The China Power of NBA

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bai Xiaofei was wearing a backpack, alone, and wearing a black basketball uniform, standing under the huge gatepost of the Toyota Center Arena in Houston. Although he was only at the door, Bai Xiaofei still heard a burst of rhythm coming from the arena. The sound of slapping a basketball eagerly.

Bai Xiaofei pursed his lips, then strode in, opened the door, and walked in.

The Toyota Center is the home court of the Houston Rockets, which can accommodate 18300 fans sitting on the sidelines to watch the game. The home court has been moved to the Toyota Center. The luxurious facilities, the number of private rooms, and the level of luxury here are even better than the New Orleans Arena, the home of the Hornets!The 2003-degree large screen above the stadium is the largest three-dimensional screen in the United States!
On the court, there are two extremely tall players fighting against each other. Both of them are already sweating profusely. One of the players has an amazing height, short sleeves, and a broad and square face with an incomparably dignified expression. More importantly, Surprisingly, this player is a yellow-skinned, black-haired Oriental!Yes, he is Yao Ming!

The person opposite Yao Ming is taller than two zeros, also has short hair, but has black skin, a dry and thin face, revealing high cheekbones and deep-set eyes. He has a beard, and his black sleeveless training suit has been soaked with sweat. His lower body is black shorts, and his left hand is wearing an elbow pad. Bai Xiaofei recognizes him. It is impossible for all Rockets fans not to know him. He is Hakeem Olajuwon.Although he has been away from the arena for many years, he still maintains a good figure, and his strong muscles seem to have no trace of fat.

Bai Xiaofei sat quietly next to the player tunnel, quietly watching the confrontation between Yao Ming and Olajuwon.

I saw Yao Ming took the ball and hit Olajuwon with his back. The latter put his right hand on Yao Ming's waist. It can be seen that Olajuwon did not use too much strength. Wang took a big step back, and Yao Ming turned around and used his signature right hand hook to firmly send the basketball into the basket.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The basketball goes through the net, falls to the floor and bounces back.

Olajuwon bent down, picked up the basketball, patted it a few times, and said to Yao Ming,
"Yao, I assert that no one in the league can block your hook now," Olajuwon said with a smile, "Now you don't need any fake moves at all, you only need strength and a strong body. It will be unimpeded in the restricted area."

Yao Ming didn't speak, but kicked his left foot vigorously.There was a uncomfortable expression on his face. All of this was seen by Olajuwon. He put down the basketball, walked to Yao Ming, patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said,

"Yao, when you entered the league, I planned two paths for you. One is a dexterous center, small in weight, but flexible, just like Sean Bradley, which can make your career Longer, but you won't have a great career. The second type is a center with a strong inside. It turns out that you have become a superstar in the NBA, but the huge weight will oppress your joints, and your career will be because of Shortened due to frequent injuries, you told me very firmly at that time, I choose the second, do you regret the path you chose now?"

Yao Ming looked at Olajuwon, with a faint smile on his face, and said,

"I don't regret it! I never regret it. Even if there is only one season of brilliance, it is better than ten seasons of obscurity. At that time, I was looking forward to becoming a strong man, not one who was ravaged by the strong and forced to smile. clown!"

Yao Ming's words hit Bai Xiaofei's heart hard like a sledgehammer!
Olajuwon nodded approvingly, then said with concern,
"Yao, I suggest you only play half of the games this season, and don't participate in any form of professional games after the season is over, and take good care of your feet. In this way, maybe you will play a few more seasons."

Yao Ming smiled wryly, then shook his head lightly, turned around and picked up the basketball on the ground, and said,

"Why don't I want to rest, but I really can't. The team left Tracy McGrady last year in exchange for Martin. Although Martin is also a very good player, he is not yet the top five or even top ten shooting guards in the league. Recently, the team's record is not very satisfactory. From the current point of view, whether the team can reach the playoffs in the tragic Western Conference will not be known until there are only one or two games left in the season, so every Every game is very important to us. In every game, we must show [-]% fighting spirit to fight against the opponent. As the leader of the team, how can I abandon everyone, abandon the team and ignore it? Get time to rest."

"You will have a rest period of up to six months at the end of the season. I advise you not to participate in professional games anymore. You have to think about your body." Olajuwon looked at Yao Ming's generous face and said, "Short The rest is for a more powerful explosion tomorrow."

Yao Ming patted the ball, shook his head again, and said,

"No, Dameng, China is different from the United States. Every Chinese must contribute their own strength to China. This is a mission, a responsibility, and an honor. Except for injuries, there is no excuse. After this season , and the Stakovic Cup, the World Championships, the Asian Championships, these games need me, just like the Rockets need me now, at this time, I can't shrink back, I can hold my head high, Hold up the Chinese flag and go forward!"

Olajuwon could only shake his head helplessly when he saw that Yao Ming could not be moved. As an American, Olajuwon would never understand the pride and glory of the Chinese fighting for their country.

Yao Ming patted the basketball and said to Olajuwon, "Dameng, don't talk about these, let's play another ball."

Olajuwon nodded and said, "This time attack with the ball."

Yao Ming holds the ball in his waist with both hands, and Olajuwon blocks in front of Yao Ming. Yao Ming uses the basketball to feint continuously to move away from the attacking space. Yao Ming did not break through the offensive line, but turned around suddenly after taking a dribble, raised the basketball high above his head with both hands, and shot!
Yao Ming's turnaround shot has become Yao Ming's unique stunt just like his big hook. Yao Ming is tall and his shooting posture is straight arms, which means that his arms are hardly bent, and he only relies on the strength of his wrist to throw the ball. Therefore, Yao Ming The release point of the shot is very high, and Yao Ming's back turn has a little recede. Almost no one can block his shot. What's even more frightening is that Yao Ming has a soft touch comparable to the league's top point guards, which makes the defense People simply can't parry it!
"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The basketball bounced on the floor, bouncing and bouncing all the way, until it rolled and landed at Bai Xiaofei's feet.

Only then did Olajuwon see the young man who had been sitting on the sidelines.

Bai Xiaofei took off his backpack, picked up the basketball, and walked slowly to the center of the court.

Olajuwon looked at Bai Xiaofei, suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Yao Ming, Yao Ming smiled slightly, and said,

"Dameng, don't be confused. I called him here. He is also from the East. He is from the same country as me. He has excellent physical fitness and basketball talent. This time he came to the United States. I hope you can do well. Teach him."

Olajuwon suddenly laughed and said to Yao Ming, "Yao, you know me very well. If I am not an NBA-level player with enough talent and basketball IQ, I will not teach it."

"Of course," Yao Ming chuckled, "I think he will be the type you like. "

Bai Xiaofei walked up to Yao Ming and Olajuwon, offered the basketball with both hands, and said respectfully,
"Hi, senior! My name is Bai Xiaofei. I'm from China. I'm your fan. I grew up watching your games. I'm really excited to see you alive this time. I hope you can teach me some of the skills of a center forward." Tips, I would be very grateful!"

Although Bai Xiaofei was very excited, he said these words without a trace of emotion, and his language was blunt and not fluent.

Olajuwon smiled, looked at Yao Ming, and said,
"Only you can teach these words."

Yao Ming smiled, but said nothing.

"Okay," Olajuwon picked up the basketball and patted it. The basketball hit the floor and made a "bang bang bang" sound. Olajuwon said, "Bai, show your housekeeping skills and talk to me." Bit five balls!"

"What! Five balls against you!"

Bai Xiaofei was taken aback. He didn't expect that he had just met Olajuwon, and he was about to see the real chapter on the field!

Yao Ming retreated behind the basket, Bai Xiaofei held the ball at the top of the three-point line, Olajuwon opened his hands, somehow, Bai Xiaofei saw Olajuwon defending, and he unconsciously felt a sense of offensive oppression.

I actually faced up to the Rockets' legendary star Olajuwon!
Bai Xiaofei never dreamed that such a plot would happen to him.

"What are you waiting for, let's start!" Yao Ming said standing aside.

Yao Ming's words brought Bai Xiaofei back to reality. Features are just fine!

Bai Xiaofei frowned, and there was an inexplicable aura on his body, an aura that even the defenders dare not underestimate!Yao Ming's expression became serious. To be honest, it was the first time he saw Bai Xiaofei with such an aura!
"here we go!"

Bai Xiaofei shouted!
"OK!"

Olajuwon's eyes were only on the basketball in Bai Xiaofei's hand, and Bai Xiaofei decided to use his most familiar back for the first attack!I saw Bai Xiaofei holding the ball for a while, then turned around and pointed his butt at Olajuwon. The latter put his right hand on Bai Xiaofei's waist. To the pain of an iron bar!

Bai Xiaofei bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and then pushed back hard. Unexpectedly, the force on his waist that was evenly matched with Bai Xiaofei disappeared instantly, and Bai Xiaofei easily crushed into the inside line and hit the basket Hit the board to score.

Bai Xiaofei didn't understand what kind of medicine Olajuwon was selling in this gourd. Perhaps, if a superstar like Olajuwon was against him, he didn't even bother to use his full strength.

Bai Xiaofei turned his head, but saw Olajuwon pick up the basketball without looking back, took a picture of himself beyond the three-point line, stood still, and said to Bai Xiaofei,
"Come and defend! It's my turn!"

Bai Xiaofei stood between Olajuwon and the basket like an iron tower, and Olajuwon thought to himself,
"It looks interesting."

Olajuwon held the ball with his legs open, and suddenly he rushed to the right side of the basket. Although Bai Xiaofei was heavy, his speed was not slow, and he just stuck to Olajuwon. Suddenly the basketball flew up, and Bai Xiaofei quickly jumped to block the shot!

Fake action!
Olajuwon hung the basketball in the air with one hand with his right hand, and used his signature feint to fool the young Bai Xiaofei. Bai Xiaofei, who was flying in the air, could only watch helplessly as Olajuwon lowered his hand easily. basket score.
