At half past six o'clock in the afternoon on October 30, 2012, the American Airlines Arena in Miami, although there are still nearly two hours before the start of the game, the arena that can accommodate 19,600 spectators has already been full, although since the formation of the Big Three, the Heat's home attendance has been high, but today's game is not an ordinary regular season, because today's game is the opening game of the new season, and before today's game starts, The Heat will also hold a championship ring award ceremony at the American Airlines Arena, and more importantly, the Heat's opponent today is the San Antonio Spurs, and this is also the first game after Meng Xu's comeback.

So today's game is undoubtedly the highest of the three openers, so the ticket price for this game is even more sky-high, the worst position, the cheapest seats have reached $1,200, even so, tickets for the Heat's home game against the Spurs are still hard to find.

When the players on both sides have not yet played, the highlights of the Heat's championship-winning season were already being broadcast on the big screen of the American Airlines Arena, and TNT TV Network, as the broadcaster of today's game, also gave up the remaining two games very forcefully, and invested all its resources and energy into the opening game between the Heat and the Spurs.

"It's out, it's out!" When the visiting Spurs players began to walk out of the players' tunnel, the atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena suddenly became lively, and some of the Sparrows players who were originally ready to give a boo to the Spurs players immediately gave up their original plans and cheered and applauded Meng Xu after seeing that the first to represent the Spurs to walk out of the players' tunnel was Meng Xu wearing the No. 5 jersey.

"This is the audience at the American Airlines Arena, a tribute to the legend of an era." As the applause became more and more enthusiastic, the audience at the American Airlines Arena simply got up and shouted Meng Xu's name while applauding, although today's game is the home of the Heat, but these spectators at the scene are not all Heat fans, it is precisely because fans from all over the United States have flocked to watch the first game after Meng Xu's comeback, Pat Riley dared to give the ticket price of the first home court of the new season so high.

The Spurs players who played after Meng Xu did not have Meng Xu's treatment, although at least half of the fans who came to the American Airlines Arena today were not diehards of the Heat, but the rookie Nando De Collo, who played behind Meng Xu, still received boos from the audience, and Nando De Corlo, who is not very good in psychological quality, was a little weak after hearing this boo.

After the brief appearance ceremony, the first thing to do was the championship ring award ceremony, under the auspices of NBA commissioner David Stern, the owner of the Heat, Allison, and president Pat Riley, who had prepared the championship rings in advance, to the members of the Heat who won the championship last season.

"Meng, welcome back, I hope you can take back your scepter from them!" After the award ceremony of the championship ring, when the audience at the American Airlines Arena was cheering for the championship, David Stern quietly walked to Meng Xu's side without knowing when, and after shaking hands with Meng Xu, he said something that surprised Meng Xu with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Stern." With such a schedule and such a scene, Meng Xu really suspected that Stern had deliberately arranged it this way, using the Heat's championship ring awarding ceremony to stimulate himself, so as to achieve the ulterior plan in his heart.

For the first time as a bystander, witnessing his opponent's championship ring awarding ceremony, Meng Xu's mood was both fresh and complicated, looking at James in the center of the court, in the MVP shouts of the audience, holding the championship ring in his hand high, Meng Xu inevitably recalled the picture when he was in the Pacers, as for a large group of young people behind Meng Xu, they looked at the Heat players who were celebrating wildly with championship rings with envy.

"LeBron, Dwyane, Chris, congratulations." After the championship ring presentation ceremony, Meng Xu, Duncan and others walked directly to the Heat's bench, greeting James and them while also sending blessings to them.

"Thank you, Meng." After seeing Meng Xu coming over, James first thanked Meng Xu with a look of surprise, and then said with a serious face: "I finally have a chance to beat you." “

After James challenged Meng Xu, the smiles on Wade and Bosh who were standing beside James gradually disappeared, and were replaced by embarrassed expressions, they both knew that James wanted to defeat Meng Xu very much, in fact, Wade also wanted to, but at this time, it was somewhat inappropriate to say this kind of thing.

"Haha, LeBron, are you trying to bully me into getting old? I'll tell you, I can still kick your ass right now. After pointing his finger at James, Wade, and Bosh for a circle, Meng Xu smiled and said something that made everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and at the same time eliminated the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene.

After a round of pleasantries, the starters from both sides all walked onto the pitch to do the final warm-up before the game began, and the relaxed atmosphere around them disappeared.

The Heat's starting lineup today has not changed much from last season when they won the championship, and it is still center Chris Bosh, power forward LeBron James, small forward Sean Battier, scoring guard Dwyane Wade, and playmaking guard Mario Chambers.

Due to Meng Xu's comeback and the Lakers' crazy expansion, the Heat has been trying to strengthen this summer, but because the Heat management has always been unwilling to pay the luxury tax, it is impossible to introduce stars who are playing before the game, for a team that has to be broken in half by a middle-class treaty, except for those veterans who want to mix championships, the Heat is really not attractive, and the Heat's biggest reinforcement in this summer is to sign the veteran Ray Allen with 3 years and 953 US dollars.

As for the Spurs, after Meng Xu joined, the Spurs' starting lineup has undergone certain changes, and today's starters are center Tim Duncan, big forward Burris Dio, small forward Meng Xu, scoring guard Kawhi Leonard, organization guard Tony Parker, due to the arrival of Meng Xu, Kowhi Leonard, who originally played small forward, was arranged by Popovich to the position of scoring guard, just like Tyshawn Prince of the Pacers, the main role on the court is to defend the opponent's outside arrows, as well as limited scoring ability.

"Chris Bosh is really miserable, he will lose to Tim Duncan, an old guy who can't even run and jump when he jumps." After a simple warm-up, the focus battle of the Heat's home game against the Spurs officially began, but after the two teams jumped the ball, the commentary bench on the sidelines was already laughing, and Chris Bosh, known as the best power forward in the league after the "five big forwards", lost to Tim Duncan without the slightest reaction when he jumped the ball.
