Florida American Airlines Center, a modern stadium that can accommodate 20,000 fans, quietly lies dormant on the East Coast, witnessing the Heat's more than ten years of history with an inclusive gaze.

The Heat joined the league in 1988 when the NBA expanded its ranks, and like most new teams, the Heat went through dark times when they first entered the league.

Later, after experiencing the difficulties of previous seasons, in the 1995-1996 season, the famous NBA coach, "God Operator" Pat Riley became the head coach of the Heat, and then introduced the famous iron man, so that the Heat team has the light of victory and the spirit of toughness.

At that time, the American Airlines Center was a famous tough guy Colosseum, and the Heat were also one of the most tenacious teams in the NBA.

This stadium, which has witnessed countless heavyweight events, became lit up again tonight, and the two teams gathered together with 30 tough guys.

Chamberlain and Wade are both well-known ticket sellers, and despite the Heat's poor record right now, tickets for this game are still sold out early.

Many fans who couldn't buy tickets beat their chests and felt sorry for their lives, because of the previous verbal cannon battle between Riley and Nelson Sr., this game suddenly smelled of gunpowder.

Whether a game is exciting or not has little to do with how many stars there are, even if there are more NBA stars, how many can there be? The total number of players is only 300, and the fans are tired of watching it.

On the contrary, it is the kind of collision of rival teams that attracts fans more to watch, which is why the NBA has been shaping rival teams.

Starting with the black and white double evil and the magic bird battle in the 70s, the bad boy army provoked the whole league in the 80s, and in the 90s, it was Jordan and Miller and Drexler and Utah double smash.

All in all, the history of the NBA is a history of conflict.

But this glorious tradition has taken a break in the 21st century, as the 1999 shutdown made it clear to everyone that the NBA is a business.

Since it's a business field, then everyone must be friendly and rich, so there is no longer that kind of life-and-death confrontation between the stars, but hello, hello, hello, everyone, it's really good, let's brush together, scrub scrub, scrub.

In this way, the NBA will undoubtedly be much less interesting, even if there are more and more fans, but there is no longer the passion of fans watching the NBA in the eighties and nineties.

The war of words between Nelson Sr. and Riley restarted the battle.

In the past, Riley rarely came to the scene during the game since he handed over the coaching whip, because it was too much pressure on the head coach, and the media would say that he was greedy for authority, Riley was very good at life, he often went to the training game, still practiced the team, but would not come to the gym to show his head again.

But today, he had to come.

Riley, with his godfather-style hairstyle and grim expression, entered the arena early and was on the bench.

Old Nelson leads the team, he walks into the arena and sees Riley, the old man's eyes collide in the air, and the war begins.

Generally speaking, the meeting between rookie boys is very hot, the old handsomes are all people with status, even if they hate each other behind their backs, they grit their teeth, but in reality, they will smile and greet each other and even hug each other.

The old handsomes are all born politicians, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes after all.

Thanks to the old Nelson, he constantly refreshed the impression of the head coach, and when he saw Riley this time, he actually made a throat-cutting action.

Riley was originally silent, but seeing his singing voice, the godfather of the heat was angry: This is my territory, do you want to be so arrogant? Didn't say it, I have to get you!

So, the old godfather raised his middle finger!

The reporters were going crazy, the cameras were crackling, the fans were laughing, they were just more excited, and they didn't attack the two bosses.

Chamberlain and the others were dumbfounded, don't you want to be so exciting, old man, James Howard and Kobe Bryant and I have been fighting openly and secretly to this point, we haven't done it yet, are you setting an example for us?

In front of the TV, the new NBA commissioner Adam Shaw smiled with satisfaction.

Before the game, old Nelson threw away the tactical board directly, tore Chamberlain's collar, looked at the group of people with fierce eyes, and yelled: "Listen to the, I don't care what tactics I have today, as long as I can score and win, it is a good tactic, I must win today, if you lose, I swear, I will train you like Riley's dead old man!" ”

Chamberlain nodded and said: "Guys, cheer up, the black cat and the white cat catch the mouse is a good cat, the tactics don't matter, let's play freely, bloody Miami!" ”

West did the same, and shouted, "Yes, male and female dogs, the one who can take care of the home is a good dog!" Hand me the balls and I'll send these sons of bitches home! ”

Iverson was about to say a few words, but suddenly reacted, glared at West, and said, "Damn, it's us who are fighting away, and it's also us who go home!" You idiot, nonsense! ”

West thought about it, and it was indeed the case, and he became depressed.

On the Heat side, the young Shuai was just about to cheer up the players, and Riley had already walked over with a gloomy face.

It has been rumored that the reason why the Heat chose Spoelstra as a rookie coach is to facilitate Riley's listening to politics.

Spoelstra was a post-70s man who was just over 35 when he became head coach, the first Filipino-American coach of any professional sports team in North America, and he worked for the Heat, serving as an assistant coach and director of scouting for the Heat from 2001 to 2008, and then as head coach after Riley stepped down in 2008.

Despite his young age, Spoelstra is a traditional coach who, like his predecessor Riley, still has a defensive-first philosophy.

Of course, the tradition is also targeted, Si Shuai pays attention to defense and half-court offense and defense, but he does not use the old-fashioned tactical board, let alone give players tactical manuals and the like, he uses the IPAD, and the tactical manual has also been converted into an electronic version and copied into each player's computer.

STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYERS, SHUAI HELD THE IPAD IN THE FINAL TACTICAL DEPLOYMENT: "TODAY WE ARE GOING TO SHORTEN THE TIME OF EACH ATTACK, DWYANE IS IN CHARGE OF THE GENERAL ATTACK, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE FORMATION OF MISPLACED OPPORTUNITIES......"

Riley walked over, and Si Shuai, who was talking eloquently, touched his nose and honestly gave up the core position.

"I have to win today, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but I want to tell you that the Bulls will kill their opponents when they are provoked, and I want to see what you do." Riley said, staring at Wade blankly.

Wade dreamed of being the next Jordan, he was a Chicagoan, and Jordan was a superhero in his heart.

Riley said a few words out of the way, motioned for Si Shuai to continue to lay out the tactics, and when the players were ready to play, he frowned and said to Si Shuai: "What is this thing you are using to explain tactics now?" Are you sure the players' attention is on that thing? ”

Shuai studied under Riley, but he is more fashionable than his mentor, who is closer to his players' age, and he understands that to achieve better communication with his players, he must first make a fuss about the equipment.

So, in addition to handing out paper-bound playbooks to the Heat players, he also gave each of them an Apple-made iPod touch Mp4 player. This MP4 is pre-stocked with abridged tactical summaries, game footage, league and team regulations, quoted articles, and even newspaper news reports.

Spoelstra hurriedly said: "Teacher, I use an iPod instead of a traditional tactical book to arouse the interest of the players, shorten the generation gap with them, and achieve more effective communication - especially with young players. Moreover, the iPod is smaller and lighter, which is easy to carry, and at the same time, the storage of information is more convenient and not easy to lose. ”

"The paper-based playbook is over 300 pages long, and the average person would be discouraged by this size," Spoelstra added, not wanting to make a bad impression on Riley's mind, "and the players on our team have some digital gadgets like that, and they all have iPods and they seem to be very keen on them, so it's just a way to communicate with them." ”

Riley doesn't have time for all this, he has more important things to do, and that's watching the game that is ready to start.

The Heat's lineup is: center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Haslem, small forward Beasley, scoring guard Wade, and playmaking guard Arroyo.

On the Warriors' side, the lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, scoring guard West, and playmaking guard Billups.

Iverson was officially slowly retiring from the starting lineup, and Riley hoped that he would make a fuss, but disappointed him, Iverson sat on the bench and grinned and bragged at Barnes, and he had no objection to Nelson Sr.'s arrangement.

All-Star starters who couldn't make the regular season team starters, Riley sneered.

Si Shuai admired the old Nelson's wrist, Iverson can be so obedient, it is really envious, jealous and hateful, he does not have many problem players under him, just a Beasley, he is still a rookie, but he can't train this guy.

Beasley does have a lot of problems right now, but of course his talent is unquestionable, and he was a rookie last season, with a scoring efficiency of 22 per 40 minutes. 4 as much.

While it's a bit unrealistic to expect Beasley to mature or become professional right away, as long as he grows a little more, he can share a lot of the pressure on Wade, which is why the boss has always put him in the starting lineup.

More or less, Si Shuai is still dreaming, hoping that one day Beasley will find his way back, and suddenly the prodigal son will go back and play seriously, so that the cooperation between him and Wade is absolutely strong.

But he must have been disappointed, Beasley stood sullenly on the halfway line after the game, Chamberlain came up, he suddenly came up and gave a thumbs up, and said, "Brothers, well done!" ”

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain was confused by his brainless words.

Beasley's eyebrows fluttered, "Because you're fucking that old bastard of Riley, shit, God knows, he's a dead pervert, I don't know why he's not dead!" Now I am tortured by him very badly, God, really, if he doesn't die, I will be tortured to death by him. ”

Feeling like you don't belong to the team is a freak like Beasley.

Chamberlain put his arm on his shoulder affectionately and whispered, "Why don't you come to our team like this?" Our vibe is good, and Nelson Sr. hates pressing players the most. ”

Hearing this, Beasley was overjoyed and asked, "Really?" So how can I go? ”

Cold sweat began to flow on Chamberlain's back, and the kid said that he was brain-dead, but it was really not an insult to him.

Although Wade couldn't hear Beasley and Chamberlain muttering together, he was too familiar with this comrade-in-arms, and he never had anything good to say, so he shouted: "Boy, come back, ready to play." ”

Beasley sighed, he was not afraid of Wade, but Riley was eyeing him off the court, he didn't dare to go too far, so he walked to Wade's side unhappily.

It was O'Neal Jr. who jumped the ball with Chamberlain, but he is no longer the talented interior who can call the Pacers around, and he is not only old now, but also badly injured.

In the previous two seasons, O'Neal Jr. averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game, but this season has seen a significant decline, and so far, he has averaged only 8 points and 5 rebounds per game in the regular season.

But the problem is that he has a salary of nearly 23 million! And what was typed was 3 million, which is unjustifiable anyway.

But Riley is not interested in this, Xiao Ao is a burden wherever he goes now, but he seems to be content with this burden.
