Chapter 1 Brother Yao, I want to play basketball
2005年1月5日，主场作战的休斯顿火箭队面对来犯的强敌菲尼克斯太阳，最终以98：108告负，作为火箭队内线核心的姚明，出场28分钟，11中6拿到14分10篮板1抢断1盖帽的数据。

As the core of the team's outside line, McGrady played 42 minutes and hit 25 goals with 8 shots. He hit an astonishing 32% shooting rate and scored 24 points.

Especially in the first quarter, Yao Ming played more than 7 minutes and only got one shot!
When the game ended, it was already very late. After attending the press conference, Yao Ming hurried into the underground parking lot of Toyota Center.

At this moment, a Chinese youth suddenly rushed out from the shadows and shouted, "Brother Yao!"

The familiar Chinese stunned Yao Ming for a moment, and then he saw the figure rushing towards him like the wind, posing in a frustrated posture: "Coach, I want to play basketball!"

What the hell is this?

Yao Ming, who lost the game, was not in a good mood. If it wasn't for the fact that the opponent was his compatriot, he would have lost his temper.

He stopped the bodyguard who was trying to pull the young man away, and said in a deep voice, "My friend, this joke is not funny at all."

The young man raised his head and smiled mischievously: "Really? But I have no choice. If I want to attract others' attention, I have to do something out of the ordinary. Besides, what I said is true, I want to play basketball."

Yao Ming carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He was a handsome man with a height of about 185 centimeters. He was considered tall among ordinary people, but in the NBA, this height already belonged to the category of small players.

"Sorry, I just finished the game and I'm very tired. I need to go back and rest." Yao Ming almost instinctively refused.

"Brother Yao, don't be like this, give me a chance, I have a unique skill." The young man didn't care this time, and said loudly, "My shooting range is the entire basketball court, even if someone interferes, I can guarantee about [-]% of the hits Rate."

"Bragging, right?"

Yao Ming expressed his disbelief, the shooting range is the whole field, and even with interference, he can still have a [-]% hit rate, how is this possible!

"I've never liked empty talk."

Yao Ming was silent for a while. Thinking of the game he lost today, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Unfortunately, it's too late now, and the arena is closed. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Let me see what you can do."

"Good! Good!" The young man was full of joy and nodded hurriedly.

So Yao Ming took out his business card and handed it over: "This is my business card, please call me before [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to the training hall."

"Eh? Isn't it the Toyota Center?" The young man took the business card and asked foolishly.

Yao Ming laughed and said, "How is it possible? The Toyota Center is not only used by the Rockets, but also by the Houston Comets and the Houston Air Force."

"what is that?"

"It's women's basketball and ice hockey."

Saying that, Yao Ming yawned: "I really can't talk to you anymore, it's too late, I have to go back and rest quickly."

As he spoke, he opened the car door, and suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

The young man touched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is late."

"Late? You..."

"No way, my old man told me that it's better to be late than never."

Hearing this sentence, Yao Ming almost didn't laugh out loud: "Your name is quite interesting, so let's do it first, remember to call me tomorrow."

Just after noon the next day, Yao Ming met with late.

At this time, several players had just finished their lunch, and they were a little curious when they saw that Yao Ming had brought a Chinese over.

Clarence Witherspoon is one of these players. As a veteran, he had high hopes. However, in the first 31 rounds of the Rockets, he averaged only 3 points per game and faced challenges at any time. danger of being eliminated.

Clarence Witherspoon, who is not strong enough, has a good relationship with everyone on the team. This is also an important way for him to stay in the league. Seeing that Yao Ming brought a Chinese in, he immediately said: "Hey , Yao! Is that your friend?"

Yao Ming's EQ is much higher than these black and thick ones. Hearing this, he just smiled lightly: "CW, you are so smart. This is my friend. He is very interested in the training of our professional players, so I will take him to visit .”

"Oh, now is not a good time to visit. Everyone has gone to rest." Clarence Witherspoon continued.

"It's okay, it won't disturb other people's training."

Being late is not an easy thing, and he extended his hand with a smile: "Hi CW, my name is late, you can call my English name late, nice to meet you."

The two shook hands, and Yao Ming gave a brief introduction to the remaining players who hadn't left. After that, he winked at Late and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that your range is the whole court? Show Let's go."

"Okay." Late agreed, walked to the center of the court in the training hall, took a basketball casually, shook it in his hand, and threw it out seemingly casually.

"You don't change your sport..." Before Yao Ming finished his sentence, he saw the action of throwing the ball late, and turned his head to look in surprise, only to hear a "swish", the ball went in!
"Oh! Shit! How did you do it?" Clarence Witherspoon's astonishment was incomparable compared to Yao Ming who had already prepared a little bit.

A classic four-letter word in English came out of his mouth, and he looked carefully at the suit that Lai was wearing, and the surprise in his eyes was even greater.

"Hey! Man! Do it again!"

Since the audience was so enthusiastic, there was no ambiguity about being late, and they raised their hands for another ball, swipe the net hollow again.

Clarence Witherspoon opened his mouth in surprise and yelled at Yao Ming in disbelief: "Hey! Yao! Did you see that? Another entry! Another entry! I bet this Guys definitely didn't get in by luck."

As he said that, he yelled at Andre Barrett, who also opened his mouth in shock: "Hey! Boy, what are you still doing, go and pick up the ball for our sharpshooter!"

Andre Barrett is a rookie who only joined the team this year, so he naturally has no status in front of Clarence Witherspoon.

And he also wanted to see how accurate this guy in a suit shooting was.

After that, the few people present saw an astonishing performance. The late player standing in the midfield did not miss any shots, and every ball was hollow.

He was late and took [-] shots at halftime, and none of them missed!

Instead, Andre Barrett, who picked up the ball at the basket, was not accurate enough when he passed the ball late, and he even had to move a few steps late to get the ball.

After throwing [-] balls, being late is considered ready for exercise. He ran to the other side of the field under the surprised eyes of everyone, jumped up with one foot and threw the ball.

Andre Barrett, who was in charge of picking up the ball at the basket, was completely stunned. Witherspoon's mouth was wide open, and his expression was like Erha who was only shocked.

20 consecutive goals, still maintain a 100% hit rate!
Everyone including Yao Ming had the same thought at the same time: Is this guy from an alien?

Witherspoon stood beside Yao Ming, his palms were covered with sweat, and he looked like a moron who saw a beautiful girl in his late eyes.

In order to prove his shooting level, after throwing 50 full-court shots late, he found a player who was about his height: "Can you guard me?"

Charlie Ward was born in 70 and participated in the draft in 94. At the age of 34 this year, he is an old veteran in the league, but he has long been conquered by his precise shooting. He ran up and raised his hands in front of the late , and asked with some concern: "Is this all right?"

With Charlie Ward's defense, being late is no longer a perfect shot, but even so, his shooting percentage is still astonishing. Yao Ming roughly estimated that in the case of slight interference, the late shooting rate still reached an astonishing 90% %.

Even if Charlie Ward started to defend seriously, he still couldn't limit the late shooting percentage to below 50%.

The late shooting rate was amazing, and the Rockets players were stunned. I don't know when the team general manager Carol Dawson and head coach Van Gundy have already stood on the sidelines.

The hale and hearty Mr. Dawson has played for the Rockets for 27 years. Every stage of the Rockets' success has left his mark.

Seeing that the late performance was almost over, Dawson waved at the late: "Hey, boy, come here."

Late hurriedly threw the ball to Charlie Ward, and quickly ran to Dawson: "Mr. Dawson, hello, I'm late, you can call me late."

"Late, do you know me? Well, I'm very interested in the skills you showed just now. How old are you now, are you willing to join our team?" Dawson asked with a smile.

Late hurriedly replied: "I am 19 years old, to be honest, I just want to play basketball, but I have no connections, so..."

As he said that, he briefly talked about how he risked stopping Yao Ming in the parking lot last night.

Mr. Dawson kept a gentle smile all the time, and he said after he finished speaking: "Then do you mind taking a personal test first?"

I was overjoyed when I arrived late, it seemed that there was a door, so I immediately replied: "Of course."

"Robin, come and do a simple physical test for our Chinese boy!" Dawson called a team member and took Late aside for the test.

The NBA's player physical examination already has a very scientific and standardized process. It took a long time for the late physical examination report to be released smoothly.

Dawson and Van Gundy frowned secretly as they looked at the report in their hands.

Late's physical fitness is not too good, except for his seemingly good strength, whether it is jumping or speed, it seems to be slightly insufficient, and his identity as a yellow race makes Dawson hesitate.
