Yi Jianlian scored 5 points in a row at the beginning, showing his excellent feel and state, and the Suns did not dare to shrink the defense at will.

And after the inner line was emptied, Yao Ming began to show his might, and the old O'Neill couldn't stop it at all.

Coupled with Maddie's onslaught, the Suns' seemingly luxurious lineup on paper is completely unstoppable.

In the end, the Rockets won 117-97.

Yao Ming had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, Maddy had 26 points and 7 boards, and Billups had 7 points and 16 assists.

On the Suns' side, Stoudemire scored 22 points and 13 boards, and Yi Jianlian didn't have much to do when he defended alone, but on the offensive end, with the cooperation of his teammates, he won the first 20+ in his Rockets career, and efficiently contributed 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting, which was no worse than Stoudemire on the opposite side.

A big victory also made the media and fans much less vocal about Yi Jianlian's controversy.

And after being recognized by their teammates on the Rockets, they are also cooperating with each other.

Against the Warriors on November 22, Yi Jianlian got 15 shots again, and he hit 8 of them to score 20 points again.

In back-to-back games against the Hornets on November 23, Yi Jianlian's number of shots decreased, but he had an excellent hand, scoring 21 points again on 9-of-10 shooting.

3 consecutive games of 20+, Yi Jianlian found the instruction manual in the Rockets!

Such a performance also made the protests of those American fans less and less.

After all, the facts are the most talkative, and Yi Jianlian's continuous enthusiasm is not much, and it makes little sense for them to comment anymore.

Of course, there is a more important reason, because Christmas is just around the corner, and their focus is beginning to shift.

This is the third Christmas that Tang Tian has spent in the United States.

Every year is different, and for him, this year is a little special.

Hathaway is now earning a lot of gold and silver, and this Christmas is going to take her parents on a trip abroad, and her aunt's house will not be able to return this year.

Swift is also holding a New Year's Eve concert, and he is in the UK at this time, and he can't run away because of the Christmas war.

Scarlett offered him a graciously invitation to spend Christmas, but he politely declined.

Although he is not so particular about women, he doesn't want to be riddled with scandals all day long.

After all, his main job is an NBA coach, not a star in the entertainment industry.

But this Christmas, he doesn't seem to be lonely.

Yao Ming did not invite his teammates to Yao Restaurant again this year, but invited Tang Tian to his home with Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue to spend Christmas together.

Drifting in a foreign land, although they are all mixed well, but after all, there is no hometown taste, these Chinese get together, there is a feeling of home.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after arranging the affairs of the coaching staff, Tang Tian then drove to Yao Ming's house.

Having stayed in Houston for more than 6 years, Yao Ming is also half Houstonian, and bought a manor in the suburbs before getting married this year, which can be regarded as a temporary home here.

When Tang Tian arrived, Yao Ming and his wife Ye Li were already waiting at the door.

After getting out of the car, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian had already arrived, but to his surprise, they all brought female companions!

"Coach, let me introduce, this is my wife Ye Li, she used to be in the national team." Yao Ming greeted Tang Tian and introduced his wife by the way.

"Hello coach, Da Yao often tells me about you, saying that you usually take good care of him." Ye Li was very self-contained and greeted with a smile.

"Coach, this is my girlfriend Chen Lu." Sun Yue also half-hugged Chen Lu at this time and said.

"Hello coach." Chen Lu is very beautiful.

"Coach, I'm Jing Ling, my girlfriend of the United Arab Emirates." A very delicate girl greeted Tang Tian with a smile.

"Coach." Yi Jianlian finally stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Hello guys, they're all here so early." Tang Tian smiled and said polite words, but he was a little bitter in his heart.

He seems to be a single dog, huh?

After entering the manor, Ye Li went down to the kitchen to cook vegetables, and a group of people sat on the lawn outside.

Chen Lu and Jing Ling were making Christmas trees, and Yao Ming and Sun Yue also went over to help, leaving only Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian to sit there comfortably.

"Coach, thank you for those words in front of reporters." Yi Jianlian said.

Tang Tian retracted his gaze, knowing that Yi Jianlian was referring to the all-star vote, and said with a smile: "Don't care too much about those things, it's yours, take it with peace of mind, and if you don't get elected in the end, don't be discouraged, be normal." ”

A very Buddhist statement, Yi Jianlian nodded after listening to it.

Although his performance on the field is still stable, he does have some gains and losses in his heart.

"Ah Lian, you come over to help the handle, Lao Sun is stupid." Chen Lu shouted at this time.

"Go ahead." Hearing this, Tang Tian said with a smile.

Yi Jianlian got up and walked over.

After a while, Yao Ming walked back.

"Ali, it's okay for her to cook, and the coach can eat more tonight." Yao Ming said after sitting down.

"Well, you've got a good wife." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Hehe, the blessings accumulated in the previous life." Yao Ming said and looked at the two pairs of people who were playing around over there, and said with a smile, "They are also very blessed." ”

Tang Tian nodded.

The Christmas tree is now being made by two couples, Chen Lu just called Yi Jianlian over, her emotional intelligence is quite high.

Speaking of which, he remembered that Sun Yue was with a model named Gu Chen in 08, and he also made the "Che Zhen Door" and "Sneaking Door", but he didn't expect that he would be with Chen Lu in advance now, and those things no longer existed, for Sun Yue, it was also a mistake.

"It's time to eat~"

Tang Tian and Yao Ming chatted for a while, and Ye Li had already come out to call for dinner.

A group of people set up the Christmas tree, hung up the presents, and went to eat.

Ye Li is a native of Shanghai, and like Yao Ming's mother, she is very good at cooking Shanghai food.

A table of dishes is full of color, flavor and flavor, and it is very delicious to look at.

Thinking of Yao Ming in his previous life, he became a female Zhao Sun and Moon after retiring for two years, and it seems that there is a reason for it.

Eating delicious dishes and talking about the things they have experienced in the United States in the past year, a group of people have a common topic and are also chatting happily.

After dinner, at Chen Lu's suggestion, a group of people took out playing cards, fought landlords, and played double buckle Niu Niu Zha Jinhua, and the taste of the Chinese New Year was played.

When they got tired of playing, a group of people didn't stay idle, and ran to the grass outside to set up a few ovens directly.

Americans buy roast chicken for Christmas, and they buy fresh ingredients and grill them themselves.

"Old Sun, you are so stupid!"

"Allian, hurry up, don't burn!"

"Oops, I wish I forgot to add salt!"

……

A group of people were completely silent to play, and this year's Christmas, they, a few strangers, really felt like they were going home for the New Year.
