Due to the arrival of Yao Ming in 2002, his humility, humor, perseverance and professionalism have made him the world name card of Chinese basketball, and Houston has also become the most welcoming place for Chinese in the United States.

However, irrational fans are everywhere, especially this time with Maddie for a quasi-All-Star, a problem player and a rookie, even reasonable fans are a little unacceptable.

In fact, after that night of God on December 10, 2004, McGrady showed a downward trend in both physical and competitive condition.

But this subtle gap can't be seen in the eyes of fans, in their eyes, Soft Mai is still a player who averages 22+5+6 per game, Tracey is still one of the top scoring guards in the league, he is still a signboard, and who are David Lee and Randolph? Who is My Neighbor Totoro? Together, can they be compared to Maddie?

And most importantly, Maddy also spoke out through the media after the trade to criticize the Rockets executives, saying that he didn't know anything before the trade, he thought the Rockets had made a very stupid decision, he would restart with the Knicks, and he vowed that he would take the lead in winning the championship before the Rockets.

"Are you worthy of Maddie?"

"Kid from Los Angeles, can you make it to half the T-MAC achievement?"

"Chinese, you're not fit to play basketball in the NBA, you're not fit to come to Houston, the Rockets don't welcome you, you should go play in the WNBA!"

The taunts and insulting slogans that can be seen everywhere on the stadium can be seen everywhere, and Totoro's face is a little dark, and no one can stand this anger when he encounters the home fans so defective as soon as he plays.

"Don't be angry, American fans are like this, I was worse than you when I first came to the NBA, if you want to shut them up, use your own strength to change all this."

Da Yao saw Totoro's gloomy face, and at the same time saw the insulting signs on the field.

The little giant said that he was also very upset about Totoro, but he had no way to change anything, these fans who came to the scene to watch the game are actually the team's biggest wealth, and they are also the main contributors to their income, if there are no fans to watch the game, then what is the point of these basketball players?

So to put it bluntly, the fans are their food and clothing, especially the home fans, no matter how excessive, the only thing the players can do is to endure and change their views with their own actions.

There was no grand welcome ceremony in the first game of the preseason, the Rockets were the first to enter the court with the lights off, and every player walked out of the fan tunnel to be cheered by the fans in the stadium, but it was Totoro, Randolph and David Lee received scattered boos when they entered the court, which was very infuriating.

"I must let you know who will be your savior in the future!"

They don't know how quickly the soft wheat has fallen, and they don't know how good the players are this time, this season may be Maddie's last peak, and the peak of rotten tofu has just begun now, if you wait until next year, you Rockets want to use soft wheat to replace other people's rotten tofu people are not happy, not to mention that there are also David Lee, a member of the Warriors championship team, and himself, the future emperor superstar!

Well, the last one may now be believed by no one but himself..........

Rotten Tofu and David Li also expressed their displeasure, but they are also old balls, they know how to adjust their mental state, and they also know that it will not be too easy for ordinary players to be traded to a new club, they are already good, at least there is a core like Yao Ming, and they will not be excluded by the players within the team.

After the warm-up, the bench players left the game, the commentator announced the starting lineup for the home and away teams, and the first preseason game between the Rockets and Grizzlies was about to begin.

Rockets starters: Yao Ming, Randolph, Totoro, Artest, Brooks.

Grizzlies starters: Milicic, Scola, Rudy Gay, Mayo, Conley.

Randolph was originally Yao Ming's replacement in Adelman's plan, but with the arrival of Gasol Jr., who is more suitable for playing center, Rotten Tofu was eventually pushed to his favorite power forward position by the old coach.

Judging from the facelift books, the Rockets have an absolute advantage in center and point guard, equal in power forward and point guard, and the opponent has a big advantage in the small forward position.

But it's always theoretical, and when it comes to the actual game, Totoro tells the others that not everything is as good as they imagined!

Rudy Gay was the eighth overall pick in '06, but he has grown rapidly in recent years, and after the departure of Pau Gasol, he has become the core of the Grizzlies.

At 2.03 meters tall and 220 pounds, Rudy Gay has attractive physical conditions, he has a strong bounce, explosive power and excellent mid-range shooting skills. He can pass the ball with a lot of accuracy, he is good at teamwork, he has a tough defensive style, he plays with passion, and you can find a lot of good in him.

In his first season, he averaged 15.2 points, 2.1 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per game, and the template was McGrady, who had just been traded by the Rockets, and interestingly, Guy himself was selected by the Rockets in 06, but his lazy style made then coach Van Gundy trade him to the Grizzlies, and traded him and Swift to President Battier.

In the first round, Guy went from side suction to basketball, and Totoro immediately opened his arms to meet him.

"Hey, rookie, what are you doing so seriously, you shouldn't be trying to prevent me, right?"

The new core of the Grizzlies couldn't help but laugh when he saw Totoro's solemn expression, "Look at those fans around, if it weren't for the logo here, I would have thought I was playing at the FedEx basketball court?" ”

My Neighbor Totoro turned a deaf ear to the other party's trash talk, just staring at the basketball that the other party put behind him.

"Cut, it's boring!"

As soon as Guy saw that the other party had no mood swings, he couldn't help but mutter, 80% of the players in the NBA are the kind that blow up at one point, but 20% of the players are Gujing Wubo, no matter how you tease him, he will not lose his mind, such an opponent is very annoying, because if you want to beat him, you can only defeat the opponent by strength.......

And Guy was going to do just that, pulling the ball back to give himself enough distance to start and break through, but the quick-witted Totoro stepped forward and blocked his starting space.

Guy took another step back, Totoro followed one step further, and the core of the Grizzlies team saw that the distance between the opponent and himself seemed to be very tight, and immediately made a low hand in disguise, wanting to use the rhythm to shake off Totoro and enter the inside.

My Neighbor Totoro said that he really didn't expect the other party to give him such a play, but his body reacted faster than his thinking, and instinctively took a step to the right, and he still stuck on Guy's inside.

The new core of the Grizzlies is not a role known for their strength, and at 220 pounds, he is only about 100 kilograms, and even if he has gained weight in the past two summers, Guy is definitely not a match for Totoro with a weight of 110 kilograms.

Guy can't run with speed, can't squeeze through with strength, but he is not outstanding with dribbling skills, and he can only barely do it without being dropped by dribbling with weak hands.

After the other players on the two teams pulled apart, Guy has been entangled with Totoro near the free throw line, and even if the Grizzlies core has exhausted all his current means, he just can't get past Totoro's "iron wall".

", that's so hard?"

Rudy Gay glanced up at the timer mounted above the basket, and saw that the attack time was less than 5 seconds, and he couldn't care about it so much at the moment, so he directly picked up the ball and threw it with a five-star difficulty emergency stop and big back.

This time, Guy didn't expect him to score, and all he did was to lose face by not letting himself be covered and not being defended by the opponent for 24 seconds.

This rookie's defensive ability is very strong, this is his own understanding of the Chinese in the first round, he despised the opponent too much in the first round, and when he is prepared next time, Totoro will definitely not be so embarrassed to defend himself like this time.

"Huh!"

However, the amazing thing is that Guy's five-star shot this time actually hit the hollow net like a big luck.........
