Soon, Lee Forest flew to Houston.

This is the first time Li has come to this American city that even Chinese fans are very familiar with.

Since Yao Ming joined the Houston Rockets in 2002 as the top pick, the Rockets have become the home team of Chinese fans.

Whether it's the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, or the San Antonio Spurs, the number of fans is far less than that of the Houston Rockets.

After Yao Ming joined the Rockets, all the players on the Rockets team were well known to Chinese fans.

This year's rocket can be described as a disaster.

After several seasons of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets are desperate to break out of that cycle this season.

Judging from the roster structure, their roster this year is also the strongest in recent seasons, so the Rockets are full of confidence in breaking this first-round curse.

At the beginning of the season, the Rockets traded the Kings for Ron Artest.

In terms of starters, the five players are Maddie with an annual salary of 19.6 million, Yao Ming with 15.1 million, Artest with 7.4 million, Alstom with 4.9 million and Scola with 3.1 million.

The main rotation of substitutes is 6.3 million Battier, 1.9 million Luther Hyde, 1.9 million Brent Barry, 1.9 million Chuck Hayes and 1 million Aaron Brooks.

Overall, their salary space is reasonable.

The core of the Big Three seems to have given them the courage to compete for that top honour this season.

But!

T-MAC only played 35 games at the start of the season before announcing the season reimbursement.

……

Yao Ming played this year (averaging 33.6 minutes per game and playing 76 games, averaging 19.6 points, 54.8% shooting and 86.6% free throws, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 3.1 turnovers and 3.3 fouls) data, although not the most gorgeous career, but the strongest in his career, in key moments, the fourth quarter, maturity and offensive and defensive system to the team's contribution to the best performance of his career, It also really established the identity of the first person in the team.

In addition to the T-MAC reimbursement, Artest's state is basically the same as the data, Battier has regressed slightly, and Lowry, the small steel cannon that has just been traded, has steadily improved, and Scola, Landry, and Weaver have all played their best career performances.

And Hai Ye, Uncle and Old Barry can also bring contributions in a timely manner.

Compared to the past few years, the Rockets have gained a good team full of energy and cohesion.

They have a reason to complete the 50+ record for three consecutive years this year, but unfortunately, without a healthy T-TAC, the Rockets are not strong enough to win a championship, even if they are a strong team with high morale.

Therefore, this year's rocket is quite tragic.

If the T-MAC season isn't reimbursed, then the Rockets could go even further.

…………

But at this time, Li Forest has no time to worry about the future of the rocket, and now the Thunder is also in a deep situation.

Sure enough, last night the Thunder challenged the Phoenix Suns away and lost 92-105.

Today they also continue to take on the Denver Nuggets on the road.

The Nuggets returned home in the last game in Ohlahoma and became the background board for Li Forest to cut 70+ crazy, and the Nuggets' 4 tattooed tough guys were beaten by Li Forest, making their tattooed tough guy image even more of a joke.

Since being beaten by Lee Forest, when JR, Martin, Birdman and others go to an away game, they are greeted with all kinds of ridicule.

Therefore, with such a "blood feud", the Thunder go to their plateau home field, and the chances of survival are very slim, after all, they are the real second in the west!! And not the penultimate like the Thunder.

After losing to the Phoenix Suns last night, the Thunder have an 11-36 record and have won only one of their last 15 games, ranking second to last in the West...

This season, the addition of Li Forest did not have too much impact on the team's record.

The overall strength of the Thunder is still the bottom of the West, but although the record is not good, everyone can feel the horror of the future Thunder.

The core trio composed of Durant, Westbrook, and Lee Forest has eliminated strong teams such as the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Heat, and such a strong record makes everyone curious about their future.

Durant's scoring average per game is a steady 25+ contribution.

Li Forest erupted, with that kind of self-respecting momentum.

Russell Westbrook's continued progress has been punctuated by the passion of anti-human kinematics.

This makes all their opponents dare not underestimate them, and they are very careful when arranging their tactics, and not as casual as dealing with bad teams such as the Clippers and Kings.

Because they know that as long as the Thunder and the three young people go crazy together, they can destroy any team.

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

Lee, who was waiting at the hotel for the team to fly over after the game against the Denver Nuggets, received a strange phone call.

After Li Forest answered the phone.

A familiar voice rang out from the other end.

"Hello, is it the forest? I'm Yao Ming, and I took your mobile phone number from Zhang Tao. ”

This was the first time Li Forest had heard Yao Ming's voice after the crossing, which made Li Forest a little flattered.

"Hey, yes, I'm Li Linlin, Brother Yao, hello!"

"I heard Zhang Tao say that you have arrived in Houston, do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner! ”

"Yes, where are you? I'm going to find you! ”

"You come to Yao Restaurant, I'll wait for you here."

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

Yao Restaurant is located at 9755 Wisheimer Street, the busiest high-end restaurant street in the West District of Houston, USA.

It's a 15-minute drive from Houston's Chinatown, and is not a restaurant rumored to be owned by Yao Ming's parents, Yao Zhiyuan, Fang Fengdi, and his friends.

The total investment of Yao Restaurant reached more than 1.5 million US dollars, but the Yao family did not pay a penny, only the word "Yao", and the money was invested by Wang Dashen, Fu Jilin and Yu Di.

Yao Ming himself once said: "'Yao Restaurant' has nothing to do with me, that Yao is my father's Yao, not my Yao." ”

Most of the guests at Yao Restaurant come to Yao Restaurant, and even before it opens, major mainstream media in the United States and domestic media in China begin to publicize and report that high-level domestic delegations to the United States usually come to Yao Restaurant to sit down and have a meal.

Yao Ming also often dined here with his teammates, not only the Rockets players often came to party, but also other NBA team players and celebrities, and Yao's restaurant became a household name in Houston.

As soon as Li Forest entered Yao's restaurant, he was led to a private room by the waiter.

Open the door.

The box was very bright and had a big window that was very well lit.

As soon as Yao Ming saw Li Forest coming in, he immediately stood up and walked over.

Li Linlin: This is the first time he has met Yao Ming.

Li Linlin, who is 194 tall, saw Yao Ming, who was 221, walking over, Li Linlin could only look up and feel an inexplicable pressure!

"Hello, Forest!"

Yao Ming stretched out his hand very enthusiastically.

"Well, Brother Yao, hello!"

Although Li Forest was not familiar with Yao Ming before.

But out of respect for Yao Ming, Li Linlin still brought the suffix "brother", Yao Ming's contributions and achievements to Chinese basketball are enough to make Li Linlin admire.

Yao Ming very enthusiastically pulled the "shy" Li Linlin to sit down.

Soon, the waiter left.

There were two people left in the box.

Both of them are Chinese, and they each showed a polite remark, but later found that both sides felt awkward, and they were not polite.

Yao Ming is not an introvert, he speaks with cold humor, and he is the only Chinese player who can mix in the NBA, which also shows that he has a high emotional intelligence.

Li Forest has been in the United States for three years, and he is used to talking and communicating directly with the old beauties, and out of politeness, he also pretended to be polite for a while, but then he couldn't hold it back, and the chat slowly let go.

The two gradually became acquainted, Yao Ming, as a representative of the Chinese, as long as it was a Chinese player who came to play in the NBA, whether it was Yi Jianlian or Sun Yue, he would invite them to eat, chat, and contact feelings.

This is a kind of care he takes as a big brother to the younger brother in China.

..........

"Forest, you're awesome, you're a lot tougher than me in your rookie season. 70 points per game, I can't get that score in the NBA. ”

70 points has become Li Linlin's label.

It's like when you think of the number 81, all basketball fans think of nagging.

Li Linlin said a little self-deprecatingly: "Hey, how can I compare with Brother Yao, it's just one game, look at the record, the Rockets are fifth in the West, the Thunder is second-to-last, when you play in the playoffs, I go home to fish!" ”

"Haha, don't worry, the future of the Thunder can be seen by everyone, talented, I can conclude that as long as the three of you are not injured, you can rush to the playoffs by the year after next at the latest."

Yao Ming's vision is also very good, the potential of the Thunder Sanshao is by no means an ordinary star player, if the three of them can play at the same time, the championship will definitely have a show.

"I can't wait for the year after!"

Li Forest turned his head, looked at the window and said!

Yao Ming looked at Li Linlin, who was quite ambitious, and did not open his mouth to attack, and he also regarded Li Linlin as a rookie, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

The Rockets are considered a strong team, but how long has it been since they made it to the second round? This shows the cruelty of the West.

Even if the Thunder is full of talent, it has not yet realized the potential, and no matter how bold Yao Ming is, it is impossible to make a prediction that the Thunder will be able to compete for the championship next year.

In fact, before Li Forest crossed, the Thunder only rushed into the playoffs in the 09-10 season, and they were far from winning the championship.

But after Li Forest crossed over, under his stimulation, Westbrook and Durant's progress is very obvious, coupled with his own explosive attributes at any time, Li Forest is confident that he will try to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers' Western supremacy next year.

As long as the Lakers are passed, it may be easier to face the Eastern Conference champions.

"Well, then I'm looking forward to playing you guys in the playoffs."

Yao Ming looked at Li Linlin, who was very confident, and encouraged him.

"Forest, if we had known about your presence last year, it would have been a shame for us to play against Spain at the Olympics."

In the second game of the Olympic Games against world champion Spain, the Chinese team played a wonderful game.

They also led Spain by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Point guard Liu Weiwei was mighty, facing Spain's main guard Calderón and hope star Rubio, played 34 minutes, scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 three-pointers.

Calderón scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting in 23 minutes, and Rubio scored one point on 0-of-4 shooting in 21 minutes, but unfortunately this game that can be written in men's basketball history fell short.

The main reason for the loss was that the Chinese team's substitute defender Chen Jianghua carried the ball too much and made too many mistakes, and was cut off by the opponent several times because he did not see the random pass of the person clearly.

Another is that the head coach Younas did not have a reasonable allocation of players' playing time in the fourth quarter, Wang Zhizhi has been playing well in the fourth quarter, with a good hand and better than Yao Ming in terms of physical strength.

It turns out that Chen Jianghua, the defender who passes the ball to Yao Ming, is still too tender, he will only rely on speed to break through, and he will not pass the ball at all, he can score wonderful goals, but he can't provide simple assists.

If Li Forest is in the 08 Olympics, the Chinese team may be more than the top 8.

Yao Ming fell into the memory.

looked at Yao Ming, who was lost in thought.

Li Forest opened his mouth and said: "Brother Yao, there are not so many ifs, the future Chinese team can still break the fate of the top 8, look at me, hehe." ”

Li Forest did not take Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue in his eyes.

After Yao Ming retires, the national team will inevitably revolve around him as a super defender.

Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue have proven in the future that they will not be able to lead the men's basketball team to achieve higher achievements than Yao Ming in the field of the national team, so Li Linlin no longer needs to set self-limits and become the boss of the national team, he has this confidence!

"Hmm."

Yao Ming didn't say much about the national team, and Li Linlin's current achievements are enough to make him the core of the national team.

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

After Li Forest finished eating with Yao Ming.

On the night he returned to the hotel, he went to Denver to challenge the Nuggets' Thunder, and unsurprisingly suffered a fiasco.

The plateau home court made the Thunder team at a loss, Iverson and Anthony teamed up to score 85 points, and gave the Thunder a big defeat with a huge score of 95-123.

The Nuggets have avenged their blood revenge in the Russian city, and their only regret is that Li Forest is not in the team, and Li Forest is still banned because of the players who beat them, so they are very unhappy.

That night, the whole Thunder team, which had finished the game with the stubborn gold, rushed to Houston overnight.

Li Linlin has been waiting at the hotel for a long time.

Because it was late at night, Li Forest just hurriedly greeted Westbrook, Durant, Brooks and others who had unkind faces.

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

The next day, the whole team trained.

Although Westbrook was in a bad mood, after seeing Li Forest, he came over to say hello.

"Li, I heard that you have returned to China, did you have fun?"

After all, across the Pacific Ocean, Westbrook didn't pay attention to the scandal and big news of Forest Lee.

"No, Russell, I'm having a bad time because the team lost! That's how you repay me? ”

Li Linlin couldn't wait to smack Westbrook.

Paralyzed, Lao Tzu's pants are all off, it's all you who delay my sexual interest.

Faced with Li Linlin's questioning, Westbrook lowered his head embarrassedly.

Li Forest's fight and brawl and ban can be regarded as helping all of them who stormed the locker room to resist all the responsibility, but during his suspension, the team lost one after another, making Westbrook a little unable to explain to Li Forest.

"Lee, you can't blame Russell, I'm also responsible! It's my problem. ”

Durant also walked over and said to Li Linlin.

Li Forest glanced at Durant and did not speak.

Durant's initiative to take responsibility made Li Forest look up to him.

So losing isn't entirely a bad thing.

At least the relationship between Westbrook, Durant and Li Forest has eased, the team has a problem, and the three of them know that they have to huddle together to keep warm, and they can't stop endless internal friction.

"Forget it, we win the next game, it's time to end the losing streak! The fans can no longer be disappointed. ”

Li Forest said to the two! Lee Forest is the only player on the Thunder team who dares to scare both at the same time, in addition to Brooks.

“OK。”

Shuangshao was a little unconfident by the losing streak, and the return of Li Forest also gave them hope again.

After all, Li scored 70 points before the ban, which is a height that neither of them can reach.

The Thunder's locker room situation is a bit weird right now.

Very similar to Wei Shu Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

The three bosses of Forest-Lee, Westbrook, and Durant seem to be unconvinced, and the old birds that led to the Thunder are also divided into three factions.

First, Durant has always been the boss of the team. But he has a weak personality, is not good at talking, and is a bit disdainful of garbage players, so he doesn't have many supporters, mainly Nick Collisson, Wilkins, Atkinson and a few other old birds.

The second group, Li Forest is one of the new bosses, next season's team with the highest salary, salary also means that the team attaches great importance to him, Li Forest has the most fans, of course, also because there are many Chinese, the team relied on Li Forest to win half of the 11 wins, and then scored 70 points, after beating the stubborn 4 people, no one in the team regards him as the team's third anymore, and the main brothers who support him are Johan Pedro, newcomer Rose, international player Kostic, garbage player Le Vel and other rotation and fringe players, Jeff Green is also very close to Li Forest because of his strong combat power.

The third group, Westbrook seems to be born with a boss, a strong personality, and controls the ball, is the team's big, and the data of role players depends on him to help brush up, so although the data is not as bright as Li Forest and Durant, it is supported by more old birds, except for Li Forest and Durant, the rest are with him.

In this wave of consecutive defeats, the first three games were mainly lost in the state of double less, and in the next few games, the state of double less has improved, and they lost in the overall strength gap of the team.

So, they have plenty of rest time for this game, and with the return of a strong player like Forest-Lee, everyone is hoping for a win in Houston.

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

"CCTV, CCTV, this is the NBA regular season for you, and this game is the Chinese derby that we have been waiting for for a long time. The Ohlahoma City Thunder, led by Chinese player Li Linlin, challenged Yao Ming's Houston Rockets away. Lee was suspended for six games after scoring 70 points in his last game, and this is his first game back to see if he can lead the Thunder to end the losing streak. ”
