儘管在本賽季的大部分時間都與交易傳聞有關，邁阿密熱火隊前鋒小傑米·賈克斯仍然昂首挺胸，排除噪音，做好自己的工作。

結果呢？對三年級球員來說這是反彈的一年。儘管熱火隊在入圍賽中慘敗給夏洛特黃蜂隊後未能晉級季後賽，但賈克斯表明他可以成為南海灘的常客。

雅克斯場均替補出場 28.3 分鐘，得到職業生涯最高的 15.4 分、50.7% 的投籃命中率、5.0 個籃板、4.7 次助攻，這與他經歷了所謂的大二低迷的第二個賽季相比有了顯著的飛躍。

根據《邁阿密先驅報》的巴里傑克遜報道，熱火隊主教練埃里克·斯波爾斯特拉並沒有忽視賈克斯的進步，他指出了這位頑固前鋒比賽中的一個關鍵方面。

「他度過了一個偉大的反彈賽季。去年夏天他去工作，然後回來，給我們帶來了一個非常有影響力的賽季。就他進入油漆區並為我們創造東西的能力而言，他是我們最重要的球員之一。我也喜歡他提高傳球的方式，」斯波爾斯特拉說。

史波斯查一直喜歡使用多才多藝、身材高大的球員，而 25 歲的雅克斯就符合這種模式。

儘管熱火隊的側翼輪換陣容很多，其中還包括安德魯·維金斯、諾曼·鮑威爾、尼古拉·約維奇和西蒙娜·豐泰基奧，但他還是贏得了上場時間。

他值得稱讚的競選活動可以為他贏得一些年度最佳第六人的選票，儘管雅克斯對自己的機會感到謙虛。

這位前加州大學洛杉磯分校球星在周二對陣黃蜂隊的比賽中表現出色，拿下 13 分、6 個籃板和 8 次助攻。

The Miami Heat suffered a tough 123-122 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday night, as the team looks to end its four-game losing streak against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. As fans wait for some injury updates for the Heat ahead of their clash against the Spurs, stars like Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have received big news.

Starting with Wiggins, he has been upgraded to “probable” for Monday night’s game against the Spurs with a “left big toe”;
Sesamoiditis,” as he missed the last eight games.

Wiggins has been a mainstay in the starting lineup, serving as an impressive two-way player, as he is currently averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game, while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from beyond the arc. The veteran forward has been productive since being traded to the Golden State Warriors in the Jimmy Butler deal and is working well with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.

Summer injury update on Jaime Jacquez Jr., Norman Powell

While Wiggins is likely to return Monday, the same can be said for Jaquez, who has missed the last two games due to “left hip tightness” and is “probable” for Monday vs. the Spurs. Jacquez’s presence as the Heat’s first player off the bench has been overlooked because of how well he has come back from his sophomore slump, putting his name in Sixth Man of the Year talks.

So far this season, Jacquez has averaged 15 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, while shooting 50 percent from the field. Wiggins and Jacquez are most likely to return, with Norman Powell’s status up in the air after missing from the Rockets due to “left calf tightness.”

Powell came off the bench in last Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, potentially showcasing a new direction for the first-time All-Star. The Heat are looking to bounce back from the loss to Houston thanks to the return of Amen Thompson, though it won’t be easy with Wembanyama and San Antonio in town on Monday.

MIAMI – The Miami Heat are trying to make a playoff run with 12 games left in the season after Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, with the team still dealing with injuries to key players like Jaime Jacquez Jr. and Andrew Wiggins. As the Heat prepare for the matchup to end the season, head coach Erik Spoelstra spoke on the updates he has for both impact players as the team looks to solidify their spot in the Eastern Conference.

Heat’s Erik Spoelstra provides update on Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jacquez Jr.

Starting with Wiggins, facing the Lakers on Thursday marks the seventh consecutive contest the veteran forward has missed as he deals with an injury listed as “Left Big Toe; Sesamoiditis.” Wiggins is a mainstay in Miami’s starting lineup, providing the team with a consistent two-way effort that works well offensively with Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and others.

This season, Wiggins is averaging 15.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. In his absence, Spoelstra would say the team is “encouraged” by Wiggins’ recovery process.

“He’s making progress, he’s not ready to go tonight. He’s still got a ways to go, but we’re encouraged by the progress he’s made over the last few days,” Spoelstra said before the Heat took on the Lakers.

As for Jaquez, he will be listed for Thursday’s game due to “left hip tightness,” a problem sustained during Tuesday’s 136-106 loss to the Charlotte Hornets in Miami. His importance cannot be underestimated as Jacquez has been one of the leading candidates for Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 15 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, while shooting 50 percent from the field.

Spoelstra would say he’ll be labeled “day-to-day.”

“It happened in the game, but he’s already had a lot of treatment. He’s starting to feel better. So take it day by day,” Spoelstra said.

Erik Spoelstra speaks on the injuries to Jaime Jacquez Jr. and Andrew Wiggins, who are both out.

Jaime’s hip problem remained in Tuesday’s game, “day-to-day.”

Erik Spoelstra on “big test” for the Heat

While the Heat absolutely want to see how well they can operate before the postseason, the team may not get enough time to see what a fully healthy Miami team looks like. Since there will be 12 games after the Lakers contest, it cannot be said for sure when Wiggins will return with Jacquez, making it difficult to evaluate the team.

Either way, Spoelstra told ClutchPoints that the “big test” is overcoming the home stretch of the season against other teams that have similar goals.

“I mean, the big test is, you know, how we raise our game and spirit and level of competition against teams that are playing for something, at least in our near future,” Spoelstra said. “And, you know, that’s when people say they’ve always wanted that, and now we have it. But we always say it’s just for the competitors, and other teams, you know, competing and bringing their best game. So it’s just a matter of facing that level of competition and finding a way to get to another level.”

At any rate, Miami looks to take the remaining games remaining in the regular season and accomplish the goal they are striving for, which is to avoid the play-in tournament. After being in the tournament for the last three seasons and finishing as the eighth seed, the Heat are looking to move up to at least sixth place.

Entering Thursday against the Lakers, Miami is 38-31, in seventh place in the East, just a half-game behind the Orlando Magic, who hold the coveted sixth spot.

With the Miami Heat getting a crucial 128-120 win against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, the team will be led by star performances from Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Just as Herro’s sensational night for the Heat set the tone with Adebayo, it would be Jaime Jacquez Jr.’s performance that was eye-opening in more ways than one.

While Jacquez has had an impressive third season, making him one of the candidates for the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award, the 25-year-old has recently displayed a new aspect that could be a permanent part of his game. As the UCLA product finished the game with 21 points on eight of 13 shooting from the field with four assists and two rebounds, he also made four of six shots from three-point range.

This will be the second time this month that Jaquez has made more than one three-point shot in a game, the last time Jaquez made multiple deep shots was on Jan. 19, before last Tuesday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets where he made two. Friday saw Jacquez get hot from beyond the arc, as his game involves getting into the paint or downhill from mid-range, he will be asked if he is specifically focusing on his deep shooting.

“No, not really. I’m just trying to continue my game,” Jacquez said via the team’s YouTube page. “And if I get shots, I just shoot them. I work on my threes every day. It’s something I constantly try to get better at. And shooting is not linear. You’ll have ups, you’ll have ups and downs… so just keep shooting with confidence.”

Heat’s Erik Spoelstra on Jaime Jacquez Jr.’s improvement

While the Heat is preparing for the playoffs, the team invites Jacquez to add another aspect to his game, but the player himself will say that this season, he focused too much on his three-point shot during the fall of his sophomore year. His strength is his downhill attack, if the three ball can be complimentary, it could work in Jaquez’s favor as head coach Erik Spoelstra talked about this improvement.

“I think it’s just a byproduct of Jaime being a great competitor. Does that mean he’s going to shoot four-on-six every night? I don’t know, but he wants to make an impact. And you have a game that feels like, Jaime is going to put his fingerprints on the game in some way or another,” Spoelstra said.

At any rate, Jaquez and Miami will look to continue that in the next game on Sunday against the Detroit Pistons.

随着迈阿密热火队在周五晚上以 128-120 战胜夏洛特黄蜂队，球队将在泰勒·希罗和巴姆·阿德巴约的明星表现的带领下取得胜利。当赫罗和阿德巴约为热火队的精彩夜晚定下基调时，小海梅·雅克斯的表现在很多方面都令人大开眼界。

虽然雅克斯在第三个赛季中表现出了影响力，并成为 NBA 年度最佳第六人奖的候选人之一，但这位 25 岁的球员最近展示了一个新的一面，这可能会成为他比赛中永久的一部分。这位来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的球员全场比赛13投8中得到21分，外加4次助攻和2个篮板，三分球6投4中。

这将是雅克斯本月第二次在一场比赛中投进超过 1 个三分球，上周二战胜布鲁克林篮网队的比赛中，他投进了两记三分球。上一次雅克斯多次投进三分球是在 1 月 19 日。周五，雅克斯在三分线外变得火热，虽然他的比赛包括在内线或中距离下坡，但人们会问他是否特别专注于他的远投。

“不，不是真的。我只是想继续打我的比赛，”贾克斯在球队的 YouTube 页面上说道。 “如果我得到了投篮机会，我就投篮。我每天都在训练我的三分球。这是我不断努力提高的事情。投篮不是线性的。你会遇到挫折，你会遇到挫折……所以只要继续充满信心地投篮。”

热火队的埃里克·斯波尔斯特拉谈小杰米·贾克斯的进步

当热火队准备冲击季后赛时，球队邀请贾克斯为他的比赛增添另一个方面，但球员本人会说，进入本赛季，他在大二低迷期间过于专注于三分球。由于他的强项是下坡进攻，如果三球可以补充，那么它可能会对雅克斯有利，因为主教练埃里克·斯波尔斯特拉谈到了这一改进。

“我认为这只是海梅成为一名伟大竞争者的副产品。这是否意味着他每晚都会投出六投四中的投篮？我不知道，但他想产生影响。而你有一场感觉就像这样的比赛，海梅将以某种方式在比赛中留下自己的印记，”斯波尔斯特拉说。

无论如何，贾克斯和迈阿密希望在周日对阵底特律活塞队的下一场比赛中继续保持下去。
