NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Now it's a live broadcast across the United States. If I say my name, I'm afraid it will never be possible to receive exclusive news from that rocket friend." Kenny Smith shrugged and said.

Barkley thought about it, and felt that he was indeed asking too abruptly. He laughed and said, "Then let's start with an advertisement, and then see if there will be any twists and turns in the fourth quarter."

What Barkley said in the end, I am afraid that even he himself does not believe it.

In the fourth quarter, both sides sent on-court water dispenser administrator-level substitutes, so naturally they couldn't have any impact on the trend of the game.

In the end, the Rockets won the battle 130-115.

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Van Gundy stood up and said to Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Zhang Jinshui who were sitting together: "Wait a minute, you go back to the locker room earlier, Dawson and I want to introduce a new teammate to you."

Before Zhang Jinshui could react, Yao Ming and McGrady asked happily, "Who is it?"

Van Gundy smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in a while."

After speaking, he took the assistant coach Hughes and walked straight to the player tunnel.

Only then did Zhang Jinshui figure out the meaning behind the words "new teammate". He happily wanted to go back to the locker room with Van Gundy, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to go back to the court like other teammates.

Steve Nash has stood up from the bench and greeted Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and other Rockets players he knew in a friendly manner.

Zhang Jinshui walked up, stretched out his hand to Nash, and said, "Hi, Nash, it's a great honor to be able to play against you tonight. I have learned a lot from you."

Nash smiled and said, "It's an honor for me to play against you too, but don't talk about learning anything. You played very well today, and there are many things worth learning."

在今天这场比赛中，纳什15投7中，罚球2罚2中，拿下了20分15次助攻2篮板。

张金水则17投9中，其中三分球13投7中，罚球1罚1中，拿下了26分6次助攻2篮板1盖帽。

If technical statistics and game wins and losses are considered comprehensively, the performance of the two can be said to have their own merits.

However, it can be seen from this game that Nash is like the brain of the Suns, and he almost achieved the Suns' 7-second running and bombing tactics by himself.

The Suns with Nash and without Nash are the difference between the strong teams in the Western Conference and the mid-lower teams in the Western Conference.

Although Zhang Jinshui is also very important to the Rockets, without Zhang Jinshui, the Rockets with healthy Yao Mai will still be a strong team in the Western Conference. Almost the same fighting power.

From this point alone, Zhang Jinshui can clearly realize that there is still a big gap between him and Nash.

Zhang Jinshui exchanged some pleasantries with Nash, exchanged their phone numbers, and made an appointment to have an assist in the next game. After rejecting several reporters who surrounded him, he walked towards the auditorium on the sidelines.

"Brother, you are so majestic on the court!" Zhang Xiaoman, who was wearing a thick black sweater and the Rockets' red jersey No. 86, ran up excitedly and jumped on Zhang Jinshui's body.

Zhang Jinshui immediately raised his right hand to support Zhang Xiaoman's small head, established an arm's distance between the two, and said in distaste: "How old are you, and you still jump on me every day, are you ashamed? Get out of the way." , get out of the way."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jinshui pushed Zhang Xiaoman aside, and walked towards Zi Chunlin excitedly.

Today's Zi Chunlin has flaming red lips, wearing a white fluffy coat on the upper body, blue jeans and brown leather boots on the lower body, sexy and playful, looking very attractive.

Unexpectedly, he opened his hands and hadn't touched his girlfriend, Zhang Xiaoman rushed out to block between the two, hugged Zi Chunlin's arms with both hands to avoid Zhang Jinshui.

"In public, you are not ashamed to hug my sister-in-law like this."

Zhang Jinshui made a black line on his forehead, and said angrily, "I'll get close to my girlfriend, it's none of your business!"

"There are so many shots, it's indecent, but it's not allowed." Zhang Xiaoman turned his head and asked Zi Chunlin confidently: "Sister-in-law, do you think this is the truth?"

Zi Chunlin smiled like a flower, covered her mouth and nodded, saying: "Yes, that's the truth."

Zhang Jinshui knew that there would be no benefit if he left the ink here, so he pointed his finger at Zhang Xiaoman viciously, and said, "Okay Zhang Xiaoman, just wait for me to go to school."

Then, he walked resentfully towards the player tunnel.

Back in the locker room of the home team, Zhang Jinshui saw that Yao Ming, McGrady and most other players were already sitting on the bench, playing around while changing clothes, and hurried to McGrady's side.

He was just about to ask if he knew who the new teammate they were about to meet was.

Van Gundy and Dawson have already pushed the door and walked in together.

Dawson patted the doorknob with a smile, and said loudly: "Everyone, congratulations to you for successfully stealing another game. From you, I find that the job of a player is getting easier and easier."

In a word, everyone laughed out loud.

Dawson continued loudly: "Now, let me introduce a new friend to you."

As he said that, he turned his head and shouted towards the door: "Hey, foster brother, come in quickly, everyone can't wait to see you."

Immediately afterwards, a tall black man in a hip-hop costume with a large gold chain around his neck walked in.

It was precisely in order to support his family that he rejected Sprewell, who had an annual salary of tens of millions.

"I knew it was you." McGrady laughed, stepped forward to punch Sprewell, and hugged him.

Yao Ming, Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo and others also greeted each other warmly.

Only then did Zhang Jinshui know that although Sprewell has a weird temper and a bad reputation, and is tabooed by many team management and coaches, he is actually very popular and is friends with many active NBA players.

It's no wonder that Garnett had such a big opinion on the management after the Timberwolves management didn't keep Sprewell.

"Hey, McGrady...Yao Ming...Old Mu...Please take care of me in the future. I haven't played a game for a long time, and my hands are very raw." Sprewell stepped forward and played with every Rockets player with a smile. greet you.

In front of Zhang Jinshui, Sprewell patted Zhang Jinshui's chest affectionately and said, "Boy, your three-pointer is too good. If it weren't for your performance of 12 three-pointers in three quarters, I would still make it." I can't make up my mind to agree to the veteran contract that Dawson gave me."

It turned out that Sprewell joined the Rockets, and he himself had a share of the credit. Zhang Jinshui was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that the sense of distance between the two disappeared, and joked: "Then you wait and regret it. The points are all deceived."

Sprewell staggered, made an exaggerated expression, and said, "Thank you."

The Rockets players all laughed when they heard this.

After greeting everyone, Dawson asked Sprewell to say a few words to all the Rockets players in conclusion. With Madman's qualifications and achievements in the NBA, he naturally has the qualifications.

He walked to the center of the locker room, touched his nose, and said, "I've been in the league for 15 years, and I haven't tasted the taste of a championship. Everyone, can you help me this year?"

"No problem!" McGrady and Yao Ming said loudly.

Finally, the crowd surrounded the madmen and shouted the slogan "Rocket Champion!"

Next, Van Gundy helped Sprewell arrange the closet next to McGrady, which had previously belonged to Derek Anderson.

Seeing the inquiring gazes of the players, Van Gundy and Dawson exchanged glances, and finally said loudly: "Guys, there are some things that I originally wanted to wait for the trade application to be approved by the league before making it public.

However, tomorrow we will go to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away, and there may not be any good opportunities to bring everyone together. Why don't we take advantage of this and explain to you the changes in our Rockets' lineup. "

Van Gundy paused, and then continued: "As you can see, David Wesley, Derek Anderson and Swift did not appear in the locker room tonight against the Suns. They have already packed their bags and left. Houston, to their new club.

They are all very professional players, I hope everyone can remember their contributions to the Rockets. "

After Van Gundy finished speaking, Dawson continued: "To be more specific, Derek Anderson was traded to the Heat in exchange for the Heat's second-round pick next year.

In fact, Derek Anderson had communicated with me and Van Gundy through his agent before, hoping to be bought out and go to the Heat to pursue his championship dream.As he wished, we sent him to the Heat, but unfortunately, Anderson may not win the championship this year, because the championship is ours. "

Dawson paused, and continued: "We sent David Wesley, whose contract will expire next year, to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for their substitute insider birdman Anderson. In order to match the contract amount, they also Added a new guy named JR Smith.

Plus, we sent Swift to the Memphis Grizzlies with our first-round pick for next year and a second-round pick from the Heat and got a defense from them that you all know Titans, Sean Battier.

Now, these transactions have been submitted to the league for approval. If all goes well, these three players will be your teammates when we arrive in Memphis at noon tomorrow. "

After Dawson announced all the details, apart from expressing a little regret for not saying goodbye to the three players, the Rockets players did not have much abnormal performance. It can be seen that NBA players have long been used to themselves or The teammates around me come and go and go around in this league.

However, Zhang Jinshui was facing this situation for the first time, but he couldn't calm down more or less.

But when he thought of the Rockets' new lineup after the deal was completed, he felt excited again.

With the addition of Sean Battier and Sprewell, the Rockets will have a starting lineup of center Yao Ming, power forward Battier, small forward Tracy McGrady, shooting guard Sprewell, and point guard Zhang Jinshui.

This lineup, even compared with the starting lineups of the Heat, Pistons, and Mavericks, is not inferior at all.

Of course, based on Zhang Jinshui’s understanding of Van Gundy, in order to maintain a balance between the main lineup and the bench lineup, Van Gundy is more likely to put Uncle Huo or Chuck Hayes in the starting lineup, Battier and McGrady play small forward and score respectively. Defender, Sprewell is placed on the bench.

In this case, Van Gundy can line up a substitute lineup with Sprewell, Birdman Anderson, and Uncle Mu as the main frame, plus McGrady and Zhang Jinshui lead the team separately, and can even compete with the main lineup of some big teams. Arm wrestling.

In short, after the transaction is approved tomorrow, the Rockets will be greatly strengthened in terms of paper lineup and combat capability.

Moreover, even Dawson and Van Gundy may not realize that JR Smith, who no one knows and was sent as an extra, can actually grow into a very helpful puzzle player for the Rockets.

在今天的比赛中，姚明20投12中，罚球12投10中，拿下34分15篮板2次盖帽，麦迪则23投13中，三分球7投2中，罚球8罚6中，拿下了34分6助攻5篮板1抢断。

The two who scored 68 points together managed to free Zhang Jinshui, who performed well in this game, from the post-match press conference: The NBA official team only named Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to attend the post-match conference.

After showering and changing clothes, Zhang Jinshui walked out of the locker room excitedly. Zi Chunlin, Zhang Xiaoman and Zi Qiuli were already waiting in the corridor leading to the parking lot from the locker room.

Coincidentally, Sprewell also passed by here. After the few words in the locker room, Zhang Jinshui and Sprewell felt like they had a similar taste and hated seeing each other late.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Zi Chunlin, Sprewell's eyes lit up immediately.

After learning that she was Zhang Jinshui's manager, she immediately yelled out, saying that she had broken up with her manager and wanted to change her manager.

It happened that several people entered the parking lot together by the driveway, Zhang Jinshui first pretended to be careless and sent Zi Qiuli and Zhang Xiaoman away to get the car.

Then immediately gritted his teeth and announced to the madman that Zi Chunlin was his girlfriend, the kind who would give him a whole basketball team in the future, and let the madman get out of here.

The madman laughed loudly after hearing this, saying that a friend's wife should not be bullied, he patted his ass and left directly.

On the contrary, Zi Chunlin's pretty face turned red, pinched Zhang Jinshui's arm in anger and shame, and said "viciously": "Who said that I will have a basketball team with you?"

"Don't want to have so many children?" Zhang Jinshui looked disappointed, thought about it seriously, and asked tentatively: "Then have three children?"

"No, at most two... wait a minute!"
