Chapter 0170: Miami Heat
The Miami Heat, founded in 1988 and joined the NBA, is a professional basketball team belonging to Miami, Florida, USA, and is part of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Men's Basketball League (NBA). The Miami Heat's home stadium is the American Airlines Center arena in downtown Miami.
In the 25 seasons between 1988 and 2013, the Miami Heat made the playoffs 17 times, won 10 conference titles, defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 to win the 2006 NBA championship, and in the 2003 draft, they selected Devin Wade from Marquette University with the fifth pick in the first round, and in 2004 the Heat traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 2005-06 season, Wade led the Heat to the Finals for the first time, and overturned the Dallas Mavericks to win the championship for the first time after falling behind 0-2. As O'Neal grew old, the Heat's combat effectiveness declined significantly; In the summer of 2010, Bosh and James joined successively, followed Wade to form the 03rd Platinum Generation Heat Big Three, and on June 21, 2013, after a tie-break, they narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs 4-3 and won the championship.
In a state like Florida that lacks NBA teams, people from Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg and Miami want to compete to own a team. The Miami Bureau of Sport & Exhibition finally recognized a team led by NBA Hall of Famer Billy Cunningham and former sports agent Lewis Skafir. In April 1987, the NBA Expansion Committee endorsed the bids of Charlotte and Minneapolis. However, the third and final team on the committee was divided over whether to license to Miami or Orlando. Eventually, the NBA decided to add four teams — the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat to make their 1988-89 debuts, and the Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic to restart their games in 1989-90. In the team name vote, "Miami Heat" beat the name of the famous detective film "Miami Vice" filmed in South Beach.
Yes, the Lakers are about to face the Heat, there is not much left in the regular season, and this game is also extremely important, so the Lakers players are training intensively, and this time the Lakers are sitting at home to meet the challenge of the Miami Heat.
During this time, the Lakers have been running away again, and they are also a little exhausted, Luan Jiye is too, and a while ago against the Celtics again, Luan Jiye desperately defeated the Green Army, then this game is very anxious, because three overtime games were played!
However, Luan Jiye still has no intention of taking a break, and is still practicing hard, although now his strength is also very strong, and he conducts strength training every day, Wilson is also very tired, it can be said that it was not Wilson who cooperated with Luan Jiye at that time, and the Celtics had already lost that game at that time.
Finally, Luan Jiye decided to sit down and rest today, sitting on a chair in the training hall, wiping his sweat with a towel, panting, feeling very weak, and he didn't want to lift it up at all after his arms drooped.
At this time, Blue and Wilson also sat over and said to Luan Jiye: "It's not easy, I didn't expect you to rest today!" ”
"Hehe, I'm really tired today, and I fainted without sitting down and resting for a while!" Luan Jiye said.
In fact, when Luan Jiye first came into contact with basketball, his physical fitness was the worst, and after he kept training, his physical fitness gradually improved, and he became the strongest player in the team.
Blue took out his phone again and looked at the schedule, it was a headache, because tomorrow and the day after tomorrow two games in a row, the second game against the San Antonio Spurs will have to rush to the home court of the Spurs.
"Okay, don't worry about it, at least there is more than half a day of leisure time after training today, do you want to go have a meal?" Luan Jiye asked.
"It's okay to go, let's just eat fast food, hungry!" Wilson said.
"Then go to the nearest burger joint." Blue said.
At this time, except for the three people who came out of the training hall, only Ingram, Nance Jr. and Lore Deng were left, and the three of them didn't want to go, so the three of them had to go by themselves.
After the three of them arrived at a burger restaurant, the owner was named Frank, who was a very nice person, and he knew Blue well, and the two of them had known each other for a long time, because Blue had been here a lot to eat burgers when he was in college.
After asking for three hamburgers, the three of them found a place to sit down and started chatting, Luan Jiye first said: "Blue, after you finish this season, the team will ask you to renew your contract, right?" ”
"Well, the team has been talking to me for a long time, but it's you, the team has been talking to you for so long, and you haven't responded, you don't want to be with the Lakers next season?" Blue asked.
Luan Jiye shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not sure yet, so I haven't replied to the team yet, I may stay for another half season, and I may also find other teams, in short, I can't always be with the Lakers." Luan Jiye said.
"Okay." Blue said, "It's good to choose your own path." ”
At this point, the burger comes up, and Frank says, "Chicken thigh burger, fish burger, and McSpicy chicken thigh burger, here you go!" As he spoke, he handed it to three people, and the three of them also gave money, in the United States, there is no such thing as please or not, it is the AA system.
Wilson took a bite and said, "Wow, it's delicious, I'll buy another tacco later!" ”
