The recent situation in Houston is actually quite miserable.

The Pacers only injured a little Ou, and the long list of injuries on Houston's side can already make up another set of starters.

But having said that, you just give Houston enough bench players, which is actually useless.

Because the red team coach Fan Baldou's hobby is to die the main force!

Regardless of the preseason Pacers and the red team battle, he deliberately only let Yao Ming play for 20 minutes.

But as soon as it entered the regular season, the true face of this product was completely exposed.

Now it's only the regular season, he has already started frantically and often engages in eight-man rotation.

Well, Thibodeau happened to be the defensive coach under Fan Bald.

It seems that the seed of this deadly main force has long been planted in Xibodu's heart.

Simply because Yao Mai's body hasn't gone wrong this season, which gives Van Gundy crazy confidence.

When encountering this kind of coach, Wayne felt heartache for Chairman Yao.

It is indeed quite miserable to run at a high load while gaining weight.

At noon the day before the game, Wayne and his teammates arrived at Houston International Airport.

As soon as I got off the plane, a bunch of Chinese fans came to greet him.

Houston in this period can indeed be regarded as the home court of Chinese players in the United States.

The atmosphere is pretty good.

If there wasn't that **** thing years later...

Forget it, now is not the time to think about that.

"Oh, you are very popular here." Gangtai, who was wearing sunglasses, got off the plane and waved to the fans, posing as a star.

After all, he's the star player now, no matter what else, this fan must keep up.

"You are really quite confident." Wayne took a look at Cotai. You have to say how capable this guy is. That was the top ten in the MVP ranking last season.

But... it just feels unreliable, unreliable!

In the original history, if Oscar was suspended for one season and replaced with Artest, it would be a question of whether the Pacers could reach the Eastern Conference semifinals.

"Oh, isn't it the Houston Red Team. It is currently 18 wins and 17 losses and can only be ranked ninth in the Western Conference. What are you afraid of? Isn't it easy to win?"

Gangtai waved his hand with a nonchalant look.

To be honest, it is true that only Chinese fans and the media regard the red team as a championship team.

Most American fans view the red team, in fact, like Artest: "They are just like that. They are a playoff team, but they are just a playoff team."

"Your opponent was the scoring leader last season."

"The scoring champion is against the best defensive player, just right! Little Tracey, I know, the shooting percentage is not very good, I like playing this kind of player the most."

Well, McGrady, who just performed the miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes just half a month ago, looked like a rookie in Artest's mouth.

In Artest’s self-confidence, the Pacers all got on the car.

On both sides of the road where the bus was driving, many Chinese fans raised their nameplates to welcome Wayne.

I don't know, I thought the Pacers' home court is in Houston.

In the eyes of most Chinese fans and Chinese fans, this game is an exhibition match, a friendly match.

As for the Chinese Derby, no matter who wins in the end, as long as Yao Ming and Wayne play well, it is a win-win situation.

Therefore, they can welcome their opponents with a smile.

In Stern's view, this is a big show that attracts the Chinese market.

Does winning or losing matter? The ratings are the most important.

Therefore, this game is a bit less tit-for-tat.

But Wayne did not view the game that way.

Although he respects Yao Ming, it doesn't mean that Wayne doesn't care about victory.

On the contrary, he was desperate for victory.

In the first game of Xiao Ao's injury, all Western Conference fans waited for Wayne to roll over, and Xiao Si's big onmyoji was directly disgusting on the TV.

Wayne really didn't want them to succeed.

So even in the face of Yao Ming, Wayne will never lower his requirements.

As far as the NBA is concerned, he and Yao Ming are rivals.

The opponent must be knocked down.

In the evening, Yao Ming invited Wayne to sit at his home in Houston.

To be honest, Wayne is not used to visiting his opponent's house before the game.

But Yao Ming quickly used his affinity to relax Wayne.

"So you start the next game?" Sitting on the sofa, Yao Ming and Wayne chatted in Chinese, very cordial.

"Um... I... can I not tell you?" Wayne almost missed his mouth. It's not easy for Chairman Yao!

Actually compose what I said!

Damn, almost leaked the starting list for the next game.

Hey, I didn’t expect you to be like this Yao Ming!

There are routines everywhere in the NBA!

"Hahaha, who else can play besides you? You are the only one who can start at the power forward position."

"I didn't say that. What if I continue to play the sixth man." Although Yao Ming guessed it easily, Wayne still had to try to pretend that "you guessed wrong".

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the game. Did you see the show that Stoudemire participated in last night." Yao Ming changed the subject and didn't tease Wayne anymore.

"Look."

"That guy from Stoudemire is just like that. How do you say it? Most American players are like that. Speak more directly and then be more rude. You have to get used to it and then accept it.

When I first started, many people said about me. Don't be affected by these conditions and mood. Play a good game and everyone will shut up. "

It can be seen that Yao Ming is a little worried that Wayne will be affected by the cynicism of the other party, and is working hard to help Wayne with psychological counseling.

But Wayne's response surprised Yao Ming: "It's okay, I can be more rude than them. How do you say? It's a bunch of bullies and hardships. Give him some sunshine, and he can go to heaven.

This kind of person will be good after a hard fight, and I won't be affected by them. "

"This..." Yao Ming shook his head, indeed, Wayne's personality is like this.

And what he said was a beating... it was a real beating!

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Auburn Hills.

Yao Ming still remembers how shocked he was when he saw the photo of Wayne riding a big pen in the newspaper.

Put it this way, he broke a glass that morning.

Most of the time, Yao Ming is a gentleman in the NBA. To put it bluntly, he is rather restrained and humble.

Even the occasional yelling and shouting give people a feeling of holding back.

Wayne and Yao Ming are just the opposite. He prefers to release his emotions. Anger is anger, and happiness is joy.

This makes Yao Ming wonder what it would be like if they cooperated in the national team.

After chatting for a while, Wayne said that it was late and it was time to go back to rest.

Yao Ming also stood up and escorted Wayne to the door.

"Then, play well tomorrow's game."

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, I will play better than in the preseason. Then...I don't wish you a good performance. If you play too well, I will lose."

"Hahahaha, I now know why Stoudemire hates you."

This little mouth, like smearing honey, can it be unflattering "like"?

The next day, at Toyota Center, two Chinese giants met again.

It's just that compared to the preseason, this real game of swords and guns has attracted more attention and the scene is more popular.

Before the start of the game, Toyota Center arranged a series of opening performances with Chinese characteristics.

Chinese acrobatics, dragon dance and lion dance, all performed once.

The Chinese New Year is just half a month away, and this set of performances can be regarded as giving the Toyota Center a lively atmosphere for the New Year.

Yao Ming is not surprised at this. Since he came, the Toyota Center has often performed such performances.

And everyone on the Pacers side, as if they were in town for the first time, they all looked stunned.

"Why don't I fall off with so many bowls on my head, Eastern Witchcraft!?"

"I've seen this in a Kung Fu movie, Wei, by the way, do you know Chinese Kung Fu, fighting so fiercely?"

"Cough cough cough, we are here to play the game. One by one, when we come here to play? Be serious, show your attitude, do you understand?" At this time, the Pacers captain. Tay spoke.

He has a serious face, full of enthusiasm, and is not confused by the wonderful performance before him, just like a good captain.

Well, although it is a temporary captain.

But Wayne knew it too well.

Do you think he is concerned about the game? No, no, no, the reason why he is not attracted is simply because that guy prefers cheerleading performances...

The opening performance without the ball is soulless. ——The logic master Artest.

After this lively performance, both sides finally made their debut.

Today, the live DJ also deliberately prepared the red team's first introduction ceremony. Yao Ming, as the finale player, played last and was adored and cheered by the audience.

The Chinese fans watched this opening show, and they were absolutely unhappy.

"The game is about to start, it's about to start! Today we saw, the Pacers side, really took Xiao Wei up and played the starting number four! Today, we can enjoy this Chinese derby!" In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang smiled and stared at the screen.

The atmosphere of the entire game was created to be beaming.

But the scene was given to Wayne, and Wayne's expression was very fierce.

He has never forgotten that this is a bayonet match.

For the Pacers, the starters are Johnson, Miller, Captain Tai, Wayne and Foster, and Payton and Wu Sheng match the second team.

On the red team's side, the starters are the newly transferred "Mickey Mouse" Wesley, Bob Sura, Tracy, Juwan Howard and Yao Ming.

Look at these two guards, really powerless to complain.

Sura and Wesley are both attacking guards. What if Yao Ming wants to be exhausted, I will not give it, eh, I will not give it!

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming competed for basketball for the red team.

As soon as he came up, Captain Artai showed his enthusiasm and clung to McGrady.

If Xiao Ao is not there, will the Pacers' defense line be broken? You have to ask me!

Seeing Yao Ming leaning against Foster, Sura did not hesitate...passed the ball to Tracy McGrady, who was even more guarded.

"Oh, he just won't give it to Yao Ming!" Director Zhang looked really anxious.

McGrady held the ball, facing Artest's defense, suddenly broke to the left.

As soon as Artest followed, McGrady stopped making jump shots.

As soon as the scissors legs came out, Artest's defense was cut.

"Good shot, McGrady hit a jumper as soon as he came up! It seems that McGrady is in a really good state today, and Artest couldn't defend his first goal."

Director Zhang smiled, leaving only the Pacers Captain messy in the wind.

"Damn, my mine!" Artest raised his hand and apologized to his teammates.

This little Tracey, um, was stronger than expected.

But it doesn't matter, I can handle it, Artest!

"Wei, block one and block one!" So, when the Pacers attacked for the first time, Artest took up the task of scoring.

Anyway, this season also has a small 20 points in the account. Really, I and Pierce, who voted sixth in the All-Star, are all the same?

what? Pierce is averaging more points per game than me? Then he is not as strong as me!

Wayne came up to cover, and Artest was going to kill the restricted area to get a beast dunk.

What if there is no Xiaoao? It's enough to have me!

then......

"Ouch!" Artest yelled and fell to the ground.

Yao Ming ruthlessly served a meal of "Yao Hot Pot", and said: He died again.

Sura received the basketball that was flying out, and then the backcourt leader sent it to McGrady.

At this time, McGrady's athletic ability is still quite terrifying.

After Dapeng spread his wings and glide for a long distance, McGrady smashed the ball into the frame with his long arm.

A very beautiful dunk, I don't know how many boys have become youth.

"Ouch, the ball is dunked, it's so beautiful! Yao Ming's hot pot, it's so good. Artest, the player, is too impulsive. The ball just now should be handled by Wayne."

Artest got up from the ground embarrassedly and glanced at Wayne.

"Don't worry, hold on!" He shouted and continued to prepare for the attack.

Wayne shook his head, I should have said this to you.

In the second offense, Artest broke through the goal to find Wayne, but was intercepted by McGrady's long arm.

The red team is another counterattack. Although Yao Ming is there, they never waste the opportunity to fight back.

Artest rushed towards McGrady like a tiger pounced on food, trying to stop the attack.

But this time, McGrady was not strong. When he rushed to the free throw line, he used a pass without looking behind and sent the ball to David Wesley, who was ambushing in the right corner.

This pass is indeed handsome, and McGrady is so elegant in this period no matter what he does.

Since this is a counterattack, there is no defensive player around Wesley.

Wesley has made 38% of three-pointers on the red team this season, which is still very good.

He firmly grasped this open opportunity, and the basketball was hollow into the net.

"7-0, it was a perfect start! It feels like O'Neal is not there and the Pacers are playing a little panic here. At this time, we should settle down and play slowly."

After Director Zhang finished speaking, the shot was given to Artest.

It didn't take long for him to be on the stage, and he was taken by Yan Xie every time.

Really. Lead by example.

Little Omomo, who was watching TV at home, shook his head. He regretted that before the game started, he actually had a slight expectation of this guy...

"Be patient, what are you doing!" Carlisle also lost his temper on the sidelines~lightnovelpub.net~ Today's Kim Kelly is not funny at all.

At this time, the game has just started, and the timeout cannot be wasted.

As a result, Carlisle could only remind the players by shouting.

At this time, Wayne stepped up and patted Tai: "Take it slowly, it's just the beginning, Captain."

Hearing the title "Captain", Tae's nose suddenly sore.

After so many years, someone was finally willing to call him the captain!

"Yeah! We'll fight you later, we will fight back!" Artest said, regaining his confidence.

Hey, it's too difficult for Wayne to play as a babysitter for Gangtai.

The Pacers regrouped and organized the offense again.

This time, Wayne finally got the ball.
