The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 152 The opening game against Lukai, Yao Ming starts

Tang Shuai is fully qualified to be called Yao Ming's mentor.

He was of great help to Yao Ming at the beginning of his career. It can even be said that without Tang Shuai at that time, Yao Ming would not be able to achieve such achievements now.

When he first arrived in the NBA, Yao Ming wasn't even ashamed to dunk on someone's head.

Tang Shuai discovered this problem and asked Yao Ming why.

The reason Yao Ming gave was that it is impolite to dunk on someone's head.

As a result, in order to get rid of Yao Ming's bad habit, Tang Shuai punished all the Rockets players to run laps on the court. When Yao Ming dunked, he ended the punishment.

After doing this, Yao Ming certainly couldn't bear his teammates being punished because of him, so he obediently started dunking.

Look at the way people train newcomers, it's not 180 times stronger than Larry Brown.

In addition, under Tang Shuai's coaching, Yao Ming was in excellent health at the time.

Almost all three seasons are full attendance.

The reason for this is that Tang Shuai strictly controls Yao Ming's playing time.

Later, when the Rockets changed coaches in 05 and replaced them with Jeff Van Gundy, also known as Van Gundy Jr., Yao Ming's nightmare came.

The average playing time has risen directly from Tang Shuai's 30.6 minutes to 34.2 minutes.

Later, it even rose to 37.2 minutes.

This is simply torture for a super heavyweight center.

Not to mention Yao Ming, even if Li Xun averaged such a long time per game in a season, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

Looking at it this way, it is really not too much for Yao Ming to call Tang Shuai a mentor.

In addition, Tang Shuai can also be said to be the coach who knows how to use Yao Ming best. Maybe this is the reason why Dumars invited him here.

Li Xun was overjoyed, the team's trend this season was better than he imagined.

Not only are the players recruited strong, but even the new coach they hired is extremely suitable.

He is now looking forward to the opening game three days later.

This year's Pistons opener against the Boston Celtics.

This can be regarded as the league's official recognition of the Pistons.

Generally speaking, the opening game of the new season is played by the strongest teams in each division.

After all, it is the first game of the new season, and the league hopes to bring fans into that confrontational mood from the very beginning.

In the West, the Lakers are playing against the Nuggets. They are opponents in the Western Conference Finals.

Logically speaking, the East should be the Magic against the Pistons.

It's a pity that the Magic don't have that rich background. Now that Garnett is back, the league is definitely more inclined to let Green Kai play the opener.

This group of matchups in the East has even more attention than the Lakers in the West.

The main reason is that Li Xun and Lu Kai did not get along with each other, and there were many conflicts before.

Especially with Rondo, the three of them were spitting on the court at that time, and they vomited happily.

Now that Rondo's big brother Garnett is back, he probably wants to help Rondo get back.

Li Xunyi was not afraid.

Are you kidding me, now that I have a strong army under my command, will I be afraid of those old men?
The only thing is to be careful with Garnett, this guy is good at sneak attacks.

……

In the afternoon, Li Xun met Dumas.

They made an appointment to pick up Yao Ming at the airport.

"Li, you said what should we do if Yao Ming can't recover?"

While waiting at the airport, Dumas was full of worry.

This is what he is most afraid of now.

Li Xun waved his hand, "Mr. Dumas, don't think too much about it."

"If everything goes well, maybe Yao Ming will be able to catch up with the opening game."

Dumas couldn't laugh or cry when he said this, because he had already seen a woman pushing Yao Ming out in a wheelchair.

this one?Still in time for the opener?
Li Xun looked closely, and the woman pushing the wheelchair should be Ye Li.

The two got married just two years ago.

Li Xun was very envious, this is the real couple of gods and gods, loving each other.

"Brother Yao, sister-in-law!"

Stepping forward quickly, Li Xun took the wheelchair.

At the same time, Li Xun quickly gave Yao Ming the precious Golden Spear Budao Pill.

I don't know how long it will take for this medicine to take effect.

"Brother Yao, can't you walk around now?"

Li Xun asked tentatively.

"If I can walk, I can walk, but it hurts."

"I said you kid, you should have discussed it with me in advance."

"Can you kill someone by making a phone call? It's all right now, the contract has been signed, and it's too late to say anything."

Yao Ming was still a little angry.

His home and business were in Houston, and he certainly didn't want to come to Detroit.

And the point is that after coming here, I can't be of much use, I can only get my salary for nothing, and hinder Li Xun from winning the championship.

"hey-hey."

"Brother Yao, do your legs still hurt?"

Li Xun scratched his head and started laughing. He really did not behave properly in this matter. He should have communicated with Yao Ming in advance.

"Don't tell me, since I met you, I don't feel any pain."

"real."

"It doesn't hurt at all."

"No, I'll get up and walk around."

Yao Ming was full of joy, and got off the special large wheelchair.

"Hey, this is weird."

"Obviously there was still a little pain before getting off the plane, but I didn't feel any more."

"Am I recovering?"

Yao Ming looked dazed, unable to understand the miracle that happened to him.

"Why don't you go to the hospital first? See how the bones are recovering?"

Li Xun already had full confidence in his heart that his magical medicine really worked.

But I still have to take a film to see if it has recovered.

Dumas was completely speechless, because Li Xun and Yao Ming had been communicating in Chinese.

When he saw Yao Ming standing up, he didn't think much about it.

It has been several months since Yao Ming was injured, and it is normal to be able to stand up and walk.

A group of people arrived at the hospital in Pomante.

"Ok?"

"Yao, you're not injured, are you?"

Dean Pomant looked at Yao Ming's CT film with doubts on his face.

Although he is not an orthopedic doctor, at least a simple film can still tell the clues.

Not a single bone injury!
For a moment, Pomante wondered if Yao Ming teamed up with the Pistons to deliberately cheat the Rockets.

But thinking about it, this possibility is unlikely. After all, the team doctors are from the Rockets, so how could they help outsiders cheat themselves.

After several professional orthopedic surgeons came, the unanimous diagnosis was that there was no bone injury.

Yao Ming was overjoyed. So, can his career continue?
Then joining the Pistons doesn't seem to be a bad thing, at least I have hope to win the championship next.

"Brother Yao, get ready."

"The two of us will start together in the opening match, won't this blow up everything?"

Li Xunle's straight slap on the thigh, his series of plans finally succeeded.

Yao Ming really became his teammate.

Dumas was happier than Li Xun. He still didn't understand Yao Ming's situation.

At that time, it was obviously fractured and fractured, but this time, after a few months, he recovered completely.

This is simply a miracle of God!

Well now, with this pair of Celestial Twin Towers, plus the players he brought in during the offseason.

The Pistons have a lot going for them this season!
In the afternoon, the Pistons announced the good news on their official website.

Yao Ming will start the opening game.

After learning the news, domestic fans were completely overjoyed.

They looked forward to the stars and the moon, and they finally looked forward to the day when Li Xun and Yao Ming joined forces to play in the NBA.

The two played together twice, but they were both opponents. Even in the All-Star game, the two were on two teams.

Not only the Chinese fans, but also the fans in Detroit are looking forward to it.

The Pistons failed to win the championship last season because of the insider losses.

Now that Yao Ming is added, the champion is none other than the Pistons.
