"Fire Cat Wars"
This headline has dominated major domestic media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not an exaggeration to say that today is the grand ceremony of NBA broadcasting in China, and the Yao Ye war has been hyped up in China.
First of all, both the Bobcats and the Rockets have a good record this season, and both have good records in their respective divisions. The second is the winning percentage of the two teams against the top teams in the league, the Bobcats have won against the Heat many times, and most of the top eight in the East are dominant except for the Pistons, and the top eight against the West are also five or five wins.
The Rockets are the nemesis of a strong team, and the Spurs, Mavericks, and Grizzlies form a terrifying Southwest Division.
Both teams have been advertised domestically as championship contenders this year, although the ratings on the American side are a bit far off.
But their own children look good, no, the domestic expectation of both teams is the championship favorite, this is some of the influence of China's modern history, no matter what, the goal is the championship.
Today, nearly 100 domestic reporters and media poured into the Toyota Center, surrounding the two teams, the Rockets have been accustomed to this posture in the past two years, and the role players on the Bobcats side are a little shocked, even White is around a dozen reporters, and the cameras surround him like long guns and short guns, Rao is that he has been in the NBA for many years, and his speech is also a little stammering.
Finally, the pre-game interview was over, and most of the players on the Bobcats' side who had never enjoyed this kind of treatment were a little reluctant.
"Ace, how many people are there in your country?" Capono, who enjoyed the treatment of a superstar, asked Ye Han excitedly.
"It's probably four or five times as big as the United States." Ye Han replied casually that since the Chinese Basketball Association couldn't suppress domestic public opinion, he has become accustomed to being surrounded by so many reporters.
"Ace, how big is your country? There are so many people! Hearing Ye Han's answer, a crowded country popped up in Capono's mind.
Ye Han thought for a while and replied, "How old is it?" It's one more California than the United States. ”
"Bigger than our America? No wonder there are so many of them! "Capono didn't have the concept of geography, he thought California was a super state.
Ye Han thought to himself, don't Americans pay attention to other countries?
In fact, it is really like this, in addition to the United States, Americans are other countries in their hearts, and they feel that the United States and other countries are two worlds, and they rarely pay attention to those things. Except for those who specialize in geography or prefer to travel to other countries, as well as some professionals, everyone else knows very little about things outside of the United States.
Back in the visiting dressing room, the Bobcats players were filled with excitement about being surrounded by reporters.
Many players like to play against the Rockets, regardless of winning or losing, and that feeling of being noticed by the media is indeed the dream of many players, but unfortunately the focus of reporters is usually on those superstars.
Now the Bobcats have most of their players' minds wandering away from the game.
For the sake of the Chinese market, the NBA official gave today's game a very pleasing title to Chinese fans - "Chinese Derby".
Similarly, today's game is also very popular in the United States, and it is the first time in the history of the NBA that two All-Star starters from the same country outside the United States have played each other.
American basketball is so strong that the vast majority of the All-Stars every year are Americans, and at most a quarter or a fifth of other countries.
This is still a little better in the past two years, and the United States has twice won the world war to prove the progress of other countries.
Soon, at 7:30 p.m., the Bobcats' away game against the Rockets kicked off at Toyota's center of gravity.
The starting guard of the Rockets is Tyronn Lue, a small man who was once crossed by Iverson in the Finals, and was traded to the Rockets after the All-Star, his sharp breakthrough is the foundation of his foothold in the NBA, and the first 60 games of the season are his peak, averaging 13 points and 5 assists per game, because of his excellent performance, he was finally sold to the Rockets by the Hawks. The Eagles have reached the point of madness for the sake of the champion and for the legendary Australian White Duncan, who plays well and sends him away, and whoever comes back quickly from injury will be sent away.
Starting point guard Maddy, whose 35.13 seconds touched him to make him plunder countless fans in China this year, this year's average of 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game is second only to James in terms of comprehensiveness.
Starting small forward Pojans Nabak, a coolie small forward, has basically no ability to score on his own, and his main role is to do the dirty work.
Starting power forward Juwan Howard, who has a well-known mid-range shot, his shooting percentage in the open position is a miracle, as long as it is empty, he can basically score. However, after coming to the Rockets, his scoring hit a new career low, averaging only 9 points per game, you must know that he averaged 17 points per game in his rookie season, it seems that he is really old, and like many ordinary stars, he began to decline sharply after the age of 30.
Starting center Yao Ming, who averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds per game this year, doesn't seem to have much data, but he is a huge containment point on the court, which has benefited other Rocket players immensely.
The Bobcats are still the same five starters.
The two sides are standing, as the number one defensive guard of the Bobcats, Ye Han and Maddie stand together, and today he has an extremely difficult task, which is to defend against Maddie.
Looking at Maddie's expression that seemed to never wake up, Ye Han didn't dare to be careless.
As the referee's opening whistle blew, he threw the ball into the air, and Okafor pressed Yao Ming, who was basically on the ground, to win the jump ball.
Lynx strikes first!
Blake with the ball.
Today, the Bobcats were ready to go all out from the start, and they played steadily from the start.
Blake broke through Tyronn Lue, Tyronn Lue was extremely slow and was a hole in the Rockets' defense, but the Rockets' defensive rotation was very fast, and Nabuck was very good in front of Blake and blocked Blake's breakthrough line. Nabuck's defense is not at the same level as Tyronn Luy, so Blake has no chance to continue to rush inside.
However, Blake's goal was never to score by himself, he threw the ball behind him, and Ye Han received the ball at the free throw line!
It feels very good, Ye Han got the first goal of the game.
Rockets offense, Tyronn Lue was used to this kind of thing when he was with the Lakers, and he immediately handed the ball to Maddie after halftime.
Maddie held the ball, and Ye Han saw this opponent, very focused and defended with all his might.
It's a pity that for this kind of superstar, the defense is at most a distraction,
Maddie chose to break through, Ye Han defended very hard, and the moment Maddie accelerated, he immediately judged the opponent's forward route.
Maddie's breakthrough route was very clear, and Ye Han judged the opponent's intentions very well, but he couldn't stop Maddie's excellent first step at all, and Maddie scored two points on his head. (To be continued.) )
