Chapter 36 This Man Is Back

Parking lot late at night.

The two giants sat in the car, and Cato finally opened his heart.

"Stone, you know what? I played for the Mosaics for years. I just woke up that morning and the whole world was telling me: You got traded! Do you know that feeling? No, you don't Got it, that damned betrayal."

This is why Kevin Cato has been negative.

The NBA is a business.

There are people who adapt quickly to trading and even seek out deals themselves.But some people can't adapt.

Many NBA players plummeted after the trade and quickly disappeared.

The same goes for Cato, who has resentment in his heart and can't play well.

"I know!"

Li Lei interrupted Cato: "Dawson gave me a draft promise, Yao Ming confirmed it, and Coach Jeff also hinted. But before I finished the interview, they were traded to Miami."

"..."

Cato was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this.

It turned out that Li Lei and he had the same disease.

Seeing Cato's mood swings, Li Lei strikes while the iron is hot: "Kevin, I am a victim just like you in this matter. Can you tell me why you only target me?"

Cato did not hesitate this time: "Because of Yao Ming, he stole my starting and my playing time. And you have the same skin color as him."

That's it!

Li Lei smiled wryly: He is taking the blame for Yao Ming.

After thinking for a while, Li Lei said, "Kevin, do you want to beat Yao Ming up? I'll help you!"

Cato: "???"

He thought he had heard it wrong.

Li Lei said: "Yao Ming is my compatriot, but in the NBA, we are rivals. It is only natural to want to blow him up."

Cato nodded, which seemed to make sense.

"Also, I want to blow up the Mosaic team. Although I said in front of the media that I don't mind, I do care in my heart! I want to slap them in the face and make them regret it. What about you?"

Li Lei stretched out his hand.

"Add me one, blow up the mosaic!"

Cato stretched out his hand and shouted, shaking the car continuously.

……

11 month 10 day.

The entire Heat team flew to Houston.

On the plane, Li Lei, Wade, Haslem, and Alston got together to chat about Blizzard's new game "World of Warcraft".

Coach Spoel also came over.

Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a warrior, muttering in his mouth: Heaven is on the left, warriors are on the right!

Suddenly, a big man came over.

It's Cato.

"I am a female blood elf paladin, let's form a team to clear the Stormwind Prison together."

Cato sat down and chatted happily with Li Lei and the others.

Si Bo glanced at Li Lei: The little guy has skills!

He talked to Cato, but Cato's resistance was very strong, but nothing worked.

And this kid Li Lei secretly got rid of Cato without knowing when.

……

When they arrived in Houston, Li Lei asked Coach Da Fan for leave.

Da Fan quickly agreed.

Although Li Lei is the youngest in the team, he has a very mature mentality, Da Fan is at ease.

Besides, Da Fan himself wants to visit his younger brother Xiao Fan.

You can't just allow state officials to set fires, but not allow people to light lamps.

Following Li Lei is Su Qun, who is now a team reporter for the Heat.

On Yao Ming's side, Zhang Weiping also followed.

The four of them went to Yao Restaurant for dinner.

Yao Ming still blamed himself a bit: "Shitou, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep you."

Li Lei waved his hand: "Brother Yao, you have tried your best, and you are not to blame for this!"

Seeing that Yao Ming was not completely relieved, Li Lei continued: "I am very good in the Heat. The team is a bit weaker, but there are many opportunities. I have already played a few games. If I stay in Mosaic, I can only mix Garbage time."

Su Qun chimed in and said, "Both Da Fan and Coach Spoelstra value rocks, and Wade's teammates also like rocks. Don't mix rocks too well."

"That's good."

Yao Ming finally felt relieved.

7pm the next day.

Toyota Center.

In the media broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun looked at the camera of CCTV.

"Friends from the audience, welcome to watch the NBA game. The first Chinese derby of the season is about to start. On one side is the Mosaic team where Dayao is, and on the other is the Heat team where Stone is."

"It is worth mentioning that Stone was a rookie selected by the Mosaic team, but was soon traded to the Heat. This is also a highlight of this game."

Both sides appeared in the ceremony.

The Heat go first.

Center Cato, power forward Odom, small forward Li Lei, shooting guard Jones, point guard Wade.

"The stone is starting again!"

Zhang Weiping was a little excited: "I didn't hear that Grant was injured. It may be the adjustment of Coach Stan Van Gundy."

Su Qun was also beaming: "Shitou starts the game, so the two Chinese players can play against each other from the beginning of the game. Coach Da Fan arranged for Shitou to start, which shows that he is very optimistic about Shitou and believes that Shitou already has the strength of an NBA team's starter. "

The Mosaic team played later.

Center Yao Ming, power forward Ellis, small forward Jim Jackson, shooting guard Mobley, point guard Francis.

The strength gap between the two teams is relatively large.

The Heat had 0 wins and 6 losses, and Mosaic had 4 wins and 1 loss, but it still did not affect many Chinese in Texas who drove to watch the game.

Mosaic team owner Alexander sat in the private room, with Dawson and Morey beside him.

Alexander pointed to Li Lei and asked, "You just got a second-round pick and gave away Cato's trash contract?"

Morey smiled, the fat on his face was so crowded that his small eyes couldn't see, he bent down and replied: "That's right. It's just that Lafonso Ellis and Anthony Carter still have a one-year contract, and the salary will be cleared next year." space."

Alexander nodded: "It's already very good, you did a good job! Cato's rubbish contract should have been cleaned up long ago, and it's not your fault."

It wasn't Morey's fault, whose fault was it?
Dawson felt bitter.

Alexander and Morey tried every means to squeeze him out. If they hadn't been veterans of Mosaic for decades and they had to take into account the feelings of the fans, Dawson would have been kicked out long ago.

Drop drop!
At this moment, the whistle sounded and the game began.

For the jump ball, Yao beat Cato and turned the ball back to his own half.

Francis took the ball and pushed forward, continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch to adjust the rhythm.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ellis put up the pick-and-roll.

With Ellis' big body, Francis successfully got rid of Wade.

Odom came up to defend, but how can the 208cm Odom keep up with the scud-like Francis?

With just one change of direction, Francis made Odom clean, went to the basket, and went straight up.

At this moment, Cato jumped up and slapped the ball hard with one hand.

Francis has top physical fitness, but he has done a lot of moves before, and now he has no room to dodge in the air.

Snapped!
Cato's block directly fanned the ball out of the baseline.

"Roar!"

After landing, Cato beat his chest and roared.

This is the anger and resentment he has accumulated for a long time.

The city he once fought for has betrayed him, so he's going to blow it up today!

Houston fans exclaimed.

Since Yao Ming came to Houston, Cato became at a loss and was finally traded by the team.

But today, this man came back, as an opponent.

He was once Olajuwon's successor and the most trusted big man in Houston.

ps: It was agreed to add an update yesterday, and it will be added today, and there will be two more updates later.

In addition, the road is slippery in rainy days, everyone be careful, you really can't stop driving, don't ask me why I know, people are in the claims center!
