Chapter 300: Enthusiastic Hosts
On the night of the Mavericks' hard workout, the Super Triumvirate combined for 69 points to help the Heat crush the resurgent Chicago Bulls 83-80. This also means that after a lapse of five years, the two rivals of the Mavericks and the Heat will meet again on the stage of the finals!
Terry watched the full game at home that night, and he kept gritting his teeth in front of the TV. Miami Heat, although a group of people have changed, the Heat team has always been the fierce opponent that made him shed tears. This year, Terry vowed to give the Heat a taste of defeat as well.
Carlisle remained in his office, and after watching the Heat's game, the college coach rubbed his tired eyes and brain. The Heat's three superstars can nullify a lot of tactics by themselves. James, Wade and Bosh, these three guys, are not easily bound by tactical setups.
Nowitzki watched the whole game accompanied by his girlfriend, and after the game, the German didn't say a word for a long time as he watched the Heat celebrating the victory. The scene of failure 5 years ago is still vivid, but I didn't expect that after waiting for so long, the opponent is still them. History sometimes has so many coincidences, and the Heat team is stronger after 5 years, but Dirk himself is no longer the "soft egg" he was back then.
As for Yiyang, after watching the game, this guy's whole body was like he was really on fire. Today, Yiyang invited Moodier to come to his home to watch the game with him, and after the game, Yiyang, who had itchy hands, directly pulled Moodier to go to the basketball court in the yard to practice shooting.
Where can Moodier accompany Yiyang, and after voting a hundred, the little guy is tired and lying down. But Yiyang is like a shooting machine. Even though the sweat had soaked Yiyang's vest, he still didn't stop, throwing the ball out again and again, picking it up, running to the designated position, and then continuing to throw!
The Miami Heat won the Eastern Conference and will meet the Mavericks, the Western Conference champions, who qualified a day early. I don't know how many people will stay up all night because of this historic moment.
The champions of the East and West divisions have been decided, and according to the official arrangement of the NBA, the finals will be played in Miami in five days. In the past 5 days, the fans are naturally hungry and thirsty. But the players are getting more excited day by day.
On May 28, most of the players in the BA League have already started to enjoy their vacation, but the players of the Dallas Mavericks must rush to Miami today to continue preparing for the game.
When I used to study, what Yiyang looked forward to most every day was the holiday. Only when the holidays come can he play carefree. But now, he has no envy of the players who took early leave. He's still working, proving that he still has a chance to compete for the highest honors!
The moment the plane lands at Miami International Airport, the hatch opens. A heat wave came in an instant, and the temperature and humidity in Miami made Yiyang sweat profusely as soon as he got off the plane.
"Damn the weather!" Terry cursed, this guy seemed to be very resistant to everything Miami.
While Dallas, Texas, is also full of sunshine, Miami, which is by the sea, is more sweltering. The air here is very humid, like a big steamer, smothering everyone together.
The players immediately got on the team bus, and in a place like Miami, leaving the air conditioning for even a second is quite torturous.
Along the way, the beauty of Miami flashed out of the car window. Outside the bridge, it is all blue. After crossing the bridge and entering the city, the city of Miami seems to be surrounded by golden beaches, and people in bathing suits are either enjoying the lapping of the waves in the sea or soaking up the sun on the beach.
But the most attractive thing about the city is not the beautiful scenery, but the finals advertisements everywhere!
On the building, a huge poster of the Heat Triumvirate hangs. Underneath the poster are the words "Take Back the Championship!" ”
On each street lamp, a flag with the words "NBA Finals" written on it fluttered wantonly with the sea breeze.
On the street, people are wearing Heat jerseys. The bodies of buses and taxis were even wrapped in advertisements for the finals.
Yiyang felt an atmosphere, a strong atmosphere of the finals. Everything else in the city has become less important, except for the Grand Final, which is the only theme in Miami!
"See this bunch of arrogant guys? They almost awarded the championship to themselves! Terry looked at everything around him with disdain, and complained to Yiyang at the same time.
Yiyang smiled and did not respond. But this kind of basketball atmosphere is really desirable......
As usual, upon arrival at the hotel, the players will take a break and head straight to the American Airlines arena for acclimatization.
But today, the players have just arrived in Miami and are a little tired. So after the afternoon training, Carlisle would let everyone go back to rest and have free time in the evening. The next day, the high-intensity training will officially begin.
Back in the locker room after the afternoon of practice, the players joked that Miami's beaches were a must-see. Because as soon as you go, you're sure to get a couple of sexy girls in bikinis to jump into your arms and make you have an exhausting night in Miami.
Although it is just a joke, this statement is not an exaggeration. Don't think that the Mavericks are enemies of the Heat, they will be resisted in Miami. Women who crave money and fame don't care which team they're sleeping with. So sometimes it's not the players themselves who want to have fun, but the temptation to come to the door on their own initiative, and few people can stand it.
Not to mention an NBA-level star, he is a star player in the NCAA, and he is also a "battle-hardened" existence in college. Even if they just walk across campus, they'll get seven or eight girls' phone numbers. If you want, you can even have seven or eight girls waiting for you in the room at the same time.
This is the dark place under the dazzling light of American basketball, and this is indeed a shortcut for some girls to never worry about food and clothing. After having a relationship, the child support that the stars gave to those girls privately was also better than that of them going to work properly. And many stars were dragged to death by a high amount of child support.
When his teammates talked about these topics, Yiyang kept not biting on the side. The more people talked, the more panicked Yiyang became. Later, his destination was not a hotel, but Miami's famous West Palmetto Beach.
"What's the matter, boy. Got something on your mind? Terry seemed to notice that something was wrong with Yiyang, and he leaned in front of Yiyang with a sinister eyebrow, as if he was examining a prisoner.
"Your Italian girlfriend, she didn't come with you?"
"Vignary? She...... She'll be there tomorrow. Yiyang replied hesitantly, then avoided Terry's gaze and began to change his clothes.
"No wonder...... I think after listening to us, you kid want to go to the beach in Miami while your girlfriend is away! Do what you can, I don't want you to let these things affect the state of the game! Terry Thief smiled and patted Yiyang's shoulder, Yiyang shook his head, anything that passed through Terry's mouth would become filthy.
"You old fellow, do you have that little thing on your head every day?"
"So what else can you do at the beach? Is it hard to date a man? Terry's rhetorical question made Yiyang speechless for a moment.
It's not because Yiyang is weak-hearted, but the purpose of his trip to the beach was really guessed by Terry. That's right, Yiyang tonight is a "date" with a man!
※※※
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the entire sea surface seems to turn red. The sand and the sea merge into one, and a few women in swimsuits walk on the beach, making a small embellishment to this beautiful view.
Miami's West Midtown Beach is less crowded and quieter than the most famous beach, South Beach. It can be said that this is a paradise for celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life. High prices and beautiful surroundings isolate this place from the crowded South Beach. Of course, many beautiful women will also look for their "prey" in this Vanity Fair.
Yiyang, dressed in casual clothes, stood by the beach, as if waiting for someone. Although he was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, it seemed that several women were already watching him.
Yiyang couldn't help but lower the brim of his hat, lowered his head, and walked around casually. At this time, a hot bikini girl suddenly came up to Yiyang.
"Are you lost? Also. The woman couldn't help but say, and directly grabbed Yiyang's arm.
"You...... You've misidentified the wrong person. Yiyang wanted to pull his arm away, but found that the other party was unexpectedly forceful.
"It's okay, I can show you around Miami. In the evening, I will also allow you to experience the true charm of Miami. The woman said, leaning her head to Yiyang's face, and her lips pressed lightly. It's so explicit, it's so direct.
In addition to its glossy beaches, Miami is also a veritable sex capital. Strip clubs large and small are scattered all over Miami, and a world museum of erotic art is even located here, making it one of the city's top attractions.
In fact, this situation faced by Yiyang often occurs, and his teammates are right, Miami's beaches are really not a peaceful place.
"Hey, Yi, I didn't expect you to ...... so soon" Just when Yiyang was at a loss, a man trotted close to Yiyang, and greeted him while running.
The person who came was none other than Yiyang's "date" partner today, Dwayne. Wade.
"Hey, Dwayne. Uh, it's not what you think, she'......"
Before Yiyang could finish speaking, Wade seemed to understand what was going on. As an "old fritter" who has been in Miami for 8 years, Wade knows very well what trouble Yiyang is encountering.
"Do you need her tonight? Also. Wade, who was wearing sunglasses, asked with a smile.
"Nope! Of course not, man! Yiyang was afraid of being misunderstood by Wade, so he hurriedly waved his hand.
"You heard my friend, ma'am. Leave your phone number and go, maybe he'll contact you later? ”
Hearing Wade say this, women are not good at entanglement. She left a small note for Yiyang with her phone number on it. When he turned to leave, he didn't forget to throw a wink at Yiyang with all kinds of charm.
After the woman left, Yiyang directly threw away the note in his hand. The note was swept up by the sea breeze and drifted into the distance.
"Miami is such a place, man, you have to get used to it. Let's go, I've booked a spot. Wade put his hand on Yiyang's shoulder, it turned out that long before Yiyang arrived in Miami, Wade and Yiyang had made an appointment to have dinner together.
Yiyang's performance against the Heat during the regular season has undoubtedly earned Wade's affection and respect. So tonight, before the official start of the finals, Wade also plans to take this opportunity to get together with Yiyang in a private capacity.
After all, when the finals begin, the two will become bitter enemies. Before that, Wade didn't want to make everything so stressful.
"Are you still used to coming to Miami?" The "cheek man" in front of him in a suit and leather shoes is still very kind. With him, Yiyang quickly relaxed.
"It's all the same, non-stop training, training."
"Come on, man, let's not talk about work today. Are you planning to come to Miami this holiday season? If you come, bring your girlfriend and I can take you all for a good time. "When it comes to the holidays, Wade seems to be in full swing.
"I haven't thought much about the holidays yet, Dwayne. Also, this summer, I haven't thought about whether to join the national team. If I join the national team, I probably won't have much time off. ”
"National team, Chinese national team?" Wade was visibly surprised.
"That's right."
"The Asian stage is so simple for you that it doesn't mean much at all." Wade spread his hands, thinking it wasn't something to think about. Instead of wasting time in a quality competition, you might as well enjoy your vacation.
"There may be something special about our country, Dwayne. As a Chinese, if you don't join the national team...... It may be blamed by a lot of people. ”
"Don't bother with those who accuse you, your career is your own. It's up to you to decide how you want to arrange it. The whole world knows why Yao retired early, you think about the national team, and the national team may not think about you. Of course, I'm not trying to dissuade you from joining, but I want to say that don't be influenced by the outside world, including me. Follow your heart and make a decision. After Wade finished speaking, the meals were all ready.
"Okay, I said I wouldn't talk about work today. Try it, his seafood is low in fat, so you don't have to worry. Wade flashed his trademark smile again, and after that, the two didn't talk about basketball. Instead, they talked about life lightly and had dinner at the same time.
After dinner, he and Wade walked by the sea, and the two of them prepared to go back separately and say goodbye.
"I hope tonight can relax you, but the days after that will be very difficult."
"You mean the finals?" Yiyang understood what Wade meant.
"A piece of advice for you, boy, forget about me tonight! The next time we meet, I won't be so polite to you. ”
Yiyang nodded slightly, then turned around and got into the taxi that was already waiting.
Watching the car fade around the corner, Wade couldn't help but look up at the starry sky in Miami. Another chance to win the championship, you must seize it!
Yiyang? Next, the only thing Wade needs to do is to strangle him completely on the basketball court!
A friend and an enemy. From the moment the two said goodbye, their identities had changed.
There's more to Miami than just beautiful beaches and sexy babies. In the game three days later, Wade will let Yiyang take a good look at how "enthusiastic" he is as the host.
