Chapter 242 Fighting the Sun
The Phoenix Suns will start their Eastern Conference road trip in the next game. They won the last game against the Trail Blazers. If Skiles doesn't want to be dismissed in the middle of the season, there is not much time left for him.

"In the second quarter, the two sides accelerated the offensive and defensive rhythm. Rodney Rogers hit two consecutive three-pointers. The Suns only made three-pointers from him and Penny Hardaway. There is also a 36-year-old Dan Marley three-pointer. It's his last NBA season."

"The Warriors started to show off their three-pointers. McGrady Billups tried from outside the three-point line. Even Yao Ming pulled out from the three-point line and made two shots. He stood in front of him when he made the first shot. It was not Chakalidis, but Marbury, the political commissar who just came on the field. Marbury didn't expect Yao Ming to shoot a three-pointer. How can it be impossible to block Yao Ming's shot."

"To be honest, if Yao Ming wants to shoot outside the paint area, it is basically difficult to be blocked, especially from the front. If Yao Ming does not pay attention to the side, he may block Yao Ming when he comes to help defend, and he wants to block Yao Ming face to face. Name, it's really too difficult."

"Yao Ming, a high center forward with a net height of 2 meters, raises his hand to shoot, even if he doesn't jump, he just shoots sideways. With his wingspan of 26 meters, he stands about 2 meters high, and his release point is almost 25 meters from the height of the basket. It seems that ordinary NBA players have to take off with all their strength to block Yao Ming, but Yao Ming will not be stupid to wait for you to jump to the highest point before making a shot, a feint to trick you into taking off, and then take a calm shot."

"Yao Ming, who plays with a brain, made the first three-pointer and pulled out of the three-point line again. The Suns center Chakalidis followed this time, but he was one and a half steps away from the paint. Ken took another step outside, and when he came out, he couldn’t go back to guard the basket, and he was completely out of the three-point line, which is simply a fantasy for a center like him.”

"Yao Ming's second three-pointer made the Suns call a timeout immediately. This situation is completely unbearable. The Suns center dare not follow, so they can only let Yao Ming take such unscrupulous shots from the outside. Don’t hit it. It seems that Yao Ming’s three-pointer has been practiced, and he is very accurate. His hands are big, his feet are strong, his shots are steady, and many Chinese fans at home in Phoenix are cheering.”

"In any city in the United States, there are a large number of Chinese immigrants and their descendants. The largest number must be in California, Texas is less, and there are many places such as New York on the east coast. There are about 300 million Chinese immigrants in the United States, and this growth rate is very fast. , This does not include Chinese people who come to the United States to work and study, this number is about 100 million, and there are about 20 Chinese in San Francisco.”

"So the Warriors with Yao's name Hu Dong play at home in that city, and they can pull up a cheerleading team of thousands of Chinese in any place. The total volume of the NBA arena is only about [-], which is a smaller arena. Only a little over seventeen thousand."

"As long as the Warriors come to a certain place, it will be very difficult to buy tickets for that game. Every day, countless Chinese can't buy tickets with banknotes. In the end, they can only buy a ticket at a high price on Pandora's official website."

"Yao Ming, the No. [-] pick in the nba draft, quickly set off a Chinese basketball craze across the United States with his height and popularity. In the past, Chinese people only focused on making money and studying. There were many basketball fans, but they just went to the basketball court for a while in their spare time. There are too few Chinese fans to go to the NBA, but most of the most expensive seats for the Warriors’ home tickets this season are taken by wealthy Chinese families in San Francisco.”

"Pandora's official website sells tickets for the Warriors' home games. Of course, they are second-hand tickets. Some fans who are not available or temporarily have something to do will put their tickets on Pandora. Of course, the price will be much higher than the face value. There is no price."

“Usually the tickets behind the basketball hoop are the cheapest, and it’s very close to the court. The only downside is that you can’t see the front of the basket on your side when watching the game, but the players playing on the court are rushing towards you. , The sense of close contact is great, and the regular season ticket price is about more than 100 US dollars per ticket.”

"Well, the seats behind the bench where Yao Mingmaid Hill sits are very expensive. Even in the regular season, they may sell for tens of thousands of dollars. These seats are occupied by fanatical and loyal Warriors fans. Generally speaking It’s hard to get second-hand tickets even if you pay ten times the price.”

"There must be a lot of floor tickets in the basketball court. The experience of sitting on the floor of the basketball court and watching the ball is very exciting. The big guys with a height of more than 2 meters are running around in front of you with their teeth and claws, and their muscles often explode. Collisions and trash-talking, it's all in front of you, and the tickets are expensive, and there are high requirements for the fan level and personal credit of the buyer."

"Every Warriors home game will give at least [-] to [-] tickets for free. Local poor families and students in San Francisco, as well as Chinese lucky fans, etc., can get the opportunity to visit the scene in person, including accommodation, visas, air tickets, etc. All fees are included. Action is worse than action, you can immediately log on to Pandora’s official website to register to participate in the lottery, maybe you will be the next person to appear at Oracle Arena in San Francisco.”

"Having said so many off-court words, the first half between the Warriors and the Suns is over. The Warriors trailed the Suns by 53 points 56:3. The Suns coach Skiles replaced Georgian Chakalidis with a 6-footer The 8-inch black big man Bo Outlaw marks Yao Ming, a muscular man with speed and bounce, this is the type of opponent Yao Ming hates the most."

"The two sides continued to fight fiercely in the second half, Yao Ming took a rest, the Warriors sent Uncle Mu and Pau Gasol to partner inside, Arenas and Larry Hughes partnered outside, small forward Hu Dong, anyway, Marion never used physical bullying He is not good at breaking through, and Hu Dong plays very easily."

"The Warriors, who had shot more than a dozen three-pointers in the first half, began to fire unscrupulously in the third quarter. The weak defense of the Suns was like a piece of paper on a window. Arenas made three consecutive three-pointers. Suns point guard Marbury's eyeballs are protruding, his defense has always been poor, and he is not tall enough, and he can only think of getting it back when he is scored."

"But the problem is that Marbury is not good at three-pointers. In two of these three seasons, he made 28% of his three-pointers. This is still his first few years in the NBA. He hasn't developed his three-point skills yet. After the ball was scored, Marbury rushed inside with the ball, just like blowing up a bunker with a dynamite bag."

"Warrior's insider Da Jia and Big Ben sit in the town. It's really not ordinary players who can rush in. Marbury's physical fitness is really good. He was knocked into the air a few times. He got up like a normal person to make free throws or continue to rush. For ordinary people, he would have been paralyzed. Went to the hospital."

"The current nba rules are like this, advocating physical contact and hands-on, under normal circumstances, the referee turns a blind eye to the physical confrontation as if he didn't see it. Of course, the treatment of big-name players and superstars will be different. The referee and the league absolutely do not allow anyone to hurt. Their signature player."
