31. Thigh target - Steve Nash
"Artest killed him...handsome..."
Sun Ce cheered excitedly as he watched Artest break through and beat Aldridge to score two plus one. The score was stretched to 81 to 60, and there were additional penalties.
It was April 30, the sixth game of the series between the Rockets and Trail Blazers. Sun Ce was watching the live broadcast at home.
Although he knew that the Rockets would advance to the second round this year, Sun Ce was still very worried, especially since the Rockets were defeated by Roy in a game before, which made Sun Ce worried.
However, Artest performed very well today, scoring 23 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Especially on the defensive end, Aldridge was prevented from taking care of himself, and he led the team to a lead of more than 20 points!
This Rockets team is so different now that they have Artest, they have the feeling of a real strong team.
However, what makes Sun Ce regretful is that Tracy McGrady was reimbursed early. There are only two of the Rockets' Big Three left, and it will be difficult to face the Lakers in the second round.
In the end, it wasn't a big problem. With Artest's 27 points in a single game, Yao Ming's 17+10, and Aaron Brooks' 13 points and 10 assists, the Rockets slaughtered the Trail Blazers 93-72. Yao Ming scored for the first time in his seven-year career.
Round two!
…
Instead of calling Yao Ming immediately after the Rockets were promoted, Sun Ce waited until the next morning before calling Yao Ming.
After a few rings, someone picked up the call: "Hello, this is the Yao family..."
When Sun Ce heard the English spoken by the other party, he remembered that this is the United States.
Although it was not in Chinese, Sun Ce was still very excited by the familiar voice.
Called Yao Ming!
"You...you...Hello, Mr. Yao, I am Sun Ce." Sun Ce stuttered and forgot all the congratulations he had planned to say.
Then, a plastic Mandarin voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly quite excited: "It's Sun Ce, hello, little bully, I'm Yao Ming."
Little bully?
Sun Ce was startled when he heard this title. His own name for the system was "Little Overlord", but he immediately remembered that in ancient times, there was a Sun Ce called Little Overlord. He was named after the cheap dad in this life after watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
name.
In his previous life, no one called him Little Bully. It was the first time in this life that I heard it and it felt quite fresh.
Sun Ce finally remembered that he was calling today to congratulate the other party for reaching the second round, and quickly said: "Congratulations, Mr. Yao..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "You can just call me Dayao. Mr. Yao sounded too angry. Why, did you see me making it to the second round and come to congratulate me?"
"Okay, Dayao, besides this, I also want to thank you for letting Mr. Duffy come and help me participate in the draft."
"Haha, this little thing is nothing. He is my agent, so he should help me..."
Yao Ming is also very excited that his country has produced a guard who can score 20+10 points in a single game in the NBA, but it is a pity that his team may not choose Sun Ce, like Sun Yue before, and the Rockets management has nothing
interest.
But it can be of some help. If Sun Ce can really enter the NBA, Yao Ming feels that there will be more hope for the 2010 World Championships. He will be 30 years old by then and hopes to win a game in the knockout rounds of the World Championships.
Having one more NBA-level guard will qualitatively improve the strength of any country's national team except the United States team.
After chatting for a while, Sun Ce discovered that although Yao Ming was tall, he was not a man-eating demon... and he no longer had so many fears and worries.
The second round between the Rockets and the Lakers will start on May 3. Time is running out. Although it was very abrupt, Sun Ce still said: "Dayao, when you play against the Lakers in the second round, you should pay attention to the opponent's breakthroughs."
, those players on the Lakers love to have physical contact with the opposing center, and they have to be careful not to get injured. They have even injured their teammates."
Yao Ming didn't know why Sun Ce said this, so he smiled and said: "Little bully, don't worry, buddy, I'm very strong, come here and I'll kill each one!"
It’s true that they didn’t have much in common. After all, they weren’t familiar with each other. After saying hello, Sun Ce said something incomprehensible and didn’t know what to say next. He made an appointment to “have a meal together” without a specific time schedule. In fact, it was okay.
After just being polite, the phone was disconnected.
Sun Ce didn't know if Yao Ming would really take it to heart. He remembered that in the first game of the second round of this year's playoffs, Yao Ming injured his knee. Then in the third game, the ankle of the same leg was injured again. According to
The subsequent injury diagnosis could be said to be that the knee injury caused a chain reaction... Anyway, Sun Ce guessed based on the news he originally saw.
Whether this tragedy could have been avoided... Sun Ce didn't know, but by reminding him, he had done his part.
After all, he doesn't have many other abilities.
Yao Ming's problem has come to an end now. Let's do our best and let fate. Sun Ce has experienced so many family separations and is still very tolerant. He just regrets that Yao Ming retired prematurely and that Yao Ming helped him.
kindness.
His own affairs are the most important. Sun Ce puts these things aside and continues to devote himself to training...
…
…
"Nash is back for training? Okay, thank you, the money will be transferred to your account later..."
Sun Ce hung up the phone and transferred $100 to a staff member at the American West Arena.
On May 3, when Sun Ce saw the news that Nash had returned to Phoenix, he immediately went to find the staff at the American West Arena and bribed them. As soon as Nash started to return to the arena to train, he would be notified immediately.
.
I don’t know if it’s the “market price”, but the reward the other party asked for was $100, and Sun Ce agreed.
Today is May 10th, and Sun Ce's personal training plan is coming to an end. After the last four days of training from the 11th to the 14th, he can use the essence and blood strengthening card to get rid of "kidney deficiency"!
Nash is back, and the matter of "apprenticing to a teacher" can be put on the agenda!
"Humility: When the host is not the team boss, train with the team boss and learn the team boss's skills. The learning speed will be increased to varying degrees according to the system evaluation of the technology. The higher the evaluation, the higher the bonus."
Who is the best point guard today?
Steve Nash and Chris Paul.
Paul's physical fitness, he can jump, jump and dunk Howard...
Although Sun Ce had dunked on O'Neal before, Sun Ce couldn't learn Paul's tricks.
Nash, who is fast and has good touch, is someone Sun Ce might be able to learn from.
Originally, a better person to learn from would be TJ Ford, but this 26-year-old, who may be the fastest guard in NBA history, is already on the verge of retirement.
And in terms of skills among defenders, who is better than Nash? This is a technical maniac with basically no other talents except speed and endurance. His shooting measurements are S-level at the lowest.
Sun Ce has been thinking about how to ask Nash for advice and what to learn after Nash comes back.
