Chapter 207 237. Battle Rocket

"Fire Cat Wars"

This headline occupied the headlines in major domestic media.

It is not an exaggeration to say that today is the grand ceremony of the domestic NBA broadcast.

First of all, the Bobcats and Rockets have a good record this season, and both have good records in their respective divisions.The second is the winning percentage of the two teams against the top teams in the league. The Bobcats have defeated the Heat many times.

The Rockets are the nemesis of strong teams, forming a terrifying Southwest Division with the Spurs, Mavericks, and Grizzlies.

Both teams have been billed as championship contenders domestically this year, although the evaluation here in the United States is a bit far off.

But my own children look very good-looking, right? Domestically, both teams are expected to be favorites for the championship. This is some influence caused by modern Chinese history. No matter what, the goal is to be the champion.

Today, nearly a hundred domestic reporters and media poured into the Toyota Center, completely surrounding the two teams. The Rockets have gotten used to this posture in the past two years, while the role players on the Bobcats were a little surprised. It was all for a dozen reporters, and the cameras surrounded him like long guns and short cannons. Even though he had been in the NBA for many years, he stuttered a bit.

Finally, the pre-match interview was over, and most of the Bobcats players who had never enjoyed this kind of treatment were reluctant to part with it.

"Ace, how many people are there in your country?" Kapono, who had enjoyed the superstar treatment, asked Ye Han excitedly.

"Probably four or five times as many as the United States." Ye Han replied casually, since the Chinese Basketball Association couldn't suppress the domestic public opinion, he was used to being surrounded by so many reporters.

"Ace, how big is your country? There are so many people!" Hearing Ye Han's answer, a country full of people popped up in Kapono's mind.

Ye Han thought for a while and replied, "How big is it? One more California than the United States."

"It's bigger than the United States? No wonder there are so many people!" Kapono has no concept of geography, and California is a super big state in his mind.

Ye Han thought, don't Americans pay attention to other countries?

In fact, this is true. Americans think of other countries besides the United States, and they feel that the United States and other countries are two worlds, and they seldom pay attention to those things.Except for those who specialize in geography or like to go to other countries and some professionals, the others know very little about things outside the United States.

Back in the visiting team's locker room, the Bobcats players were filled with the excitement of being surrounded by reporters just now.

Many players like to play against the Rockets. Regardless of winning or losing, the feeling of being noticed by the media is indeed the dream of many players. Unfortunately, the focus of reporters is usually on those superstars.

Most of the Bobcats' players' minds are now outside the game.

For the Chinese market, the NBA officially gave today's game a very pleasing title for Chinese fans-"China Derby".

Similarly, today's game has attracted a lot of attention in the United States. It is the first time in NBA history that two All-Stars from the same country outside the United States will start a match.

American basketball is too powerful. Most of the All-Stars every year are Americans, and there are at most a quarter or a fifth of other countries.

This is still a little bit better in the past two years. The two defeats of the United States in the world wars prove the progress of other countries.

Soon, at [-]:[-] in the evening, the Bobcats away game against the Rockets started in Toyota.

The starting guard of the Rockets is Tyronn Lue, a small man who was once crossed by Iverson in the finals. He was traded to the Rockets after the All-Star. His sharp breakthrough is the foundation of his foothold in the NBA. The first 60 games of this season It was his peak, averaging 13 points and 5 assists per game. Because of his excellent performance, he was finally sold by the Eagles to the Rockets.For the No. [-] pick, for the legendary Australian Bai Duncan, the Eagles have reached the point of desperation. Whoever plays well will be sent away, and whoever recovers from injury will be sent away.

首发得分后卫麦迪，感动上帝的35秒13分让他今年在中国掠夺了无数球迷，今年场均26分6板6助攻的数据在全面性上仅次于詹姆斯。

The starting small forward Bojans Nabak, a coolie small forward, has basically no ability to score independently, and his main role is to do the dirty work.

The starting power forward Juwan Howard has a commendable mid-range shot. His shooting percentage in open mid-range shots is a miracle, as long as there is an open spot, he can basically make it.However, after coming to the Rockets, his scoring hit a career low, averaging only 9 points per game. You must know that he averaged 17 points per game in his rookie season. It seems that he is really old. Like many ordinary stars, 30 After the age, it began to decline sharply.

Yao Ming, the starting center, averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds per game this year. Judging by the statistics, it seems that he is not very good, but he is a huge pinch point on the court, which benefits other Rockets players a lot.

Bobcats starting here is still the five players.

The positions of the two sides, as the number one defensive vanguard of the Bobcats, Ye Han and McGrady stood together. Today he has an extremely difficult task, which is to defend against McGrady.

Looking at Mai Di's expression that seemed to never wake up, Ye Han didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

As the referee's opening whistle sounded, he threw the ball into the air, and Okafor won the jump ball over Yao Ming, who bounced and barely left the ground.

Bobcats go first!

Blake has the ball.

Today, the Bobcats are ready to go all out at the beginning of the game, and they have been playing steadily since the beginning.

Blake broke through Tyronn Lue. Tyronn Lue's speed was extremely slow, which was a loophole in the Rockets' defense, but the Rockets' defensive rotation was very fast. Barker blocked Blake's breakthrough line very well.Nabaker's defense is not at the same level as Tyronn Luyi, so Blake has no chance to continue to advance inside.

However, Blake's goal was never to score by himself. He threw the ball behind him, and Ye Han caught the ball at the free throw line and shot it!

Feeling very good, Ye Han scored the first goal of the game.

Rockets offense, Tyronn Lue was used to such things when he was in the Lakers, and he immediately handed the ball to McGrady after halftime.

McGrady held the ball, Ye Han saw this opponent, he was very focused and defended with all his strength.

It's a pity that for this kind of superstar, the defense is at best a disturbance,

McGrady chose to break through, and Ye Han defended very hard. The moment McGrady accelerated, he immediately judged the opponent's advancing route.

McGrady's breakthrough route was very clear. Ye Han was able to judge the opponent's intentions very well, but he couldn't stop McGrady's excellent first step, and was scored two points by McGrady.
