The day after tomorrow is the 15th, which is the third time the Grizzlies and the Rockets have met this season, and it is also the fourth time that Sun Ce has played against the Rockets. Flash Dance

The Grizzlies are currently 42-2 and the Rockets are 41-22 as the Grizzlies have suffered two straight losses in the first two games of their five-game winning streak, and there is currently no win-win gap between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

The Rockets, which the NBA uses to stimulate the Chinese basketball market after the Chinese New Year, have fewer games in the first half of the season, but there are many games in the month, with 18 games this month, which is more back-to-back than the Grizzlies, who played one game in 21 days last month.

However, the Grizzlies are casually scheduled as a bad team.

The same schedule, with a completely different starting point.

Today, the league has begun to warm up for the Chinese derby on the 15th.

Coincidentally, in the 2002-200 season, Yao Ming was the second on the best rookie list, and that time Yao Ming was a pity, the data was almost the same as Stoudemire, and the contribution to the team's win was not much different, both of them averaged 15 points per game, but the Rockets only got 4 wins and failed to make the playoffs, and the Suns entered the playoffs with only one game advantage of 44 wins.

With this, Stoudemire scored 428 points in the best rookie vote, beating Yao Ming with 405 points to become the best rookie, which is the smallest difference in the number of votes for the best rookie in the 21st century, and the difference in votes is smaller than that of Anthony and James.

Sun Ce is also the second favorite for this year's best rookie, with average data per game...... It's definitely far worse than Evans.

But Sun Ce's team has a better record, and the improvement of the record is after Sun Ce joined!

Although the Grizzlies had the strength to win 40 games, before Sun Ce joined, the Grizzlies only had 4 wins and 6 losses, and people certainly regarded Sun Ce as the key to initiating the Grizzlies' outbreak. Flash Dance

So it's not that there is no chance of winning the best rookie.

It's just that all the players who averaged 2,055 per game in their rookie season won the Rookie of the Year award, which is crucial.

However, regardless of whether Sun Ce can win the best rookie or not, he can be hyped by the NBA official.

Sun Ce won the best rookie, which is to "surpass" rookie Yao Ming.

didn't get it, and the probability is also second, which is the same starting point as Yao Ming.

The second-round pick has never been seen in NBA history before in his rookie season.

……

While people were talking about Pierce's height, Rondo ATMs, and the Chinese derby, Sun Ce and his teammates flew from Boston to Houston in the afternoon.

Will stay here for two nights and wait for the Rockets to come back after back-to-back road games.

The Rockets are now on their way to a four-game losing streak, having just played the third game of a four-game losing streak yesterday, and have to go to New Orleans today, and after playing the Hornets tomorrow night, they will only return the day after tomorrow morning to play the Grizzlies back-to-back.

This is undoubtedly a huge positive for the Grizzlies.

"Zach wrote a new song? What the? If you don't bring us with you, he will find Nash to record v? Sun Ce took a bite of mapo tofu that tasted a little sweet.

This taste...... It's very special, and although it's not authentic at all, it's quite interesting to eat it once in a while. 35xs

Sun Ce thinks the taste is special, but this taste is normal to Americans, or some of them think that Chinese food is like this.

For example, Guy directly picked up the plate and scooped the vegetables into the bowl with a spoon, and said: "That's right, it's too much, he said that we have no talent for dancing, and it's too much to steal the limelight from them to dance with you." ”

Guy also scooped two more spoonfuls, Chinese food is expensive! It hurts to eat a meal of meat, and today Sun Ce just took a double 20 to dinner, and he ordered a lot of dishes.

"Zach is really excessive, we despise him so much......"

At noon, Sun Ce and Guy, Gasol Jr., Jordan Jr., Cook, Haddadi and others went to Yao Restaurant to eat Western-style Chinese food, Randolph and Battier did not come together today, they wrote songs in the hotel, and the others were not interested in Chinese food, so they made an appointment to eat other things.

Chatting while eating, Sun Ce is so happy!

complained that Randolph didn't take them to play, but he was glad that he didn't record a song with him.

Let Nash develop well on Cai Moukun's path, his career is not a few years away, and he can still sing and dance happily after retiring and occasionally basketball.

Just when Sun Ce was chatting with Guy and Gasol Jr., the mobile phone rang......

A minute later...... Yao's restaurant sounded an almost: "What? Time Magazine Interview? ”

……

……

The envy, jealousy and hatred of his teammates were written on his face without any concealment.

"I can't help it! I really want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it...... Eh...... Wait, don't slap me in the face, I'll have an interview with Time Magazine in a moment......"

Back at the hotel, Sun Ce's stunned appearance was ravaged by a group of team bigwigs who were older than him.

But it's still very important.

Led by his teammates, they went together to buy a new suit, dressed up like a dog, waited for Bill Duffy to pick him up, and went to the Toyota Center together to meet with Time Magazine's exclusive reporters.

The Asian edition of Time Magazine, Asian basketball fans are more familiar with the home court of the Rockets, so it was naturally recorded at the Toyota Center.

And the issue is very tight, especially for Sun Ce, a cover was moved, or because his performance in the last eight games has triggered Asian basketball fever.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Bill Duffy rushed to the hotel, and Jordan Jr. carefully helped Sun Ce sort out the details of the suit, Sun Ce and Bill Duffy came to the Toyota Center for an interview, and Time Magazine had already contacted the Rockets to arrange the interview......

……

There are many people who have been on Time magazine in the NBA, and in the decade of the 21st century, there are Yao Ming, Kobe, James, Jordan, Nash, and Mengba...... And so on the players on.

But there are very few Chinese basketball players on Time Magazine.

Sun Ce became the third basketball player in the history of Chinese sports to appear in Time magazine!

Except for Sun Ce, only Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have done it.

In 2002, Wang Zhizhi, the first Chinese player to appear on the NBA regular season stage, was selected as the Asian hero of Time Magazine.

However, the only Chinese basketball players who became the cover were Sun Ce and Yao Ming.

And that's not the point, the point is that Sun Ce is a rookie!

In NBA history, only three players have been featured in Time magazine in their rookie seasons.

One is Tiangou who was not called Abdul-Jabbar at that time, he made history in NAA, he began to represent U in his sophomore year, led the team to win the championship in the first year, and directly created history with a wave of three consecutive championships after graduating from his senior year, becoming the first person in NAA history, helping U open a wave of seven consecutive championships that no one has ever been able to break before, known as the Celtics of NAA.

It's ironic that the Los Angeles college team has a nickname called the NAA Celtics, a nickname that U fans and players from this school never recognize.

Although there was no Abdul-Jabbar for the next four consecutive championships, the U who won three consecutive championships at that time was already known as the first dynasty of NAA.

After winning three consecutive championships, he was drafted by the Bucks with the first pick and was featured in Time magazine.

Except for Abdul-Jabbar, it was all Chinese players who could appear in Time magazine in their rookie season.

When Yao Ming was elected as the top pick, he appeared on the cover of Time Magazine's November 18, 2002 issue at the beginning of his rookie season.

This time it's Sun Ce's turn!

On the cover interview of the top international media, the content of the interview is actually not much attention.

Being on the cover of Time magazine is a very compelling thing for basketball players.

Bill Duffy took the initiative to spread the news after the interview......
