Losing the game against the Lakers was a big blow to the Rockets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The loss to the Timberwolves was justified by the fact that the Wolves retained all of the core players of last season's Western Conference runner-up roster. And what about the Lakers? Last season's F4 was only Kobe Bryant left, and the Rockets lost the game without Maddy and no excuse to lose. It's not just about losing, it's about losing dignity and morale.

The pressure of losing was evident in Yao Ming, who last season was a man of talking and laughing and chatting with Chinese journalists after the game. And in the last few games, he has always been silent, avoiding the media with a serious face.

Yuanfei also noticed that before the Great Wall trio of Rockets got together, they had a general relationship, and they couldn't talk about making friends. But it is difficult to meet the old people in a foreign country, and it is even more rare to be far away from the motherland on the other side of the ocean, and to be able to work with several compatriots. Especially after last season's struggle, the friendship of the Chinese foursome has developed well, and Yao Ming has become a link among the four. These days, Da Yao has become boring, Dazhi and Da Bus are not active characters, and the four of them don't even talk together.

"You don't take the initiative, so I have to take the initiative." Yuan Fei thought like this, and found a reason to ask the three giants to book a Chinese restaurant for a hometown meal. The three of them didn't refuse, maybe they wanted to relax and relax because of the pressure of losing, and they all went to the banquet happily.

"To be honest, we've been getting together less lately. I've just taken over some of the team's affairs and have a lot to deal with. In addition, I have just entered college and need to be familiar with the environment, and I hope my three brothers will understand more. Yuan Fei took the lead in raising the teacup in his hand: "I am not old enough to drink the American emperor, and the three of them will have a competition tomorrow, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast a glass first." If we have the opportunity to go back to China and have a big drink together, we won't get drunk or go home! ”

"Haha, Yuanfei is really refreshing." Munch's personality has typical Mongolian characteristics, and he is very bold and very righteous. He began: "It really scared us that your family background was exposed in the offseason. We're afraid that the relationship will become rusty because of this. ”

"How so? The owner of the team is my father. I just know a little bit about basketball and do some operational matters. In terms of job title, I am still a data analyst as before. Our working relationship hasn't changed, and our relationship hasn't changed. Yuanfei continued to raise his glass.

"It's hard to think back to the loneliness I felt in Dallas and Los Angeles." Dazhi couldn't help but think of the embarrassing past in the past, "There are too many problems just because of the language barrier. Now that I'm here, I'm very happy to be able to work with three Chinese. So I cherish this friendship and hope that our friendship will last forever. ”

"That's right! I wish you a long friendship! Yao Ming also agreed.

"Brother Ming has become so little to talk these days. Is it too much pressure to lose? Yuanfei asked.

"Haha, I don't think he's used to eating hamburgers. It would be nice to eat more hometown food. Da Ba said to Da Yao happily: "I heard that your family is going to open a Chinese restaurant, how are the preparations?" ”

"Actually, it's not my family that opened the store, it's my parents and their friends who jointly opened the store. My family didn't contribute anything, but I was the image spokesperson. It is still being renovated and is estimated to be in operation early next year. Yao Ming replied honestly: "But when it comes to troubles, it's really because of losing, hey!" ”

(This is the famous Yao restaurant, located in the bustling neighborhood of Houston next to Chinatown.) Yao opened its doors in February 2005 and quickly became a legendary brand in the American restaurant industry.)

"Everybody wants to win. But don't worry too much if you lose. Dazhi comforted.

"He's just too serious and responsible." The bus said: "No one says that we are not the two of us when we lose, anyway, we are role players." He's a star at home, and this pressure is like how you felt when you lost the game in Bayi. ”

"I didn't have such a bad fire when I lost in Shanghai." Yao Ming looked depressed: "There are no outsiders here, I'll talk to you about my heart." Actually, I'm competing with Maddie, and I'm competing with myself. I wondered, why can't we win when Maddie is absent? In terms of individual performance, I scored 27 points against the Wolves and 34 against the Lakers, which still didn't win. I just can't figure it out. ”

"If you were in China, the coach would definitely say that you can't just focus on scoring for yourself, you have to lead your teammates to score." Dazhi Road.

"Brother Dazhi, you are making a blind move. How can the inside line compare with the outside line, it is too embarrassing to ask Brother Ming to send four or five assists per game. Yuanfei said dissatisfiedly.

"yes, you see Maddie suddenly passes, and the outside line shoots the phone and comes out. Why don't I have this ability? Yao Ming shook his head in annoyance.

"Brother Ming, you are too arrogant. Maddie can do a lot of things you can't, but you can also do things he can't. Since the introduction of the three-second rule for joint defense and defense, center players have indeed been weakened on the offensive end, but they are still irreplaceable on the defensive end. Your massive body, your in-basket deterrence is still the Rocket's most valuable asset. Yuan Fei hurriedly explained.

(Rule Explained: Defending three seconds is a league-specific rule that began in the 01-02 season.) Except for grabbing rebounds, the defending player must not be in the three-second zone and does not mark the offensive player for more than three seconds, otherwise he will be judged a violation and the offensive player will be made one free throw. Due to the existence of three seconds of defense, the NBA's joint defense is affected by this, and there is usually only 3-2 joint defense)

"Yuanfei has a point. Our center forward is not the same as it was back then, but it has not declined. The bus agrees.

"I have to make a suggestion to the three of you, especially Brother Ming." Yuan Fei continued: "Even the language needs to be strengthened, especially on the court. The center is the heart of the team's defense, even if it can't lead the whole team to attack. When defending, be sure to command loudly to remind your teammates. Even All-Stars like Maddie or Billups have to direct them to fill in the defense. ”

"You're right, but sometimes I think about it, but the English words get stuck in my mouth." Dazhi scratched his head, he was very worried about the language.

Yao Ming also nodded: "It's like grabbing something with a mechanical hand, although you can also hold it, it's always half a beat slower than your own hand." But on the pitch half a beat slower would be fatal. ”

"So in training, you have to talk more and shout more. You've played with Hakim, and he's a terrible Englishman, but look at how he directs everyone to defend. Yuanfei did not relax his requirements at all, "Usually if you are proficient, you can only say it on the field." Let's not forget that the regular season is all about giving us time to find problems. When the problem is solved, the playoffs will be the real battleground. ”

Yao Ming's eyes lit up and said, "It seems that today's conversation is very helpful, I seem to have found a direction." His face, which had been cold for a long time, finally bloomed with a classic emoji-like smile.
