After dealing with the reporter and finishing the interview, Sun Ce let out a long sigh......

"Brother Yao, you didn't have any arrangements for the afternoon, did you? Would you like to join me in the studio? Sean was there too. ”

This time Yao Ming came to Sun Ce's city to play away, and Sun Ce in the opening game had no team status, this time Sun Ce is a very important member of the team, and his teammates are relatively more famous and league status than his teammates when he was on the Warriors, so he invited Yao Ming to play together.

If you are in the Warriors, you can't always pull Anthony Randolph, Morrow, Tolivier and other teammates to play with Yao Ming, Yao Ming entered the NAB to play with Francis, and at the peak of his partner was Maddy, Artest, and now he is also partnered with Anthony, Kevin Martin, etc.

"Sean is playing music with you guys too? Oh yes, I remember Sean knew the piano, are you going to play music now? Yao Ming asked.

"Yes, being interviewed is a torture, and I'm not in the mood to train right now, I can't concentrate, my head is still buzzing with camera images, and there is an orchestra event this afternoon."

"Then I'll go and have a look, there's no arrangement in the afternoon, I wanted to go back to the hotel to sleep after the interview, but I remember that you liked the interview when you opened the game, why does it seem to have changed now?" Yao Ming teased.

"Didn't I think it was new at that time, but now there are reporters interviewing every day, which delays training too much, and many interviews have been postponed."

"This ...... It's not easy, Xiaobawang, you can have a strict mentality at such a young age. Yao Ming sighed.

"Brother Yao, how have you been playing lately?" Sun Ce asked.

"It's not bad, it's easier to play than before, so many outside singles, isn't it easy......" Yao Ming himself was complaining about his current situation.

It's true that he plays very easily, there is Anthony who needs to fall into the low post, Yao Ming has fewer singles in the low post, even if he wants to play singles after losing weight, most of them are close-range turn-over jumpers in the bottom line, his height, this trick is already very incomprehensible, and it is very easy, only occasionally playing a team with a strong center, will go to the low post to chisel two.

Adelman's use of Yao Ming has also changed after having such a low-post master as Anthony, most of the time on the offensive end Yao Ming stays in the high post passing, receiving the ball and shooting, and the defensive end is stuck in the position to grab the board.

Yao Ming's passing ability is not particularly good, but the vision brought by his height and the top-level feel of the ball are still good.

played 49 games, averaging 19.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and the points and rebounds were both a new low in five seasons since the beginning of the 05-06 season, but it was the first time in his career that the assists exceeded 3.

This is the result of Bill Duffy's negotiations with the Rockets, so that Yao Ming can play a little easier, after all, Yao Ming will be 30 soon, he is such a big man, he needs to start reducing the burden, otherwise Yao Ming is likely to jump out of the contract this summer.

People can change, Yao Ming now sees the national team more motivated, sees Maddie's end, and partners with Artest to know the strength of a real playoff superstar......

Now Yao Ming is also playing a lot smarter, the regular season is handed over to Anthony, and it doesn't matter if the data drops to the level of the second or third grade, he wants to fight again in the playoffs.

After complaining about the situation he encountered, Yao Ming asked, "What about you, little overlord?" How is everything? ”

"It's easy on my side, they praise me when they win, and it's my teammates' problem when I lose."

"......" Yao Ming, why do you feel that the gap between people is so big?

While chatting, he came to the parking lot, and Yao Ming looked at Sun Ce's pickup truck...... I feel that I really went to college in the United States, and my taste for cars is very different from that of people in China.

……

……

Sun Ce drove Yao Ming to a concert hall on the riverside, where Sun Ce had also been here a few times, to the recording studio that their "Xiong Ba Tianxia" orchestra would use.

Yao Ming looked at the notice that said 'This room is only for Grizzlies players, and is not open to the public', and asked in surprise: "Grizzlies' exclusive recording studio?" Noah, you still have a recording studio here? I heard Artest say that your recording studio here is more expensive than in New York, right? ”

"Uh......" Sun Ce didn't expect Yao Ming's attention to be here...... "No, we didn't spend any money, the boss here gave us this recording studio for free, Zach is very powerful, he discussed it with the boss here, when he posted a song or video on YouTube or Pandora or Yahoo, he remarked the address here to advertise, wasn't there a poster of us at the gate of the hall just now, Zach got it......"

Sun Ce himself feels quite magical, and playing music with Randolph basically doesn't cost money.

You must know that playing music here in Memphis is the most expensive leisure project for ordinary people.

Sun Ce pushed open the door and entered, inside was a large space, there was a rest area, most of the space was full of clutter, messy, but not dirty, just too many things, all Randolph and others.

The recording booth and practice room are in the basement, mainly for sound insulation.

Take Yao Ming to the practice room in the basement.

"Wow, Noah, you're finally free today, we haven't practiced together for half a month!" Guy complained immediately when he saw Sun Ce coming.

"I still have to train to get stronger, otherwise if I don't play well, I'll have to go home and sell hot pot...... By the way, I have a friend here, and you all know ......."

Sun Ce said, Yao Ming happened to go down to the basement.

"Hi guys......"

Before Yao Ming finished greeting, Randolph, Guy, and Gasol Jr. all hugged him.

"Wow...... This is the Chinese giant! I'll tell you, Yao and I almost became teammates. "This is Guy.

"Oh my God, Noah, you actually found Yao to be our audience...... "This is Randolph.

"I'm touching, I'm getting popular, and hopefully I'll be an All-Star starter one day......" this is Gasol Jr.

The Grizzlies are so enthusiastic, Yao Ming was stunned, he thought to himself, is he so popular?

Yao Ming looked at Sun Ce and Battier who had just cut the watermelon in confusion, and Battier and Sun Ce could only smile bitterly......

……

Everyone plays in the NBA, and they are all relatively famous players, everyone knows each other, makes a fuss, and starts chatting.

"Who's going to be at the concert? Zach, is it true that you say you have more tickets to take me along? Noah, are you going? ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to train after dinner......"

Everyone except Sun Ce made an appointment with Yao Ming to go to a concert by a country pop singer in Knoxville County, next door to Memphis, who Sun Ce didn't know who.

Life is not just about basketball, and it's rare to make an appointment to go to a concert together.

But...... In the evening, when his teammates asked Yao Ming to go to the concert together, Sun Ce could only go back to the stadium to practice the Nash training method, and he couldn't relax for a day......

Sun Ce lamented that only the life of a successful star can be called the life of a star, and the life of a rookie like himself in the NBA can only be called survival in the NBA......

Just when Sun Ce silently comforted himself that "training makes me happy", the "Chinese Derby" in China was in full swing.

I don't know what the definition of giants is in China, Kevin Martin, who has averaged 20+ per game, is regarded as a giant.

The Grizzlies' four best-performing players, Sun Ce, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol Jr., all have some weird nicknames.

Guy's name is Kego...... The inner line is still called black and white double bear, Sun Ce...... Overlord Bear ......

……

On Feb. 8, the Grizzlies vs. Rockets game day arrived.

After five straight wins, the Grizzlies improved their record to 34-15 and have two games to go, heading into All-Star Weekend.

The Rockets also played 49 games before today's Chinese derby, with 31 wins and 18 losses, and are currently ranked seventh in the West, with the same record as the Trail Blazers in eighth.

When Sun Ce came to the stadium in the morning, the imperial court station was already filming with a helicopter provided by the Memphis City Hall.

Entering the arena, today's staff ...... The TV station and the team's staff are busy.

What are you doing...... Sun Ce pulled Chris Kyle, the press officer who was directing the work, and asked, "Why are there so many people?" What are you doing? It's too much of a delay in training! ”

"Today we are going to record a Chinese derby documentary with ESPN and China's Imperial Court Sports Channel, didn't you say it after the game the day before yesterday...... By the way, at that time, Noah, you went to practice, and I forgot to tell you later. Press Officer Kyle smiled and continued, "But there's no problem, when the camera work is ready, it won't delay your training." ”

"Shoot from the morning? Tactical meetings are also going to be filmed? ”

"Yes, it's the same on the away side, their training ground is also preparing, and their tactical meeting will be arranged in our stadium later......"

After explaining to Sun Ce, Kyle went to Zhang Luo to shoot again.

Sun Ce feels that Kyle, the team's press officer, is very excited today!

At this time, Sun Ce saw his veteran teammate Battier, who also came early to prepare for the game today, and complained about Kyle's performance today.

"Noah, you haven't experienced the dilemma of playing games without reporters interviewing, you won't understand how excited Chris is now, I've experienced it, eight years ago we played the season curtain call, only 5 reporters came to interview us, five reporters were invited by our team, otherwise there was no reporter, Chris has been working in the team since the team moved to Memphis, and now the team relies on you to be popular, there are reporters to interview, Chris finally has a job to do......"

As he spoke, Battier began to talk about his rookie days......

The common problem of veterans is that everything can be related to "once", and Battier also turned 31 before the start of the season, and will retire after playing three to five years at most.

Sun Ce regretted complaining to Battier, and the veteran teammate's conversation box was opened, and it was the same as Guy.

Sun Ce feels that his small forwards have chatty attributes! I don't know if it's because the position of my own team is toxic?
