The Way of the Center

Yao Ming looked out the window thoughtfully. This airport was once too familiar to him. The tension and anxiety of coming here under the pressure of the champion, and the inexplicable peace of mind every time I fly here. All the delicate feelings rushed to Yao Ming's heart in an instant.

Yao Ming's feelings for Houston are really deep. That red memory belongs not only to the Chinese fans, but also to Yao Ming himself.

It's been a while since he retired, but Yao Ming rarely returns to the nBa arena to watch the game. Even in the Rockets game, Yao Ming didn't pay much attention to it. But today, he can't help but want to come to watch the game, even if it will make him delay a lot of things, Yao Ming will not hesitate.

He doesn't want to miss this game, and he doesn't want to miss another Chinese giant's feat in the nBa arena. Yao Ming wants to witness Anjie's 22-game winning streak. The baton that carries the hope of Chinese basketball will also be officially handed over after 22 consecutive victories.

"What do you want? Yao." Next to Yao Ming, a black man stabbed Yao Ming with his elbow.

"It's nothing, Tracy. I just didn't expect that someone would approach our record so soon." That's right, the other person who sits next to Yao Ming and decides to go to Houston with Yao Ming to watch the game is Tracy. . McGrady!

"You Chinese, really tough creatures. It was you before, but now it's Ann. 22 consecutive victories...I really miss it. The most unexpected thing is that this thing can actually be related to the Rockets. Together. Breaking the record on the last record-breaking team is really dramatic." McGrady looked at the ceiling and naturally flashed through those tragic years quickly in his mind.

"Get off the plane, Tracy, Dikembe should have been waiting for us in the terminal." Yao Ming raised his waist and stood up and took off his luggage. Even the first-class cabin can't hold Yao Ming's height.

"Dikembe? Old Dikembe is here too? God, Yao, I don't know how many celebrities will appear on the scene. Your compatriots, can't let us down." Mutombo also came as soon as he heard. McGrady was very surprised. It seems that he and Yao Ming are far more than just watching this game.

All the decent guys are gathering at the Toyota Center, and as the protagonists tonight, the Trail Blazers and Rockets arrived at the training ground early and started preparatory work before the game.

"Go out, yes, Hickson, you'll have to defend like this later in the game. Don't look at Patrick Patterson's rough eyes, that guy is a fake three-point shooter." In the training ground, Ricard is still asking his players to conduct tactical drills. Hickson is accustomed to the habit of going to the basket to defend, Ricard must help him correct it.

After this period of targeted training, Hickson's follow-up and defense quality on the outside has been greatly improved. Rockets power forward Patrick Patterson, today I am afraid it is difficult to get a chance to play.

"Are you nervous? George." Seeing Ricard yelling solemnly from the sidelines, Divac walked to Ricard and asked softly.

"Nervous? Why should I be nervous." When Ricard answered this question, his eyes were not very natural.

"Because of 22 consecutive victories and 22 consecutive victories, both the team and Ann will rewrite history again. The more baggage you want to win, the easier it is to collapse. Take a break, George. You and the players, both need it. Rest.” Although Divac is Ricard’s assistant coach, he has much more nBa experience than Ricard. This guy felt that he was obliged to adjust the mentality of this young marshal. If the string is too tight, I'm afraid it will be easier to break from it.

Ricard let out a sigh of relief. Divac was right. He was full of his 22-game winning streak. Normal mind, normal mind is very important if you want to win the game.

"Beep!" Ricard blasted the whistle he hung on his chest, and all the players on the court instantly stopped their movements and turned to look at his coach.

"Rest rest, rest in place!" Ricard finished speaking, and sat cross-legged himself. Now there are only seven hours before the start of the night game. This little time should be a good adjustment to the physical condition of the players, rather than running those tactics that are already running well over and over again.

Under Ricard's order, the players came to the physiotherapy room one by one. The trailblazer team doctors accompanying the team massaged the players to relax, trying to minimize their fatigue.

An Jie snored directly during the massage process. There is no way. If you want to say that the guy in this team is the most physically and mentally tired, and the most stressed guy, that must be An Jie, the leading star. I hope that these few hours of relaxation will enable An Jie to live and live in the fierce competition that is destined to be at night...

....................

Familiar stadium, familiar reporter, familiar seat. Everything at the Toyota Center is the same as before. The only difference is that Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Mutombo are no longer fighting warriors on the court today, but just spectators in the audience.

The arrival of these three guys without warning caused a small climax inside the Toyota Center. An Jie sitting in the locker room was surprised. The players have not yet appeared. Why are the fans so excited about it?

Reporters, fans, and even the top of the Rockets will run to the three of them and chat with them. Before the start of the game, they are the focus of the audience. And the appearance of these few people also made the commentators of various TV stations find a lot of topics.

"The people who set a record of 22 consecutive victories that year are sitting in the Toyota Center. They are about to witness here, and another group of people will have an impact on their records. This mood must be very complicated." Kenny Smithke Unexpectedly, the creators of the previous record would appear here.

"Interestingly, Yao and An, these two Chinese, are an inseparable part of the two records. If Yao were not there, the Rockets could not have done this feat. And now the Blazers do not have An, it is impossible to go to this day. This step. I look forward to this game Kenny. The Rockets have been in the limelight recently, and the Blazers have not lost for more than a month. This is destined to be a big battle, a battle where both sides will desperately fight for victory! "O'Neal also has mixed flavors in his heart. Who would have thought that the insiders of the nBa alliance would be ruled by the Chinese. From Yao Ming to Anjie, China's inside players have created an era of their own in nBa.

Now, it depends on whether Anjie can make this era even more brilliant!

The Rockets officially organized a pre-match player introduction ceremony for this special regular season ingeniously today. When introducing the Blazers players, the live dJ just passed the name quickly. When An Jie was called, the boos on the scene were as loud as ever.

At this time, many TV station photographers decided to focus their lens on Yao Ming in the stands. They wanted to see how Yao Ming would react at this moment.

However, Yao Ming had all the laughs to talk to Mutombo and McGrady, and did not appear embarrassed because his compatriots were booed at the Toyota Center. Because Yao Ming knows that visiting fans booed you, it doesn't mean how much they hate you, it only proves that they are afraid of you! If Angel was replaced by Meyers Leonard, the fans at the Toyota Center might not even have a reaction.

After that, the Rockets' player introduction ceremony was much more solemn than before. When James Harden made his last appearance, the cheers on the scene finally reached the same level as the boo Anjie just got.

Seeing the players from both sides leaning towards the center circle, Yao Ming put away his smile and his expression became serious.

In this regard, he is exactly the same as An Jie. An Jie's expression was very relaxed just now, but when he stepped into the middle circle to face Asik, his entire face was fierce.

Asik swallowed. He only hoped that he would not be abused too badly in this game.

"Dear audience friends, everyone, audience friends, welcome to lock on ccTV5. The Blazers vs. Rockets game has finally begun!" Yu Jia's voice appeared in the living rooms of thousands of households in China, and An Jie won for the Blazers. Basketball kicked off this highly anticipated game.

Jeremy Lin, the Chinese-American who once performed miracles, defeated Kobe, and appeared in Time Magazine, surprised fans all over the world. Now, he is the main player of the Rockets.

At first, Morey decided to recruit Jeremy Lin, first to continue to open up the Chinese market, and secondly, he also hoped that Jeremy Lin could continue his magical performance and form a powerful backcourt with James Harden.

But so far this season, Jeremy Lin's performance is very average. He is indeed a qualified point guard, but his strength is far from his reputation.

And now because of An Jie, a quintessential "national", Jeremy Lin's domestic popularity is also tepid. It can be said that none of Morey's illusions when he recruited Jeremy Lin was realized.

When Lillard passed Jeremy Lin with ease, domestic fans also left the yellow-skinned defender behind. An Jie is their focus today, Jeremy Lin? His role in this game is destined to be a passer-by.

Lillard, the No. 1 candidate for the best rookie, did not put Jeremy Lin in his eyes. After the breakthrough was successful, he directly took off, intending to stop the jumper to complete the offense.

With 21 consecutive victories, Lillard, who had already rushed into his character, became more carefree. He shouldn't underestimate the enemy, even if Jeremy Lin is indeed not as good as his performance.

As soon as Lillard took off, Jeremy Lin, who was chasing him back, saw the opportunity and cut off the basketball in Lillard's hands.

Anje thought Lillard would detect all this and pass the ball to himself. Unexpectedly, the basketball in Lillard's hands was really taken away by Jeremy Lin!

"Damn it!" Lillard cursed. Just as he was about to pounce on Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin handed the basketball to a short guard with a big beard-James Harden!

Harden is definitely one of the biggest dark horses this season. This black guard who could only play the sixth man in the Grizzlies has proved that he has the ability to become a superstar.

Harden's counterattack was very quick, and the Blazers players struggled to catch up.

When Harden ran to the three-point line to prove the top arc, he suddenly stopped! Lillard and Matthews obviously didn't expect Harden to make a sudden stop outside the three-point line. Does this guy want to complete the fast break outside the three-point line?

Just when Lillard and Matthews were in a daze~www.NovelMTL.com~ Harden's left-handed shot was already taken. An Jie struggled to take off and prepared to complete the shot from behind, but he was still a little short of the height of the basketball.

The basketball flew over everyone's heads, and under the watchful eyes of Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Mutombo, and thousands of fans all over the world, it hollowed into the net.

"James Harden! Beautiful chasing three-pointer! Damien paid the price for his underestimation. The Houston Rockets would not be willing to be the springboard for Anhe Trail Blazers!" Mike Brin's voice was very excited, at least. This game will not once again become a unilateral slaughter by the Trail Blazers.

"They won't let you pass easily, An." Yao Ming muttered to himself in a low voice. He wanted to see how An Jie would lead the team to respond.

22-game winning streak? The Blazers have to rely on their own hands to grab it!
