NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

But at this moment, "Drip! Drip!" Two harsh car horns came from behind.

Zi Chunlin immediately jumped out of Zhang Jinshui's arms, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Zhang Jinshui was about to go crazy, he pulled off his seat belt, and said viciously: "I want to fight the driver of the car behind!"

"Don't go. It won't be in the future..." Zi Chunlin grabbed Zhang Jinshui's sleeve, halfway through speaking, her delicate and pretty face was already full of red.

Zhang Jinshui's heart was pounding, he stared at Zi Chunlin with burning eyes, and asked, "Sister Chunlin, what is it going to be in the future? I don't quite understand."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zi Chunlin's face, he turned his face to the other side, and pretended to be cold and said: "Go in quickly, don't be late."

Now Zhang Jinshui wants to sing happily in his heart.

However, he knew too well how thin-skinned Zi Chunlin was hiding behind the setting of a strong woman in the workplace. He didn't dare to say more or do anything out of line. After bidding farewell to Zi Chunlin, he obediently took his luggage and left car.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jinshui came to the waiting room dedicated to the Rockets. Van Gundy, Dawson, Tracy McGrady and other Rockets players were almost all there, except Yao Ming's tall figure.

Seeing Dawson waving for everyone to get on the plane together, Zhang Jinshui couldn't help asking in surprise, "Where is Yao Ming? Are we not waiting for him?"

Van Gundy explained: "Yao Ming has just finished playing back-to-back games, and his body is a bit overworked. Considering that the upcoming schedule is still very difficult, the team decided to let Yao Ming take a preventive rest for two games, wait for us to come back in Houston, and participate in the home game. Pistons game."

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help but feel happy. In the game against the Pistons at home, there is an inside killer who has fully recovered his physical functions. The probability of victory will definitely increase a lot, and his own system tasks will be easier to complete.

......

At 09:30 in the morning, the Rockets' special plane took off from Houston Airport on time.

Minnesota is nearly 2000 miles away from Houston, and it takes at least two and a half hours to fly by special plane.

On the plane, the players went about their business.

Alston and others were singing along to the CD player, Maddie and Anderson were chatting together, Hyde and David Wesley were playing board games, Zhang Jinshui sat next to Uncle Mu and Uncle Huo, and planned to teach Ai Da How do two people fight the landlord in poker.

After a while, Van Gundy stood up suddenly, clapped his hands, and said:

"Everyone, the league officially announced the various lists after one and a half weeks of the start of the new season last night, including the record list, best of the week, MVP list, team strength list, etc.

ESPN, TNT and SB have programs this morning to discuss these lists. If you are interested, you may wish to watch these programs and listen to what they say about our Rockets and other teams. "

"Okay!"

"Let's listen together, our Rockets are now the top team in the league, right?"

McGrady, Uncle Mu, Anderson and other players sat back in their seats and turned on the small TV in front of them.

It is rare that the Rockets have achieved the best start results in the past ten years, and they are naturally willing to listen to others' praise.

Zhang Jinshui was no exception. He returned to his seat, turned on the small TV, and tuned to the replay of the live program that just ended on SB TV in the morning.

Maybe because of Ye Liangcheng, whom I haven't seen for a long time, Zhang Jinshui especially likes to see if SB TV has any remarks against him.

SB TV's program is called "NBA FireWire Review". The live broadcast venue is a large studio, and a large screen about 4 meters wide and 3 meters high is hung on the wall behind it.

There is a single sofa and two long sofas in the center of the studio. The host Ram is sitting on the single sofa, and the other four guests are sitting on the two long sofas.

Zhang Jinshui took a closer look and found that apart from Kenny Smith and Big Mouth Barkley among the guests, the other two were also familiar faces. They were retired legendary NBA stars Reggie Miller and Drexler.

The show first listed the east and west record rankings as of last night on the big screen.

东部排名前四的球队分别是7胜0负的活塞队，5胜1负的篮网队，5胜2负的热火队和5胜2负的骑士队。

西部排名前四的球队则是7胜0负的马刺队，6胜0负的火箭队，6胜1负的小牛队和5胜1负的太阳队。

The Rockets have such excellent results, but they can only rank third in the league, which shows the abnormality of the Pistons and Spurs.

And the Rockets are about to play against the Pistons and Spurs in back-to-back games. It can also be seen how unfriendly the league's schedule for the Rockets is.

Immediately afterwards, the program showcased and discussed the best players of the week in the East and West.

The best player in the East is LeBron James Jr. Although the Cavaliers have only achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the past five weeks, LeBron James has played in seven games and averaged 33.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Personal data is absolutely monster level.

The best player in the West is Yao Ming.

The vast majority of Rockets players should be watching the replay of the SB TV program like Zhang Jinshui. After seeing this part, they cheered happily.

"Wow, our Yao Ming is the player of the week in the Western Conference."

"Yes, as expected."

"It's a pity that Yao Ming is not on the plane, otherwise we can help him celebrate together, sing a song or something, hahahaha."

Zhang Jinshui is also very happy for Yao Ming in his heart.

In the past week and a half, Yao Ming played 6 games for the Rockets, averaging 23.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 63% from the field. .

Lahm, the host of "NBA FireWire Review" and the guests also expressed that Yao Ming deserved to be the best player of the week.

So far, the opinions of the guests are relatively consistent, and the atmosphere of the program is quite harmonious.

However, when the team's strength list appeared on the big screen, different views began to emerge.

In this list, the top 10 teams are the Spurs, Pistons, Rockets, Mavericks, Heat, Suns, Nets, Cavaliers, Grizzlies and Clippers.

The Spurs and Pistons deserved the top two, but Reggie Miller and Drexler said that the Rockets should not be in front of the Mavericks.

Although the record is not as good as that of the Rockets, the Mavericks lose most of the games away to the Spurs, which is not of much reference value, and the Mavericks' bench lineup is much deeper than that of the Rockets.

Kenny Smith and Big Mouth Barkley disagree.

They believe that if Zhang Jinshui is counted as the main force, then the Rockets' main lineup is stronger than that of the Mavericks, which can make up for the gap in the bench lineup. If Zhang Jinshui is counted as a substitute player, then the Rockets' bench lineup may not necessarily Worse than the Mavericks, the team with the better record is at the top without any problems before the two teams go head-to-head.

The program stayed on this topic for 2 minutes, but because the rankings of the third and fourth were not much different, the debate was not very intense.

However, after the next MVP list came out, when three Rockets players were selected for the MVP list, the debate among the four guests finally entered a heated stage.
