"Huh~ The climate here is still a bit similar to the West Coast!" The Lakers arrived in Miami on a flight, and when they arrived at the hotel, they ran out immediately. On the beach next to the hotel, Lakers players dressed in loose-fitting casual shirts, some lay on beach chairs, and some rushed into the warm sea and started swimming.

Although it's only mid-March, the afternoon temperature in Miami is already as high as 23 degrees Celsius. The sea is very warm under the sun, and Lakers players take the opportunity to relax here and relieve the fatigue of the long season.

"There are so many young ladies in Miami." Little fish's eyes appeared one by one, and he swept around the bikini beauties around.

"After all, this is a resort city, and there are so many people who travel, vacation, and retire here, which is very similar to our Los Angeles."

"I heard that there are still a lot of Cuban mafias here, I don't know if it's true?"

Hispanics make up 70 percent of Miami, and a large number of wealthy South Americans choose to move to Miami, where they can enjoy the benefits of the American system while preserving their familiar culture.

This large ethnic and cultural influence also affects Miami's ball market in many ways, and in such a picturesque and pleasant city, only the NBA has a team in the three major sports leagues in the United States. This is very rare, and the main reason is that the Latino community here is not so passionate about sports.

Whether it's basketball, baseball, or rugby, Latinos don't like it very much. What Latinos prefer is football! It's Samba!

Stern's opening of the team in Miami has to be said to be a risky move.

"Will Latinos still love basketball? They'll kick the ball into the basket with their feet! This is what most people think of this team when the Heat joined MLS.

"Three years, or three years, this team will be moved out of Miami."

Three years later, Miami survived and is still alive and well. Although Miami survived, the team's income was not high, which did not change until last year when Pat Riley took over the Heat. The god operator has brought a bunch of stars, coupled with the shroud of the SHOWTIME halo, and the team's record bonus, these factors have opened up the fan market and made the team's attendance very high in the past two years. And attendance is almost the team's biggest income after TV media broadcasts.

But among the players, it's a very good thing to come to Miami to play. Tough guy Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Mashburn and other stars are having fun playing in Miami!

The climate here is so comfortable that God's gift is no joke. Who wouldn't want to live in a resort with sunny beaches and spring all year round? Combined with the fact that there aren't as many gossip reporters in Los Angeles, the media environment is relatively relaxed, and having Pat Riley above their heads to help them take on the pressure, all of these factors make them quite happy with playing for the Miami Heat.

There's no one who doesn't love Miami, and if you ditch the gangsters here, it's truly a paradise on earth. But crime rates are not low in places with a large number of South Americans, even if most South Americans are in the middle class.

In addition to these players, there are also quite a few stars who are open to joining Miami. That's the good thing about a great place to live, and while the ball market here isn't as good as Los Angeles, it's a great place to live! Pat Riley is confident that with such an advantage, he can get a few more top role players in the next few years, or just put together a five-star galactic battleship!

And the game between the Lakers and Miami has already attracted a lot of attention before the game. The Big Three against the league's No. 1 match, such a gimmick, has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.

On March 21, 1997, the Lakers played away at Miami Coliseum against the Miami Heat.

"Old man, how have you been?" Harris looked at Pat Riley, whose face was full of red light, and couldn't help but step forward and laugh.

Since the last time Harris, Riley, and West got together in January, this is the first time they've seen each other in two months. And this time they met, the backgrounds of the two sides were also very different.

In January, the Lakers were still a team with Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, and at that time, they not only ranked first in the league, but also ranked among the top three in the league in terms of hard power.

And now the Lakers are only Kobe Bryant alone, and it is doubtful that this young player can always take on the responsibility of the team with thin shoulders. Although the current Lakers have the first record in the league, everyone can see that they are a team with absolute flaws, they are a team that is very easy to target, and the hard power has undoubtedly dropped a lot after the lack of a superstar. It's just that Kobe Bryant has been making up for the team's holes with his miraculous key shots, but how long can this magic last?

A Heat, who haven't robbed Mashburn yet, is just a mediocre two-star team driven by Tim Hardaway and Mourning, and there are many such teams in American professional basketball.

And now the Heat! In exchange for the Big Three, the record is close to the second place in the East, and there are many games without losing. The current hard power is the strongest under the Eastern Bulls! Moreover, the team players cooperate tacitly, the tactical execution is strong, and the team cohesion is strong. These are all created by the god operator Pat Riley, and Riley is certainly proud of it!

"Pretty good, old man." Pat Riley gave Harris a hug.

"You've been in the limelight lately, huh? How many wins are you going to win this season? 65 wins? 60 wins? ”

"Come on, old fox. You're even better, the team is running for a record of 72 wins, right? But I'm not going to let it out, so I'm going to enjoy it. ”

When the two people were greeting, the players also walked out of the players' tunnel in turn.

The Lakers' appearance actually caused a burst of cheers, which made Fisher feel a little unaccustomed.

"It's nothing, most of the fans here in Miami are winners, and we have a good record, so it's not surprising that there are a lot of fans." Campbell looked old and patiently explained to Xiaoyu.

The quality of the fans in Miami is really not high, booing the home team, cheering for the away team, leaving the stadium early and so on happen repeatedly. Of course, after Pat Riley led the Big Three in, the situation improved very significantly.

That's because the team keeps winning!

When the day the team can't win, not only the players on the field, but maybe even Pat Riley will be booed!
