The turmoil of Yao Ming's ticket king soon disappeared in the cold treatment of the rocket.

After all, the All-Star starters have been decided, and in the West, the starting five are Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Yao Ming.

In the East, the starting five are Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace.

As the head coach of the All-Star, Greg Popovich soon announced the All-Star bench for the Western Conference, which are Shaquille O'Neal, Derk Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Gary Payton, Steve Francis, Pejastojakovic and Steve Nash.

In the East, Byron Scott also picked the Eastern All-Star bench lineup, which is Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashburn, Paul Pierce, Anthony Walker, Andre Miller, Zaunas Ilguskas and Ray Allen.

……

The All-Star has nothing to do with Qiao Hai, but the Rockets have two people selected for the main game, Yao Ming starts, and Steve Francis comes off the bench.

Elsewhere, Carlos Boozer was named to the rookie competition, while Rafals was named to the newly created skills competition.

The rocket has a total of four people to participate, and the scene is obviously insufficient.

There is a week left until the All-Star Weekend, and before the All-Star Weekend, the Rockets have three games to play, one for the Timberwolves, one for the Cavaliers, and one for the Jazz.

The All-Star Weekend is just around the corner, and Qiao Hai has also taken the opportunity to arrange his schedule during the All-Star Weekend.

Because Qiao Hai didn't have anything to do during this All-Star Weekend, Qiao Hai decided to only go to Atlanta to watch the All-Star Game on the last day of the All-Star Game, which would be Yao Ming's debut in the All-Star Game.

The rest of the time, he will fly to New York to attend the NBA expansion bidding meeting, which is in the final stages and will soon be voted on.

Qiao Hai is naturally going to appear at this time, and he wants to add weight to the Robert Johnson consortium.

In addition, Qiao Hai thought about the meeting, and didn't think of any other arrangements, so the schedule was set, going to New York for two days, Atlanta on the last day, and then returning to Houston with the team to prepare for the Grizzlies!

……

On Feb. 3, the Rockets faced the Timberwolves again.

Playing away, the Timberwolves held their breath and wanted revenge, and the Rockets played tenaciously, and the two teams played a defensive battle.

Of course, since it is a defensive battle, the rocket is naturally passive.

The Timberwolves blocked the Rockets' mid-to-long-range offense, and the Rockets' offensive state at other positions was not very good, and the Rockets were behind at halftime.

In the second half, the Timberwolves held the lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Rockets lost 89-95 on the road.

Kevin Garnett had a quasi-triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, while on the Rockets' side, Steve Francis scored a game-high 31 points and had six assists.

Ron Artest scored 17 points, Yao Ming didn't have a good performance, only 12 points, and 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Yao Ming's poor performance in a game was quickly spewed by major media in North America.

The Rockets, for their part, still didn't respond.

……

Then, on February 5, the Rockets faced the Cavaliers.

In order to cope with the recent public opinion turmoil, Qiao Hai chose to concentrate the ball on Yao Ming in this game, and Yao Ming broke out.

Facing the inside combination of Zarunas Irgeskas and Desaganadeop, Yao Ming was full of power, and continued to play the opponent with his feet on the offensive end, and Hakim Olajuwon's special training for Yao Ming finally achieved a certain effect.

In the whole game, Yao Ming scored a game-high 34 points, and had 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, almost single-handedly breaking down the Cavaliers' defense.

Relying on Yao Ming's outburst, the Rocket also won the game, and the score in the final game was 112105, and it was still difficult for the Rocket to win.

Yao Ming broke out, and the public opinion environment eased a lot, but there are still many media reporters who do not recognize Yao Ming's personal performance, because in this game, the opponent of the Rockets is 9-40, the first in the East.

The opponent is too weak, so the persuasiveness of the sample is not high.

……

On Feb. 6, the Rockets returned home to back-to-back games against the Jazz.

In this game, Qiao Hai once again let Yao Ming get the majority of the team's ball, Yao Ming was also very powerful, broke out again, and scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in the whole game.

Coupled with Steve Francis' crushing of John Stockton, the Rockets eventually beat the Jazz 106103 at home, making it two wins in a row before the All-Star weekend.

Yao Ming has two consecutive 30 pluses, coupled with his outburst after the New Year, and in the public opinion environment, there are finally some more remarks in support of Yao Ming.

……

Report by the Houston Documentary –

"After the All-Star, China Yao's average points per game has broken 20 points, rebounds and blocks have not changed much, but relying on the increase in scores, China Yao has proven that he has the ability to become a super center with an average of 20+10+2 per game, you know, this is only China's debut season."

"Even Shaquille O'Neal, who averaged just four points per game in his rookie season, has shown that he has the potential to match Shaquille O'Neal......"

Hoop Sports also spoke at this time: "The Rockets' record is similar to that of the Lakers, Yao Ming's individual performance is also rising, and his vote for the crown, on the whole, is not too much of a problem." ”

With the easing of the public opinion environment, Qiao Hai couldn't help it, and took advantage of the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, and his free time surged.

Qiao Hai made a short personal remark in Hoop's personal space.

"All-stars are selected as stars, what is a star? The stars who are supported by the public and voted for are the stars, Yao is elected by the fans, and the fans vote for him as the king of all-stars, then he is the king of all-stars! ”

"If the fans don't vote for it, then simply change the name of All-Star Weekend, you can change the name, NBA Pure Power Competition!"

……

Qiao Hai's remarks were not intense, but after being reprinted by some fans, they entered the Hoop forum and immediately sparked a heated discussion.

Qiao Hai didn't pay attention to these discussions, he just turned off the computer, packed his luggage, and made a phone call to Vancouver.

"Old Han, are you free on February 9th? Let's go to Atlanta to watch an All-Star game and support our Celestial Dynasty players. ”

"Great! I'll have someone book you a flight! ”

Qiao Hai happily made a phone call to David Falck, first asked David Falck to book a ticket to New York, then a ticket from New York to Atlanta, and finally a ticket from Vancouver to Atlanta.

Then, with his luggage, he took the nearest flight to New York......
