Chapter 155 The Chinese Derby of the Christmas War
On December 12th, the Christmas Day of Daomi Li's family, all members of the Bulls arrived at the Toyota Center in Houston.
This day is a day of carnival in the United States. The streets are filled with Christmas trees, and the festive atmosphere is full.
I have to say that the big kid like Nuoah is more popular. As soon as he got off the bus, there were a bunch of young ladies and little lolitas asking him for candies.
Noah, who was empty in his pocket, could only stand there and giggle, but fortunately, Su Yi threw a can of chocolate to help him ease the embarrassment.
This kind of western festival made Su Yi, a Chinese native, not have such a strong sense of substitution. He was more concerned about the decisive battle with Dayao.
Just checked into the hotel, a message suddenly popped up on the phone:
Yao Ming: "How is it? You've arrived in Houston!"
Su Yi: "You guys are so noisy!"
Yao Ming: "Just get used to it, it's like this every year, see you tonight."
Su Yi: "See you tonight."
The daytime in Houston in winter is very short. When the Bulls went to the arena at 5:[-] p.m. local time, night had already fallen.
On this special day, there were still no empty seats in the arena, and many fans came to watch the game wearing Santa hats.
As early as the 90s, as the overlord of the league, the Bulls were naturally the VIPs that must be invited every year, so the important thing is the selection of supporting roles.
After Jordan retired, the Christmas game naturally became a backyard party for the Lakers.
As the first dynasty team to win three consecutive championships in the new century, O'Neal and Kobe are also indispensable guests on Christmas Eve every year.
Today, however, Stern wants to change his mind, and the Bulls have once again become the selling point of this Christmas.
Stern felt that the love and hatred between the two proud sons of China would attract most of the interest and attention.
That's where the Rockets-Bulls Christmas game comes in.
Whether it is the Huaguo Sports Channel, or ESPN, TNT and other TV stations, this game is the core feast of this Christmas.
Before the game, Yao Ming and Su Yi were interviewed by the media at the same time.
"I like this team. I hope to keep playing in Houston, and I look forward to helping the team achieve better results. Although the team is temporarily in a downturn, I believe that in the second half of the season, we will The strength of the explosion shocked the league." The results of the Rockets were not ideal, but Yao Ming clearly expressed his confidence in the team.
Dayao and the Rockets uniform team spoke out at the same time, shattering the rumors of Dayao's transfer.
This also made the Houston fans breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, without Dayao's Rockets, the next thing is to rebuild.
When Su Yi was asked what he thought of the Huaguo Derby against Yao Ming, he cleared his throat and said, "As everyone knows, Yao and I are very good brothers. However, as a professional player, I will just try my best Get into the game and bring the perfect Christmas gift to fans around the world."
At the end of the interview, Su Yi was in the rest area off the court of the Rockets, and saw that Dayao seemed to have lost a lot of weight than before.
It can be seen that Yao Ming has listened to Dr. Thomas Carter's advice and is controlling himself to lose weight reasonably.
Although Yao Ming has not fully adapted to his current style of play after losing weight, injuries are actually the biggest enemy of this epic giant, and he will take this step sooner or later.
TNT TV live broadcast room.
"Yao Ming has not fully recovered from his injury, but this season he also scored an average of 15.2 points per game, but the Rockets' performance has not improved. This magical team has encountered the biggest trough this season. Can Yao Ming return to the peak? , Whether other players can adjust their status well, this is a realistic problem that the Rockets have to face." Barkley carefully explained to the audience, but he was thinking about the waiting of his family.
Fliggy yelled in his heart: "I hate Christmas wars. I want to go home and enjoy Christmas quietly with my family. I don't want to work today!"
"Yes. However, the biggest highlight of this game is obviously the duel between Super Su and Yao Ming. Who is the number one player in Huaguo. The affection between brothers and the confrontation on the court, this will probably be Funniest Christmas fight ever."
Kenny Smith picked up Barkley's words slowly and brought the conversation back to the league's ratings stunt.
In the final analysis, the Christmas War is just a commercial promotion activity, and its essence is business.
However, judging from the explosive heat of this game, Stern's business operation is really very successful.
The head coaches of the two teams are very shrewd, and Su Yi and Yao Ming are starting at the same time.
Bulls starters: Rose, Hinrich, Su Yi, Gibson, Noah.
Rockets starters: Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Ariza, Luis Scola, Yao Ming.
The one defending Su Yi was none other than Ariza, the Rockets' No. 1 small forward.
He is a strong defensive player, but when Su Yi found that Ariza entered the field, the field was dim, and there were even sparse boos.
It turned out that because he snatched McGrady's No. 1 jersey, McGrady could not retire his jersey with the Rockets.
In the hearts of the fans, Maizi's contribution to Houston is obviously not comparable to that of Ariza.
For the opening jump ball, Yao Ming took the ball firmly to the Rockets' side.
Noah expressed helplessness.
He stood next to Yao Ming, with a gap of 15 centimeters, which was simply the cutest height difference.
Yao Ming can easily touch the basketball in the air without much jumping.
Yao Ming quickly ran to the home court of the Bulls, and then made a pick-and-roll for his teammates.
The Rockets' offense was orderly. Dayao received the pass from his teammate, made a gorgeous low-post move, jumped to defend the giant Noah, and made a beautiful little hook layup, scoring two points.
Looking back, Su Yi also went all out in the face of Ariza.
After the actual matchup, Super Su really felt that it was really not easy for McGrady, who was famous for his defense, to get rid of his entanglement.
However, this obviously did not bother Su Yi.
Su Yi made a breakthrough and took a step back to the outside of the three-point line. Then, facing Ariza's interference, he quickly shot a jumper backwards.
Ariza obviously didn't expect Su Yi to be so reckless, so he jumped up to interfere after a moment of delay.
However, the basketball had already flown over his head, heading for the basket.
The audience in front of the TV were all anxious about the ball.
This ball was played too fast, why not find a better opportunity?
"Shh!"
The basketball crashes steadily into the center of the rim.
The mood of the audience in front of the TV suddenly turned into excitement and surprise.
When Su Yi threw this ball, he knew it must be there. Today's super good touch is the reason why he chose to attack like this.
Since it is difficult for me to break through your defense, then I will use my personal ability to let you know that no one can defend Super Su.
……
Sure enough, Su Yi and Yao Ming were very serious, which made all the audience in front of the TV very satisfied with this Christmas battle.
Under the hard work of Tessen, watching the NBA live broadcast on Christmas has obviously become an indispensable part of American life.
And seeing Yao Ming guarding the inside, Su Yi and Ross are all playing at the same time, they will choose a more cautious way to attack the inside.
After all, Dayao is a strong rim protector who even Shaquille O'Neal can't stand.
However, Dayao, who is obviously at full strength, his defensive coverage is not just a small piece of the basket.
Su Yi broke through Ariza's defense with great strength, and then rushed into the inside line, making a lightning-fast mid-range shot.
Unexpectedly, the excited Dayao came to Su Yi in a big stride, taking advantage of his height and arm length, he still interfered with the ball's flight trajectory.
"Boom!"
This ball really hit the iron.
Yao Ming saw the timing and took the defensive rebound firmly.
Huaguo NBA live broadcast room.
"This year's Christmas game is simply the welfare of us Chinese. Both Su Yi and Yao Ming are the pride of our motherland's basketball career. Today, two top Chinese players will show their demeanor and strength in this game. They are all stars who have proven their worth, and their professionalism and hard training are also recognized by everyone. Seeing their games, I am full of greater hope for the future of Chinese basketball."
Xu Jicheng, who has some white hair on his head, watched the performance of the two Chinese stars on the field and couldn't help admiring them.
Su Qun from Wuxi also said with emotion: "Xiao Su and Dayao are both in surprisingly good condition. Today's Christmas battle may become a classic moment. However, I think that no matter who wins in the end, they will give to the global community." The fans gave one of the most wonderful Christmas presents."
……
Looking back, Yao Ming played with his back in the low post. Just as he received the ball, Su Yi swooped and intercepted it.
Facing Brother Yao's challenge, the serious Super Su immediately showed his strength and retaliated.
Fans all over the world are frying pot online.
Under Yao Ming's outstanding performance, their Super Su did not fall into the slightest disadvantage.
Immediately afterwards, the tacit understanding of the RS combination, using Su Yi's precise long pass and Rose's wonderful dunk, gave the audience around the world a gorgeous visual enjoyment.
……
In the first quarter, the two sides were inseparable.
Su Yi scored 11 points, Rose scored 9 points, Yao Ming scored 11 points, and the three scored in double figures at the same time.
And the scores of the two teams were also very anxious, 28:28, no one could do anything to the other.
Obviously, this is a wonderful prelude, and everyone is looking forward to the next Christmas performance of these two Huaguo Derbys.
