The Road to Godhood of a Basketball Kid

Chapter 48 China Derby
Today's Bradley Center has almost become the home of the Chinese. Zhang Yang's hot performance in the previous regular season games has won Zhang Yang a large number of fans.

Especially his explosive physical fitness and unyielding playing style. Before the game, sneaker sponsors such as Anta, Li Ning, Under Armor, Nike, Adidas, etc. had contacted Zhang Yang's agent Tang.

Anta is 1000 million US dollars in five years.

Li Ning is 1200 million US dollars for five years.

Under Armor is 800 million US dollars plus 5.00% of the shares for five years.

Adidas is 3 million US dollars for 1000 years.

Nike is $3 million for 1000 years.

What Tang means is that everyone should not agree, these sneaker contracts are not ideal.Stars like Zhang Yang are not rising, but will directly become superstars, so they don't need to wait.What they need is a super contract from a sneaker sponsor.

Two days before the game, the Bradley Center publicized the China Derby between Zhang Yang and Yao Ming. At that time, Zhang Yang's die-hard fan group in Chicago and Zhang Yang's die-hard fan group in Milwaukee immediately rushed to respond.

Zhang Yang is a person who plays every round seriously for the fans, even if the tickets have climbed to a very high position.Still can't stop the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

The Bradley Center also divided the fans of both sides into two camps. The Rockets fans in red jerseys are sorry, this is our home stadium, so you can only feel wronged and get 2000 tickets. As for those who don’t have one, there is no way.The rest of the positions are for home fans in green jerseys.

Many Chinese fans really don't care whose jersey they wear. After all, there are Dayao they have followed for several years, and rookie Zhang Yang, both of them are compatriots. As long as they play wonderful games, it doesn't matter who they support?
Sun Zhengping: "CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends, what you are watching now is the CCTV5 sports channel
The 2004-2005 regular season live broadcast for you, the Houston Rockets away game against the Milwaukee Bucks. "

Zhang Weiping: "This is a Chinese derby. The ticket prices on the sidelines are said to be quite high. The average ticket price has reached the level of the playoffs. It can be said that it is hard to find."

Sun Zhengping: "Yes, most of the ticket prices have already reached 1 RMB, but this is a contest between two Chinese players with the highest level of competition, representing the highest level of basketball in our country. I hope the fans will watch the game rationally and cheer for their favorite team."

The Bradley Center has entered the player introduction phase.

First up is the center of the Houston Rockets, the All-Star player, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's appearance drew a lot of cheers, whether it was Rockets fans or Bucks fans.Because of the relationship between the players, the fans of the two teams get along relatively well.

After Yao Ming, Juwan Howard, Bob Sura, David Wesley, and finally their head star McGrady played.

McGrady came out eating chewing gum, that naughty iconic smile, that naughty iconic smile, has always been a classic scene of NBA, played countless times, and finally became a memory of a generation.

The Milwaukee Bucks gave them a friendly ovation during the Rockets' debut.

Zhang Weiping: "It seems that these two teams are consciously becoming friendly teams."

Sun Zhengping: "It is the Chinese players who brought them peace."

The DJ was about to introduce the fans of the home team. Just as the music started, the more than 7000 fans in the entire Bradley Center shouted in broken Chinese: "Zhang Yang", "Zhang Yang", "Zhang Yang".

It was very embarrassing for the on-site DJ to be made like this. Fortunately, many years of experience told him that now he must replace Mo Williams, who was the first to appear on the stage, with Zhang Yang.

When Zhang Yang, wearing the No. 0 jersey, ran out of the player tunnel, the fans at the scene gave a loud shout.

It was followed by Mo Williams, Joe Smith, Dangard Zurizzi and finally Michael Reed.

Players from the two teams began to embrace, and Zhang Yang came to Dayao's side. "Brother Yao, I have dreamed of competing with you for a long time."

"Let's present a visual feast to the fans together." Yao Ming often takes the feelings of the fans into consideration.

The game is about to start, players from both sides come on the field, Yao Ming and Dangard Zuriqi jump the ball.

In 2004-2005, Yao Ming did not face serious injuries, and now he does not need to rely on crazy increase in tonnage to maintain his dominance at the center position.

Yao Ming, who bounced the little prince properly, gave the ball to McGrady very easily.

McGrady and Yao Ming, a good pair, have always been very friendly. Watching the fans standing up and shouting, Yao Ming wanted a position in the paint, and McGrady gave the ball to Yao Ming very empathetically.

Yao Ming has always been the rhythm master of the Eurostep. Now he is singled out against Dangard Zurzi, who is more than one grade behind him in terms of tonnage, height, and shot selection.

Yao Ming's fake shot made Dangard Zurizzi jump up. When the opponent fell, Yao tapped his toe and scored a dunk easily.

2:0
A large number of fans at the scene cheered together.

Mo Williams also directly served the ball to Zhang Yang. While dribbling, Zhang Yang gestured for everyone to pull away, and he wanted to play singles.

The opponent who is flamboyant is the opposing superstar, Michael Grady.

The picture of Medina eating chewing gum and smirking smirked all the time in Zhang Yang's mind.

McGrady said to Zhang Yang very friendly: "Hey, rookie, do you want me to give you a ball."

"That's not necessary, but I will break through from your left side, and then dunk, I pass your time. Don't foul and be the background emperor." Zhang Yang kindly reminded this idol he used to be on TV.

McGrady who doesn't take defense seriously is not a good McGrady.

McGrady signaled everyone to pull away, and Yao Ming on the inside also pulled away. He wanted to defend one-on-one.

Every NBA star has a face-saving issue on the court, although this rookie kindly reminded him.

Zhang Yang's quick dribble, a standard triple threat.

McGrady knew the rookie could drive and shoot threes and pass.

Passing the ball in a one-on-one match is a very shameless behavior, but McGrady must also be prepared to make a publicity step back and shoot a three-pointer.

Zhang Yang strode past McGrady by half of his body, and then McGrady hurriedly moved sideways and retreated, thinking to himself that this Chinese boy's first step was so fast.Believe me, I have such a traverse speed.Or really one step over.

McGrady has not had time to be happy.Zhang Yang's sudden retreat knew that you were going to shoot. McGrady had to be prepared in his heart. He leaped high after a big stride forward, and he didn't believe his own bounce, which would definitely interfere with the opponent's shooting sight.

However, he was wrong. Zhang Yang really wanted to break through this time. Zhang Yang's back heel did not move. Zhang Yang pulled back with his front foot and then turned around and dribbled the ball, followed by a big stride acceleration.Directly past McGrady in the jumping state.

He has very exaggerated long legs.

I saw Zhang Yang striding forward to accelerate, jumping one step from the free throw line, grabbing the ball with one hand and raising it high, Zhang Yang's head was even level with the basket. If there were some defensive McGradys under the basket, Zhang Yang's knees would probably reach the height of McGrady's navel.

The body is like a bow and a full moon, explosively splitting buckles with one hand.

Instantly ignited the arena.
