Chapter Seventy-Six: Wade Injured

Florida, home of the Miami Heat, American Airlines Arena.

The four seasons here are warm and pleasant, so the name "Heat" not only shows the climatic conditions of Miami, but also hopes that the team will be prosperous.

Miami is different from the regular four seasons of the year, this is a city where the summer is too long and there is almost no winter, and at present, in March, Miami is the first choice for travel enthusiasts, so there are many spectators, plus Sun Zhuo previously touted Wade, the fans on the scene are very friendly to see Sun Zhuo, so that Sun Zhuo has a feeling of coming to the home field.

"Well, I love it here." Sun Zhuo liked it the first time he came to the American Airlines Arena, it is not only a tourist attraction, but the fans are also very enthusiastic about him, and Sun Zhuo's first feeling about the Heat's home stadium is very good.

"Oh, Jordan is here too." Sun Zhuo raised his head and looked over the arena and saw the Heat's retired jersey, a very special jersey of two colors on the left and right, half of the Bulls' bright red, half of the Wizards' sky blue, Sun Zhuo knew that this was made by Pat Riley to pay tribute to Jordan.

Jordan is the only person in history to have his jersey retired by a team he hasn't played for, which not only shows Miami's generosity, but also represents his greatness, and likewise, it's a great inspiration for anyone who is committed to becoming a legendary superstar.

"Hopefully, one day, I'll be great enough to get opponents to retire my jerseys." Sun Zhuo couldn't help but have greater ambitions, thinking of this, Sun Zhuo couldn't help but look at the Heat President Pat Riley on the sidelines, and he noticed that Riley had arrived at the scene just now.

Sun Zhuo smiled at Pat Riley to show his friendliness, he thought that he would be treated like a friend, but he didn't expect Pat Riley to look at Sun Zhuo, but his face was still cold, and he didn't respond with any warm expression.

"I praised your Wade so much, you didn't even give a smile!" Sun Zhuo was a little unhappy, he didn't expect that the god operator Pat Riley was already planning this summer, and Sun Zhuo might affect his plans.

Sun Zhuo didn't think too much about Pat Riley, Sun Zhuo didn't know much about Pat Riley in his previous life, he only knew that he was a mean president, forced James away, and didn't treat Wade and Bosh well.

I hadn't met Wade for a long time, and Sun Zhuo found him before the game and greeted him.

"Hey, man, long time no see." Wade took the initiative to shake Sun Zhuo's hand.

"It's been a long time, but it's not a long time, but why do I think your cheeks tend to get bigger? Do you love chewing gum? Sun Zhuo noticed the position of Wade's cheeks for the first time, Wade's cheeks were very big in the later stage, and the rookie period was actually fine, Sun Zhuo felt that he needed to remind Wade not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and then continue to become the cheek gang Wei.

Wade pinched his cheeks, "Yes?" Haha, that's right, I like chewing gum a lot, I didn't expect you to even know this, no wonder even our president is curious about you. ”

"Oh? Did Pat Riley mention me to you? Sun Zhuo was a little surprised.

Wade nodded, Riley was on the scene, it was also pre-game time, Wade didn't want to say this at this time, so he said: "You didn't show your full strength last time, today I hope you can do your best to fight me, and besides, I hope you don't praise me again after the game...... I'm not as strong as you say, and now I'm getting everyone's attention, but I'm stressed. ”

Sun Zhuo smiled: "There is pressure to be motivated, you have to have confidence in yourself, I promise you, I won't release water again today, you are ready to fight." By the way, I heard that you were out of the game due to injury in the previous game, are you healed now? It won't be because I'm here to make an early comeback, right? ”

Wade said: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that when I was training a few days ago, my leg touched it, fight against me, don't have any worries, I can't wait!" ”

Wade is grateful to Sun Zhuo, but at the same time he regards Sun Zhuo as a strong rival, and he hopes to compete with Sun Zhuo without reservation, just like Sun Zhuo did when he played LeBron James, a good friend should also be a good opponent.

However, it is unrealistic for this game to evolve into a personal battle between Wade and Sun Zhuo, the Heat is Wade's team, and the Lakers are not Sun Zhuo's team, in addition, the two are not directly opposed, it is Kobe Bryant who defends Wade, Kobe is one of the best outside defensive players in the league today, and Sun Zhuo's counterpart is Caron Butler, plus the Lakers and the big shark O'Neal sit under the basket, in comparison, Wade will have more pressure than Sun Zhuo.

However, this is the home court of the Heat, and Wade has always had the most fanatical passion on the home court, and he always wants to tell his opponents and everyone that this is his horse! Oh, sorry, it should be: it's his turf!

Although he is in the opposite position with Kobe, Wade also always pays attention to Sun Zhuo's position, especially when Sun Zhuo is holding the ball, after this period of observation, Wade found that Sun Zhuo's ball control is not good, and it is relatively easy to find the opportunity to steal with his ability.

So, when the Lakers were just about to launch a fast attack, Sun Zhuo had his back to his basket, and when he received the ball and started, Wade suddenly rushed over and took the ball away from behind Sun Zhuo.

Wade was very fast, after breaking the ball, he turned around and went straight to the basket, and he was about to enter the restricted area, O'Neal thought that the Lakers were going to launch a fast attack, so the position was also raised, after Wade broke the ball like lightning, O'Neal watched Wade come in while retreating, but it was not as fast as Wade came to the basket, Wade took the opportunity to rush past O'Neal and directly staged a violent dunk!

"Wade is at the peak of his pace right now, and he's a lot better than me when it comes to driving layups, but it's okay, his shooting isn't much better than mine." Sun Zhuo is carefully comparing the strength with Wade, because Wade will be selected for this year's Dream Six team, and once the two teams meet, they will also be opponents in the Olympic Games.

Wade also roared after the violent dunk, which made O'Neal look a little unhappy, and for the sake of face, he came over and said to Sun Zhuo: "If it weren't for the fact that he is your friend, I would have thrown him out of bounds with the ball just now." ”

Sun Zhuo laughed twice, knowing that O'Neal doesn't like others to pretend to be forced in front of him, but Wade's attainments in this area are as good as O'Neal's, Wade still has this qualification, plus the two may soon become teammates, Sun Zhuo said: "I think D-WADE is quite compatible with you in terms of playing style, you should like this guy." ”

"Really?" O'Neal glanced at Wade, who looked young, and it really seemed like he was when he first entered the league.

Originally, Sun Zhuo also planned to stage a double-turn dunk in front of Wade, but in the second quarter of the game, Sun Zhuo broke through to the basket and injured Wade.

This time it was Sun Zhuo who used the European step layup, first dodging the defense of Kalom Butler, however, Wade is well versed in the essence of the European step layup, and knows Sun Zhuo's next position, so he quickly rushed to the basket from one side, Sun Zhuo didn't see Wade coming at all, after the jump, the body immediately collided with Wade, in Sun Zhuo's opinion, this was just a slight physical contact, however, at the moment, he heard Wade's screaming in pain, Sun Zhuo realized that Wade's leg injury may not have fully recovered, I may have accidentally touched the location where he was injured.

At this time, the referee had already whistled, but it was not Sun Zhuo's foul, but Wade, and Sun Zhuo's body balance was still very good after a slight collision with Wade, but because he was very concerned about Wade's injury, Sun Zhuo did not try to play 2+1 again.

After landing, Wade touched the position of his leg with some difficulty.

"D-WADE, how are you? Your leg injury isn't exactly healed. Sun Zhuo stepped forward and said with concern.

Wade nodded, he saw the anxious eyes of coach Stan Van Gundy, and then said to Sun Zhuo with a smile: "I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect this level of contact to still hurt, it seems that we can't compete to the end today." ”

Sun Zhuo knew that Wade was about to go down, and the next meeting might be in Athens.
