One Guard

Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport is the second largest airport in Texas, after Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. There are more than 700 flights carried out here every day, most of which are ordinary civil aviation. Of course, there are also special flights for visiting NBA teams.

Cuban's private plane had just landed. Through the small oval window of the plane, Yiyang saw that the billboards on the highway were already covered with various advertisements for Howard and Harden.

"Modern" combination, this is the new hope that the Houston Rockets have found since Yao Ming retired. The combination of these two people heralds the complete end of the Rockets' reconstruction period. All Houstonians have high hopes for this combination, hoping that they can do what Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming have not been able to do. Breaking through the first round? No, what Houstonians want is the O'Brien Trophy!

"Look, these two guys are really big stars in Houston. They just defeated the Bobcats in the last game, but the Houston people are so swollen that they seem to have already booked the championship." Carter, who was sitting in the front row of Yiyang, saw I couldn’t help but complain about these billboards.

"Hey Rudy, how are you preparing?" Yiyang turned his head and looked at Gobert beside him.

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it's against Dwight Howard."

"Oh, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I am always ready to take down World of Warcraft!"

Hearing Gobert's answer, Yiyang gave a rare smile. Although the Frenchman is not yet at the same level as Howard, he is always full of confidence and eager to win. As long as you have this mentality, it is enough.

Hope you had a great time fighting in the paint today, Dwight!

Yiyang compared his hand to a pistol, pointed it at Howard on the billboard, and pulled the "trigger". You will pay for your words, Mr. Incredible!

Yao Ming shuttled through the busy tunnel, and everything around him felt extremely friendly. The only difference is that now, he appears here in a suit. In the past, he always wandered around here wearing a Rockets jersey.

"Hey, I'm glad you can come, Yao. How about it? Do you want to go to the locker room and meet the players?" Rockets general manager Morey had been waiting in the tunnel for a long time when he saw Yao Ming, the general manager who is familiar to Chinese fans. The manager warmly greeted Yao Ming and gave him a big hug.

"Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to go to the locker room like this." Yao Ming waved his hand. For some reason, the time spent eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft suddenly flashed through his mind. "Let the players prepare for the game well. We must not take it lightly today."

Yao Ming received an invitation from the Rockets today and came to the Toyota Center to watch the game and support the team in this important Texas game. If the Rockets' opponent were another team, Yao Ming would definitely refuse. But today, it is indeed a rare opportunity to watch both his old club and Yiyang in one game. Therefore, Yao Ming took time out of his busy schedule to return to this place, the place he once fought for.

"There's nothing inappropriate, but I won't force you if you don't want to go. Hey, you can go and watch the players warm up before the game starts. If the boys know that a Rockets star is there, they will definitely play harder!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you, Daryl. Yi is very powerful now, even more powerful than I was back then! You have to make sure that everyone is ready." Yao Ming followed Morey and warned again.

At the national level, Yao Ming is a fan of Yiyang. But just in the NBA arena, Yao Ming definitely supports his old club more. He didn't want to see his old club lose, but he didn't want Yiyang to lose either. So the best ending is that Yiyang plays excellent personal data and the Rockets win the game.

"Don't worry, Yao, the players are well prepared. In addition, in my heart, there is no better basketball player in China than you." Morey smiled slightly, looking full of confidence in this game.

Maybe the easy victory against the Bobcats in the last game made Houstonians forget what real pressure is. The Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Bobcats are not the same thing...

※※※

Toyota Center in Houston is the birthplace of the NBA for a generation of Chinese fans. It was here that Yao Ming completely opened the door to China for the NBA. When Yiyang saw this stadium on the team bus, he could not help but think of Yao Ming when he played here.

Without the success of this Chinese giant, the world might still feel that basketball is a sport that does not belong to the Chinese. Yiyang feels very lucky, at least Yao Ming has created a better era for the younger generations like them. Chinese players are getting more and more attention, and they are getting more and more opportunities. But today, Yiyang will not give Yao Ming face just because he is here. Victory in the game and personal friendship have always been very separate.

Enter the arena, change clothes, and prepare before the game. The atmosphere of the battle is getting stronger and stronger, and the fans are shouting louder and louder. Yiyang was still the first in the locker room to change his jersey. He stood up, jumped up and down, and then patted Gobert on the shoulder.

"Come on Rudy, come up with me and warm up first!"

In the past, it was Kidd who took Yiyang to warm up. Now, it is Yiyang who is taking Gobert to warm up. Although people are different, this is also a kind of inheritance.

Yiyang stepped onto the court, and as he expected, there was a guy who came earlier than him. The two looked at each other, and then both couldn't help laughing.

Jeremy Lin, who finally settled in Houston this summer, walked towards Yiyang. Yiyang looked at his teammate from the summer league four years ago and opened his arms.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon this season, Yi!"

"I didn't expect to see you in Houston in the future. Unfortunately, we are all in the West now." Yiyang hugged Jeremy Lin. The interaction between the two Chinese guards caused a flash of light on the sidelines.

"Your lineup is really scary this season. Iguodala, Tony Allen, God, are you serious?" Jeremy Lin couldn't help but tease the Mavericks' lineup. In Chinese terms, the Mavericks are called Absolutely amazing.

"Can Tony Allen and Iguodala compare to your Harden and Howard? But seriously, you might as well be the scorer tonight. Harden's offensive efficiency is really... ....." Yiyang shook his head, he couldn't find words to describe the bearded man who once played for the Thunder. It seems that the score is very high, but the efficiency is often terrible.

"Hahahaha, actually James is a very good guy, don't take it lightly. Let's have a good fight tonight!"

After saying that, the two Chinese defenders parted ways. From the moment they turned around, they were no longer friends, but rivals. Yiyang treats any opponent equally, whether it is Howard or Jeremy Lin, if he dares to block his way, he will kill him!

Yiyang and Gobert came on the court to warm up for twenty or thirty minutes before Harden and Howard finally arrived belatedly.

Howard had a smile on his face, as if he had already won in advance. Harden had a lazy expression, as if he hadn't recovered from the nightlife in Houston. The Mavericks are weak, and this is still one of the "three major Texas delusions." Even players will have such an inherent impression.

Howard happily hugged Yao Ming on the sidelines and chatted casually. But when he saw Yiyang, Howard's face immediately darkened. This strong man No. 12 immediately threw himself into the warm-up. If you don't choose to assist me, it will be the worst decision you have ever made in your life!

Arrogantly, Howard dunked hard several times during the warm-up, which won him a lot of applause at home. But Howard pulled hard on the basket again and again, which did not scare Yiyang. Yiyang has seen many guys who are stronger and bigger than him, but no one has ever succeeded in killing him.

During the warm-up, the arena was already full of excitement. Howard is eager to prove himself in front of the Mavericks and make them regret their original decision. Howard is still living in his past achievements. A few years ago, he was the only player in the league who could replace James alone. He was still a superstar who could lead the team to the finals. But now, he has been rejected by a team! This gap naturally makes Howard feel uncomfortable! He wants to take revenge on all the teams that underestimated him and tell them that he can still do as well as he did back then.

And Yiyang is also eager to defeat Howard and make him regret his remarks the day before yesterday. The glory of the past always belongs to the past, and the battle always belongs to the present!

Both teams disliked each other, which made the game very intense from the first second.

During the scrimmage, Howard easily defeated Dalembert and got the ball for the Rockets. Houston fans immediately shouted loudly that in Texas, only one strong team is allowed, and that is the Houston Rockets!

The much-anticipated "Demon" advanced toward the Mavericks' half, and fans at the Toyota Center were eager to see the pair break down the Mavericks' supposedly impenetrable defense.

Today, Howard was unusually positive. He didn't set a screen for any teammates, but ran directly to the inside, leaned against Dalembert with his back to the basket, and raised his hand directly to ask for the ball!

Jeremy Lin is a very "obedient" teammate. Generally, he will not refuse the ball when the star players ask for it. Without hesitation, Jeremy Lin lobbed the ball directly into the penalty area, and the cheers in Toyota Center instantly doubled in volume.

Howard holds the ball, and there's nothing skillful about his play. He hit it hard twice and then suddenly turned around. Howard forced his way into the penalty area.

Although Howard's style of play is simple and rough, there are few centers in the league who can stop him. Dalembert was squeezed away by the strong Howard, who scored a layup to give the Rockets a good start.

After the goal, Howard proudly hammered his chest. When passing by Yiyang, Howard bumped into Yiyang intentionally or unintentionally.

Yiyang ignored Howard and just shook his head. This big guy, doesn’t he know that a basketball game lasts 48 minutes? This is just the first ball, nothing to show off.

"Howard can come and go freely in the three-second zone, and the Mavericks' iron-clad defense can't stop him. Just watch, James and Dwight will definitely bring the Mavericks back to their original shape!" The local media in Houston caught Howard's goal for a while. Damn it, they selectively ignored an issue. Rudy Gobert was still sitting on the sidelines.

The Rockets scored first, which really boosted their morale. The improvement in morale has allowed the Rockets to perform well defensively.

Howard was wandering around the three-second zone. As long as Yiyang dared to come in, he would reward that guy with a big risk. Jeremy Lin is fully focused, he is as serious as ever, it is not that easy to break through this guy's defense.

But Yiyang didn't need to break through at all, he had already seen the opportunity.

When all members of the Rockets were extremely focused, Harden, who was sleepwalking on the defensive end, completely failed to notice that Tony Allen was no longer in the same place as him. Yiyang hit the ground and passed the ball. The basketball passed through the crowd diagonally and accurately bounced into the hands of Tony Allen!

When everyone reacted, Tony Allen had already cut into the penalty area and received the basketball. Howard blocked the ball hastily. Although he didn't allow Tony Allen to score, he got himself a foul right from the start!

After the referee blew the whistle, Howard smiled sarcastically and shook his head. In this way, he told the fans how unreasonable the penalty was. However, in fact, that was indeed a real foul. Howard, who took off hastily, could do nothing but knock people to the ground.

"Hey, give me the ball!" Tony Allen stood up and yelled angrily at Howard, who was holding the basketball.

Howard turned around and seemed to pass the ball lightly, but in fact he hit the basketball directly on Tony Allen's chest.

Howard has this bad temper now. He always feels that the whole world is against him. The monster that was once sunny has been buried in Los Angeles for a long time.

Tony Allen was about to argue with Howard, but Yiyang intervened in time.

"On the basketball court, you should use basketball to solve problems." Yiyang seemed to be talking to Tony Allen, but in fact, this sentence was meant for Howard.

"If you want to use methods other than basketball, feel free to come to me and try." Howard, not to be outdone, glared at Yiyang fiercely.

Yiyang ignored it, patted Tony Allen's butt, and motioned for him to get to the free throw line.

Tony Allen's free throws are not stable, but at least they are much better than ordinary shots. Two free throws were made. Although the basketball bumped, it fell into the net.

2 to 2, Yiyang's pass also left the Rockets at a loss. The score is rising, and the anger between Yiyang and Howard is also heating up.

Yiyang didn't pay attention to Howard's words, but if he kicked his nose in his face again, Yiyang would not be afraid of the bigger "Warcraft".

Even if you do have to solve the problem in a way other than basketball in the end, I guarantee Dwight, I will make it something you will never forget...
