in the NBA (note the difference between the Suns' home court) and its major feature is that it is built directly on the seaside.

When you come to watch the game, you can also enjoy the sea view, so this is also one of my favorite locations for concerts.

Swift's second stage concert was also held here.

The stadium was full on the night of the game, and the fans were enthusiastic.

Since Wade led the team to their first championship in 2006, the Heat's popularity in Miami has exploded.

In the following years, the team's performance remained stagnant, and its popularity also declined.

But with the addition of two superstars, Anthony and Howard, and the team's outstanding performance so far this season, the popularity has returned to its peak again.

Howard and Anthony's big-headed KT boards can be seen everywhere.

The enthusiasm of the fans is really like the girls on the beach in Miami, extremely passionate.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans around him, Lin Ying felt that James' choice of Miami was not much different in history.

Then, he walked over and had sex with Swift.

Today, Swift is still wearing a khaki trench coat and stockings, but today the stockings have lace and she also wears a pair of red high heels.

After Christmas night, Swift's feeling seemed to change from pure to sexy all of a sudden.

Lin Ying's abilities are greatly underestimated.

At this time, the scene was storyboarding Lin Ying and Anthony, but the result was a scene where the two were disgusted.

Everyone passively ate a handful of dog food.

But the fans' eyes were unconsciously looking at the large LED screen.

Men envy Lin Ying, and women envy Swift.

Moreover, the on-site storyboard also shows the performance of Lin Ying and Anthony so far this season.

Lin Ying averaged 26.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game;

Anthony averaged 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game;

Both are now favorites for MVP.

After talking to Swift, Augustine and Caron Butler from the Heat came over one after another to chat with Lin Ying for a while.

One is a teammate who won a championship together in college, and the other is a teammate who won a championship together in the Suns.

Anthony frowned slightly when he saw this. Why are there always Lin Ying's acquaintances around him?

After the opening ceremony, the lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Nets: Deron, Jimmy Butler, Lin Ying, Joe Johnson, Petro

Heat: Augustin, Billups, Caron Butler, Anthony, Howard

Having tasted the benefits of playing the Knicks before, this small lineup has become a part of Avery Johnson's tactical arsenal.

Howard jumped to get the ball for the Heat and the game officially started.

The Heat had the upper hand in the opening game.

Chandler can't play, and Howard's advantage in the paint is very obvious.

Petro was like a lonely boat swept by the strong wind in the waves, and Howard was the strong wind.

Anthony's offensive status is also quite hot, and he succeeded in consecutive singles against Joe Johnson.

And he has changed a bit from the Nuggets period. Jump shots without the ball have become one of the main offensive weapons in his arsenal.

The two men were like two heavy punches, and under the command of Billups, the brain, they launched a series of beautiful combination punches.

Back on the defensive end, Howard covered the three-second zone by himself, and the rest of the Heat only had to defend frantically from the outside.

There is a reason why the Heat are performing well this season.

Today just happened to catch up with Deron's poor outside touch. The Heat only need to guard against Lin Ying and Johnson's shots, and the defensive end is simpler.

The performance of this period also exposed the weaknesses of Avery Johnson's offensive tactics.

Playing alone is not a problem, but playing alone is a big problem.

After the first quarter, the Nets trailed the Heat by 10 points, 24-34.

Moreover, it rained all night, and center Petrolo was fouled three times in a single quarter while guarding Howard. The situation inside was grim.

During the break, Heat head coach Spoelstra was all smiles when he was being interviewed.

Of the Heat's opponents in the Eastern Conference, except for the Bulls, who are not easy to beat, they all have advantages.

If this situation continues, the Heat have a very high chance of breaking out of the Eastern Conference this year.

Lin Ying was sitting on the sidelines at this time, thinking about how to play in the second quarter.

If that doesn't work, he can only try to be more selfish and rely on his own strong attacks to drive the team's offense.

At the start of the second quarter, there were substitutes on both sides of the court.

Heat: Ty Lawson, J.R. Smith, James Jones, Udonis Haslem, Joel Anthony

Nets: Gaines, Joe Johnson, Shane Battier, Yi Jianlian, Sheldon Williams

When the Nets attacked, Johnson was flanked while holding the ball.

Spoelstra is a video analyst-turned-coach, and he is one of the best coaches in the league in preparing for games.

By watching the video, he discovered that the Nets bench scored less points with the ball in the transition period, so as long as the ball was forced out of Johnson's hands, the defense was half successful.

Facts also proved that his response was correct. Once the ball was in Gaines' hands, the Nets' offense seemed to be somewhat stagnant.

In a panic, Gaines made a mistake in handling the ball, and the pass was directly intercepted by Lawson.

After receiving the ball, JR Smith ran to the frontcourt and directly performed a 360° windmill that ignited the audience.

As one of the members of the first generation 91 group, Smith is still the same boy as before!

Moreover, he has just finished his CBA journey and returned to the NBA, seamlessly entering the NBA.

Avery Johnson turned to the end of the bench and called Jeremy Lin up.

He is a defensive coach, so he has relatively high defensive requirements for his players. Jeremy Lin has been in the Development League because of defensive problems.

However, after this period of time, Gaines has proved that he does not have the ability to rotate in a strong team, and the transaction with the management is still progressing.

So during this vacuum period, Jeremy Lin happened to be performing well in the Development League and once led the team to a triple-double to win. He pulled Jeremy Lin up to start the game.

Jeremy Lin was so excited that he even forgot to take off his training clothes when he started running for the first time.

When Johnson frowned, he realized what he was doing and ran back to take off his clothes again.

"Relax a little."

Lin Ying was brought back from his thoughts by this scene. He looked at Jeremy Lin and said with a smile.

Jeremy Lin nodded and quickly trotted towards the technical table.

Because Chinese Americans are rarer than yellow people in the NBA, and there is nothing worth mentioning on this field, the commentator also introduced Jeremy Lin's resume in detail.

Coming from a university that is little known in the basketball world (Harvard University);

Ran for election in 2010 but lost;

Afterwards, he represented the Mavericks and played perhaps the most glorious summer league game of his career. He was equally matched with Wall, the No. 1 pick at the time, and even had a slight advantage in speed. He was subsequently signed by the Warriors and became the first Chinese-American player to land in the NBA. He was Because of being noticed;

In his rookie season with the Warriors, he averaged 2.6 points and 1.4 assists per game. His performance was unremarkable and he was waived before the start of this year's season;

Then he signed with the Rockets. After a bad season, the Rockets obviously wanted to use his Chinese identity to retain some attention from across the ocean, but it turned out that he was embarrassingly useless and was immediately waived again.

It is a miracle that a player with a resume that can be said to be a standard backup player still gets a chance with the Nets.

So after introducing the background, the two commentators discussed why Deron was not in good condition tonight.

The final conclusion was that the Joe Johnson trade made the Nets' bench depth very weak, and Gaines' embarrassing use caused Deron to play more minutes and become overtired.
