122. More than halfway through the regular season

Ye Han had never participated in the team's group activities before, and he didn't like to participate in gambling and other activities.

It can be regarded as self-cleansing...... Well, in fact, he was poor before, and occasionally gambling for money was a man's pleasure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But it is true that because of this relationship with the team's players, he has gone a little far, and Ye Han has high requirements for his teammates, and the market requires his teammates to play better with cold eyes, which Capono deeply understands, Capono understands Ye Han's high requirements very well, but others are not necessarily.

A team needs a variety of roles, and the Bobcats need a leader like Ye Han to push the team forward. And the Bobcats have another leader, Okafor, a leader who is completely different from Ye Han, Okafor is very outstanding in cohesion of the team, and has been the leader of the team since high school.

With Okafor singing white face, Ye Han singing red face, and Bickerstaff high-pressure policy, the first season of the Bobcats can be said to be a success.

However, Ye Han occasionally participates in the activities of his teammates, of course, it is impossible for the whole team to be there as usual, Okafor only invited the team's five starters, and four of them came, no more and no less, just right.

Okafor, Kapono, and Blake got together, and they just said one word - bet.

It's not a big gamble, it's just a pleasure, they didn't ask Ye Han to play cards together, half a season has passed, and they know very well that Ye Han doesn't participate in these things.

Ye Han has become a habit of not gambling money, and Le Lin has been making trouble fishing, so he really went fishing with Le Lin.

The day's small gathering passed quickly, and Ye Han's fishing skills were not bad, and he caught a lot. But Lelin's plan to grill fish did not come to fruition, and the Americans looked strange to the Chinese, they do not eat freshwater fish.

Ye Han didn't understand why, Americans just don't eat freshwater fish, the fish caught here have to be released or fishermen buy home to feed and play, fishing is pure fun in the eyes of Americans, and the money to buy seafood and aquatic products is far less than the money spent on a fishing.

In the evening, everyone had a meal together, and saw Noah and the two women gossiping happily for a long time, Le Lin's excitement when fishing, and he also felt very relaxed, Ye Han felt that sometimes it was not bad to organize and play like this.

However, at this time, Ye Han thought of Sharapova, and the tennis season seemed to have started again......

After eating, everyone went back to their respective homes.

On the way home, Ye Han drove the car, and Noah sat in the passenger seat with Le Lin, who had fallen asleep after a day of playing.

"Sister." Ye Han suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Noah is also a little sleepy, she has been nervous to deal with a lot of endorsement things, and now that she has passed the endorsement storm before the all-stars, those brands looking for spokespersons have found their own people, Ye Han's various endorsements have basically been signed, and there will be more than 20 million endorsement income in the next year, excluding nearly 40% of state and federal taxes, which is also a considerable income.

Ye Han and Nike's endorsement contract has driven countless people crazy, and only James in the league has a sneaker endorsement fee comparable to Ye Han.

Originally, Kobe Bryant was going to sign a huge endorsement with Adidas last year, but because he did it himself, he could only sign a relatively cheap endorsement with Nike in the end.

After the endorsements were all done, I had another day of relaxing play today, Noah's tense nerves finally relaxed, and now she is very sleepy, and she has to sleep when she gets home.

"It's fine." Ye Han wanted to make sure that Sharapova had no news recently, but he was afraid that Noah would laugh at him, so he stopped talking.

"Lost again! Hurry up and find your way home, or I'll beat you up! Noah said fiercely, she obviously thought that Ye Han was lost again, and didn't want to show Ye Han the way, she adjusted a comfortable position and hugged Le Lin to sleep.

“……”

Ye Han really can't understand Noah sometimes, sometimes he is nervous, but sometimes he is very wise, which is really ...... I think it's so cute!

……

On January 18, 2005, the 19-21 Bobcats played their final game of the first half of the season and their 41st game of the season at home against the Indiana Pacers, who played Game 2 in a back-to-back game.

It's more accurate to say that the Lotto zone is more than halfway through the season, and the Bobcats are aiming for the playoffs, or even better, and such teams tend to be halfway through All-Star Weekend, with the first half of the season before All-Star and the second half of the season after All-Star.

And unlike the lotto team, after All-Star Weekend, it's time for the final standings, and teams on the edge of the playoffs are also fighting for a playoff spot.

The Bobcats and Pacers are both playoff teams, and this game is just a very normal game of the season, and there is nothing special about it, so the two teams play harmoniously.

The Pacers are gradually recovering from the Auburn Hills Palace game, but the biggest piece of the game, last season's best defensive player and one of the MVP contenders at the beginning of the season, Ron Artest, was suspended for a season, and the Pacers lost the team's best player and have lost the ability to compete for a championship.

It seems that because of the Auburn Hills Palace incident, the Pacers' super invagination Jermaine O'Neal is gone, and he has been tepid since his comeback, and today's game with the Bobcats is the same, the offensive end is watching the sky in the middle distance, and is pushed out more and more by Okafor, and the defensive end is also symbolically reaching out, and the rebound is not grabbed, and it is blown up by Okafor.

Okafor scored 17 points and 15 boards in the game, easily beating O'Neal Jr., who only had 12 points and 7 boards.

On the outside, the Pacers are a team that relies on individual strength to move forward, losing Artest, the team's second scorer and first defensive point, plus today's back-to-back truce, no one can compete with Ye Han, Ye Han seems to use the game as a training ground, and boldly practiced the ball holding singles that he is not good at, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't score, there are Okafor and the conscientious Gerard Wallace to grab the rebound.

The two-game losing streak ended easily, and Ye Han, who shot 9 of 24 from the field, scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the Bobcats beat the Pacers 102-90 and ending the two-game losing streak.

Halfway through the regular season, the Bobcats finished with a 20-21 record, far exceeding the pundit predictions they had given the Bobcats for a better season before the season began.

The famed E.S.P.N. TV station predicted a 16-66 record for the Bobcats before the season, while they gave the Rockets a 30-52 record for the Western Conference on the grounds that Maddy was not a good leader on an 18-game losing streak with the Magic last season.

But the Rockets are now 26-16, fifth in the West, just four games away from 30 wins, and are likely to improve their win to 30 this month.

E.S.P.N. and other American TV stations are very fond of looking down on Chinese players, from Yao Ming to Ye Han.

No, E.S.P.N. made a new prediction halfway through the season, which made people complain like crazy.
