Chapter 62: It Looks Good to Bully
March 23, USC vs Ohio University.
More than 3,000 Chinese fans came to the Toyota Center Arena today, and most of the local Houston fans were influenced by Yao Ming, and most of them also supported USC.
Wu Huang soon found out that this game was another home game.
Today, his parents and neighbors were watching the game in the private room, and after Wu Huang entered the court, he stretched out his hand and waved to it, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
Christine and Taylor Swift didn't show up today, and Wu Huang shamelessly put his tickets on the auction site, and now it has turned into cash into his account.
"You can't see the scene in the private room, so it's better to watch the live broadcast at home than to watch the big screen." Chloe Moretz sat in the box and was not satisfied, looking down from here, he couldn't see the players clearly, and could only watch the game through the big screen in the stadium or the huge projection screen in the box.
"Here you go, you can even see Hugo's nostrils with this." The second eldest Colin Moretz has developed a body of muscles in the past six months, and handed little Chloe a telescope with a cold face.
The four brothers were lined up at the moment, standing in front of the completely unobstructed huge glass, one holding a telescope, staring at Emperor Wu on the court.
The view in the VIP box is very good, it is specially equipped with more than a dozen telescopes, with which you can see three-quarters of the stadium, plus the speaker system in the box can simulate the entire stadium, which can make people feel immersive, which is two completely different experiences from sitting in the front row.
"I see!" Chloe Moretz took the binoculars and also aimed his gaze at Emperor Wu, and sure enough, even Emperor Wu's facial expression could be seen.
Emperor Wu suddenly felt a burst of Alexander in his heart, I don't know if it was because of the hot atmosphere at the scene, he was a little nervous?
"No, the atmosphere at Staples Arena is no worse than here, and I'm not so uncomfortable." Wu Huang shook his head, the feeling of playing at the Toyota Center is different from that in Staples, and he usually likes to watch the Rockets play, after all, this team has its own compatriots.
He always felt that if a game was only thirty minutes, then Yao Ming would be a superstar in the top 20 of the Hall of Fame.
It's like he's always felt that the difference between Ginobili and Kobe Bryant is that he can only play at a consistent level for 48 minutes, and the other can only play 30 minutes.
"Tracy, I'm your fan, sign me." After Wu Huang came out, he took out a pair of T-MAC third-generation sneakers from his backpack and ran to Maddie alone and said.
The titular boss of the Rockets sat in the front row with Yao Ming to watch the game today.
Wu Huang feels that this pair of T-MAC third-generation sneakers is the best-looking pair of his many collections, although he prefers Kobe, but the star is the star, the sneaker is the sneaker, this T-MAC third-generation Mandarin Duck color version of the sneaker is a pair of out-of-print sneakers that he spent a thousand dollars to receive two months ago.
Maddie heard this, smiled happily, this pair of sneakers he knew, he wore this pair of sneakers on the All-Star for the first time to perform the iconic self-throwing and self-buckle, this pair of sneakers of different colors, at that time only sold less than a thousand pairs, I didn't expect Wu Huang to have a pair here.
Wu Huang didn't know that his move was captured by live TV, especially the pair of Adidas sneakers in his hand deeply stimulated Nike, and the identity of Maddy Adida's camp and this pair of Adi's sneakers made them mistakenly think that their rivals had taken the lead in the competition for Emperor Wu.
"Good looks are good-looking, but they don't work." Wu Huang and Yao Mai exchanged a few words, he really liked the style of playing with Maddie in these sneakers, but unfortunately these shoes and his owner were a little useless.
If you really want to talk about it, there is indeed a lot of gap between Nike and Adi's sneakers in terms of scientific and technological content, let's just say that this pair of T-MAC third-generation sneakers, one has no shock absorption, two no inner boots, only an anti-twist and non-marking rubber, he wonders if Maddie is wearing these shoes and breaks his body bones, and he is more worried that if he signs Adidas, the other party will also get this kind of cheating shoes for himself, then it will be really a dog.
Of course, Adidas is not without its own exclusive technology, such as their unique cushioning rubber can still play a certain role in cushioning, but compared to Nike's air cushion technology, the two are still much worse in cushioning performance.
As we all know, Adi's sneakers do not have air cushions, which is Nike's patent, and it has not yet expired, so Adi can only use foam and rubber technology to cushion shocks, and the result is that many of Adi's cushioning technologies are a little worse than Nike's.
In general, Nike cushioning relies on air cushions, and Adi cushioning relies on rubber and foam, and the biggest difference between the two is actually in the cushioning effect.
Wu Huang has collected so many sneakers from two companies, and the cushioning effect of Adi sneakers has always made his eggs hurt, and the cushioning ability of Nike sneakers is much better.
Therefore, if the jumping men wear Adi, such as DeRozan, they will be overhauled within three or five years, and the "no brothers, no basketball" of the year, the time for those who like to jump is almost up, if Anta hadn't saved Garnett (manual squint), the wolf king would have hung up a long time ago, but stars like Billups and Duncan who don't like jumping are still alive.
Objectively speaking, Adi's basketball shoes are not useless, their grip and torsion resistance are more practical than Nike, and the workmanship is much better than that of American goods, which is more suitable for outdoor use.
The user of Adi basketball shoes is still suitable if it is a player who does not like to fly up and down, such as a star like Duncan.
Wu Huang is such a player, his bounce is very good, but he just doesn't like to rush and hit, he thinks it's a reckless man's behavior, dexterity and speed is his pursuit, a stop together, a turn and a pad, a pull and a pull, these are his style of play, Adidas's grip and torsion resistance are very compatible with his skills, and the cushioning is almost acceptable to him.
Maddie's recent situation doesn't seem to be good, Wu Huang chatted with the two leading stars of the Rockets, and in such a short time, he keenly noticed that the two were a little incompatible.
Wu Huang guessed well, don't look at Yao Ming and Maddie sitting together, in fact, the relationship between the two has reached the point of tension.
The so-called wall is pushed by everyone, and this is the case with Maddie now, he is not only in a tense relationship with Yao Ming, but also has a relationship with Team Rocket.
The contradiction between Yao Mai has long erupted, the entire Rockets team, including Artest, has already torn up with Maddie at the moment, and now the Rockets, except for the owner Alexander, who still doesn't want to trade Maddie, everyone, including Rocket fans, wants Maddie to get out of here quickly!
The conflict between Yao Ming and Maddie can be said to have a long history, initially after Maddie came to the rocket, Yao Ming put his posture very low, volunteered to be a red flower, willing to be a green leaf, this is the traditional virtue of the Chinese. But Maddie gradually became lazy after the first two seasons and played less and less the court.
In fact, it's fair to simply say that Maddie is too lazy, after coming to the rocket, he began to suffer from injuries, and I don't know if it's Adi's pot, anyway, soft wheat continues to be injured, and he began to become cautious on the court, and even once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and became shrinking.
This made Yao Ming and Maddie gradually disagree, and gradually said that they were different and did not conspire with each other, especially when they lost to the Jazz in the 07 Rockets playoffs, and Yao Mai's relationship was completely frozen.
Rockets fans will remember that after that loss, Yao Ming went crazy after the game, saying that he felt like he had been traded to a new team, and that some teammates behaved irresponsibly, and almost named Maddy.
But afterwards, Maddie is still making excuses for his poor performance, saying: "My ankle is not very comfortable, and even now, when I wake up, it still hurts. If anyone is to blame for this, I think it's this new pair of shoes that I just put on my feet, and I feel very uncomfortable when I put them on. ”
Adi lay down again, and not long ago, Artest also openly bombarded Maddie in front of the media, accusing Soft Mai of not being effective on the defensive end.
The Beast bluntly told the media at the time: "Defense has to start with Tracy, just like the team has to start with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron, we have to start with the elite players, we have to start with him, we have to start with Yao Ming, and then everyone else follows suit." ”
This happened just a week ago, when Artest's answer stunned the reporters present, and even the publicists of Team Rocket who were listening next to them stared.
The Rockets players have already drawn a line with Maddy, and fans may be confused about why everyone would reject one person.
There are many such situations in the NBA, and as a player, Wu Huang knows very well and understands that when a person is rejected by most people, he should first find his own problems.
Wu Huang put the signed sneakers on the bench and returned to the court, and the game was almost starting.
Evan Turner took the initiative to greet Emperor Wu before the game began.
The two of them don't have much to do with each other, the former is already a sophomore, and is averaging 17.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, shooting 50% from the field and 44% from three-point range, making him a very versatile and efficient player.
USC's pre-game research focused on the best small forward in the Big 10 leagues, Turner is a man who can shoot independently, can cut, can shoot, can pass, can grab rebounds, can get position, and can defend...... Almost an omnipotent swingman.
Many pundits believe that Turner is a clear-headed player with a clear head on the court, exceptional leadership, excellent offensive ability but a willingness to share basketball, and a rare team leader who has been given him the template for Maddie on the sidelines.
Wu Huang and Turner also exchanged two sentences briefly, and it turned out that this guy's tone was more humble than him, obviously he was a first-year player, and he was a second-year player, but from the conversation between the two, the position seemed to be reversed.
"Well, this is an introverted guy, and seeing that he smiles so sincerely, he is probably still a good bully." Wu Huang's psychology of half a bucket of water is somewhat useful, in the face of this kind of honest and introverted guy, Wu Huang has at least two ways to deal with him, it is good to be tough, and it is okay to be polite, how to choose?
