Chapter 130: Now and Future, I Want Them All!
It is worth mentioning that after the team arrived in Houston, Lin Mu received a call from Da Yao.
As a friend of the national team, Da Yao should have invited Lin Mu to eat authentic Chinese food before the game began.
Spicy crayfish for the first time in a long time, this product seems to be not very popular in the United States.
"Thank you, the two players you traded for were so good!"
"No, it's the team's management's plan, it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Mu had a headache, why did everyone think that this deal was closely related to me?
When I first came to the team, could I decide something so important?
I'm really the son of the Alliance!
"Kostic, he's a great interior player and with him I can get a longer rest."
'And Joe Smith, he's more motivated than Kostic, and if Scola wasn't good enough, I'd really like to suggest Adelman put him in the starting line-up.'
Recently, Da Yao has been a little happy, relatively speaking, he has talked a lot.
Having an inside center who can take the pressure off him is something Yao Ming hasn't received since he entered the NBA.
Kostic is fully capable of acting as the team's starting No. 5 traditional interior lineman, so that Yao Ming can rest off the court with confidence.
"It's easy to use, when this product fights us, it will definitely not show mercy."
Ruthlessly abandoned at the start of the season, Kostic must have been full of resentment.
Lao Tzu worked hard in the thunder to do dirty work and tiring work, you said you don't want me, I don't want me, is there any reason for this?
Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu must prove himself to you today!
Lin Mu could imagine with his toes that Kostic would definitely be able to burst out with more powerful energy than usual.
"Don't worry, even if he can't, I'll blow you up!"
Da Yao used the gentlest tone to say something that made Lin Mu feel heartbroken.
"Don't be arrogant, even if you are strong, my big thunder has not been afraid of anyone!"
If you lose, you don't lose the battle, even if you are my fellow countryman, you can't bully people with your strength, right?
"That's okay, you must not show mercy in this duel!"
"Hahaha..."
Under the familiar big face plate of Da Yao, December 6, Sky City, Toyota Center.
After brushing the Mavericks and Spurs in a row, the morale of the Thunder generals was high.
In the last matchup with the Spurs, the Thunder didn't put much effort into the situation of high GDP and fought back-to-back, and their state was much better than expected.
However, looking at the luxurious lineup of the Rockets, even before the game, Thunder coach Scott did not dare to expect to win a victory here.
Yao Ming "The Great Wall of China", Scola "Diamond", Maddie, Artest, Battier, and Kostic, who just went to trade.
Full of stars, there are the top players in the league in every position, and their comprehensive ability is absolutely explosive.
Although many people will complain about Adelman's tactics, with a deep bench foundation, this rocket has bid farewell to the days when the main team was as strong as a tiger and the bench was like a dog.
"Divine Bird" Landry, Chuck Hayes, Vaughan Weaver, Joe Smith....
Even those fans who have complained about the weakness of the Rockets' bench all year round can't find a suitable entry point.
If you insist on black, there are not enough candidates for the Rockets No. 1 position, and the change in the direction of Alstom's trade has weakened the overall strength of the Rockets' backcourt.
Although "Little Black Bean" Brooks has been extremely eye-catching in recent games, organization and defense have never been his strengths, and if he really wants to make the playoffs, he will definitely be the focus of the Rockets in all positions.
Compared with the Rockets, the composition of the Thunder's roster is really too young, and the biggest of the entire starting system is Kyle Lowry, who was traded from the Rockets, which is simply an incredible thing.
Huaxia TV broadcast the game live, following the Chinese derby between Da Yao and the United Arab Emirates, another high-profile focus battle, in the mood of Chinese fans' great expectations, started!
"This Rockets team is a recognized favorite in the NBA, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, but I am still more optimistic about Yao Ming." When making a preview before the game, Director Zhang said.
"Yao Ming, the No. 1 center in the league today, despite Maddie's injury, no one can underestimate a super scorer who has won two scoring titles."
"Artest, who is both offensive and defensive, was once the Defensive Player of the Year, and his style of play was a headache for all the forwards and shooting guards in the league."
"Becoming an Immortal"
"Scola from Argentina, our old buddy, has left me with a lot of strength with his floor-flow attack."
"And Battier, I can't imagine how terrifying the Rockets' defense at the second and third positions is!"
Maddie started as a defender, and during the Menglong period, this product's defensive efficiency was among the top in the league, not to mention Atay, every defensive player of the year is a nightmare existence for the opponent.
There is also Sean Battier, the eye-covering god, if the peak of these three is in the era of small ball, Lin Mu has reason to believe that their combination will set off a bloody storm!
"This lineup configuration is really sour!"
Before the start of the game, Lin Mu, who was standing in the middle circle, looked at the starting lineup of the rockets, and the envy in his heart was overflowing!
Fortunately, their own players also have a lot of room for improvement, and if they really grow up, they will never be weaker than the other side.
But one is the present and the other is the future, Lin Mu is a little greedy, he really wants it all!
In the last two games, he played a wonderful 28 cards, and confidently walked to the middle circle position to jump the ball with Yao Ming.
The Rockets first attacked, and Brooks dribbled across the halfcourt.
At this time, in the ESPN studio, a ridiculous scene happened!
"Kenny, do you remember the last bet?"
Charles Barkley, one of the veterans of the Rockets, formed an earth-shattering triumvirate with "Big Dream" Olajuwon and "Glider" Drexler, all of whom have been selected as three of the top 50 superstars, and such an offensive scene is simply unimaginable.
However......
Barkley, who thought he was going to hug his thighs, didn't expect to become the object of hugging.
This made "Fliggy" angry, and bluntly said that he came to the wrong place, which is simply a mistake!
Coupled with the famous scene of kissing the donkey's butt before, Barkley's relationship with Houston is quite deep.
Of course, the protagonist of the day is not him, but Kenny Smith, who lost a bet in the last game.
"Charles, do you really want to do this?"
"We're old teammates, a close pair!"
Kenny's expression was a little ugly, because the bra in Barkley's hand was so ashamed!
If this is worn on women, the timid may not dare to go out.
That thin piece can only cover that little bit.
"I am willing to lose the bet, put on a bra and go around, and then call Dad affectionately in front of Uncle Ben, and this matter is over!"
TMD, let Lao Tzu kiss the donkey's buttocks, I don't dare to forget it for a moment!
Today, I finally have a chance to fight back!
"I'll call you ten times Dad, and this matter will be over, how about it?"
"No way! Put it on Lao Tzu! "Barkley is annoyed, grinding and chirping, don't force Dad to do it!
Reluctantly, Kenny Smith hung the object of shame on his head.
"Puff~~~"
"Hahahaha!
! ”
Barkley couldn't help it, he hadn't even turned around in circles, he had already laughed first.
"No, Kenny, your appearance can definitely become a classic, an indelible mark in basketball history!"
When Kenny Smith put on a bra and shouted Buckley's dad in front of the whole American people, "flying pigs" was a complete orgasm!
Like the scene on the basketball court, with Da Yao violently deducting 28 cards, the atmosphere of the Toyota Center was instantly pulled to a climax.
"Something is wrong, why is the picture a little off?"
Looking at Yao Ming with an arrogant face in front of him, 28 cards were stunned.
I can even handle the second center in the league with ease, why do I look so vulnerable when facing Yao Ming?
Standing behind him, I was like a chicken.
"Don't be discouraged, you have such a difference in height, you deserve to be beaten."
"You're an All-Star, you still have a long way to go, go ahead, you have your strengths, that's beyond the reach of your opponents."
Lin Mu almost said your long words....
Lin Mu's words woke up 28 cards, 28 cards were on fire in his eyes, and he was confident that he was coming!
"Give the ball, here, can I attack once?"
Rarely, 28 cards took the initiative to take the position on the inside, and he wanted to single Yao Ming!
"Hey, this young man has a little courage, and he actually provoked Yao Ming as soon as he came up?"
Director Zhang was happy, I haven't seen such an interesting picture for a long time.
Looking at 28 cards' actions, Lin Mu admitted that he had made a mistake.
"This wave of chicken soup for the soul has a lot of stamina."
Receiving Lowry's pass, 28 cards are vicious to the guts.
My advantage?
28 cards know very well that such a big man must move very slowly!
Confidently dribbling, 28ka tried to use the rhythm to shake Yao Ming.
The operation was like a tiger, and I looked at the pestle in place.
28 cards showed off the wave operation, but Yao Ming was unmoved.
Seeing that the time is about to run out, 28 Ka can't wait to take out the whip and open the way, just to get a little space to shoot.
"Smack!"
Blood Cap!
One offense and one defense, Da Yao perfectly interprets the terrifying strength of the All-Star center!
At the moment of the 28-card shot, Lin Mu had already activated the [Rebounding Monster] and was ready to compete for rebounds.
Jumped high, picked up offensive rebounds above the heads of Scola and Battier, jumped instantly, and completed the second offense.
"Don't be nervous, the game has just begun!"
In the process of returning to defense, Lin Mu patted 28 Ka's shoulder.
That's where it goes, and for the rest of the year, you're going to have to endure the intense pressure of an All-Star center.
The rocket attacked, and the white horse boy was still chic, but the speed of advancing with the ball was far less than the peak of the year.
Maddie's breakthrough is very profitable, his breakthrough relies on the first step to start the speed and shoulder feints, with amazing explosiveness as a basis, Maddie's first step can be called the fastest in the NBA.
But after losing his amazing explosiveness, Maddie's indomitable sharp breakthrough has become a burden to him now.
When a player's best thing is lost, he instinctively uses this technique on the pitch.
But there is no body to support it, and everything is like a mirror, shattering at the slightest touch.
Maddie wanted to break through Lin Mu, but found that he no longer had the original explosive ability, Lin Mu's position blocked his forward route, and if he broke through rashly, he would only give up the basketball in his hand.
With some bitterness inside, Maddie could only pull the basketball back from behind and try to take advantage of his height and his trademark dry pull to make a mid-range shot.
I knew you would do this!
At her peak, Maddie's dynamic talent is definitely above Lin Mu.
At sunset, Maddie's athletic ability is no longer as good as Lin Mu's now.
It's not good news, but it's true!
Head-on cap!
Lin Mu completed the front block after judging the opponent's movements.
"Sorry, Maddie, the man who once killed all sides on the basketball court can't escape the ravages of age and injury."
In Huaxia, there are many fans who are fans of Maddie, and such a scene makes them have mixed feelings in their hearts.
One is the idol I liked, and the other is the hope of the new star of the Chinese men's basketball team, although it is difficult to choose, but we must also give Lin Mu applause!
After taking the ball, he launched a fast attack, and Maddie desperately chased Lin Mu's back, but found that he couldn't catch up with the young man's footsteps.
"Boom!"
A violent slam ignited the audience, and the few thunder fans cheered and shouted, and between the reds, the shimmering blue was extremely dazzling.
"Yao, am I really not good?"
I vaguely remember what I said to Yao Ming after the injury, it was a kind of self-doubt, although he still has a static talent that many players in the league envy, but the tenacity in his heart has disappeared from the former All-Star.
Maddie and Kobe Bryant, two basketball stars who are often compared.
The hardware talent of the two is not equal, and even Maddie is better.
But in the competition of software talent, Kobe Bryant has to throw Maddie more than a dozen streets.
“T-Mac! Cheer up! ”
Yao Ming gently pushed Maddie from behind, this is the battlefield, before the time is over, no matter what state you are in, there can be no retreat.
As always, Rocket tactics, Brooks advanced with the ball, everyone pulled away in four corners, and Yao Ming fell directly to the low post to ask for the ball.
28 Ka tried his best to defend and desperately went around to interfere with Yao Ming.
However, the height gap is too large, and Yao Ming's weight at this stage is also 28 calories that cannot be matched.
After an easy catch, 28 cards were ravaged in the first quarter without any temper.
Da Yao even played an exaggerated record of 6 shots and 6 shots, which once helped the Rockets take a double-digit lead.
Fortunately, Durant hit a three-point shot, and Lin Mu singled out Maddie and used his physical advantage to hit the board, which brought the score gap back to five points.
At the interjunctive break, Scott did not panic at all in the face of a trailing score.
All the teams against the Rockets know that waiting quietly and exhausting Yao Ming's physical energy is not enough to win the opponent?
Lin Mu felt that Scott was a little taken for granted.
It was the Rockets a few years ago, and now they no longer need Yao Ming to fight uncontrollably on the court.
Adelman, despite being a bit fucked, has sent a signal to the outside world with a series of moves from the team.
The goal of the Rockets will be to go further in the playoffs!
For the protection of the star of the house, under Yao Ming's strong request, Adelman must fulfill his wishes.
"Da Yao, you're too heavy now, you have to start losing weight."
"Also, don't be a good old man, you have an unshakable position in the Rockets, learn to press, let the team management see your determination, only then will they be able to strengthen with their hearts, and your damn boss will be willing to take Dollars out of his pocket!"
"Again, this league is full of competition, you can choose to stay with the Rockets, but the premise of everything must be based on your health and the steady growth of the team's strength.
Obviously, Da Yao took what Lin Mu said during the Olympics to heart.
Planned cuts in playing time, weight loss, and a trade to play in Kostic, a series of seemingly ordinary moves are the result of Yao Ming's hard work.
They are like the cash cow of the Houston Rockets, and after making so much money, it's time for them to spit out!
