Basketball: Dayao Reopened

In addition, ESPN also issued a special article: "Reggie Miller is afraid that he will fall in the finals again, this time, he himself destroyed his hope!"

After the third game of the Finals, Yao Ming had the highest scoring for the Rockets. He scored 39 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and the name that came in second was not thought of by many people. Yes-Katino Mobley was the second-highest scoring player on the Rockets team in yesterday's game. He scored 19 points in total after the game.

18 points higher than Francis.

In the face of Reggie Miller, he successfully scored breakthroughs time and time again, which was the point that impressed fans the most in the third game of the finals, except for Yao Ming's unsolvable "Golden Rooster Independence".

The 39-year-old Reggie Miller really couldn’t help him. Although Reggie Miller also threw 3 three-pointers yesterday, including the three-pointer that equalized in the last few minutes of the game, the Pacers could follow. The Rockets fought hard to the last minute!

But compared to the other players of the Pacers, his single-defense efficiency is really a bit too bad, you know, Mobley's shooting percentage yesterday was as high as 50%!

It's a shame that an outside player is still on the stage of the finals with such a hit rate! ESPN is not aimless.

However, this is ESPN news. The Indiana media did not place the “pot” that was lost yesterday on Reggie Miller. This guy is the hero of the entire Indiana and the guy who dedicated his entire youth to the city. They don’t. I can't blame Reggie Miller for this!

It's just that, even they themselves have to admit that the Pacers' next path is completely difficult!

Although the Rockets won the third game of the Finals with Robert Horry's three-pointer, but after this difficult game, everything became clear for them. !

They already have a 3-0 lead!

If in the history of the NBA, there is a team that has led a 2-0 lead and reversed after completion, then in the case of a 0-3 backward, no team in the NBA has ever been able to complete a reversal.

Win four games in a row and complete the reversal, which is really too difficult!

Therefore, the Indiana media’s posts in these two days basically said "You are already great", "This season we have reached a height that we never thought of"...In words, I have already given up this season, full of " "Looking forward to the new season" means.

What else can I do?

At this time, discussing "who is right and who is wrong" is no longer helpful!

However, again, even they have to admit that the Pacers' final results this season were beyond their expectations. Before the start of this season, even the Indiana media never thought that they Can finally reach the finals this season!

However, even if the Indiana media have given up this season and even acquiesced that the Pacers will be swept out by "4-0", the Pacers have no intention of giving up!

Especially Rashid Wallace. Before the start of the fourth game of the finals, various kinds of actively sought out teammates to give high fives and yelled at the opponent. There was no nervousness of "0-3 behind, if you lose tonight, you will have to be eliminated." Feeling and frustrated, and the rest of the Pacers, with his encouragement, gradually became less nervous!

Yao Ming looked at the mental changes that the Pacers had caused because of him, and he couldn't help but think of the scout report about Rasheed Wallace. There was a sentence in it: He added to the mental attributes of a team. Cheng is undoubtedly huge, he is one of the few guys who can infect his teammates with his own passion!

And now, Yao Ming has witnessed the infectious power of this guy with his own eyes!

It will be another hard fight!

Yao Ming said something in his heart.

Of course, he knew very well that the game would not end in such a simple way... You know, in the last game they fought with this team to the last second before the winner was decided!

Plus... who would want to be swept by "4-0"!

No, at the beginning of the game, the Pacers took the initiative. They opened up the situation with 6-2. The Rockets encountered foul trouble when they came up. Kevin Cato had two fouls and sat down the court early. To make matters worse, after Karl Malone came on the field, he quickly got two fouls. With this one whistle after another, Yao Ming couldn’t help but think of June 18... There were two main players missing, Ben The hard-to-defend "Meat Shield Group" has become even harder. No way, Tom can only increase Battelle's playing time.

But Battelle may be able to fight against a player like the "Shark" twice and play for a minute or two on the court, but it really seems like Wallace and O'Neal who run and shoot mid-range shots. A little clumsy!

In this way, the Pacers opened the point difference to about 8 points before the end of the first quarter.

No way, Yao Ming can only keep scoring from the second quarter, although his "golden rooster independence" state is obviously not as strong as the previous game-of course it is normal. If this is a game, he can shoot 7 of 7 in a single quarter. Then he doesn't have to fight so hard!

However, Yao Ming still scored 13 points in a single quarter. With his 13 points, the Rockets managed to narrow the point difference to 4 points before halftime.

"Yao Ming's time has advanced!" Drexler just learned a new word yesterday and used it today.

Bill Walton frowned: "This is not a good thing!"

After Tom’s interview yesterday, everyone knew that Yao Ming was more accustomed to working hard in the third quarter, and now he moved to the second quarter ahead of schedule. This shows that the Rockets can’t find other ways to solve their problems. Can directly use "nuclear weapons".

But if "nuclear weapons" can be bombed all the way, why should they be placed in the third quarter?

In fact, Bill Walton has already seen that Yao Ming's physical fitness has certain defects, but there is no way. There are not many physical abnormalities in the fifth position. Otherwise, why do you say "An O'Neill will be born in 50 years"?

There are really not many "physical monsters" who play like O'Neal and can play the whole game.

It's also because it's common, so Bill Walton didn't talk about Yao Ming's physical problems.

Moreover, it seems that Yao Ming himself is aware of this problem, and just chose the first half of the game, the way he stood up in the third quarter, in terms of the Rockets' results in these two seasons, and his own performance. , It can be regarded as a good way to overcome this problem. The problem that can be overcome is still a problem?

But today, Bill Walton has a hunch that Yao Mingjiang will lose the game because of his physical fitness "problem"!

I have to say that Bill Walton's vision is quite unique. The brave Yao Ming in the second quarter had to restart the coordinating mode in the third quarter because of his physical fitness. The Pacers opened up the points gap smoothly, and so on. When Yao Ming stood up again in the fourth quarter, the Pacers firmly held the score advantage this time.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Rockets 97-92 at their home court!

Those guys who didn't want to be supported by the idea of ​​"4-0" successfully won the first victory of the finals!

The big score came to 1-3!

The fans in the audience cheered loudly as the whistle of the game sounded. Until the fourth game of the finals, the Pacers fans finally had a reason to shout after the game... Really It's not easy!

The home court commentator listened to the shouts of the audience, and looked a little unable to say: "This is a difficult victory. The Pacers fans have waited for this victory for too long, although the sunset is coming. But this is at least the fire of hope. Don’t give up hope, guys, hope won’t give up on us. Let’s see what happens next!"

He actually wanted to say something more passionate, but the big score of 1-3 was like a big mountain pressing on his heart, so he couldn't relax at all!

Like him, there are these guys from the Pacers, who won the ball just like they lost.

It was Rashid Wallace, who gave them a high-five, and the noisy end, the whole team just had some wins.

And judging from the attitudes of the major media after the game, they also don’t think the Pacers can win. Except that no team in NBA history has been able to reverse the situation when it is 0-3 behind, it is more important. The Pacers' win tonight was full of accidental factors!

First of all, Kevin Cato and Karl Malone were both in "foul trouble." In addition, O'Neal scored 28 points in this game, Artest scored 26 points in this game, of which 10 free throws made 10 of them. Reggie Miller scored 19 points in this game, including 5 three-pointers, and Al Harrington scored 17 points...

Almost all the Pacers players broke out tonight.

But they can't always play in such a good state, nor can they always burst out with a bunch of guys!

"Beach Stand" wrote directly: "You can't expect Artest to score 26 points every night and make all free throws, nor can you expect Reggie Miller to make 5 three-pointers every night. This is too difficult for them!"

And ESPN, who just criticized Reggie Miller yesterday, said: "The Pacers are obviously a team that wins the game by defense, but tonight, they won the game by offense!"

At the end of this article, they also said: "Yao obviously does not want to let the finals return to Houston and then end. It is impossible for the main players of the Pacers to burst out with such scoring ability every night like tonight. Well, although the fifth game of the Finals has not yet started, I think it can be said now, this season is over, let us congratulate the Rockets, they will win the third championship trophy in team history!"

Yes, ESPN has started to celebrate for the Rockets ahead of schedule!

But because of such a negative attitude, the Indiana media did not dare to respond. In fact, a staff member of the Pacers who did not want to be named also said: "After the game, Rick Carlisle returned to the office. Let’s just say it’s a fluke to win tonight! We actually won the Rockets on offense!"

When the two insiders of the opposing team are bothered by "fouls", the Pacers actually have to rely on the offenses of their players to win the game. What does this mean? It means that the Pacers are in exceptional condition in the third game, and it also means that the Pacers have been lucky to win the fourth game. Apart from these two explanations, Rick Carlisle can't think of other reasons...

To be honest, ESPN’s predictions have always been “the tainted milk in the tainted milk”. Before the official start of the fifth game of the finals, Yao Ming was still a little worried about this.

Today’s game is definitely going to be won!

Although the feeling of going back home to celebrate must be great, but if this game loses, the score can be 3-2, and it really allows the Pacers to win another game, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not find the feeling of winning... If they get their form back up, it will only get harder and harder for the Rockets to play in the Finals!

Therefore, they must solve the Pacers in the fifth game of the finals!

This is the meaning of Yao Ming, and the same is true of Tom.

In this game, he directly put Mobley on the starting lineup.

Although the Rockets lost in the fourth game of the Finals, Mobley's performance was still very impressive. Faced with Reggie Miller, he once again scored 18 points with more than 50% shooting, especially in the third quarter. With 7 points, Francis was so excited that when he returned to defense, he hugged his shoulders and shouted at Alexander and Dawson who were sitting on the sidelines at the time: "I see, this is Catino's performance. Get ready for a big contract. Give him, he deserves such a contract!"

Yes, Alexander and Dawson also came to the scene in the last game. Not only did they come, but David Stern and the O'Brien Cup were also there.

Unfortunately, the Rockets failed to win the fourth game of the Finals.

However, Yao Ming still noticed that Francis's words made Dawson, especially Alexander, angry enough.

How big is big!

How big is big!

Um?

I... Yours is not big yet? How big is it!

As Kenny Smith said that day, Mobley became the x-factor in the finals!

It is also because this guy performed so well in the first two games, this game Tom put him directly in the starting lineup.

Relying on Mobley's abrupt, the Rockets beat the Pacers and made a 6-0 start when the game came up.

Rick Carlisle had no choice but to change and put Reggie Miller down.

But this checkpoint outside the three-point line came to a close, the Rockets immediately shrank the lineup, played a 1-3-1 zone defense, and shrank the entire defense line very tightly.

The Pacers who are good at breaking through, such as Artest and Tinsley, suddenly felt that scoring became difficult.

Compared with them, Rashid Wallace and O'Neal have even greater influence. There is only such a small amount of space in the high and low positions. The opponent's entire defense line shrinks so small that the two of them can't open up the space at all. Some pass coordination therefore could not be played.

The Pacers are messier now!

Although the Rockets didn't play any scoring surge, they still played steadily and opened the point difference to 8 points.

It took less than 4 minutes to start the game, and the Rockets gained such a big advantage. No way, Rick Carlisle could only continue to call a timeout.

From Thibodeau’s point of view, Carlisle must put Reggie Miller back on the court. Otherwise, their offense will be very passive, but in this way, how can they help Reggie Miller defend?

"It seems that the Pacers are likely to shrink their defense after the timeout!"

Thibodeau speculated about Carlisle's tactical arrangement on the defensive end. Tom knew what to do when he heard this. He left Kevin Cato off the court and put Robert Horry on the court.

The best way to deal with shrinking defense, do you need to say more?

That's three points!

There was a huge boo when Robert Horry was on the court.

The last three-pointer in the third game of the finals, until now, the Pacers fans still find it hard to let go in retrospect, and even with that, they are angry when they see Robert Horry!

Horry was not surprised by these boos.

It was not the first time he heard hiss.

Speaking of which, it is good enough. Looking at his career data, it is obviously only the data of an ordinary main player, but it can make away fans boo him.

Even on the stage of the finals!

It's not an exaggeration to say a "super role player". Of course, in the later high-force words, Horry is the "perfect championship puzzle"!

Every winning team hopes that there are players like Horry!

The game restarted quickly. Seeing the Rockets' play on the court, Carlisle looked dumbfounded and involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Tom on the other side.

Tom felt a bit, and turned his head and glanced at Carlisle with a "crooked mouth dragon king" smile: Sorry, I predicted your prediction!

Yes, Thibodeau didn’t guess wrong. Carlisle did help Reggie Miller to limit Mobley by shrinking the defensive lineup. He anticipated his wave of operation of the Rockets, so he happily went down. Divide the rain"!

The first quarter hit 8 minutes and 14 seconds. With this three-point rain, the Rockets have established a 13-point advantage!

The feel of the Rockets outside the field after the three-point attempts in these rounds, the heat quickly, from the timeout less than 3 minutes, the Rockets have already made 4 three-pointers.

You know, Yao Ming hasn't started casting yet!

These three-pointers were all made by Shane Battier and Mobley. This made the Pacers' defensive pressure on the outside line suddenly increased, and their entire defense had to spread out.

And it has to spread even more than the previous defense. No way, the opposite three-pointer feels up. If they don't compress their space outside the three-point line as much as possible, it really can't effectively prevent them from scoring.

But the defense line spread so much that Mobley could break through again. At the same time, the middle distance area was also vacant. Yao Ming stood up directly at this time and used one after another CIC to score 8 in a row. Points, in the second quarter to help the team to expand the difference again, the contrast between the two teams once came to 18 points.

"Yao Ming Time" has arrived early!

"This game is obviously over!" Bill Walton looked at the Pacers who were gradually chaotic, and glanced at the auditorium. "Okay, we can see that the Pacers fans have already started to leave. They obviously don't want to watch the Rockets win the O'Brien Cup at their home court!"

The Pacers players also noticed the Pacers fans who started to leave. There is no doubt that watching the fans who supported them before leave at this time is undoubtedly a morale-damaging thing!

The Pacers, who were already a little flustered, were even more depressed.

Even if this team also has Rasheed Wallace to boost morale, it is no longer useful. Moreover, as far as tonight’s play is concerned, Rasheed Wallace’s own performance is not very good. Frequent changes in the first quarter It was very slow to get him into the game tonight. It wasn't until 7 minutes in the first quarter that he hit the first goal of the game, and by the end of the first half, he only scored 6 Minute……

In his state, the Pacers are nearly 20 points behind. It is really useless to talk about blistering!

By the time the game entered the second half, they were already in the middle of being beaten. By half of the third quarter, the score difference was officially opened by the Rockets to more than 20 points!

This is obviously not a score that the normal Pacers would lag behind.

After the third quarter, three minutes into the fourth quarter, seeing that the Pacers failed to fight back effectively, in order to protect the players, Carlisle chose to replace the main players. Naturally, Tom also followed the rules of the river and lakes and put Yao Ming and other main players. Also replaced.

Yao Ming never thought that he was actually sitting on the bench, waiting for the first championship trophy of his career!

However, even when he was sitting, Yao Ming couldn't restrain his excitement.

Two years after the reopening, plus the eight years before the reopening of his professional career, it took him a full ten years to reach this dream O'Brien Cup!

Looking back on this journey, even though it was smooth after the reopening, he still felt a lot, and unconsciously he felt his eye sockets start to heat up.

Of it!

I want to cry!

Really boring!

Yao Ming cursed in his heart.

I thought I was a 40-year-old uncle, it was time to understand everything, and he could control his emotions well!

But now, the facts have proved that the man does not flick when he has tears, but he is not emotional!

When I thought of getting the trophy of my dream only ten years ago, even if I had seen Chairman Yao who had been in a big storm, at this moment, I couldn't control my emotions a little bit.

"His hiss~"

Yao Ming tried to control his emotions. After all, it was still early before the end of the game, but he suddenly heard the sobbing sound next to him, turned his head to look, okay, Karl Malone, who has a big waist and a big waist, is already crying!

The hand that was supposed to be holding the knife was now wiping away the tears that couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.

Who would have thought that the appearance of this Xiaojiabiyu would appear on Karl Malone one day!

However, Yao Ming is still understandable. After all, he almost cried when he finally won the championship in his ten-year career. He who only won the championship in 18 years must be even more excited!

Yao Ming "caringly" offered comfort: "Don't cry, the fourth quarter has just begun, we may not win yet!" Implication, crying early!

These words directly made Karl Malone stunned, the tears that could not be stopped instantly stopped, and he looked at Yao Ming with an uneasy expression: "This, is this not necessarily?"

He is really afraid of another moth!

"Maybe!" Yao Ming continued to "scare".

At this time, the tears in Kalmaron's eyes were also dry, and he looked at the court with a worried look, and looked at the timer from time to time. Yao Ming knew exactly what he was thinking at the moment.

Run faster, run faster, time run faster...

He must be thinking about this!

Because this is what he has in his heart now.

"Well, don't you want to cry immediately?" Yao Ming continued to tease.

Malone reacted right now, and both sides took the substitutes on the field. It made it clear that they would not play anymore, so there is no certainty!

"Yao." Ma Long stretched out his **** directly, expressing a thousand words he wanted to say.

Yao Mingxiao became an emoticon.

Ma Long turned his head, intending to fall silent again into his uneasy emotions. He felt that he should cry for this trophy, after all, his eighteen years of youth have been spent on this trophy.

It's just that Yao Ming is so troubled, how can he still cry!

"Damn it!" Karl Malone "cursed" at Yao Ming again.

Yao Ming ignored him. There were only 3 minutes left. He had already seen David Stern and the O'Brien Cup in the player channel next to him. The official was already preparing for the award ceremony!

Of course, it is indeed time to prepare. After all, the current situation on the field, even if there is Ray Allen on the opposite side, it doesn't work.

As Yao Ming got up, the rest of the Rockets also stood up one after another. Everyone looked excited and waited for the end of the game.

"beep!"

Finally, in the "long" waiting-well, it was also three minutes, and these three minutes tonight seemed extraordinarily long! The game finally ended and the score was fixed at 100 to 87. The Rockets won the game with a 13-point difference and officially rewritten the big score to 4-1!

They officially eliminated the Pacers!

Norris threw the ball directly over the arena.

As his elder brother Francis did after his victory over the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

Then a group of Rockets guys gathered around with Yao's name in excitement, and the camera on the sidelines turned to them for the first time.

Although this is the home of the Pacers, there is no doubt that at this moment, the Rockets are the focus of attention.

After the celebration, Yao Ming noticed that O'Neal hadn't left the field yet, and he greeted the latter. He felt that this guy should be waiting for him.

"Man, congratulations, you won the championship, you deserve this championship trophy!" O'Neal's eyes can still see unwillingness, but Yao Ming can feel it, this guy is sincerely congratulating him.

He said: "Thank you, buddy, see you next season, I'm already worried about meeting you next season!" These words are not all spectacles.

In fact, in this year’s finals, it can be seen that the Pacers are not easy to deal with. If it weren’t for Rasheed Wallace’s two-game suspension, how could the Rockets win the first two games so easily? The difficulty of the third game of the finals can be seen, the Rockets want to deal with them really not easy.

After all, I have to thank Milicic! His assist really helped a lot!

Moreover, if Yao Ming remembers correctly, Stephen Jackson will join the Pacers this summer. The addition of this guy will officially make up for the Pacers’ lack of defense at the second position... As long as the Auburn Hills incident does not occur, this Only the team's combat effectiveness is definitely "five-star", I am afraid that the current Rockets can't beat this team.

Have to continue to strengthen!

Thinking of this, Yao Ming said in his heart.

It's a bad thing that Dawson, who was smiling on the sidelines, didn't hear this, otherwise his smile would have to be frozen on his face.

Are you still human! ?

This didn't win the championship, just forget it, I won the championship, and I still want to reinforce it!

Didn’t you see that the Rockets paid the luxury tax this year?

More reinforcement, how much do you have to pay!

"Well, see you next season!" Obviously, O'Neal is also full of confidence in them next season.

He doesn't know that Stephen Jackson will join this summer, but he believes that after this season's tempering, the Pacers can definitely become stronger!

O'Neal finished his greeting and left. Yao Ming turned his head and looked around. At this moment, the Pacers players on the sidelines have all gone, and the Pacers fans in the entire arena are almost gone. Yao Ming probably glanced. There are only three or four hundred Pacers fans left in the audience watching.

Some of them are curious, some are holding back booing when the Rockets receive the O'Brien Cup!

Later, Yao Ming officially saw the O'Brien Cup entry.

David Stern was beside him, but Yao Ming didn't have David Stern in his eyes at the moment.

Where is David Stern's O'Brien Cup?

It's not that he has never seen the O'Brien Cup, but he has never seen O'Brien so close, and it belongs to his O'Brien Cup!

He must admit that this golden ball is indeed more eye-catching than the silver ball he got in the Western Conference Finals!

The award ceremony then officially began. David Stern showed his iconic smile, and then took the O'Brien Cup from the staff. The heavy trophy made his smile a little reluctant, but he still maintained his face. Above: "Okay, now, I declare that the 2003~2004 NBA championship belongs to the Houston Rockets, congratulations!"

After he finished speaking, Yao Ming also raised the trophy with both hands over his head, and shouted: "We are the champion!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the Pacers fans who hadn't left immediately booed.

Well, it's not that your own home court is boring in the end.

Although the reporters on the sidelines and the Rockets players were screaming vigorously, there were only a few hundred people in the end, and it is impossible to shout the effect of tens of thousands of people...

Far from the atmosphere Yao Ming imagined.

He put down the trophy in his hand with some embarrassment.

However, what he didn't know was that with his shouting, the whole Houston was boiling, and nearly 20,000 fans watching the game at the Toyota Center Arena instantly gave out huge cheers!

The fans at the fan bar outside the stadium and the open-air square celebrating the fans also immediately responded to Yao Ming's shouts. Of course, they were going to be a little crazier, and the ones with the bottles in their hands fell directly to the ground.

In some bars, the excited men and women even took off their shirts. As the live dj said "Tonight belongs to Houston", the taste of the entire bar changed for a while... Passionate celebration is about hormones and estrogen. There was a fierce collision, but just like this, ten months later, the city will have another batch of babies who don't know who their father is.

As excited and cheering as Houston, there are countless Chinese fans watching the channel in front of the TV. At the moment when Yao's famous O'Brien Cup is won, all the fans have the same idea: look, look, This is the player of China going out, who can also stand at the pinnacle of the NBA!

That's awesome!

This moment is a moment of national pride of thousands of Huaxia fans!

This moment is the moment when countless people stick to their belief in basketball!

This moment was also the moment when countless reporters announced the official rise of the Chinese basketball team!

In short, for China, Yao Ming’s championship means too much...

In the studio, Xu Jicheng and the reporters who have been abroad all year round cried directly. Su Qun sighed, "It's not easy, it's really not easy!"

At this point, he was already choked up, and he did not say any more, but this sentence has already been said with all his heartache and hardship!

Yao Ming... didn't cry!

He just wanted to cry when sitting on the bench, but now that moment has passed, and now he doesn't want to cry. He was also very fortunate that he had time to brew emotions on the bench. Otherwise, he represented more than a billion Chinese people, and cried out for a championship, a bit like he had never seen the world!

How good it is now, with this smiling look, he didn't put this championship in his eyes at all, and he didn't have to say anything about it.

Taking advantage of this effort, he turned his head and glanced at the "beings" after the Rockets won the championship. He has to say that there are thousands of people, and Karl Malone, who has just been disturbed by him, still cried. "The assistant coach was hugged tightly by him, and he had to endure his back-beating attacks from time to time, with a face of unlovable life; Francis, Mobley and Norris were hugging each other, and they were surrounding the championship trophy. Go around! The rookie Korver took the trophy carefully, and quickly took his hand back like an electric shock. Kevin Cato was the last to touch the trophy, and then he was silly with the trophy on the side. Compared with them, he had already taken it. Robert Horry, who has had several championship trophies, looked normal. He looked at his appearance and seemed to say: Hey, another one, why is it so easy for me to win the championship? Of course, he is indeed qualified to show this expression, this is already the sixth championship trophy in his career!

After that, Yao Ming took the time to glance at Dawson and his boss Alexander. Don’t say, when the money was spent, the old man with a face was unhappy, but he won the championship, but he was like a lucky cat. It's like eating honey shit!

Sure enough, "Iron Rooster" can't escape the true incense law...

However, Yao Ming also knows why this guy is happy. With this championship, the Rockets can make at least about 40 million yuan, which is equivalent to a wave of money spent on the lineup this season, earning more than half!

Can Alexander be upset!

However, Yao Ming doesn’t have much to say. After all, the team has spent nearly 70 million this season, and they will have to reinforce it next season. As Francis’s contract money increases, Yao Ming’s preliminary estimate is Come down, the money the Rockets will spend on the lineup next season, plus the luxury tax, will be at least 80 million yuan!

So it’s okay, Alexander just laugh if you want...

When he cried!

Maybe I cried tonight...

Now that Dawson is also here, after the award ceremony, Yao Ming must have asked him to talk about the team's construction next season. If you didn't win the championship, you have to think about it. Now that you have won the championship, of course you have to think about how to defend it!

When Yao Ming was thinking about these things, Dawson began to accept interviews with reporters: "This is a wonderful season. When we saw the championship, my boss, Alexander told me that we should strive to pursue the championship. , This is the reason why we paid the luxury tax this year. It now seems that everything is worth it. Of course, we must thank Yao, Steve Francis, and all the Rockets players. It is the hard work of everyone. We Only then can we win this year's O'Brien Cup..."

This is a standard "dog licking" speech, and Dawson clearly remembers who paid him.

Of course, he did complete the tasks assigned to him by the boss with high quality, and protected the wallet of Alexander this miser.

Alexander also gave a speech afterwards. When he said "I am willing to spend money for the team to win the championship, there is no doubt about it", Yao Ming almost laughed out loud.

His words are the same as Reggie Miller's rubbish, they are very funny.

Then came the team representative’s speech. Yao Ming knew that he would definitely win the finals FMVP, so he gave the opportunity to speak to Francis. Francis was also polite: "After experiencing the defeat last season, we are finally in this season. Successfully won the championship. This is an unforgettable season. It’s really great that I, Yao, and the brothers of the entire team are fighting side by side! I hope the Alexander boss can prepare a big contract for them, and they deserve it. Big contract!"

When Alexander, who was still smiling, heard this, his entire smile froze on his face, and Dawson, who was smiling next to him, immediately stopped his smile. Yao Ming looked at the scene and finally couldn't help." Pouch" laughed out.

This caught the attention of the reporter who was interviewing. She looked towards Yao Ming: "Yao, did you think of something?"

Yao Ming waved his hand: "I just feel that winning the championship is really wonderful!" Can he still say that he smiled because he saw Alexander's bitter face?

While Francis was speaking, the voting team composed of 7 reporters on the sidelines was also voting for the "Finals FMVP". In fact, there was nothing to vote for. In the five finals, Yao Ming averaged 35.2 points and 13.4 rebounds per game. 4.6 assists and 3.2 blocks, which is more than a little bit higher than other Rockets players. In most of the finals, the data can already see the ownership of the finals FMVP, and the final result is not unexpected, 7 votes They are all Yao names...

Yao Ming therefore became the first Chinese player in the NBA to win the FMVP of the Finals, and of course the first international player!

However, everyone knows that this is the honor Yao Ming deserves. The second after he held up the FMVP trophy of the Finals, there was also a round of applause and cheers, especially the brothers standing behind the Rockets. Holding Yao Ming kept shaking, almost dangling the FMVP trophy in his hand, but when Yao Ming took the microphone, they consciously stopped playing.

Yao Mingshou rubbed the FMVP trophy of the finals and looked at the camera of Qi Shushu aimed at him. At this moment, he felt a little bit more unreal.

But he quickly realized that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He also quickly adjusted his emotions and said: "This is my second season. I never thought I would win the championship so quickly, but I must I have to admit, the feeling of winning the championship is really great! This moment is what I want to experience again, I will come back to this stage again, and then hold the cup again!"

Originally, Yao Ming still had some sensational things to say, but he felt that he was almost out of control, so he said a few words in a hurry, and immediately retreated to the back of the crowd.

The camera is no longer facing, Yao Ming immediately feels much better...

Phew, okay!

I didn't cry!

He didn't want to recall in the future when he won his first championship trophy, it was a tearful photo... Maybe it would become a "classic handed down" like his smile. This is not impossible. For example, didn't the crying face of the "Little Emperor" in Kecun become the "classic photo" that Zhan Hei would often take out and read in the future? One "classic" is enough, so he should provide less material for future web writers!

After Yao Ming’s speech, the NBA 03~04 season was officially frozen. The Houston Rockets became the final championship of this season, and Yao Ming has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of this season. It can be seen from his honor. After winning the "Rookie of the Year" and "All-Star MVP" last season, this season he won the "Rebounding King", "Block King" and "Regular Season MVP" and "Most Valuable Player Award". In the "Rookie Challenge MVP", the championship ring, and if not surprising, at the end of this season, he will continue to be selected for the "Season's Best Team" and will be selected for the "Defensive Team"! It can be said that in just two seasons, he has almost won all the NBA awards...

Even Yao Ming felt a bit exaggerated at the speed of winning prizes.

However, that's right. Only in this way can it be considered a "genius start"! How about showing him strong?

Moreover, Yao Ming feels that this is nowhere, brother wants the stars and the sea!

After that, it was the post-match interview and other favorite links. Yao Ming had dealt with all the reporters and conducted an exclusive interview with reporters from China, and then returned to the locker room to send a text message to Ye Li.

Once opened, 99+ unread text messages also made him feel big for a while-these are all to be returned!

But before that, he planned to call Ye Li to share his feelings at the moment.

When he found Ye Li's contact information, he discovered that the latter had called him four or five calls and sent several text messages, all of which were congratulatory text messages.

He also answered the call immediately.

After talking on the phone with Ye Li, Yao Ming got a message from Francis that there was heavy fog tonight and the plane could not fly, so he had to stay in Indiana for one night.

Yao Ming nodded, indicating that he knew it.

"Are you going to play with us? Yao!" Francis's expression immediately became wretched. Obviously, this "playing" was very rude.

Yao Ming waved his hand: "Go ahead!"

If he is free, it is better to return all these congratulatory text messages!

Francis was not surprised by Yao Ming's answer, and waved away by himself.

Yao Ming just returned text messages all the way back to the hotel.

As soon as he lay down in the room, Yao Ming accidentally received a call from Kobe.

"Huh? Man, aren't you on the plane?" Kobe was also a little surprised to get through.

"Say it's foggy tonight and I can't go, what's the matter, buddy?"

"Oh... just happened to watch the game and saw that you won the championship, congratulations!"

Okay, still a congratulatory call.

Yao Ming prepared to deal with a few sentences and then hung up the phone. He still has so many text messages that he hasn't returned! But something suddenly occurred to him, and he said to Kobe: "Man, in the foggy weather, absolutely can't take a plane!"

"Huh?" Kobe obviously didn't understand what Yao Ming was talking about. Now that he can't walk in the foggy weather, it doesn't seem to be me?

"Have you heard?" Yao Ming asked blankly regardless of Kobe's reaction.

"Um..." Kobe was also dumbfounded by the question, and nodded in a daze.

After a few more "happily" conversations, Yao Ming hung up the phone and continued to reply to text messages. He was busy for about half an hour. These text messages were finally returned. He quickly threw his hand away. Anyway, he was before tomorrow. I don't want to touch my phone anymore.

But for the one who just won the championship, he couldn't fall asleep right away, so what should he do? He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly realized that he had planned to talk to Dawson tonight.

Hmm... That's a good idea!

So, five minutes later, Yao Ming knocked on the door of the hotel room where Dawson was staying.

"Man, why are you here?" Dawson opened the door and saw that Yao Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Yao Ming to knock on his door tonight. It is said that the night of the championship should be celebrated. Francis, have they all gone to the nightclub!

Yao Ming said, "I have something to find you, buddy!"

"OK, come in and talk, Yao!" He stepped aside and let Yao Ming enter the door. After closing the door, he asked, "Would you like a coffee? I just made a cup, if I need it, I can help you. Give it a hand!"

"I'm so good at hand..."

"No, no!" Yao Ming waved his hand quickly, he was not blessed to accept it.

"Huh huh!" Dawson didn't force himself, sitting on the chair, holding up the hand-made coffee he had just made, and taking a sip, "Let's talk, Yao, what's the matter, you know, as long as I can do it... …" It seemed that the cup he made was better than usual, and Dawson took another sip.

"That's right, General Manager Dawson, I want to talk to you about the Rockets' reinforcement during the off-season!" Yao Ming is straightforward.

"Puff~"

Dawson had just touched the taste of coffee in his mouth, and was about to swallow it. Hearing Yao Ming's words, he sprayed it out. Fortunately, Yao Ming sat on his side, or else it sprayed Yao Ming's face.

It is not funny to be sprayed by a man, Yao Ming patted his chest with joy.

"Sorry, sorry, the coffee is too hot, I couldn't help it!" Dawson quickly apologized, and subconsciously found paper and handed it to Yao Ming. Knowing that Yao Ming had not been splashed, he took back the tissue in his hand. Sorry, buddy, I didn’t hear what you just said."

As soon as Yao Ming heard this, he knew that this guy was delaying time and wanted to gag him, but what he lacks most now is time, repeating: "I want to talk to you about the Rockets' reinforcement for the new season. problem!"

"Heh~" Dawson barely squeezed out a smile, it seems that he has sorted out his speech, "Yao, we just won the championship!" Don't you need to be so anxious?

"I know we just won the championship, but this is indeed past tense. We were the strongest team in the 03~04 season, and we were not necessarily the strongest team in the 04~05 season!" Yao Ming said, "So, We must strengthen!"

"But, Yao, reinforcement needs to be targeted. I don't see any problems with our team for the time being. Seriously, we don't need to reinforce so quickly..." Dawson tried to convince Yao Ming. When Yao Ming came today, he actually had a premonition that this guy is here to discuss the new season lineup. After all, this is not the first time, but Dawson originally thought Yao Ming was asking him to win this season at best. The depth of the lineup is maintained. Although it is very difficult, it may not be impossible to operate it. You must know that they won the championship this season! This means that there will be many high-quality veterans for them to choose from this summer! What does veteran mean? Means basic salary, means cheap!

Dawson's original idea was to fill the team with these veterans who "hold the thigh"...

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming's goal is not just to maintain the lineup this season, he actually wants to strengthen the lineup!

OMG!

God!

Is this guy crazy?

Doesn't he know that we are the championship this season, the strongest team?

Doesn't need to be strengthened at all!

This was the broken thoughts in Dawson's heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Yao Ming. After the game next year, he will have to discuss the new contract with Yao Ming. He doesn't want to get stuck in his relationship with Yao Ming.

He forced a smile: "What do you think? Yao, I said, right?"

Yao Ming shook his head slightly: "Man, if you think we are this year’s championship, we don’t need reinforcements, that’s really naive, just look at the Spurs! They just didn’t make up well last summer. Strong, so they lost to us, I don’t want to go through such a thing!"

"But..." Dawson wanted to say something.

Yao Ming ignored his interruption and continued: "General Manager Dawson, I came to the NBA from China for the championship! You have to know this, I am not here for Houston!" If I If I can't win a championship with the Rockets, then I will leave the Rockets and go to other teams where I can win the championship!

This is a direct lore, anyway, after Yao Ming said this, Dawson didn't answer a word for a long time... he obviously understood what Yao Ming meant!

After understanding the meaning of Yao Ming's words, he just didn't respond for a long time.

He doesn't know what to say...

Yao Ming suddenly expressed to him the idea of ​​"If you don't strengthen the team, then leave", his whole brain panicked!

call!

After taking a deep breath several times, Dawson tried to ease the atmosphere: "Man, I'm not saying not to build a team with hope of winning, don't get me wrong, Yao, hahaha, haha..."

After an awkward smile, "What I want to say is that we are a championship team and our strength is enough, so we should stabilize this lineup first. On this basis, we are considering the next thing... "

But where is Yao Ming so easy to pass: "So, what do you think? Man, I need to know what you think!"

"..."

Dawson was silent again.

It's not that he is out of ideas.

He has a lot of ideas about the off-season, such as using two ready-made picks to search for "treasures" in the draft, and then waiting for those old prospects who want to hold their thighs to vote. These are all his ideas.

But how dare he say these ideas now!

If he speaks out these thoughts, I'm afraid Yao Ming will have to talk like that just now.

He can only make up a nonsense: "Man, to be honest, I did have some actions, but sorry, I can’t tell you yet because I’m not sure whether I can complete this transaction yet. I’m worried about telling you now and making you nothing. Have fun, this is not what I want to see!"

"Deal?" Yao Ming frowned. In his impression, this offseason, the Rockets management did make a deal that he hadn't thought of.

As a result, he has more vigilance in his eyes: "It's related to Steve? Or is it related to Cardino? Or is it related to other major players?"

"Huh?" Dawson was dumbfounded by his question.

He is just ridiculous, how can he know who it is related to?

"I hope the team can reinforce on the existing basis. I and Steve are very happy to work together!" Looking at Dawson's "playing stupid" appearance, Yao Ming gave him a vaccination, and he didn't I don't want to see that deal happen. The years before the reopening have proved that Mr. "Scoring King" for two years is not compatible with him!

"Um... OK, don't worry, this deal has nothing to do with them!" Dawson was completely confused, he just wanted to stabilize Yao Ming first, so he agreed to whatever Yao Ming said.

However, he added, "However, man, I do not guarantee that the transaction will be successful. I can only say that if it succeeds, it will be a strong supplement!"

Oh~ wait for me!

Listening to what he said, Yao Ming muttered in his heart, and said quietly, "Man, as long as you work hard, I can help you lobby together if necessary!"

"..." This sentence directly left Dawson speechless. Are you helping lobbying? You are monitoring me for trading!

Cunning guy!

Dawson has one head, two big!

But he maintained his smile and said, "Okay, Yao, I will call you if necessary, but for the time being, I think I can handle it!"

"That's good, General Manager Dawson, looking forward to your good news!"

After saying this, a "happy" conversation ended.

Yao Ming got up and left. Dawson sent him out with a smile. The moment he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared.

It's so difficult!

Dawson has been in this industry for so many years. It is really the first time that he came to the general manager's office to block the door on the night of the championship and ask for "team strengthening"!

The attitude is still so tough!

Good or bad, just coaxed this guy away...

However, Dawson didn't even have time to breathe. He directly looked for his cell phone and called Alexander.

Of such a big thing, he certainly has to let Alexander come to his mind!

"Hey, what's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Alexander's voice was steady.

But Dawson believes that he will not be so calm soon: "That's it, BOSS, Yao just came to me, and he hopes the team will continue to strengthen!"

"..."

silence!

Continuous silence!

For a long time after Dawson finished the news, Alexander didn't reply. If it weren't for his thicker breathing, Dawson even wondered if this guy had hung up the phone.

"We are already champions!" Alexander held back for a long time, before suffocating such a sentence.

Dawson wanted to say that I already told him that!

But he didn't cut Alexander's mouth, he knew that the latter hadn't finished.

"This guy is really a vampire!" Sure enough, Alexander scolded again, "Does he have no idea how much money I have already spent!"

"I could have made a lot, but now, I have lost tens of millions because of him! He actually wants me to reinforce the lineup!"

"Fxxk!"

Alexander, who had been speaking in a low voice, finally couldn't help but cursed the United States.

After he finished cursing, his voice lowered again: "Don't worry about what he said..." Lao Tzu didn't strengthen it, so why?

"What he means is that if he doesn't make up, he will leave the Rockets and go to the team that allows him to win the championship!" Although Dawson knew that Alexander might be even more angry after listening, he had to tell Alexander about Yao Ming's attitude. ...

"..."

silence……

There was another long silence!

Just like Dawson, Alexander, who knows Yao Ming’s attitude, can’t believe it. This guy’s attitude is so tough: "Does this guy do not know, I selected him to the NBA, so he can be like now. Beautiful!"

"Damn it, **** Huaxia!"

"Who does he think he is! Take away from the team to scare me, this guy's guy!"

"Fxxk!"

Alexander was completely unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and he yelled at him, but just when Dawson thought that Alexander was completely out of control, Alexander, who yelled a few words, suddenly said: "You first calculate how much it takes to maintain the current lineup. Money!"

Forehead?

Um?

Ah?

It's been fierce for a long time, that's it!

Dawson has a small head and a big question mark.

The meaning of this is obviously very clear, Alexander has already begun to consider Yao Ming's reinforcement...

Isn't this amazing?

Actually let the "iron cock" spend money!

Dawson felt that he was impressed by Yao Ming!

However, it’s normal to think about it. Yao Ming has only been here for two years, and the Rockets’ market value has doubled, and the endorsements are more than ten times more than before. Such a "Yao Qianshu" The more you spend, the more you can earn! Alexander is not a fool. Without a Yao name, how could he make so much!

If you can't make money or make a little less, as long as you are not stupid, you know how to choose!

There is a saying that "wealth can make people push ghosts", and if there is enough commercial ability to attract money, Alexander can relax and strengthen!

"Okay, I will do the calculations right away!"

Dawson didn't hesitate, and immediately moved out of the computer and began to estimate the salary required for the Rockets to retain the entire lineup. It was just that the numbers he got more and more frightened. It was too scary... Is the boss sure he can still spend money on this basis?

If not, what should I do?

The summer night is very short, and Dawson's heart is flustered...

...

The next morning, the Rockets officially returned to Houston.

Yao Ming originally thought that many fans would come to greet him at the airport. As a result, many fans did come to pick up the plane, but in the same way, many police officers also came.

Yao Ming was stunned by these battles. If this was the Indiana airport, he could understand it, but this was Houston! Their treatment here should be similar to that of heroes. What a strict martial law!

When I asked, I found out that the Rockets won the championship last night. Excited fans celebrated all night. After drinking too much, they started making trouble, and there were several car smashing incidents.

The police in Houston were also afraid that the Rockets fans would make trouble again when they came to pick up the plane, and they have just imposed a certain degree of martial law...

Well, it really is a free America!

Yao Ming is not surprised at this kind of thing, or why there are fewer foreigners! They are either doing death or on the way to death!

"Yao!"

"Yao!"

"Yao!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

As the Rockets’ greatest hero in winning the championship, as soon as Yao Ming appeared at the airport, there was a unified cheers. All fans of the city!

Houston... Now it can be renamed "The City of Yao Ming"!

Yao Ming waved to them ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then parted with his teammates. After sitting down in the car, his whole body also unloaded instantly.

Finally, the off-season is here!

Yao Ming, who has struggled for a season, feels extraordinarily relaxed at this moment!

In fact, he is still very busy this off-season. It is also the recording of variety shows, the 2004 Athens Olympics, and his own training. In time, he has to urge Dawson to strengthen the team. It can be said that he has nothing to do. Arrangement, the whole off-season has been fully arranged!

However, the end of this summer will be easy. There will be no Olympics in the next off-season, and there will be no Asian Championships to grab Olympic tickets. He can find some reason not to participate...

Moreover, before he started busy with the summer, at least a week before the start of the Rockets championship celebration, he had nothing to do!

In other words...

WoW, here I am!
