Chapter 221 Who is the leader
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States.It is also a famous space city, where the largest research and development center of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) - Johnson Space Center is located.

The Rockets' team name and the city of Houston complement each other perfectly.

Most of the Chinese fans' familiarity with this city comes from Dayao.

For the Rockets team, Tianchao fans have devoted too much attention and love. Although many people claim that they are not fans of Dayao and the Rockets, when Yao Ming scored super data and led the Rockets forward, the total It is someone who will talk about the rockets that have been chased over the years with relish.

Of course, there are also humorous jokes:

The upper line is the big deal every month, the second line is the annual championship, and the horizontal comment is: You more than me!
The general manager of the Rockets, Morey, said that he was determined not to take the blame, because it was a policy made by the owner Alexander to save the team money. Can he, the executor, resist the order?
Well, the Lunar New Year in 08 is February 2008, 2 in the Western calendar. For Chinese fans, what could be more exciting than watching a wonderful Chinese Derby on TV on the third day of the Lunar New Year? happy thing?
In fact, Erniu and Dayao sent New Year blessings to everyone in the latest New Year greeting video.

Well, well, Alian also gave it away, but his lines looked fine, but with Alian's expression that doesn't like to smile, if you read it again...

"The Chinese New Year is coming, the ratings are high, and the NBA is full of power and prestige."

Well, let's talk about the upcoming Celestial Derby between Dayao and Erniu!
The Eagles team led by Ruan Erniu came to Toyota Center to warm up. Dayao saw him and walked over immediately.

Of course Er Niu also saw him, and hurried up to hold Dayao's hand.

After the two shook hands, they hugged each other very politely, and said happy new year to each other, even though this year's greetings are a bit over.

This scene was faithfully recorded by the cameras of the imperial court, which may become a milestone in the history of Chinese basketball.

This season, McGrady played on and off, Dayao became the well-deserved leader of the Rockets, and Erniu was the hottest player in the new generation, and established his unique position in the Hawks early on.

The two Celestials became the bosses of the professional team in the United States. This is a great victory for the Celestials in the history of basketball.

However, it didn't take long for the two leaders to greet each other, and the Chinese domestic news reporters on one side surrounded them. As the two heavyweights of the 08 Olympic men's basketball team, their every move is important news material.

Dayao and Erniu's old acquaintance, Wei Ping Bryant, no, it was Teacher Zhang Lili who came to the scene holding a microphone.

He said to Yao Ming: "Dayao, this is the first time you see Er Niu. Do you think he is the same as you imagined?"

Dayao said: "It's about the same, as strong as I imagined, just like his name, like a bull."

"Er Niu, what about you?"

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "I finally experienced what it's like to be looked down upon. No wonder the Internet says that Dayao is a photo killer. I really want to understand what it is."

Yao Ming replied: "Do you need me to borrow a training box for you?"

After speaking, the three of them laughed together.

Afterwards, Director Zhang raised the Olympic issues that Chinese fans are most concerned about to Ruan and Yao.

Yao Ming's answer was quite satisfactory, saying that he would work hard to achieve better results.

Er Niu said confidently: "With Dayao and I, we should at least pursue a goal of being in the top four, right?"

Zhang Lili waved his hand and said: "You can just say this, if you can't do it, you will be 'slapped in the face'."

Lao Zhang is also a wonderful person, he knows how to keep pace with him, and he used the word slap in the face.

Er Niu smiled and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, set a higher goal, even if you can't achieve it, you can try your best to work hard according to this goal!
There is an old saying in the Tian Dynasty: "If you choose what is above, you can get what is in it." 'I think we should be a little demanding of ourselves. "

Dayao and Zhang nodded in conviction. This man who is destined to become the leader of the Tianchao men's basketball team in the next ten years does have enough leadership qualities.

In the following time, Ruan and Yao made various poses, such as holding the ball with one hand at the same time, etc., which provided enough material for the Chinese media present.

Chaoju has always been able to handle the relationship between himself and the media very well.James is majestic and majestic on the court, but off the court, he is popular in various American media, which is the embodiment of high emotional intelligence.

After the interview between the two, they went into the intense warm-up again.

Don't think that the Celestial Derby is just a match between two Chinese players playing tricks. In the face of the interests of the team, both Yao and Ruan must go all out.

What's more, Dayao and Er Niu understand the inner meaning of this game. This is the selection of the true leader of the Chinese men's basketball team.

According to his qualifications, Dayao's role as the leader of the men's basketball team is naturally undisputed. No matter how well Ruan Erniu played, he still had to obey the unspoken rules.

But with the premise of "the imperial capital of the Olympic Games, strive for success", it is reasonable for Er Niu to come from behind.

Can be the boss, who wants to be the younger brother?Erniu is no exception.

On the other hand, even if Dayao had a good temper, would he be so willing to step aside?

Er Niu, want the position of the leader of the men's basketball team?Very good, come and grab it!
As a Chinese who has achieved great success in the United States, Dayao and Er Niu are both strong people who accept this "winner is king" survival logic.

Teacher Zhang Lili tidied up and returned to the commentary booth. Today, his partner is still one of the famous "Shuangping" groups-Mr. Sun Weiping.

Regarding Mr. Sun's funny quotes, fans can Baidu by themselves.In fact, Teacher Sun also has romantic moments, such as the classic "I X"!
The game finally started, and the Tianchao fans in front of the TV got impatient for a long time. After making tea and eating New Year's goods, they finally saw Dayao and Erniu's jump ball.

Dayao, who is obviously taller, won the jump ball in the end.

The ball was in Alston's hands.

The Rockets' starting lineup today is fairly neat:
C Yao Ming
PF Luis Scola

SF Sean Shane Shane

SG Tracy McGrady

PG Raff Alston

Naturally, the Hawks have not changed much. Anthony Johnson continues to serve as the starting point guard, and the other positions remain unchanged.

Alston dribbled the ball across the half court, Yao Ming asked for the ball from a low post, and Er Niu resisted firmly behind him.

Dayao's strength is not weaker than O'Neal's. This is the most intuitive feeling of Erniu. Although Dayao has no way to deceive his opponents with various flexible turns and steps, but such a giant-level strength is enough to overwhelm most alliances. Insider.

After Yao Ming made a feint, he immediately turned around and shot a fallback jumper.

Er Niu tried his best to take off, but Dayao's shooting point was too high, and the ball was scored!
Unattainable height, coupled with unstoppable shooting points, this is the reason why Dayao is on both sides of the basket and has no solution for fadeaway jumpers.

Dayao made a shot, and Erniu was not far behind. On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu was also in the low post.

Hard chiseling!

Even O'Neill and Howard were killed by Er Niu, and Yao Ming was no problem.

Dayao behind him finally understood why no one in the league could stop Er Niu's buttocks, this power is too strong,
As Dayao was forced to retreat again and again, Er Niu also followed suit and hit the ANSWER-BALL with a flip-back jumper.

The two Celestials made a good start for this Celestial Derby.
