Chapter 46, The Beginning of the War.

Yao Ming's influence on the Rockets is mainly commercial, and in terms of honors, the record is naturally inferior to Olajuwon's group.

But in terms of commercial value, Chinese Yao Ming can be said to be one of the most important signings in the history of rockets.

It can also be said that the rocket is lucky, and when Yao Ming landed in the NBA, it also happened to be when the NBA was developing the Chinese market, but the market is not something you can open if you want to.

You must know that long before a large number of NBA games entered China, although some fans in China began to pay attention to the NBA, the overall number was still small.

The second is that most of the fans are still fans of the Bulls, Lakers, and Green Kai, and the rest have been divided by various stars.

The Rockets will have no stars and no history. There is no Yao Ming to open up a fart.

But after getting Yao Ming, the whole story is different.

Rocket was lucky enough to tie it to one of the most famous athletes in Chinese history.

In China, whether you are a fan or not, from ninety-nine to just go, it can be said that no one does not know Yao Ming.

When Yao Ming is mentioned, he will inevitably mention rockets, even if some people don't know about rockets, as long as they talk about the team where Yao Ming plays, everyone will know.

This kind of brand effect and advertising effect can be said to have broken through the scope of basketball fans.

In addition, Yao Ming has cultivated a group of Rocket fans for the Rockets in China, and it is really a team that takes the Rockets as his own.

A large number of fans have been using the Rockets as their home team.

Even when the Rockets lineup is at its worst, the Rockets can still maintain a very high popularity in China.

It's incredible to have so many loyal fans in the absence of a local feeling.

Naturally, Yao Ming's teammates are also well known to Chinese fans! Almost every role player can be recognized when he goes to China to do activities.

Hayes, Battier, Landry, Scola ~

These people are not very well-known in the United States, but they are well-known in China.

Xue Ding's trailblazer is going through the treatment of rockets during the Yao Ming period.

With Xue Ding's outstanding performance, the attention in China has become more and more high, and his teammates have also received attention.

If you have popularity, you will be rich.

…………

After the three of them arrived at the stadium, they sat in the VIP celebrity area at the front.

The surrounding environment is very noisy, and the atmosphere of Americans' sports-loving atmosphere is really different from that in China.

There is a sawing ceremony in the home of the lumberjacks, which is very feeling.

Xue Ding also looked at the atmosphere of the stadium with interest.

Soccer is a different experience than basketball.

"Roy, Rudy, why do you like watching football games?" Xue Ding asked the two sideways.

"Xue, don't you think that the 11-man football game is more of a test of team cooperation and the coach's arrangement? I love this kind of teamwork competition! I also like the joy of winning a game through the proper command of the team. ”

Xue Ding looked at Roy, who was excited when he talked about the team.

"Hmm."

Xue Ding couldn't help but nodded.

Xue Ding understands Roy, Roy in his previous life became a coach after retiring.

What Roy said, Xue Ding in his previous life was quite moved.

"I want to be a coach until everybody forgets I was a player!"

Roy said this sentence contains too much bitterness because of the injury and helplessness!

Fernandez on the side looked at Xue Ding and said: "Xue, I am a Spaniard, in my country, football is more popular than basketball, and watching football is a very common entertainment in our country." We're going to play the World Cup next year and I'm hoping to win the World Cup again! ”

Speaking of the World Cup, Xue Ding also has some impressions.

"Don't worry, your Spain has a good chance of winning the championship next year!"

Xue Ding knew that the 2010 World Cup was the first time Spain won the Hercules Cup.

"Xue, you also know, it seems that you also watch the game, haha, I don't know if Spain will have a chance to meet the Chinese team and overthrow you when the time comes."

Fernandez showed a strange smile, the terrier of Chinese football is known all over the world~

"I didn't have a chance to meet, Rudy, still don't talk about football, hey, how is your table tennis in Spain?"

Xue Ding also smiled strangely.

"Ping Pong? Haha, let's talk about football again. ”

"No, no, table tennis is actually more fun."

Watching the two argue.

"Haha!" Roy laughed too.

As for basketball?

Naturally, both of them avoided it.

The Chinese team lost to Spain by 1 point in the Olympic Games last year, although there was a gap, but the Chinese team at that time did not have Xue Ding.

What the Chinese team lacks is just a defender!

Now there is Xue Ding.

Fernandez also doesn't think that Spain will definitely win against China with Xue Ding!

At least he couldn't think of anyone in his country who could resist Xue Ding's barbaric style of play!

There is no need to argue that basketball is your old profession, and you will see the real chapter on the court when the time comes.

After a while, Xue Ding and Fernandez gave up talking about the football team and the table tennis team for the sake of friendship!!

The Portland Timbers have a good market and are one of the strongest teams in American football, and they attract a lot of Trail Blazers fans.

In Portland, soccer and basketball are not in conflict.

It's common for a lot of hardcore sports fans to like the Trailblazers and Lumberjacks together.

Many fans around saw that the three of them were very friendly and greeted each other and wanted to take a group photo.

The game was also a pleasure to watch.....

Xue Ding felt that this was a good place for a date, and the atmosphere was good.

If you have a girl, you can watch the game together.

.............................

November 6.

The Portland Trail Blazers host the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs!

Rose Garden Arena.

Many home fans at the scene held up the rhetoric of killing the Spurs and reaching the top of the West!

The reason is that the Lakers finally lost for the first time yesterday.

Kobe Bryant scored 45 points, but he couldn't stop the Lakers from losing Charlotte!

The Bobcats became the Lakers' nemesis!

The 4-1 Trail Blazers only need to win this game to make it to the top of the West.

It's been a long time since the Trail Blazers sat in first place in the West.

Spurs currently have a 2-2 record and are off to a mediocre start.

For Spurs, though, the start doesn't say much, and they're often slow to heat up.

The San Antonio Spurs are perhaps the most consistent and outstanding team of the decade.

Agree with it or not, but this is a "dynasty".

The Spurs have a great coach, and Popovich has overhauled Larry Brown's set and built a Spurs-style style of pragmatic and rigorous play.

The Spurs have one of the best uniforms in the league, which allows them to pick up a lot of treasure from the draft and give Popovich the right pieces of the puzzle in time.

Then the Spurs also have a number of outstanding players, such as Parker and Ginobili, as well as many tough guys who have been attracted to the city's fame......

But most importantly, they have Tim Duncan.

The big man, who was drafted by the Spurs in 1997 with the No. 1 pick, has become one of the greatest power forwards in history.

His stats aren't flashy, but he's a mainstay on both ends of the floor, and he's what makes the Spurs what makes them this one.

However, after 12 years of hard work, Duncan admits that his career is nearing the end of his career, and that last season's first-round playoff exit was the price of the team's decay.

In order to make the most of Duncan's last days, Spurs owner Holt threw out a lot of dollars in the summer of 2009 in exchange for Richard Jefferson and McDyce, etc., so that the Spurs have a new look and re-entered the ranks of championship contenders!!
