Chapter 85
Miami, a tourist city, has many entertainment projects, which leads to people's enthusiasm for basketball is not as good as other places in the United States. When the home team lags behind, fans leave early from time to time.But the situation is different tonight, Bryant came to the American Airlines Center arena.

The tickets for the game between the Lakers and the Heat were similar to the previous games. They were sold out by fans in Miami, and there was a long time before the game started, and the stadium was already full of fans who had bought tickets.

The Lakers players came to the arena very early today, some whispered about tactics in the locker room, and some buried themselves in books, quietly waiting for the game to start.

Although Wade has a good impression of Xu Tian, ​​after all, the two teams are opponents tonight, and he is still preparing for the game wholeheartedly.

Physical therapists wrapped ice packs around Wade's knees to keep him in shape.

Wade was not well-known when he was studying at Marquette University, and unfortunately suffered a meniscus injury.At that time, in order not to affect his draft prospects, he took the risk of removing part of the meniscus in his left knee, which caused him to struggle with his knee for most of his entire career, and the two championship seasons were no exception.

Knee and Achilles tendon injuries are the most harmful to basketball players, and knee injuries are more frequent in players who mainly make breakthroughs. The youngest MVP Derrick Rose and "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy It was plagued by knee injuries that helplessly slipped from the league's top level.

It is really amazing that Wade can hit the height he is now without the meniscus.

Time passed quickly, and players from both sides stepped into the stadium to warm up before the game.

When Bryant and Maples walked into the stadium together, they were warmly cheered by fans on both sides of the player tunnel.

After Xu Tian walked into the arena, he first looked at the audience on the sidelines, and found that there were almost the same number of fans wearing the Heat's No. 3 jersey and the Lakers' No. 24 jersey in the arena. He almost forgot that this was an away game.

Although Pat Riley regretted missing Xu Tian, ​​he still graciously came to the scene to appreciate the play of this highly entertaining rookie up close.

Pat Riley looked at Hassan Whiteside, feeling a little excited.

Whiteside is a day laborer signed by the Heat, but this player has shined in recent games, which somewhat relieved Pat Riley's wounded heart.

The story of Winslow and Xu Tian being selected by Riley on the day of the draft has been widely disseminated by the media and has become a household name. Therefore, Xu Tian's explosive performance unconsciously put Winslow in dire straits.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra stood steadily on the sidelines, keeping his eyes on Winslow, watching the rookie's shooting status.

Winslow had already known before the game that he would start tonight's game, so he focused on finding his shooting status, and tried his best to give Xu Tian some flair.

Xu Tian turned a blind eye to the exclamation caused by the picturesque shooting posture, and was still extremely focused, looking for a good shooting touch and moving his body.

Wade walked to the basket on the verge of his opening introduction, grabbed the rim with both hands and did a few pull-ups.

The lights on the scene were quickly dimmed, and the host's elongated voice sounded, starting the pre-match introduction.

The introduction of the Lakers was very casual. They just reported their position, height, number and name routinely, and then began to introduce the home players.

If you want to be popular in the introduction, you must have enough personal honors or championships, otherwise it will be difficult to introduce the momentum.Although the top [-] players of the Heat were introduced which universities they came from, they lacked career honors, not much more than the introductions of the Lakers players.

Wade's honor is enough, but in order to give Kobe face, he just gave a simple introduction similar to his teammates.

"Now, the last one, from Marquette University, 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm) guard, Miami Heat No. 3, Dwyane Wade!"

After the prolonged sound of the live DJ in Miami fell, the lights of the venue were turned on again, and the starting players of both sides stepped into the arena, preparing for tonight's game.

Lakers starters: Xu Tian, ​​Clarkson, Louis Williams, Black, Hibbert.

Nick Young and Nance Jr. have performed poorly on the defensive end in recent games, temporarily losing their starting positions and returning to the bench.

Heat starters: Goran Dragic, Wade, Justise Winslow, Amare Stoudemire, Hassan Whiteside.

Xu Tian first went to say hello to Wade, and then gave the Heat high-fives one by one, but he couldn't find Winslow.

Winslow is a guy with a real temperament or a low EQ. He is very disgusted with Xu Tian in his heart, so naturally he doesn't want to talk to Xu Tian.

The pair of Barkley and Kenny Smith came to the American Airlines Center arena to give live commentary to the recent fiery Lakers.

Kenny Smith first introduced himself, "Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is the live broadcast from TNT. Charles and I will explain the game between the Lakers and the Heat tonight."

Barkley smiled, waved his hand at the camera, and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Charles Barkley."

Kenny Smith waited until Barkley's voice fell, and said: "The Lakers refreshed the worst record in team history last season, successfully entered the lottery area to get the second pick, and won the high expectations of D'Angelo in the draft. Russell. Before the start of the regular season, the Lakers made a deal to send D'Angelo to the Rockets in exchange for Xu Tian. Now it seems that this deal should be the best deal the Lakers have made in these years."

Barkley said: "That's right! If Xu continues to play like this, even if he is selected as the All-Star starter, I will not be surprised."

Kenny Smith thought of the ridicule of the two of them by netizens, and said: "Charles, you should restrain yourself from being a fan of Xu Tian, ​​otherwise my work will not be easy to carry out."

Barkley also knew how netizens commented on them, and said with a smile: "Oh! You know Sir Charles, he never hides his thoughts."

Hibbert and Whiteside were not as elegant as Kenny Smith and Barkley. They bent over and stretched out their right hands, ready to compete for the basketball thrown by the referee.

Xu Tian held the bracelet on his right wrist with his left hand, dispelled the redundant thoughts in his heart, and prepared for the possible basketball.

Barkley saw Xu Tian's action and said to Kenny Smith: "Xu's action appeared. As I said, that action is his routine action before the start of the game, and it will appear in every game."

Kenny Smith looked at Xu Tian when the game had already started, he missed the action of touching the wristband, and said, "Charles, you must have read it wrong."

Barkley began to imitate Xu Tian's movements with Kenny Smith. While the two were talking, they forgot about the game on the court.

Wade dribbled the ball for the first time, broke through Clarkson and evaded Hibbert's supplementary defense with a lost step, and made a layup.
