Chapter 86 Rising ratings in Asia!
"There's a loophole! Team Rocket has a big loophole!"

"Nash, the son of the wind, is there no one to defend?"

"This doesn't seem to be the key... The key seems to be that the three of the Suns teamed up, Nash, Bully and the rookie..."

"Um, this?"

until this time,
The fans suddenly realized that

The two leading stars of the Suns are teaming up with Du Qi... Oh my god, this is something that I couldn't even imagine before!

before,

Aren't they all isolated Du Qi?And Du Qi is arrogant, a bit like a star...

"Now this cooperation... There is Stoudemire on the inside and Nash on the outside. This No. [-] Asian kid, regardless of position or time, is extremely fast. It seems to be a bridge between the inside and outside, creating continuous shooting opportunities for Nash."

"Team Rocket is in danger..."

"pause!"

Rockets' bishop Rick Adelman called a timeout in time.

"Brooks, get out of here."

Adelman said to the rookie of the Rockets that he was very optimistic about Brooks in vain, but he didn't expect that it would be easy for the opponent's Asian No. [-] to pass him, "Alston, you go."

Then redeployed the 2+2+1 strategy.

Two people guard Du Qi, two people guard Nash, and Yao single-handedly beats Stoudemire.

……

This 2+2+1 strategy allowed the Rockets to stabilize the bad situation.

but.

That is at this time.

When Du Qi was defended by Ralph Alston and McGrady, the restricted Du Qi had to try to break through the two with "Limbo Weibu".

Seventy percent success rate.

It has already caused the Rockets a headache!
With 2 minutes left in the final game.

Even if the inside line is controlled by Yao Ming, the outside line Nash is double-teamed and unable to make a shot.But Du Qi's touch is here!

Breakthrough two people, shot frequently, scored frequently.

The score that the Rockets managed to catch up with was suppressed again.

"This……"

Rockets coach Rick - Adelman some not calm.Everything exceeded his expectations!
The biggest variable is the Asian number ten!

Adelman remembers,
At the NBA draft five months ago,
Rockets GM wants to draft this Asian kid,
I don't like him,

More bullish on Aaron Brooks...

But the situation in front of him made Adelman regret that he chose Brooks instead of Duke in the NBA draft:
"If I listened to the team manager at the time and chose this Asian No. [-] to join the Rockets..."

Thinking of this,

Adelman snuffed out the idea of ​​punching himself in the face.

"It's disgusting... what am I thinking?"

……

Because of Du Qi's outstanding performance, the next time became garbage time, because Du Qi pulled the point difference to 11 points.

Finally, when the whistle sounded for the end of the game,
The Suns beat the Rockets 110-99!

杜奇上场15分钟，拿下19分1篮板6助攻5抢断！

……

The Asian ratings of this game are rising steadily.

Especially in the fourth quarter, it reached a new height!
ESPN reporters came to the field immediately to take care of the fans in Asia, first called Du Qi and Yao Ming, and began to interview them:
"Yao, as today's opponent, what do you think of your compatriot rookie?"

"Dookie is great, I'm so proud of him!"

"Then Du, what do you think of your senior Yao?"

"Yao Ming is my idol, I am very proud!"

The interview is over.

Du Qi said excitedly to Yao Ming: "Yao Ming, now you can take me to the 2008 BJ Olympics."

"Hahaha..." Yao Ming laughed.

at the same time.

The Rockets here.

Bishop Adelman watched the star player Yao Ming and the Asian No. [-] fight fiercely, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

It was before the NBA draft.

Yao Ming also recommended this kid to him.

"coach……"

At this time, Maddie talked to him.

"Ok??"

"I have a sentence that has been held back for a long time, and I have always wanted to say..."

"What?"

"It's just that I think that when we were drafting, we should really choose this Asian No. [-]. Look at him, how amazing he is."

"..."

Adelman has a feeling of being supplemented.

He doesn't want to talk to McGrady, he wants to get out of here quickly.

Brooks on the side stared straight at Maddie...

what do you mean? !

"It is Asia Du who led Purdue University to win the NCAA championship in this year's NCAA competition."

"I suddenly had a better idea."

"Speak, manager."

"Fans in Asia are a huge market, and the ratings are enough to show... I was thinking, if a Suns VS Rockets match was arranged on Christmas Day, would it attract more fans' attention? ?”

"What about the Lakers?"

"Kobe is indeed attracting a lot of attention. But I want to change the taste for the fans... Everyone will get tired of watching Kobe all the time, right? Give them a change of taste, maybe it will have an unexpected bursting effect."
