"Hold the grass? It's really me!! It's really me!! ”

Although it seems to outsiders that it is normal for Totoro to select Tegibson, after all, they are comrades-in-arms who have been fighting for a year, and there are still interests between NBA teams, but the teams in college are all about brotherhood, so the brothers and comrades in college are generally more iron than the superficial brotherhood in the team.

But what outsiders don't know is that when Totoro was admitted to the University of Southern California by exam, and when he signed up to enter the school basketball team, most of them looked down on each other, whether it was skin color, or the ball skills at that time, Totoro was like a newcomer who had never received professional training in basketball, isn't it, their reading grades are scum, but they all relied on basketball to get an invitation to the university and went straight up, and Totoro fell down, he relied on himself to be admitted and then joined from the inside, Isn't there a big difference between the two?

My Neighbor Totoro NCAA has been in a slump for a while, and many times it has something to do with their teammates, but now that I look back, Gibson only regrets it, it's really thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, if Gibson had read China, then he would definitely know a classic saying, don't bully young people to be poor!

In the envious eyes of everyone, Tejpson excitedly walked up to the draft table, borrowed a hat with the rocket icon from David Stern and put it on, and Totoro had already returned to his seat with a blank face.

Tygibson is a very strong player, his age is the oldest in this draft, he was born in June 85, he is also a real 25 years old this year, compared with other rookies, his potential does not seem to be much bigger, like him has been fighting in the NCAA for 4 years, the height he can reach is already clear, but on the other hand, he has been polishing his experience, combat power and adaptability in college for so long will be strong in those young rookies, And although his ceiling is not as high as that of other rookies, his lower ceiling is more stable than theirs.

And Tay Gipson dares to fight, although there are not many independent offensive means, but the defensive section is full of passion, in the face of all those players who want to take off in the Rocket penalty area, whether they can stop him or not, he will jump and try to block, which is enough for Totoro and the Rockets, height is Tejpson's defect, although his official height is 2.06 meters, but a discerning person knows at a glance that he is falsely reporting his height, Totoro, a small forward, is half a head taller than him, Gibson's actual height is at most 2.03 meters.

But this is not a big problem, the most important thing for the Rockets inside is height, Yao Ming 2.26 meters, Totoro 2.11 meters, Tyson Chandler 2.16 meters, no matter whether Gibson is the starter or a substitute power forward, the Rocket's interior height will definitely not be short, what the Rockets need is his tireless large-scale movement to help defend and supplement, and use his passion to infect the whole team.

With the 30th pick, Totoro took Patrick. Beverley, in the second round he selected Ama Danny. Green and Dante. Cunningham, these players all have a characteristic, that is, they lack potential but are full of power, Beverley is a player who has played in the professional league in Europe for several years, Cunningham and Green are both juniors, they have shown people what kind of players they are, they may not be All-Star players in their lifetime, but they are definitely qualified NBA ordinary players, which is the most suitable for the Rockets, who have overflowed talent and are aiming for a second consecutive championship this year, After all, he didn't have that long to wait for them to cash in on their talents.

But here's the problem, the Rockets now have only one player on the roster of Tygipson as the team's power forward, but the small forward list has become three, and the point guard has also become three, the team still hasn't reached a real balance, if you let Totoro move up a position to play the power forward team will become balanced in an instant, but Totoro himself doesn't want to play the inside position, if he lets him make a cameo in a certain inside game, he still doesn't want to, but he still doesn't want to let him go inside and fight with others, When I am brain-dead, I will give up my easy work as an outside three-point line to do more difficult work.

However, this problem is not very big, because the managers of the major teams have not left immediately after the draft, and now is a good time to trade, and there is no need to submit a complicated proposal by email, just need to talk to others about their proposals.

Morey got into action, he got up and walked to the New York Knicks, and although the Knicks gave their draft pick to the Rockets, they also traded a first-round eighth pick from another team, and Morey handed his trade proposal to the Knicks' general manager, Donnie, who was going to take Lowry, who did well in the Finals, and Dent, who had drafted him. Cunningham packed up together for Jordan Hill, who was drafted by the New York Knicks, and Downey only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the plan.

Poor Cunningham and Little Steel Cannon thought that they were stable in the championship team, but within a few minutes, they were changed from the western cities of the United States to the economic metropolises of the east, and the team also changed from the championship level to the annual lotto salted fish, this rollercoaster experience can be said to have dried up the two of them at once.

But the NBA is a business league, they will talk about human feelings, but the absolute majority of them are only for outsiders to see, they will only play emotional cards with superstars, as for other substitutes or even starters, they will not care about your feelings at all, whatever you are with whom, as long as it is beneficial to the team, even if you are laid off, there will be no hesitation for a minute.

This is the end of the Rockets' summer offseason, and if you don't pay attention to Rockets fans in the summer, you will definitely not be able to resist this team that has undergone a major reshuffle in half of the team in the new season.

Now the lineup of the Rockets is:

Center: Yao Ming, Tyson. Chandler

Power Forward: Jordan. Hill, Tate. Gibson

Small forwards: Totoro, Danny. Green

Shooting Guard: Andre. Iguodala, Sean. Battier

Point Guard: Chris. Paul, Patrick. Beverley

The Rockets' 12-man roster is not yet full, and there are so many superstars and quasi-All-Stars on the team, the Rockets' salary space is still a long way from triggering the luxury tax, because among the 10 people, Paul and Yao Ming's contracts are a little bigger, Iguodala and Chandler can only be considered average, Totoro plus this year's three rookies are all rookie contracts, Sean. Battier is also a middle-class exception.

This summer's premium big contracts were traded to the Rockets, and Uncle Mu also bought out with the team after getting a championship ring, further releasing the salary space of the Rockets, and the Rockets' salary is enough to sign two veterans with an annual salary of about 3 million to be the insurance lock of the playoffs, and after that time, the Rockets will completely complete the roster upgrade work this summer.

At the beginning of the summer league, of course, players of Totoro's level will not join in the fun, he first went to the airport on behalf of the team to pick up the arrival of Paul and Tyson Chandler, the two new players, and assisted them in settling their property in Houston together, which was supposed to be the little giant of the same team leader to come to help together, but poor Da Yao still can't escape the clutches of the basketball association, and he was called back to play by them in the summer, and Totoro is also quite sorry for the little giant.

There is almost no rest in a year, usually fighting for his own honor, fighting for the honor of the country in the offseason, and if the Olympics and the World Championships let Da Yao return to the team, it will be fine, but just some friendly matches and Asian leagues have to be Yao Ming go back in person, which is a bit too unkind.

To put it more broadly, it's all for the country's face, but in fact, it's all for their own political achievements, who makes China only Da Yao one person to rely on?

Originally, those basketball associations were still ready to welcome Totoro, but now seeing Yao Ming's second spring and the rise of Space Yi, they seem to feel that Totoro is dispensable again, and the attitude of this basketball association is just like singing in Peking Opera, changing a face every day, and the conditions that were afraid of concessions have become harsh now, so that Totoro himself can also see the fire.

Their idea is very understandable, they want to make Chinese basketball a hegemon in Asia, but they don't want to become the hegemon of the world, because if the Chinese men's basketball team has reached the peak, what reason will they rely on to be greedy in the future?

My Neighbor Totoro is also slowly dying of the Chinese Basketball Association, people are patient, but those clowns have undoubtedly broken through their bottom line, let them slowly go to the bottom of the well, but Da Yao is his friend, Totoro is dead to the Chinese Basketball Association, but he will not snub the little giant, one thing is the same, he can take care of Da Yao, that is, let him rest more in the regular season........

The summer league ended quickly, and the three rookies selected by the Rockets performed well, and a pair of rookies composed of Gibson and Jordan Hill wreaked havoc on other teams in the summer league, with Tay Gibson defending and Jordan Hill attacking, In the summer league, they averaged a total of 24.4 points, 21.4 rebounds and 6.3 blocks per game, which can be described as shining all over the court, and another rookie, although Beverley's statistics are not good, but his mad dog-like biting defense has made everyone's eyes shine, although his own offense is spicy, but he can defend other guards like him, the most interesting thing is that when he is against Curry, Jennings and Fullin, these are all rookies in the lotto, but they are all disgraced by Beverley, Curry was 4 of 13 shots defended by Beverley, Jennings was defended by Beverley of 9 shots 2 of 9, of which Fulin was the most unlucky, defended by Beverley 11 of 0, which can be described as a big loss of face.

And this is only the summer league, but Curry was unbalanced by the mentality of the Black Shell defense, and almost got up with Beverley on the court, which is also a little convincing.........

After the end of the summer league is the preseason, before the free agent market closes, Morey signed the rebounding maniac Evans and the former Houston leader, the Chinese fans are very fond of people and righteous Francis, the team is finally finalized.

The Rockets' preseason opponents this year are the Kings, Spurs, Shanghai Sharks, Taiwan Bend, Raptors, Lakers and Heat seven teams, most of which are Asian games away from the United States, Shanghai, Taiwan Province of China, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Australia have games, the NBA will send two teams to play overseas every year, one to Europe, one to Asia, for overseas publicity, and the Lakers have always been frequent visitors to these two teams, because of the existence of Kobe Bryant, Now the defending champion Rockets are also part of it.

My Neighbor Totoro has not made his own trip back to China for the past two months, just because he knew that the team would go back to China for a few days, and he was ready to go with the team at that time.

After returning and packing their bags, Totoro practiced with the new team for a few moments, and then boarded a charter plane to fly to the other side of the ocean, the big country in the East where their souls were born.

For other players, China is a strange place, but for Totoro, China is his true hometown, and it is the place where his soul should return to his roots.

The plane flew for dozens of hours and landed at Beijing International Airport in Beijing, the capital of China, and when Totoro got off the plane and came to the check-in hall, a group of people in black pressure immediately screamed and wanted to rush over to surround Totoro.

My neighbor totoro was startled, and the four bodyguards next to him who were as strong as the iron tower immediately surrounded Totoro inside, Totoro himself didn't want to bring bodyguards when he went back to his country, he was all back to his hometown, and he was his own people inside and out, wouldn't it seem a little raw to bring a bodyguard?

But when he saw a large area of black pressing, unsightly, irrational brainless fans, Totoro still felt that Bugai's decision was correct, this Nima is not only enthusiastic, it can simply be on the side of madness, and he will be trampled to death by these crazy fans if he is not careful......

Fortunately, the airport has long expected such a situation, not only bringing together the professional security company hired by the rocket team in Chinese mainland, the airport's already strengthened security forces, and the local public security police, several forces worked together to finally resist the mountain and sea of fans.

The Rockets players quickly passed through the check-in hall, and the originally scheduled fan autograph session had to be abandoned.

But what Team Rocket didn't expect was that the situation outside the airport was even more serious than inside the airport, and the number of fans entering the airport could be controlled by the security, but the number of fans outside the airport was not within their capabilities.

"Wow, look, Team Rocket is here!"

"My Neighbor Totoro! Where is My Neighbor Totoro? Where's My Totoro! ”

"He's there! It's really handsome, the real person is much more handsome than the one in the photo and on TV! ”

"No! Squeeze a little further, and I'm going to say hello to him up close! ”
