Chapter 54 Heat
The Heat's disgraceful departure at the North Shore Garden gave Philadelphia fans hope of defeating this super luxury team.

The next day, when night fell, the Wachovia Center was brightly lit.

Enthusiastic fans lined up in a long line, winding like a giant dragon, entering the arena in an orderly manner.A live camera was set up on a giant boom outside the arena. When the camera passed in front of the fans, they were greatly welcomed by the fans. They all posed posses in front of the camera without timidity. Some pointed at their No. 9 jersey, some Open your mouth wide and let out a yell.

Tang Wenlong followed the team and was ready in the arena long ago. The 76ers have been recuperating for four full days, which can be regarded as recharging their energy.

The faces of Iguodala, Elton and other team leaders are extremely dignified. When everyone in the locker room is preparing their clothes, they can feel the slightest unusual atmosphere.

"The Heat are obviously in a running-in period. Our chances of beating them are as high as 7%. As long as we play hard, play our cooperation, and play our tactics, we will be able to win the final victory." Coach Doug Collins in the locker room Li cheered up the players loudly. He didn't want the players to lose [-] to [-] percent of their fighting spirit when they heard the names of the trio on the opposite side.

Doug Collins spoke for a while, cleared his throat, and began announcing the starters for the game.

He purposely cast his eyes on Tang Wenlong, and then said, "Andre, Elton, Spencer, Zhu, and Tang Wenlong!"

Tang Wenlong looked at Collins with burning eyes, and when he heard his name, he secretly roared to cheer himself up.

"This game is still a live broadcast on ESPN. You should perform well and don't be blackmailed by others looking for opportunities." Before going out, Iguodala secretly said to Tang Wenlong, a bit half-joking.

"Don't worry." Tang Wenlong made an OK gesture.

**Pay attention to the whole season of the Heat. After all, when it comes to the whole summer, there is nothing more eye-catching than the Heat's gathering of the Big Three.

"Gathering the Big Three and not being able to summon the Shenlong, what a fuss." Tang Wenlong complained silently in his heart.

At this time, in the studio hall of **, Clark Kellogg and Kevin Harlan formed the commentary lineup for this game.These two are very good commentators, their voices are very recognizable, especially Kevin Harlan, as the queen commentator of the famous NBA game company 2K Game Company, his voice has left a deep impression on the hearts of gamers shadow.

"Mr. Clark, before the start of the game, can you evaluate the summer operations of the two teams separately? Because I have seen in many media that there are many opinions on the summer operations of the two teams." Kevin Harlan slightly With a smile, he said so.

Clark was obviously prepared, and said calmly: "Of course, the two teams have adopted completely different methods in summer operations. We all know that the Heat have introduced two superstars at once this season, LeBron James. And Chris Bosh, the former averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists last season, and the latter averaged 24 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Le, Juwan Howard, James Jones, Big Z and other giants all of a sudden became the favorites of the championship. The latter picked out the talented Tang Wenlong in the draft. The boy's performance in the preseason has already won the championship. The coach described him as the starting shooting guard for the 76ers today."

"It's hard to say whether the winner is good or bad. It can only be said that the two teams have completed operations to meet the needs of their respective teams in the summer." After he finished speaking, he added this sentence.

Kevin Harlan continued to ask: "As for the outcome of this game, which team do you think has a better chance of winning?"

Clarke-Kellogg secretly scolded why he kept bringing up this kind of question that might get slapped in the face, but there was still a standard smile on his face, and he thought for a while and said, "It's still the Heat."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Kevin Harlan was quite inquisitive today, chasing after Clark.
Tang Wenlong walked out of the player tunnel, and before he entered the field, he heard a "buzzing" sound in his ears, as if tens of thousands of people were talking in his ears at the same time.

"This..." His face changed, and he quickly walked out of the passage.

Whoa!
In the auditorium, the auditorium in the entire arena sat with spectators rushing to watch the game.

Where did Tang Wenlong see so many people before? He was a little surprised and a little apprehensive.

"Some of them are our fans, some are fans of the Heat, and more are just people who come to watch the game. It can also be understood as people who get off work after a long day of get off work and have some fun." Nocioni saw Tang Wenlong as a curious baby Looking around, he secretly explained in his ear.

"There are so many of them. Doesn't it mean that it's usually only more than [-]%? It seems to be more than [-]% before the sitting is over." Tang Wenlong said truthfully.

"Bang!" He was slapped on the back of the head by Nocioni, "What are you talking about? If you play well, you will naturally get more people watching. Don't say that today is the first game of the season. In the future, our attendance will also have to catch up." Super New York, Los Angeles!"

Tang Wenlong blinked aggrievedly, feeling as if he had said nothing wrong.

While the two were talking, they walked onto the floor, and the staff brought over a basket of basketballs, and then everyone wore 76ers' long clothes and trousers, and did some simple warm-up training in their own half .

"Hey, there are actually quite a few fans wearing No. 1!" During training, Nocioni ran over, this old fried dough stick and Tang Wenlong were very talkative, and the two often whispered together secretly.Nocioni once patted his chest and told Tang Wenlong that he would teach Tang Wenlong all his tricks.

Tang Wenlong said I don't want it, he is an upright person
Ten minutes later, the arena was already full of people. If you look around and estimate, there are at least 2 people in the Wachovia Center Arena, which can accommodate 8000 people.

After receiving the referee's arrangement, the DJ on the scene reminded the players on the field to end the warm-up according to the normal schedule.

So, it was the ceremony where the DJ introduced the players to the factory.

The visiting team is at the front and the home team is at the back.

No matter how big a star is, if he walks on someone else's venue, he will always be booed, especially after playing such a farce in the summer like James, he has become the target of complaints from many aggrieved fans. During this period of time, his reputation was notorious, and the boos after his appearance were deafening.

However, his face remained unchanged. When he was in North Shore Garden, he was booed every time he took the ball, and he was used to this level of ridicule.

Next came the appearance ceremony of the 76ers. First, there were 12 substitute players among the 7 players. Everyone received big and small applause and cheers.

The appearance ceremony of the starting lineup is a bit different. Seven substitute players line up in two rows in front of the bench, leaving an aisle for one person to pass through. This is also the most common appearance ceremony in the NBA.

"Next, let's welcome Don-Wen-Long, a six-foot-seven shooting guard from Syracuse University!"

When Tang Wenlong's name was called, his heart was pounding, and then he stood up from the bench, clapped hands with his teammates in the aisle, and walked through the aisle step by step.

Many yellow-skinned fans in the auditorium cheered vigorously. After adding the two together, the cheers turned out to be quite loud.

Then came Jrue Holiday, Spencer Hawes, Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala.When Iguodala appeared on the stage, the cheers of the audience reached the peak, and all the fans clapped or screamed loudly and loudly. Iguodala naturally shook his hands to interact with the audience, and then talked The teammates on both sides of the passage clapped their hands and ran to the other side.

After everyone completed the appearance ceremony, their arms were hooked together to form a circle, and Iguodala was in the middle of the circle, speaking rap-like words, encouraging everyone's morale.

Under such endless cheers, the noise was in a mess, Tang Wenlong was a little far away, and didn't hear what Iguodala said at all, only heard a few syllables, probably the heat, overthrow or something
After the completion of this series of ceremonies, the lighting on the scene changed, and the visibility was greatly improved before it became normal lighting.

Several referees had already prepared the basketball, and after seeing that the time was almost up, they signaled everyone to get on the field and take their positions.

The Heat's players were of course prepared a long time ago, and since it's not their home court, there is really no need to interact with the audience. The 76ers' players are not particularly outgoing. After a while, they also stood on the field. Tang Wenlong With excitement, he stood beside Dwyane Wade.

"Hello, Dwyane."

It was the first time for Tang Wenlong to meet a superstar like Wade in real life. At that time in high school, there were a lot of fans who were obsessed with Wade. Tang Wenlong himself had a pair of Wade's sneakers, and they were all in Xiyang City now. At home, they are also some of my favorite players.

Wade was taken aback for a moment, this guy who was a little bit as handsome as him actually ran over and greeted him first?
He smiled with great interest, it was the first time I saw him after playing in the NBA for so many years.

Immediately nodded friendly, responded: "Hello, little rookie."
