Chapter 253: The First Technical Foul
Come watch the Houston Rockets' home opener of the new season, and stop by the back door to get in touch with the newcomer who has been on fire lately. Da Meng didn't expect that Chen Zhi would directly ask to learn from his dream steps.
"In the past, a lot of players came to me for advice," Da Meng said with a smile as he looked at the little man in front of him, "and then I set up a training camp in the off-season. ”
The meaning of Big Dream is obvious, if you want to learn from me Dream Steps, you have to wait until the off-season.
"I can pay for tuition like I would for an off-season training camp." Chen Zhi naturally understood the meaning of Da Meng's words, but still said with a hopeful gaze.
Now that the new season has just begun, and after at least half a year in the offseason, Chen Zhi hopes that he will be able to use it this season.
Olajuwon taught Dream Footsteps for free many years ago, but then he began to charge for it, and the cost is extremely high, about 50,000 meters of gold for a week's training, which can be called the most expensive training camp in the NBA in the offseason.
In fact, this money is nothing to Da Meng, after all, he has earned a salary of more than 100 million yuan in his career, and in the first ten years of investing in real estate, the profits he earned have far exceeded the total salary obtained as an NBA player, and now more than 20 years have passed, and his worth may have risen a lot.
The expensive training camp fee is just to reduce some of the burden on his body, after all, Da Meng is already in his fifties.
For Chen Zhi to say that he wanted to pay the fee, Da Meng just smiled slightly, he knew that the small Chinese player in front of him was not short of money, as long as he could stay healthy, he would get the highest salary in his first contract, even if it was only the salary of his career, I am afraid it would not be less than the savings of most of his life, after all, the current NBA is unprecedentedly prosperous, the salary has increased significantly, and it will continue to grow in the future.
With only tens of thousands of meters of gold, the big dream naturally won't be taken seriously, but he saw Chen Zhi's extremely sincere look.
"So be it! I can make an exception and give you a day to let you know when I get the schedule finalized! Da Meng said with a smile.
Seeing Chen Zhi's somewhat hesitant expression, Olajuwang showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Don't worry, young man, since I promised to give you special training, I will definitely not deliberately delay the time too late." ”
Although he is still not satisfied with this result, Olajuwon has agreed to make an exception for a day of special training, and Chen Zhi has no objections, after all, Da Meng and him are only meeting for the first time, and there is no friendship at all.
If it weren't for Harden bringing Olajuwon over, he would be considered an introducer, and I am afraid that he would not even have the opportunity for this day's special training.
There is a saying in Huaxia that the master leads the door to practice in the individual, Chen Zhi believes that with his own understanding and ability, even if there is only one day of special training, there will definitely be a huge gain, not to mention his current memory, it is simply a personal body video recorder, for the actions and words of the big dream, he will definitely write it down with his heart.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Zhi has a little more affection for Harden, but he is grateful and grateful, and he still has to be real on the court.
Before the two left, Chen Zhi naturally seized the opportunity and asked for an autograph, and there were really not many opportunities to meet these famous old guys.
Da Meng and Uncle Mu didn't stay for a long time, and they didn't talk much, after all, in the entire Mavericks team, there was probably only one Nuo Tianwang who had played in the same era as them.
After leaving the visiting locker room, Harden returned to the home locker room to prepare for the game.
At 218 centimeters tall, the African Mountain, who looks taller and stronger than Olajuwon, walked in the passage and said to Dameng, who was preparing to go to the stadium and wait for the game to start, "Have you been busy lately? ”
"I'm definitely not busy, I'm not going to watch the rocket game, if I'm busy, how can I be free." Da Meng laughed when he heard this.
"Then why did you only promise to conduct a one-day special training, and it will drag on for a while." Mutombo wondered, he still thought that Big Dream was very busy now, obviously his little life should be very leisurely, after all, Big Dream can also be ranked among the richest people in the entire NBA history, and they, retired NBA superstars, are usually in a state of enjoying life.
Da Meng smiled when he heard this: "Maybe he will forget about this after a while, and I won't be idle!" ”
"Come on, I'm afraid you'll have itchy hands if you don't touch a basketball for three days!" Mutombo quipped.
Although the two of them have not teamed up with the Rockets, they have played against each other in the NBA for many years and have also played for the Rockets for many years, and they have long been old friends.
Da Meng smiled, "Look at the NBA players who learn from me Dream Footsteps, how many of them are small guards?" ”
"Oh, I see, mostly inside players and swing guards." Mutombo thought for a moment and smiled.
"Yes, it's all interior players like Yao Ming, Howard, Griffin, or tall forward players, Kobe Bryant, James and the like, have you ever heard of a team where small men frequently go to the low post to play singles?" Big Dream said.
Uncle Mu nodded when he heard this, in the NBA League, no small player with a height of about two meters has reached the low post, basically just waiting to be blocked, in the end, Olajuwon feels that there is no need for Chen to practice low-post skills. How did he know that Chen Zhi's height would still increase significantly, and he would definitely attack frequently in the low post in the future.
In the last game, Novis was absent from the game, and in this game away from Houston, Novis basically planned to play, but before the game, the old man had a severe stomach ache, so he had to choose to recharge his energy again, and Powell once again promoted to the start.
TNT's three aces rallied again to explain the game, and before the players even played, Barkley and O'Neal's routine began to tear up.
"Hey, Shaq, look who's next to the Rockets bench!" Barkley laughed.
"Oh! Hakim! Back then, I was tied for the top four super centers! It reminds me of that era again! At that time, the league was the world of the center, which was very different from now! O'Neill said.
Barkley mentioned Olajuwon, naturally he didn't want to hear O'Neal brag, "I also think of that era, that year was your peak on the Magic team, you and Hardaway reached the finals together!" ”
92 No. 1 pick O'Neal spent his first rookie contract time with the Orlando Magic, although O'Neal showed extraordinary strength, but the young sharks have not reached their peak in the end, after the rookie contract ended, he did not negotiate with the Magic team in terms of salary, and was finally recruited by the giants Los Angeles Lakers, opening the era of the invincible OK dynasty.
But even if it is unpleasant afterward, the Orlando Magic is still where O'Neal set sail in the NBA, and I can't help but feel a little emotional at this moment.
When O'Neal was nostalgic for the old days, Barkley finished unhurriedly, "You made it to the finals and got kicked in the ass by Hakim!" 4:0 swept out! ”
In the NBA playoffs, 4:2 is the most common score, followed by 4:1, 4:3 There are not many times to tie seven battles, and the rarest is 4:0 being swept, which can be said to be a shame!
Although O'Neal has already scored super data against Olajuwon in the finals even when he was under his rookie contract, the score of 4:0 is indeed easy to give people the illusion that O'Neal was completely blown up by Olajuwon.
"Hakim is really the strongest opponent of my career." O'Neill could only say helplessly, "Okay, the game has started, let's take a look at today's game." ”
For the victory of this game, the Rockets sitting at home can be said to be inevitable, after two road trips have lost two in a row, sitting at home can be said to be the best chance to get the first win of the season, the Rockets can be said to be high-spirited in this game. It's just that the fighting spirit may not be able to be transformed into combat effectiveness on the field!
But in this game, the Rockets did explode again,
Not only did the outside vitality group erupt, but the Rockets' interior players also broke out, for Capela, the Dallas Rockets are not afraid, this guy's offensive means are extremely simple, but he is brisk on his legs, and with Harden's blocking and dismantling, Bogut's old arms and legs are still a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
However, Capela is not an X-factor, after the Rockets bench interior player Nene Hilario came on the court, the Dallas Mavericks were beaten inside, although Meijery was tall, but he couldn't restrain Nene from turning over the river under the basket at all, in the second half of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, Nene was 8 of 8 on the court, leading the Rockets to play an offensive wave to open the difference.
Mavericks substitute inside line Mejri looked very bad after getting off the court, and muttered: "A guy with a ball, the dick is too much!" ”
Chen Zhi smiled helplessly when he heard this, this man who had been cut off due to illness, known as ** warrior, and the transliterated Chinese name sounded a little obscene, although he did not play at the level of an all-star in his career, he was very efficient and played with great passion.
Before the fourth quarter, the Rockets had even led by 10 points, which gave Rockets fans hope of winning.
Nene was still tumbling on the inside, receiving a pass from Harden, and the extremely realistic virtual shaking on the right side of his back immediately shook Mejri up.
Feints shook the opponent's Nene with a smile on his face, today's game was really enjoyable, the offensive end was completely demanding, after turning around, as long as a small hook, two points scored again!
However, after turning confidently, he will get a lot of room to shoot, and Nene will easily score two more points, and just after his right arm is bent to make a quick small hook, he hears Harden shout "Be careful!" ”
Nene heard Harden's reminder that it was too late to make a change, a figure flashed in the bottom corner of the right side, and Chen Zhi had already rushed to Nenene's side, jumped high, and slapped the ball in Nenene's hand at once. It's a pity that after this ball was taken down, it hit Nene and went out of bounds, Chen Zhi didn't get the ball in time to launch a fast counterattack, and needed to re-attack the out-of-bounds serve.
"What a big hat! It's Chen!! This big hat should cool down the hot feeling inside! Kenny Smith shouted when he saw that Chen, who had not done much on the defensive end, suddenly rushed out to complete the defensive hat.
However, not long after he finished admiring, he heard Barkley and O'Neill shouting, "Oh! No, no, no! Oh, oh, oh!! ”
After Chen finished his big hat, he saw Uncle Mu, the African mountain who was also sitting on the sidelines of the Rockets bench watching the game, and then stretched out his right index finger and shook it in the direction of Uncle Mu!
Salute to Uncle Mu!
Chen Zhi has this simple thought in his heart!!
However, the referee's whistle sounded! And signaled a technical foul on Dallas player No. 10!!
I'm X! What a situation!!
Hearing the referee's whistle, Chen Zhi was completely in a state of confusion, what is the situation, why did you blow my technical foul!!
"Hey, where did I foul!" Chen Zhi immediately walked up to the referee who blew him for a technical foul, this is just nonsense, it is definitely a black whistle!
The referee has not yet responded to Chen Zhi's question, Matthews on the side saw Chen Zhizai's referee theory, and hurriedly came over to pull Chen Zhi and let him calm down, and the referee's theory seems to be a very NB move, but if he is not careful, he is likely to be blown by the referee for a second technical foul and directly expelled from the game, and now the score in Dallas is still in a backward state, if Chen Zhi is expelled from the game, then this game will really be suspended!!
Seeing that Chen Zhi was still a little impulsive, he reflexively pulled himself, Matthews had no choice but to say, "Didn't anyone tell you?" You can't shake your finger at the opposing player, it's a provocative move and you'll be whistled for a technical foul! No problem with the referee's decision!! ”
The referee was not far away, paying attention to the movements of Chen Zhi and Matthews, he didn't mean to give Chen Zhi a second technical foul, and when he heard Matthews say this to Chen Zhi, the referee responded: "Yes, you can't make this provocative move to the opponent!" ”
"Let's go, don't talk about it!" Matthews took Chen Zhi's arm and persuaded him, but Chen Zhi didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.
"What about him?" Chen Zhi asked.
Following the direction of Chen's finger, the referee glanced at it and responded: "Even Mutombo is no exception, the NBA has never been an exception, and shaking your finger at the opponent is not allowed!" ”
Chen Zhi was speechless when he heard this, "I know that it is a rumor that the NBA gave Mutombo permission to only allow him to shake his finger alone, but it is legal to shake his finger to the audience!" ”
"Legally! But I see you're just shaking your finger at the Houston Rockets bench! The referee said very firmly.
"Who said I shook my finger at the Rockets bench, I waved my finger at the African mountains, he's a spectator now!!" Chen Zhi was very speechless, and the referee actually explained to himself whether Mutombo could shake his finger, in fact, what he just meant was whether he could shake his finger to Mutombo!!
If Chen Zhi really just wanted Mutombo to shake his finger on the sidelines, then this behavior was legal, and Mutombo was also whistled for technical fouls for shaking his fingers when he played in the NBA, but after Mutombo figured out the rules, he just shook his fingers at the audience, and naturally he would not be punished.
The referee shook his head and didn't say anything more. If it is really as Chen Zhi said, it is his own miscalculation, but the Rockets bench is next to Mutombo, and he can't tell whether Chen Zhi is really just waving his finger at Mutombo.
X! Chen Zhi never expected that his first technical foul in the NBA would be so wronged!
