Chapter 231 [You have to pay the price for disrespecting Jack]

Based on the addition of scoring champion Tracy McGrady, both Houston fans and some Chinese fans have begun to feel that the Rockets can be on an equal footing with the Pacers.

After all, McGrady said that he only came to Houston to do three things: championship, championship, and his championship!
Maddie, the scoring champion.

Although the Rockets have played 4 games since the start of this season and lost two, the winning rate is only 50%.But McGrady also emphasized that he has not yet entered a [-]% state.

Wait until he enters.

Rockets not allowed to take off?

It's all set on fire and it's time to cut it down.

Su Xi wants to eat unauthentic roast duck in Yao's restaurant. Yao's team likes to engage in these side businesses to make some money.But Su Xi had no need for this. He said to Yao Ming: "If we have money, we should invest, buy stocks, and invest in start-up companies. Look at me...how brilliant I am doing now!"

"But the league says you are very smart and spend a lot of money. Why don't you buy more houses and more precious metals when you spend money to buy air?" Yao Ming asked Su Xi.

"I bought a house in Los Angeles and also in New York. Didn't they reward me with a few houses in China? And I cut ribbons for real estate companies in China in the summer. The piles of real estate certificates in first-tier cities in China are more than one meter high. It's high." Su Xi looked at Yao Ming, and then he asked: "Who said that I am very smart in investing and throwing away money?"

"Isn't that what they all say? James and the others have spread your investment story all over the world. They say that you invest in the domestic Internet, that you give money to startups in Silicon Valley, and that you buy Apple stocks... Apple computers can hardly be sold. Yes." Yao Ming repeated what others had said.

This trend was spread by James and others.

Su Xi has made so much money, who wouldn't be jealous, especially since Su Xi received more than half a billion US dollars in bonuses and endorsements from Nike in one season. James was so jealous that he couldn't sleep all night long.

He was originally the Chosen One, and he is the largest contract holder in Nike history.

As a result, Su Xi earned most of his contract money in one year.Can he not go crazy with envy?
In order to comfort myself, I can only say that Su Xi doesn't know how to invest, so she throws away money and becomes a living Buddha in Silicon Valley.

LeBron Q. James.

Su Xi waved her hands and stopped talking about this topic.

Yao Ming began to care about Su Xi: "The leader of the Sports Bureau asked me last time, do you have a partner? He said that there are a few people in the women's basketball and women's volleyball teams who are not in love, and they will keep you a matchmaker. The organization is very concerned about your personal life. . Including fans across the country, I also hope that you can make new and greater contributions to the next generation of issues."

"What do you mean?" Su Xi came to the United States when she was 9 years old. When it comes to marriage, he has not yet integrated with domestic thinking.

"That is to say, everyone hopes that you will find a girl from the women's basketball or women's volleyball team to get married." Yao Ming said.

"Why? I don't know them, and they don't know me. Is it too early to get married?" Su Xi was like a confused baby.

Yao Ming laughed innocently and stopped talking.It is really unnecessary for contemporary young people to engage in this kind of arranged blind date. Only those who do not know how to fall in love will think about blind dates.Does Su Xi look like she doesn't know how to fall in love?His followers line up from Houston to the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Which woman in America doesn't want to be with Suzy the Sheep... So what?

According to the latest Playboy survey results, Susie is the man with whom women in the United States most want to spend an evening together, and is far ahead of No. 2.

The kind that is a hundred times more stable than Michael Jordan's historical goat status.

Then, there was talk of basketball.

Yao Ming asked Su Xi why his style has changed so much recently. Su Xi said frankly: "There is too much pressure, so I can only relax by playing more iron."

"Forging iron can also relieve stress?" Yao Ming was surprised.

"Well, you can try it tomorrow night too?" Su Xi encouraged.

"That's not necessary. I can hit the ball, which is fundamentally different from you." Yao Ming stabbed Su Xi gently.

Su Xi felt uncomfortable.Doesn’t it mean that Yao Ming is an honest person?

It really hurts to be honest.

"How is Tracy McGrady? Has he visited the dock here?" Su Xi asked Yao Ming.

"We are not fighting for the top position." Yao Ming replied.

Su Xi stretched and said: "You still have to fight when it's time to fight, not to win or lose, but to fight for respect. The United States is different from China. If you don't show your strong side, he will think you are You don't deserve to sit at the card table with him. He'll treat you like a waiter, you know? Any waiter who gives you a little tip."

Su Xi's tone was a bit lazy, but he was actually very serious.

Yao Ming was silent for a while. His mind went around and thought of many pictures.Then, he smiled and said, "You are deliberately trying to sow discord between us and want to win, right?"

Su Xi also smiled and looked into Yao Ming's eyes: "Yes."

Hahahaha.

This meal was quite enjoyable.

After Su Xi stayed in China for several months, his Chinese thinking gradually returned, and his speech was no longer so straightforward.

Of course, Yao Ming, who was educated in the same culture as him, certainly knew what Su Xi meant.

He thought a lot this night. Maybe Su Xi was right. Fighting or not is a gesture. If you don't fight, you won't have a chance to play at the card table. People will treat you as a helper or waiter.No matter how hard you work in the game, people will end up saying lightly: The team did not give me a standard helper, and I have never played with a star player.

Humility is a virtue, but not appropriate for professional sports.

...

The China Derby brought much attention to this game. Chinese fans in Texas gathered for this reason, and it was hard to get a ticket at the Houston Arena.

People still remember the first time Suhi came to Houston to play a derby game. At that time, Suhi didn't even play, or he was traded by the Cavaliers before he played.

The Cavaliers used such an impatient behavior to humiliate Su Xi and the fans who supported Su Xi.

Su Xi was very tolerant at the time. He tried his best to make up for the fans who came from afar. He sang a song with Coco during the halftime break and told the fans to keep their expectations and that he would come back again.

Then everyone knew the story, and the Cavaliers became an out-and-out side joke.Even LeBron James, whom they regarded as their king, also fell behind in comparison with Su Xi.Suxi helped the Pacers achieve the best record in history and win the first championship in history. Suxi was also historically elected as the Finals MVP, and went on to win an Olympic men's basketball gold medal, the most valuable in history, in the summer.

The turning point in Suhi's career came in Houston.

McGrady also hopes that the turning point in his career will be Houston. He is ambitious and full of expectations.Although he is only 25 years old this year, he has already experienced two teams. In Toronto, he was Pippen next to his cousin. He did not want to settle for this. When the Magic offered him an olive branch, he immediately went to Orlando.Although Orlando also wanted him to be Pippen for Grant Hill, the first generation successor to Jordan.

But Grant Hill was too fragile. His injuries and physical condition prevented him from inheriting the throne. As a result, Tracy McGrady reached the top of the league's outside line and won the scoring title twice.

Now that he has come to the Rockets, he believes that his era is about to begin.

Before the game, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I know many people came to see Su Xi and Yao Ming tonight, but in the end they will become my fans. Because everyone knows that I can dominate the game. .”

He also talked about the scene when he and Su Xi fought against each other for the first time. "At that time, he was a very ordinary rookie, and I could always easily cause embarrassment for him. He was still unconvinced and told me that it would be great if he had some of my talents. I told him at that time, even if Even if you have my talent, you can’t beat me.”

"Later, he actually asked me if I was really willing to give him a talent? Of course I am willing! Hahaha." McGrady said with a smile.

Then, a reporter from CCTV asked him a key question: "Did you win the last game?"

"Uh... this... uh." Maddie was embarrassed for a few seconds. "...You know, I was playing in Orlando...and the Magic didn't have a lot of help."

"Jack was also in the Cavaliers at that time. I remember, they were last in the Eastern Conference..." the CCTV reporter added.

Maddie's face hardened.Until the reporter laughed and said, "But now, you are the two most watched teams in the East and West. Who do you think will win tonight?"

"Rocket!" McGrady said very confidently.

Of course these words will reach Su Xi's ears.Before Su Xi could speak, Artest couldn't help but said: "He dominated the game? What game did he dominate? Dominated the game that allowed the Magic to select the first pick in this year's draft? The game with the worst record in history? A game in which two scoring champions were defeated by crazy shots?"

"How can he compare with Jack? Because he has never made it to the second round? Because he was ahead 3:1 and was defeated?"

"I am very angry!"

"Very serious consequences!"

Artest spoke loudly to reporters.

Then, he turned around and went to the locker room, where Su Xi was still being interviewed with a smile on his face.He was already there yelling, "Guys, gotta buck up tonight. Someone's disrespecting Jack."

hum!
This sentence was like a bomb exploding in the locker room. Everyone put down what they were doing: some people lifted up their pants, some took off their headphones, some threw their stockings into the trash can, and some got off the steel pipe. ...They all walked toward Artest, with a clear goal: "Who? Who disrespects Jack."

"Tracy McGrady."

Artest named the superstar.If it were other teams, there might be some flinching.But this is the Pacers, and this is the defending champion.

"He has to be taught a lesson."

"We have to give him a humiliation he can't refuse."

"Move it, guys. Tracy McGrady shouldn't be leaving this arena tonight with a smile on his face."

"He must be hung up and whipped!"

"..."

The Pacers were furious.

Newcomer Stephen Jackson was a little out of tune. He couldn't help but ask Artest beside him: "Isn't it a bit exaggerated? He just disrespected Jack a little."

"No, Stephen, you don't know what Jack has done under his leadership. If you don't respect Jack, you disrespect all of us." Artest said: "You must have this sense of collective honor, otherwise you won't be able to survive in the team. .You will be on guard against Tracy tonight."

what?
"it is good!"

When Susie's brothers were shouting and killing in the locker room, trying to kill Tracy McGrady.Su Xi was smiling elegantly as she faced the CCTV camera.He sent greetings to audience friends across the country, and pointed out the direction for Chinese basketball with a foresight: as long as we persist in grassroots basketball and build a good talent echelon, NBA China Derby will be seen every day in the future and will become a normal thing.

When talking about Tracy's question, Su Xi also laughed twice and laughed it off.

Under CCTV's lens, Su Xi looked as elegant as a godfather.

After all, this is the god of Asian basketball, the only true god who holds an Olympic gold medal in men's basketball.

How can you just quarrel with people casually? It's out of character.

However, in front of the American media's cameras, Su Xi has a completely different image.Dongxing Yaoyang is nothing more than this: difficult to handle?Then don’t do it.

Table flipping is the norm.

...

The Pacers' starting lineup tonight is: Suhi, Artest, Stephen Jackson, O'Neal Jr., and Jeff Foster.

Larry Bird looked at the elite soldiers wearing stripes and black on the court, and he was filled with excitement: This lineup... can kill the Rockets even if they play randomly.What are rockets?You are bragging, what level do you dare to compare with us?

Before the jump ball, the two sides stood on opposite sides of the center line. A comparison made it even more obvious.

The Rockets' lineup is: Tyronn Lue, Jim Jackson, Tracy McGrady, Maurice Taylor, Yao Ming.

Except for McGrady and Yao Ming, they are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

Foster beat Yao Ming with a jump ball.

Su Xi got the basketball and he slowly moved forward.He was sad that the Rockets actually used Tyronn Lue to defend him.He pushed Tyronn Lue in from behind the three-point line: He could obviously use his speed to eat him, but Su Xi didn't think it was necessary.

He pushed Tyronn Lue near the free throw line, turned over and shot a jumper... Tyronn Lue couldn't put any defensive pressure on him.

Swish!
Easily penetrate.

Su Xi now has 82 points of super offensive talent. He is not just a blacksmith.

Jeff Van Gundy used Tyronn Lue to defend, and Su Xi casually scored [-] or [-] points in a single game as if for fun.

"Jeff, we need to strengthen the defense at position 1."

When Su Xi returned to defense, he saw Van Gundy sorting out small notes on the sidelines and reminded him.

Van Gundy raises his head and strengthens the defense at the 1 position?
He was meticulous and looked down at the note again. He stayed up until two o'clock in the morning last night and prepared a pocket of tactical notes. He had to first find the note that strengthened the defense at position 1.

Seeing him like this, Su Xi thought to herself: How could Pat Riley, such a shrewd person, teach such a disciple?

Can the Rockets be good?
McGrady received the basketball from outside the three-point line, which was no different from when he was in the Magic. Anyway, the person who passed the ball to him was Tyronn Lue.

When McGrady got the basketball, Stephen Jackson enveloped him. He had one hand up and one hand down. He stared at McGrady with burning eyes.

Jackson's appearance would be terrifying even among murderers. Maddie couldn't help but feel a little scared when she was stared at like this.

I thought: What’s wrong?Do I owe you money?

"You have to pay the price for disrespecting Jack!" Stephen Jackson said ferociously, his tone of voice was like a murderer holding a knife to your throat: I want to give you some blood.
