The locker room was quiet, and the atmosphere was depressed, making people feel flustered.

Finally, someone broke the silence.

James stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted at his teammates: "Okay, it's just a loss. It's not a big deal. The big deal is to win the next game. Brothers, we are the defending champions. Is it just because we lost one? Disheartened after the game? Don’t you have the confidence to win it back?"

"Do not."

"Of course not. There were seven games in the series, and this was just one game."

"Of course we are confident, but..."

Just what?

In fact, everyone understands it in their hearts.

As the defending champions, they have gone through a lot and have seen big scenes. They will not be so easily disheartened, discouraged and lose confidence.

It's just that this game is very different from what they imagined. This is the second round of the playoffs. The 76ers are still their defeat, but they lost in the first game, which made them feel unacceptable.

This is different from last season.

Although the 76ers played with them until the tie-break last season, the Heat is still stronger in terms of strength, and the Heat's players have a bottom line. But today's game, but let the Heat team players know that the 76ers is not the 76ers last season, suddenly a little bit unsure in my heart.

Hesitating, uncertain, unknown...

These are the reasons that led to their appearance and the atmosphere in the dressing room so depressing.

"LeBron is right."

At this time, Coach Spoelstra said: "We lost this game. I and the entire coaching staff bear the unshirkable responsibility. We did not do a good job and did not know enough about our opponents. I am like you. Promise, it won’t happen next time."

"Next time, we will not give Qin any more chances, nor will we give the 76ers another chance."

Listening, everyone nodded.

In the last few minutes, Qin Hao's three-pointers were too devilish and unreasonable, and they were all blinded. He didn't expect Qin Hao to dare to do this, and he didn't react for a while.

But if you do it again, it will never be so.

"Next..." Coach Spoelstra's voice became low. "The next game will be a collision of strength. I believe that we are stronger than the 76ers."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

......

Philadelphia.

In the apartment.

Qin Hao sat on the sofa, Jiang Xue pressed his shoulders while talking to Qin Hao about the company.

The All-Star Weekend has ended for more than two months. The "Liqice" investment company jointly funded by "Tianyu Investment", Kobe and Yao Ming has been established, and the basic structure has been completed, personnel recruitment and basic department formation have been completed .

The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, Qin Hao, Kobe, and Yao Ming are only behind the scenes. The actual managers of the company are Jiang Xue, Ke Sao, and Ye Li.

Jiang Xue serves as the company's president, and Kesao and Ye Li serve as vice presidents.

But Jiang Xue, Ke's wife, and Ye Li don't often stay in the company. Ke's wife will go there from time to time, but she doesn't go every day, and she just tries to learn how to do it.

Usually the company's operations are handled by professional managers, but the company's main decisions and specific investment plans are all determined by Jiang Xue.

In this way, Jiang Xue is equivalent to controlling both "Tianyu Investment" and "Liqice", working more busy than before, and will often run three-headed races in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and China.

After listening for a while, Qin Hao grabbed Jiang Xue's little hand and said distressedly: "Thanks for your hard work. It is enough to keep you busy with Tianyu's investment. Now there is one more Liqice. When Liqice is on the right track. Let's start pushing those two projects. You are mainly responsible for controlling the overall situation, and you just leave the specific affairs to others to do."

"Well, I know." Jiang Xue smiled and said: "And I didn't find it very hard. I think this kind of life is very fulfilling."

Then she talked to Qin Hao about Sister-in-law. She and Sister-in-law are getting better and better, and she persuaded Sister-in-law to persuade Kobe and let Kobe not travel by helicopter in the future.

Every time I go to Los Angeles, Kesao always finds Jiang Xue enthusiastically, and introduces her to a group of friends of Kesao, who are naturally celebrities, such as movie stars, singers, celebrities, etc...

However, Jiang Xue was not interested in these, and she refused politely every time. She didn't like attending so-called celebrity gatherings, and she was not very interested in expanding her network.

From the establishment of "Tianyu Investment" to the present, Jiang Xue has relied on her own efforts step by step.

Of course, Qin Hao's "big prophecy" also played a very important role, so since there is "big prophecy", other things are not so important.

Most people need contacts and relationships to obtain investment information and obtain first-hand information, but Jiang Xue doesn't need it. Just go home and ask Qin Hao.

Therefore, "Tianyu Investment" is becoming more and more large, and there is a new identity as the president of "Liqice Investment Company". Jiang Xue seldom shows up and always keeps the mystery. Even when he goes to the Wachovia Center Arena, people are not Knowing her identity as the president, I only know that she is Qin Hao’s girlfriend,

Seeing Qin Hao's eyes full of distress, Jiang Xue gently hugged Qin Hao's head and said: "Okay, I really think this kind of life is very good, you have your career, I have my job, and I'm waiting to be free. At that time, it was very happy to be able to nest in a small apartment."

Qin Hao and Jiang Xue never visited the villa where they lived in the Chinese New Year before, after the parents of both parties left.

"I heard Vanessa say that although her friends, best friends, seem to be aloof, wandering around various parties every day, wearing top luxury brand clothes, shoes and bags, and they are dazzling under the flash. But in fact, their hearts are different. I don't feel happy, it's like a canary in a cage." Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I don't want to be that canary."

"Okay." Qin Hao nodded, his words also made sense.

"Right." Jiang Xue said again: "I can't go to the scene to cheer you on for the next game. I have to go back to China. There is something wrong with the company over there."

"It's okay. If you have enough time, go back to Southern Province and see my parents." Qin Hao said with a smile, but he couldn't help but think of the next game, and his brows rose slightly.

After losing the first game, the Heat will definitely be more serious in the next game, and if you want to make a three-pointer like the first game, it will not be easy to catch the opponent by surprise at a critical moment.

This is the series. As the series progresses, the cards of both sides continue to be thrown out. In the end, only the collision of pure strength is left. Calculations, tactics...

The role of these will become lower and lower.

......

One day later, Wachovia Center Arena.

The 76ers ushered in the second game of the series against the Heat.
