NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Before Van Gundy could continue to speak, Sprewell had already shouted passionately: "There is no need to ask, coach, of course I will go all out and keep moving forward.

We have now won ten consecutive victories, and another win will be eleven consecutive victories, twelve consecutive victories, is there anything more wonderful than this? "

"Yes, go!" Alston and Birdman Anderson echoed loudly.

Van Gundy shrugged with a smile, held out his hand to signal them to stop first, and said:

"Yeah, we've won ten games in a row.

I want to congratulate you first, you have won 10 consecutive victories.

I didn't look too closely, but we should be the third team in the league to win 10 straight games after the Spurs and Pistons, which in itself means a lot.

I can understand everyone's feelings. It's rare to win such a winning streak. Why don't we continue to fight? The more we win in a row, the more the outside world will look at us with admiration.

but......"

Van Gundy changed the subject, paused, and continued: "Don't forget, our goal this season is not the [-]th or [-]th consecutive victory, but the championship.

And I can more or less see that although the past two games did not take much effort, everyone's body is already in a relatively exhausted state.

I don't want to see you drag your tired body to do your best in order to fight for a winning streak, only to encounter some injury problems in the end. "

At this time, Dawson, who has been insignificant tonight, chimed in and said: "I think Coach Van Gundy's concerns are very necessary.

After all, our goal is the championship.

And what is remembered every season is always the championship team, not those teams that have won 10 consecutive victories. "

Hearing this, Zhang Jinshui probably understood that Van Gundy and Dawson should have wanted the Rockets to rest a game during the devil's four-game streak.

But because the Rockets players clamored in the locker room to hit 10 consecutive victories and had a good chemical reaction, they didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, after the 10-game winning streak was achieved, the morale of the players was high, and they called for the continuation of the winning streak in the locker room, which made them face a difficult situation.

The two of them are singing together here now. In fact, they should want to understand the reason and move the players with emotion without dampening the enthusiasm of the players, so that the players can accept the rotation arrangement.

As far as Zhang Jinshui is concerned, he naturally wants to continue the winning streak.

After all, any basketball player who is determined to win or lose doesn't want his team to keep winning and gain a great reputation in the league.

What's more, Zhang Jinshui himself has the opportunity to get more mission rewards for winning streaks.

But on the other hand, Zhang Jinshui, who traveled back from his previous life, knows Yao Ming and McGrady's attributes of glass people too well.

What impressed him the most so far was the time when the Rockets won 07 consecutive victories in the 08-22 season.

At the beginning, McGrady was injured, and Yao Ming led the team to play smoothly. Later, McGrady came back, and Yao McGrady teamed up to be even more powerful. They pushed the winning streak to 12 games all the way, and attracted the attention of the entire league.

In order to win more consecutive victories, Yao Mai continued to do his best, but soon, Yao Ming was injured and was reimbursed for the season.

Then, in fact, there is no more.

Although the Rockets won 22 consecutive victories, the second longest in league history, they were swept out in the first round of the playoffs.

That season became an eternal pain in the hearts of many Rockets fans.

Therefore, when Dawson's words had expressed his and Van Gundy's thoughts very euphemistically, and the players who understood were still silent, Zhang Jinshui took the initiative to say: "I also think the coach's concerns are very reasonable. It’s cool to continue the winning streak, but we still have to consider the physical endurance, our goal is the championship.”

"I also think that there is no need to fight for a winning streak anymore. After all, what can prove our strength now is not the winning streak, but the championship." Seeing what Zhang Jinshui said, Yao Ming immediately chimed in.

Zhang Jinshui was grateful. Of course he knew that with Yao Ming's competitive spirit, he should really want to continue to win consecutive victories. His current support was more of a protection for Zhang Jinshui in the team.

"Okay, Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui's concerns are very reasonable. Damn, this year's goal is to hit the championship in good health." McGrady also said.

With Yao Mai's speech, the opinions of other players are actually not that important.

However, Sprewell, who directly expressed his desire to continue the winning streak, immediately patted his chest and said: "Coach, it's okay, let Yao Ming, McGrady, and Zhang Jinshui rest, and let the other brothers follow me to fight. Fuck the shit."

Van Gundy glanced at his foster brother angrily, and said: "The health of Yao Ming, McGrady and Zhang Jinshui is important, but the physical condition of you and other players is not important?

But I do intend to let you go on the field to practice offensive running, but you can play for 15 minutes at most, so let you go on the field for a training session. "

Sprewell immediately said with a bitter face: "Coach, I was quite happy to be able to play, but when you said that playing is a kind of training, why do I suddenly feel that I have lost a lot of money?"

In a word, everyone laughed out loud.

In the end, Van Gundy arranged the next back-to-back deployment in Los Angeles with the players in a "democratic" way:

The Rockets will strategically rest Yao Ming, McGrady, Zhang Jinshui and Uncle Mu in the game against the Clippers.

Sean Battier, Birdman Anderson and Sprewell will appear in the starting lineup, and JR Smith will be the most important backup weapon.

As Van Gundy said, it hasn't been long since they joined the Rockets. This kind of game can help them further run-in with other players and practice offensive running tactics.

Not long after, the Rockets bus arrived at the door of the Seattle Hilton Hotel where they were staying.

After getting off the car, everyone ate supper at the restaurant of the hotel together, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Zhang Jinshui was the same as the past two days. When he returned to his room, he called Zi Chunlin first.

Unexpectedly, it was past 11 o'clock in the evening, and Zi Chunlin was still in the flagship store of Taiji Zijin, staring at the decoration matters.

After asking, I found out that seeing the opening of the flagship store is coming soon, Ziqiuli actually put forward some new ideas for the display and decoration of the store.

And after he took out the visualization renderings, he got the approval of Zi Chunlin, and immediately overthrew all the old decorations that had been almost finished.

Therefore, in the next few days, Zi Chunlin and Zi Qiuli will stay in the store until very late, urging the workers to do the decoration.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinshui was both angry and distressed. He asked Zi Chunlin to turn on the hands-free phone, and called Zi Qiuli over. When he caught this future uncle, he cursed: Tai Chi Zijin No matter how important the business is, is it more important to have Zi Chunlin's rest and health?

Who would have thought that Zi Qiuli snorted twice, but was not angry, and said: "If it wasn't for the fact that my old man would ask me what I did this year during Christmas, you would think that I would be willing to help you and Zhao Nian's family. Broken shop wasting life?

It's you, take care of your waistband. I've heard that many NBA players will take the initiative to call their family members after the game. However, this does not prevent them from holding a baby who just brought up from the hotel downstairs at the same time. girl. "

In a word, Zhang Jinshui immediately became alert, Zi Qiuli, an old boy, was playing dirty with him again.

He remembered that in the Yao restaurant before leaving, when Zhang Xiaoman was excused by Zi Qiuli to say those words about the girls in Los Angeles who were very active, Zi Chunlin was indeed a little bit bitter.

Zhang Jinshui didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately told Zi Qiuli to shut up, and claimed that he was alone in the hotel room, and he was not afraid of the shadow.

Unexpectedly, Zi Chunlin sent Zi Qiuli away, and after turning off the speakerphone, he said quietly: "Now in Seattle, there may not be so many active girls, but I actually listened to my friends in the NBA circle. Having said that, in Los Angeles, there are too many beautiful girls who want to have a spring night with NBA players."

Hearing this, Zi Chunlin really took Zi Qiuli's words into his heart.

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help but smile bitterly, while resisting gnashing of teeth at that old boy Zi Qiuli, while carefully reassuring his girlfriend not to worry.

At the same time, he was really curious in his heart, what kind of dragon's lake and tiger's den is Los Angeles.

With Zi Chunlin's alluring appearance, coupled with Zhang Jinshui's steadfastness when facing Scarlett Johansson, it is still not enough to reassure Zi Chunlin.

Fortunately, Zi Chunlin also said a few words casually. She remembered the new decoration of the flagship store in her mind, said a few words to Zhang Jinshui, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Zhang Jinshui went to the bathroom to wash up, lay back on the bed, and suddenly thought of an NBA legend, Magic Johnson.

If NBA fans count the 5 greatest superstars in NBA history on their fingers, at least 10 out of 9 fans will count Magic Johnson who created the Lakers showtime era.

When that guy was on the court, he was the best idol heartthrob in the NBA.

Zhang Jinshui once watched the documentary of Magic Johnson. He said to the camera that in the era when he was playing games, every night after the game, he would take at least two young girls from the hotel downstairs to the hotel room. Relationship, the most exaggerated time, he brought six women back to the room at once.

In a total of 13 years of his career, Magic Johnson slept with more than 2500 women until he was confirmed to be infected with AIDS and retired.

Now revisiting this interview carefully, Zhang Jinshui suddenly felt that there might be many young and beautiful girls in Los Angeles waiting to throw themselves into the arms of NBA stars.

But what kind of method is the only way to know until you have been to Los Angeles in person.

......

After a night of no dreams, Zhang Jinshui slept until 11 am the next day, went to the hotel restaurant for brunch, and then hurried to the hotel lobby with his luggage.

The Rockets' bus had already stopped at the door. After Zhang Jinshui checked out, he happened to meet Alstom, who was dressed like a dog, and the two walked to the bus together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two got into the car, McGrady immediately laughed and shouted: "Alston, what do you want to do? You are new to the team this year, and you may not know Coach Van Gundy very well. He hates taking girls in the game room the most. .”

Alston said awkwardly: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."

"You can put it down. When you took the bus before, you wanted to wear only a pair of big pants. When did you see you wearing jeans, a leather jacket, and a big gold chain with a dog-like baby?" McGrady didn't hesitate. Poked through his teammates.

Alston smiled awkwardly, and said bluntly: "Coincidence, it's all coincidence."

But at this time, Birdman Anderson also got into the car. He was more exaggerated than Alston, wearing a slim casual suit, wearing pointed leather shoes, and wearing a small flower on the neckline of his right chest. safflower.

Alston immediately shouted righteously: Anderson, what do you want to do?Let me tell you, our coach Van Gundy is the most repulsive of his players taking girls in the room before the game. "

After hearing this, all the players burst out laughing immediately.

Zhang Jinshui was listening to the conversations of his teammates, and his curiosity was even stronger. However, he was not so stupid as to expose his curiosity in public. Instead, he walked to the last row, sat down beside Yao Ming, and touched Yao Ming. Touching Big Brother's shoulder, he asked, "Yao Ming, what do you mean? Why does it feel like none of them are going to play in the NBA?"

Yao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You will know when you arrive in Los Angeles, but let me warn you first, when you arrive in Los Angeles, you must never forget your Zi Chunlin."

Unexpectedly, even Yao Ming said so, and now Zhang Jinshui became even more curious.

However, when Zhang Jinshui wanted to ask more details, Yao Ming refused to continue on this topic anyway, and claimed that he would help Zi Chunlin keep an eye on him.

Fortunately, they will arrive in Los Angeles today. Without Yao Ming saying anything, Zhang Jinshui can see what he should see.

At this time, the players had already arrived, and after waiting for a while, the head coach Van Gundy was the last one to arrive late.

After he got in the car, he took a long look at everyone's attire, but didn't say much.

At 12:[-] sharp, the rocket bus left the Hilton Hotel on time and headed for Seattle Airport.

After everyone went through the check-in and security check procedures at the airport, they boarded the chartered flight of the Rockets smoothly.

At 1:30 p.m., the plane took off at the airport on time and arrived at Los Angeles Airport two hours later.

Then, Zhang Jinshui followed his teammates to the Hilton Hotel near downtown Los Angeles by bus.

He got out of the car with his teammates, and as soon as he stepped into the magnificent hotel lobby, he couldn't help feeling in his heart that Los Angeles is indeed a paradise for NBA players.
