Chapter 32 Challenge the New Big Three

Today is October 6, 2010, which is a very memorable day for Zhou Yi. Because his first NBA game will start today.

Early in the morning, Zhou Yi and Black got up early. After everything was sorted out, the two set off and went to the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena to gather with the team.

After a while, the two arrived at the stadium. After arriving at the meeting place, Zhou Yi found that several players had arrived, including McGrady and Bynum. After greeting everyone, Zhou Yi sat next to Bynum.

"Hey, man, your injury shouldn't be healed yet, right? Why is it coming now?" Bynum asked in confusion as he looked at the wound still left on Zhou Yi's forehead.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "This little injury is fine."

"It's okay, you don't know! When I saw you that day, you were bleeding, your face was covered with blood, and people were losing consciousness. How could it be fine?" Bynum said in surprise.

McGrady heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Zhou, are you injured?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "It's really okay. This little injury is really nothing to me. Look, am I running around now?"

Bynum gave him a blank look and said with concern: "I know that your body has become much stronger now than before, but if you don't cultivate well, aren't you afraid that it will become serious?"

Zhou Yi patted Bynum's shoulder and said with a smile: "I know you care about me, but I'm really fine. OK, don't worry."

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, McGrady and Bynum felt relieved, but they were still worried about Zhou Yi, especially seeing the blood mark in front of Zhou Yi's forehead.

Zhou Yi pulled the corner of Rabynum's clothes and thanked him in a low voice: "That night, thank you for showing up, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Bynum glanced at him and pretended to be angry: "My man, you're so fucking disliked. I should be the first person you know here. Since we are so destined to stay together, then we are brothers. I'm supposed to help you."

Zhou Yi nodded with a smile, then chatted with Bynum and the others, waiting for Kuster to arrive.

Not long after, Kuster and Dumas walked side by side.

"Guys, our first preseason game is about to start at noon today. We are going to Miami to challenge the "new three" they just formed. In this game, everyone must do their best. Although this is just a preseason game, everyone still cannot relax. This is a good opportunity, especially for young players. Have you heard it?" Dumas said to everyone righteously.

Everyone shouted loudly: "Heard." The voice was sonorous and powerful, exuding endless fighting spirit.

After everyone packed their luggage, they set off.

…………

After a few hours, the Pistons finally arrived in Miami. They went to the hotel first, and after a break, they followed Dumas and head coach Kuster to Miami's home court American Airlines Arena.

Generally speaking, when the team plays preseason, the team's president or general manager will not play away games with the team. Except for watching the team away games like the Mavericks boss Cuban, there are almost no one in the NBA. But this time, Dumas really wants to see a person's performance, and this person is Zhou Yi.

Everyone soon arrived at the American Airlines Arena. After entering the visiting team's locker room, many reporters immediately rushed over. The crazy appearance of the reporters made the players frown.

"Listen to me, it's not the time to accept interviews. After the game is over, you will be interviewed." Dumas stopped the reporters and said to them.

After hearing these words, the reporters returned in disappointment. They came over for the purpose of interviewing Zhou Yi. However, they did not show any disappointment, but immediately ran to the home team's locker room. After all, the Big Three are also the focus of reporters' scrambling to report.

Looking at the crowded crowd, Zhou Yi felt a little funny. Bynum patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Almost all of them came for you, you will soon become famous now, at least in Detroit."

Zhou Yi gave him a blank look and said a very classic line from Stephen Chow's movie: "I'm here to play basketball."

After coordinating with that funny tone, Bynum immediately burst into laughter after hearing this.

With about two hours left before the game, the Pistons players prepared in their own locker room and walked into the game court with Kuster.

Although this is only a preseason, the American Airlines stadium is crowded with people. Long before the preseason, all the tickets for the Miami Heat were sold out, which is all due to the Heat's "new three giants".

Even though many people belittled the decision of "Little Emperor" James to leave the Cavaliers and come to the Heat, there are still many people who are willing to come to see him play, and the tickets sold out are proof of it. Of course, the appeal of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh is also quite huge.

Among the three giants in the history of the league, the new super giants of the Heat are probably unprecedented. What's even more terrifying is that the three have had close cooperation experiences. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, James, Bosh and Wade jointly led the American men's basketball team to beat Spain and win the championship and win gold.

Judging from his personal data and previous team records, James, Wade and Bosh all performed impressively. Last season, James played 76 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists per game, and the Cavaliers achieved the best regular season record of 61 wins and 21 losses; Wade played 77 games for the Heat last season, averaging 26.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and the Heat scored 47 wins and 35 losses to enter the playoffs as fifth in the Eastern Conference; Bosh played 70 games last season, averaging 24 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1 block, and the Raptors almost squeezed out the Bulls to advance to the playoffs.

After years of hardship, the three superstars have rich game experience and the ability to dominate the game at critical moments. James has led the Cavaliers to the playoffs many times and has had the experience of the Finals; Wade's "Superman Descends" in the 2006 Finals has become a classic in the history of the NBA Finals; although Bosh lacks experience in the playoffs, he has also led the Raptors to the playoffs many times.

From this point of view, the new three Heats can definitely bring about a violent hurricane in the NBA league in the new season.

At this time, Kuster walked to the Pistons player and said to the players: "Go up and warm up before the game."

Everyone's eyes burst into excitement. The Pistons ranked last in the Central Division with 27 wins and 55 losses last season. This result was their worst record since 1994 and made the team miss the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Therefore, the Pistons players urgently need to make their name clear this season, and the Pistons players are trying to make their name clear with the hot and high-profile Heat!

The Pistons players ran to one side of the court excitedly, while the Heat players were warming up on the other side, but Zhou Yi did not see James, Wade and Boss. Zhou Yi was walking behind everyone. At this time, he felt countless gazes shot at him. He was extremely calm and felt a little nervous at this moment, with a slightly hot face. After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi picked up a basketball and connected the mid-range and long-distance shooting.

Just as Zhou Yi was practicing shooting, McGrady walked to him, grabbed the ball with one hand, and said to Zhou Yi with a smile: "What's wrong? You were very accurate in your previous practice. Are you nervous?"

Zhou Yi did not hide it and nodded. McGrady smiled and said, "When I first joined the Raptors, I was even more nervous than you when I first appeared. Everyone knows this, and I don't hide it either. In the first regular season game, I got the duck egg. Can you imagine? I actually got the duck egg. From this, do you imagine how nervous I was at that time?"

After hearing McGrady's words, Zhou Yi smiled and his expression was obviously relaxed a lot. McGrady continued: "Since you are standing here, you have to adapt to it. Gradually, you will get used to this feeling, and then you will like this feeling. Believe me, man, I'm telling the truth."

Zhou Yi smiled and replied, "Well, of course I believe you, Tracy, you will definitely get what you want."

McGrady knew what he was talking about, and couldn't help but look confused in her eyes and said, "I'm already 31 years old, I hope there is still a chance! No matter whether I can get it or not, I will enjoy the fun of playing basketball, and I will enjoy the feeling of standing on the court every second."
