basketball never sleeps

Chapter 116 The bear rubs against the tree

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the young people who stayed up to watch the Spring Festival Gala were picked up by their elders before they could have a cup of tea with Duke Zhou. They walked around the streets of the village looking for their elders and began to pay New Year greetings.

After paying New Year greetings to distant elders on the phone and eating dumplings, Zhang Weiping drove to the TV station while humming a little tune.

The smoke from last night's jubilation can still be seen on the deserted road. At this time, Yanjing has banned fireworks for 11 years. However, even the emperor's feet cannot resist the people's persistence in traditional customs.

Yangma’s broadcasting building does not appear so deserted to the outside world. Entertainment media workers do not have holidays. Youdao is——

"We won't take a vacation until the earth explodes, and we won't rest until the universe restarts."

Sports channels, which used to be relatively idle at this time in the past, are particularly lively this year.

"Hey, Teacher Zhang is here. Happy New Year, happy New Year."

Seeing Zhang Weiping arriving, several people in the office bowed their hands and paid New Year greetings.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Sun, Xiao Yang, and I wish you all a happy New Year too."

After a brief visit, the group browsed the news sent back by their American colleagues. After the makeup artist who stayed behind put on the "Emperor's New Makeup", they entered the studio decorated in the Year of the Rooster style as usual.

Not only did he not receive a red envelope during the New Year, but he was also given a prostitute for free. He is worthy of being the 1.3 billionth successor, purely serving the people.

Sun Zhengping: "Ah yes!"

In the online live broadcast room, the discussion column also began to scroll at an extremely fast speed.

In addition to being biological brothers, Da Fan and Xiao Fan both started their head coaching careers in Riley's class. They have roughly the same idea of ​​team building, and their coaching level is about the same.

"There must be a lot of people celebrating the New Year, but don't people nowadays need to pay New Year greetings?"

Compared with Riley, who knows how to build a reasonable team, Rockets general manager Dawson is also touted as a "cardinal" figure, but in addition to following two rings with Tang Shuai and Dameng, he also

You can just match the number of years in office as a cardinal.

Team Rocket's starting lineup: Musashi, Kojiro, Meow Meow...ahem, it's all on the line...

The two of them received almost the same tasks before the game: 1. Win the game; 2. Try their best to help their own players score high points; 3. Try their best to prevent the opponent's Chinese players from scoring high scores.

"Both the Rockets and the Heat are tall men holding the ball. Tsk tsk, this dribbling really made Mo Wen happy... Hey, he shot, super long distance... hit! Super long three-pointer in regular time, the entire

Mo Wen is the only one in the league who has this ability. Others who dare to play like this are just fooling around, but Mo Wen's vote is still reasonable." Director Zhang pointed out.

"Give the ball to Yao Ming, give it to Yao Ming!... Oh, that's right. It makes sense to let Yao Ming hit O'Neal in the middle distance. Look at this dance move. Yao showed his real skills when he came up... O'Neal was shaken and lost his temper.

Yes, Dayao scored with a one-handed throw, so beautiful!"

Not only because his cousin's family was sitting on the sidelines, but more importantly, he knew that his parents and relatives at home must also be watching.

Doing this will not ruin the game, but it will slowly drag the team down.

"Happy New Year, bro!"

After noticing where Mo Wen was, Aopang pushed it in the direction of Mo Wen without moving it inwards.

As the two become more famous in China, their income from Chinese stadium advertising and broadcasting has also increased.

But who can take advantage depends on the skills of the two teams.

The finale singing performances by Mo Wen, Britney and Aopang pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Sun Zhengping: "Ah, yes, yes!"

However, it is obvious that a child with parents protecting him is much more comfortable than a child living independently.

"It's not the same for us. We commentate on their games. It's just that we have an extra big red envelope to get, hehe."

······

From lion and dragon dances to traditional acrobatics, to singing with traditional Chinese instruments, it can be said that in terms of opening performance, today's opening performance has surpassed all-star openings in previous years.

Wesley, who is only 1.88 meters tall, can be said to be the first generation of "big mountain". He is strong, not fast but has great strength. James, who can only be topped by a mountain in Puerto Rico, cannot move forward, but Wesley can push Emperor James

From the top of the penalty area to beyond the three-point line.

The personnel composition of the two teams is very similar, both are combo guards + 3D + ball-pointing small forward + blue-collar power forward + power center.

Like his later successor Gou Lei, he is a guy who likes to study data more than the actual game performance of players when recruiting players, and he is especially fond of old players with better-looking high-level statistics.

Riley, who came with the team, looked at the prosperous Toyota Center and curled his lips in disdain. Alexander was willing to spend money just to make more money.

"Dayao and Xiaomo are also working hard. They have to compete during the Chinese New Year."

"If the Rockets don't lose, they will definitely win."

The scheming Rockets invited Britney to come over in order to consume his physical energy, and arranged a singing program for him and Shaq during the pre-opening performance. The most outrageous thing was that there was no singing fee.

During the warm-up session, the brothers Da Fan and Xiao Fan looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

However, Mo Wen is not Azhan. He has rich experience and did not choose to hit the ball hard. Instead, he performed a wave of Kun brother's classic moves for the audience before serving - the bear rubbing against the tree (limited edition for the Year of the Rooster).

On the field, after the warm-up, the players from the two teams stood on both sides of the center circle at the referee's signal.

Don't talk about the merits of picking Dayao. If someone with a normal mind had come over, the Rockets would have picked Dayao that year.

The NBA New Year's China Derby, which has been promoted domestically for half a month, has achieved as much effect as the NBA's promotion of the Christmas Day game in the United States.

When the director heard the data, he was happier than the child who received the red envelope.

"I have to say that Xiao Mo is still a little bit reluctant to let go. The way he avoided Britney the whole time was like a child in school. He is too well-behaved and has no domineering attitude on the court." Yang Jian laughed.

On TV, Zhang Weiping was still leading his team to wish everyone New Year greetings, but the person in charge of the broadcast received the news that the ratings exceeded 10.

"Mo Wen received the ball and threw away Wesley... There was someone under the basket, Sula, what Mo Wen said, three steps slow... Picking the basket, beautiful! Mo Wen's pick has become his signature

The scoring method, just look at how smoothly this goal was scored!" Zhang Weiping put his hands together and resisted the urge to high-five.

Ao Pang is half a head shorter than Yao Ming, but his wingspan is much longer than that of Yao Ming. Although his height when standing is within a few centimeters, Ao Pang, who has better bounce, was the first to touch the basketball.

Because of the addition of Mo Wen, the influence of basketball in China is far greater than in previous generations. Nowadays, basketball has become the hottest sport in the world where the sense of substitution is getting lower and lower. It is better not to compare some things, but it is not good in the first place.

, in another comparison, except for a few true loves, few can withstand this sense of gap.

I checked their eyes and saw that they are all people with a mission.

"Brother Mo's shoes will be officially released during the All-Star Game in half a month. Brother above, do you regret it?"

At this moment, Mo Wen was rehearsing today's performance with Britney and O'Neal in a separate lounge arranged by the Rockets.

Therefore, James was particularly impressed by Wesley, so if he couldn't solve the problem, he would solve the problem. After Wesley's contract with the Rockets ended, the Cavaliers decisively offered him a veteran contract...

It seems quite appropriate to let him defend himself. Although Wesley is not fast and a little short, he has an absolute advantage in strength.

Mo Wen ran to the Rockets' half-court position, but before he could stand still, his back was stuck tightly.

"Who do you think can win today's game?"

Looking back, it turned out to be Wesley, who was a head shorter than him.

And judging from Wesley's positioning and confrontation skills, he has great experience in confrontation. Defending players like Mo Wen who are not fast and mainly rely on rhythm to increase confrontation is indeed the simplest and correct way to solve the problem.

Several commentators in the studio were making jokes while debugging the equipment.

Both teams, which have reaped the dividends of the Chinese market, want to occupy more of this big pie.

"I came to watch the game without even taking the red envelope. Did I do the right thing, brothers?"

Just like the Christmas game, regardless of the aura of media and official hype, it is just a regular season game.

The league and the Rockets have put a lot of thought into preparing for today's big battle. The Rockets boss Alexander, who usually sticks to his guns, also showed his generosity for once. He used a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars to decorate the Toyota Center into a New Year's party hall. He also found domestic

Drama troupes and American stars came to perform, and a full half-hour program was arranged before the game. It could be called a little Spring Festival Gala.

David Wesley, Sula, Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, Yao Ming;

Heat starting lineup: Wade, Mo Wen, Rasul, Haslem, O'Neal;

The sumptuous pre-match performance ended with Yao Ming and Mo Wen's New Year greetings. Players from both sides who had had enough of the excitement were finally able to return to the court that originally belonged to them.

Although the pre-match atmosphere was quite high, the players on both sides of the match did not feel much nervous.

But just because a player isn't nervous doesn't mean others can be so calm.

But Mo Wen acted very restrained today, even a little shy.

Comparing the lineups of the two teams, except for McGrady, who seems to be stronger, in other positions, the Heat players completely surrounded the Rockets players on both offense and defense.

The Rockets cheerleading outfit Britney wore today was quite cool and quite hot, and her several interactions with Mo Wen were also a bit provocative.

This is not an exaggeration. When Wesley was in the Hornets last season, every time he played against the Cavaliers, he was responsible for guarding James for the entire game. Last year, James played against him in 3 games, and his shooting percentage against James was only 34.

%; and this season he transferred from the Hornets to the Rockets, and he specifically chose to play the Cavaliers' game, and in that game, Wesley even defended James 0-for-5.

"I went to the temple in the morning and figured it out. The Chinese players will win today!"

Wesley, who was so rubbed that he lost his vision, heard the sound of two heavyweight centers landing and temporarily stopped his strength to lean forward to find the direction of the ball. Mo Wen, who had just received the basketball, felt the emptiness behind him and seized the opportunity, turning around deftly.

He passed Wesley and ran towards the inside.

What he didn't know was that in order to catch up with the game that started at 9 o'clock, many young people did adopt a speed-running New Year greeting. That is, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so on other days, it is inevitable to eat a meal of fried pork with a belt.

"There is no distinction between style and style. Mo Wen's singing level is also very high. You may not know that this song has been at the top of the music charts in the United States for several weeks. This is also the achievement achieved by Asians in the European and American music circles so far.

The best result." Zhang Weiping sighed.

If this game was held in Miami... he would be willing to spend more money!

"Start, start, hurry up. Last night's Spring Festival Gala was boring. I stayed up late just waiting to watch today's game."

Sun Zhengping: "Ah, yes, yes, yes"

"The current centers in the league are Yao and O'Neal. Duncan is very good but not a center. This year's center is named Howard. He can run very fast and jump very high, but it is useless. He has no tonnage, no strength, and his skills are rough.

If it doesn't work, you still have to practice... What is McGrady looking at with the ball? Don't waste time. See if there is a chance to pass to Yao. If you don't have a chance, you can hit it yourself... He took the shot and dunked from outside the three-point line. McGrady's shot was considered a success.

I don't know what to say in return."

Sun Zhengping: "Ah...ah? A dunk from beyond the three-point line?"

I'm exhausted, my mind is in a mess. After drinking, I was stuck from 6 o'clock to 5 o'clock, writing from drowsy to drowsy. There are many things I want to write, but after I finish writing, I feel like a thick mess... I deleted it again and went to bed first.

I’ll write again when I get up tomorrow.
