At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Wizards took the team bus to the Miami Heat's home stadium - American Airlines Arena, the name of American Airlines is somewhat similar to the American Airlines Center, the home of the Dallas Mavericks, the biggest difference is that the Heat's American Airlines two words are connected, while the Mavericks American Airlines two words are separated.

The location of the American Airlines Arena is very superior, with the sea on the back of the arena, blue skies and white clouds with beach waves, and of course, the indispensable hot bikini beauties.

The climate in Miami is also the same as those bikini beauties on the beach, although it is close to December at this time, and it stands to reason that the northern hemisphere should start to cool down, but as soon as you go outside, you can still feel a heat wave blowing in your face, and the scorching solar energy makes people dizzy, so if you walk on the streets of Miami and take a closer look, you will find that the sunglasses are almost a pair of people's hands.

The entire American Airlines arena is cylindrical, with a huge triangular eaves protruding above the main entrance, and the main entrance is preceded by several huge lawns and flower beds with unknown pink flowers, and of course, as a tropical coastal city of Miami, the tall coconut trees lining the roads are indispensable.

Riding on the team bus, Li Kaiming took a curious look at the Heat's home court through the window, not because of how luxuriously built the American Airlines arena was, but because Li Kaiming wanted to know what attracted James to the big three of Wadebosh in the world.

The team bus drove directly into the American Airlines Arena and parked in the underground parking lot of the stadium.

The Wizards all got off the bus and gathered in the locker room, and after a little repair, they went to the arena to start training.

What surprised Li Kaiming was that the whole Heat team actually came to the court early, looking at the sweat on these guys, it seems that they have been here for a while.

It seems that although the Heat have formed an invincible triumvirate in the world, the team's training has not relaxed at all, and generally the home team has more energy to prepare for pre-game training, so they all train in the morning before the game, and will rest for a while in the afternoon, until the pre-game warm-up session.

The Heat look like they've been training here for a day, and Pat Riley is really a devil!

The arrival of the Wizards players naturally attracted the attention of the Heat players, and James, Wade, Bosh and others all looked over here, their eyes full of doubts, and perhaps they also wanted to know why the Wizards' seemingly rubbish lineup could play second in the East.

Li Kaiming first jogged and stretched before training to warm up his body and lubricate his joints.

When he was sweating a little, Li Kaiming took off his training jacket and trousers, and started training directly in shorts and training vest.

The current stage of the Wizards' training content is mainly around the offense, because after Lewis joined, until now has not been fully integrated into the Wizards' offensive system, according to Sanders' expectations, as the season deepens, Lewis's role on the offensive end will become more and more important, and the moment he is fully integrated into the team system, it is the moment when Lewis enters the starting lineup.

As for the defensive end, Sanders still emphasizes relatively little, but at present, the Wizards' defense is mainly based on joint defense, which is not to say that Sanders has no other defensive tactics, but the Wizards' individual defense is really bad!

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the only two people who have a positive impact on the defensive end of the team's starting lineup are Thorton and Blatch, and the remaining three are all league average, not to mention the substitutes, either rookie eggs, or defensive weak rings, it is good not to be chased by others.

Two of the opponents tonight, the Heat Big Three, are the type of breakthrough attack baskets, so there is no problem with joint defense, if you defend alone, Nick Young and Alsolton are afraid that they will have to be eaten alive!

After the two-hour pre-game training, Li Kaiming put on the long sleeves and trousers he had taken off before, and was about to go back to the locker room to rest for a while, when a voice came from not far away.

"Lee! Hey! ”

Li Kaiming stopped and looked back, and a few steps away, LeBron James had already walked to the Wizards' half of the court, and greeted him while dribbling the ball.

"Hello LeBron!" Li Kaiming walked over and shook hands with James.

James originally wanted to play a fancy high-five action with Li Kaiming, but he didn't expect Li Kaiming to hold his hand directly, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and then he immediately opened his mouth to divert his attention.

"Lee, your performance is amazing, I've never seen a player like you!" James raised his eyebrows twice, opened his mouth and smiled at Li Kaiming.

Although Li Kaiming's team James came to him specifically to say this, he felt a little speechless, but after all, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, and people came to praise you, you can't give people a look!

So he also smiled and said modestly, "Thank you, my performance is not good enough, I have to continue to improve and learn from you!" ”

James originally wanted to chat with Li Kaiming, but the latter suddenly glanced at the players' tunnel, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, LeBron, I have to hurry back to the locker room, and we will talk next time when I have time!" ”

After finishing speaking, before James could reply, he plunged directly into the player's tunnel, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the tunnel......

James squinted, stared at Li Kaiming's distant back, slapped the basketball twice with his hand, suddenly turned around and rushed directly to the basket with a powerful one-handed split, and felt unrelieved after landing, so he directly made a big flying foot before the staff rushed to pick up the ball!

Bang!

The basketball flew directly to the audience in the arena with great force......

Looking at the basketball that fell into the audience, the caddie standing under the basketball hoop looked helpless, what kind of medicine did you take wrong, others scored a goal and left after training, you are good, you have to shoot with a big flying foot, right?

At half past six in the afternoon, the pre-match press conference between the two sides was held on time.

The Heat Big Three played against the Eastern Conference Dark Horse Wizards, and this game was also very interesting.

Prior to this, the new champion and scoring champion Li Kaiming led the Wizards team that looked like a fish belly to play the Orlando Magic 2-0, the Atlanta Hawks 2-0, and the Chicago Bulls 1-0 with a stunner.

Except for the Boston Celtics, who are slightly ahead of the Wizards in terms of record, the rest of the giants are pressed by the Wizards.

And today, this Wizards meets the team with the highest odds to win the championship, what kind of sparks will the two sides have?

At the press conference, a reporter from Fox Sports asked Li Kaiming, "What do you think of the Heat's behavior in forming a Big Three in the offseason?" ”

Of course, Li Kaiming was very disdainful in his heart, but he couldn't say this kind of thing in front of so many people, "Pat Riley did a good job, he assembled the strongest lineup at the lowest cost!" ”

The beautiful reporter who asked questions about this evaluation naturally didn't buy it.

I want to ask you what you think of those three players, who told you to rate the general manager of the Heat?

So the reporter immediately opened his mouth and continued to ask, "Then what do you think of LeBron James's decision?" ”

"I've never focused on myself in my basketball career, I didn't pay attention to my opponents, my job is to play, LeBron's decision is right or wrong, it doesn't matter to me, next question!" Li Kaiming is really a little annoyed, these reporters are trying to make some big news about every question, which makes him have an urge to pick on people and leave.

The problems after that are not easy, every reporter wants to provoke the contradiction between him and the Heat Big Three, after all, the two sides of this game, one is the hottest rookie, and the other is the hottest combination, and a little friction can make these media eat and drink.

On the Heat side, reporters naturally won't let it go, and ESpN's reporter asked LeBron James, "What do you think of Li Kaiming's performance in his rookie season?" ”

"I'm very impressed with his performance, he has a lot of talent and unlimited potential, he has a lot of basketball skills, he's good at all kinds of offense, he has a great view on the court, and in my opinion, the sky is the limit for him!" ”

James' performance in front of the media was very natural, as if it was not the same person who had been angry on the training ground before.

This mature and sleek handling has been proficient in James since he was in high school, because he is a proud son of heaven and has had a lot of media attention on him in high school.

Of course, learning this way of dealing with the media has also brought a lot of benefits to James, who is very highly rated by the media and has a good popularity.

In addition to the seemingly illusory things like media evaluations, there are also real benefits to maintaining a good relationship with the media, to take the simplest example.

James played in 79 games in his rookie season, averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, leading the team to a 33-46 record and not making the playoffs.

And his rival Carmelo Anthony played in 82 games throughout the season, averaging 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, bringing the Nuggets with 17 wins last season to a 43-39 record of eighth in the West.

But in the end, James received 78 of the 118 first-place votes and won the rookie of the season with a 508-403 total score advantage.

Can you say in good conscience that Anthony was worse than James in his rookie season? No!

And this is the benefit of maintaining a good relationship with the media, of course, maybe James won the best rookie is also the league's happy to see, after all, from the perspective of honor, the two are indeed not players of the same level.

In the interview afterward, the other two giants of the Heat, Wade and Bosh, also praised Li Kaiming's performance and said that they should go all out to win this game.

Wade and Bosh must not have imagined that James, who was sitting next to them with a calm face, had already had a "confrontation" with Li Kaiming before the game, and the final result was that James slashed a big flying foot shot in anger......
