With Yao Ming, Rockets games always receive the most attention because they have a potential audience of 1.3 billion. Even if the Rockets' record is not very good in the league, they still have the most attention overseas.
NBA team, this fact really makes other teams in the league envious.
ESPN also chose to broadcast this game. In terms of predictions before the start of the season, ESPN predicted that the Lakers' record this season would be seventh or eighth in the Western Conference, while the Rockets would be fourth or fifth. This game
It will most likely be a preview of the Western Conference playoffs.
However, since the start of the season, the Lakers' record has been much better than previously predicted.
TNT sent out its own classic combination of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. What’s interesting is that both of them have connections with the Rockets. Barkley once hugged Olajuwon’s hand in order to get a championship ring late in his career.
Thigh, and Kenny Smith even won two championships with Olajuwon.
Of course, there is no need to talk about the incident of Charles Barkley kissing a donkey's butt. This incident has already been made known to the whole world.
Sure enough, as the initiator of this matter, Kenny Smith made a joke to Charles about this matter as soon as he came up: "Hey, Charles, we are commentating on the Rockets game together again. I like it here, last time
The situation is still fresh in my mind."
"Okay Kenny, it's no longer fun if you make the same joke a few times." Charles Barkley looked unhappy: "Anyway, I will never bet with the Chinese again. They are always very good at this."
Seeing Barkley refusing to take the bait, Kenny Smith immediately changed the subject: "Hey Charles, do you remember that rookie?"
"Which one?" Barkley stared, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Kenny, you know I am different from you. I make millions per second. There are more than 60 rookies in the NBA every year. I
How is it possible to remember them all one by one?"
"But you always have to remember those who performed better. For example, last month's Rookie of the Year, was it Charles?" At this point, Smith was not ready to give up: "Remember, you said he was a defender.
Coolie. But judging from his current behavior, he doesn't look like a coolie at all."
"Did I say that?"
"Do you need me to put vcr?"
"Okay Kenny, I said that!" Seeing that he could not deny it, Barkley admitted it, but then he thought of a better excuse: "But I was talking about Adrian at the point guard position.
, it’s Adrian who plays on the outside. If Adrian is just a pure point guard, then he can only be a defensive coolie guard who doesn’t even have three-point ability."
"you mean……"
"Of course what I mean is that Adrian should not stay at the point guard position to develop at all!" Charles Barkley said righteously: "Look at these games, he is on the offensive end.
Showed up low and had great results.”
"You mean Adrian should move to the low post?" Kenny Smith said with a surprised look on his face.
"Of course." Barkley nodded proudly: "On the outside, without the ability to shoot from a long distance, he can only become a first-class player at most, but it is different in the low post. Although he does not have the ability to shoot from a long distance,
Ability, but judging from his performance in these games, his mid-range shot is still very confident. In the low post, he is undoubtedly closer to the basket and easier to score. More importantly, Adrian has a very strong body
, he can defeat most of the league's low defenders in the low post. He only needs to strengthen his low post footwork and back-turn shooting ability, and he will become a brand new low post machine."
"Just like you?" Kenny Smith snickered: "But Adrian doesn't have a big ass like you."
"That's different from Kenny. He and I are not the same kind of low-post players. You have to know that NBA superstars who can truly achieve a career will develop in the low-post. Even Jordan, although he played on the outside at first, but in the middle
In the later stages, he also chose to attack with his back more often in the low post."
"You mean Adrian's post-up offense is very similar to Jordan's? Will he be the next Jordan?" There is no doubt that Kenny Smith is setting a trap for Charles Barkley again.
At this time, on the court, the players could not hear the discussion in the commentary box. As soon as he came on the court, Adrian noticed the big man who stood out from the crowd, doing shooting practice under the Rockets basket.
Not sure what he was thinking, Adrian walked over unexpectedly and said hello to the little giant: "Hello, Yao Ming, nice to meet you."
The big man who was warming up for shooting stopped in surprise. He was not surprised because someone greeted him. After spending several years in the NBA, he had already become accustomed to various social interactions. What really surprised him was that
Adrian, because from what Andri said, it turned out to be pure Chinese.
"Hello, Adrian." Yao Ming thought for a moment and then remembered the name of Adrian, a very popular rookie recently: "I didn't expect that you can speak Chinese so well, better than many Chinese.
alright."
"How could I forget that I am also a pure foreigner now?" Yao Ming's strange and guarded response made Adrian feel stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly in his heart. At this moment, he finally understood his identity.
Changes. Yes, even if the soul is still the same soul, the body is no longer the same body. Now he is called Adrian Cowelt, a native American.
"Oh, fortunately, my grandmother is Chinese, and I have studied Chinese with her for a long time since I was a child. To be honest, that experience was really painful for me. There are too many Chinese characters, and it is not like Latin.
There are only twenty-six letters. But the Chinese characters are really beautiful, each character is like a picture." Regarding this point, Adrian did not lie. His grandmother was really Chinese, but
In the past, Adrian would never have been so fluent in Chinese.
"She always talks to me about her motherland, Beijing City, the Great Wall, and Huangshan Mountain. I know she still misses that place very much. She has always wanted to find a chance to go back and visit. She always said she wanted to recognize her ancestors, but it was a pity that she waited until
When he passed away, he had never been able to make the trip."
"That's such a pity." Yao Ming also showed a regretful expression.
The two started chatting immediately. Yao Ming was very surprised by Adrian's understanding of China. In his opinion, even many overseas Chinese or Chinese living in the United States did not understand China as well as Adrian. Especially when it came to China's recent history.
Yao Ming is very proud of his development in various aspects over the past few years.
Yes, the Chinese people are very proud during this period. As the economic aggregate maintains a rapid growth momentum, and as China's influence continues to increase around the world, the world's attitude towards China has also had a huge impact.
With the changes, the national pride of the Chinese people is also constantly increasing. However, a series of "weird things" that happened in domestic and foreign politics later, especially with the continuous development of the Internet, enabled the Chinese people to understand the entire world more clearly.
Recognizing the gap between the reality of the world and the propaganda of the government, as well as the contradiction between the world in the news network and the real world, the Chinese people have become more aware of the weirdness of this country. Some people rise up to speak out, and some people are proud of it.
And because of his inferiority complex, he was self-destructive and self-destructive, and even made self-destructive and self-destructive remarks such as "America will be great in the next life."
This is an inevitable process of the development of a country. Only when the citizens' horizons become wider and wider, and they become more and more aware of the width and depth of the world, and also become more and more aware of the absurdity of what is happening around them, can they explode.
Give the power to change the world.
"If I have the chance, I would also like to see that country." Adrian smiled and said, "I am very curious about how the country in my grandmother's memory has changed dramatically."
"You'll have a chance soon, won't you? During the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, if you are selected for the U.S. national team, you will definitely come over to play. I'll treat you to a nice tour then."
