Legendary star

Chapter 793 The opening game of the new season

At 2012:10 p.m. on October 30, 6, the American Airlines Arena in Miami, although there were still nearly two hours before the start of the game, the arena that could accommodate 19600 spectators was already full, although since the formation of three After the giants, the Heat's home attendance has always been high, but today's game is not an ordinary regular season, because today's game is the opening game of the new season, and before the start of today's game, the Heat still The awarding ceremony for the championship ring will be held at the American Airlines Arena. More importantly, the Heat's opponent today is the San Antonio Spurs, and this is Meng Xu's first game since his comeback.

Therefore, today's game received the highest attention among the three opening games, so the ticket price for this game broke through the sky, the worst seat, and the cheapest seat reached 1200 US dollars Even so, tickets for the Heat's home game against the Spurs are still hard to come by.

Before the players from both sides played, the highlights of the Heat's championship season were already broadcasting on the big screen of the American Airlines Arena, and the TNT TV network, as the broadcaster of today's game, also very powerfully gave up the other two teams. In one game, all resources and energy were devoted to the opening game between the Heat and the Spurs.

"Come out, come out!" When the visiting Spurs players began to walk out of the player tunnel, the atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena became lively instantly. Some of the audience who were about to boo the Spurs players on the field After seeing Meng Xu wearing the No. 5 jersey who was the first to represent the Spurs walking out of the player tunnel, he immediately gave up his original plan and gave Meng Xu cheers and applause.

"This is the audience at the American Airlines Arena, paying homage to a legend of the era." As the applause became more and more enthusiastic, the audience at the American Airlines Arena simply stood up, clapping and shouting Meng Xu's words Name, although today's game is the Heat's home game, but the audience on the scene are not all Heat fans, it is precisely because fans from all over the United States flocked to watch Meng Xu's first game after his comeback, Pat -Riley dared to set the ticket price for the first home game of the new season so high.

The Spurs players who played after Meng Xu did not receive such treatment as Meng Xu. Although at least half of the fans present at the American Airlines Arena today were not diehard fans of the Heat, the rookie Nan Nan who played after Meng Xu Do-De Colo still received boos from the audience. Nando De Colo, whose psychological quality is not very good, felt a little weak in his legs after hearing the boos all over the sky.

After the brief appearance ceremony, the awarding ceremony for the championship ring will be carried out first. Under the auspices of NBA President David Stern, Heat owner Alisson and President Pat Riley will prepare the championship ring in advance. The championship rings will be distributed one by one to the members of the Heat who won the championship last season.

"Meng, welcome back, I hope you can take back your scepter from them!" After the awarding ceremony of the championship ring, when the audience at the American Airlines Arena cheered for the championship, David Stern quietly walked to Meng Xu's side at some point, and after shaking hands with Meng Xu, he said something that even surprised Meng Xu with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Stern." With such a schedule and such a scene, Meng Xu really doubted that Stern had deliberately arranged this way, using the Heat's championship ring awarding ceremony to stimulate himself, so as to reach his heart An ulterior plan.

It was the first time as a bystander to witness the awarding ceremony of his opponent's championship ring. Meng Xu's mood was both fresh and complicated. Looking at James in the middle of the court, amidst the shouts of MVP from the audience, he held his hand high. Thinking of the championship ring in his hand, Meng Xu inevitably recalled the scene when he was in the Pacers. As for the group of young people behind Meng Xu, they looked enviously at the celebration with the championship ring. Heat player.

"LeBron, Dwyane, Chris, congratulations." After the championship ring awarding ceremony, Meng Xu, Duncan and others walked directly to the Heat's bench. They send blessings.

"Thank you, Meng." After seeing Meng Xu approaching, James first thanked Meng Xu with a look of surprise, and then said with a serious face: "I finally have a chance to beat you."

After James challenged Meng Xu, the smiles on the faces of Wade and Bosh standing next to James gradually disappeared, replaced by embarrassing expressions. They all knew that James wanted to beat Meng Xu very much. Wade also thought about it, but at this time, it was somewhat inappropriate to say such words.

"Haha, LeBron, are you trying to bully me for getting old? Tell you, I can still kick your butts one by one." After pointing at James, Wade, and Bosh in a circle, Meng Xu laughed He said something that made everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and at the same time eliminated the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene.

After a while of pleasantries, the starting players of both sides all walked onto the court, doing the final warm-up before the start of the game, and the relaxed atmosphere around them also disappeared.

The Heat's starting lineup today has not changed much compared to last season when they won the championship. It is still center Chris Bosh, power forward LeBron James, small forward Sean Battier, and shooting guard Dwyane - Wade, point guard Mario Chalmers.

Due to Meng Xu's comeback and the crazy expansion of the Lakers, the Heat have been trying to reinforce this summer, but because the Heat's management has been unwilling to pay the luxury tax, the introduction of the star before the game is Impossible, for a team whose mid-level contract will be broken in half, except for those veterans who want to win the championship, the Heat are really not attractive, and the Heat's biggest signing this summer , That is, the veteran Ray Allen was signed with $3 for three years.

As for the Spurs, after Meng Xu joined, the Spurs' starting lineup has undergone certain changes. Today's starters are center Tim Duncan, power forward Boris Diaw, small forward Meng Xu, and shooting guard Kawhi. -Leonard, point guard Tony Parker, due to the arrival of Meng Xu, Kawhi Leonard, who originally played small forward, was arranged by Popovich to the position of shooting guard, just like Teshaw of the Pacers Like En Prince, the main role on the court is to defend the opponent's outside arrows and limited scoring ability.

"Chris Bosh is really miserable. He lost to Tim Duncan, an old guy who couldn't run or jump at the jump ball." After the simple warm-up, the Heat played against the Spurs at home. This battle of focus officially started, but after the two teams jumped the ball, the commentary on the sidelines was already laughing. It is called the most outstanding big player in the league after the "five big forwards". Forward Chris Bosh lost to Tim Duncan without any reaction when jumping the ball.

　Regarding the ability value of each player in the previous chapter, let me say here that the 12th season is actually a big watershed. Although Kobe and Wade had already started to decline before this season, Kobe’s Achilles tendon Break, Wade also experienced a serious knee injury this season, and it was from this season that Peter Pan could no longer fly, and the Flash also lost his lightning.

　　As for the question of overestimating Bosh, it is actually not high at all. Although Bosh in the Raptors period, when Bosh personally led the team, he never broke through the first round, but Bosh was recognized as a top player in the league. Ten, in the regular season MVP selection, it has to pass fifth or sixth.

　　There is also the problem of overestimating the Lakers that year, which is not high at all. After the Lakers formed the Big Five, the voices shouting for the Lakers championship were one by one, but unfortunately, Kobe was reimbursed at the end of the season. The old man has always been on and off, coupled with the old problem of the happy beast, and a head coach who can't use so many stars at all, it is normal for the Lakers to drive high and low, of course it is a pity, and I am full of joy I still haven't won the championship.
