"Chinese professional basketball player Zhao Feiyang officially signed a contract with the Miami Heat yesterday..."
"After all the hardships come joy? Can Zhao Feiyang become the biggest supporter for the Big Three! Leaving the Lakers may be a kind of nirvana and rebirth..."
"Pat Riley personally admitted that he recruited Zhao Feiyang to join the team. He praised Zhao Feiyang for his great talent and that he is one of the few outstanding defenders in the league..."
One day after Zhao Feiyang signed with the Miami Heat, the entire Chinese basketball world could no longer stay quiet. Compared with the excitement when he signed with the Lakers before, this time it became a frenzy.
Everyone knows that although the Los Angeles Lakers have a superstar like Kobe Bryant, he is old and it will undoubtedly be very difficult to win the championship. It can even be speculated that it is impossible for the Los Angeles Lakers to win the championship with the current lineup. .
And what about the Miami Heat?
They just won the championship last season, and last season they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a "Double Thunder" with a big score of 4 to 1. It can be said that the Heat's Big Three are the most powerful in the league. Competitive team.
This season, they are still infinitely close to the championship. As long as the Big Three do not have any injuries, then there are only a handful of teams in the league that are better than them.
As long as you join them, the probability of winning the championship is quite high, and the exposure rate is naturally not of the same magnitude.
From this point of view, being fired by the Los Angeles Lakers and joining the Miami Heat is an improvement rather than a regression.
For this reason, CCTV Sports also changed its previous move and immediately put Zhao Feiyang in the prime time news, no longer paying attention to his performance in the NBA as before.
The same is true for major sports forums.
Almost overnight, Zhao Feiyang transformed from a small role that no one cared about to a "super star" that attracted much attention. Even Li Wei, who had previously opened a trumpet to mock Zhao Feiyang, fell silent again, not daring to do anything like this. It’s time to stand up and challenge Zhao Feiyang’s reputation.
At the same time, Zhao Feiyang also successfully rented a high-end apartment in Miami with the help of his agent. After settling in, Zhao Feiyang took a plane to Chicago early the next morning without having time to rest.
The reason for going there is because the Heat are now in Chicago getting ready for a game.
This is an away game where the Heat challenge the Chicago Bulls. As a super strong team in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Bulls' own strength cannot be underestimated, especially in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. The Heat and the Bulls fought for five games. On the field, Derrick Rose, as the super core, faced the Big Three.
Those battles are of course highly anticipated by the fans, but Derrick Rose, the "Windy City Rose" who has won the youngest regular season MVP in history, has been suffering from injuries recently.
He was troubled by injuries at the beginning of this season, always taking a few games off and then playing a few more. In this state, not only did his hand feel extremely poor, but his performance in other aspects also continued to decline.
Derrick Rose is back again in today's game. Although we don't know how well he will recover from his injury, Chicago fans are still looking forward to it.
This young genius is their only hope after Michael Jordan.
Due to the tight schedule, the game in the arena was about to begin when Zhao Feiyang arrived. He didn't even have time to rest. After rushing to the team's hotel, he took a taxi to the arena to meet his teammates.
When he arrived at the United Center, the game was about to start. Zhao Feiyang jogged all the way into the locker room. When he opened the door, the other players had already left and entered the infield.
"Hey, are you Zhao?"
"My name is Harris Jim, and I am the assistant coach of the team."
"Mr. Pat told me, welcome to the Heat!"
A black man came forward, took the initiative to express his identity, and helped Zhao Feiyang take out the jersey he had prepared in advance.
Time was so rushed that the team didn't even have time to prepare Zhao Feiyang's number and just left one for him at random.
Zhao Feiyang didn't complain. After expressing his gratitude to the other party, he quickly walked out of the player tunnel together. At this time, the countdown to the start of the game has entered. The players are no longer practicing dribbling on the court, but gathered on the sidelines to follow the instructions of Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
"Coach Eric, hello, my name is Zhao Feiyang, I am a player who has just come to report to the team."
"Hey guys, nice to meet you."
Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to greet other players.
His words instantly attracted others, and a group of Heat players cast curious glances at him.
The same goes for the Big Three.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra stepped forward and said, "Zhao, I know you, Mr. Pat told me! Welcome to the Heat! I hope you will have a different experience."
After speaking, Erik Spoelstra introduced Zhao Feiyang to the others, "Guys, this is a new player who has joined us! Let us welcome him."
The players came up to greet Zhao Feiyang one by one, and everyone expressed their welcome to Zhao Feiyang in a way unique to the Heat.
However, Zhao Feiyang is just a fringe player now. No matter how much money the team spends to sign him, he is still just an outsider to other Heat players. Unless he can prove himself with strength, he will be qualified to integrate into this championship team. among.
call out.
The game started soon.
As a newcomer to the team, Zhao Feiyang had no chance to play at this time. He sat on the bench with other players and temporarily played the role of water dispenser manager.
The team's heavyweights, the Big Three headed by LeBron James, took to the court one after another.
Joining them in the starting lineup are Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier. One of them plays point guard and the other is responsible for the forward position. They have become heavyweights around the Big Three this season.
On the Chicago Bulls side, Derrick Rose, as the leader, also came up with the players. The moment he appeared on the stage, the fans at the scene gave him long-awaited applause.
Snapped.
Jump ball from both sides.
The Heat took the lead in winning the ball. Mario Chalmers advanced the offense with the ball. After the ball passed half court, he gave the ball directly to Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade dribbled the ball in isolation. Facing the defense of Bulls player DJ Augustin, he directly shook the opponent away. He dribbled the ball towards the basket from the left side.
When Chris Bosh saw this, he immediately went up to prepare for the response. Their cooperation quickly attracted the attention of other Bulls players.
However, at this moment, LeBron James, who was standing on the right side of the basket, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket. After leaping high, Dwyane Wade on the left quickly threw the basketball.
boom.
The two completed a beautiful alley-oop pass.
LeBron James received a pass from Dwyane Wade and then dunked, helping the Heat score the first goal of the game.
