Fans think so, let alone the coaching staff of both teams.

Especially the Heat, in the early season meeting, the Heat lost.

So in this game, Riley is very desperate to win.

However, just the day before the game, Coach Spoelstra mysteriously found Li Lei.

"Remember Carter's transfer?"

Coach Spo asked.

Li Lei is a little inexplicable, what does Carter have to do with us?

Last offseason, Carter pressed the Raptors management in the hope of getting reinforcements.

It's a pity that the Raptors are out of the border in Canada, and how can any star want to go.

Carter was also disappointed and decided to leave the Raptors.

It didn't take long for the media to spread the news that Carter was slacking off and missing games and training in order to force management.

Raptors management had no choice but to seek a trade.

Finally, on the 17th of the month, the transaction took place.

The Raptors sent Vince? Carter, get Alonzo for the Nets? Mourning, Aaron? Williams, Eric? Williams, as well as two future draft picks.

"Is the team interested in Carter?"

Li Lei thought in his heart.

But then it was denied.

The Heat are in perfect shape right now, and there is no need to make such a big change.

Besides, a star of Carter's level is not something that can be changed if he wants to.

Seeing that Li Lei didn't speak, Spo didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "We are in contact with Mo Ning, and he intends to return to Miami." ”

Alonzo?

Li Lei understood.

The biggest problem for the Heat this season is the No. 1 and No. 5 positions.

Wade can make a cameo in the No. 1 position, which is not a big problem.

But on the No. 5 side, O'Neill has not been able to find a suitable replacement.

Mourning is a good choice.

Moreover, Mourning is the former soul of the Heat team, which can not only enhance the strength of the team, but also attract more fans, and definitely make a sure profit.

It's just, Spo, why are you asking me?

Spo continued.

It turns out that there is a story involved.

In the 1992 draft, the Magic selected O'Neal with the first pick.

The Hornets then selected Mourning with the second pick.

As the champion and leader of the same year, and the same position, and they are both in the east, the two began to compete all of a sudden.

From the best rookie to the All-Star starter, the two men had a lot of fun.

But O'Neill was always a winner, so he always looked down on Mourning.

For example, when the rookie contract ended, O'Neal negotiated a contract extension with the Magic, his reason was: Mourning signed a contract of 100 million yuan!

O'Neill's exact words were: If you bought a BMW with a sum of money, how much do you think Bentley is worth? Obviously, I'm a Bentley and Mourning is just a BMW.

From the beginning of his rookie season, O'Neal felt that Mourning was a guy who didn't know the sky.

In his first year, O'Neal averaged 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks.

Mourning is .3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks, which is also a super center's stats.

In the selection of the best rookie, O'Neal won the vote rate and crushed 2.04% of Mourning, lifting the trophy of the best rookie.

But Mourning was not convinced, he felt that he was also eligible to be elected, and questioned whether O'Neal really had the skills to play basketball.

In this way, the two often fight with each other, and O'Neill even wants to fight with Mourning, and the two are almost incompatible.

This is where the management of the Heat team is worried, they are afraid that O'Neal will not accept Mourning, and when there is a conflict within the team, it is better not to sign Mourning.

Spo told Li Lei about this matter, just to let Li Lei explore O'Neill's tone first, after all, the relationship between Li Lei and O'Neill is quite good.

After the day's training, Li Lei and O'Neill were chatting on the sidelines.

O'Neal is ready to throw a party before All-Star Weekend and invite Li Lei as a guest.

Li Lei naturally would not refuse.

Taking this opportunity, Li Lei asked: "Shaq, I heard that the team plans to find you a helper?" ”

O'Neill was in a good mood: "Oh! That's great. I don't have to fight every night for so long. ”

Li Lei tentatively: "I heard that the team contacted Mo Ning. ”

O'Neill was stunned for a moment, and Li Lei was nervous, this guy is really still hostile to Morin!

But at this moment, O'Neill actually smiled: "Alonzo is a very strong guy, he can help the team and he can help me. It's great that he can come. ”

Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that O'Neill does not reject Mourning.

Subsequently, Li Lei reported O'Neal's attitude to the coaching staff.

The coaching staff officially began plans to bring in Mourning.

But it's not something that can be done in a day or two.

Mourning's team wants to negotiate a buyout with the Raptors, and it depends on whether the Raptors are willing to let go.

Then there is the physical examination, Mo Ning has been plagued by kidney disease in recent years, and whether he can pass the physical examination is also a question.

And even if he gets Mourning, how much combat power the veteran still has is a question.

But that's a good start!

……

February 13th.

The Heat welcomed a strong opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, at the American Airlines Center Arena.

For this "Finals" rehearsal in the eyes of fans, the NBA official also attaches great importance to it, and began overwhelming publicity a week in advance.

A showdown between the leaders of the East and the West.

No. 1 team in the league vs. No. 2 team in the league.

O'Neal, the league's first man, vs Duncan, the league's second.

GDPvsLOW。

Before the game even started, the ratings were already out of the charts.

Many Miami fans who didn't have tickets gathered in the large square outside the American Airlines Center to wait for the game to start, unwilling to leave for a long time.

And the Heat also gave all fans a piece of the home team's body.

And promised: as long as the Heat team can win today, they will give all the fans present a hamburger and Coke.

Before the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun, who served as reporters for the Heat team, also interviewed Li Lei.

"Stone, what do you think of this game?"

Zhang Weiping asked.

Li Lei seriously analyzed: "The Spurs are very strong, they are the champions of '03, and the GDP portfolio is more mature, which will be a big problem." ”

Zhang Weiping nodded: "Then what do you think is the probability of the Heat team winning?" ”

Li Lei shook his head with a smile, did not answer this question directly, but said to the camera: "This season, we haven't lost at home!" ”

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Li Lei is full of confidence!

Again, competitive sports require self-confidence!

Li Lei's statement before the game also made the Chinese fans in front of the TV full of confidence.

Entrance ceremony.

The away team comes on first.

Spurs: Rasu? Nesterovich, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili, Parker.

This was followed by a home team appearance.

The entire arena erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.
