Chapter 391 The dialogue between father and son, the so-called forgiveness and understanding
The Hornets defeated the Rockets 110-105 at home, which was not beyond people's expectations.
The overall strength of the Hornets is inherently better than that of the Rockets, which is also a recognized view by many people...
This game just proves this.
For Chinese fans, no matter who loses and who wins in this game, they feel that they are not so good. However, many people predict that the Rockets are unable to defeat the Hornets. In this way, they lose the game but are not as sad as the Hornets lose the game.
However, after seeing Yao Ming performing wonderfully on the court, they felt very uncomfortable...
In this game, Zhong Yu and Yao Ming performed very well. Yao Ming is the Rockets have been playing. He scored, grabbed rebounds, assists, and did a lot of work. He played for a total of 36 minutes in the whole game, scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 5 fouls at the same time...
Yao Ming's data is very luxurious, 30+10+5, and this data completely shows his style.
It is also because of his reasons, otherwise, today's Rockets will obviously lose much worse.
In the Hornets, Zhong Yu played for 34 minutes, made 14 of 20 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, making a very high hit, scoring a total of 36 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. In addition, he also contributed a steal and a block, and the data was also very luxurious.
Overall, Zhong Yu and Yao Ming's data are very good.
Both of them scored 30 points, which was a good performance.
Since Zhong Yu's outbreak, every time the Hornets face the Rockets, they can excite Chinese fans because this is the real Chinese derby.
Although Yao Ming and Zhong Yu are both inside and outside, the two have different positions and their roles in the team are also different.
However, they can all use their own efforts to influence the entire game progress, and the data is also very good.
In this game, two people scored 36 points and the other scored 31 points. Although the result could not be a draw between the two sides, it also made the Chinese players feel very satisfied.
Zhong Yu's outside offense is too powerful. Whether it is a breakthrough or a direct jump shot, the move is fatal, making the Rockets breathless.
In this game, Chris Paul scored 17 points and 15 assists, which continued his wonderful performance in the playoffs, with a large number of assists.
After the game, Zhong Yu came up to hug Yao Ming. Yao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "This is the case... we can hardly find a way to deal with you."
When Yao Ming was outside and comforting himself, he usually showed strong fighting spirit and never gave up. But now he was just with Zhong Yu, so he told the truth.
"Don't be discouraged... Or let you go to the next game." Zhong Yu said with a smile.
"Come on... Then I don't know what you are going to blackmail me!" Yao Ming thought for a while and then said, "I heard that your family is here... I'll go see them one day."
"This is OK!" Zhong Yu said when he heard this: "My dad likes you very much. If you go, you will definitely give him a surprise."
"That's true! How about this time tomorrow?" Yao Ming asked.
Zhong Yu nodded: "Of course! Then, let's come to my house for you to make delicious food."
"Okay. Then I'll make it so I'll cook and wait for me to come."
"Don't think of getting something for you without any effort. I'll leave something for you, otherwise I will feel unbalanced." Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Also, don't forget to bring gifts, otherwise you won't let you in. The gifts are too cheap, and you won't let you in!"
"How can there be a master who openly asks for bribes like this..." Yao Ming smiled exaggeratedly: "Okay, there are reporters looking for me over there, I'll go there first."
...
Zhong Yu had just said goodbye to each other when he was stopped by a black female reporter at the scene.
The black female reporter asked Zhong Yu: "You have won this game. Why do you think you can win?"
"Well, I think we've done a very good job on the offensive end," Zhong Yu said. "We can always shoot the ball we want, and I think that's the main reason why we can win. And the Rockets, they didn't defend our score, and the result was that we won the game in the end."
"In this game, you beat the Rockets with 36 points. Will your compatriots be angry with you for this?" the female reporter asked a little teasingly.
"Well... Yao Ming just now, he wanted to notify our country's upper class to cancel my citizenship..." Zhong Yu said with a smile.
"That's right! You can become an American." The female reporter said seriously at once, and it could be seen that the woman was a little anxious.
Zhong Yu really has nothing to do with joining Great America. Although there have been many immigrants in the past two years, he is not very interested in a country like Great America, which has a bright appearance but is actually full of poisonous sores.
"Ha..." Zhong Yu smiled and said, "I'm joking. Actually, Yao Ming and I know that this is the arena. Competitive sports are like this. It's very cruel. If some people win, there will be people who will fail. If some people rise, there will be people who will be lost... We can't avoid this. So, we will still be good friends. He is still a player like my brother. I will take him as an example and walk my NBA career well."
"Do you think you still have confidence in defeating the Rockets next game?"
"Defeating the Rockets is the whole team's business. I think we have made enough preparations." Zhong Yu ended with this sentence, and the female reporter let him go.
…………
"Yao Ming wants to see us!"
After hearing what Zhong Guoxiao said, he was a little excited.
"Well... don't be nervous, it's just a person anyway... it's just a little taller than you. Don't care too much. If you care too much, you'll feel embarrassed." Zhong Yu said.
"Yeah!" Zhong Guoxiao nodded.
Then he suddenly said, "I want to say something to you alone, okay?"
"What are you talking about..." Zhong Yu wanted to ask clearly. However, seeing that Zhong Guoxiao obviously did not mean to say it in advance, he did not ask again.
Zhong Guoxiao spoke to Zhong Yu in a negotiating tone.
Zhong Yu followed him outside. Now there were stars everywhere. The two of them came to the small balcony outside the hotel room. Then the two sat down opposite the table.
The stars on summer nights are shining, and from here you can see the bright lights of this city.
Zhong Guoxiao closed the balcony door casually, and the father and son were isolated in the balcony world.
"Zhong Yu... you are twenty-two years old too." Zhong Guoxiao suddenly said this without thinking. Zhong Yu was a little confused and just said no.
"I wasn't here on your birthday either. I wanted to bring you a gift, but I didn't know what to choose." Zhong Guoxiao said: "When I was a child, I bought you toys, bought you game consoles, bicycles, and birthday gifts. You were all very happy, but now I'm growing up. I don't know what I can give you, nor do I know what you need to give you now."
Zhong Yu was a little silent, and after thinking about it, he said, "Don't say that. As long as you relatives are still here, it is the biggest gift you can give me, which is more precious than anything."
Zhong Guoxiao's nose suddenly became sore. He really didn't expect that he would still hear this from Zhong Yu's mouth in his life.
He quietly closed his eyes hard and then opened them again, evaporating the tears inside. He then said: "It would be best if you can think like this. Everyone misses you very much. You are alone abroad. Although you have the attention of the whole world and so many fans, you will always have this and that kind of things when you are alone."
"I'm fine." Zhong Yu said, no expression on his face, but his eyes were firmly staring at the bright lights of the city in front of him, as if there was something on it that could stick to his eyes.
Zhong Guoxiao nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "At the age of 22, you are allowed to get married in China...Early here in the United States."
Hearing this sentence, Zhong Yu immediately frowned, and he knew what Zhong Guoxiao wanted to say to him.
Of course it was Scarlett Johnson! Scarlett Johnson had already met Zhong Rui and Zhong Guoxiao. That day she met Zhong Guoxiao very nervously.
As for the people of the Zhong family, Scarlett would just be worried about Zhong Guoxiao... As for Zhao Jing, she was not qualified to inquire about Zhong Yu's marriage, and she would also remain silent very consciously.
She knows these things.
However, Zhao Jing has a very good feeling about Scarlett. She is now a housewife at home and often watches movies when she has time. She has seen Scarlett in the cinema.
Now she thinks Scarlett is very good.
But Zhong Guoxiao...is different.
Zhong Guoxiao was very polite to Scarlett. Although he had to speak through Zhong Yu's translation, he was also showing his enthusiasm for Scarlett... But Zhong Yu was watching coldly, and knowing him, of course, he knew that Zhong Guoxiao was so enthusiastic about Scarlett just because she was the person her son recognized...
He may not have recognized this daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, now the meat show is coming! Zhong Guoxiao is about to start talking about serious things.
Zhong Yu frowned next to him, and then said, "Dad, just say something. After so many years, you don't have to beat around the bush."
Zhong Guoxiao wanted to get angry at that time - is there anyone talking to his father like this? But thinking about it, many things he didn't dare to think about before. Zhong Yu could treat him like that, occasionally joke with him, call him his father... He had never thought about such things before.
So he put aside the displeasure of this sentence and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, are you really going to marry a foreigner as your wife?"
Zhong Yu frowned even harder, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I like Scarlett, she likes me too. We feel comfortable together."
"Okay." Zhong Guoxiao nodded, then thought for a while before saying, "I know I shouldn't advise you, and you won't listen. I'll just say a few words... Are you sure that your cultural background and living habits can be completely in line with her? If it's really time to talk about marriage, will you stay in the United States for her? Or will she return to China for you? In the future, when your children grow up, they will become American nationality or Chinese nationality? Will your children agree with China, their Han ancestry, and will they agree with the 9.6 million square kilometers of land? These are all questions. Have you already thought about it?"
Zhong Guoxiao said it was a lot...
Zhong Yu frowned, suddenly stood up, and sneered: "Why do I have to think about these things? Let's talk about the future. I have already decided, I'm sure."
Seeing that there was no room for improvement, Zhong Guoxiao also asked: "If you don't want it now, it's too late to think about it in the future!"
"That's my business!" Zhong Yu said coldly.
There was a tension between the father and son.
When Zhong Yu's mother was alive, she often said that Zhong Guoxiao and Zhong Yu were definitely enemies in their previous life. Zhong Feng was gentle and Zhong Rui was weird but also a gentle girl at heart. At home, Zhong Guoxiao and Zhong Yu were stubborn as if two cows were met. When the two cows met, the horns on their heads became sharp and they were about to face each other.
Today, the horns of the two men became sharp again.
The two men stared at each other coldly without saying anything. Zhong Yu suddenly sighed and sat down again.
He suddenly felt that this was boring, that was his father.
Zhong Guoxiao also sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a lighter and placed it on the table, and wanted to smoke.
Zhong Yu took his lighter from the table and lit a cigarette for him. In the smoke, Zhong Yu suddenly said, "Don't smoke all the time. You often cough, which is not good for your lungs. You are not young anymore, why don't you start to study health care..."
Zhong Guoxiao took another beautiful breath, and after spitting it out, he said, "I want to suck when I'm upset, but I get addicted to it while sucking, and I can't quit."
Zhong Yu frowned and said, "How many things are really that difficult? Change is sometimes quite simple."
Zhong Guoxiao looked at him unexpectedly and saw the jumping reflective light flashing on Zhong Yu's face. This handsome son was really worried about his health at this moment.
He took another puff of cigarette, and then suddenly asked carefully: "Zhong Yu, can you be honest, what happened many years ago, you still don't understand me?"
Zhong Yu's heart was filled with a loud bang. The nameless fire rushed up very quickly, but it dissipated quickly. He didn't even expect that the fire would dissipate so quickly...
"I don't understand you, but I forgive you." Zhong Yu said: "My mother cried and wanted to let Rui and I live well, and said she would not hate you. She couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it. Now she figured out something, so she forgives you. But understanding... I don't know where to understand."
Zhong Guoxiao frowned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
