The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 152 - 110 Daddy Doesn’t Love Me Anymore_2

Other things aside, after James said those words and then made James look embarrassed on the court, wouldn’t LeBron fans want to ruthlessly bash him?

Upon arriving in Miami, Hansen and Rondo first paid a visit to Barry University.

Although Rondo had transferred, the old teammates were still there; inviting them to a meal and handing out basketball tickets was just like reliving their youth.

But a year had gone by, some have already graduated, and the number of people was somewhat less than before.

It was during the meal that someone suggested they all wear Hansen’s number 77 jersey to the game the next day, to make a strong showing of support.

They were willing, and Hansen didn’t refuse, asking Rondo to prepare some jerseys for them overnight.

Additionally, his basketball shoes had also been released for sale. He prepared a pair for each of them, all in the most flamboyant violet, just like his own.

After the game, taking a group photo would definitely look fantastic.

The next evening, at the Miami Biscayne Bay Coast, the American Airlines Arena was brightly lit and bustling with excitement.

The stadium was already packed to the rafters, buzzing with the sound of the crowd.

The media area was also crammed with people.

The debut of the Heat’s Three Giants was absolutely the most attention-grabbing event in recent years.

After Tois led everyone in shouting the team chant, the Grizzlies players dashed out of the locker room and through the player’s tunnel.

The moment Hansen stepped into the arena, he felt that wave of heat-like enthusiasm sweeping over the place.

James’s "Decision" had been heavily criticized all over the net, but of course, the Miami fans, who benefited from it, were overjoyed.

In this world, most people like to play the role of justice, but some enjoy playing the villain; the Heat Team and Miami fans were now playing such roles.

Hansen quickly spotted the Barry University players in the stands.

They were sitting in a row, wearing their own Grizzlies number 77 jerseys, and particularly stood out among the sea of Heat fans.

However, Hansen’s attention was soon caught by another number 77 jersey.

Why was Swift here in Miami? And why was he wearing that Cavaliers’ number 77 jersey?

Swift, seeing his gaze, waved at him with a look that screamed he had a surprise in store.

Hansen: Thanks a lot!

Hansen turned his gaze away, and while there was a slight hiccup, it wasn’t a big deal.

However, as he warmed up, James walked towards him.

"How’s life in Memphis?"

Hansen instinctively glanced around and sure enough, he quickly spotted the cameras.

James’s skill at finding cameras was as if he had a built-in GPS for them.

But that was just what Hansen was hoping for.

"Better than in Cleveland," Hansen said with a smile.

If LeBron fans didn’t see their relationship improving now, why would they bash him later when he got tough on the court?

"That’s good, I wish you all the best," James said before walking away.

"Do you really want me to go all out?" Guy said as he came over after witnessing the scene.

"If you can give ten out of ten, then don’t just go with nine. This game has the attention of the entire US and even the world. You’ve got to seize the opportunity," Hansen said through clenched teeth.

Guy, reassured, had no more doubts.

After the warm-up, the venue quickly moved on to the opening ceremony.

The Grizzlies, as the visiting team, made their appearance first.

Conley, Hansen, Guy, Zach Randolph, Mark Gasol.

Apart from a smattering of boos when Hansen appeared, there was almost no reaction to the others.

The Grizzlies didn’t have much of a reputation in the League.

After the visiting team was the home team.

Unlike the Cavaliers, the Heat’s opening ceremony was full of high-tech flair.

With swinging spotlight arrays, background music starting up, and flames burning on the giant LED screen, it was full of aggression.

They even brought in flame throwers for the occasion, complemented by "HEAT" signs and waving flags in the hands of the audience, making a huge spectacle.

This was a clear display of the power of the city of Miami.

That’s the difference between a big city and a small-market team.

Of course, the most shocking part was when the Heat players started to make their entrance.

Leading the way was James.

Out of respect for Jordan, the Heat had already retired jersey number 23, forcing James to switch to number 6.

James, Joel Anthony, Bosh, Alroyo, and Wade.

According to the NBA’s official player power rankings, with James being the reigning MVP topping the list over Kobe, and Wade closely behind Kobe at third, while Bosh was ranked ninth.

A historically unrivaled trio at their peak, their boss-level aura was palpable.

After the final three minutes of preparation time, the starting players were ready to take the court.

James found the camera and began his pregame powder toss.

It was at this moment that another interesting scene was caught on camera.

The five Grizzlies starters were standing together, except for Randolph’s jersey number 50, the rest were all even numbers.

Conley number 11, Guy number 22, Little Gasol number 33, Hansen number 77.

This kind of scene was a first in NBA history.

Upon entering the court, Hansen was matched up against Wade.

The two simply nodded at each other.

This game was a must-win for both of them.

"Toot!"

With the referee’s whistle, Little Gasol leapt high and tipped the ball back into the Grizzlies’ half, and the game officially kicked off.

Conley pushed the ball to the frontcourt to orchestrate the offense; after Randolph posted up Joel Anthony down low, the ball was shifted to Hansen, who then lobbed it inside.

Anthony, a UNLV graduate, was a standard undersized center-laborer standing only 2.06 meters tall, the same height as Randolph.
