Chapter 163: Dragonborn Cave Arena
Of course, the effect of this bowl of chicken soup for the soul of Sun Gui is not very good, how can young people nowadays have the kung fu to drink his chicken soup, it is always easier to say than to do, the fast-paced life in real life has long made today's young people become "pragmatic", and few people will be stupid to believe in their childhood ideals.
It's like the male fans in front of the TV are unmoved by Totoro's life experience and experience, they prefer to watch those Totoro hats or explosive highlights repeatedly, female fans in front of the TV are more interested in Totoro's life experience, but they just feel that Totoro is pitiful, and they want to go to the scene now to kiss and hug Totoro high, as for the big truth that they can get from Totoro's predicament to success, this is better not to say it and put it in their hearts........
"Okay, now let's surprise the fans, in the second half we invited Yao Ming of the Rockets to come to our live broadcast seat, and Da Yao will join us to explain the game in the second half of the Rookie Challenge, now, let's invite Yao Ming to break the news to us about him and Totoro in the Rockets team."
Zhang's words made the Chinese fans in front of the TV excited, especially those female fans, and the fire of gossip in their hearts was even more blazing, hoping to hear the usual unknown stories about Totoro from Da Yao.
It's just that My Neighbor Totoro pouted slightly in his heart, these fans are also naïve, thinking that they can break the news about their private life by relying on Yao Ming, is this possible? A discerning person will know at a glance that this is a gimmick or not.
Yao Ming attended this All-Star Weekend live event, My Neighbor Totoro knew about it about a week ago, and about Yao Ming's words discussing himself in the live broadcast seat, someone has already written the script, how can there be so many impromptu interviews in the world? The things that everyone usually believes to be true are actually just routines.
"I'm sure fans are curious to know how you guys started with that pre-season deal with the Knicks, trading superstar Maddie for problem player Randolph, sparse David Lee and a No. 6 rookie Totoro who hasn't proven himself in the NCAA, and even though the deal is now decided to be rated S-tier, you were also criticized a lot at the time, right?"
But since there is a script, they will definitely choose these topics that fans are more interested in or more sensitive, anyway, how to answer has been discussed in advance, no matter how taboo the topic is, they are not afraid of goofs at this time.
"That's right, when this deal first started, there was a lot of criticism from the outside world, there were small protests in the city of Houston, and there were many people on my forum and Weibo who criticized me personally on this matter, some of them said that it was because of the discord between me and Maddie that forced him away, and some people said that it was because Totoro was also Chinese, and I facilitated this deal because I wanted to turn Houston into a Chinese territory."
Yao Ming coughed and said, his words are quite polite, what kind of criticism is this, it is obviously unbearable abuse,
"But we still made this deal steadfastly, not that Maddie can't do it, he is still the omnipotent man who 35.13 seconds, or that I fancy Totoro as a Chinese and want to treat Totoro as a cronie and turn the Rockets into my own team."
"It's the potential that Totoro has shown in the college league that really attracted me and the team's top management, his stable shooting, strong body, and stable mental quality and desire to win in the face of big games, these are things that others can't teach, we unanimously decided to bet on Totoro on the future of the Rockets, Satoshi so far, our bet is a success."
'I never thought he would be where he is in six months, his improvement is obvious, he's the kind of player who can make games easy, we don't see the ceiling of his future now, but everyone knows that he has a very bright future.'
Well, Yao Ming's words can be regarded as a player's best praise and affirmation of another player, and at the same time, Yao Ming's words can also be regarded as establishing Totoro's status on official occasions, and now the Rockets are his Totoro instead of his little giant's team, Yao Ming officially announced that he has stepped back to the second line, and Totoro has become the new core of the Rockets.
"Thank you Da Yao for solving a fan's long-standing doubts for us, and at the same time, I also want to thank you here for the Rockets and Chinese fans, because you insisted on bringing Totoro to the Rockets, and now the Rockets have the hope of competing for the championship, and Chinese fans also see the hope of basketball rising."
Director Zhang thanked Yao Ming, the little giant waved his hand again and again, and the two of them did a lot of tricks in front of the screen, and they could go to make Hollywood movies for a long time.
"Then I have prepared a second question here, which is also very concerned by Rocket fans now, I heard that the former owner of the Rockets has been peddling the team recently, which is something we all know, but now the specific stage is not known to the outside, and a lot of gossip outside is not accurate, can you reveal it to me here as a Rockets player?"
Director Sun asked the second question, and Yao Ming immediately pretended to frown.
"Okay, this news logically speaking, as a player, I can't reveal it to you, but since Director Zhang has already asked so, the fans also want to know, and the transfer plan is coming to an end, so I'll reveal a small part to you!"
The little giant groaned for a while, as if those who didn't know thought how much determination he had made.
"Now Wanda Group has completed the handover with Mr. Alexander, and the team has officially become our Chinese NBA parent team, but our new owner said that the team will not change the team name, the team's home stadium, and the team uniform logo in a short period of time.
Yao Ming's words made many people a little disappointed, and at the same time, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Their disappointment is that the Chinese group finally has its own NBA team, and they all hope that the team's home stadium can be established in Chinese mainland, but this is also impossible, the United States and China have at least one day to fly, the time difference is at least 10 hours, and the NBA cannot allow the Rockets to move to such a distant place.
As for the relief of Houston's Rockets fans, at least the team they support didn't move out of Seattle like the Thunder, and that was enough for them.
"But here I can give you a piece of information, in addition to the acquisition of the Rockets, the new consortium also bought back the sponsorship rights of the Toyota Center, after the All-Star Weekend, our home stadium is not called the Toyota Center, but officially renamed [Dragonborn Cave Arena], the board of directors of our new consortium likes Totoro very much, and he has also become the first NBA player in NBA history to name the arena after his nickname!"
Yao Ming's message is very powerful, at least 1/3 of My Neighbor Totoro's loyal fans jumped up in front of the TV or computer, and 1/30 of them smashed the computer or mobile phone or TV in front of them because they were too excited.
Naming one's home arena with the title of a player is something that has not been encountered in the history of the NBA for nearly half a century, and you say that the little emperor is a veritable pearl of the Cavaliers, right? James didn't get that kind of treatment either, and you say Jordan is the Bulls' long-standing sign, right? The Bulls didn't think of the Flyers as the name of their home arena!
And My Neighbor Totoro has obviously raised the player's low position to a new level, and since then, getting a stake in the team is no longer the highest honor a player can receive.
Totoro as a beneficiary, of course, he was the first to get the news from the new new consortium, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he first heard about it, but I don't know if his brain circuit is different from ordinary people, his second reaction is not to happily announce this news through his own Weibo or Facebook Twitter to show off, but sad face.
Because he thought that as long as the news came about him, he would most likely become the target of envy and hatred of other players in the league again, in other words, he would become the public enemy of the players in the whole league, including those emperors and superstars who had been famous for a long time.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the sophomores really changed the three-light policy of chasing and intercepting Totoro in the first half, and they were guarded by Durant alone, and the other players performed their duties and stuck to their opponents, watching their own one-acre three-point land.
My neighbor totoro can't figure out the situation, he is not a roundworm in the stomach of the second-grade team, and this first ball from the first grade is particularly crucial, he doesn't play the other balls well, but this goal must be scored, otherwise as the backward side, the entire second half will be affected by morale.
In the case of not knowing whether the opponent really puts himself to score or fake his own score, the safest way for Totoro is to turn sideways and play back singles!
"Hehe, Totoro's back-to-back singles were actually taught by me and Mutombo, and before Scola went to the Rockets, Argentine Diamonds also taught Totoro the fantasy footsteps of both hands."
Yao Ming, who was sitting in the anchor seat, couldn't help but laugh when he watched Totoro dribble near the bottom corner and lean on his shoulder against Durant step by step.
"My Neighbor Totoro is a very smart guy, as long as it is related to basketball, he can learn almost everything, but because the Rockets have my relationship with Randolph, now he doesn't need to show every skill he knows to the fans, but what I want to express is that My Neighbor Totoro's arsenal is really sufficient, and he is the first player I have seen in the league who can play 1-5 positions!"
As soon as Yao Ming's words fell, Totoro turned around, passed Durant at least 5 seconds behind his back, and scored with a dunk before Horford turned around.
Back-to-back singles is an inside skill that isn't too difficult to master, but it's not that easy to master.
It is divided into two kinds, one is to win by brute force, then you don't need any skills, just like O'Neill or Howard can use yourself as a bulldozer to chisel into it, and the other is to win through technology, which is difficult to learn.
The best who can knead the small skills of inside footsteps, virtual and real turns, and back singles is Olajuwon, who combines these techniques into a single technique "big dream foot" or "dream foot", followed by the second best is the Argentine diamond Luisquea, his gorgeous dream footwork can also shake the defender dizzy, and the other ones are Gasol, Duncan, Garnett and Yao Ming, but this kind of technology is enough for them to dominate the league.
My Neighbor Totoro is now a little worse at the use of "Big Dream Footsteps", almost at the next level of Yao Ming, but if compared with pure interior players, his interior skills are a little off the table, but if he just does this with the league's small forwards, his back singles are too powerful.
Just like in the bottom-line battle between Totoro and Durant this time, Totoro's weight was already dominant, and it took a lot of effort for Du Schoolbag to resist Totoro's power, but when the wrestling angle reached the average, Totoro suddenly withdrew and helped him play a turn, which caught Durant off guard.
Originally, the strength was congenitally insufficient, and the other party is still playing technical work with you, and Du Schoolbag now suddenly has the illusion that Totoro is actually more difficult to handle than James.
The first ball Totoro hit the left back, the second ball Totoro hit the right back, and the third ball Totoro broke through the top of the left arc and made a pull-up jump shot.
After just three balls, he noticed a change in his defensive strategy.
is not blindly defending himself like in the first half, but letting himself score, well, the laissez-faire referred to here refers to Du's schoolbag defending himself, and Totoro has completely ignored Durant's defense.
This kind of defensive policy is a bit contradictory to Totoro's original intention, because then he can't brush up on assists and rebounds, and he can't blindly score with the ball alone, and several other friends on the court still have to play.
But that doesn't mean he can't break the game, his selflessness in the first half gave him at least 10 shots or so now, he can do it alone in these rounds of attack, and other teammates will also cooperate with him, and what he has to do is to play in these ten attacks, use his personal ability to stop the second-year team, and force them to return to the defensive strategy of the first half!
Dry three-point pulling, inside grabbing, stop-and-go jump shots, small tossing .........
My Neighbor Totoro used almost all of his offensive skills, and then scored 14 points in three minutes and knocked out all the people in New Orleans Arena.
