June 19, 2023.
The day of the finals tiebreaker.
The whole of Miami seems to be in a storm, and walking on the street has a depressing feeling.
The game started at 7 o'clock in the evening, but at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, there was already a sea of ​​people around the American Airlines Arena.
Many people who bought tickets came to the arena early, waiting to enter.
Those who did not have tickets gathered around the square outside the arena, waiting to watch the game.
When the game starts, about 30,000 fans will gather in this square.
More than 30,000 people gathered in front of the big screen to watch the game. What a spectacular scene it must have been.
After the live broadcast started, the number of viewers in the United States quickly exceeded 10 million.
Xiao Hua looked at this number, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
It has already exceeded 10 million at the beginning. When the game actually starts, I am afraid it will exceed 20 million.
By 6:30 in the evening, players from both sides were already warming up on the sidelines.
At the same time, both parties also handed over the starting list to the technical desk.
When the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen, everyone was surprised.
Because they saw that the Heat's starting center was not Adebayo, but Doug Laimbeer, who became famous with three kills and one pad in the last game.
Zhang Weiping, who was in the commentary box on the sidelines, pointed out that the director shook his head when he saw this starting list.
"Hey, the Heat put Laimbeer in the starting lineup. This is amazing. Their intention is very obvious, which is to use Doug Laimbeer's toughness to fight against the Kings."
"Everyone saw in the last game that when Doug Laimbeer stood there, other Kings players did not dare to go inside. They could only shoot from the outside. If the touch is online, it is okay. If the touch is not good, then
The Kings are in big trouble."
Yang Yi nodded: "Yes, Hield and Bagley of the Kings are injured, and they are all bone injuries. They will need to rest for at least two months. This makes the Kings' already stretched lineup even more incomplete. Tonight's game
It’s a difficult game to play.”
At the same time, at the men's basketball training base in Huaxia Jiang Province.
A total of 30 people from the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team gathered here.
In the end, ten people will be selected from these thirty people to enter the big list.
Coupled with Zhou Qi, who is currently playing in Australia, and NBA player Wang Yi, twelve people will participate in this summer's Men's Basketball World Cup.
So after Wang Yi played in the NBA Finals, he had to come here for training.
With the addition of Wang Yi this year, people's expectations for the national team in the Men's Basketball World Cup have been greatly increased.
In previous Men's Basketball World Cups, the best result achieved by the national team was eighth place, so this time the General Administration of Sports has issued an order to aim for eighth place and strive for the top four.
It would be best if I could come back with a medal.
This time the head coach of the national men’s basketball team is also coach Du Feng.
At this time, he was leading his team members in the conference room to watch the NBA Finals.
When seeing the starting lineups of both sides, all the players secretly shook their heads.
Coach Du Feng even scolded: "It's damn clear that the Heat are going to play hard. The last game eliminated the two main players of the Kings, and this game directly put Lan Gou into the starting lineup. I'm afraid the Kings won't.
Be mentally prepared."
"The first thing they have to do in this game is to protect Wang Yi. Anyone can be injured, but Wang Yi must not be injured."
Zhao Jiwei interjected: "Brother Yi is going to be injured. We are not done with this dog!"
Coach Du continued:
"The other is that more people should be sent to fight against this dog."
Wang Zhelin cursed: "This guy is a vicious dog. This game will definitely not be easy for the Kings."
Wu Qian also scolded him: "The coach said he is a blue dog because he is flattering. It is just a dog comparison. Brother Yi must be careful about this dog comparison in this game."
"I look forward to finishing the game tonight, Brother Yi will win the championship, and then we will go to the World Cup together, beat the stick, have a hard time, and then win a medal. It will be great."
The other players were secretly encouraged after hearing this.
Not only the fans, media reporters and leaders, but also the national team players have high expectations of themselves.
This time at the American Airlines Center.
Wang Yi is using the help on his feet.
At the same time, remind all team members: "Tie your straps tightly."
All the players responded one after another, and then began to apply the bandage seriously, more seriously than in any previous game.
That guy likes to step on his feet, so the straps have to be tightened to reduce the chance of injury.
Hield and Bagley were both sitting on nearby stools, both wearing protective gear on their feet.
At this time, the two of them hated Doug with itch in their hearts.
In the most important tiebreaker, both of them were unable to play.
Hilde reminded everyone: "Be careful of the murderer's son, and try to stay away from him when you break through. If you see him rushing to block your shot, then lean back and don't step on him."
on his feet"
The taciturn Bagley only said two words to all his teammates at this time: "Be careful with that guy."
Then he turned to Wang Yi and said: "Boss, be careful."
Wang Yi tied up his belt, stood up, and looked at all the players: "If that guy is on the inside, try to stay away from him and let me deal with him."
As the boss, he helps his teammates avoid injuries while also taking responsibility himself.
Mitchell will start today.
He came directly to Wang Yi, still as usual, with a dog-licking look on his face: "Boss, how can I let you face that guy alone? Don't worry, I will take the bullet for you."
No one cared what he said.
Forget it if he doesn’t, in everyone’s mind Mitchell is just a big licker.
The so-called smooth-tongued people who tend to follow the crowd are just this kind of people.
No one believes that this kind of person would take a bullet for the boss.
Wang Yi didn’t believe it either.
He ignored Mitchell, but patted Hilde on the shoulder, looked at Holmes, and said to the two of them: "Don't worry, I will vent this bad breath for you!"
Then he raised his fist and roared loudly: "One word——"
"Dry!"
All teammates roared in unison.
Head coach Walton was also excited at this time.
But he will suppress his excited emotions.
In previous games, he only had to think about how to deal with Butler, how to deal with Lowry, how to deal with Ciro and Adebayor, but this game added another one.
And Doug will be the toughest of them all.
As Kings players emerge from the tunnel.
From the first sight, the entire arena is white.
White heat!
The competition is really heating up now.
When Wang Yi came to the sidelines, he clearly felt that there was a gaze looking at him diagonally across the court.
He looked up and saw Ranbir looking at him with a fierce look on his face.
At the same time, the guy's face was still excited.
But his excitement is different from Wang Yi's.
Chapter completed!
