Chapter 663: Miami's 'Welcome Ceremony'

On the afternoon of Oct. 13, the Cavaliers arrived in Miami ahead of schedule.

With a regular season debut and a game against the defectors' overall runner-up team, the Heat, Cavaliers management took this game very seriously.

Putting aside the grievances between the two teams, the Cavaliers completed a rebuild this year, and the starting lineup underwent a major change.

The chef of the starting appetizer became Qian Chen, and the starting beverage chef was replaced by Owen, which is equivalent to replacing half of the starting lineup in one go, which is undoubtedly a great adjustment.

Although Qian Chen and Irving performed extremely well in the team's training matches, especially Qian Chen's strength shocked the Cavaliers management.

But if it has not been tested by a formal competition, it is not really good to judge after all.

Qian Chen and Irving's debuts were crucial, and their performances signaled the success of the Cavaliers' costly rebuild.

In particular, the home court of the Heat is also a famous visiting team hell.

For this reason, the team's management arrived in Miami a day early to get used to the venue in advance.

However, while the plan is good, there will be a human factor that will cause the plan to change.

For example, now.

Altman is talking to Pat Riley, the Heat's general manager, on his phone about borrowing the stadium for training.

“WTF!? Riley, we made an appointment yesterday, and you have promised to lend us the venue for a night, why do you suddenly regret it? ”

"I'm sorry, Altman, I didn't know this was going to happen, and now the engineers are working hard to repair the equipment, but they expect it will take at least 30 hours to fix it, so we have to cancel the agreement."

said sorry in his mouth, but Riley's tone did not mean the slightest apology, it was completely an official tone.

"Thirty hours? What about our team's acclimatization? ”

"I'm sorry, maybe you can relax, you know that Miami is not as good as you are in Cleveland, there is a lot of nightlife here, that's it, I wish you all a nice night."

Then the phone beeped and hung up.

"Wait! Riley? Riley"

Altman fed a few times unwillingly, but there was only a busy sound on the other end of the phone.

“F**K!”

Altman almost smashed his phone.

On the other side, in the office of the general manager of the Heat stadium, Riley hung up his phone and looked down at the quiet, empty stadium below, which was said to be under repair, with a scornful sneer on his face.

Generally speaking, it is common for an away team to arrive early in the home team city to borrow a stadium for training.

The general manager of the team will not offend others because of such a trivial matter, after all, there are only thirty teams in the alliance, and if you don't look up and look down, you may not be able to guarantee that one day you will ask for others.

But apparently in Riley's heart, the Cavaliers who had been forcibly robbed by him were not among them.

Except for the old fox of Popovich and the shrewd guy of Morey of the Rockets, Riley did not take anyone else seriously, especially the Cavaliers, and was labeled as a loser and a lost dog in his heart.

If such a team is offended, it is offended, it is not a big deal.

The Heat's goal this year is to win a championship, unlike a team that aspires to compete for the top pick.

Unable to make an appointment to attend the stadium for early acclimatization, Altman discussed with head coach Mike Brown and had to announce a day off and told the players not to spend the night outside.

Most of the team members immediately cheered, Cleveland is a small city, and there are very few nightclubs, on the contrary, Miami is a bustling metropolis, and there is no shortage of all kinds of nightclubs.

For the black guys, the nightclub is their second home, and in the countryside of Cleveland, they can be suffocated.

A group of people immediately walked out of the hotel with their shoulders on their backs.

Only a few of the main starters, including Qian Chen, and the female pastry chef in the team remained.

Seeing this, Altman and Mike Brown looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

We all know that alcohol will reduce the state of the players, but they are all adults, and it is impossible to control others 24 hours a day.

Besides, a significant part of the team just sees this as a profession, and now is the normal time to get off work, and it should be entertained and relaxed. People like Qian Chen who joined the NCA in order to challenge themselves are outliers.

In particular, most of the NCA chefs are black buddies, as we all know, although the black buddies are physically gifted, they can have self-discipline...

In fact, Owen also wanted to go with him, and someone had already sent him an invitation, but Qian Chen just glanced at him 'lightly', and Owen immediately refused the other party's invitation with righteous words.

Nothing was said all night.

On the 14th, Qian Chen pulled Owen to borrow the hotel's kitchen for basic training all day.

Soon the 15th came.

On this day, the whole of Miami was like a holiday day, especially near the Heat stadium, which was crowded with people, and a large number of kitchen fans gathered here, seriously blocking traffic.

There is no way, in Qian Chen's previous life, the NBA had three other major leagues to compete with it, diverting a large number of audiences, and the most popular in the United States in the world is the NCA, and there is no one.

The entire NCA is the equivalent of the four major leagues combined.

Not to mention, the capacity of each team's stadium starts at 100,000, and some big cities such as Los Angeles and New York have reached an astonishing 150,000.

Due to the traffic jams, Altman had to decide to head to the Heat's arena early.

Despite this, the Cavaliers' bus was still stuck in traffic jams and finally had to ask the traffic police to help clear the way.

The group got off the bus and walked towards the venue, just in time to meet a group of Heat team kitchen fans also coming out of the parking lot.

"Hey, Cleveland hillbillies! Thank you for sending His Majesty the Emperor to Miami! ”

"The Big Three will kick you in the ass tonight!"

"That Celestial Empire man named Qian Chen, the Flash will teach you what NCA is! You'd better go home and feed! ”

All kinds of foul language were spread to the Knights, especially Qian Chen, the unknown champion, who was given special attention.

Altman and Mike Brown suddenly looked at Qian Chen with worried expressions.

No matter how good his cooking skills are and how high his potential is, Qian Chen is only a teenager under the age of 18 after all, can he withstand these things?

However, Qian Chen was calmer than they imagined.

Facts have proved that they think too much, and they don't look at how many such battles Qian Chen has experienced from Japan to France.

If you could win by mouth, this world would have been occupied by the mouth-strong kings a long time ago.

Competition, in the final analysis, still depends on strength to speak.

Therefore, Qian Chen never makes meaningless mouths, he only uses practical actions to slap the other party.

Of course, this does not mean that Qian Chen has no anger.

The media's disapproval, the arrogance of the Heat team, and the abuse and boos of the kitchen fans have already ignited the anger in Qian Chen's heart.
