Chapter 135: Old Fellows
"Shhh...... I don't seem to see any change...... "Chris. Bosh looked at Addison, who was warming up on the field, and muttered to himself, "If you still don't say a word, could it be that the psychiatrist is not good......
"If you can get a person with aphasia to speak in two visits, it's a medical miracle." Dwyan. Wade slapped his teammate on the arm, "In my opinion, aphasia like Eddie's that has lasted so long can't be cured in a year or two." ”
The Heat were warming up on the court for a game against the Dallas Mavericks, having beaten Jimmy by seven points in Chicago four days earlier. Butler and Paul. Gasol's Bulls then lost to the Bucks for the third time this season in Milwaukee, where the weather was dry and cold.
The game against the Mavericks was the Heat's last game of the month of January, and TNT once again snatched the rights to the game that was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States.
'I respect Nowitzki's team and I respect him personally. Although his style of play is not the kind I like, I still admire his achievements. "Reggie. Miller's opening lines have a strong Miller-esque style.
"Yes, that German has won a championship ring, and it's FMVP...... You really should admire his achievements, Reggie. Kevin. Harlan smiled wickedly, raising an eyebrow at Miller teasingly.
"Kevin, you damn bastard, I'm going to say that from the live audience, you bastard." Reggie. Miller said with a dark face, he and Charles. Barkley is a difficult brother who has not won a championship in his career, and has always been very shy about mentioning this matter, "Are you going to force me to wear a jersey and come back?" ”
"Haha, Reggie, do you think you can still score on the court now?"
"Dude, you're provoking the dignity of a legendary shooter," Reggie said. Miller straightened the placket of his suit and responded with a serious expression, "Even now, as long as I wear a jersey and touch the basketball in my hand, I can still shoot in high-intensity games...... My body and soul were telling me there was no problem. ”
"Did your body and soul tell you how much you should be able to earn an annual salary?"
"Anyway, I don't accept contract offers under $10 million...... Reggie said. Miller rolled his eyes jokingly, "You know what, Kevin?" I'm thinking about whether or not to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend Shooting Stars contest, and I think that's a good fit for me! ”
"Really?! God, I was going to be with you this year to talk about the All-Star Game! Kevin. Harlan exaggerated his regret.
"I guess the boss will arrange for you and Charles to explain together...... Don't worry, Kevin, any of TNT's narrators are humorous and 'approachable'. ”
"To hell with it! I highly doubt that if I had teased Charles or Shaq in the commentary, they would have found a secluded spot in the players' tunnel! Kevin. Harlan let his expression pretend to be panicked and annoyed, "I can't beat those two big fat men!! ”
The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV laughed when they saw this. Harlan's words made up that kind of scene in their heads, and it was ridiculous to think about it.

"It's the first time I've been to the United States so far, and it's the first time I've sat in the audience at a basketball game." The slender and petite girl held her delicate chin with both hands, and her face was as beautiful as an ink painting facing the court, "But ...... It's so noisy here......"
"Hmm...... This is the atmosphere of the NBA, and when the game officially starts, you listen to the decibels cheered by the fans in the stadium, and that's when the real crowd is boiling. Unlike the girl's uninteresting appearance, the agent sat next to her with an excited expression with her eyes shining.
Li Jingyi glanced sideways, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "I can't imagine it, Sister Yue, you are so interested in basketball." I always thought you were the kind of woman who only likes fashion magazines and entertainment news. ”
"I can't help it, I don't have a chance to like basketball anymore after I work." The agent shrugged his shoulders, "I think when I was in high school, I was still a member of the school's girls' basketball team...... You know Cheryl. Miller? It's the thin sister on the live broadcast seat now, that's my idol at the time! ”
The girl smiled gently and kindly, and waited until the agent finished expressing her feelings before shaking her head with a smile: "I don't know." ”
Even though the agent knocked on her head speechlessly, the girl still had a smile on her face, and she looked back at the field that had been cleaned up by the staff of the American Airlines Arena.
"But why did I come? My English is very poor, and it doesn't seem to fit the aesthetics of Europe and the United States. Li Jingyi wrinkled her nose helplessly, "I didn't win the first place in the general election last year." ”
The agent smiled slightly, and smoothed the hair of the sideburns for the girl next to him: "Because you are the company's favorite, the candidate with the most potential to become popular, and the candidate who is most willing to take risks to pave the way for you to use this method......"
The girl's pale cheeks unconsciously flushed with a touch of powder, she was not very suitable for such a straightforward expression.
"Besides, aren't you a beautiful girl who will only come out once in 4,000 years?"
"Please, Sister Yue! That's a translation error, okay?! Now I'm speechless when I mention this! The girl buried her face in her hands, and her face grew redder.
"Alright, alright, the game is about to start." The agent patted Li Jingyi on the shoulder, "Pay attention to your demeanor, this position is very conspicuous, and the live camera will sweep over at any time." ”

The Mavericks currently have a 30-17 record and are in the bottom half of the Western Conference playoff ranks. The 30-17 team can only finish at the bottom of the playoff ranks in the West, while the Heat, who now have only 28 wins, are in fourth place in the East.
The Mavericks' starting point guard for this game is point guard Rajan. Rondo, shooting guard Monta. Ellis, small forward Richard. Jefferson, power forward Dirk. Nowitzki, center Tyson. Chandler
The Heat are standard: Addison, Wade, Ruhr. Deng, Bosh, and Whiteside
"Basically, it's an old guys game against the old guys." Kevin. Harlan said with interest, "The average age of the Heat's players is already quite small, but the guys on the other side are even better, and the youngest starter is actually 29-year-old Monta. Ellis. ”
"But no one will look down on these old guys because of their age, the whole world knows that there are no weak teams in Texas, and these fierce cowboys will take out and shoot wildly at any time." Reggie. Miller looked at the players who started on both sides, "Especially the German, no one in the big man I've ever seen has a longer range than him. ”
Addison stood on the court and tightened his knee pads, and a player like him who is good at breaking through has always taken knee protection very seriously. The Chinese rookie who straightened up straightened up with an expressionless face and straightened the bracer on his right hand and covered the tattoo on the back of his wrist tightly.
The referee walked to the middle of the court with the basketball, and the Miami fans shouted loudly and feverishly for the team.
With a shrill whistle, Whiteside and Tyson. Chandler leaped high, both arms reaching into the air for a spinning brown-red ball.
The competition is officially on!
