"Rose is really a good player."

On the morning of January 11, 2009, after finishing the team's routine training in the morning, Zhu Fangyu sighed from the bottom of her heart.

And Wang Shipeng next to him also nodded silently.

Coming to the NBA, it's a temptation you can't resist.

is a huge temptation for any player, even if Zhu Fangyu, who has always rejected the Rockets before, for him, it is not unthinkable to come to the NBA.

It's that he knows very well that if he can't make a name for himself in the NBA, there is basically no point in coming here.

He is no longer a young player with unlimited potential, and his starting position in the national team has been replaced by Zhou Peng.

Because in the new national team with Yes as the core, his future potential and plasticity are no longer enough to grow with Yes.

Just like Yao Ming was the core at the beginning, they were the people who were chosen to grow up with Yao Ming.

Whether they have grown enough to match Yao Ming, that goes without saying.

Their potential has been exhausted in the process of growing up with Yao Ming, and they don't have the plasticity to adapt to Ye Si's style.

At their current age, the more important thing is not to come to the NBA to chase their dreams but actually sit on the cold bench, now they need to play games, maintain their physical condition and game status, although the regular time is not the player Ye Si needs, but as long as they can maintain their strength, as long as the national team has not appeared to replace their players, they can always use their own characteristics to find a suitable position in the national team.

And this is the reason why he has always rejected the Rockets, for the 2008 Olympics, he could not sit on the cold bench in the Rockets, and then for the 2010 World Championships, he could not sit on the cold bench in the Rockets.

Now every player of the Chinese men's national basketball team has a dream, that is, to become the first Grand Slam team in international basketball to win the world's three major cups.

Olympic games!

World Championships!

FIBA Diamond Cup!

These three tournaments are the three major world tournaments of FIBA.

Now the Chinese men's basketball team is the champion of the 2008 Olympic Games and the champion of the 2008 Diamond Cup, just one short of the championship of the World Championships.

The teams that have come closest to a Grand Slam before have been the United States and Argentina.

The United States and Argentina are both Olympic and World champions, but both miss the Diamond Cup.

The U.S. team disdains to participate in the Diamond Cup and does not recognize the Diamond Cup, while Argentina attaches great importance to the Diamond Cup, but it always fails to win the championship, and every time it comes to participate, it is either second or third.

Now the Diamond Cup has been canceled because the U.S. team never sends anyone.

That is to say, in the history of world basketball, if you want to win the Grand Slam of the World Series, only the three Diamond Cup champion teams of China, Australia and Serbia and Montenegro can win the Grand Slam, and Serbia and Montenegro have now become Montenegro and Serbia, so only these four teams have the opportunity to win the three Grand Slams.

But when will Australia win the Olympic title and the World Championships with Sevilla and Montenegro respectively?

The Chinese team is different, the Chinese team is only short of the World Championships!

In the United States, in the NBA, no one cares what a Grand Slam is or what is not a Grand Slam.

But internationally, in China, the Grand Slam of a project is very important.

The highest personal achievement of China's national table tennis player is to see if he has won a Grand Slam.

The possibility of Chinese men's basketball players becoming Grand Slam winners in international basketball tournaments was unthinkable before.

This is a historic opportunity.

No one wants to fall in the face of this historic opportunity, and no one wants to pass by such a historic opportunity.

Especially men's basketball players like him and Wang Shipeng, who have won the Diamond Cup and the Olympics.

Not to mention him Zhu Fangyu, even Wang Zhizhi, who was extremely eager to return to the NBA to prove himself, endured the pain and refused a lot of invitations, and finally chose to stay in the Bayi team, train hard, work hard to maintain the game state, work hard to keep his position in the national team, work hard to get on the stage of the 2010 World Championships, and work hard to realize the highest dream as a basketball player.

This is the choice of these veterans of the national team, and the game and form come first.

Young people like Chen Jianghua, Zhou Peng, and Ding Jinhui are working hard in the CBA according to the guidance they got from Ye Si in the national team, and they are working hard to adapt to the needs of the NBA in the CBA, and are ready to enter the NBA and improve in the NBA at any time.

After all, the 2010 World Championships will be a completely different competition from the 2008 Olympic Games, they are the 2008 Olympic champions, but their champions are completely brought out by Ye Si and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and others, and they also want to leave their own strong names in history.

This is a very normal idea for young people, for example, Chen Jianghua now has the idea and courage to pull Sun Yue's starting position down.

This is the vitality of young people, they are not afraid of anyone except Ye Si, in order to be teammates with Ye Si in the starter, they can even think of pulling Sun Yue Yi Jianlian down.

But these veterans don't have so much ambition, what NBA dream, this dream is of course important, but it is definitely not comparable to the World Championships and the Grand Slam of the three major cups!

Although he doesn't want to admit it, they are indeed dry bones in the grave, and the older people are, the more conservative they are, Wang Zhizhi chose the dream of the national team between the two dreams.

And they just have the best of both worlds.

Coming to the bull is a very tempting choice, and it is also a choice that may be sweet or poisonous.

Judging from the Bulls' almost half-season NBA career, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng both feel that this choice is sweet and not poison.

Although they were not the Bulls' starters in this half season, they had a very special position on the team.

They are the henchmen of the team's head coach, Scott Brooks, and they are also Rose's esteemed Yes teammates and mentors to Rose.

It is precisely because of his identity as a Yes teammate that no matter how much the team's boss Ben Wallace dislikes them, he does not dare to bully them, at most he excludes them.

Similarly, NBA veterans such as Antoine Walker, Ricky Davis, Mark Blunt and so on did not dare to bully them, after all, they are Yes teammates, and they are not former teammates, but current national team teammates!

There are ten or twenty minutes of playing time in the game every day, and Ross can be taught how to shoot basketball, and by the way, Ross, who is very interested in Chinese, can be taught to speak Chinese.

It's the perfect NBA life.

Not only did they maintain the state of the game, but also because the NBA's trainers are really strong, and their team status is very high, the trainers have to treat them as the core to develop a special training plan for them, which is much stronger than the CBA, CBA, they are also the core, but is the CBA's training level comparable to the NBA?

So their physical condition has also been very well strengthened, and the originally good confrontation has become even better.

To be able to have such a perfect NBA life, in addition to the assistant coach of the national team, Scott Brooks, and the current leading player of the Bulls, Rose, we have to thank Xiao Yezi.

In the past, when they were in China and the national team, they really didn't expect Xiao Yezi's influence in the NBA to be so great.

If you want to say that those young people in the NBA will be afraid of Little Leaf, forget it.

Ben Wallace, Antoine Walker, Ricky Davis, Mark Blunt, these people are all afraid of the influence of Little Leaf!

Especially Ben Wallace, they can clearly feel the incomparably hated for them from Ben Wallace, but they don't dare to do anything to them!

Let Ben Wallace admit it, this is really incredible.

And Ricky Davis, who originally hated them very much, in this year's Christmas War, after Xiao Yezi scored 100 points in front of James, his attitude towards them even changed from being very disgusted to being willing to talk and laugh with them.

"If you have a chance tonight, you must thank Xiao Yezi."

"It's time to thank Xiao Yezi."

Wang Shipeng nodded.

He feels that not only he and Wang Shipeng need to thank Xiao Yezi, but in the current NBA, every Chinese player should thank Xiao Yezi, and every player who enters the NBA in the future also needs to thank Xiao Yezi.

The reason why the Chinese team and Chinese basketball have become so thriving and looking better and better is not because of the appearance of Yao Ming, after Yao Ming appeared for so many years, there is still only one Yao Ming in Chinese basketball, and at most there is one more Yi Jianlian.

But after Ye Si appeared, the entire Chinese basketball really showed a hundred flowers blooming, whether it was reporters, experts or ordinary players with no talent, everyone benefited.

Even such a thing as an international basketball Grand Slam can be imagined.

No, not dare to imagine, but dare to pursue!

On January 11, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics started another road trip to the East after facing the Rockets and Timberwolves in a row, and the first away game was against the Chicago Bulls, who are now seventh in the East with 16 wins and 20 losses.

The SuperSonics now have a 23-14 record, and after the Timberwolves defeated the Bucks on January 10, the Seattle SuperSonics have now fallen to eighth place in the West, and the Houston Rockets, who are ninth in the West and are now 22-16, are not far behind.

Although the Seattle SuperSonics schedule is relatively easy after this Eastern Conference trip, being threatened by the Rockets to fall out of the top eight is a completely different concept from being dropped out of the top eight by the Timberwolves.

When they were threatened by the Timberwolves to fall out of the top eight before, although they were nervous, most people were willing to believe that the Timberwolves could not threaten the supersounds, after all, the Timberwolves had always been the image of the weak team and the image of the fish belly.

But the Rockets are different, the Rockets were the first team in the history of the regular season with a 73-9 record last season, and the first team in the history of hard power in the league!

Even if this team does have a lot of problems right now, no one will believe that they will always have problems.

Sooner or later, the Rockets will rise, and the Seattle SuperSonics look more like the team that has been in trouble until Durant didn't pay.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, sooner or later, the superSonics will be squeezed out of the top eight by the Rockets, either in the last few games or in a game in the near future.

In fact, not only the coconut powder and the coconut powder media have such worries, in fact, even the supersonic players themselves have such worries, and their one-and-a-half-win ahead of the Rockets is really not safe!

They feel safe with a win ahead of the Timberwolves, but they feel like Alexander is a win ahead of the Rockets by a half or even two or three wins.

In fact, the Timberwolves are much better than the Rockets this season.

At the United Center Arena in Chicago, when Yees and Seattle SuperSonics players played, they were greeted with applause from Chicago fans.

"Chicago fans are thanking Yes and the SuperSonics for avenging them in the Christmas game!"

"According to a Chicago Tribune survey, Yes temporarily overtook Jordan to become Chicago's most popular NBA player when this year's Christmas game was accepted!"

Nima's Chicago is now the most popular player!

Is bullying someone who bullied someone now unable to hold a knife or what?

Look at the young Supersonic Nine on TV, and then look down at your beer belly.

Jordan was stunned.

Lately, he's been dreaming about what it would be like to be a rival to Yes.

Pity......

I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born......

Recently, he has even envied Kobe Bryant and James in his dreams......

"Yes, Bulls fans are too enthusiastic, right?"

"yes, I'm a little uncomfortable."

When he played, he was so welcomed by the Chicago fans, the supersonic players were surprised and surprised, and Yes was also a little surprised.

"Five pairs!"

"Five pairs!"

"Five pairs!"

Listening to the strange cheers of the Bulls fans, Ye Si certainly knew what these Bulls fans meant.

In this year's Christmas game, he played 104+10+5+7+8 against James.

This is a 5x5 data, and 5x5 is also known as a small five-double.

And the 5x5 that Ye Si played in the Christmas game can be said to be the biggest 5x5 in NBA history.

It's just that the biggest 5X5 is not really a five-pair either.

Chicago fans hope he can make a big five-double, a real five-double, in front of James.

Listening to the cheers of the Chicago Bulls fans, Yes was surprised but didn't feel anything.

And James's face in front of the TV was a little dark.

Although because of Wade's friendship and selflessness, he has come out of the shadows, regained his strength, and recently has been checking and filling in the gaps and trying to take his basketball path to the limit in the next meeting between the SuperSonics and the Heat, that is, to really let himself reach the extreme of this road, and become the real him in 2016, instead of the 2016 when the last game was still flawed and imperfect.

Wade told him that it doesn't matter if this path doesn't work, it's a big deal that we can change the way, and our team can afford to change course like this.

However, he was not reconciled!

After walking the basketball road for so many years, he said that he would change it, and he was beaten by Yes to change it, he was unwilling!

Five pairs!

Five pairs is indeed a good way to wash away 100 points of shame!

James' hands were clenched, his lips were biting, and his eyes were flickering.
