Chapter 181: The Little Giant Returns in Glory
Han Ankang, who successfully completed the check-in at a hotel not far from Yao Min’s house, did not forget to call back the girls who had been in contact with him during this period. He learned that Han Ankang had been transferred from Guba to Meilijian and would stay in Meilijian for a while. The girls who were busy with notifications every day were naturally full of envy.
He informed the girls who had contacted him during this period of time and agreed to strongly ask him to go to South Korea to compensate Xiao Crystal, who owed the last chance to play. After this trip to the United States, he would fly directly to South Korea to accompany them for a while, and also take a look at the situation of the two companies smoothly.
Little Crystal, who had received this promise, was naturally very happy. For her now, she felt very satisfied as long as Han Ankang could spend more time with her. And the girls who would come to South Korea soon after, were also full of expectations for this Chinese man.
In order not to favor one or the other, Han Ankang naturally had to call some people in China who care about his whereabouts and talked about his recent arrangements. For Han Ankang's blink of an eye, Liu Liting, who was choosing scripts during this period, really envied Han Ankang who could fly everywhere all over the world. Of course, she also knew that Han Ankang's footsteps had already gone further than her.
After handling the phone calls of these caring people, Han Ankang had a rare time to rest. With the next few days of free time, Han Ankang rarely walked out of the hotel. Apart from occasionally visiting Yao Min's house, he was to stabilize the cultivation level he had made last breakthrough. He tried to advance to the middle stage of fasting as soon as possible, and then he was looking for an appropriate opportunity to try the simple alchemy technique.
Although he knew that as his cultivation level grew, he needed to learn more and more things, Han Ankang was still happy with these things that could improve his medical skills. For him, the things inherited by Taoist medicine are worth his life to explore. It is said that the sea of knowledge is endless, but on the road of traditional Chinese medicine, Han Ankang also felt that he had to learn too much.
He stayed in the room to practice and read books every day, and occasionally accompanied Yao Min to the basketball court to practice football. Han Ankang also felt that he had a good life. Until Ye Li's due date came, she was sent to the hospital for delivery for less than half a day, and successfully gave birth to a baby girl, which made Yao Min, the little giant, finally have his own bones and blood.
With the help of Han Ankang, a miracle doctor, Ye Li returned to the villa to recuperate one day after being admitted to the hospital. All the ideas were lost. It was not until seven days after Ye Li gave birth to her baby that Yao Min officially announced to participate in the next team's game with the Lakers through the team's official website. For a time, tickets for this game were hard to come by.
China, far away from the ocean, is also looking forward to Yao Min's comeback for nearly a year. In this preseason game with the Lakers, can Yao Min lead the team that did not last season to achieve a good start. Soon, he specially sent a crew to live broadcast the first game of the little giant's comeback. There are also several beautiful TV stations that are the same as China.
This alone shows that the profits that Yao Min can create in the NBA are not comparable to ordinary basketball stars. With a country with a population of nearly 1.3 billion as a backing, its additional effect is not comparable to other basketball stars. In comparison, after learning about this news, the Lakers felt disapproving.
Even the Lakers coach said that for Yao Min's career considerations, he hoped that the Rockets would not be able to make Yao Min, who was still in recovery, play in the first game. Otherwise, if Yao Min was injured again in the game, the Rockets would probably be completely ruined this season. It can be seen that Yao Min's injury has indeed reduced his threat to some strong teams.
Faced with such verbal quarrels before the game, Yao Min has long been accustomed to telling those people with facts that he is no longer the glass giant when he returns to the field. Now, his physical health has even reached the moment he has just entered the NBA. With the experience accumulated in the NBA over the years, he has returned to his strongest form and even he is looking forward to what results he can achieve.
In this trouble, Han Ankang took the ticket sent by Yao Min himself and entered the guest room under the protection of Jiang Minghao and others, preparing to watch the game himself. See what good results this little giant can achieve in tonight's game. At the same time, he also hopes that Yao Min will stage a unique skill that shocks the stars.
When Han Ankang, who was sitting in the box, saw Yao Min enter the court wearing the Rockets' jersey, there were shocking cheers sounded. Even Kobe, the leader of the Lakers, sighed that this big man's reputation in the Rockets was really unmatched. But for this equally competitive Lakers star, he also wanted to take away the team's first victory away tonight.
Seeing Yao Min actually starting, the Lakers coach was somewhat surprised. He knew Yao Min's physical strength very well. Many times he couldn't hold on until the whole game. Isn't this starting point a snatch? Soon he didn't say much, and also lined up all the main players, intending to suppress the unfavorable situation in the away game.
As the referee blew the whistle in his mouth and threw the basketball in his hand high, the Rockets' opening game this season officially started. Seeing Yao Min still like he used to, seeing the Lakers grab the ball, he soon followed the players to the basket to defend. The first defensive follow-up attack battle also started as the players on both sides moved quickly.
Facing his former teammate A Tai who was holding the ball, he rushed in without hesitation and planned to score a jump shot above his head. Yao Min also jumped up very simply, and his huge slap was swinging directly into a big hot pot cover. The court that had just been pulled out the game caused a burst of thunderous applause as Yao Min's clean and neat hot pot.
Atae, who knew Yao Min's injuries very well, did not expect that this little giant would dare to jump at this time. You know, this kind of jump may not be a big problem for others. But for a team member like Yao Min who has both legs injured, every jump will have an impact, aggravating the possibility of his injury recurrence. But Yao Min even jumped!
Ignoring A Tai, who was a little stunned, Yao Min saw the basketball back in his hand after slapping the basketball. He quickly moved his body and ran to the opposite basketball court. As the defender of Yao Min today, A Tai naturally returned to defense quickly, hoping to regain the face of the hot pot just now.
However, against Yao Min who entered the basket, few people could defend his hook shots, and A Tai was the same. After watching Yao Min catch the ball, he ignored his squeezing and hooked up to the first two-pointer in the game. Then he clenched his fists and ran to the opposite court. When he looked at the Rockets fans next to him, he also felt that this was the Yao Min they were familiar with.
Until the game began to be staged alternately, the Rockets failed to reach the point difference, and the Lakers were also desperately catching up. During the halftime break, Yao Min quickly proposed to ask for more ball rights. He planned to take out the secret weapons he had trained with Han Ankang over the past few days, so that these people could understand how much his strength has increased this time.
Seeing Yao Min so confident, the Rockets teammates love this player very much, and his coach also knows it. If the score between the two sides is not widened, it will be very difficult for the Rockets to win the first round. Compared to the Lakers being suppressed in the first half, the coach knows more clearly that this is Yao Min's help. If Yao Min didn't support the game under the basket, the Rockets would not be able to determine the lead.
When the midfield ended, the Lakers coach who thought Yao Min would be replaced, but saw Yao Min, who would usually replace the rest in the game, led the team to play again. Seeing Yao Min appearing again, the Lakers coach who also knew that there was no main force that could not be suppressed could only send the main force again, hoping to pull the game into garbage time as soon as possible.
But after the kick-off again, I saw Yao Min, who usually rushed to the basket, actually started to move around the periphery. The Lakers players were a little puzzled, but when Yao Min, who got the basketball outside the three-point line, began to make shooting moves, many fans felt that it was a bit too strange to let Yao Min, the center forward, shoot three-pointer!
But as the basketball entered the net hollowly, Yao Min waved his hands and roared, and the fans also applauded warmly for this three-pointer. But in the eyes of Kobe and others, they felt that this three-pointer should be a chance.
As a result, when the Lakers failed to attack, the rebound was taken off again by Yao Min without any hesitation and threw it to the players to launch a counterattack again, he watched Yao Min run out of the three-point line and receive a pass from his teammate again. After receiving the ball, Yao Min had no extras at all and directly shot and scored again. These two three-pointers made the difference between the two teams reach two points at once.
If the previous three-pointer was luck, then this three-pointer was not a lucky ball. A shooter who can score both inside and outside undoubtedly made the Lakers more defensively increase their defense against him. However, compared to Yao Min's figure, as long as the basketball is caught in their hands, it is difficult for them to defend themselves.
Even seeing Kobe who was forced to fight back and personally defended Kobe, he felt that Yao Min, who had played many dealings, was in an amazing state. In the past, he squeezed some of the opponent's center of gravity, but this time he found that the squeezing defense could not squeeze the opponent. Just as he was stunned, Yao Min threw the ball into his hand and successfully scored two points.
The shooting inside and outside made the fans who watched Yao Min come back become ecstatic. The fans on the court expressed their greatest enthusiasm for the unexpectedly good condition of the star. By the end, Yao Min scored two three-pointers again, and the score difference between the two teams had widened by more than 20 points, which means that the game had almost entered garbage time.
