"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Bai Xiaofei was carrying a backpack, alone, wearing a black basketball uniform, standing under the huge doorpost at the gate of the Toyota Center Arena in Houston, although it was only at the door, Bai Xiaofei still heard the sound of a slow and rapid beating of basketball from the arena.

Bai Xiaofei pursed his lips, then strode in, opened the door, and walked in.

Toyota Center is the home of the Houston Rockets, capable of accommodating 18,300 fans sitting on the sidelines to watch the game, the Rockets' previous home is the Compaq Center, on October 6, 2003, the year after Yao Ming entered the NBA, the Rockets moved their home stadium to the Toyota Center, where the luxury facilities, the number of private rooms, and the degree of luxury are better than the New Orleans Arena, the home of the Hornets! The 360-degree screen on the stadium is the largest three-dimensional screen in the United States!

On the court, there are two unusually tall players playing against each other, both of them are already sweating, one of the players has an amazing height, short shirt, wide and square face is an extremely dignified expression, and more importantly, this player is a yellow-skinned, black-haired Oriental! Yes, he is Yao Ming!

And the person opposite Yao Ming has more than two one-zero heights, the same short hair, but black skin, a dry and thin face, revealing high cheekbones and deep eyes, a handful of beard under his nose, the black sleeveless training uniform on his upper body has been soaked with sweat, the lower body is black shorts, and he wears an elbow pad on his left hand, Bai Xiaofei recognizes him, and it is impossible for all Rocket fans not to know him, he is Hakim Olajuwon. Although he has been away from the arena for many years, his figure is still very good, and his strong muscles do not seem to have a trace of fat, Bai Xiaofei sat quietly next to the player's tunnel, quietly watching the confrontation between Yao Ming and Olajuwon.

I saw Yao Ming take the ball and hit Olajuwon with his back, the latter put his right hand on Yao Ming's waist, and it could be seen that Olajuwon did not exert too much strength, Yao Ming just resisted from behind, Olajuwon took a big step back, Yao Ming turned forward and sent the basketball firmly into the basket with his signature right hook.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The basketball went through the net, fell to the floor and bounced again.

Olajuwon bent down, picked up the basketball, slapped it a few times, and said to Yao Ming, "Yao, I assert that your hook hand is now blocked by no one in the league," Olajuwon said with a smile, "Now you, you don't need any feints at all, you just need strength and a strong body, and you can get unimpeded in the restricted area." ”

Yao Ming didn't speak, but just kicked his left foot hard. There was a very uncomfortable expression on his face, all of this was seen by Olajuwon, put down the basketball, walked to Yao Ming's side, patted Yao Ming's shoulder and said, "Yao, when you entered the league, I planned two paths for you, one is a dexterous center, small in weight, but flexible, just like Sean Bradley, which can make your career longer, but you won't have a great career, and the second is a strong center inside, it turns out that you have become a superstar in the NBA, But the sheer weight can weigh on your joints, your career will be cut short by frequent injuries, and you told me with great firmness, I chose the second one, do you regret the path you chose now? ”

Yao Ming looked at Olajuwang, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said, "I don't regret it!" I will never regret it, even if there is only one season of glory, it is better than ten seasons of obscurity, at that time, I was looking forward to becoming a strong man, not a clown who was ravaged by the strong and forced to laugh! ”

Yao Ming's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Bai Xiaofei's heart hard!

Olajuwon nodded approvingly, and then said with concern, "Yao, I suggest that you only play half of the games this season, and don't participate in any kind of professional competition after the season, and take good care of your feet, so that maybe you will play for a few more seasons." ”

Yao Ming smiled bitterly, then shook his head slightly, turned around and picked up the basketball on the ground in his hand, and said, "I don't want to rest, but I really can't, the team left Maddie last year in exchange for Martin, although Martin is also a very good player, but he is not the top five or even top ten scoring guards in the league, and the team's recent record is not very ideal. So every game is very important for us, every game we have to give 12 per cent of the fighting spirit to fight against the opponent, how can I, as the leader of the team, abandon everyone, abandon the team, to get some rest. ”

"You'll have up to six months off at the end of the season, so I advise you to stop playing professionally and think about your body." Olajuwon looked at Yao Ming's broad face and said, "The short rest is for a more powerful outbreak tomorrow." ”

Yao Ming patted the ball, shook his head again, and said, "No, big dream, China is different from the United States, every Chinese must contribute their own strength to China, this is the mission, it is the responsibility, and the glory, except for injuries, there is no interface, this season is over, there is also the Stakovic Cup, as well as the World Championships, the Asian Championships, these games need me, just like the Rockets need me now, at this time, I can't back down, I can hold my head high, raise the Chinese flag, and rush forward hard!" ”

Seeing that Yao Ming could not move, Olajuwon could only shake his head helplessly, as an American, Olajuwon never understood the pride and glory of Chinese fighting for the country.

Yao Ming patted the basketball and said to Olajuwon, "Big Dream, let's not talk about this, let's play another ball." ”

Olajuwon nodded and said, "This time with the ball. ”

Yao Ming held the ball in both hands at his waist, Olajuwon blocked in front of Yao Ming, Yao Ming used the basketball to continuously dangle to move the offensive space, and suddenly Yao Ming dribbled a step forward, Olajuwon stepped forward to jam out Yao Ming's offensive line, between which Yao Ming did not break through, but suddenly turned around after dribbling a step before, raised the basketball high above his head with both hands, and shot!

Yao Ming's backward turn shot has become Yao Ming's unique stunt like his big hook hand, Yao Ming is tall, and his shooting posture is also a straight arm, that is to say, the arm is almost not bent, and only relies on the strength of the wrist to throw the ball, so Yao Ming's shooting point is very high, and Yao Ming's back turn also has a little back, almost no one can block his shot, and what is even more terrifying is that Yao Ming also has a soft hand comparable to the league's top point guards, so that the defender can't parry it at all!

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The basketball bounced on the floor, bounced all the way, and rolled down at Bai Xiaofei's feet.

Olajuwon saw the young man who had been sitting on the sidelines.

Bai Xiaofei took off his backpack, picked up the basketball, and slowly walked to the center of the court.

Olajuwang looked at Bai Xiaofei, suddenly as if he remembered something, turned his head to look at Yao Ming, the corner of Yao Ming's mouth smiled lightly, and said, "Da Meng, you don't have to wonder, I asked him to come, he is also from the East, and I am from the same country, he has very good physical fitness and basketball talent, this time he came to the United States, I hope you can teach him well." ”

Olajuwon suddenly laughed and said to Yao Ming, "Yao, you know me very well, if you weren't an NBA-level player and didn't have enough talent and basketball IQ, I wouldn't have taught." ”

Of course, Yao Ming chuckled, "I think he'll be the type you like." ”

Bai Xiaofei walked up to Yao Ming and Olajuwang, presented the basketball with both hands, and said respectfully, "Hello, senior! My name is Bai Xiaofei, I am from China, I am your fan, I grew up watching your games, this time I see you alive, I am really excited, I hope you can teach me some center skills, I will be grateful! ”

Although Bai Xiaofei was very excited in his heart, he was saying these words without a trace of emotion, and his language was stiff and not fluent.

Olajuwang smiled and looked at Yao Ming, and said, "Only you can teach these words." ”

Yao Ming smiled and said nothing.

"Okay," Olajuwon picked up the basketball and patted it, the basketball hit the floor with a "bang" sound, Olajuwon said, "White, take out your housekeeping skills, and match me with five balls!" ”

"What! Five balls against you! ”

Bai Xiaofei was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would just meet Olajuwang and be about to see the real chapter on the field!

Yao Ming retreated to the back of the basket, Bai Xiaofei held the ball at the top of the three-point arc, Olajuwon spread his hands, somehow, Bai Xiaofei saw Olajuwon defending, and he unconsciously had a sense of offensive oppression.

He actually played against the legendary star of the Rockets, Olajuwon!

Bai Xiaofei never dreamed that such a plot would happen to him.

"What are you still doing, let's start quickly!" Yao Ming stood aside and said.

Yao Ming's words brought the dreamlike Bai Xiaofei back to reality, Bai Xiaofei's heart was crossed, no matter what, anyway, he couldn't get the old man's contract, no matter who was standing in front of him now, as long as he played his own characteristics!

Bai Xiaofei frowned, and there was an inexplicable momentum on his body, which was an aura that defenders did not dare to underestimate! Yao Ming's expression became serious, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen Bai Xiaofei have this kind of momentum!

"Here we go!"

Bai Xiaofei shouted!

“OK！”

Olajuwon's eyes were only staring at the basketball in Bai Xiaofei's hand, and Bai Xiaofei decided to use his most familiar back for the first attack! I saw Bai Xiaofei take the ball and pause slightly, and immediately turned around and aimed his butt at Olajuwon, who put his right hand on Bai Xiaofei's waist, Bai Xiaofei just wanted to exert force backwards, and a pain like stabbing an iron rod suddenly rose on his waist and eyes!

Bai Xiaofei bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and then pushed it back hard, unexpectedly, the force on his waist just now that was equal to Bai Xiaofei disappeared in an instant, and Bai Xiaofei easily crushed into the inner line, and scored under the basket.

Bai Xiaofei didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Olajuwon's gourd, perhaps, an emperor superstar like Olajuwon, against himself, he didn't bother to use all his strength at all.

Bai Xiaofei turned around, but saw Olajuwon picking up the basketball without looking back, shooting himself outside the three-point line, standing still, and saying to Bai Xiaofei, "Come and defend!" It's my turn! ”

Bai Xiaofei was like an iron tower between Olajuwon and the basket, and Olajuwon secretly said in his heart, "It looks a little interesting." ”

Olajuwang held the ball with his legs open, and suddenly he rushed to the right side of the basket with an arrow step, although Bai Xiaofei was heavy, his speed was not slow, he was just sticking to Olajuwon, who knew that the latter suddenly rushed to the basket, and suddenly the basketball flew up, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly jumped and blocked!

Feints!

Olajuwon hung the basketball in the air with one hand in his right hand, and deceived the young Bai Xiaofei with his signature false dangling, and Bai Xiaofei, who was flying in the air, could only watch Olajuwon easily score a layup with a low hand.
