The Godfather of Basketball

Barkley's show not only caused a sensation in the United States, but also completely ignited the emotions of Chinese fans across the ocean.

At the beginning of Barkley’s kissing of the donkey’s ass incident, because the news of the NBA was not very smooth, the fans were belatedly aware of it. However, in 2006, TVs and computers had already become popular in China. The next day after the news came out, Everyone knows.

The Rockets won four consecutive victories. What excited them most was not the Rockets executives or the American fans, but the Chinese fans. This was the first time since Yao Ming joined the Rockets that they saw the championship so close to the Rockets.

It is precisely because of this relationship that they all support Barkley this time.

In addition, Monday in the United States is Sunday in Beijing time. It can be predicted that the attention of CCTV live broadcast will definitely be unprecedentedly strong.

Even the bosses of some canteens prepared their benches in advance and added some snacks such as melon seeds, waiting for them to make a fortune during the game.

Tang Tian knew that it would be difficult to play against the Heat, but he didn't expect such a big fight because of TNT's program.

This is not a good thing for the Rockets. After all, it has just started before the game. Although the players have gotten along well, they haven't fought a tough battle yet. If they don't fight well, they will suffer a great psychological impact.

And during this period of time, he found some areas for improvement in the team rotation, and was looking for Van Gundy's advice. If TNT disturbed him like this, it seemed that he could only wait until after this game.

On November 6, US time, after two days of offseason, the Rockets visited the American Airlines Arena in Miami to challenge the defending champion Heat.

TNT's promotion before the game made this regular season hotly sought after in Miami. Even though it was the first night of a week's work, a large number of Heat fans flooded into the arena.

Contrary to Chinese fans, in addition to supporting the home team, they also hope to see Barkley's "big mouth" make a fool of himself again.

The commentator of this game is Mike Breen, a well-known commentator from ESPN, and his partner is the famous player who played for the Pacers in the past, and the new commentator Reggie Miller.

"Welcome to Miami. There is no hot beach here, but there is a fierce game going on. The Miami Heat will face the challenge of the Houston Rockets. The contest between the two strong teams will spark fierce sparks tonight. , Reggie, who do you think will win tonight?"

"I think both teams have a chance. Maybe we won't see some clues until the game starts." Miller is a newly promoted commentator, and he is more cautious when explaining.

"Yes, one is the defending champion, and the other has won four consecutive victories after the start of the game. It is indeed difficult to predict, but what is equally attractive about this game is that outside of this game, one of the two has already Get ready to wear Victoria's Secret lingerie."

After Brin said this, Miller couldn't help laughing. The two men were naturally referring to Barkley and Smith.

Regardless of the outcome of this matter, it is now true and known throughout the United States.

At this moment, the players from both sides completed their warm-up, and the game was about to start.

"Okay, let's wait and see the game." Brin finally said.

Every team in the NBA has a different opening ceremony, but the Heat are one of the most famous because they breathe fire at this time.

The first is to introduce the visiting team's starting lineup. The Rockets maintained the starting lineup during their four-game winning streak.

After the introduction of the Rockets' starting lineup, the lights went out.

Tang Tian had watched the Heat's opening ceremony on TV before, but the feeling of being in it now is still a bit different.

The lights on the scene were focused on the other half, and along with the highlights on the large LED screen above the head, the starting players of the Heat were introduced one after another.

The starting small forward, James Posey with a height of 2.03 meters.

The starting power forward, Udonis Haslem with a height of 2.03 meters.

The starting point guard, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, known for his gorgeous passing.

Starting center, "Shaquille O'Neal".

"No. 3, 1.93 meters shooting guard, Dwyane~~ Wade!!"

Wade is the finale appearance, accompanied by the live DJ's shouts, Wade raised his hands to signal to the audience.

The entire American Airlines Center fell into a boil.

As the soul of the team, after leading the team to win the championship last season, his popularity in Miami is unparalleled.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by two loud bangs, two groups of huge flames shot upwards from the two platforms in the center of the arena.

The entire arena exploded in an instant!

Feeling the deafening cheers around him, Tang Tian couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, the Heat's away game really isn't easy.

It hasn't started yet, but the audience's emotions are already as hot as those two spewing flames.

After the starters were introduced and the players completed the last three minutes of warm-up, the starters began to appear one after another.

It was not until this time that the NBA's broadcast signal was transmitted to China.

The audience sitting in the office, at home, and at the entrance of the canteen, the moment they saw the signal, they couldn't help shouting.

This is the NBA of the Yao Ming era, the crazy years that will never happen again.

Yao Ming and O'Neal jumped the ball. These two played for four years. O'Neal both played from the Lakers to the Heat, but the Yao Shark matchup will never tire of watching.

Yao Ming used his long arm to give the Rockets the chance to take the lead.

Alston took the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line, and then the remaining four started a mutual off-ball pick-and-roll.

The Heat have obviously studied the Rockets' new style of play, and they have done a good job of man-marking and pick-and-roll switching.

However, the most difficult part of this tactic lies in his uncertainty. The Heat stared at most of the points, but McGrady's reflexive air cut still created an offensive opportunity.

Yao Ming and McGrady understood, hit the ball behind the back, and delivered the ball to McGrady steadily.

After receiving the ball, McGrady accelerated away from Posey and dunked directly to score.

From MM Connection!

There was a commotion in the American Airlines Arena, but it was already boiling on the other side of the ocean.

2 to 0!

The Rockets go first.
