NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

Except for the duel between Dayao and Qin Feng.

The Thunder will also face a real test.

You must know that the Rockets are not only an All-Star player like Yao, but also a superstar McGrady, and the new aid-Artest.

For Artest, everyone's deepest impression is the Auburn Palace fight.

The Auburn Hills Palace gang fight occurred in the regular season game between the Pacers and the Pistons in 2004. It was the largest gang fight with the heaviest punishment and the worst impact in NBA history.

The cause of this incident was the hot-tempered Artest.

After the fight, he was also given the most severe punishment by the league and was suspended for 73 games.

But apart from this fight, Artest is also a very good basketball player as a player.

Not only does he have a tough defense, he once won the honor of the best defensive player of the season, and was also selected to the best defensive team 4 times. He is a real defensive champion!

At the same time, he also has a comprehensive offense.

It can be said to be a balance of offense and defense!

This season, the Rockets traded from the Kings for "The Beast" Artest at a huge price, and formed the Big Three with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. They just want to attack the championship.

This lineup is full of deterrence.

Dayao is good at offense and defense, sits in the penalty area, and is not afraid of the inside line of any NBA team.

As the league's top small forward, McGrady has the role of charging and attacking, and he can dominate the game with unreasonable offense at critical moments.

Artest, as a perimeter defensive vanguard, is the best candidate to limit the opponent's ace!

Coupled with Battier, Scola, Alstom and other powerful role players, all Rockets fans are full of infinite expectations for the team.

For Huaxia fans, this season may be the year that Dayao has the greatest hope of hitting the NBA championship!

In the new season's team rankings, the Rockets rank 5th, and the top four of the Rockets are the Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic.

The Thunder team in the rebuilding period meets the Rockets team when it was strong.

So the biggest focus of this game is not who loses and who wins, but how wonderful the Thunder can play against the Rockets.

For the Rockets, facing weaker opponents, they can have a richer lineup to speed up the team's run-in.

.......

In the eyes of everyone, the day of the game came as scheduled.

As early as two hours before the start of the game, enthusiastic Houston fans filled the entire Toyota Center arena.

It can be seen from the support items and jerseys worn by the fans that Dayao has a high popularity and status here.

As one of the core of the Rockets, as the greatest center of the Rockets after Olajuwon, Dayao has become a symbol of Houston to some extent, and he is also the favorite star in the hearts of fans.

Qin Feng, who followed the Thunder team into the arena, was also very excited and full of admiration for Dayao.

It really takes a lot of hard work to be recognized by a city.

From entering the NBA as the No. 2002 pick in [-] to now, Dayao has reached the pinnacle of his career step by step!

After entering the arena.

Qin Feng was pulled to participate in the team's pre-match interview.

Attending the interview were head coach Carlesimo, Durant, and Qin Feng.

"Qin! Soon you will compete with Yao, who is also from China. May I ask how you feel now?"

The reporters pointed their microphones at Qin Feng one after another.

From their point of view, there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the only gimmick that could be reported was the duel between the two Huaxia talents.

"Very complicated."

"We were teammates of the national team two months ago, but now we are independent and fight for different teams!"

"It's an amazing feeling."

Qin Feng said, also a little embarrassed.

"Before there was a news release from the media, the title was "When will China's rookie Qin Feng score 50+ points?", will you try to hit 50 points in this game?"

The reporter asked again.

"Oh! Dude, I can't answer this question. I don't know how I will perform in the game. All I can do is try my best to help the team win!"

"But I have to say, the Rockets have this qualification to get me 50 points!"

Qin Feng said, fully expressing his respect for the Rockets.

"The Rockets traded for Artest in the new season and formed a lineup of the Big Three. This is also the first time in your NBA career that you have faced a strong opponent. Are you under pressure?"

"Stress? It doesn't exist! Only I can create pressure for others, and no one can create pressure for me!"

Qin Feng shrugged and said, very confident.

Hearing this, the reporters were all taken aback.

Good guy.

Even in the face of the powerful Rockets, he is still as sharp as ever!

In addition to shock, some reporters showed disdain on their faces.

Score 45 points against the Bucks and go to the sky?

The Rockets and the Bucks are not the same level of team.

Last season, the Bucks were only the second-to-last team in the Eastern Conference, while the Rockets were a strong team in the playoffs.

This season the Rockets introduced Artest, their strength has greatly increased, and they are regarded as the favorite team for the championship.

If he performed well against the Bucks, he might not be able to play against the Rockets.

Many reporters couldn't wait for the game to start quickly, and wanted to see how Qin Feng was slapped in the face.

Everyone stopped interviewing Qin Feng, but turned the microphone to Durant and Carlesimo...

.....

Another interview room.

The Big Three of the Rockets are also being interviewed by reporters.

"Yao! Do you think Qin Feng scored 45 points in his career debut by chance?"

The eyes of the reporters all fell on Dayao.

"No! I think it's strength!"

"I participated in the Olympic Games with Qin Feng as teammates in the Huaxia national team. I know Qin Feng's strength very well! He has unparalleled offensive ability, and he can also perform many magical performances in the game."

Yao Ming said seriously, with a serious look on his face.

He knew that the game that was about to start was definitely going to be a tough one.

Qin Feng will never give up the victory of the game easily.

The reporters listened carefully to Dayao's words.

Artest showed a sneering smile, and seemed a little disdainful of Dayao's answer.

"Artest, do you have any different opinions on the question just now?"

Seeing this, the reporter looked over excitedly, as if watching the excitement was no big deal.

"Of course! Yao is a little exaggerated, but I can understand Dayao. After all, they are all from China, and commercial praise is still necessary."

"First of all, I have to admit that Qin Feng has a strong offensive ability. After all, not all players can score 45 points in the NBA."

"but!"

The corners of Artest's mouth raised slightly.

The reporters' eyes were wide open, and their expressions were even more serious.

They knew that Artest's next words were the key!
