Chapter 18 The Problem of the Name of the Egg Pain

In the following games, the Nuggets were completely in a state of blindfolding, at least they began to become impatient and became more turnovers, and Totoro seized this opportunity to lead the team to a small climax, locking the game at 53:42 at halftime, and he scored 20 points, 9 assists, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks and 4 steals by himself, definitely breaking the rhythm of a team by himself.

Among them, George. Coach Karl called two timeouts, but he couldn't wake up the mentality that his players had collapsed, and in the end the loud coach gave up, anyway, this is an inconsequential summer league, and these players are not in their plan, so they can do whatever they like.

Throughout the first half, Totoro didn't get a minute's rest except for the official timeout, not because Ah Shuai deliberately the other party because he had an opinion about Totoro, but Adelman really didn't see any breathless look from the Chinese at halftime.

He has not been in contact with other Asian players except for coaching Yao Ming for half a year, and Da Yao's physical strength is really not good, and he always becomes a withering god in the first three quarters and the fourth quarter, so that the old coach thinks that the physical strength of all Asian players is not good.

However, today Totoro refreshed his new three views, letting him know that physical strength is really not determined by race, but by people.

"Coach, I can still play in the second half, why don't you let me go up and play for a while."

My Neighbor Totoro finished drinking a bottle of Gatorade sports drink and immediately said to Ah Shuai.

Because of the first time he played this kind of four-quarter game, 24 minutes of galloping, coupled with fierce confrontation defense and offense, Totoro still felt a little struggling.

But he has a strong ability to recover, which was the case before he crossed over, no matter how tired he was at first, as long as he could give him a few minutes of respite, he would be able to resurrect with full blood.

He cut a quasi-triple-double in the first half, and the blocks and steals statistics are not low, if he works hard in the second half, he may be able to get a 4-double or 5-double.

Although the summer league statistics are not as valuable as those in the preseason, it is also the capital that you can boast about in the future, isn't it?

"No, no, you better take a break in the second half, our summer league is set up to observe your ability, you have already performed well in the first half, leave the rest to the others, I have to give them some chances, right?"

The boss smiled and rejected Totoro's request, and his words made the other players in the locker room eager to try.

In just half a game, not only the Nuggets players, but even the Rockets players gave up the idea of fighting for the temporary boss of this improvised team with Chinese Americans, and they are not players at the same level at all.

As soon as he heard that the core would not appear in the afternoon, those black and hard eyes instantly emitted a green light.

Yes, as long as the strongest one is not there, they will have the opportunity to express themselves to the fullest, otherwise the pressure to play with the great god is too much, and it is okay not to have the right to distribute the ball.

Then, after halftime, Totoro covered his face with a towel in one hand and a sports drink in the other, sitting listlessly on the sidelines watching his group of temporary teammates being abused by the other party.

From 55:45 to 60:58, the opponent played a small climax of 16:7 in 6 minutes, directly beating the teammates of the Rockets to the east and west, north and south.

In the first half, Juan, who had become cringe because of Totoro's shock, began to be active, and the whole team was revitalized by the inside and outside shots, and Chinchilla's doubtful life Creza also slowly recovered, playing with his back to the back, eating on the inside, and the outside three-point blossomed one after another, which was very similar to last year's performance with a high score of 41 points.

Forbes, a little-known youngster, also began to hit three-pointers non-stop, and third backup small forward Ernie was a hundred times stronger than the starter Diawara, and his mid-range attacks helped the team quickly close the score.

As soon as the third quarter passed, the Rockets went from leading by 11 points to trailing by 7 points, and by the time the game was over, the Rockets ended the first game of the summer league with a 97-117 defeat.

After the game, although it was a heavy defeat, Adelman happily took Totoro to the post-game press conference.

There will be a press conference after every game in the NBA, and the coach will generally bring the team's big boss or second leader or the players who performed well in this game to attend the press conference.

There weren't many reporters at this press conference, because the eyes of the whole world were on Beijing at this time, but compared to the other summer league games, it was already a crowd.

Whoever makes a Chinese-American player in the NBA is really a rare animal, and even fewer perform well.

Yi Jianlian, who was blown into the sky by the media last year, can only prove that he is a mediocre substitute player after the test of time, Chinese and there is only one Comrade Da Yao who has played famous in the NBA and has not stood the test of time.

"Mr. Totoro, I'm a reporter from [US Time], and today you performed very well in the first half and left a deep impression on us. Is Battier fighting for a starting spot in the team? ”

My Neighbor Totoro thought for a moment and said, "Sean. Mr. Battier is a very good defensive player, although I have not been in contact with him, but I have heard that he is a kind, professional and charismatic player, I will do my best on the court and if the coach thinks I can start, I will start. ”

This kind of answer made the blonde female reporter very unhappy, because this kind of boiled water-like words did not attract the reader's attention at all, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?

"Hello, Mr. Totoro, I am a reporter for the Chinese sports magazine [Slam Dunk], although I am very presumptuous, but can you tell me the origin of your name, how did your parents come up with the idea of helping you choose the name Totoro?"

Another male reporter with a similar face to himself squeezed over, and the Chinese were shocked, he didn't expect that a domestic newspaper would send someone to pay attention to him now, he had expected that he would have to wait until after the regular season before a domestic reporter came to interview him, right?

Surprise is surprise, but the question he asked was so embarrassing.

My Neighbor Totoro is actually a kind of mouse with a scientific name called a woolly mouse, small and fat, with long and fluffy hair at the end of the tail, and is affectionately called Totoro by the Chinese because it looks like a chinchilla in Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons.

How can any parent in this world give their children such a painful name? You can't tell anyone else that it's just a name for the game character, and the ghost knows that he can still cross it later...........
