Chapter 99
In this game, whether it was fans or media people before the game, the unanimous opinion was that the Rockets would easily defeat their opponents and give them two consecutive defeats.

Because there are two Chinese players playing in this game, this will be another "Chinese Derby". Moreover, Yao Ming's local popularity in Houston and the intricate relationship between Xie Kai and the Rockets make this game a breeze before it even starts. Topics are full.

At the Toyota Center today, many Asian fans came to watch the game.In today's league, more and more Asian players have entered, which also makes these fans have a lot of enthusiasm to watch these players play live.

Yao Ming has established his position in the league with his performance, and Xie Kai, a rookie, can he use his indisputable strength like Yao Ming to silence those doubters?

The game was explained by Charles Barkley and Bill Worrell, a well-known local radio commentator in Houston.

Yao Ming and Brad Miller prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

"Charles, your bet with Kanexie in public has been spread in newspapers and magazines. Are you really planning to kiss the ass of the donkey again? Hahahaha..." Bill Worrell laughed and drove Buckley away. joke.

Barkley said nonchalantly: "Yao's time, it's my mistake, but what I want to say is that I won't let the same mistake happen again and again. I don't think Kane has the strength to enter the best rookie team, that's how I am. Be sure!"

"Charles, I have a hunch you're going to lose again this time!" Bill Worrell laughed.

"Let's wait and see! Kane can't reach Yao's height, far from it!" Barkley said firmly.

After the start of the game, the away Kings entered the game first, starting with 7:2.But then, Yao Ming entered the attack mode, made consecutive hits, led the team to a small climax, and overtook the score.

Xie Kai replaced the veteran Garcia at 4 minutes and 02 seconds in the first quarter, and played with Bobby Jackson and Jason Thompson.

"Charles, Kane is on the field!" Bill Worrell reminded.

Barkley curled his lips and said, "I saw it!"

At this time, the score on the court was 20:16, and the Kings were 4 points behind.

Xie Kai is very excited, because he will have the opportunity to face the league's top No. 2 Tracy McGrady later.As a Chinese player who also plays the 2nd position, Tracy McGrady can be regarded as the object of his admiration in his youth. To be able to compete with one of his idols is probably the common wish of all young people who love basketball.

The Rockets attack and Aaron Brooks dribbles over.

Xie Kai entangled McGrady on the off-ball side and restricted him from receiving the ball.

"It seems that Kenny asked Kane to entangle Tracy." Bill Worrell said.

"That's for sure. Kane is a rookie who can't run out of energy. He won't let John go against Tracy, right? Look, Tracy will destroy Kane!" Barkley said solemnly.

As the No. 1 position, Xiaobu's passing skills are not outstanding. What he is better at is outside shooting and chaotic battles.Yao Ming wanted a position inside, but he didn't seem to see it. With the help of Scola's cover, he directly made a 3-point shot-missed!
Brad Miller grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Bobby Jackson to advance.

"Aaron played the ball too selfishly, Yao's position is so good, he didn't even make a pass!" Bill Worrell was a little dissatisfied with Xiaobu Lang's performance.

The Kings attacked, Xie Kai moved without the ball in the frontcourt, and McGrady was defending him.

Today's McGrady is no longer the athletic wing of the Raptors and Magic.Injuries such as back injuries have gradually turned him into a dry jumper.On the defensive end, the team will arrange him to defend against the non-main offensive points of the opponent's flank. Obviously, for Salmons and Xie Kai, he will naturally defend the latter.

Xie Kai had a lot of fun walking without the ball. The sleepy-eyed McGrady was a little annoyed and said in his heart, "Why are you running around like a rookie?"

Brad Miller is in the high position to support, he is very good at this job, facing Yao Ming today, if you ask him to go to the low position to forcefully eat the Great Wall of China who is 226cm tall and weighs more than 140kg, he will be eaten by the opponent.

Xie Kai moved around without the ball, used active running to get rid of McGrady, received a pass from teammate Brad Miller, cut into the basket, faced his compatriot Yao Ming who was 30cm taller than him, and passed the ball from the opponent's armpit. The ball goes to Jason Thompson.

Jason Thompson made a left-handed layup -- but no!
"Diamond" Luis Scola easily accepted the rebound and gave it to Xiaobu to advance.

"This is a pity. Jason's finishing ability still needs improvement!" Bill Worrell explained.

"Yao's deterrence at the basket is really amazing. Kane has passed the ball very well, but Jason is still afraid of Yao's blocking." Barkley added.

When the Rockets came to attack, McGrady couldn't get rid of Xie Kai. He was so angry that he came directly to Xiao Bu and got the ball.

The other Rockets players quickly pulled away. Obviously, McGrady wanted to thank him alone.

The fans at the scene started booing. In the United States, basketball fans like to watch stars single out their opponents, so teams like the Spurs and the Pistons in the past few seasons are not respected by NBA President David Stern. Will affect the league's attention and ratings.

If a superstar like McGrady wants to eat and thank him alone, he will not find his teammates to pick and roll.I saw him handsomely catching the ball with one hand, tall and tall, still looking sleepy, this posture is as handsome as he wants.

Xie Kai will not be foolishly admiring each other's charming posture like a fan worships an idol at this time. This is the NBA where the weak and the strong are preyed upon. McGrady is his opponent now, and he wants to beat himself and his team, so, At this time, there cannot be any overflowing feelings.

McGrady held the ball with one hand, and said to Xie Kai lightly: "Rookie, watch!" After finishing speaking, he immediately broke through with his right hand with a sharp lowering of the center of gravity. quick.

Xie Kai didn't know how many times he had watched McGrady's videos on TV and computer. He had also studied him in private and knew his routines.

But if you know it, you know it, and whether you can prevent it is another matter.In a hurry, he didn't have time to think, trying to ensure that he would not be passed by the opponent, try to stay in front of the opponent, and then seek the next move.

McGrady didn't pass Xie Kai, he pulled the ball behind his right hand to the left, and walked forward with the ball in his left hand.

Xie Kai struggled to keep up, trying not to lose his position.

McGrady held the ball beyond the 3-point line at the top of the front arc, and without shaking off Xie Kai, he directly pulled it up high and shot a 3-pointer...

Xie Kai jumped up and tried to block it, but he found that it was almost impossible to block it...

"Brush—" McGrady's 3-pointer hit!
