After the preseason, after a period of training and adjustments, the NBA regular season kicked off on this day.
This is the first game of the season, and it is also a live game across the United States. Of course, China will not not broadcast this focus battle. The enemies of the Celtics and Heat once again become the first game of the new season. This time
The home court comes to Miami
The Celtics lost to the Miami Heat 3:4 in the Eastern Conference finals of last season's playoffs. After a thrilling defeat of the Celtics, the Miami Heat settled the Finals battle 4:1. James deserved the title.
He won the Finals MVP plus the regular season MVP before. This is the first time he has won double MVPs in the same year.
In the opening game of the new season, the stadium was packed with people, and the cheers from the audience were already roaring before the players even entered the stadium.
"How are you feeling, Yang?" Rivers asked with concern.
Yang Zhenxing is still thinking in his heart, you don't need to care about me. I'm not the main player, so I may not be able to play? Why are you asking me?
He thought so in his heart, but he knew it was the coach who was caring about him. Yang Zhenxing smiled and said, "It's okay, coach."
"That's good, go on the court and warm up." Rivers gently pushed Yang Zhenxing.
Yang Zhenxing was about to go to the court. He thought for a while, turned around and asked softly, "Coach, can I play in this game?"
Rivers smiled pretendingly: "I'll let you play when I need you."
"Uh, okay." Yang Zhenxing nodded, looking quite helpless.
All the players were warming up for shooting on the court, and the audience was screaming.
Yang Zhenxing thought to himself: "Why are these Miami fans so crazy?"
Indeed, since the Miami Heat won the NBA championship last season, fans have higher expectations for them. Every game must be packed with seats and thunderous applause.
The first thing to start is the awarding ceremony of championship rings.
David Stern and all the Miami Heat players, coaching staff, team owners, and staff were all gathered in the court. All the Celtics players were watching from the court, each one looking lonely.
The cheers from the audience were so loud that Mr. David Stern was unable to start his next speech.
After a pause with a wave of cheers, Stern began to speak.
When David Stern announced this season's championship winner, the Miami Heat, it attracted the warmest applause. David Stern already knew that he could not say any more, and then he announced the award of the championship ring.
The ceremony to award the championship rings was held amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.
Yang Zhenxing stared blankly at all this. He was about to clap and scream along with all the spectators, but when he turned around and saw the dejected expressions of the Celtic generals, he did not dare to say anything.
Ray Allen is not a championship member of the Heat, so he has been watching all this from the sidelines. Ray Allen walked in front of the Celtics generals.
Everyone in the Celtics saw Ray Allen coming to them
There was a period of silence between the two sides, and then Rivers broke the stiff atmosphere.
"Ray, long time no see" Rivers came over first to hug Ray Allen
"Doug, long time no see" Ray Allen and Rivers hugged each other tightly
There was still silence in the seats of the Celtics. This was not conspicuous in the noisy Heat Arena. Everyone was paying attention to the championship ring awarding ceremony. No one would focus on these visitors.
"Why aren't you talking?" Ray Allen asked everyone
Garnett and Rondo didn't speak
Pierce spoke first: "It's okay. You can just say whatever you want. We are all old friends."
Garnett spoke again: "Ray, don't get me wrong, I'm not against you." Garnett paused. "I'm just not used to you wearing the Heat." Garnett's voice was choked with sobs.
Yang Zhenxing sat aside. He was not in the mood to watch the championship ring awarding ceremony on the court. Instead, he was watching what it would be like to reunite with his old teammates of five years.
"Yes, I am." Ray Allen's voice was choked with sobs. "I'm sorry, I can no longer fight with you all." Ray Allen's eyes were a little moist.
Pierce, Allen, and Garnett, the old three, can no longer speak. How can other players dare to speak? The Celtics fell into silence again, deathly silence, and the Miami Arena here
The roaring mountain and tsunami are extremely uncoordinated
The ring awarding ceremony has been completed. All Heat players are wearing rings and facing the audience on the left and right, receiving their most enthusiastic screams, cheers and applause.
All the Celtics players have stood up, and Ray Allen has almost turned around. Looking at these Heat players who won the championship last season, they also stretched out their hands and applauded their opponents.
A few months ago, the Heat eliminated their biggest enemy here, the Celtics, who had dominated the Eastern Conference for five years, and today they once again faced their opponents here.
A few months ago, the Heat fans here not only applauded the Heat for eliminating the Celtics, but when the Celtics' Big Three all went off the court in the last 28 seconds, the Heat gave their enthusiasm to the Big Three.
After the season, as people expected, it was time for the Celtics' Big Three to break up. Ray Allen's entry into the Heat was somewhat unexpected.
All the players have arrived on the court. Players from both sides hugged each other one by one.
Garnett walked up to James and hugged him affectionately. Garnett put his mouth to James' ear and whispered, "Congratulations!"
James said lightly: "Thank you" and that was all he could say.
"I knew you would win the championship a long time ago, but I thought you should wait a little longer." Garnett's voice was low so that no other person could hear it.
The game is about to start and the referee has already arrived in the middle of the court
On both sides of the midline, Turiaf and Garnett glared at each other.
