Chapter 144: Easy First Victory

The preseason passed quickly, with eight games and the Heat winning five and losing three, but it didn't say anything.

It's just that the squad has finally been determined, and there are no surprises, except for Zhang Xiaotian, the biggest change from last season, and the rest is to prepare the inside.

Their style of play, the blue-collar inside line can't be on for a few minutes.

In order to welcome the new season and strengthen the cohesion of the team, James invited guests to nightclubs.

His teammates are very high, except for Zhang Xiaotian, he still doesn't like the nightclub culture so much, he thinks that kind of place is too noisy.

James is a player who pays attention to his image, so he leads the team to go to nightclubs, and will specially greet those flesh and bones to keep them close, even the music that this guy likes is also very noisy.

"Hey, buddy, there's a girl over there who says it's your acquaintance, I didn't expect you to come over for so long, tsk......" Norris Cole held a bottle of beer with a look on his face, you know.

The young man is definitely not as well hidden as the old guy, if it weren't for the more important thing to please the big guy, he wouldn't have been able to help but go to the girl.

Zhang Xiaotian looked outside, and there were several women who were very scantily dressed and wanted to come over but were stopped.

Looking at those heavy makeup, Zhang Xiaotian felt a little face blind.

One of them, a skinny blonde girl, called out to him, and he remembered that it seemed to be a small model under Eddie, who had met a few times, and was probably not in Eddie's company now.

I still know each other, Zhang Xiaotian went over to say hello.

"Zhang, can you please give me a drink?" The blonde girl stroked her long hair and said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaotian looked at the other party and smiled, "No problem." ”

The blonde girl pulled Zhang Xiaotian and walked towards a relatively quiet area, and the other women suddenly showed envious looks.

When the two were alone, the girl leaned on Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian dodged silently, and then revealed the ring on his finger.

When he and Yang Feiyu separated, Yang Feiyu bought a pair of rings, and he deliberately took them into the nightclub.

The blonde girl's face flushed slightly, but she still leaned over, "Zhang, I like you, I won't destroy your family, I don't know anyone in Miami......"

"Stop." Zhang Xiaotian is not a saint, but he has no interest in such a woman, and he came with him because he once knew him.

"I remember that you used to be a very hard girl, some of the methods seem to be shortcuts, but in fact it is more difficult to succeed than hard work, and it comes with greater risks, I didn't come to preach, but everyone knows, I just invite you to have a drink."

"Eddie, he's working hard right now."

The blonde girl had tears in her eyes, and she looked like Zhang Xiaotian had bullied someone.

Zhang Xiaotian also ran away, and it seemed that saving the girl's soul was not suitable for him.

Seeing Zhang Xiaotian walking back again, a group of younger brothers walked over around James, who was wearing headphones and singing and dancing.

"Zhang, your choice is right, those women will only cause you trouble, we basketball players need to understand what is the most important thing, only by concentrating on the pursuit of victory, we will gain more."

The little brother next to him is full of sycophants, and James is very satisfied with this mentor-like role.

Zhang Xiaotian was a little embarrassed, and sat back where he was staying before.

The emotional contact is still quite successful, although there are unsociable players who did not come, although the players who have been friends with James are all strong supporters, James still feels that he has let Zhang Xiaotian and other new players unite to his side.

After going back, Zhang Xiaotian shared the situation encountered in the nightclub with Yang Feiyu, Yang Feiyu immediately had a sense of crisis, and planned to come over to supervise Zhang Xiaotian for a period of time, and the two of them also got the certificate.

When the time comes, it will be much more convenient to invest in business, and the identity of husband and wife will also be a lot more convenient.

On October 29th, the regular season of the new season finally began.

The Heat's first opponent was at home against the Bulls.

The biggest change for the Bulls is undoubtedly the return of Derrick Rose, but it is unknown how much skill the former regular season MVP still has.

Injuries are the great enemy of athletes, Zhang Xiaotian has always been very self-disciplined since he entered the league, and worrying about injuries is also one of the reasons.

The Bulls' starting lineup is also tall, with Jimmy Butler being placed in the starting lineup.

Jimmy Butler's late season and playoff performances impressed Bulls management, and he has now become a key young player for the team.

It's just that because of some conflicts with Lore Deng's position, he is now playing the second position and starting with Lore Deng.

Zhang Xiaotian was also very moved to see Jimmy Butler being taken seriously, when they met for the first time last season, Jimmy Butler was still a soy sauce that was not valued by him, and he turned over to be the master in a short time.

Pity him, I don't know how long it will take to get this treatment.

On the Heat's side, let him start the No. 3 position.

Although the Bulls have a high starting lineup, they are not the kind of twin towers on the inside, and in terms of rebounding, Boozer may not be able to steal James.

Once the game started, both sides didn't hit high shots, and the intensity of the regular season was noticeably different from the preseason.

In addition, the Bulls have a better defense and a bit of a grudge with the Heat, and the two teams have been competing from the beginning.

For Zhang Xiaotian, Luol Deng is a difficult guy to deal with.

The tall guy who can attack and defend is troublesome, but Luol Deng is not ruthless enough.

After the match, you can feel that there is strength and skill, but there is still something short of the top striker.

After Zhang Xiaoangel played his best entanglement confrontation, Luol Deng actually chose to shoot on the outside many times.

From beyond the three-point line, Luol Deng's threat plummeted.

However, his defense also made Zhang Xiaotian very uncomfortable, fortunately, everyone's shooting rate was not high in the first quarter, Zhang Xiaotian could be swapped with Lore Deng with an annual salary of 10 million, and the Heat should be very satisfied.

Playing a team like the Bulls, veterans like Ray Allen and Battier who focus on three-point shooting get more opportunities.

So during the rotation period, the Heat completely destroyed the Bulls.

Relying on a three-point rain, the Heat directly shook off the Bulls by 20 points.

Boozer played happily on the inside, but the Heat didn't care about him at all, and Boozer's jumper couldn't kill the Heat.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't have any performance at this time, so he was worried that the team would be on the bench.

However, the Heat's Bo Shuai and the Spurs' Bo Shuai are still different, Spoelstra just let the main team rest for a few more minutes, and the substitutions are decent.

However, the Bulls took the initiative to remove center Noah and wanted to chase points by shooting.

But compared to the Heat, they are clearly not that piece of material.

With three minutes left in the game, Zhang Xiaotian received a pass from James and hit a three-pointer, and the score finally reached 10 points.

He was very satisfied with the opponent's double-double, James was also satisfied with one more assist, and the Heat beat the Bulls 107-95 in the first game.
