I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 277

After the Knicks got off the plane here, they were greeted by amazing fans.

On the other side in Houston, Yao Ming was looking pensive.

Perhaps because of the upcoming Chinese Derby, Yao Ming has recently received business cooperation requests from several domestic companies.

This also prompted him to further think about his current situation.

In fact, Dayao's current situation in the Rockets is also a bit delicate.

The Yao-Mike combination that has been hyped has not achieved any results until now, which disappointed the fans in Houston.

When Yao Mai teamed up, it became a historic duo. Both Yao Mai and Yao Mai were full of confidence and wanted to hit a higher level.

As a result, from 2004 to now, more than four years have passed, and the Yao-Mai combination could not even pass the first round of the playoffs, which disappointed many fans.

And according to the original trajectory, Maizi will leave after one more year of farming.

In other words, in another year, the Yao-Mai combination will be disbanded, so the atmosphere within the Rockets is a bit delicate.

Although they still get along well in private, there is always a feeling of each other on the field.

Now Yao Ming has taken Su Ye’s advice seriously, has lost weight and has less injuries, but he is still not a very healthy player. So far Yao Ming has not played full-time in any season. He also missed 15 games in the most played season.

And Maizi has officially entered the downhill of his career since this season.

This season, McGrady's scoring average has reached 15.6 points, which has plummeted compared to last season's average of 20+ points per game.

These are problems that would have occurred in the original history, and the problems that did not exist in the original history made the Rockets worse.

For example, the Rockets should have an Artest this season, but Taizi is now flourishing in the 76ers, and Iverson and Gasol are like glue.

Yao Mai?unfamiliar.

The Rockets had gone downhill this season, and now the problem is more obvious.

Although Yao Ming looks simple and honest on the outside, he has a good brain and a high emotional intelligence.

He already smelled that the whole team was about to break up.

Now, he faces a choice.

Yao Ming's this season and the next season are player options. In fact, he doesn't like the Rockets management very much, but his team has taken root in Houston, and he likes the fans and basketball culture here, and he doesn't want to leave here.

Now the story of one man guarding one city in the NBA has not completely gone bankrupt. Many players also believe in such stories and rules, and Yao Ming is one of them.

If it weren't for the belief that every team in the old NBA has a king, Yao Ming would not have stayed with the Rockets until his retirement in the original history.

It was also because of Su Ye's appearance that Yao Ming was shaken a little.

But Dayao still favors Houston.

. . . . . .

Today Houston ushered in the Chinese Derby, Su Yao fought, and brought a little red porpoise by the way.

Houston's Toyota Center was packed early in anticipation of tonight's game.

Because of the battle between Su and Yao, a large number of Chinese fans appeared in the Toyota Center.

At a glance, Chinese fans accounted for nearly half of the entire stadium.

Although it is said that there are often Chinese fans in the Toyota Center, it is the first time that such a large number of Chinese fans have appeared on the scene.

The espn commentary on the scene was stunned:

"omg, there are a lot of Chinese fans today, I even thought I was in China."

"Today is the derby match. I believe that not only Houston, but also many Chinese fans from other parts of the United States have come."

"It's time to learn Chinese, buddy. If you don't, you won't be able to understand other people's speech in the United States in the future."

Facing so many Chinese fans on site, the on-site commentator directly raised the white flag.

Not long after, the teams from both sides entered the field, and the scene actually sounded in Chinese:

"Come on, Su Ye! Come on, Su Ye!"

"Come on Yao Ming! Come on Yao Ming!"

"Little Zhu, come on too..."

The entire Toyota Center arena was covered by neat and powerful Chinese shouts. Those who didn't know thought it was in a domestic arena.

The on-site commentator simply spread his hands and surrendered directly:

"I can tell that our Chinese guys are cheering for Su Ye and Yao Ming."

"Well, today is the Chinese Derby, so I have to give them a shout out."

If you can't beat it, join in. Even the commentary and the other half of the foreign fans followed suit and cheered.

Moreover, Yao Ming and Su Ye cheered one after another, as if there was no favoritism on either side.

When Zhu Fangyu entered the arena and heard the shouts, she burst into tears. It turned out that someone was calling me.

Soon the warm-up was over, the two sides started to play, and the game officially started.

Houston Rockets starting lineup: Rafe Alston + Tracy McGrady + Sean Battier + Luis Scola + Yao Ming.

New York Knicks starting list: Deron Williams + Ray Allen + Su Ye + Zach Randolph + Chuck Hayes.

The on-site commentator looked at the upcoming game and became serious:

"Today's game is between the Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks. The Knicks have maintained an undefeated record since the beginning of the game. It depends on whether the Rockets can give the Knicks their first defeat today."

"In this game, the focus of both sides is Su Ye and Yao Ming, the derby of Chinese players."

"Although Su Ye is in the limelight now, Yao is also an All-Star center who has been in the NBA for four years. This matchup is full of expectations."

"The Rockets' front line is not in good shape this season, and it may not necessarily make Su Ye show off."

"He's Su Ye! I doubt that Su Ye can turn the away game into the home game today!"

"No, look around, this is already Su Ye's home field!"

The sideline commentary continued to heat up the atmosphere. The protagonists of this game, Su Ye and Yao Ming, did not have any conversations before the game.

Su Ye and Yao Ming are very familiar with each other. Although they haven't communicated with each other, they both know that they will give their best in this game, and only showing their best is the respect for each other.

The game started, Yao Ming and Hayes jumped the ball.

There are not many centers who can lose to Hayes in the opening jump ball in the NBA, not to mention that Yao Ming is still close to invincible with the jump ball.

Yao Ming easily defeated Hayes and took away the basketball.

There has always been an unspoken rule in the Knicks game. You don't need to watch the opening jump ball at all, just let Hayes lose.

Usually the players on both sides have a tacit understanding. If the Knicks players don't grab the ball and the opponent gets the ball comfortably, the symbolic meaning is over.

The Rockets thought so too.

After all, Yao Ming, who is known as the Great Wall, could not lose to Hayes by jumping the ball, so some players even walked towards the frontcourt.

McGrady was standing there with a signature lazy expression of not opening his eyes, waiting to catch the ball from Yao Ming, but at the next moment, a black shadow rushed out like the wind.

McGrady felt his eyes flash, his hands were empty, but the ball was gone.

Looking back, Su Ye had already got the ball, and after passing it to another person, he ran towards the frontcourt like a fly.

Digging, you can't afford it, you engage in sneak attacks!

Didn't you give up the opportunity to start the attack?Why did you have a raid?

Although Yao Ming won the jump ball, Su Ye won the subsequent grab.

Su Ye was the first to run into the inside line, and Delong behind him understood and threw the ball into the air to help Su Ye catch it.

"Oh!"

Goal!

2: 0.

With a goal in the opening moment, the Knicks' offense was ridiculously fast.

Just like a child who just ate the forbidden fruit, it is already over at the beginning.

The Rockets stood still, dazed. .

It was so fast that no one reacted immediately.

Maddie rubbed her eyes that looked like she was still awake: "Fuck, what just happened?"

Didn't we win the jump ball?Why did the opponent score in the blink of an eye?

The members of the Rockets also have this idea.

Even the audience at the scene is the same.

Everyone saw Dayao winning the jump ball, and they were all waiting to see the Rockets slowly advance and start a positional battle.

Unexpectedly, the Knicks had already scored with one carelessness.

It's like riding a roller coaster. When they thought they were going uphill, they swished down.

After a few seconds, the fans at the scene reacted and burst into cheers:

"Damn it, the Knicks scored a goal! Su Ye runs as fast as a supercar."

"I looked back a bit, from Dayao's jump ball win to Su Ye's dunk, I almost thought it was Dayao and Su Ye's connection."

"This is really a connection between Su and Yao! Yao Ming is in charge of the jump ball, and Su Ye is in charge of the dunk."

"Looking at Maizi's eyes, I guess I thought I hadn't woken up."

"It turns out that I was dreaming just now, no wonder no one can keep up with Su Ye's death."

After all, Chinese fans accounted for half of the audience, and Su Ye's goal directly heated up the atmosphere at Toyota Center.

Especially when the big screen gave Maizi a picture, Maizi's bewildered appearance made all the fans laugh.

Everyone drives Ferraris on the court, but I, Mai, sleepwalks on the court.

The on-site commentary was instantly ignited by Su Ye: "Yao jumped to the ball for the Rockets, but the rest of the Rockets were too slack and gave the ball to the opponent like sleepwalking. I would like to call this wave Su Yao connection. "

"Su Ye went down like the wind, and the opening game was an alley-oop dunk! I'm McGrady and I was also confused. The opponent was obviously a striker, but he ran out of the style of a sports car."

"The Rockets have to wake up now, otherwise Su Ye will let them sleep to death!"

Although Su Ye played the ball by surprise, it can be seen that the spirit of the Rockets is not right.

At the same time, Rockets general manager Morey, who watched the live broadcast of the game, was trembling with anger as soon as he came up.

"Damn it, what are these bastards doing? Concentrate on me!"

Morey looked at the Yao-Mai combination he formed with great ambitions at the beginning, and now he is getting more and more angry, not only Yao Ming, but also Maizi.

. . .

There was an exchange of offense and defense on the court, Alston brought the ball over and gave the ball to McGrady.

The Rockets' offense has never been in a hurry. They are a team that likes positional warfare.

After all, the Rockets have Yao, and as long as they fall into the rhythm of positional warfare, the Rockets will be worthy of anyone.

But this time, McGrady didn't plan to attack Dayao from the start.

McGrady made a feint, giving full play to his long hands and feet, breaking through in stride, and making a sudden stop.

However, Ray Allen's defense on the opposite side is not a vegetarian, and he directly covered McGrady's face.

Against Ray Allen's defense, McGrady was still moving in a chic way, and his shooting posture was not disturbed in any way.

"Dang!"

The basketball drew an elegant arc and hit the basket.

Pull out and strike the iron, Su Ye accepts the rebound.

McGrady frowned slightly. If it was before, this pull-up would be very sure, but now... After the decline, many shots this season are outrageous.

The Knicks here will not give the Rockets a chance to think slowly, they don't even give the Rockets a chance to drop their position.

Su Ye took the lead, and the three forwards, Deron and Ray Allen, ran directly, followed by Randolph and Hayes.

The Knicks immediately launched a defensive counterattack and a fast break attack.

When the five Knicks rushed over, the Rockets had only three players in the backcourt.

The front court played more and less, and after a few people passed the ball to each other like rugby, Su Ye received the ball with a simple one-handed snap.

"Oh!"

4: 0.

The audience cheered, and there was a scream.

Su Ye fell from the basket and made a Peter Pan-like expression, as if he was performing here as his home stadium.

The on-site commentator also became excited: "Su Ye is another one-handed dunk in a fast break. He scored 4 points in a row in the opening game. He is too fast!"

"Look at the Chinese fans at the Toyota Center. The Toyota Center has become Su Ye's home stadium!"

Su Ye's two dunks were very fast, it looked like a bolt of lightning flashed across and then exploded on the basket.

Originally, there were half of the Chinese fans at the Toyota Center, and they both supported Su Ye and Yao Ming. Now that Su Ye played a wave of climax, they cheered even more.

Even the other half of the local Houston fans joined in:

"Shit, Su Ye's speed is like driving an F1 car on a basketball court!"

"I know there is a gap between McGrady and Su Ye, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big. Su Ye feels like the strongest small forward in the league!"

"It feels like the Knicks are playing completely different today. They are like the Suns before. The offense has been running."

"The Knicks' offensive speed, I thought the point guard was Steve Nash..."

This Chinese derby was vaguely set by the Knicks.

The pace of the game is fast!

Sidelines, the Rockets coach, Adelman has felt something is wrong.

But he still said to himself: "Is it just a coincidence? Not everyone can play the rhythm of the Suns. It is impossible for the Knicks to run like this for most of the game."

It would be terrible if the Knicks can really run on the offensive end all the time, after all, this is the biggest weakness of the Rockets.

But Adelman is still a little fluke, the Suns' style of play is still difficult to maintain, perhaps the Knicks can only play a few such attacks.

On the court, the Rockets played slowly on the offensive end and handed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming scored with a hook against Hayes, which also made Adelman heave a sigh of relief.

That's right, just slow down the tempo and don't get caught in the opponent's tempo.

He believes that the fast pace of the Knicks will not last long.

As long as the rhythm slows down, the Rockets are still the overlord of the position.

However, Prosel on the Knicks bench looked at Adelman on the opposite side with a sly smile on his face.

"Old thief, old thief, times have changed a long time ago. Today I'm going to let you see the difference between the [-]-meter pole and the Lamborghini!"
