I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 174 See you at the All-Star Game

"Hey, Joey, the match between you and Howard was really exciting, especially your last few attacks! In the last 3 minutes, everyone stopped fighting and concentrated on watching you and Warcraft bullfighting! Tsk tsk, it's really superstar treatment!"

On the other end of the phone, Ross chattered excitedly, like a little fan who was incoherent in front of his idol.

Dorsey sometimes wonders, Ross, a shy guy, is a boring gourd in front of others, why can't he stop talking when he chats with himself?
After Ross and Dorsey separated, they had to talk on the phone once or twice a week, and they didn't talk for hours at a time.

"You are the superstar! Dear Mr. Derrick Rose, who has scored in double figures in 14 consecutive games since entering the NBA as a rookie? I read the news yesterday, and the report said that you broke the consecutive scoring record created by Jordan in his rookie season." The double record is No. 1 in the history of the Bulls! Now, who in the league does not admire the famous Windy City Rose!"

Dorsey and Rose traded business blows.

"Joey, I really want to play with you."

"Hurry up, I've seen the schedule, the game between the Rockets and the Bulls will be on February 2 next year! I won't show mercy!"

"It will take more than two months! My God, what a waste of time! Also, what I'm talking about is not as an opponent, but as a teammate like in Memphis, playing Dawei Tianlong together!" Ross was full of thoughts, and said Like a little girlfriend acting like a spoiled child in front of her lover.

Dorsey felt a chill, is this still the unbeatable tough guy Ross?What the hell did you go through in Chicago, and how did you feel like you were bent!

Dorsey was really afraid that on the other end of the phone, Ross would suddenly say "eat peaches" and "so cool"...

"Bear, I really know when we can play together!"

"Really, when?"

"December 2th"

"February 2th? You mean..."

"New Orleans All-Star Game! We can play the All-Star Rookie Game together!"

"Yeah, that's great! Let's beat those bastards in the second grade together! By the way, help you get the best player or something."

"So, we have to play hard in the past two months, be selected for the first-year All-Star team, and be the starter! More importantly, we must protect ourselves and don't get injured, you know?"

Dorsey never forgets to remind Rose to protect himself and stay away from injuries.

"Relax! I can't wait until February now!"

After hanging up the phone, Dorsey thought, it should be no problem for him to be selected for the first-year rookie team, but can he be the main player?Recently, Kevin Love and Brook Lopez have performed very fiercely. By the way, there is also Greg Oden, who was supposed to be a sophomore but could only be selected for the first-year team due to injury!
I still can't play the main force in the Rockets...

After defeating the Magic, the Rockets swept away the previous decline and won the second consecutive victory in the Eastern Conference.

But they didn't have time to rest, and flew to Miami overnight to start the third game of the Eastern Conference tour.

Their opponent is the Miami Heat led by "The Flash" Wade.

Although Wade is brave, the overall strength of the Heat is not strong, especially because they don't have a serious center forward.

Against Yao Ming was Haslem, who was 23 centimeters shorter than him. Compared with the two, Yao Ming built a skyscraper, while Haslem could only toss in the basement.

As a result, Yao Ming easily killed Haslem, let him get fouled early, and went down to cool off.

The Rockets also easily beat the Heat.

In this game, Yao Ming scored a game-high 28 points, which is also his second highest score this season.

Since the Rockets Expedition, Yao Ming has played the best three games of the season. Whether facing the young McGee, the strong Warcraft Howard, or the short Haslem, Yao Ming can stably face the opponent's inside Form a blow and kill.He even showed a better awareness of the court than before, using the height of a lighthouse to observe the situation in the entire half, read the defensive strategy adopted by the opponent, and finally choose the best offensive method.

He was also officially selected by the NBA as the player of the week in the Western Conference.

The official comment is: "Yao Ming is actively changing. His calmness and calmness in the offense has begun to smell like Tim Duncan. Under his leadership, the Rockets have broken free from the mud."

The Rockets won three consecutive victories, but not everyone played as well as Yao Ming.

According to the "Law of Conservation of the Rockets' Big Three" this season, when Yao Ming performed well and Ci Shiping performed well, the first giant McGrady must perform poorly.

However, it seems to be biased to say that McGrady performed poorly.He is only troubled by knee injuries, and his combat effectiveness is almost nonexistent.

McGrady without a breakthrough is like a tiger without sharp teeth.

Even so, in the contest with the Wizards and Magic, he also made a certain contribution to the team by passing the ball.Especially Dorsey's good performance is largely thanks to McGrady's exquisite passing.

Although Rockets doctor Keith Jones insisted that there is no problem with McGrady's knee, McGrady himself didn't think so, and felt that it seemed to be getting worse.

In the fourth quarter of the game against the Heat, Tracy McGrady sat directly on the bench and became the "smiling spectator" of the "smiling assassin" junior!
After the game, he found Adelman in the locker room for the first time and asked for a rest in the next game.

His reasons also sounded good: before, due to the poor condition of the Rockets, Yao Ming was suspected of having a serious injury, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on the trip to the East. Yao Ming's condition is good, and it's time for him to take a rest, and he has to go to the experts for a comprehensive inspection.

I don’t know whether it’s the three-game winning streak that dazzled Adelman’s head, or whether the opponent Pacers in the next game is not strong enough, or whether it’s because of McGrady’s earnest request that moved Adelman. In short, the coach of the Rockets agreed. McGrady next game off.

In this way, McGrady got a 5-day long vacation.

However, man is not as good as God. In the first training session back in Houston, Barry Sr. stabbed his finger, and the team doctor diagnosed that he would definitely miss the next game.

Now, the Rockets' guard reserves are stretched.

Adelman hurriedly asked his son RJ Adelman to contact McGrady to see if he could persist for another game, but he got a negative answer. According to McGrady, he had already made an appointment with a doctor in Los Angeles to check his knee.

This time, the Rockets have a headache from top to bottom.

The coaching staff discussed in the conference room for a long time, but they did not come up with a good solution.

At the end, Adelman suddenly asked: "TR, how is Joey's perimeter skills?"

Rockets assistant coach TR Dunn didn't understand why Adelman asked this, but he still replied: "It's very good, his progress rate is far beyond my expectation, the past internal technical training did not restrain him, he is like A piece of white paper on which colorful pictures can be drawn."

"Fine, maybe we can try him out!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the coaching staff was stunned, staring at their coach in a daze.

Coach, are you serious?
You who have always been conservative in employing people, why did you suddenly change your gender?Have you been taken over by something strange? !
