NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Understood." Zhang Jinshui sighed and nodded helplessly.

"Hey, Zhang Jinshui, why are you sighing? Aren't many media scolding us before the game? This live press conference is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let you feel how doggy NBA reporters really are. The change in their attitudes can How fast is it, let's learn more." Uncle Mu patted Zhang Jinshui's shoulder and laughed with a broken voice.

"Uncle, what you say makes sense. That's fine, I'll go and learn more." Zhang Jinshui laughed.

......

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Jinshui, who took a shower and changed his clothes, appeared at the post-match press conference with Van Gundy, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

The huge press conference room was packed to the brim today. Not only were the benches full of people, but there was also a row of reporters standing by the wall in the back row. The number of reporters was at least [-]% more than that of the Heat's game.

Van Gundy was still the first to answer the question, and Zhang Jinshui at the side immediately felt the shamelessness of these reporters.

The first reporter to ask a question was a female reporter from TNT. She first congratulated the Rockets for winning a significant game, and felt honored to be able to personally report the game.

Zhang Jinshui was very impressed with this female reporter.

At the press conference after the Spurs game two days ago, it was this female reporter, who came up with a heartbreaking output to Van Gundy, criticizing the Rockets as a soft-ass team, a pair of relatives and enemies. Stance.

People who didn't know the situation saw it and thought that all the players of the Rockets cheated on her.

And this female reporter is certainly not an isolated case. Next, many reporters who had made fierce remarks against the Rockets at the Spurs' post-game press conference all stood up with their microphones in their hands, looking as usual to get the Pistons settled tonight. The Rockets took it to the sky.

Until now, Zhang Jinshui is considered to be aware of the dog-faced characteristics of these reporters. He was angry with these reporters during the preseason, but now it seems that he was bitten by a dog and wanted to bite the dog later. .

Anyone who takes the views of these media seriously in the future is an idiot.Zhang Jinshui secretly made up his mind.

Zhang Jinshui originally wanted to give the media a hard time when they asked him questions, but now that he has seen the essence, he is no longer interested in wasting his emotions on these dog reporters.

After Yao Ming and McGrady finished answering the questions, Zhang Jinshui answered several questions from the reporters about the game with no expression on his face.

And at the end, when someone asked about the Rockets' Devil's schedule, he expressed his views on avoiding the Pistons in a very simple and clear way:

"This season, as you can see, our Rockets have a tough schedule.

When Coach Van Gundy and his coaching staff decided to rest our players, their only consideration was our players' health and status.

For this, all of us Rockets players are very grateful, and some criticisms from public opinion have also made us more united.

In addition, against the Pistons today, our Rockets sent all the players and won, which has proved that our Rockets are not afraid of any opponent at all.

If we have rotations in the future, I hope everyone will be more considerate to us. "

After Zhang Jinshui finished speaking, although there were still many reporters raising their hands high, the personnel of the NBA official on-site team came forward to end the press conference.

It was already 10:9 in the evening, and the entire Rockets team will gather at the Houston airport at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, fly to Indiana together, and challenge the Indiana Pacers in an away game the day after tomorrow.

Tonight's press conference really shouldn't be held too late.

This move of the NBA staff on site is very thoughtful, but considering that the Rockets' crazy schedule is also an official handwriting of the NBA, Zhang Jinshui, Yao Ming and McGrady can't express any gratitude to the NBA staff.

After bidding farewell to Yao Mai and Van Gundy, Zhang Jinshui came to the team's dedicated parking lot to join Zi Chunlin, Zhao Miner and Zi Qiuli.

The two girls were very excited when they talked about tonight's game, especially Zhang Jinshui's final kill.

On the contrary, Zhang Jinshui consumed too much energy in today's game, and he didn't have much energy to joke with them anymore.

At this time, the only thing left to comfort Zhang Jinshui was a plate of twice-cooked pork.

The four of them were driven by Zi Qiuli and came to Yao Restaurant together.

Zi Chunlin and Zhao Min'er both noticed Zhang Jinshui's exhaustion when they were eating, so they didn't say anything more, just quietly accompanied Zhang Jinshui, and speeded up their eating.

After 12 o'clock in the evening, Zi Qiuli sent Zhang Jinshui and the three back home.

Yawning, Zhang Jinshui said goodnight to Zi Zhao and his daughter, then went back to the second floor to brush his teeth and wash his face, and threw himself on the bed.

At this time, Zhang Jinshui still has a small worry in his heart, that is, the Rockets' next home game will be a back-to-back home game against the Suns after the away game against the Mavericks.

Only by winning that game can Zhang Jinshui complete the system task of winning the first five games at home and successfully open the one-time consumable item store.

But under such a monster schedule, it is not easy to win the Suns, not to mention the game against the Mavericks before that, which was the revenge battle that Zhang Jinshui has been looking forward to for a long time.

Who cares, come game by game, let's talk about it when we get back to the home court.

In the end, Zhang Jinshui, who was lying on the bed, scratched his hair, tried hard to clear his consciousness, and gradually fell into a dream.

.......

The game against the Pistons really consumed Zhang Jinshui's energy.

At 7:30 the next morning, when the alarm clock on Zhang Jinshui's mobile phone rang, Zhang Jinshui, who was sleeping like a dead pig, didn't respond at all.

After the unreconciled mobile phone kept making noise for 5 minutes, it completely disappeared.

Fortunately, Zi Chunlin didn't go out today. At 7:50 in the morning, before she saw Zhang Jinshui on the first floor, she climbed to Zhang Jinshui's bedroom and woke up Zhang Jinshui who was still struggling to snore.

The dazed Zhang Jinshui opened his eyes, thinking that Zi Chunlin had appeared in his dream, and immediately pulled her into his bed, who was wearing a blue cotton long skirt, and felt the joyful feeling. Follow the opponent's struggle.

In the end, Zhang Jinshui woke up after Zi Chunlin bit him hard on the cheek.

The next morning, until Zhang Jinshui was sent to the airport, Zi Chunlin, who was biting her white teeth and blushing, refused to give Zhang Jinshui any good looks, which made Zhang Jinshui's mentality explode.

Looking at Zi Chunlin's reaction, Zhang Jinshui was sure that he must have taken advantage of Zi Chunlin when he was half asleep and half awake, but his consciousness at that time was too vague to recall any details.

Obviously made a big mistake, but did not enjoy the happiness brought by the mistake, this should be regarded as one of the saddest things in the world.

In the end, under Zhang Jinshui's various explanations and guarantees, Zi Chunlin finally believed that he was innocent, and felt nothing in his sleep.

However, she still warned viciously: "Next time you dare to touch those places on my body that shouldn't be touched like this time, and you will never touch me again for at least two months."

However, after saying this, Zi Chunlin immediately regretted it.

On the one hand, the deterrent effect of not touching her for two months doesn't seem to be great, but on the other hand, she seems to have inadvertently revealed to Zhang Jinshui the details of what he did to her in the morning.

Finally, amidst Zhang Jinshui's uncontrollable smile, Zi Chunlin kicked Zhang Jinshui out of the car, and drove away from the airport in a hurry.

"Sister Chunlin, drive slowly and pay attention to safety." Zhang Jinshui told Zi Chunlin loudly with concern, but his heart was already happy.

It wasn't until Zi Chunlin's car completely disappeared from the driveway of the airport that Zhang Jinshui picked up his luggage, turned around and walked towards the departure hall.

When he met with a group of Rockets players in the departure hall, it was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the players and staff of the Rockets had almost arrived. When Uncle Mu saw Zhang Jinshui, he immediately slapped a copy of "Basketball Watch Weekly" on Zhang Jinshui's chest, and shouted in a voice like a broken gong: "Superstar!" , take a look, you have already walked up from Houston!"

Zhang Jinshui looked confused, took the magazine and looked at it, and found that the cover was a close-up picture of himself shooting a three-pointer yesterday, and there was a line of big characters beside it:

[NBA's next superstar is rising in Houston. 】

Zhang Jinshui suddenly felt his face twitch, the superstar hat was too big.

In today's NBA, only Kobe, Iverson, O'Neal, Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Nash, Garnett, Nowitzki and Yao Ming are about a dozen people who can deserve the title of superstar.

Even LeBron James and Dean Wade, the golden generation of 03, who are in the limelight, are still a few steps away from these four words. "Basketball Observer Weekly" even directly gave this title to the title and only played 8 games in the NBA. In the regular season, Zhang Jinshui, a rookie who has never even tasted what the All-Star Game is like.

However, this magazine is the basketball magazine with the largest circulation in the southwestern region of the beautiful country, and it can also rank among the top three sales in the beautiful country, with a very large influence.

The point of view it outputs will definitely cause an uproar in the entire NBA world.

Zhang Jinshui felt as if his hand had been scalded, and quickly stuffed the magazine back to Uncle Mu, and said with a headache: "This is fucking naked flattery. The editor-in-chief of this magazine was probably the one who interviewed me before." I've been bullied."

At this time, Maddie, Lutherhead and others beside Uncle Mu also came over.

McGrady put his arms around Zhang Jinshui's neck, laughed loudly and said, "It's really strange that someone is not happy to be called a superstar by the media.

After yesterday's game against the Pistons, this magazine must not be the only one praising you, learn to enjoy these, brother, or you will be very troubled in the future. "

Zhang Jinshui didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he quickly diverted the conversation to Alstom's strange attire today.

However, after boarding the chartered flight with all the Rockets players, Zhang Jinshui turned on the satellite TV in front of his seat and found that ESPN, TNT, ABA, SB and other mainstream TV talk shows were all discussing Zhang Jinshui.

Zhang Jinshui suddenly had one head and two big heads. It seems that he still underestimated the attention paid to the game between the Rockets and the Pistons yesterday, and also underestimated the gold content of his lore yesterday.

After turning several channels in a row and still unable to escape from himself, Zhang Jinshui stopped the TV screen on "NBA Time" on SB TV.

In the screen, Kenny Smith, Big Mouth Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Drexler are discussing Zhang Jinshui's personal data this season.

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Zhang Jinshui discovered that so far this season, he has averaged 24.3 points, 6.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.

This data is actually at best the level of an All-Star bench player.

But Kenny Smith emphasized two statistics. First, Zhang Jinshui averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game. Second, Zhang Jinshui's three-point shooting rate reached a terrifying 50%.

These two data of the sky-defying level directly opened up Zhang Jinshui's upper limit.

Not to mention, in the past 8 games, Zhang Jinshui has dedicated two lore games, and the targets of the lore are the Heat and Pistons, which are ranked first and second in the East respectively.

Going back ten years, only Iverson and Tim Duncan can perform so miraculously in their rookie season, and these two are now recognized superstars in the league.

Even Drexler and Reggie Miller, who have never been too interested in Zhang Jinshui, cannot deny Zhang Jinshui's excellence in the past, but they still feel that it is too early to discuss whether Zhang Jinshui can become a super giant. up.

After a few rounds of debating with Big Mouth Kenny, the show's time was almost up, and Drexler finally spoke:

"I don't have any hostility towards Zhang Jinshui. Instead of thinking about the title of a superstar, I think Zhang Jinshui should be more down-to-earth and focus on playing every next game. Let's see if there is a chance. Besides being an All-Star, this suggestion is definitely not an offense."

Zhang Jinshui felt that Drexler's last words were very pertinent.

However, being an All-Star is still too extravagant for a rookie. In the past ten years, only two phenomenal players, Yao Ming and Duncan, have completed the feat of being selected to the All-Star in their rookie season.

Even Kobe, Iverson and LeBron James have never done something, Zhang Jinshui naturally has no confidence.

Moreover, these illusory things will not help the improvement of strength. Zhang Jinshui is very clear that he is still a long way from becoming a superstar and leading the Rockets to win the championship.

He turned off the TV, leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes, and stopped thinking about what was there.

Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, but at this moment, he felt a person sitting beside him, and then, Van Gundy's voice rang in his ears.

"Zhang Jinshui, are you asleep? I want to talk to you about something."
