Houston's recent situation is actually quite miserable.

The Pacers only injured a little O, and Houston has a long injury list that can be used to make up another set of starters.

But then again, it is useless to give Houston enough bench players.

Because one of the big hobbies of the head coach of the Red Team Fan Tutou is to fuck the main force!

Although he was fighting against the Red Team in the preseason, he deliberately let Yao Ming play for only 20 minutes.

But as soon as we entered the regular season, the true face of this guy was completely exposed.

Now it's just the regular season, he has begun to be crazy about eight-man rotation.

Well, Thibodeau was just working as a defensive coach under Van Bald Head.

It seems that the seeds of the main force who died have long been planted in Thibodeau's heart.

It was simply because Yao Mai's health was basically nothing wrong this season, which gave Van Gundy the confidence to fuck him wildly.

When encountering such a coach, Wayne felt heartbroken for Chairman Yao.

It is really miserable to increase weight while operating at the same time.

At noon the day before the game, Wayne and his teammates arrived at Houston International Airport.

As soon as I got off the plane, a group of Chinese fans came to greet me.

Houston during this period can indeed be regarded as the home court of Chinese players in the United States.

The atmosphere was quite good.

If there wasn't that fucking thing many years later...

Forget it, now is not the time to think about those things.

"Oh, you're very popular here." Gangtai, who was wearing sunglasses, got off the plane and waved to the fans, posing as a star.

After all, he is the star of the company now. If you don’t care about anything else, you must keep up with this style.

"You are really confident." Wayne glanced at Sengtai. If you want to tell me how capable this guy is, he was also one of the top ten MVP rankings last season.

But...it just feels unreliable, unreliable!

In the original history, if Xiao Ao was suspended for one season and if Arte was led by the team, it is a question whether the Pacers can still reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

"Oh, isn't it just the Houston Red team? It's currently 18 wins and 17 losses, and can only rank ninth in the West. What are you afraid of? Winning is not easy to win?"

Gangtai waved his hand, looking indifferent.

To be honest, only Chinese fans and media regard the Red Team as a championship team.

Most American fans view the Red Team, in fact, is the same as Artay: "They are just that, they are playoff teams, but they are just playoff teams."

"Your opponent was the scoring champion last season."

"The scoring champion is just right for the best defensive player! I am familiar with my shooting percentage, and I like playing such a player the most."

Well, McGrady, who just performed a 35-second and 13-minute miracle half a month ago, looked like a rookie in Arte's mouth.

With Atai's confidence in honey, the Pacers team got on the car.

On both sides of the bus, many Chinese fans raised their signs to welcome Wayne's arrival.

If you don’t know, you think the Pacers’ home court is in Houston.

In the eyes of most Chinese and Chinese fans, this game is an exhibition match or a friendly match.

As for the Chinese derby, no matter who wins the victory in the end, as long as Yao Ming and Wayne play well, it will be a win-win situation.

So, they can welcome their opponents with a smile.

In Stern's view, this is a big show that attracts the Chinese market.

Is winning or losing important? Ratings are the most important.

Therefore, this game lacks the tit-for-tat flavor.

But Wayne doesn't view the game that way.

Although he respects Yao Ming very much, this does not mean that Wayne doesn't care about victory.

On the contrary, he was extremely eager to win.

In the first game of injury, all Western fans were waiting for Wayne to overturn, and the big Onmyoji of Xiao Si was even more disgusting on the TV.

Wayne really doesn't want them to succeed.

So even when facing Yao Ming, Wayne will never lower his requirements.

As for the NBA, he and Yao Ming are opponents.

The opponent must knock it down.

In the evening, Yao Ming invited Wayne to sit at his Houston home.

To be honest, Wayne is not used to visiting his opponent's house before the game.

But Yao Ming quickly relaxed Wayne with his affinity.

"So, will you start in the next game?" Sitting on the sofa, Yao Ming and Wayne chatted in Chinese, very kind.

"Well...I...How can I not tell you?" Wayne almost let it go. Chairman Yao is not simple!

It actually took my words!

Damn, I almost leaked the starting lineup for the next game.

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect you to be like Yao Ming like this!

There are routines everywhere in the NBA!

"Hahaha, who else can you play besides you? You can only play the starting position as a power forward."

"I didn't say that, what if I continue to hit the sixth person." Although it was easy to guess Yao Ming, Wayne still had to try to pretend to be "You guessed wrong".

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about the competition. Last night, did you see the show that Stoudemire participated in?" Yao Ming changed the topic and did not tease Wayne again.

"Look."

"Just S is just like that. How can I say that, most American players are like this. They speak more directly and then rudely. You have to get used to it and then accept it.

When I first started, many people said to me. Don’t be affected by these things. If you play the game well, everyone will shut up."

It can be seen that Yao Ming is a little worried that Wayne will be influenced by the other party's sarcasm and is trying to help Wayne with psychological counseling.

But Wayne's response surprised Yao Ming: "It's okay, I'll just be more rude than them. How can I say it? It's just a group of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong. Give him some sunshine, he can go to heaven.

Such people will be obedient after being beaten up, and I will not be affected by them."

"This..." Yao Ming shook his head. Indeed, Wayne's personality is like this.

And his words said it was a hard beating... it was a real beating!

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Auburn Mountain.

Yao Ming still remembers how shocked he was when he saw Wayne riding a big book in the newspaper.

Let me put it this way, he broke a glass that morning because of this.

Yao Ming is most of the time in the NBA. To put it bluntly, he is still relatively restrained and humble.

Even the occasional roar and shouting gives people a feeling of being held back.

Wayne and Yao Ming are just the opposite. He prefers to release his emotions. Anger means anger, and happiness means happiness.

This made Yao Ming wonder what it would be like if they worked with the national team.

After chatting for a while, Wayne said it was getting late and it was time to go back and rest.

Yao Ming also stood up and sent Wayne to the door.

"Then, play well in tomorrow's game."

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, I will play better than in the pre-season. Then... I don't wish you good performance. If you perform too well, I will lose."

"Hahahaha, I know now why Stodmeier hates you."

This little mouth, like a smear of honey, can it not be "liked"?

The next day, two Chinese giants gathered again at Toyota Center.

However, compared to the preseason, this real-life game has attracted more attention and the scene is even more popular.

Before the competition began, the Toyota Center arranged a series of opening performances with great Chinese characteristics.

All Chinese acrobatics, dragon and lion dances, etc. were performed.

It just so happens that the New Year is still half a month away, and this set of performances can also give Toyota Center a bit of a lively atmosphere for the New Year.

Yao Ming is not surprised by this. Since he came, Toyota Center has often performed such performances.

Everyone on the Pacers were stunned as if they were entering the city for the first time.

"Why didn't it fall off with so many bowls on this head? Is Eastern Witchcraft??"
