Chapter 55: Heat

The Heat's disgraced departure at North Shore Gardens has given Philadelphia fans hope of beating the super-luxury team.

The next day, when night fell, the Wajovia Center Arena was brightly lit.

Enthusiastic fans lined up in a long line, winding like a dragon, and entered the stadium in an orderly manner. The giant boom outside the stadium set up the live broadcast camera, and when the camera passed in front of the fans, they were hugely welcomed by the fans, who posed in front of the camera without timidity, some pointing to their No. 9 jerseys, and some shouting with their mouths wide open.

Tang Wenlong followed the team and was ready in the arena for a long time, and their 76ers had been repairing for four days, which can be regarded as recuperation.

Iguodala, Elton and other team bigwigs looked extremely solemn, and when everyone in the locker room prepared their clothes, they felt a slight unusual atmosphere.

"The Heat are obviously in a run-in period, we have a 70% chance of beating them, as long as we play hard, play our cooperation, play our tactics, we can get the final victory." Coach Doug Collins cheered his players on loud in the dressing room, and he didn't want the players to lose a sense of motivation as soon as they heard the names of the trio opposite.

After saying it for a while, Doug Collins cleared his throat and then began to announce the starters for the game.

He deliberately swept his gaze to Tang Wenlong's body, and then spoke: "Andre, Elton, Spencer, Zhu, and Tang Wenlong!" ”

Tang Wenlong looked at Collins with burning eyes, and after hearing his name, he secretly roared and cheered for himself.

"This game is still a live broadcast of ESPN, you should perform well, don't be hacked by others." Before going out, Iguodala secretly said to Tang Wenlong, a little half-joking.

"Don't worry." Tang Wenlong made an OK gesture.

**For the Heat's entire season, after all, when it comes to the whole summer, there is nothing more eye-catching than the Heat's gathering of the Big Three.

"Gathering the Big Three and not being able to summon the Divine Dragon, make a fuss." Tang Wenlong complained silently in his heart.

At this time, in the studio hall of **, Clark Kellogg and Kevin Harlan formed the commentary lineup for this game. Both of them are very good commentators, and their voices are very recognizable, especially Kevin Harlan, as the queen commentator of the famous NBA game company 2k games, his voice has left a deep shadow in the hearts of gamers.

"Mr. Clark, can you evaluate the summer operations of the two teams separately before the game starts? Because I've seen in a lot of media that there are a lot of opinions about the summer operation of both teams. Kevin Harlan smiled and said.

Clark was clearly prepared and said unhurriedly: "Of course, the two teams have taken very different approaches to summer operations. The Heat team we all know that this season has brought in two superstars LeBron James and Chris Bosh, the former averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game last season, and the latter averaged 24 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. And the latter picked up the talented Tang Wenlong in the draft, and the young man's performance in the preseason has won the coach's description, and he is the starting point guard of the 76ers today. ”

"It's hard to say whether the winners are good or bad, but the two teams have done their best in the summer to meet the needs of their respective teams." After he finished, he added this sentence.

Kevin Harlan went on to ask, "Which team do you think has a better chance of winning this game?" ”

Clark Kellogg secretly scolded how to keep mentioning this kind of problem that will be slapped in the face if he doesn't do it well, but he still showed a standard smile on his face, pondered for a moment and said, "It's still the Heat." ”

"Can you explain why?" Kevin Harlan was a bit of a diking today, chasing Clarke

Tang Wenlong walked out of the players' tunnel, and before he walked into the field, he heard a noisy sound of "buzzing" in his ears, as if tens of thousands of people were talking in his ears at the same time.

"This" his face changed, and he quickly walked out of the passage.

Wow!

In the spectator seats, the spectators in the entire arena sat to watch the game.

Where had Tang Wenlong seen so many people, and he was a little surprised and a little apprehensive.

"Some of them are our fans, some are Heat fans, and more of them are just people who come to watch the game, and it can also be understood as people who are looking for some fun after getting off work after a long day." Nocioni saw Tang Wenlong looking around like a curious baby, so he secretly explained in his ear.

"There are so many, not that it's usually only more than fifty percent, but now it looks like it's more than seventy percent before I finish sitting." Tang Wenlong told the truth.

"Bang!" He was hit on the back of the head by Nocioni, "What nonsense, if you play well, you will naturally see more people, not to mention that today is because of the first game of the season, and in the future, our attendance will also catch up with New York and Los Angeles!" ”

Tang Wenlong blinked aggrievedly, feeling as if he hadn't said anything wrong.

While the two were talking, they walked onto the floor, and the staff brought baskets of basketballs, and then everyone wore the 76ers' long coats and trousers to do some simple warm-up training in their own half. "Hey, there are actually fans who wear No. 1, and there are quite a few!" During training, Nocioni came running over with a fart, this old fritter and Tang Wenlong talked very well, and the two of them often whispered together secretly. Nocioni once patted his chest and told Tang Wenlong that he was going to teach Tang Wenlong all his small movement skills.

Tang Wenlong said I don't want it, he is a righteous and bright person

Ten minutes later, the stadium was already full of people, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least 18,000 people seated in the 20,000-capacity Wachovia Center Arena.

After receiving the referee's arrangement, the DJ on the scene reminded the players on the field to finish the warm-up according to the normal schedule.

So, it was time for the live DJ to introduce the players to the factory.

The away team is in front, the home team is in the back.

No matter how big-name a star is, when he walks on someone else's field, he will always be booed, especially after playing such a farce like James in the summer, he has become the target of many indignant fans.

However, his face remained the same, and when he was in the North Shore Garden, he was booed every time he took the ball, and he had long been accustomed to this level of ridicule.

Next came the 76ers' appearance ceremony, which started with seven of the 12 players off the bench, and everyone was greeted with applause and cheers.

The starting lineup has a bit of a change in the ceremony, with seven bench players lined up in two rows in front of the bench, leaving one aisle to pass through, which is also the most common appearance ceremony in the NBA. "Now, let's welcome, a six-foot-seven-inch shooting guard from Syracuse University, Don Wen Dragon!"

When Tang Wenlong's name was called, his heart thumped, and then he stood up from the bench, high-fived his teammates who stretched out his palms from the aisle, and shook through the aisle step by step.

Many yellow-skinned fans in the audience cheered vigorously, and after the two were added, the cheers were actually not small.

This was followed by Jrue Holiday, Spencer Hawes, Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala. When Iguodala came out on the pitch, the cheers of the crowd reached their peak, and all the fans applauded or screamed in an earth-shattering high-decibel cheer, and Iguodala naturally waved his hands to interact with the crowd, then clapped with his teammates on either side of the tunnel and ran to the other side.

After the appearance ceremony, the arms hooked together and formed a circle, and Iguodala was in the middle of the circle, saying rap words to encourage the morale of the crowd.

Under such continuous cheers, it was a noisy mess, Tang Wenlong was a little farther away, and he didn't hear what Iguodala said at all, only a few syllables, probably a heat, overturned or something

After this series of ceremonies is completed, the lighting of the scene is changed, the visibility is greatly improved, and it becomes normal lighting.

Several referees had already prepared the basketball, and then after seeing that the time was almost up, they motioned for everyone to hurry up and stand on the court.

The Heat's players are naturally ready, and they are not their home court, so there is really not much need to interact with the audience, and the 76ers' players are not particularly outgoing, and after a while, they also stood on the court, Tang Wenlong stood by Dwyane Wade's side with excitement.

"Hello, Dwyan."

A superstar of Wade's level, Tang Wenlong is still the first time to see a real person, at that time in high school, but there are a lot of fans who are obsessed with Wade, Tang Wenlong himself also has a pair of Wade's sneakers, and now they are all at home in Xiyang City, and they are also his favorite players.

Wade was slightly stunned, this guy who looked a little as handsome as him actually ran over and said hello to him?

He smiled with interest, it was the first time he had seen him after so many years in the NBA.

He immediately nodded in a friendly manner and responded, "Hello, little rookie." ”
