Chapter Twenty-Six: The World's Attention

Barkley's show not only caused a sensation in the United States, but also on the other side of the ocean, and the emotions of Chinese fans were also completely ignited.

At the beginning, Barkley's pro-donkey ass incident, because the NBA news was not very smooth, fans were aware of it, but in 06, TV computers have had a certain degree of popularity in China, and everyone knew about it the day after the news came out.

The Rockets have won four in a row, and the most excited is not the Rockets executives, nor the American fans, but the Chinese fans, this is the first time they have seen the championship so close to the Rockets since Yao Ming joined the Rockets.

It is precisely because of this relationship that they are all supporting Barkley this time.

Coupled with the fact that Monday in the United States is Sunday in Beijing time, it is foreseeable that the attention received by CCTV live broadcast will definitely be unprecedentedly strong.

Even some commissary owners have prepared benches in advance and bought some snacks such as melon seeds, waiting for it to earn a sum of money during this game.

Tang Tian knew that it was not easy to play against the Heat, but he didn't expect that it would be so big because of TNT's program.

This is not a good thing for the Rockets, after all, it has just started before the game, and although the players have run in well, they have not yet played a tough game, and if they don't play well, they will suffer a great psychological impact.

And during this time, he found some areas that could be improved in the team's rotation, and was trying to ask Van Gundy for advice, and if he was so disturbed by TNT, it seemed that he would have to wait until after this game.

On November 6, U.S. time, after a two-day offseason, the Rockets visited the American Airlines Arena in Miami to challenge the defending champion Heat.

TNT's pre-game momentum made the regular season a cult hit in Miami, with the arena flooding with Heat fans even though it was the first night of the week.

On the contrary to Chinese fans, in addition to supporting the home team, they also want to see Barkley's "big mouth" make a fool of himself again.

The commentator for this game is Mike Bryn, a well-known commentator from ESPN, and his partner is former Pacers legend and rookie commentator Reggie Miller.

"Welcome to Miami, there is no hot beach now, but there is a fierce game going on, Miami Heat, will face the challenge of the Houston Rockets, the battle between the two strong teams, will have a fierce spark tonight, Reggie, who do you think will win tonight?"

'I think both teams have chances and maybe we won't see some signs until the game starts.' Miller is the new narrator, and he is more cautious when commenting.

"Yes, one is the defending champion and the other is on a four-game winning streak since the start of the tournament, which is really hard to predict, but the equally attractive thing about this match is that outside of this match, one of the two is ready to wear Victoria's Secret underwear."

After Brin said this, Miller couldn't help but laugh, and these two people were naturally referring to Barkley and Smith.

Regardless of the outcome, this matter is now truly known throughout the United States.

At this moment, the players of both sides finished warming up, and the game was about to start.

"Okay, let's wait and see." Brin concluded.

Every team in the NBA has a different opening ceremony, but the Heat are one of the most famous because they breathe fire at this time.

The first was the introduction of the visitors' starters, with the Rockets maintaining their starting lineup during their four-game winning streak.

Wait until the Rockets' starting lineup is introduced, and then the lights dim throughout the court.

Tang Tian had also watched the opening ceremony of the Heat team on TV before, but now that he is in it, the feeling is still a little different.

The lights focused on the other half, and with the highlights shown on the large LED screen overhead, the Heat's starters were introduced one after another.

The starting small forward, James Posey, who is 2.03 meters tall.

The starting power forward, Udonis Haslem who is 2.03 meters tall.

The starting point guard, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, known for his flashy passing.

Starting center, "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal.

"No. 6, 1.93m shooting guard, Dwayne~~ Wade!!"

Wade was the finale, and Wade raised his hands to the audience to the shouts of the live DJ.

The entire American Airlines Center was in a state of boil.

The heart and soul of the team, after leading the team to a championship last season, his popularity in Miami is unmatched.

"Bang! Bang! ”

With two loud bangs, two huge flames erupted upwards from the two platforms in the center of the arena.

The whole arena exploded in an instant!

Feeling the deafening cheers around him, Tang Tian couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the away team of the Heat team was really not easy to play.

This hasn't started yet, but the audience's emotions are already as hot as those two erupting flames.

After the introduction of the starters and the completion of the final three minutes of warm-up, the starters began to appear one after another.

It was not until this time that the NBA's broadcast signal reached China.

Those who sat in the office, at home, at the entrance of the commissary, the moment they saw the signal come out, they couldn't help but start shouting.

This is the NBA of Yao Ming's era, the crazy years that will never be there again.

Yao Ming and O'Neal jumped the ball, these two played for four years, O'Neal played from the Lakers to the Heat, but the Yao Shark duel is always tired of watching.

Yao Ming used his long arm to win the Rockets the opportunity to attack first.

Alston carried the ball to the front court, handed the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line, and then the remaining four began to block each other without the ball.

The Heat have obviously studied the Rockets' new style of play, and they have done a good job of marking and blocking and changing defenses.

However, the most difficult thing about this tactic is his uncertainty, the Heat are eyeing most of the points, but Maddy's reflexive air cut still creates offensive opportunities.

Yao Ming and Maddie understood, hit the ground from behind, and sent the ball to Maddie steadily.

Maddie received the ball and accelerated to shake off Posey and scored directly.

From MM Wired!

The American Airlines arena was agitated, but far away on the other side of the ocean, it was already boiling.

2 to 0!

Team Rocket goes first.
