"Thank you! I'm looking forward to playing against you later, and the next time you come to Los Angeles, you must come to my house as a guest, and my wife must be very happy to see you as a fellow. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tiger sent out an invitation in a friendly manner. The two had some simple conversations on the sidelines in Chinese, and the atmosphere was always good.

As long as Tiger Washington shows up at the game, his every move is very attention-grabbing, so when he had a brief conversation with Yao Ming, returned to the Los Angeles Clippers, and began to warm up, Jason Green first came to Tiger's side and asked curiously: "That big guy, is there anything special?" You seem to like him a lot? ”

"Yao? He's this year's top pick, he's from Huaxia, he's from the same country as Li, he's a very nice guy, and when I invited him to Los Angeles, I came to the house as a guest. Tiger briefly introduced Yao Ming to Jason Green.

On the Houston Rockets side, teammates also surrounded Yao Ming and asked nonsense, Tiger looks good-tempered, in fact, it gives people a deep sense of distance, and it is even more rare to take the initiative to greet the opposing players before the game, and only Duncan, Garnett, and Carter used to have this treatment, so everyone was very curious, what Tiger said to Yao Ming.

"Yao, did you know Tiger Washington before?" The teammate asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen Tiger Washington himself." Yao Ming replied with a good temper.

"What did he say to you? Did you just speak Chinese? ”

"Just to say hello, when he invited me to Los Angeles, he came to his house as a guest, Tiger spoke Chinese very well, I think it was because of his wife, who is a Chinese student." Yao Ming answered his teammates' questions one by one.

"No, Tiger Washington has been speaking Chinese since he was a child, there is a very famous Chinese restaurant in Atlanta, there are a lot of pictures of Tiger in it, I heard that the owner there used to be a domestic servant in Tiger when Tiger was young, and Tiger learned Chinese from that boss, and I once went to that restaurant." At this time, Kenny Thomas opened his mouth and said that he was an Atlanta and knew a lot about Tiger Washington, the darling of Atlanta.

"Oh! Is it true that Kenny has heard that Tiger Washington is very popular in Atlanta? Yao Ming asked curiously.

"He's the king of Atlanta! It's also the pride of Atlanta. Kenny Thomas said in a respectful tone.

"Tiger is so popular in the United States! It is estimated that only Michael Jordan can be taller than him. Yao Ming sighed.

"You are wrong, the current United States, Michael Jordan's popularity, to a certain extent, is not as high as Tiger Washington, you are still a rookie, you have not been to Atlanta and North Carolina, there is Tiger Washington's base camp, every time the Los Angeles Clippers go there to play, the fans on the scene will turn against each other and support the Los Angeles Clippers, and the fans will surround the airport early to welcome Tiger's arrival, such treatment, that is, Michael Jordan, no." Kenny Thomas talked to Yao Ming in detail about Tiger's stay in Atlanta.

"It's unbelievable!" Yao Ming said in surprise.

"It's also normal Yao, slowly you will know, Tiger Washington's popularity in Atlanta, he is really terrifying, after Tiger Washington was injured last season, Atlanta fans held a protest to force the league to severely punish the murderer, and another fan ran directly to Portland and shot Rasheed Wallace, just to avenge Tiger Washington." At this time, Francis also said with some envy.

Yao Ming's eyes widened in surprise, Huaxia is a country that bans guns, for the sake of the basketball players he likes, he directly moves guns, such a thing is completely beyond Yao Ming's cognition, and now the most popular basketball player in China is Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi is not only the first Asian player to enter the NBA, but also the first Asian player to win the NBA championship, even if Yao Ming came to the NBA with the halo of the champion, but compared with Wang Zhizhi, who has already won the championship, it still seems that the honor is not enough. But even if Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming are combined, they will not be in Huaxia, and some fans will do such crazy things.

In the small talk of the players on both sides, the time of the game finally came, Jason Green and Yao Ming stood on the middle line, although Yao Ming was 2.26 meters, 10 cm higher than Jason Green, but Yao Ming's jumping ability was not good, and he rarely won on the jump ball.

Familiar routines, Jason Green jumps the ball, Tiger Washington goes down, the teams in the league know very well the offensive route of the Los Angeles Clippers at the beginning, but there are really few that can be defended, the Houston Rockets do not have such defensive capabilities for the time being, Catino Mobley is very fast, and he follows Tiger closely, after Tiger receives the pass, he takes Mobley all the way to the basket, and the two jump at the same time in the three-second zone, but Tiger does not follow the trend to make a layup.

Paul Gasol at this time, has quickly run to the position behind Tiger, Tiger is in the air, both hands from the back of the head, handed to Paul Gasol, when Tiger and Mobley landed, Paul Gasol just jumped, put the basketball into the basket with both hands, and completed the first offense of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Houston Rockets offense, now Yao Ming is still a rookie, lacking in strength and experience, in the head-to-head confrontation with Jason Green under the basket, he can't take advantage of it at all, and when he receives a pass, he can only play around Jason Green, but Jason Green is not Shaq O'Neal, there is no huge body in the way, and he also has flexible footsteps under the basket, it is not easy for Yao Ming to avoid Jason Green.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Houston Rockets, Rudy Tomjanovic looked at the court, entangled with Jason Green Yao Ming, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the team sent away the aging Olajuwon in order to rebuild, and selected Yao Ming, for Yao Ming, Tang Shuai likes it very much, Yao Ming has a very high basketball IQ, humble personality, and a rare soft touch, but now it is really with Jason Green, the top center in the league, many of Yao Ming's weaknesses are revealed.

Looking at the players of the Los Angeles Clippers, Tang Shuai really envied Bill Fitch, Jason Green and Tiger Washington didn't need to say more, one Jermaine O'Neal and another Pau Gasol left, why did these potential players go to the Los Angeles Clippers? Looking at the Houston Rockets' lineup, they have been at the top in the last few drafts, but compared to the Los Angeles Clippers, there are too many problems.
