The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 196 Ten Years Old Fan (please subscribe, ask monthly pass)

After losing to the Lakers in the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder's record this season came to 3 wins and 1 loss, falling to the fourth place in the Western Conference.

The current top three in the West are the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, who have won all four games, and the third is the Los Angeles Lakers, who defeated the Thunder before.

The next game the Thunder will take on the Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston.

In the early morning of November 11, the Thunder flew to Houston non-stop, ending their continuous home tour and they are about to usher in an away game.

The Houston Rockets, in the hearts of Chinese fans (including Lin Yue), is the home team far away from home. On the CCTV sports channel, down to ordinary fans, the Rockets’ games are almost every game. Even now that Yao Ming is recuperating from his injury, he has become a daily habit of watching TV, just like eating.

If it weren't for Lin Yue's appearance that caused the Thunder to lose more than half of their fans, the Rockets would still be treated as the home team.

As the head coach of the team, Morey was really furious. This offseason, he was very worried about how to trade Lin Yue. After all, there is a precedent for Yao Ming. He is greedy for Chinese players, and Lin Yue is still a valuable player.

Unfortunately, no matter what conditions he proposed, Presti firmly stated that Lin Yue was not for sale.

"Mmp, there's nothing not for sale. It's just that I didn't give you enough, but the conditions are all at the limit, and I won't agree to it after all."

Morey was envious of the Thunder's exponential growth in popularity, but he had no choice but to ask Yao Ming to see if he could use his connections to bring Lin Yue over, but he was rejected directly.

Morey slapped the table angrily.

According to me, that’s the way it should be. If you like to pretend, you resign yourself if you don’t understand the manager. I suggest you resign now. You are the biggest contributor to the fact that the Rockets have not won a championship for many years.

In addition to Morey, Lin Yue was also thinking about this question. When he learned that he was going to play against the Rockets, he sent a message to ask about Yao Ming's recent injuries.

The answer he got was that the situation was still far from ideal. This kind of illness accumulated over the years was not an ordinary injury. His knee could not withstand a lot of exercise, and he might not even be able to return to the court.

Originally, Lin Yue wanted to recruit Yao Ming to regain his dream with his seniors.

Now it seems unrealistic. Leaving aside whether Morey, an old dog, will let go, even Yao Ming himself is unwilling to leave. He is still too honest. In fact, the championship is more important than anything else. After the career is over, honor is the best criterion for judging a person's career.

If only Yao Ming could let go of his loyalty and be a little more selfish.

Secondly, this situation does not know what can be recovered. It is impossible for the Thunder to take a big risk to trade.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue showed bitterness. It seemed that he really couldn't do anything for Yao Ming. He was fighting with Yao Ming in the Olympics last year. Now that he fulfilled his promise to enter the NBA, he couldn't compete in the game tomorrow.

"Lin, do you think we should go to Kobe or Barkley during the offseason?" Curry suddenly thought of a very serious question.

On the night after the game, Curry and Durant couldn't help their curiosity and asked Lin Yue, what did Kobe say?

At first Lin Yue still wanted to show off, but suddenly he thought that it would be impossible for him to secretly practice alone, and these two people must be with him, so he confessed this matter to them.

"What, I didn't hear clearly, why don't you say it again." Lin Yue recovered from his thoughts, and then realized that Curry was speaking to him.

Curry repeated what he had just said.

"It's okay, as I said, go to one first and then the other, it doesn't matter, anyway, the offseason is long." Lin Yue said.

"Don't you want to accompany your girlfriend during the offseason? Ayesha said that I snubbed her recently, but the game is tight and there is still training." Curry complained. They even quarreled over this matter. Although they reconciled quickly, it must be resolved at this time.

Lin Yue thought about it, it seemed that he hadn't seen Ayesha since he came to Oklahoma City, which was really not good.

"Lin, how do you get along with your girlfriend? I don't think you have these troubles." Curry wanted to learn from Lin Yue.

"She, she never complains, and knows that all my efforts are for a better future. When the time comes to bring her to the United States during the offseason, it will be an apology I haven't seen in a long time." Lin Yue thought of the happy smile on Li Mengyao's face. This feeling of being understood is great. With her support, no matter how difficult the future is, he can survive.

"Okay, the four of us can get together at that time. Ayesha also asked about you. Unfortunately, I also met your girlfriend. I can let her meet during the offseason." Curry happily shared this news with Ayesha as soon as possible. By the way, they need to cultivate their relationship.

Since then, Lin Yue closed his eyes on the plane and rested his mind. Every game must not be missed. He needs to use his best state to meet the challenge.

The game was at 8:30 pm local time. After getting off the plane to solve the dietary problems of the entire team, they rushed to the Toyota Center Arena as soon as possible.

Here, Lin Yue saw the scene of Aerospace City, as well as the posters of Yao Ming and McGrady near the arena. Unfortunately, these two people are unable to play now.

In the prediction before the game, the Rockets would not be able to advance to the playoffs in the eyes of the media. Without two All-Stars, their strength will be greatly reduced.

Now the Rockets' strongest players may be Sean Battier and Scola.

Even though the outside world is more optimistic that the three juniors of the Thunder will win the game with their respective strong performances, the Thunder themselves have not thought so. The Rockets are a team that has withstood the test of time. Last season, when Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming were plagued by injuries and did not play many games, they still achieved a proud record of 22 consecutive victories.

This kind of tough and daring team is uncertain when it will bite back, especially after the baptism of the playoffs, their experience is more abundant than the Thunder.

Coming to this city where Yao Ming has lived for many years, Lin Yue also has some feelings. I don’t know how long he will stay in Oklahoma City in the future. If he can really hope that he can be teammates with Curry for the rest of his life.

In the afternoon, they warmed up in advance for tonight's game. There were already reporters from the sports channel interviewing the game. After all, it was a game between the Rockets and the Thunder. Even if Yao Ming couldn't play, in the eyes of domestic fans, this was still a derby match.

Of course, since Yao Ming is not present, there will be many more fans supporting the Thunder.

Ever since Lin Yue was drafted by the Thunder, there have been many ten-year-old fans in China.

In their words, "The Thunder has finally risen, and we don't have to hide our identities anymore. Lift up your clothes and reveal our uniforms."

Then paired with a team uniform wearing a Thunder jersey, the effect is full.

　Thanks to the flying elf boss for sending two monthly tickets, thank you very much
