Chapter 32: Express Yourself
The two pairs quickly changed their jerseys and had a simple warm-up session to make sure they wouldn't get injured in the warm-up matches.
Randolph was promoted to the center forward position by Adelman, which made the big black bears very unhappy.
It's not that he can't play the center, but in the face of a center like a roller like Da Yao, he really can't bear it.
Rotten Tofu is said to be an inside player, but the official height is only 2.06 meters, but the actual height is about 2.04 meters.
You asked him to go to Yao Ming, who is 226 tall, didn't this kill him?
And if the team positions him in the center forward position, then he will definitely be a substitute player, no matter how confident Randolph is, he does not think that he has the ability to steal the starting role with Yao Ming, which is not a thing at all.
But since it is the head coach's speech, he has to pinch his nose even if he is unwilling, if his teammates fully cooperate with him, he is not unable to deal with Yao Ming, although he can't prevent it on the offensive end anyway........
As soon as Dunn, the assistant coach who was the interim referee, blew the whistle, and the little giants won the ball with a narrow lead and turned the basketball to Ron. Artest's hands.
This Artest is the famous mercy of later generations. World peace, Totoro can hardly imagine how this violent player with the title of [Beast] could change such a painful name.
He once made a name for himself by breaking Joe's ribs, and on November 9, 2004, the famous brawl at Auburn Hills Palace made him famous.
And then to the choke volute in the back, and the elbow to the beard, Artest didn't love world peace as much as he changed his name, and who knows why he could have thought of changing it to such a name.
However, it is worth mentioning that the problem child No. 1 Artest and the problem child No. 2 Randolph are not quite the same, although Artest is short-tempered, but he has never been rumored to have any discord with his teammates, although he caused trouble on the field and beat the fans, but he has never done anything with his teammates, this is the good rotten tofu classmates worth learning.
The beast handed the basketball to Brooks, and Xiao Bu dribbled to the frontcourt, although Brooks wanted to shoot the former boss of the Rockets at this position, but after seeing that the little giant was already on the right side of the free throw line and waved to him, Brooks still reluctantly hoisted the ball high to Yao Ming.
The rest of the matter is very simple, Da Yao pouted his ass and arched back twice, and then went to his most comfortable position to lightly stretch his ape arm and sent the basketball into the basket with a small hook.
Everyone on earth knows that the best way to defend Yao Ming is to not let him catch the ball in front of him, if he receives the basketball, then the package will force him to pass, otherwise when the little giant receives the ball around the free throw line, it means 2 points in hand.
But now this is an intra-team game, everyone is teammates in the trench in the future, and they don't look up and look down every day, and it would be too much if the first few goals were packed.
As for defending around the front, Randolph said that he really didn't want to defend the little giant like this.
Because it is too physically exhausting to defend in front of you, this is not like the pseudo-fans imagine that you can run in front of Yao Ming and open your arms, first of all, if you want to go around in front of the opponent, you have to ask the little giant to let you go, Da Yao is not a fool, how can he let you run in front of him without doing anything?
Besides, after going around, you have to force to resist him, so that he can't catch the ball, otherwise any point guard in the NBA can make a long pass over the top, and then people will face an empty basket, which is better than not winding.
David Lee took the hollow basketball under the basket and quickly sent it to Francis, and the five people of the away team immediately rushed towards the opponent's half like a tide, which naturally belonged to Totoro running the most cheerfully.
At that time, the guard player only ran to the three-point line, the forward player only ran to the middle line, and a heavyweight center like Da Yao had just left the three-point line on the other side, and Totoro had already run to the opponent's free throw line.
Of course, this is not to say that Totoro can run faster than Brooks, but his speed is subconsciously good, and everyone plays this game as an entertainment game, but Totoro treats it as a promotion game, which causes such a strange scene.
The experienced Francis found Totoro directly with a long pass across the half court, and the experienced pass made the Chinese very comfortable, and Totoro almost didn't adjust and stepped into the free throw line with three steps along the ball, and then deliberately performed a free throw line big loop dunk that could score at least 40 points in the dunk contest.
In this ball, My Neighbor Totoro fully showed his physical fitness perfectly, staying in the air, bouncing, flexibility and the power of dunking.
He's not a player who likes to show off, but in this game, Totoro has to show himself because even though it's just a warm-up session, it's the first game between him and his regular season teammates.
In a capitalist society like the United States, the sacred scriptures of service are always the cruel "law of the jungle", and even more so on the basketball court, only when you show your strength, other teammates will respect you in their hearts.
The players on the court looked at Totoro in a little surprise, and Adelman, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also gave a standing ovation.
It is hard for these players to imagine that this kind of top-notch bounce and explosiveness that should be unique to blacks will appear in a Chinese, and the most physical player in their team this season is not their American, but this Chinese? This is not scientific!
In a box above the arena that the Rockets players didn't know, owner Alexander and general manager Morey were lying on a leather couch there looking at the big screen with live footage from the training ground.
"This Chinese is very physically gifted, and I don't think he will be worse than Maddie in the future, so you don't want to dwell on that deal."
Alexander, the old man, comforted Morey that he didn't know about it when Adelman made the trade, and in the end it was Soft Mai himself who called him to find out about it, as the general manager who specializes in managing player operations, Morey has reason to be very angry.
"Well, Totoro can give us a huge business opportunity and is also a player who can improve the team's record."
It's just that even if he gets angry again, he won't show it in front of Alexander, he can't know about such an important deal, but the boss can't be unaware, this must be a deal that Adelman made with Alexander's permission, since it is the meaning of the top boss, Morey can only break this dumb loss and swallow it in his stomach.
However, in this regard, he can't get revenge back, and that doesn't mean Morey can't find a place elsewhere..........
