I’m Really Playing Basketball

October 30, 2002, Miami, American Airlines Arena.

On the sidelines, the American Airlines Arena, which has always been dissatisfied with seats, is already full of people.

On the court, two people, one fat and one thin, seemed to be putting on a talk show.

"Kenny, I'm not disrespectful to Yao Ming. In fact, you know that since Yao Ming announced his participation in the 2002 draft, I have no respect for him. I think he is a very tall player. That's all. It's just that he's not worthy of the No. 1 pick in the NBA, he's overrated, and he's overrated, and he's been raised to match his height."

"Kenny, can you imagine that a player with a 2.26-meter wingspan is actually 1 centimeter shorter than the 2-meter Wonder Boy?"

"Kenny, as a teammate of a great NBA center, you should know the importance of wingspan to a center player. Olajuwon is 2.13 meters, and his wingspan is as tall as Yao Ming. Not only that, but he is not tall enough. The body is not strong enough. I think Sean Bradley of the Dallas Mavericks is better than Yao Ming. Bradley is taller than Yao Ming, has a longer wingspan than Yao Ming, jumps higher than Yao Ming, and has a stronger body than Yao Ming. Yao Ming is better than Yao Ming. Radley's only strength is his so-called skill, but Kenny, you should know, the least important thing for a rookie player is skill."

"Charles, I think your judgment is too arbitrary."

"No, Kenny, please don't interrupt me. He is also a rookie this year. The reason why Wonder Boy can make his NBA debut is so amazing, not because of his excellent skills, but because of his 2-meter height and 2-meter wingspan. He is 21 meters tall, and he also has an average explosive power at the guard position, which makes Pierce, who is much stronger than him, very frustrated. Yao Ming and Wonder Boy are just the opposite. The success of Wonder Boy means that Yao Ming is doomed to fail in the future! "

"Charles, I don't agree with you. Fantastic Boy is a Fantastic Boy. Fantastic Boy's static talent is indeed outstanding, but he is not a player without skills. Fantastic Boy's mid-range shooting and three-point stability are better than most mid-range shots in the NBA. All players are strong, and Yao Ming, his skills are also better than most technical centers in the NBA. Yes, skills are not that important to rookies, but most rookies can't practice Yao Ming's current skills. In the future, he It's going to be better, Charles, that's not what I said, that's what Kareem said."

"Of course I know that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said it. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is great, but he paid a lot of money from Pat Riley and the Heat to teach Yao Ming. He said that any praise from Yao Ming is like my wife thinks I am Like the most handsome man in the world, hahahaha."

"Charles, you have a thick skin. I never ask my wife who is the most handsome person in the world."

"It's not thick-skinned, it's self-confidence. Both my wife and I think I'm more handsome than Jordan!" [Note 1]

"If this is the case, I will question your judgment of Yao Ming. I think your judgment of Yao Ming is as wrong as your judgment of your own appearance."

"No, no, no, I'm not wrong about my own appearance, and my judgment about Yao Ming is also not wrong. Kenny, we can make a bet."

"What bet?"

"I said earlier that Yao Ming is not good. If he can score 15 points in this game, Kenny, I will kiss your ass and express my admiration for you."

"Fun game, I can agree, but Charles, you need to tell me why it's fifteen."

"It's very simple. Yesterday the magical boy scored 30 points. I only ask Yao Ming to get half of the points."

"Charles, you should know that for a rookie, it's not easy to score 15 points in the first game."

"Of course I know this. If the Magic's starting center is a veteran with NBA experience, my requirement will not exceed 10 points. If Yao Ming's opponent is Duncan, my requirement will not exceed 5 points, but his opponent is Pat Burke, like Yao Ming, is a rookie, and he still can't make it to the first round and the second round pick, not to mention, last night, Fantastic Boy's opponent was Paul Pierce, the outside version of Barkley Jr.!"

"Charles, you are too bad. Pat Burke is not an ordinary rookie. He is 29 years old. He scored 12 points in 5 of 6 in 18 minutes in his debut yesterday."

"Why, Kenny is scared?"

"No, I agree, I believe in Yao Ming's strength."

Before the game between the Magic and the Heat started, Chen Xiao and Ba Ge were stunned when they saw it.

In fact, Chen Xiao watched the NBA for more than a year, and it was the first time he saw the tension between Barkley and Kenny Smith.

And not because of McGrady, but because of Yao Ming!

"Mr. Chen, Barkley's performance on the scene is very exaggerated. He planned it for a long time and did it on purpose!"

After Ba Ge finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded.

Not only was it intentional, but he also deliberately took the microphone and ran to Yao Ming, who was warming up and shooting, to bet with Kenny Smith.

Chen Ling dared to bet that Yao Ming must have heard everything Barkley and Kenny Smith said.

Not only did Yao Ming hear it, but the angry Chinese reporters beside him and Mr. Song, who was also interviewing and filming Yao Ming, must have also heard the CCTV commentary.

"Dayao was booed crazily during the draft. The Americans thought he was not worthy of the No. 1 pick, and they all waited to see him make a fool of himself and deliberately put pressure on him. That Kenny Smith is not a good person either!"

Of course Chen Xiao knew about it, he just participated in the 2002 draft, and he was still there.

At that time, it was really booed.

In fact, Chen Ling was also booed, but after his reasoning, the booing disappeared.

It's not that those Americans were really reasonable. At that time, he also felt that those people were really reasonable with him, and Wade told him later.

"Chen, what is your identity? You are the NCAA champion, you are the MOP of the NCAA, you have the top background in American basketball, let alone the No. 7 pick, even if you are selected by the No. 1 pick, they will be dissatisfied. They also accept it in their hearts, they will listen to your reasoning, and they will not boo you in the end, not because they listened to your reasoning, but because they saw an NCAA championship and the MOP was angry."

"In the American basketball world, the NCAA championship is higher than the NBA championship, not to mention the Olympic champion and the world championship champion. Yao Ming, what background does he have? CBA champion, MVP? Americans don't care at all. "

The translation of Wade's words means: Chen Xiao, you are born as a prince, even if you are a fool with 0 ability, if you go to become a minister, the most people will gossip about you, if you express anger, they will gossip. Be honest, no matter how dishonest, the emperor will be angry.

But Yao Ming is different, no matter how strong Yao Ming is, he comes from a grassroots beggar, even if he is a CBA champion and MVP, he is just a fighter among beggars. Others will spray you to death.

The truth, it really is the truth, this world is so real.

The NCAA championship and the background of the MOP have prevented Chen Xiao from many disasters and challenges.

Since he was drafted, no cat or dog has ever dared to challenge him.

Barkley had to be polite to him.

Fegan's NCAA star players are willing to call him brothers when they see him.

It's not that he has the aura of the protagonist, but the NCAA champion and MOP have their own guardian aura.

These two honors are the dream of all players in the United States.

To tarnish these two honors is to tarnish one's own dreams.

Chen Xiao does not represent these two honors, he just owns these two honors.

These two honors are the emperors of the American basketball world, and the person who has these two honors is the prince.

Let alone whether the prince is doing well in the future, his status is the top aristocrat.

With these two honors, as long as he can stay in the NBA with his strength, he will be a respected team'leader' no matter which team he goes to.

The kind with its own majesty.

At that time, Chen Xiao, who shocked the audience in the talent show, was quite proud, thinking that her 'kingly aura' and 'protagonist aura' had finally come out.

I wonder if I am the protagonist of a certain novel, the kind whose mast and scull disappear in ashes with a wave of hand.

In the end, after Wade explained to him, he realized that he was really thinking too much. He was not the protagonist of any novel, and others were not shocked by him and his reasoning. He shocked the audience mainly by "there was someone behind him".

Because of 'there is someone behind', the media dare not look down on him too much. NBA stars and celebrities also dare not slap him in the face too disrespectfully. Pierce gritted his teeth enough for him, right? When threatening him during the World Championships, they were very careful to use soft words like 'entertainment'.

Yao Ming got a high position because there was no one behind him. Pierce and the others were upset, so they bet $400 to buckle Yao Ming.

Now, Barkley is going to slap Yao Ming in the face again.

It is conceivable that in the future, Yao Ming will be slapped and counter-slapped frequently.

Don't think that these plots are the same as the protagonist of the novel. Yao Ming is enjoying the status of the protagonist of Shuangwen's novel.

In fact, apart from the Harem Shuangwen, the protagonist of the slapping Shuangwen is very miserable. Who the fuck is fine, walks on the road, and is willing to be slapped twice by someone suddenly?

Even if he pulled it back, he would still be beaten.

Isn't Yao Ming like this, warming up well and doing nothing, Barkley and Kenny Smith just slapped him when he came up.

Yao Ming, who was already nervous on the TV, was dizzy. I didn't mess with them, did I?

Yao Ming, who couldn't understand these things, might immediately wonder if he had offended them.

Of course, being slapped by Barkley and Kenny Smith is not all 'bad', at least Yao Ming's visible nervousness was slapped by Barkley.

Seeing Yao Ming like this, Chen Xiao, who was a little worried at first, was not worried anymore.

There must be no problem with Yao Ming's strength. If he hadn't met him, he would have been the No. 1 pick. He trained Yao Ming for another month in the World Championships. Yao Ming's ball-handling skills and single-defense skills have become stronger.

In addition, Yao Ming did not play in the Asian Games, and he has adapted to the NBA in advance in the United States since September. Although the Heat did not allow him to play much in the preseason to protect Yao Ming, but based on Chen Xiao's understanding of Yao Ming, Yao Ming now has a good understanding of Yao Ming. The NBA has adapted very well.

If Yao Ming played in the Asian Games, Yao Ming estimated that he would not be able to adapt to the NBA until mid-November, but if he did not play in the Asian Games, Yao Ming can advance this time by at least half a month, and that is now.

When Chen Xiao and Battelle were worried about Yao Ming, Wade, who was warming up with Yao Ming, had already walked to the side of Barkley and Kenny Smith with a smile.

Really smile.

At least, that's how others see it.

But Chen Xiao, who knew Wade very well, knew that Wade is very angry now!

Because, Chen Ling saw that Wade's mouth was smiling, but his big cheeks were cold!

Everyone knows that Marquette Xiaotai's big cheeks are his real body!

"Charles, Kenny, I am also very interested in participating in your bet. I wonder if you can bring me one?"

Seeing that it was Wade who grabbed his microphone, Barkley was very happy.

They played this show originally to gain attention and ratings, and now Wade is willing to join this bet, which couldn't be better.

"Okay, Dwyane, how do you want to bet?"

"Charles said the bet remains the same. If Yao can get more than 15 points, Charles will kiss Kenny's ass on the spot. If Yao can't get 15 points, I will lick your Dior."

The CCTV interview team, who were angry after seeing Wade and Barkley chatting and betting, were dumbfounded when they heard Wade say that.

Even Yao Ming, Barkley and Kenny Smith were dumbfounded.

Especially Barkley and Kenny Smith, isn't this bet a bit big?

This kid is a ruthless man!

At this time, Wade had already finished talking loudly about his and Barkley's bets to nearly 20,000 Heat fans at the scene with a microphone, and the whole scene was in an uproar.

"Charles and I, Kenny's bet, please be a witness, thank you, if anyone cheats, don't let us leave standing."

Wade finished speaking with a smile, and passed the topic to the stunned Barkley and Kenny Smith.

The two who were originally trying to attract attention suddenly felt that there was a problem!

It's good for Wade to join, it brings more attention, but, damn, what if we lose, what if he doesn't agree to replace my ass with a donkey's ass? !

"Dwyane..."

"Charles, Kenny, you should end now, our game is about to start, and the betting is about to start."

After Wade finished speaking with a smile, he invited Barkley and Kenny Smith down.

When the two turned their backs, Wade, who was still smiling just now, had all the smiles on his face gone, and the expression on Wade's face became as cold as his big cheeks.

"Bully my brother, none of you can escape!"

After Wade's words came out of his teeth, Yao Ming, Mr. Song next to Wade, and the CCTV reporter were once again dumbfounded.

At this time, they didn't know how shocked the Chinese audience who were watching the live broadcast were when they heard Wade's words.

Yao Ming at the scene was actually even more shocked.

After the shock, Yao Ming, who has always been gentle, clenched his fists tightly.

The look in his eyes caused the magic center Pat Burke, who was watching the excitement on the other side, to feel a chill down his spine.

The perspectives of Chen Xiao and Battelle followed that of Barkley and Kenny Smith. Of course they didn't know the situation of Wade and Yao Ming.

"Little Tai..."

"Dayao..."

With Wade joining, Chen Xiao and Battelle were worried again.

That's Dior, really Dior!

However, such worries did not last long. After the start of the game between the Magic and the Heat, Yao Ming quickly scored 15 points easily.

When Yao Ming made all the first 6 shots and scored 15 points in the first half, Chen Xiao even heard the voices of Barkley and Kenny Smith trembling.

The Magic's 29-year-old 2.11-meter white center Pat Burke couldn't stop Yao Ming who was very angry at this time. The Magic's power forward Cobra Grant was strong in defense, but he was 38 years old!

The insiders of the Magic are still pointing at him to assist in the defense!

In this game, Wade went to the basket like crazy, pressing the Magic's defense and the Cobra to the basket.

Yao Ming pulled out to create space for Wade to break through.

Wade's crazy breakthrough can create outside shots for Yao Ming.

The 38-year-old Cobra was suddenly embarrassed by Wade.

The 2.11-meter white and thin center Burke was shot into a sieve by Yao Ming.

Wade's terrifying breakthrough ability in this game stunned everyone who paid attention to this game.

"Xiaotai is stronger!"

"It's okay to be stronger, but the speed and explosive power haven't dropped!"

Chen Xiao in front of the TV was stunned by Wade's current strength.

Wade is already very strong in the NCAA, but obviously, in the NBA without the three-second rule of defense, Wade will be even stronger!

The knee is completely uninjured, the body is in perfect condition, and Yao Ming, a super technical center, is restrained, and the Magic has no outstanding inside defense players. This game is simply a "teaching mode" tailored for Wade. Simple!

Therefore, instead of saying that Yao Ming's 6-for-6 in front of Yao Ming is because Yao Ming is strong, it is better to say that Wade is strong. This lethality is too strong.

The Magic's three perimeter players, Ron Howard, McGrady, and Grant Hill's defense are all online.

From Ron Howard to Grant Hill, Wade's madness did not decrease until Rivers replaced McGrady next to Wade in the second half.

"This kid's explosive power is terrifying!"

"This guy is indeed a player handpicked by me, Joe!"

On the court, Wade and McGrady were shocked by each other as soon as they played against each other.

It doesn't matter if one is so strong, explosive and fast, and the technique is so good!

A player who is so tall, with such long hands, Nima's speed and explosive power, and strong confrontation. Is there a player with such perfect physical talent in this world? !

The game between the Magic and the Heat ended, and the stronger Magic defeated the Heat 102 to 96 under the leadership of Tracy McGrady.

At the end of the game, McGrady, who scored 34 points in the game, walked up to Wade, looked at Wade very seriously and said, "You will become one of the strongest players in the NBA."

No kidding, Wade shocked him in this game.

"The future? I am now one of the strongest players in the NBA!"

Full of pressure.

If Chen Ling was here, he would definitely say, it really is you, that big cheek that loves to fly and is proud!

"It's still a little bit worse."

Regarding Wade's pretentiousness, McGrady smiled indifferently.

If you can continue to increase body weight and strength, and the speed and explosiveness still do not decrease, and the technique and shooting are still unaffected, then it is almost the same.

Of course, McGrady didn't say this, because this confident kid must know it himself.

"What a promising team."

McGrady looked away from Wade and Yao Ming.

"The future is yours, but now it's mine!"

"This game, I can finally make headlines!"

His strength has reached its peak, McGrady, who beat Iverson and Wade in a row, is extremely eager to get the attention that matches his strength.

But soon, the smiling Maddie couldn't laugh anymore.

Wade, who was still acting aggressive in front of him just now, has already borrowed a camera from the baseline with a smile, and brought it to Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"Charles, Kenny, let's go."

Amidst the frenzied boos of the 20,000 Heat audience, when Kenny Smith untied his belt in pain and bent down, when Barkley's super thick skin also blushed, he knelt down on one knee behind Kenny Smith.

Click, click, click, click...

The reporters in the entire American Airlines Arena went crazy.

No, the entire basketball world is going crazy at this moment!

CCTV, which has always been 'pure', didn't cut the screen at this time.

In fact, there was nothing to pinch, so I showed my buttocks.

However, the moment when Barkley's "shy" and Kenny Smith completed intimate contact.

The whole of China is boiling!

"It's so cool!"

"Yao Ming's debut is as cool as Chen Xiao's debut, just as explosive, super explosive!"

No matter what, this fat man can do what he says, and he is really a decent person.

Chen Xiao smiled and thought, Xiaotai must be very happy after this game, right?

"It's great to be teammates with Dayao."

However, Dayao must have been very happy after this match.

Because, the feeling of being teammates with Xiaotai is also so good.

In fact, what Chen Xiao thought was right.

At this time, on the court, Yao Ming looked at Wade, and Wade looked at Yao Ming. After a game, the two felt that the distance between them had changed from long to short to zero in an instant, and finally became a negative number.

You are in my heart right now...

The two people who looked at each other looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Not far away, Pat Riley looked at the two babies with even more resentment.

Maddie is also very resentful.

"My headline, when will it be posted!"

Outside the TV, Popovich and Phil Jackson looked at the TV with serious eyes.

Yao Ming: 9 of 9, 6 of 6 free throws, 24 points and 9 rebounds. (This is the data of Yao Ming playing against the Lakers on November 17 after adapting to the NBA in history, which is ahead of schedule.)

Wade: 10 of 18, 7 of 10 free throws, 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

The first show of these two people did not have Boy Wonder exploded individually, but together they were quite terrifying.

"This Heat is super dangerous!"

At the same time, in different spaces, the two had the same idea.

[Note 1]: Fatty Ba’s wife is very beautiful, and the relationship between the two is very stable. For thirty years, it’s not true love. I don’t believe it. Maybe in the eyes of Fatty Ba’s wife, Fatty Ba is the most handsome in the world man.
