Morris didn't play much in the Whirlwinds' warm-up game against the Mountaineers, scoring just four points and three rebounds, but he made three big shots in a very short period of time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the big brute bull is still the big brute bull, and the fierce man is still the most solid iron shield of the whirlwind team. But apart from the Ames City fans, no one paid attention to the news of the return of this ordinary player, not even Anjie and Taylor.

Watching Taylor and Anjie, two former teammates, both step into the NBA, how can Morris not have the slightest wave in his heart?

"Are you really going to give up basketball?" he asked himself more than once, but in the end he decided not to bow to fate.

Before he succeeded, he decided not to tell anyone about his comeback. Morris is not a person who will accept defeat easily, so after Anjie left, the key to the stadium gate that Austin Sr. gave Anjie more than fell into Morris's hands. Without affecting the injured foot, Morris also began to practice diligently and boringly. Although the intensity of training is not as great as Anjie's, Morris is still sweating and improving day by day without anyone knowing.

It's not that Anjie doesn't care about his alma mater, it's just that he really doesn't have much time to pay attention to things outside the NBA. Even when talking to Catherine and her family, he had to make a long story short.

An Jie is still the hardest working person in the team, and Kalesimo is still the one who criticizes An Jie's style of play the most. In his opinion, this rookie just hasn't adapted to the Thunder's tactics yet, and is still playing according to the college set.

After all, people can't be full of good luck all their lives, and after meeting a coach like Ricard who is good at using a center in college, Anjie's first NBA coach is obviously a model of a coach who will not use a center. In P.J. Calesimo's eyes, once a center leaves the three-second zone, it is no different from a decoration, but if it weren't for the greatest assistance to Durant and Westbrook, Anjie would not have frequently mentioned the high post. But who developed the tactics that allowed Westbrook and Durant to attack the interior again and again?

It is necessary to let the two extremely impactful outside lines break through more, and not let An Jie mention the high position to respond, Karasimo's tactics themselves are self-contradictory! But he is still the head coach of the Thunder team, and An Jie is not the kind of rebellious boy who will conflict with the head coach, so An Jie can only silently accept it.

An Jie is getting more and more aggrieved, but fortunately, Westbrook and Durant have a good relationship with An Jie, so they occasionally pass An Jie to let him perform in front of Calesimo. But this is not a long-term solution after all, and the depressed An Jie can only continue to play in a way he doesn't like during confrontation training.

"I saw it in the first game, he is a soft egg who has no ability!" After An Jie called Divac to complain, Divac also scolded without holding back.

'I'm worried that if I continue like this, I'll lose my place in the team. "It's not that An Jie doesn't know his position in Kalesimo's heart, as long as Kalesimo says a word, it's not impossible for An Jie to sit on the bench throughout the game.

"You don't have to worry, your general manager, Presti, is a smart man, and he personally appointed you, and he won't let that old guy waste you. Divac is quite sure of that.

After hanging up Divac's phone, Angel dialed home and Catherine again. When all the tasks that should be done today were completed, the exhausted An Jie lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Not playing for two days in a row didn't make Anjie much easier, and after the Thunder's poor performance in the first game, P.J. Calesimo significantly increased the intensity of training, especially the number of confrontation sessions. This makes everyone on the Thunder team tired, not to mention An Jie, who still has to stay and practice for himself?

In addition to intensive training, the two back-to-back games in a row also put pressure on the Thunder players. And when it comes to the pressure in his heart, Anjie is undoubtedly the most difficult one! Because tomorrow Anjie will fly with the team to the first stop of their back-to-back games, Houston!

In China, whether it is an online live broadcast platform or a live TV channel, all media have obtained the broadcast rights of this game at any cost. If anyone is still questioning the ratings of this kind of game, he must have his head caught in the door!

All the fans have launched a heated discussion on the Internet, and the topic of what the confrontation between An Jie and Yao Ming will look like has occupied almost the front page of all basketball forums.

The game is held on the weekend, so everyone from office workers to student parties can feast their eyes on this November morning. China's sports media are also almost in full swing, and it is arguably the most important game for Chinese fans at the beginning of the season.

Wu Hua was sent to Houston early by his immediate boss, and every NBA game of Yao Ming has attracted much attention, not to mention that now there is another gimmick for hype. In the previous Chinese derby, those players were generally not directly opposite Yao Ming. And now An Jie is playing the position of center forward! And he is also the main rotation member of the team, and he will definitely face Yao Ming directly in the game! So this Chinese derby can be said to be worthy of the name, which is enough to ignite the passion in the hearts of all Chinese fans.

Reporters like to compare An Jie to Yao Ming when he first entered the league, after all, An Jie's thin body and relatively flexible playing style are really similar to Yao Ming at that time. Therefore, this matchup has also been hyped by some media as a kind of heritage, as long as you want, there are simply too many things to hype up in this game.

Yao Ming is also looking forward to this showdown with his compatriots, after all, Yao Ming, a Chinese player in the NBA, is very familiar with him, and everyone has been teammates in the national team. And An Jie is completely different, he is a player outside the system, an opponent full of uncertainty, what is the level of this child, Yao Ming also wants to try a deep level. After all, we are all compatriots, and who doesn't want China to have a good player again?

An Jie's face of such a game is more of a headache, 140kg opponent, which An Jie has never encountered in previous basketball games. And An Jie's height and arm span advantages that he relied on to survive on the court did not play a role in front of Yao Ming. An Jie is not an arrogant maniac, he knows that he can't defeat the powerful Yao Ming at one time, but he must have some countermeasures to fight Yao Ming. However, when Angel set foot on Houston soil, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

As soon as the Thunder team got off the plane, they were frantically surrounded by reporters, but this time the vast majority of reporters were Chinese!

"An Jie, do you feel nervous when you fight Yao Ming for the first time!"

"Do you think it's possible for you to shake Yao Ming's dominance in Chinese basketball!?"

"How many points do you think you can score in front of Yao Ming?"

The reporters kept asking questions, and today even the team's boss Durant did not have Anjie's treatment.

"It seems that you and I will be foils in this game. Westbrook looked sympathetically at Anjie, who was surrounded by his own compatriots, and joked with Durant.

Fortunately, the Houston police arrived in time to rescue An Jie, who was caught in the fire and water. The local police department sent four motorcycles to clear the way for the Thunder bus, and countless Chinese people held signs on the side of the road along the way to welcome An Jie's arrival.

Anjie didn't put on a show, he smiled inside the bus and waved to the fans outside the window. At this moment, Westbrook suddenly stabbed An Jie with his elbow.

"I said An, you can also teach us a few words of Chinese, and then we can also say hello to the Chinese media." ”

"Yes, yes, you can't just be in the limelight. Wilcox also came up.

When the Thunder players' buses arrived at their destination, the reporters' flashing lights immediately flashed. The bus opened the gate, and Westbrook was the first to rush down.

"The mud is stuffy, the mud is stuffy. Westbrook's broken Chinese made all Chinese reporters smile, and of course there was a flash of vertigo at him. His move also really made many Chinese fans like this naughty little defender.

And An Jie's appearance finally led to a climax, and everyone on the Thunder team has not been so concerned, and now because of An Jie, they are all stained.

After squeezing into the Toyota Center Court with all his might, Yao Ming and his Rockets team had already warmed up in it early. Yao Ming smiled slightly when he saw An Jie, and An Jie also responded with a smile, and hurriedly went to the dressing room to change clothes.

When the Thunder warmed up, An Jie did not follow his teammates.

"Hey Russell, you guys go warm up first, I need to go over and say hello. Anjie pointed to the half of the Rockets' warm-up.

At this time, Yao Ming was sitting on the bench, cross-legged and talking and laughing with Scola next to him. Seeing An Jie coming, Yao Ming didn't have any old qualifications, but stood up from the bench respectfully.

"Hello Brother Yao. An Jie stretched out his hands to shake Yao Ming's hand, very restrained. Just kidding! What he is facing is the pride and banner of Chinese basketball!

"It's pretty high, and I don't touch the ceiling much like me. Yao Ming used his humor to try to dispel An Jie's nervousness.

"How does it feel to play in the NBA?" asked Yao Ming casually.

"It's good, it's good, I have to learn a lot from Brother Yao. "An Jie is not used to facing such idols on the court, he is just a complete newbie, so he will seem a little overwhelmed when facing a star like Yao Ming.

"Don't be nervous, I'll behave well later, it's a pity that the 08 Olympics didn't take you to fight monsters together, after all, it's a rare Olympics held at home. But it doesn't matter, there are many opportunities, play hard and strive to be selected for the national team next time. Yao Ming smiled and patted An Jie's shoulder, he is really a player with strong national self-esteem, ready to fight for the country all the time. Of course, we will not forget to find new blood for the country.

The two sides chatted a few more words, and after seeing Calesimo's increasingly wrong face, An Jie also had to leave and go back to warm up.

"Hey, do you think we have a chance to win? Brother Yao. Halfway through, An Jie suddenly turned around, as if joking and as if he was serious and said such an ambiguous sentence to Yao Ming.

"There are no doors, Anjie. Yao Ming replied with a smile, whether this sentence was a joke or serious, it was a word without malicious intent.

The two giants finally separated, and when they met again, the two men had to turn against each other.

The Chinese Derby is about to start!

The most direct duel between the center forwards is being watched by fans all over China!
