Chapter 168 Dragonborn Cave Stadium
Of course, the effect of this bowl of chicken soup for the soul directed by Sun is not very good. How can young people nowadays have the time to drink his chicken soup? It is always easier said than done. People have become "pragmatic", and few people will foolishly believe in their childhood ideals.

It's like the male fans in front of the TV are unmoved by Totoro's life experience and experience, they prefer to watch the highlights of Totoro's big hats or explosive buckles repeatedly, but the female fans in front of the TV are more interested in Totoro's life experience. Interested, but they simply feel that Totoro is pitiful, and they want to go to the scene to hug Totoro and hold it high. As for what life insights they can get from the experience of Totoro’s hardship to success The truth is, it’s better not to say it out loud and keep it in your heart.
"Okay, now let us give the fans a surprise. In the second half, we invited Yao Ming of the Rockets to our live broadcast booth. Yao will explain the second half of the rookie challenge with us. Now, let us invite Yao Ming to come Tell us some interesting facts about him and Totoro in the Rockets."

Director Zhang’s words made the Chinese fans in front of the TV excited, especially those female fans, the fire of gossip in their hearts was ignited even more. I hope to hear from Dayao about those little-known stories about Totoro. .

It's just that Totoro curled his lips slightly in his heart. These fans are so naive, thinking that Yao Ming can reveal their private life. Is this possible?Anyone with a discerning eye can tell if this is a gimmick.

My Neighbor Totoro knew about Yao Ming's attendance at the All-Star Weekend live broadcast event about a week ago, and the script of Yao Ming's discussion of himself in the live broadcast has already been written by a special person. How can there be so many people in the world? Impromptu interview?What everyone usually believes to be true is actually a routine.

"I believe the fans are very interested to know how you worked out the deal with the Knicks before the season, using the superstar Tracy McGrady in exchange for the problem player Randolph, the ordinary David Lee and a player who is not in the ncaa. Totoro, the No. 6 rookie who has proved himself, although judging from the current situation, this deal can be rated as an S-level, but at that time you also suffered a lot of criticism, right?"

However, since there is a script, they will definitely choose topics that are more interesting or sensitive to fans. Anyway, the answer has been discussed in advance, no matter how taboo the topic is at the moment. Don't be afraid to wear clothes.

"That's right, when the transaction was first launched, there were indeed a lot of criticisms from the outside world. There were small-scale protests in the city of Houston, and many people criticized me on this matter on my forum and Weibo. Individuals have criticized, some of them said that it was because of the discord between me and McGrady that forced him to leave, and some people said that it was because Totoro is also Chinese, and I did it because I wanted to turn Houston into a Chinese territory. facilitated the deal."

Yao Ming coughed and said, the words he used were quite polite, what kind of criticism was this, it was clearly unbearable abuse,

"However, we still carried out this transaction unswervingly. This is not to say that McGrady is not good, he is still the man who can do everything in 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and it is not that I think Totoro is a Chinese, and I want to make it Totoro as a confidant, turning the Rockets into my one-man team."

"It's the potential of Totoro in the college league that really attracted me and the team's top management. His stable shooting, strong body, and stable psychological quality in the face of major competitions and his desire to win the game Desire, these are things that others cannot teach, we unanimously decided to gamble on the future of the Rockets on Totoro, Cong So far, our gamble has been successful."

"I never thought he could achieve what he is now in half a year. His progress is obvious. He is the kind of player who can make the game easy. We can no longer see where his future ceiling is, but any Everyone knows he has a very bright future."

Well, Yao Ming's words can be regarded as the best compliment and affirmation from one player to another player. At the same time, Yao Ming's words can also be regarded as establishing the status of Totoro in official occasions. Now the Rockets are his Totoro and not his little one. The Giants' team is gone, Yao Ming officially announced that he has retired to the second line, and Totoro has become the new core of the Rockets.

"Thank you Dayao for solving a fan's long-standing doubts for us. At the same time, I would also like to thank you for the fans of the Rockets and China. It is because you insisted on bringing Totoro to the Rockets. Now the Rockets have the hope of competing for the championship. , Chinese fans have also seen the hope of basketball rising.”

Director Zhang thanked Yao Ming, and the little giant waved his hands again and again, not daring to accept it. The two of them had done a lot of tricks in front of the screen, and they could go to Hollywood movies if they took longer.

"Then I have prepared a second question here, which is also of great concern to Rockets fans. I heard that the former owner of the Rockets is selling the team recently. We all know this, but what stage has it entered? But it’s unknown to the outside world, and many gossips outside are not accurate, can you reveal it to me here as a rocket player?”

Director Sun asked the second question, and Yao Ming immediately frowned pretendingly.

"Well, logically speaking, as a player, I can't disclose this news to everyone, but since Director Zhang has already asked this question, the fans also want to know, and the transfer plan is coming to an end, so I will give it to you. Let’s reveal a small part!”

The little giant pondered for a while, and those who didn't know thought he had made such a big decision.

"Now Wanda Group has completed the handover with Mr. Alexander, and the team has officially become our NBA home team in China. However, our new boss said that the team will not change the team name in a short time, the team's home arena, and The logo of the team uniform, for the sake of travel, Wanda Group will set up a department dedicated to managing the team to go to Houston."

Yao Ming's words made many people a little disappointed, but at the same time made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

They are disappointed because China Group finally has its own nba team. They all hope that the team's home court can be established in mainland China, but it is impossible to think about it. It takes at least one day for the United States and China to fly. Itinerary, the time difference is at least 10 hours, it is impossible for the NBA to allow the Rockets to move to such a distant place.

As for the Houston Rockets fans who were relieved, at least the team they supported did not move out of Seattle like the Thunder. This result is enough for them.

"However, I can tell you something here. In addition to acquiring the Rockets, the new consortium also bought back the sponsorship rights of the Toyota Center. After the All-Star Weekend, our home stadium will no longer be called the Toyota Center. Instead, it was officially renamed [Dragonborn Cave Arena]. The board of directors of our new consortium likes Totoro very much, and he has also become the first NBA player in NBA history to name the arena after his own nickname!"

Yao Ming’s news is very explosive. At least 1/3 of Totoro’s loyal fans jumped up in front of the TV or computer, and 1/30 of them smashed the computer, mobile phone or TV in front of them because they were too excited. Broken.

Naming one's own arena with the title of a player is something that the nba has never encountered in nearly half a century of history. You said that the little emperor is a veritable jewel in the palm of the Cavaliers, right?James didn't get this kind of treatment either. You said that Jordan is the long-standing signature of the Bulls, right?The Bulls didn't regard the Flying Man as the name of their home arena either!

And Totoro has obviously raised the player's low position to a new level. Since then, obtaining the shares of the team is no longer the highest honor a player can get. You are awesome and let the team build you an nba basketball stadium ah? !
As the beneficiary of Totoro, he was of course the first to get the news from the Xinxin Consortium. When he first heard about it, he couldn't help being a little excited, but I don't know if his brain circuit is different from ordinary people. His second reaction was not to happily announce the news on his Weibo or Facebook Twitter to show off to the public, but to frown.

Because he thought that as soon as the news about him came out, he would most likely become the envy and hate target of other players in the league. Emperor superstars.

At the start of the second half, the sophomores really changed the three-light policy of chasing and intercepting Totoro in the first half. They let Durant alone defend themselves, and the other players performed their duties and stuck to their opponents. One-third of an acre of land.

Chinchilla can't figure out the situation. He's not a roundworm in the stomach of the second-year team, and the first goal from the first-year team is particularly important. It's okay if he can't play other goals well, but this goal must be scored. Otherwise, as the lagging side, the morale will be affected throughout the second half.

In the case of not knowing whether the opponent really let him score or fake his own score, the safest way for Totoro is to turn sideways and play back singles!
"Hehe, Totoro's post-up singles was actually taught by me and Mutombo together. Before Scola went to the Rockets, Argentine Diamond also taught Totoro's dream footsteps."

Yao Ming, who was sitting on the anchor seat, couldn't help laughing as he watched Totoro dribble the ball near the bottom corner, leaning on Durant's shoulder and stepping inward step by step.

"My Neighbor Totoro is a very smart guy. As long as it is related to basketball, he can learn almost all the skills. However, because the Rockets have the relationship between me and Randolph, now he doesn't need to use what he knows. Every skill is shown to the fans one by one, but what I want to express is that Totoro's arsenal is really sufficient. He is the first player I have seen in the league who can play 1-5 positions! "

As soon as Yao Ming finished speaking, Totoro turned around, passed Durant at least 5 seconds behind his back, and scored with a dunk before Horford turned around.

Post-up singles is an inside skill that is not too difficult but not so easy to master.

It is divided into two types, one is to win by brute force, then no skills are needed, just use yourself as a bulldozer to dig in like O'Neill or Howard, and the other is to win by technology, which requires It can be difficult to learn.

Olajuwon is the best at kneading inside footsteps, virtual and real turns, and back-up singles. He combined these techniques into one technique "Dream Footsteps" or "Fantasy Footsteps", followed by the second best The most important is the Argentine diamond Luis Carat. His gorgeous dreamy footsteps can also make the defender dizzy. The other ones are Gasol, Duncan, Garnett and Yao Ming, but this kind of technology is enough. They dominate the league.

Totoro's use of "Dream Footsteps" is even worse now, almost at the next level of Yao Ming and the others. However, if compared with pure inside players, his inside skills are a bit out of reach, but if it is just a simple To do this with the league's small forwards, his post-up singles are too good.

Just like in this bottom-line contest between Totoro and Durant, Totoro's weight already has an advantage. Du Shubao has already spent a lot of effort to resist Totoro's strength, but in the struggle to reach the average When Totoro suddenly withdrew and helped him play a turn, how did Durant, who was caught off guard, defend?

Originally, the strength was inherently insufficient, and the opponent is still playing technical tasks with you. Now Du Shubao suddenly has the illusion that Totoro is actually more difficult to handle than James.

The first ball is played by Totoro from the left side, the second ball is played by Totoro from the right side, and the third ball is made by Totoro from the top of the arc on the left side and then a jump shot with an emergency stop.

In just three balls, he found a change in the opponent's defensive strategy against him.

Instead of blindly defending himself like in the first half, he allowed himself to score. Well, the letting go here refers to Du Shubao defending himself alone. Totoro has completely ignored Durant's defense.

Such a defensive policy contradicts Totoro's original intention, because in this way he will not be able to get assists and rebounds, and he will not be able to blindly hold the ball to score alone, and several other friends on the field will have to play.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t break the game. His selflessness in the first half gave him the right to take at least 10 shots. In these rounds of offense, he can do it alone, and other teammates will cooperate with him. And what he has to do is to finish all ten offenses, stop the second-year team with his personal ability, and force them to return to the defensive strategy of the first half!

Pull-up three-pointers, inside grabs, pull-up jumpers, small throws
Totoro used almost all the offensive skills it knew, and then scored 3 points in 14 minutes, stunned all the people in the New Orleans Arena.
