At the beginning of the regular season, the game between the Rockets and the Bucks set a ratings record, and all this made all parties smell the money.The game between the Celtics and the Bucks last month did not attract so much attention, because Yang Shuai and Yi Jianlian did not have such a big influence.

But this time is different. As the most popular athlete in China, Chinese fans pay attention to Yao Ming's every move. In addition, Yang Shuai's performance is getting better and better recently, and this game is once again hyped.

Unlike the game between the Rockets and the Bucks, the Bucks are too weak. Except in Milwaukee, their popularity is not high.But both the Celtics and the Rockets have performed strongly this year. In addition to the popularity of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen all have certain popularity in the United States and other continents. Especially Garnett, who is locked in the All-Star almost every year, is extremely popular.

The game between the Rockets and the Bucks set a record close to 25 billion viewers, but the official statistics of the NBA believe that the number of people watching the game between the Celtics and the Rockets may exceed 3 million.

The number of TV stations that broadcasted the game reached 26, 19 more than the 7 that the Rockets played against the Bucks at the beginning. The NBA official website also put the photos of Yang Shuai and Yao Ming on the top.

The official websites of the Celtics and Rockets are no exception. The media in both places are vigorously promoting the game, and the tickets were almost completely sold out as early as two weeks ago.

"#%￥#￥#￥" When the phone rang, Yang Shuai picked it up and glanced at the name, Yao Ming.

He got Yao Ming's phone number from Yi Jianlian in the last match against the Bucks. Originally, he planned to call Yao Ming after he came to Boston, but he didn't expect Yao Ming to call first. Looking at the time, Yao Ming should still be in Houston at this time.

"Hello!" Because he knew it was Yao Ming, Yang Shuai spoke Chinese.

"Hello, Yang Shuai, I'm Yao Ming." Yao Ming's laughter came from the other end of the phone, and Yang Shuai also laughed, "Hi, Yao, don't tell me you've arrived in Boston."

Hearing Yang Shuai's familiar greeting, Yao Ming was stunned. This guy is really not like him. "I'm still in Houston and I'm about to board the plane. I want to ask if you're ready to receive me."

Yang Shuai laughed and said, "Just come, I'll take you all over Boston."

"Is this a bribe? Let me tell you, I won't play games. I'll start," Yao Ming joked.

Yang Shuai laughed wildly: "Dayao, you don't need to let go of you when you beat you. Do you still want to win with me?"

After hanging up Yang Shuai's call, Yao Ming shook his head with a smile. Yang Shuai was indeed as arrogant as the outside world said, as if he didn't have the reservation and modesty of the Chinese people.

Before the game, Yang Shuai really met Yao Ming. They are both Chinese and in the same league. Although their personalities are very different, they chatted very happily.

"Friends from the audience, everyone is welcome to watch the 07-08 season nba regular season. Today's game is very interesting. The Chinese Derby will be staged again. The Houston Rockets challenge the Boston Celtics away. The two Chinese people, Yao Ming and Yang Shuai The first duel..."

"Maybe many people want to see the Chinese Derby, but I want to see the match between Tracy and Yang. I watched the game against the Lakers a few days ago. Yang's defense against Kobe was really amazing... "

"........."

When 26 TV stations broadcast the game at the same time, the fans are undoubtedly the happiest. They can choose the TV station they want to watch. In the United States, this game is also broadcast live across the United States. People group, Charles - Barkley, Kenny - Smith, Reggie - Miller.

When Yang Shuai stepped into the arena, he suddenly felt a little strange because there were too many familiar faces on the scene.It's not that he knows these people, but that he can find oriental faces almost at any time at a glance, which he has never found before.

At this time, Yang Shuai saw Yao Ming. He knew that the cameras were pointing at the two of them, so he walked towards Yao Ming on his own initiative. "Dayao, I found out that your popularity is beyond my comparability. There were not so many Chinese people who came to watch my games before." After hugging Yao Ming lightly, Yang Shuai spoke first.

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Shuai Yang, you must be jealous, haha."

Yang Shuai laughed and said, "Dayao, when the day my popularity surpasses yours, I will definitely send this sentence back to you."

"Yao Ming and Yang Shuai seem to be chatting very happily. Their positions are very different. There may not be too many head-to-head confrontations between the two, but the playing time should not be short..." The host of the imperial court said with a smile , at this moment, almost all the Chinese fans showed smiles on their faces. When Yao Ming and Yang Shuai stood on the nba arena, in fact, in the eyes of many people, they were already successful.

The Celtics' lineup has not changed. Paul Pierce jokingly said that he would give up to Yang Shuai, but neither Yang Shuai nor Rivers agreed.

For the Rockets, the center is of course Yao Ming, the power forward is Chuck Hayes, the small forward Shane Battier, the shooting guard Tracy McGrady, and the point guard Ralph Alston.

In this lineup, there is another figure that Yang Shuai is familiar with, Sean Battier, the gatekeeper of the first level. At the beginning, handsome Yang also had a lot of resentment towards him.

Yao Ming got the ball for the Rockets. Of course, everyone knew the meaning of this game, so Alstom dribbled the ball across the half court, waited for Yao Ming to settle down, and immediately passed the ball.

"Yao Ming, small hook, good shot! Yao Ming opened the scoring for the Rockets."

"It was Yao Ming again, catching the ball, turning his back, his footsteps were shaking, beautiful, Perkins was completely swayed by Yao Ming, and he hit the board with ease."

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming showed a strong desire to attack. The Rockets scored all four points in the opening game. However, the Celtics quickly adjusted their defense. Garnett deliberately put Hayes, who had no scoring ability, Let go and come to double-team Yao Ming.

This trick really worked. Yao Ming didn't have a good chance to attack for two consecutive rounds, but the Celtics seized this opportunity to overtake the score. 4:6, after 3 minutes of the game, the scores of the two teams were fixed at this number, and the score remained unchanged after 1 minute.

At this time, McGrady took the lead to break the deadlock, and he scored the ball with a trademark pull-up jumper from outside the free throw line.

"McGrady, they scored again. Will the Celtics make adjustments? Rivers should replace Yang Shuai." The commentator on the imperial platform said anxiously. If it was a game against other teams, he would It would definitely not be said to let the opposing coach adjust the defense, but it is different for the Celtics with Yang Shuai.

At 12:12, after 6 minutes in the first quarter, the two teams were tied. Rivers turned his head to Yang Shuai and said, "Yang, if I don't send you to play again, I will be torn apart by the eyes of the fans around me."

Yang Shuai, who was chatting with Chu Xiyun and Zhu Li, immediately stood up when he heard this. Since the start of the game, he has been preparing all the time, so that he actually didn't know what he was talking about with the two beauties.

"Yang Shuai is on the court, and Rivers finally sent Yang Shuai."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohood

Yang Shuai and Perkins passed by each other, which gave the fans in front of the TV infinite reverie. "Shouldn't Rivers let Yang Shuai play center in order to create a matchup between Yang Shuai and Yao Ming?" Of course, this idea was quickly rejected by them, because it seemed impossible.

Yang Shuai walked to McGrady's side, and Ray Allen walked towards Battier very cooperatively. At this moment, everyone's eyes widened. Only when two Chinese people are on the court is it called a Chinese derby.

The ball was handed over to Yao Ming after Alstom dribbled to the frontcourt. This time it was Pierce who was double-teaming. Yang Shuai, who was in charge of defending McGrady, did not step forward to join in the fun.

Yao Ming, who was double-teamed, wanted to pass the ball to McGrady, but Yang Shuai was tightly blocked between the two at this time.McGrady pointed upwards, signaling Yao Ming to throw it high, and at the same time he quickly stepped back, ready to receive Yao Ming's pass.

Sure enough, Yao Ming lobbed the ball high to the outside as McGrady indicated. However, after he threw the ball, he suddenly saw Yang Shuai retreating quickly and then leaping high.

"Yang Shuai and McGrady jumped up to grab Yao Ming's pass at the same time. McGrady retreated too far, Yang Shuai slapped the ball away, and Pierce got the ball."

"Good job, Yang!" Pierce rushed forward to grab the ball and shouted loudly at Yang Shuai.

McGrady really didn't expect that Yang Shuai would desperately retreat and fight for the ball, because he didn't understand Yang Shuai's inner thoughts. Although handsome Yang has been with Chu Xiyun for the past two days, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to this matter. Regarding his focus battle, Handsome Yang thinks this is his best chance to appear in front of domestic fans, so he decided before the game, this game, desperately!It's not so strange that handsome guy Yang grabs the ball if he does the calculation mentally or unintentionally.

The defense left to the Rockets in the Van Gundy era is still there. When Yang Shuai caught the ball, Chuck Hayes and Sean Battier had already retreated quickly. Pierce did not find a suitable opportunity after picking up the ball.

The ball was slowly dribbled to the frontcourt by Rondo, and Ray Allen was actively running, but he was surrounded by expert defensive player Shane Battier, which made him unable to find a good opportunity for a while.

At this moment, Yang Shuai, who was originally outside the three-point line on the left, began to run, seemingly running towards the inside, but Yang Shuai suddenly made a break line along the middle to the left of the free throw line after two steps. Garnett's blocking left Yang Shuai completely open at this time, and of course Rondo would not let go of such a good opportunity to assist.

"Yang, he shot the ball from 19 feet away, and the ball went in. It was beautiful! He scored immediately after playing. Is this the Yang we are familiar with? Okay, Chinese Derby, I am starting to like it a little bit."

"Good goal! Yang Shuai scored the goal too easily, and McGrady was careless in defense. However, the two Chinese players performed well after playing today. It seems that they attach great importance to today's game."

When Yang Shuai heard the sound of "shua", he raised his head high, as if he was afraid that the camera would not be able to capture his face, and then he shouted in his heart: "Shoot, hurry up and shoot in all directions." , Handsome Yang admitted that when he heard that 3 million people might watch the game, his performance began to swell.
