NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

See that McGrady is surrounded by at least 20 media.

Zhang Jinshui pulled Zhao Min'er to the outside of the media circle, asked Zhao Min'er and the cameraman to wait outside first, and then got in.

McGrady was answering the ESPN reporter's question. When he saw Zhang Jinshui, he immediately pulled him over and said with a smile, "Hey, my brother, do you want to join me and be interviewed with me?"

Zhang Jinshui shook his head, leaned close to Maddy's ear and whispered, "Maddy, I would like to ask you for a favor. My Huaguo reporter friend really wants to interview you, can you answer a few questions for her?"

"Is it that Chinese female reporter who often interviews you after games recently? What is your relationship with her?" McGrady asked in a low voice with a gossip face.

Zhang Jinshui was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to describe his relationship with Zhao Miner, touched his nose, and said awkwardly: "It's a good relationship anyway."

McGrady laughed out loud, showing an ambiguous smile, and said, "I understand, don't worry, I will definitely help with this."

Then McGrady said loudly to the surrounding reporters: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I need to do my brother a favor first, please wait for me first."

Zhang Jinshui waved his hand apologetically to the media reporters, dragged Mai Di out of the reporter pile, and came in front of Zhao Miner.

Zhao Min'er immediately showed joy, and hurriedly asked the cameraman to turn on the camera, and then asked in fluent and pure English: "Hello, Maddie, I'm Zhao Min'er, a reporter from Huaguo Wutai, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course. For the sake of my brother Zhang Jinshui, don't just answer a few questions, it's okay to accept your exclusive interview on the spot." Mai Di blinked, and his ambiguous eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Miner and Zhang Jinshui.

Zhao Min'er's pretty face was covered with red clouds in an instant, she thought that Zhang Jinshui was pretending to be a boyfriend and girlfriend with her in front of Mai Di, and she gave Zhang Jinshui a hard look, but the endless shyness in her fierce eyes could no longer be hidden.

McGrady is the absolute protagonist of today's comeback battle, and he performed a crazy performance with 3 points in 46 quarters. It is undoubtedly the most honorable thing for an NBA reporter to interview McGrady alone for the first time after this game .

A bunch of beautiful country reporters waiting nearby all looked at Zhao Min'er with jealous eyes.

However, because she was afraid that Zhang Jinshui owed McGrady too much favor, Zhao Miner didn't dare to stay with McGrady for too long, and only asked 5 or 6 key questions before ending the interview in a hurry.

Instead, it was Mai Di who kept saying to Zhao Miner: "Is there really no other question? Don't worry, ask boldly. For Zhang Jinshui, I will know everything."

Seeing that Zhao Min'er's pretty face was getting redder and redder, Zhang Jinshui was afraid that she would be too thin-skinned, so he quickly pushed Mai Di aside, which is to say that the words "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge" were brought to the extreme.

"Thank you, Jin Shui."

Zhang Jinshui turned around and wanted to ask Zhao Miner for credit, but she didn't know that the other party stepped forward and hugged him lightly, then ran away as if fleeing.

Zhang Jinshui stared blankly at her receding figure, her beautiful ponytail flicking on her slender back.

Suddenly there is an urge to call out to the other party, telling the other party that this hug is too short, it doesn't count, and you have to start all over again.

He hurriedly shook his head to wake himself up. With Zhao Min'er's thin skin, and being made so public by him, he probably would have to pounce on him and bite him a few times before giving up.

Afterwards, Zhang Jinshui declined several reporters who wanted to interview him, and waved goodbye to Zi Chunlin and Zi Qiuli in the stands.

Zhang Jinshui will not be able to meet Zi Chunlin outside the locker room tonight.

He must immediately go back to the locker room to change clothes, and then follow the Rockets' bus to Orlando Airport to take the Rockets' special plane to fly back to Houston.

However, Zi Chunlin will also take the flight back to Houston tonight. If all goes well, Zhang Jinshui should arrive at the Houston airport half an hour later.

On the contrary, Zhao Min'er will stay with her colleagues in a hotel arranged by the NBA for one night, and will return to Houston tomorrow.

When Zhang Jinshui returned to the locker room, Lutherhead, Joan Barry and other players had already showered and changed, and walked to the bus with their luggage.

Zhang Jinshui didn't dare to waste any more time, and hurried to the bathroom.

After 20 minutes, he boarded the bus with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. The Rockets personnel were all present, and the bus immediately started to drive to Altland Airport.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the special plane carrying the rocket soldiers and accompanying staff took off on time.

After going through the turbulence during the ascent, the plane gradually stabilized.

Coach Van Gundy got out of his seat and stood up.

Dawson, Yao Ming, Zhang Jinshui and other players also stood up consciously, applauding and cheering for McGrady's stunning performance tonight.

Whether it is the best player of the game judged by the official NBA team, or the most amazing player of the Rockets, McGrady deserves his name.

Then, Van Gundy waved the players to their seats and continued loudly:

"Players, thank you for your hard work, which allowed us to win a valuable three-game winning streak in the three away games at the beginning of the season. It can also be regarded as a perfect season-opening gift for our Rockets fans."

"According to the previous practice, the team should let you take a day off tomorrow, so that you can take a break from traveling away from home for more than a week."

"However, we are about to face a devil's schedule. Not only do we have to play 4 games in a week, but the first game is the day after tomorrow. The opponent is the Heat, which ranked first in the Eastern Conference last year."

"So, I have to cancel my vacation. I hope we will be united and ready for this battle the day after tomorrow."

Yao Ming said loudly: "Brothers, the three-game winning streak in the away game is certainly fun, but the next game is our first game at home in the new season. We must always prepare well and not let the folks in Houston get too excited Are you disappointed?"

"Yes." McGrady nodded and echoed, "Especially against the Heat with Shaquille O'Neal. In order to help Yao Ming win the Yao-Sharks battle and for the fans of the Rockets, let's prepare with all our strength!"

Yao shark battle? !

Hearing this word, Zhang Jinshui's heart trembled suddenly.

In the last life, with Yao Ming's retirement, this word gradually became blurred in his memory.

But back then, every confrontation between Yao Ming and Shaquille O'Neal, the strongest center in the NBA, was the focus of attention of basketball fans all over the NBA and even the world.

Unexpectedly, he now personally participated in this confrontation and had the opportunity to help and support Yao Ming.

Zhang Jinshui was so excited that he couldn't wait for the game the day after tomorrow to come sooner.

He shouted along with other Rockets soldiers: "Let's prepare for the battle with all our strength and win the Heat."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the soldiers, Van Gundy nodded in relief, and announced that tomorrow morning will still be reserved for everyone to rest, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, training will start on time at the rocket base.

At 11:15 p.m. Houston time, the Rockets' special plane landed at Houston Airport on time.

Zhang Jinshui followed Yao Ming and pushed the luggage cart out of the pick-up hall.

Immediately afterwards, he was completely stunned by the sight in front of him.
