NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Sacramento is only more than 100 miles away from New Orleans, and it only takes more than an hour by bus.

To some extent, it is indeed unreasonable for the league to arrange for the Rockets to play three consecutive away games at the beginning of the season.

However, putting the away games of the Kings and Hornets together is a blessing in misfortune for the Rockets.

After boarding the Rockets bus, Zhang Jinshui saw McGrady and his wife sitting in the first row of the bus.

He greeted them with a smile, and couldn't help but secretly think, if only he could bring Zi Chunlin and Zhao Min'er to the Rockets bus.

It's a pity that bringing his family on the team's special plane and team's special car is the privilege McGrady, a superstar, got when he transferred to the Rockets.

Not even Yao Ming, and Zhang Jinshui, as a rookie who has just entered the league, has no extravagance.

As Van Gundy, Dawson and other team members boarded the bus one after another, the bus departed on time at nine o'clock in the morning as originally planned.

Although it's only over an hour away, the Rockets can't stay idle in the car.

Alston, Swift and other live treasure players sat together, playing accompaniment with their mouths and rapping at the same time. Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo and Anderson sat in the back and played poker together.

Zhang Jinshui originally wanted to chat with Yao Ming, but when he saw Yao Ming closing his eyes, he turned on the small TV on the back of the front seat and connected the earphones.

What was broadcast on the small TV turned out to be sb satellite TV station.

On the TV screen is a studio with a huge space, and the background is a giant basketball and NBA logo.

There were three black single sofas on the floor in the center, on which Barkley with a big mouth, Kenny Smith, and a tall, thin host with gold-rimmed glasses were sitting.

Kenny Buckley was having a red-faced debate with the host of SB TV, and the three words Zhang Jinshui kept coming out of their mouths.

Zhang Jinshui hasn't watched TV for a long time. The last time he heard someone discussing himself on TV was when he participated in the summer league.

At that time, he didn't play his best in the second game of the summer league. Not only did the team lose, but he was also crushed by Bobcats rookie Felton in terms of statistics.

Then, NBA officials dropped themselves from No. [-] to No. [-] in the rookie rankings, which caused a huge controversy among the media.

Later, he withdrew from summer league, citing injury as an excuse.

His ranking in the rookie list is getting lower and lower, even falling out of the top 10, and the media's attention on him is getting less and less.

Now, as he started to compete in the NBA main game and performed well, it is also expected that he will be re-focused by the media.

"Smith, I don't think you should directly compare a rookie who has fallen out of the top ten with the rookie who is ranked first. This is very disrespectful to other top ten rookies." The thin and tall SB host pushed the frame , said righteously.

Kenny Smith said helplessly: "Please, the current NBA rookie ranking is based on the NBA's official rookie performance in the summer league. Zhang Jinshui only played two games in the summer league. Do you think this ranking is meaningful?"

"Then we will only discuss those two games. In the second game, Zhang Jinshui was blown away by Felton. Since you all agree that Felton is not as good as Chris Paul, shouldn't Zhang Jinshui be taken?" To compare to Chris Paul?"

"Zhang Jinshui didn't give his best in the second game. If you have watched that game, you must not dare to say such a thing. Why don't we forget about the summer league and talk about yesterday's NBA game. What do you think of Zhang Jinshui? How was the performance against the Kings yesterday?"

"Zhang Jinshui scored 19 points and 6 assists, and helped the Rockets beat the Kings in an away game. His performance was indeed very good.

However, Chris Paul scored 20 points, 11 assists and 3 steals in the game against the Cavaliers, and the data level is stronger than Zhang Jinshui. "

"But Zhang Jinshui made two very crucial three-pointers at the buzzer yesterday.

Yesterday's top five goals were Zhang Jinshui's two three-pointers.Didn't we just finish watching it? "

"That only proves that Zhang Jinshui is the best three-point shooter among the rookies, but it doesn't mean that he is the best rookie." The host of SB said, poking his neck.

Kenny Smith was completely speechless, this sb host is really good, he didn't know what to say for a while.

He turned his head and looked helplessly at his old partner, Big Mouth Barkley.

Barkley, who was happily watching the show, hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "You two, let me remind you that the Rockets' away game against the Hornets will start in two days.

In my opinion, if you are arguing here and there, it would be better to just watch the duel between Zhang Jinshui and Paul on the field.Now it's the real NBA arena, so Zhang Jinshui shouldn't play it this time. "

"That's right. After two days, you will know whether Zhang Jinshui is better than Chris Paul. When the time comes, please remember what you said today."

Kenny Smith angrily finished speaking to the sb host, then turned his head and said to the smiling Buckley: "And you!"

Big Mouth Barkley looked confused and asked, "What's none of my business?"

"Didn't you also say that Chris Paul is better than Zhang Jinshui? Let's see."

"Well, let's wait and see, but before we go, let's start with an advertisement."

Seeing the small TV cut to the advertisement screen, Zhang Jinshui took off his earphones and turned off the small TV.

"Then we'll see." Zhang Jinshui grinned and said softly in his heart.

During the summer league, Zhang Jinshui was lazy to compare with other rookies. It wasn't that he didn't care about the title of the best rookie, but he felt that the level of the summer league was too low, and the data he got there was meaningless.

Even if a rookie averages 50 points per game in the summer league, if he returns to the NBA and doesn't get playing time, then he is still just a scumbag.

Now that the nba has officially started, Zhang Jinshui will never hide it anymore. He wants to blow up the rookies of every opponent team, and let the nba see who is the strongest rookie in 2005.

The first opponent is Chris Paul?

This arrangement couldn't be better!

Although Chris Paul is a historical point guard, Zhang Jinshui respects his achievements in the previous life from the bottom of his heart, but Zhang Jinshui firmly believes that he is better in this life.

He is now curious about how the media will react when he defeats Chris Paul, the most popular rookie in direct dialogue.

Shut up and admit he's the best rookie?Or do you find some weird excuses and continue to question him?
