Chapter 123: Rockets Attack
On the one hand, although the team has lost 3 in a row, they are all away games, and the Suns' home record is still good. In their hearts, Chen Shu is not only a powerful professional basketball player, but also the new spokesperson of Chinese kung fu! This also made them more concerned and curious about this Sun rookie! For Chen Shu, the only thing that was a little disappointed tonight was that Xu Xiao couldn't come, Xu Xiao had a seminar to attend tonight, and he couldn't come to watch the game.
The domestic CCTV5 team broadcast this game live, and the commentators of this issue are Wei Ping Bryant and host Yu Jia. There are not many matches broadcast live by CCTV5 this season, but this game has attracted a lot of attention in China, one is the past Chinese fan home team, and the other is the current Chinese fan home team. In the first class in the morning, many students in China picked up their mobile phones and secretly looked at the pictures and texts, while some college students simply skipped class and squatted in front of the TV in the cafeteria early to occupy their seats.
The audience looked at Chen Shu, who was warming up at this time, and from time to time made a better sound when Chen Shu hit the long shot, and occasionally shouted Chen Shu's name. Chen Shu, who warmed up, was also surprised by the unprecedented enthusiasm of the fans.
"Oh, it seems that Chen Shu is very popular in Phoenix! Coach Zhang, you are almost full of seats, Chen Shuwarmup has a lot of fans enthusiastically cheering! The host Yu Jia sighed.
"Yes, yes, look at the atmosphere of the stadium, when will we have such a scene in the CBA!"
“。。。” Mr. Wei Ping died in a flash, and the Yu family was speechless.
Just when Chen Shuyi's puzzled audience today changed sex, Morris came over.
"Chen! Wow, you're amazing! ”
"Huh? What a situation! ”
"Ah~oh~! That video of yours that is being discussed on the Internet now! Oops, last time, James Johnson pushed you down, but luckily I hugged you, otherwise you might have used Chinese kung fu to knock him out or injure him. I think James Johnson should be thankful to me by now! Hey. As he spoke, Morris also played a set of combination punches that he thought were very handsome, and he didn't care about Chen Shu with a black line on his face.
Hearing Morris's words, Brown, Dudley, Gortat, Frye, and others also gathered around and chatted with each other.
"Yes, Chen! You're so chic! ”
"Grab the white blade empty-handed!"
"Chen, that light leap, isn't that legendary light skill?" Gortat was excited, he liked the light skills in Chinese kung fu very much, he always wanted that with light skills, then he could kill all sides under the basket, and no center in the league would be able to jump to beat him!
"Gortat, what do you know? I heard that it's called Tai Chi~" Fry retorted!
"Hey, Chen, do you really know Chinese kung fu?"
"Ahem! Warm up, this game is important for us, you know! Just when Chen Shu was two years old, Gentry came over to stop the crowd and relieve Chen's siege. Everyone was forced by the coach's obscenity to warm up.
"Eh, Chen, is it because you practice Chinese kung fu that you are so talented?" Just when Chen Shu just wanted to continue shooting, Gentry's next words almost made Chen Shu stumble. At this time, although the surrounding teammates pretended to warm up, they actually pricked up their ears to hear what Chen Shu had to say.
At this time, Chen Shu really had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, in fact, how could these people say so godly. If his teammates asked, Chen Shu would have been perfunctory, but now that Gentry is so old, he asked so curiously, Chen Shu knew that even if he denied it at this time, they would definitely not believe it! I can only make it up:
"Well, I did practice some Chinese kung fu!"
"Huh? yes, I'll just say why are you so good! Kindness.. By the way, Chen, Chinese kung fu, do you think I can practice? Gentry asked seemingly casually, but the longing in his eyes had already betrayed him.
In an instant, Chen Shu felt countless pairs of eager eyes staring at him, Chen Shu knew that something was a big deal, and he hurriedly thought about countermeasures in his mind, and it would be embarrassing if he wore it!
"Ahem, I'm sorry, coach, Chinese kung fu has to be practiced from a very young age, and you have to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and you have to insist on not falling, but most people don't have the perseverance. This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer Chinese kung fu masters now. I just couldn't make it anymore, so I only learned a little bit about it. "Chen Shu just wants to dispel these guys' thoughts now.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Shu's words, the eagerness in everyone's eyes turned into disappointment, but it quickly disappeared, in fact, they were just thinking about it, it was best to learn, and there was nothing to lose if they couldn't learn.
"Hey, I think we still underestimated Chen Shu's influence, you look at the Suns, these players and coaches, when they were in person, they have been surrounding Chen Shu, hehe, it's terrible, Yao Ming didn't have this treatment back then!" Director Zhang exclaimed for a while.
After a long time of tossing, the game is about to begin.
Chen Shu checked the evaluation of the Rockets as usual, since Yao Ming was selected by the Rockets, the Rockets have become the home team of Chinese fans, including Chen Shu, of course! The commercial value of Yao Ming made the originally impoverished Rockets the darling of the business overnight, and the Rockets also saw Yao Ming as the hope of the team's return to glory in the future.
After that, he waited for Maddie through a trade, and Yao Ming formed the best combination in the eyes of Chinese fans and the most regrettable combination "Yao Mai Combination", and then later traded to get Artest, the Rockets finally made a difference in the 09 season, and finally broke through the first round of the playoffs, but lost to the Lakers in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals.
Since then, Tracy McGrady has been traded to the Knicks, while Yao Ming has been reimbursed for the entire season due to injury, and the Rockets' main team is carried by Aaron Brooks and Lewis Scola, and Kevin Martin was traded from the Kings in the middle of the season to become the team's first scoring point, but last season, Yao Ming retired due to injury, making the Rockets lose the advantage of the inside. And the Rockets also ranked ninth in the Western Conference for 2 consecutive years and missed the playoffs.
This season, the Rockets currently have a 10-11 record and are ninth in the West, just ahead of the 9-12 Suns. According to the current record, it is not clear that the development prospects of the Rockets this season are not clear, but seeing the lineup of the Rockets, Chen Shu feels that it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Rockets to enter the playoffs this season.
The highest rating given by the Rockets' lineup is B+, which means that the Rockets' current lineup is not as good as the Suns with Nash.
The highest rated Kevin Martin and Luis Scola are both B+, Martin, who could still watch 23 points per game last season, has a serious decline in form this season, averaging only 17 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds per game, and the shooting rate is only 41.3%, according to Chen Shu, Martin last season was at least A-level level.
As for Luis Scola, he has always been an indispensable scoring point for the Rockets' interior line, and his all-round skills, tough style of play, and passion on the court have contributed to the team's victory, and he has been praised by fans as the best interior player Yao Ming has ever partnered with in the NBA. Although the 32-year-old Scola is currently only rated B+, he still averages 15 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and is still the pillar of the Rockets' interior line.
Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic are both B-rated in the same comprehensive evaluation, these two people rated the starting point guard of the Rockets this season, although the two have different styles, but the impact on the game is basically the same, this season Lowry averaged 13 points and 6.2 assists per game, while Dragic can also get 12 points and 5.4 assists. The two of them will compete for starting point guard.
Chandler Parsons, a second-round rookie in the same year as Chen Shu, achieved a comprehensive evaluation of B - which turned out to be the same as Chen Shu's evaluation! It seems that the Rockets' second-round pick is a treasure, and Chandler Parsons quickly won the trust of the coach with his ability, and only played 6 games off the bench to replace Chase Battinger as the Rockets' starting small forward.
Counting Cornett Lee, Daleam Porter, and Jordan Hill, there are 9 people in the Rockets lineup who have reached a B rating, which is the team with the most B-level players that Chen Shu has seen so far, and it is simply a gathering place for 3 and 4 masters! The gap between the starters and the benches is very small.
There is another person in the Rockets camp who has received Chen's attention, and that is Markiff's younger brother Marcus, although the two are similar in appearance and figure. But the situation of the two can be said to be very different, Marcus only C+ is much worse than Markieff, but the talent of the two is almost the same, and the reason for the huge difference in strength is because Marcus can only sit on the cold bench in the Rockets, and he is not valued at all and has no chance to play.
Chen Shu was also wondering if it was recommended to trade this guy over and make a substitute for his brother, it didn't make sense that his brother could do it, but his twin brother couldn't.
Chen Shu didn't pay attention to the rest of the Rockets, firstly, there was no one else with strength except for blue-collar starting center Dalhambert, and secondly, the referees were already urging both sides to start the game.
