The yellow storm in the NBA

"Brother Yao, are you interested in taking a day off tomorrow to watch a game together? It's an NCAA basketball game." Quan Xiao asked Yao Ming after attending the post-game press conference after the Lakers game.

"Game? What game is so important that you deserve to take time off to watch it?" Yao Ming was a little confused.

"It's a game at my alma mater. The season officially starts tomorrow. The most important thing is my cousin's debut. He also plays the center position, so I want to ask Brother Yao to watch and give him some advice."

"Oh, really? That's okay, I'll go to the game with you tomorrow, just take a short vacation." Yao Ming knew that Quan Xiao was a student at the University of Texas, and it happened to be not too far away, so he went

Let's see!

The invitation to Yao Ming Quan Xiao was premeditated. Quan Xiao was still aware of Quan Lei's strength. After all, although he didn't watch it personally, his sister often went to get to know him. He also often called his original coach and teammates to learn about Quan Lei's situation.

, and the feedback received all praised Quan Lei for his extraordinary talent and rapid progress.

Regarding the future of their two cousins, the strategy they discussed was that Quan Lei would only play in college for one year, and then declare for the draft regardless of his grades. After graduating from high school, Quan Jun also went to college to practice for one year and then participate in the draft.

It can be said that Quan Lei is currently not as strong as Quan Lei in China except for Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi. The only one who can stabilize him is Yao Ming, and in terms of defensive ability alone, Yao Ming is not as strong as him.

This is not bragging, because Quan Lei has a strong talent, that is, he has a very strong sense of rebounding, and his prediction of the landing point of rebounds is very accurate, and his physical fitness is amazing, and his athletic ability far exceeds that of Yao Ming, which makes him

Whether it is single defense or assisted defense, it cannot be underestimated.

What he currently lacks is experience. This problem will naturally improve as he participates in more competitions, just like Quan Xiao before.

Quan Xiao still has some thoughts about the Beijing Olympics, which will be held at home next year. He is convinced that his ability is absolutely qualified and he should be selected for the national team as expected.

But he also wanted to allow his two cousins ​​to enter the national team. After all, compared with the domestic group, the two brothers, who are extremely talented and have been practicing in the United States for a year, will definitely not lose to them.

But at that time, the two brothers had not had the opportunity to play in the professional league. They didn't know if they could attract the attention of those with the right to select players, so Quan Xiao planned to start with Yao Ming and let him test Quan Lei's strength first. If Quan Lei

If you can impress Yao Ming with your strength, you may have an entry point into joining the national team.

After making an appointment for the time and place to meet tomorrow, the two drove home separately. After arriving home, they called the head coach and relevant leaders to ask for leave. It went smoothly and was approved without any obstacles.

Then he sent a text message to Quan Lei, telling him that he would go to see his debut show tomorrow and telling him to play hard and hard.

The two met up the next day and drove to the University of Texas. On the way, Quan Xiao introduced the two brothers in detail. During his introduction, Yao Ming showed great interest and asked a few questions from time to time, while Quan Xiao

Ying would also add a few words. She knew the situation in more detail than Quan Xiao.

After arriving at the University of Texas, Quan Xiao arrived at the basketball hall with ease. Along the way, classmates would come over from time to time to ask for autographs and photos, and there were more of them around Yao Ming, which shows how popular Yao Ming is in Texas.

Quan Xiao successfully brought Yao Ming to the Longhorns locker room. At this time, the coaching staff had already arranged the starting lineup and tactics. Everyone was adjusting their status in their own way and preparing for the game.

"Hey, are you preparing to go to the battlefield?" A teasing voice suddenly sounded, and then everyone saw Quan Xiao and Yao Ming pushing in the door.

"Hello, Coach Rick, hello Coach Smith, hello Coach Jones!" Quan Xiao greeted the coaches immediately, then began to greet his former teammates, and finally the new players.

Everyone was very happy to see Quan Xiao's arrival, and Yao Ming's arrival turned the scene into a star-chasing scene. After satisfying everyone's request for autographs and photos, Quan Xiao called Quan Lei over and introduced Yao Ming to him.

After a few simple words, Quan Xiao and Yao Ming left the locker room, then found the reserved seats and waited for the game to start.

Not long after, the game started, with Quan Lei replacing Pittman as the starting center.

Starting from the jump ball, Quan Lei showed his talent everywhere. Although he did not have many methods on the offensive end, he still made a lot of achievements. On the defensive end, he dominated the penalty area. After the first half of the game, he did not let his opponent get anything in his penalty area.

After a few points, he grabbed 11 rebounds and made 5 blocks, helping the team lead by more than 20 points at halftime.

"Yes, as you said, your cousin is very talented, much better than me, and his future achievements are limitless! Although the experience is a little less, it is not a big problem. After this season, you can improve by one level.

Big cut."

"Brother Yao, you are so humble. My cousin has some talents, but he is not as exaggerated as you said, right?"

"No, I'm not exaggerating, I'm serious! I'm relieved now. From now on, the Chinese team's penalty area will depend on him and Arab League. Even if I retire now, I don't have to worry about having no successor."

"No way, Brother Yao will need to fight for at least five more years. They are still a little young, so it may be a bit difficult to take the lead alone."

"Hehe, don't we still have you here? It's enough for me to maintain my current state for three years. After three years, this kid will definitely be able to stand alone. Then I can retire and take a rest."

"Well, does Brother Yao have any plans for next year's Olympics?"

"I definitely hope to break through the best results in the past. If I can have a chance to win a medal, it will be worth it even if I break my legs. After all, participating in such a grand event at my doorstep is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I don't think it's difficult to break through to eighth place. After all, we have you as the number one center. Brother Da Da and Arab League are also very capable. I have me at the back, and your teammates Liu Weiwei, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng from the Shanghai team are also good players.

In this year, our chances are still very good.”

"I also think so. It can be said that next year is our best opportunity. With your cousin then, we will not be afraid of any team on the inside. We may need you to play more on the outside. Our outside is similar to the United States, Spain and Argentina.

There is still a big gap compared to other basketball powers."

"It's okay. I believe we can solve this problem. If it doesn't work, I can play point guard. We won't fall behind even if we play against the United States on the inside."

The two of them just watched the game and chatted about the future of the national team. In the second half, Quan Lei's performance was still strong, preventing the opponent from easily entering the penalty area and betting on three points outside, but it was of no use.

, Texas, which has Quan Lei, couldn't rebound the ball at all.

Without the protection of rebounds, three-pointers are not so wanton, and the success rate is very impressive. When there were 10 minutes left in the game, the Longhorns were already leading by more than 30 points, and Coach Barnes made a big move when he saw this.

He changed the starting lineup and let his team's substitutes rotate in and train.

Quan Lei played 24 minutes in this game. He didn't score much, only 14 points, but he rebounded like crazy, with 24 rebounds. He also had 7 blocks, which was the key to the Longhorns' victory over their opponents.

This debut was undoubtedly a success for Quan Lei, who was still in the first grade. Quan Xiao was also very satisfied with it. After a few more words of advice, he drove back with Yao Ming, while his sister stayed to deal with some matters.

The NCAA season belonging to Quan Lei has begun!
