Chapter 99 The Man's Promise

On the 27th.

The Heat came to the away game a day early.

On the way here, Li Lei saw the transcript of Kenyon Martin's interview.

Reporter: Do you have the confidence to beat the Heat?

Martin: Of course!
Reporter: But you lost the last game.

Martin's eyes widened (Li Lei's imagination): The Heat used a trick to get me into foul trouble.Otherwise, they are not our opponents at all.

Reporter: Oh?Then how can you guarantee that this game will not be troubled by fouls.I mean...you've been fouling a lot.

Martin: "..."

His eyeballs widened.

Speechless for a while.

Which reporter is this?The Infernal from Miami?
Are you here to mess with me?

After thinking for a long time, Martin said: I will control myself, this is a man's promise, and I will do it.

The reporter laughed twice: I hope to see it too.

For some reason, Martin always felt that the reporter was mocking him.

……

On the 28th.

Continental Arena.

The two teams took each side and began to warm up.

From time to time, a Heat player glanced at the opposite side with a fierce look on his face.

Since Kidd publicly damaged Li Lei during the All-Star period, the two teams have already torn their faces.

The Nets naturally felt it.

But the Nets players led by Kidd don't care at all. They never take the Heat seriously, even if they lost last time.

They are the champions of the Eastern Conference!

What is the Heat?
Today's game is also broadcast live across the United States, and the broadcaster is TNT.

The narrators are the golden partners Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

They also invited Steve Kerr as a guest commentator.

It is worth mentioning that both Barkley and Cole participated in ESPN's previous voting activities.

Kerr was one of the eight commentators who supported the Nets, and Barkley was one of two who supported the Heat.

The two of them are on opposite sides.

It can be seen from this that TNT really knows how to play.

Before the start of the game, the three were warming up.

Kerr explained his reasons for supporting the Nets again, just like on the show.

Smith nodded after listening, and asked his friend Barkley: "Charles, why did you choose the Heat, and what is the reason?"

In the previous commentary, Smith and Barkley were going to fight in the ring.

Tonight, Cole and Barkley faced off, and Smith became a tandem person.

Change the style of the past.

This makes it very interesting for fans who are used to hearing Barkley and Smith's "husband and wife" quarrel.

Buckley looked serious: "Because of sympathy."

Smith: "?"

Barkley said with a smile: "If I didn't choose the Heat, I guess no one would choose them. I was just out of sympathy. If I knew that there was another person who would also choose the Heat, I would definitely choose the Nets! "

If it weren't for the joke on Barkley's face, Cole would have believed it.

"Please, Charles, tell the truth!"

Smith first laughed at Barkley's joke, then asked.

Barkley nodded, and started to analyze seriously this time: "The Heat have 38 wins and 20 losses, and the Nets have 35 wins and 21 losses. The Heat have a better record. Is this enough reason?"

Smith shook his head: "You are not such a hasty person, there must be a better reason."

Barkley laughed triumphantly: "Oh, Kenny. After so many years, you finally discovered one of my 1 advantages."

This guy is so narcissistic.

Barkley continued: "The Heat have a bad record recently, only 1 win and 3 losses, but I watched the last game. Their state has recovered, but the Blazers' Zach, Derek, and Damon collectively broke out. The Heat guys just lost in the end."

"The Heat may have recovered, but that doesn't mean they can beat the Nets. The Nets have experience, a home court, strength...they're obviously stronger."

Cole made a timely objection.

Barkley shook his head: "Steve, you always consider the problem so complicated, what is the home field, experience, strength, are these important?"

Barkley said: "I only know that the last time the Heat team without Wade won the Nets. This time, the Heat have another Wade. Will they lose instead?"

Before the game started, the commentary booth had already started arguing, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger.

The fans are also excited.

Soon, the players came out.

Heat here: Cato, Odom, Li Lei, Jones, Wade.

Nets: Collins, Martin, Jefferson, Kittles, Kidd.

Drip!

Game start.

jump ball.

Cato outplayed Collins and turned the ball back to his own half.

Wade advances with the ball.

Kidd's defense is very strong, Wade can't find a flaw, so he can only call Odom out to pick and roll.

Veteran Kidd has long been prepared to squeeze past Odom and continue to live with Wade.

Seeing no chance, Wade immediately passed the ball to Odom in the middle distance.

Martin knew that Odom had the basket, so he had followed him a long time ago.

Odom's CIC was disturbed by Martin and the shot missed.

Bang!

Cato and Collins grabbed rebounds and moved the basketball to the outside area during the fight.

The closest to here are old Jones and Kittles.

Old Jones pushed away "Mosquito" Kittles, grabbed the basketball, and shot a jumper directly.

Swish!
Have it.

2: 0.

Old Jones shot neatly, it seems that he feels good today.

The last time they played the blue net, the old Jones' hip pull was the main reason why the Heat kept falling behind in the first half.

Old Jones felt good today, which gave all the members of the Heat a little more confidence.

The Nets attack.

Because the Heat scored and retreated quickly.

The Nets had no chance to defend and counterattack, so they could only advance slowly and play positions.

Kidd dribbled upfield, didn't see an opportunity, and passed the ball to Martin.

Martin low hard chisel Odom.

Martin's technique is still relatively rough, but his strength lies in his outstanding strength.

One power down ten sessions.

Odom couldn't stand it.

But Cato helped defend in place, and Martin's shot failed to score.

However, Collins grabbed an offensive rebound and succeeded in the second offense.

2:2 level.

The Heat fight again.

Jones forced Kittles at a 45-degree angle and made a mid-range jumper.

Swish!
Go in again.

4: 2.

Old Jones made 2 of 2 shots as soon as he came up. Today's state is exceptionally good.

The Nets attack.

Kidd asked for a screen, broke through to attract Odom's help defense, and suddenly threw a lob to Martin.

Li Lei and Cato attacked Martin at the same time.

But Martin's physical fitness is too good, he just dribbled the ball, soared into the air, and directly dunked with both hands.

When Li Lei and Cato were in place, Martin had already smashed the ball into the basket relying on his abnormal bullet speed.

boom!
4: 4.

"Master Cake Eater" is also in excellent condition today.

The Heat continued to attack.

Jones still wanted the ball and continued to bully "Mosquito" Kittles.

Martin immediately rushed out to help defend.

Old Jones played the ball decisively and handed it to Odom.

Jefferson defends Odom.

Odom passed to Li Lei who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Jefferson wanted to pounce back again, but it was too late.

Li Lei adjusted and made a three-pointer.

Swish!
in.

7: 4.

Jones and Li Lei scored one after another, and the Heat's two major shooters were in hot form.
