Chapter 504 Purple Gold Battle Robe
When Rondo was very young, the first thing he came into contact with was not basketball, but rugby. The ball just now showed his talent in rugby to the fullest.

"That's okay." The coaching staff "humiliated" the players without conceding a single goal. They planned to challenge Rondo's head coach, but they didn't expect to be shown all over their bodies.

These coaches spent much more time with basketball every day than the players, but no one would have imagined that their touch would be so hot that it was outrageous. They were playing against the strongest outside firepower among the 30 teams in the league.

These players have begun to regret "provoking" the coach.

There has been a saying in the NBA: Don't easily try to challenge the coaches, their abilities are unfathomable.

After the "intra-team confrontation" ended, the Heat returned to the hotel to rest and prepare for the evening game.

Staples was brightly lit at night. Although it was already winter, many enthusiastic spectators came to the arena early and entered the arena ahead of the opening time of the arena.

On a building outside the Staples, there is a preview of the game between the Lakers and the Heat rolling on the wall. This building will become a superstar "screen" tonight, and tonight's game will also be broadcast live on the wall of the building. This may be the largest live "screen" in the world.

The Lakers are also fully prepared for this focus battle. Before the game started, the DJ on the scene started the warm-up session. Exciting slogans and rich introductions set a very strong tone for the upcoming game.

And when the players from both sides entered the field, the whole audience fell into a frenzy. The first one to play was the visiting team, the Miami Heat. The DJ on the scene gave a detailed introduction to the members of the Heat team. This was a treatment that no visiting team at Staples had ever had.

The Heat's substitute players entered the arena first, and the reaction on the spot was not strong, but with the appearance of the main players, the atmosphere of the arena was gradually ignited, especially when introducing the Heat's Big Three, Staples gave thunderous applause.

The Heat have harvested a large number of fans in various cities this season, and Los Angeles is no exception. Almost 1/3 of the audience present this year are Heat players. Such an audience is already very scary for an away team.

The Heat's players gathered together to encourage each other and mobilize their emotions.

Immediately there was even more enthusiastic applause. The owner of Staples and the players of the Los Angeles Lakers entered the arena wearing their golden training uniforms. Although they were also coming off the bench, the cheers had reached a terrifying level. Here they treated every player like a star. Whether it was James or the fringe players of the team, they would all be cheered and surrounded by general cheers.

In contrast, the cheers of the Heat when they entered the court were much weaker, but the popularity of the Big Three was obviously higher than most of the players on the Lakers.

But this kind of popularity only stayed before the appearance of the Big Three of the Lakers. The youngest of the Big Three of the Lakers was Felix. Although Felix was a rookie, his ability in the game was far beyond his age.

Also in the first year, Oscar performed better than Felix in the field, which may be due to the grade. Oscar’s judgment and scoring ability on the field made him the second scorer of the Lakers. He is also the only player on the Lakers who can average 20+ points per game this season.

The most enthusiastic cheers in the audience were of course given to the king of Staples, James, who is currently No.1 in the NBA. I saw him walking steadily and slowly from the player tunnel along the aisle into the field.

Today, the Lakers are wearing the team's most classic home "Purple and Gold jersey". In recent seasons, the Lakers rarely wear this jersey, unless they are in special games, playoffs or important games. This season, the Lakers only wore this jersey twice, one time in the season opener and the other time in the Christmas game.

This battle with the Heat is the third time the Lakers have worn the purple and gold jersey this season, and from this point they have shown how much they attach importance to this game.

James wore Zijin's No. 9 jersey, like a king descending, causing a tsunami.

The Heat played away games, and they also wore a special edition jersey, which is the classic "black tie" jersey. This jersey was exactly the jersey worn by the Heat during their 27-game winning streak.

In this game, the common legend of the Lakers and the Heat: LeBron James also came to watch the game. As the team he played for in his career, James won championships for both teams, and his jerseys were also retired in these two teams.

The arrival of LeBron James made the game even more topical. Naturally, the reporters on the sidelines would not let go of such a good interview opportunity, so they asked James a difficult question.

Lakers or Heat?

Which team does James support?
As expected of No. 1 in the league in the past, James gave a textbook-level answer. He said that these two teams are the best teams in the current league, and this game is just a part of the regular season. Both teams have a longer-term goal, which is the championship.

James did not clarify his position, but he may already have an answer in his heart. This game is more important to the Heat.

What he wants to see more is the birth of a new record.
