Except for the duel between Da Yao and Qin Feng.

The Thunder will also face a real test.

You must know that the Rockets are not only an All-Star level player in Da Yao, but also Maddy, a superstar, and a new signing, Artest.

For Artest, the deepest impression of everyone was the Brawl at Auburn Palace.

The Auburn Hills Palace Mass Assault Incident, which occurred in the regular season game between the Pacers and the Pistons in 2004, was the largest, heaviest and most severe mass assault in NBA history.

The cause of this incident was Artest, who had a fiery temper.

And after that brawl, he was also given the most severe punishment by the league, with a 73-game ban.

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 has won the Defensive Player of the Season honor, and he has also been selected to the All-Defensive Team 4 times, and he is a true defensive giant!

At the same time, he also has an all-round attack.

It can be said that it is a balance of offense and defense!

This season, the Rockets spent a huge price to trade "Beast" Artest from the Kings, and formed a Big Three with Yao Ming and Maddy, just to attack the championship.

This lineup is full of deterrence.

Da Yao is good offensively and defensively in the restricted area, and is not afraid of the interior line of any team in the NBA.

Maddie, as the league's top small forward, has the role of charging forward, and can dominate the game with unreasonable offense at critical moments.

Artest, as an outside defensive leader, is the best candidate to limit the opponent's ace!

Coupled with a number of strong role players such as Battier, Scola and Alston, all Rockets fans are full of infinite expectations for the team.

And for Chinese fans, this season may be the year with the greatest hope of Da Yao to hit the NBA championship!

In the new season's team rankings, the Rockets are ranked 5th, and the top four teams in the Rockets are the Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic!

The Thunder team in the rebuilding period met the Rockets when they were strong, and they were more than lucky!

So the biggest focus in this game is not who wins or loses, but what kind of wonderful performance the Thunder can play against the Rockets.

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

.......

In the midst of all the anticipation, the day of the game came as scheduled.

As early as two hours before the game began, Houston's enthusiastic fan base filled the entire Toyota Center Arena.

It can be seen from the cheers and jerseys worn by the fans that Da Yao has a high popularity and status here.

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

Qin Feng, who followed the Thunder team into the arena, was also excited, full of admiration for Da Yao.

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

From entering the NBA as a champion in 2002 to the present, Da Yao has stepped into the pinnacle of his career step by step!

After entering the arena.

Qin Feng was dragged to participate in the team's pre-game interview.

Present at the interview were head coaches Callesimo, Durant, and Qin Feng.

"Qin! Soon you will have to compete with Yao, who is also from Huaxia, what are your emotions now? The

reporters pointed the microphone at Qin Feng one after another.

In their opinion, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the only gimmick that can be reported is the duel between the two Chinese geniuses.

"It's complicated."

"We were teammates in the national team two months ago, but now we are fighting for different teams!"

"It's a really amazing feeling."

Qin Feng said, also a little embarrassed.

"Previously, some media released a news with the headline "When will Chinese rookie Qin Feng get a 50+ score?" Will you try to score 50 points in this game? The

reporter asked again.

"Oh! Dude, I can't answer that question, I don't know what I'm going to do in the game, all I can do is try to help the team win!

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

Qin Feng said, fully expressing his respect for Team Rocket.

"The Rockets traded Artest for the new season and formed a Big Three roster, which is also the first time in your NBA career that you have faced a strong opponent, are you under pressure?"

"Pressure? Inexistent! I'm the only one who puts pressure on others, and no one else can put pressure on me yet!

Qin Feng shrugged and said, very confident.

Hearing this, the reporters were stunned.

Boy.

Even in the face of the powerful Rockets, they are still as sharp as ever!

In addition to the shock, some reporters also had disdainful looks on their faces.

45 points against the Bucks and float into the sky?

The Rockets and Bucks are not teams at the same level.

Last season, the Bucks were only the second-to-last team in the East, while the Rockets were a playoff powerhouse.

This season, the Rockets brought in Artest, which has greatly increased their strength and is regarded as the favorite team for the championship.

If you play well against the Bucks, you won't necessarily play against the Rockets.

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

Everyone no longer interviewed Qin Feng, but turned the microphone to Durant and Callesimo...

.....

Another interview room.

The Big Three of the Rockets were also interviewed by reporters.

"Yao! Do you think Qin Feng's 45 points in his career debut were accidental? The

reporters' eyes all fell on Da Yao.

“No! I think it's strength!

"I participated in the Olympics with Qin Feng as teammates in the Chinese national team, and I am very clear about Qin Feng's strength! He's got an unbeatable amount of attacking ability and a lot of magic in the game.

Yao Ming said seriously, his expression was also a little dignified.

He knew the game was going to be a tough one.

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

The reporters listened carefully to Da Yao's words.

Artest showed a mocking smile, and seemed to be a little disdainful of Da Yao's answer.

"Artest, do you have a different opinion on the question just now?"

Seeing this, the reporter looked over excitedly, looking like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.

"Of course! Yao is a bit exaggerated, but I can understand Da Yao, after all, they are all from China, and commercial touting is still a must.

"First of all, I want 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 lifted slightly.

The reporters' eyes were all round, and their expressions were even more serious.

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