Miami International Airport, the largest air port on the South Coast, has been ranked 19th in the world in terms of annual passenger throughput and 6th in the world in terms of cargo throughput. It's supposed to be the second-busiest airport on the southeast coast of the United States, and if it weren't for the Disney Center giving Orlando International Airport too many points, maybe the top spot on the south coast would be here.

Miami's residents have always been half-dismissive, half-envious in their self-consolation, that Orlando's Disney Center, which is in dire straits in terms of star-making power and market value, is nothing short of Miami's beaches, sunshine, palm trees and passionate South Coast girls...... But apparently the young people who come to Orlando every year with enthusiasm and anticipation don't think so......

Addison arrived at the airport around 8:00 a.m., which was too early for Miamians accustomed to the peaceful, laid-back lifestyle, and there weren't many people in the entire departure hall. Addison sat in the corner of the hall, wearing a hat half-hidden, silently fiddling with his phone. In the early morning, the airport was sparsely crowded, and occasionally one or two people recognized Addison sitting in the corner, and only politely stepped forward to ask if they could take a photo with him. Whenever this happens, Addison will smile and agree, without any rejection.

The fans here are his most loyal supporters, the ones who will stand behind him and cheer no matter what, so Addison treats them with all his heart. The Miami fans are lovely, hungry for victory and contented, not as critical as the Los Angeles fans, not as wall-to-wall as the New York City fans, and not as indifferent as the Houston fans. They are full of enthusiasm at all times, and even when the team is at a low point, they will unswervingly fill the American Airlines arena, which Wade is undoubtedly the most direct witness.

"Hey, the superstar over there! Can you help me get a direct taxi to Ritz Kelton? A deep exaggerated shout came from the passenger tunnel in the distance, and Addison laughed without even turning to look. Among the few friends he knows, there is only one who is so "energetic" in his words and deeds.

Jersey. Granger strode toward it, his powerful physique more angular than it had been when they met last summer. The hot weather in Miami in May made him wear only a sports vest and cropped shorts, and the strong muscle lines on his arms were undoubtedly exposed, which caused several women in the airport to directly cast their hormonal hot eyes.

But by this time Granger was already accompanied by a slender and good-looking white girl, a young woman holding one of Granger's strong arms, with a brisk and smug smile on her face. Being the girlfriend of an NFL supernova is indeed something that women should be proud of in the United States, knowing that the popularity and influence of the NFL in the North American continent are even more popular than the NBA.

"Wow...... This lonely guy ......" made Addison half speechless and half envious whisper, he admired Granger's ability to "make friends", and he himself was still in the stage where he didn't know how to talk to a strange girl.

"I'm punctual, aren't I? Have you reserved the most prominent seat for me in the VIP seats at the American Airlines Arena? Granger patted Addison warmly on the shoulder, and he and his girlfriend each carried a backpack, completely light.

"Do you think you're a Hollywood superstar? Or Wall Street's financing giants? Addison rolled his eyes teasingly, "Don't worry, the first row of the auditorium at the American Airlines Arena ...... However, the most prominent place is reserved for Alonzo. Mourning, he'll be in the arena tonight to watch the game. ”

Granger put on an expression of amazement, and he would have loved to see the Heat's legendary center in person. However, the white girl in his narration was not shocked by the news, but shook Granger's arm impatiently: "Won't you introduce me, dear?" ”

"That's right, come on, bro, let's get to know." Jersey. Granger grinned and scratched his short pale hair, "This is Erin. Clytz, the hottest graphic model of & A in the past two years, we met when we were shooting magazine covers. ”

Yikes...... This guy is really good, he can hook the model girl with a magazine cover...... To be honest, he doesn't look that handsome...... Shouldn't you really find a time to learn from him......

Addison sighed more and more quietly in his heart, but Addison didn't believe a word of nonsense that the other party said, such as "give your heart and all your love". Knew Jersey from him. From that day to now, Granger has used this kind of rhetoric many times among the girls he has seen.

Thinking of this, the young Chinese even glanced at the girl in front of him with some intriguing eyes, who knows if after these two people get to know each other's 'strengths' and 'depths' enough, will Granger find the next one to dedicate "heart and all love......

Addison didn't say anything more, and left the airport with Granger and Erin to the hotel that had been arranged for them. Of course, it couldn't be the Ritz Kelton Hotel of Granger's fantasy, and even if Addison was now in a small surplus, he wouldn't be so crazy about spoiling his savings.

The whereabouts of the trio were discovered and photographed by quite a few people as they left the airport, and soon Addison greeted Jersey at the airport. Granger's news spread from various platforms such as Twitter and INS. The news spread at an astonishing rate, with NBA supernovas and NFL supernovas meeting at the airport, and most Heat and Baltimore Ravens fans know that Addison and Granger were good friends during their time at Duke University, and Granger's purpose in coming to Miami couldn't be more obvious — he was here to cheer on his friends.

Many well-wishers discussed Addison and Jersey with relish at the forum. The question of which of the two major league rookies will contribute more to the team, but the difference in their careers and on-court assignments makes it difficult for discussants to convince each other of the results. Of course, there is one conclusion that they all admit, that is, Addison and Granger have largely subverted people's notion of "Duke production, heavy offense and light defense", and the last person to do this may be Sean. Battier.

"Your stadium is going to be filled with a lot of dazzling spectators tonight, are you ready?" Addison arrived on the pitch two hours before the start of the game and did his usual individual training to get his body and feel into the groove before the start of the game. Gary. Payton naturally accompanied the Chinese point guard to the court early to coach him in pregame practice.

"My form doesn't change because of the big names in the audience, I'm always ready, Gary...... Especially on my home turf. Addison stopped his pull-up jump shot and replied in his much smoother, calmer tone. If there is one thing that sets Addison apart from other players, it is undoubtedly his unwavering self-confidence, and his eternal calm and calmness, which will turn into a sharper and sharper indifference when on the field.

Payton watched the opponent re-engage in shooting practice, involuntarily smiled knowingly, and continued to pass the ball to Addison one after another: "yes, this is your home field now, Eddie." Don't let down the people who guarded this place before you, and of course, don't let your home qualification slip away again......"

Addison glanced at Gary. Payton, of course, knew what the legendary point guard meant by the long-retired point guard, but he didn't respond to that, except for a meaningful look. The sound of the basketball rubbing against the hoop kept ringing, and the two of them didn't talk about anything anymore, just continued their usual monotonous training step by step.

As time passed, the American Airlines arena began to fill with a sense of noise and anticipation, and more and more Miami fans wearing T-shirts from the Heat's home stadium poured into the audience. Addison also stopped training at the right time, put on his long-sleeved tracksuit again, and sat on the floor on the sidelines to relax his joints and muscles. He asked the staff for two compressed bars and chewed them slowly to give him a little energy before the game.

Alonzo. Mourning is back on the court, and it seems he doesn't want to miss the Heat's home game. What's even more surprising is that even Dwyan, who is still in the injury period. Wade and Chris. Bosh was also on the scene, and both men sat in the back row of the Heat's bench in crisp suits. Wade, who still wears a thick protective gear on his right leg, limped when he first walked in, but even his presence drew a tsunami of cheers and applause from the American Airlines Arena.

Wade is the soul of the Heat at all times, and as long as he is there, Miami's soul is stronger than ever.

"You're a little too early, Dwyan, I haven't given you the Eastern Conference Finals as a gift yet." Addison walked over and high-fived Wade with a smile, "Don't tell me you're wearing the Heat's No. 3 jersey inside your suit and your 'Wade's Way' is in the locker." ”

"Don't worry, boy, I can't do anything but be a burden when I'm in this state. If I insisted on playing, Eric would have knocked me unconscious with a crowbar. Wade shrugged unconcernedly, he was here today with his eldest son, Zaire, to be a loyal spectator.

"Give me a good victory, Addison! I've beaten LeBron Jr. more than once in the AUU League. James, LBJ's eldest son)! You're sure you'll be fine! "Zaire. Wade looked at Addison with sparkling eyes, and he was thrilled every time he came to the NBA court, and this was the place he dreamed of conquering in the future.

Addison raised an eyebrow and stretched out his left hand to punch Zaire. The child's innocent and determined appearance reminded him of his first time on the middle school court, the self who was really full of basketball and had no impurities.

"You're right, Zaire, I'll give you this victory in two hours! Steadfast support for my little one, wait and see! ”
