Yang Rui flew to Miami again to commentate on the Heat vs. Mavericks game.

In the summer, the Mavericks were recognized as one of the strongest teams. In order to compete for the championship, the Mavericks traded two stars, and Jamison could only play as a substitute. The result was surprising. The Mavericks had a poor start, and countless people questioned Nelson's deal.

In the past, Nelson's on-field philosophy was like a golden touch, causing the value of every player who liked him to soar. This time five offensive players came together, and his Midas touch didn't work either. Both Jamison and Walker's data dropped significantly.

Moreover, the Mavericks have been unable to decide on a starting position at No. 2. Tony Delk, Josh Howard, and Marquis Daniels took turns, and their performances were average.

After the game started, the Mavericks quickly fell into tragedy and were beaten without any temper.

The Heat don't need any complicated tactics at all. Eddie Jones's lob from the side to the low O'Neal is an opportunity.

The Mavericks started with Antoine Walker defending O'Neal, which was a mismatch. He is also a fat man, but Walker is half a head shorter and a little smaller. O'Neal turns around and shoots towards the middle or the baseline. It is useless to hold up, and he can't cover it at all.

Walker cannot play center, and he has always been the starting power forward with the Celtics. Nowitzki is even less likely to play center against O'Neal. If the coach arranges this, he will have a grudge against Nowitzki. It is simply impossible for this Mavericks to defeat the Heat.

Barkley fought with O'Neal, and he admired O'Neal very much after he retired. "As soon as O'Neal joined, the Heat immediately went from the worst team in the Eastern Conference to the first, and the Lakers became the last team in the Western Conference. No one thinks that Kobe and O'Neal are players of the same level now, right?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Eddie Jones's role in the Heat is equally obvious, and Gary Payton is also an outstanding veteran. Wade is very capable of scoring, and he can only play as a substitute in the Heat. In addition, I think the biggest surprise for the Heat is Udonis Haslem, the undrafted player brought in over the summer, is an underrated player."

Haslem unexpectedly became the Heat's starter. He is 203cm tall, weighs 107kg, has strong mobility, is good at guarding pick-and-rolls, and is suitable to partner with O'Neal.

If Yang Rui was responsible for recruiting in the summer, no matter which team he led, Haslem would be recruited into the team, but it is a pity that he missed it. With his performance this season, it is no longer possible to bring Haslem in. The Heat will definitely renew his contract with a high salary.

The Heat are currently ranked first in the league and have only lost two games. Their lineup is super strong and has replaced Yang Rui's position as the Pistons in his previous life. In recent years, they will be the dominant team in the Eastern Conference and the favorite to win the championship.

In addition to the internal and external core, the team's small forward is Caron Butler, who averaged 15 points per game last season; the backup center is the experienced Brian Grant, who has a tough style of play and excellent defense; the Heat also selected in the second round this year Swingman Rasu Butler is also a good three-point shooter.

Power forward Malik Allen, who started 73 games for the Heat last season, can only serve as a substitute this year. In order to ensure three-point firepower, Wade can only play as a substitute and be the team's sixth man.

Discussing the Mavericks, Barkley laughed and said: "Old Nelson's signings are a bit confusing. All teams will sign a meat shield center, but the Mavericks don't even have anyone who can resist."

Yang Rui nodded. "After this season, the Mavericks will definitely break up. It will be difficult for them to get past the first round of the playoffs."

Yang Rui didn't say that Nelson was not good. There is no need to say more. The total salary of 79.19 million can only be a formality in the playoffs. Can the head coach continue to do his job?

Nelson has never had a championship in his life, and it can be said that he asked for it. He is famous and has the final say in transactions. Unfortunately, he is wrong.

People say that Cuban is a good boss because he is willing to spend money and the team's salary is very high every year. Unfortunately, he does not have a manager who can use the money correctly.

For Yang Rui, the Mavericks are also a good choice. As long as an excellent center is introduced, this team can rise. Although the Mavericks have no salary space, they have high-quality chips and can complete their rebuilding in the summer.

In the second half, the Mavericks offense also had problems. Players relied too much on shooting.

When they can't hit the basket and feel good when shooting, they are a strong team. Once the shot is not accurate, even the weaklings may not be able to beat it.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 30 points.

Antoine Walker went undercover in this quarter and made 0 of 5 shots. Four of his shots were forced shots from outside the three-point line. His shot selection was extremely bad.

Yang Rui complained harshly to Walker. "As a 110-kilogram insider, he knows how to shoot from the outside. Currently, his career's highest shooting percentage in a single season is only 42%. As long as he is defended by a mobile player who can interfere with the shooting, he will become an idiot. Same. Of course, he is not without his merits. He is very talented in twisting his butt."

Walker likes to twist his huge butt after scoring a goal. His posture and face make people want to flatten him. This is a major characteristic of the NBA.

In the final quarter, both sides sent substitutes. Wade showed off his power and made an unstoppable breakthrough. If it weren't for Jamison and his scoring surge, the Mavericks would have lost this game by more than 40 points.

The two will compete for the Sixth Man of the Year award this year.

Wade felt fine when he first entered the league and followed the coach's arrangements.

Jamison won't be happy about this honor, he just wants to be a starter. He was Carter's boss in college. Now that Carter has all the personal honors, he hasn't even been selected for the All-Star Game.

The Heat won 138-105. The Mavericks can score over 100 points in almost every game, but they also concede over 100 points in every game and are one of the worst defensive teams.

The most disappointing team in the West isn't the Mavericks.

Yang Rui explained the Kings game and complained about their defense. "The Kings' perimeter defense relies solely on Christie. If he can make up for the loopholes, he should be elected the regular season MVP. What's ridiculous is that some people actually think that his declining offensive data is the reason why the Kings lost."

TNT Radio thinks the Kings have a good offense and has arranged many of their games this season, but they have been screwed.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Kings hired Brad Miller. Now that Miller is with the Pacers, Webber is injured, and both ends of the Kings' offense and defense are affected.

Moreover, the Kings do not have Mike Bibby, only Jason Williams is a defensive black hole. After years of hard work, his passing organization is no longer as fancy as it used to be, and there is no improvement in defense.

Stojakovic hit a career high, averaging 24.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He could only lead the team to eighth in the Western Conference, barely qualifying for the playoffs.

The team that has regressed the fastest is undoubtedly the Lakers, ranking 12th in the Western Conference, only better than the Clippers and Warriors.

The Grizzlies have become the biggest dark horse this season, currently ranking third in the Western Conference.

Pau Gasol and Baron Davis form a dual-core inside and outside team; the team has four outstanding swingmen, James Posey, Bunch Wells, Mike Miller, and Shane Battier. The Grizzlies also have spring players like Swift and Lorenzen White inside, as well as experienced veteran Bo Outero, and meat shield center Tsakalidis.

The Grizzlies' only problem is that their performance is not stable enough. They have defeated the Heat and Spurs, and also lost to the Hawks and Lakers.

Many teams in the league have changed, and their strengths and weaknesses are different from what Yang Rui knew in his previous life. He now feels that leaving the Wizards is the right thing to do. The competition this year is extremely fierce. Even if he leads the team to play games, it will be difficult to successfully defend the title. This is a big step. Good times in the city.
