The brightest moonlight of the year, when thousands of miles of people enjoy it. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival of reunion. The poetic Chinese place infinite family affection and nostalgia on this festival, and wanderers who wander outside always look forward to returning home every Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, even in the NBA, where business is business and indifferent, the hearts of the players are full of different feelings for home. It's like a tattoo on their body, which has become an inseparable part. It's just that the home in their hearts may not be their hometown, and often includes the team that selected them, which is the place where they have the most sense of belonging.

In 2014, James returned to his hometown of Cleveland

Return to your hometown, back to the place where the dream began

In 2014, LeBron James decided to return to Cleveland, and in the letter announcing his homecoming, he began with "I was a kid from Northeast Ohio before anyone cared where I was going to play." In that letter, James mentions "Northeast Ohio" five times, a term that is not clearly defined on the map of the United States, but like the hometowns of many people in China, there are similar expressions, such as Huaibei, southern Anhui, and so on.

Northeast Ohio, including Akron, that's James' hometown. Before James went home, he had played in Miami for four years and won two championship trophies, but at the end of the day, it was a foreign country, and winning the championship there was an achievement, but it was less moving.

"When I left Cleveland, I had ambitions to win more championships, and we did finish on the top podium twice," James wrote in the letter, "but before that, the Heat had tasted championships, and my hometown hadn't seen a smile on the Goddess of Victory for a long, long, long time." My goal is undoubtedly still to win as many titles as possible. But the most important thing for me was to bring a championship trophy back to Northeast Ohio, where I was born and raised. ”

Now James has left home again and went to play for the Los Angeles Lakers for the development after retirement. But he hasn't forgotten the promise he made four years ago and has finally achieved his goal. In June 2016, James led the team to win three games in a row after falling behind 1-3 and defeated the Warriors to win the championship.

That scene is still unforgettable. James, who couldn't stop crying, shouted "Cleveland, this is for you!" (Cleveland, this is for you!) This sentence represents James's heart, and this championship is also the heaviest.

Kevin Garnett, although he didn't win a championship for the Timberwolves, his experience is somewhat similar to James'. The Timberwolves' most glorious years were under Garnett, where they reached the playoffs eight times in a row and reached the Western Conference Finals in 2003-04. Garnett left Minneapolis in the summer of 2007 to play in Boston and was later traded to the Brooklyn Nets, but a February 2015 trade finally brought him back to the Timberwolves, where his dream began.

Loyal fans of the Timberwolves also welcomed the return of KG with practical actions. In 2003, an uncle danced a striptease in the audience, revealing the words "timberwolves" and "KG", but was eventually taken away by two security guards. After 12 years, Garnett re-represented the Timberwolves in the first home game, the uncle came again, and brought his two children, when he finally got up and danced, he wrote "Welcome home, KG", Garnett on the court also waved to him to say hello, at this moment, how many people were in tears.

Iverson returned to the 76ers and kissed the floor

Down, home is still a warm embrace

The most beautiful meaning of home is that it not only welcomes the wanderers who return to their hometowns, but also opens its arms to the children who are in trouble.

Allen Iverson, drafted by the 76ers in 1996 and traded to the Nuggets in December 2006, has dedicated 10 years of his youth to Philadelphia and has long been regarded as the "Son of Philadelphia." He is the soul of the 76ers, and he has long regarded this place as his home.

After three years on the road, Iverson's form continued to decline, and on November 17, 2009, just 37 days after signing with the Grizzlies, he was laid off. At this time, a familiar team reached out to him, and it was none other than the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson went home, so that the Philadelphia fans were extremely excited, when the host shouted Iverson's name, the audience instantly boiled, Iverson was very excited, and his teammates hugged one by one, and then he ran to the middle of the court, leaned over and kissed the 76ers logo on the floor, like a wanderer who has not been home for a long time, the moment he stepped on his homeland, he just wanted to kiss the land he loved. At this time, how many fans burst into tears, at this moment, they have waited too long.

Steve Francis, who was drafted by the Grizzlies in 1999 but was soon traded to the Rockets. He spent five happy years with the Rockets, then went on a rocky trip between the Magic and the Knicks. In July 2007, he joined the Rockets as a free agent, and the long-lost "Boss Fergus" finally returned home.

"We're really, really excited to see him back in Houston, which has been his home for Steve [Francis] since he joined the NBA," said Fred, who was Francis' agent at the time. He also has a home in Houston, which is still his home in every sense of the word, even though he once joined the Magic and Knicks. ”

When asked by a reporter what made Francis choose to return to Houston, he smiled and said, "Family, my kids, this is a city I love." As he answered the question, Francie fiddled with his phone, on which his two children were sitting on the lawn grinning.

Also feeling the warmth of home is Rockets veteran Spanolys. The Greek star, known as the "European Kobe", has never been able to adapt to life in the United States, because he can't play, and he and head coach Van Gundy have some conflicts. After a depressed year on the Rockets' bench, he informed the Rockets through his agent that he would no longer return to play in the NBA, and the Rockets could only trade Spann to the Spurs, allowing him to be bought out and successfully return to Greece to play. This breakup should be considered a win-win situation, Spann got what he wanted, and the Rockets got Scola's signing rights through a trade.

"Spann has said to me 10 times, 'I'm not coming back,'" Span's agent said. "It started out as a conflict between him and Jeff Van Gundy, now it's not. Spann was unable to adjust to the American way of life. 'I can't survive, I have to stay in my home. ’”

In 2007, Panathinaikos Basketball Club reopened its arms to Span, and back home Spann became a superstar in the Europa League again. In 2009, he led Panathinaikos to the UEFA Basketball League and was named the MVP of the Finals.

Wade returned to the Heat and had a smile on his face in practice

For the return of love, this place of peace is my hometown

Sometimes, it's about going home for peace of mind. Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, once had a sentence, "This place of peace of mind is my hometown", in short, it is the place of peace of mind, which is my hometown.

Derrick Fisher, a member of the '96 Golden Generation, spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Lakers. In 2007, while representing the Jazz in the playoffs with the Rockets, he learned that his daughter had a "retinocytoma." In order to save his daughter, Fisher gave up the game against the Rockets and traveled to New York with his wife, Camper, to wait for the operation of the best doctors in the United States.

In the entire United States, only seven cities have treatment centers for this type of eye cancer, and Los Angeles is in third place. Los Angeles has one of the best healthcare facilities in the world. For Fisher, that's where he can rest easy.

Jazz management was very humane, and even though they used three players to get Fisher, they still chose to meet Fisher's request and cut him so that he could return to the Lakers as a free agent. For the sake of his daughter's health, Fisher chose to go home. This return home not only saved Fisher's daughter's life, but Fisher also won two more championships with the Lakers, increasing his career championship rings to five.

Dwyane Wade, who was the soul of the Heat, joined the Bulls in a fit of anger because he failed to negotiate a contract with management. Although Chicago is his hometown, the Heat were the team that drafted him that year, and he should have been a team for life like Kobe and Nowitzki. Moreover, the experience in Chicago was not pleasant, and after more than a year, Wade sought a buyout contract and joined his friend James' Cavaliers. It's a pity that the Cavaliers' record is not ideal, and Wade's longing for the Heat is deepening. Before the trade deadline, Cavaliers management fulfilled Wade's wish and made a pro forma trade with the Heat to send Wade home. After learning the news, Wade's wife Union tweeted very excitedly: "Home of 305 (area code)! Heat refueling!! Can't wait! "Neither the Bulls nor the Cavaliers can make Wade feel at ease like the Heat.

In Wade's first home game home, Miami was boiling. When he came on the pitch, the fans were almost crazy and gave a standing ovation! Riley, who used to have a bad relationship with Wade, also sighed: "Wade's return has made Miami like spring all year round. ”

brief summary

NBA players are a special group of people who are always on the go during the season, but no matter when and where, home is the warmest harbor in their hearts. Coming home, always full of homely options. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish every family a harmonious and happy reunion.
