"How come there is a countdown?" Henry looked at the big screen suspiciously, "Isn't it a direct match after the entrance ceremony?" ”

Henry's reaction even made one wonder if the guy had actually played an official game.

A short warm-up and tactical set-up after players from both sides have entered the game is the norm and Henry seems to be in the dark.

"No, don't you warm up before you fight?" Cannavaro questioned Henry.

Henry shook his head, "We never warm up when we play, we just do it when we play." ”

Henry's answer was a surprise, as the original order of the competition in France was to arrange the warm-up before the entrance ceremony, and after a short introduction, he would go straight to the game.

Each country has its own basketball culture, and the order is not very different.

Bruce. Wade sparked screams with an opening move.

I saw him standing under the basket and jumping lightly, grabbing the basket with both hands and doing a pull-up, replicating his father's classic "hanging basket" warm-up action.

This scene made some older fans have an illusion in a trance, as if they had returned to more than ten years ago. Wade is not yet in the era of retirement.

Since announcing his retirement on April 11, 2019, this classic move has been extinct from the league and no one dares to imitate it.

Now, ten years later, his son has brought this Wade-branded move back into the public eye, and if the NBA only allowed one person to do it, that person would only be Bruce. Wade, and only he deserves this action.

This is also Bruce. Wade did it for the first time in his five-year NBA career.

In this special venue, in a special period, in the face of special people, this action has aroused a burst of public opinion, and everyone has speculated about Wade's intention to do this action.

In distant Miami, the management of the Heat team is trembling in front of the screen. Lai looked at the young Wade on the screen with extremely deep eyes, "It's going to have to be paid back sooner or later." ”

Miami once owed too much to Wade, and the reason why Wade Jr. was able to join the Heat Lao Wade played a big role in it.

The elder Wade still cares about his relationship with the city, he can't let go of the fans here and can't let go of everything here, so he suggested that his son join Miami during the draft, which can be regarded as the last assist for his old club.

History is always strikingly similar, and Miami also coveted Wade Jr.'s talent, picking Wade Jr. with the fifth pick in the first round.

Same order as my father.

But Wade Jr. is not as friendly as Wade Jr. to Miami, he remembers the good things the city did to Wade in his twilight years, when he was more inclined to New York and Los Angeles, but Wade Jr. still facilitated the signing, but Wade Jr. once negotiated with Wade Sr. about a condition, the Heat cannot win the championship in five years, then he will make his own choice, and Wade Sr. must not interfere.

Wade agreed to his son's request, and he hoped that the Heat management would be able to get the team in contention for a championship by putting it in action.

But Pat. Reilly is old, and his negotiation skills were phased out back in 2014.

Five years have passed, and Miami has not been the last team to lift the cup, not even a chance to touch it.

Little Wade was disappointed, and Old Wade's heart was cold.

His remaining enthusiasm and hope for Miami were running out.

Wade Jr. and Los Angeles can be described as a love match, and the outside world is very optimistic about this than signing. Bryant and Bruce. The sight of Wade playing together is sure to make the whole league tremble.

But until then, the two were still rivals, the first and second places in the MVP rankings.

The outcome of today's game will directly affect the selection of MVP, whether James continues to open the gap or Wade is strong and overtake, we will see after the game.

The game is about to begin, and the players from both sides have returned to their respective benches after a brief stretch and shooting drill, and the coach is making the final tactical arrangements.

The Lakers continued their starting lineup with a solid season.

Paul and McGrady partner in the backcourt.

James. Bryant plays as small forward.

Garnett and Howard guard the interior.

The Lakers have an extravagant roster that helped the Lakers win the Finals last season, and their goal this season is to defend their title.

The Heat's lineup has relatively few stars, only Bruce. Wade is an All-Star, but the roster is relatively balanced, with no obvious shortcomings, and at the same time, he has no special skills.

The Heat team is completely Wade, who single-handedly lifted the team to the first place in the East.

Behind him, the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers are eyeing the first place in the East, and the two-game advantage cannot give the Heat and Wade peace of mind, and any loss could change the rankings.

The Lakers dominate the West, with the Portland Trail Blazers, who are in second place, five wins behind them.

Three years to the east of the river, three years to the west of the river.

The situation that the west was strong and the east was weak has long since ceased to exist, and now the eastern teams in the league are like wolves and tigers, fighting fiercely, especially the competition for the top three is even more exciting.

Players take off their training jackets and change into match jerseys.

The Lakers wore the iconic gold jersey, and James. Bryant's new No. 9 jersey was booked to sell out before it hit the shelves.

His jersey has dominated the jersey sales charts for three years.

Second place went to Bruce. Wade.

Third place went to Barrett.

The most surprising of the three was Wade's jersey.

"What's going on?" Mu Chenfeng was stunned for a long time after seeing Wade's jersey number, "He is wearing [3]!" ”

The Heat's No. 3 jersey was hung over American Airlines Arena in 2020 and retired along with other legends, and players are not allowed to play in games under NBA rules to honor those great stars.

Dwyan. Wade, the greatest player in Miami Heat history, is understandably treated like this.

But, Bruce. Wade, however, wore the same number his father had worn during the race, but added a letter "B" to the name "WADE".

"DE" Bruce. Wade.

"Why can he wear the number 3, isn't that number retired a long time ago?" Henry is similarly puzzled by the fact that wearing a retired number in the NBA is subject to a hefty fine.

Felix explained, "There is a rule in the NBA that prohibits the wearing of retired jerseys, but there is one exception, and that is that if you have the permission of the owner of the jersey, you can cancel the retired jersey so that other people can wear the number. When Jordan first retired, the team retired his No. 23 jersey to thank him for everything he had done for the team, and after his return, the team canceled the retirement of the jersey and rewore the No. 23 jersey. ”

"Jordan wears his own jersey, though." Felix continued, "Aldridge wore the No. 12 jersey when he was with the Trail Blazers, and when he moved to the Spurs, the Spurs' No. 12 jersey had been retired, and after communicating with the jersey owner Bowen, the team restarted the No. 12 so that Aldridge could continue to play in the familiar No. 12. ”

Henry nodded, "I see, that means that's what Wade's jersey is like." ”

"Yes, but I think it's Dwyan. Wade took the initiative to apply for the reboot of the No. 3 jersey, after all, no one dared to wear that number even if he did not retire, rather than letting the jersey hang in the air, it was better to let his own son wear it, which can be regarded as the inheritance of the No. 3 jersey. ”

Bruce. Wade wore the No. 3 jersey without any sense of disobedience, as if the omnipotent Flash was back on the court, and that back resembled Dwyan.
