Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

General Manager's Office.

Joe Dumars is sitting at his desk, squinting at the computer in the corner of the table, on which is the news that the Pistons have just announced the signing of Chris Webb.

On the computer screen, he smiled into the microphone, welcoming Chris Webb to join him.

But at the moment, sitting on the office chair, he has no expression of excitement on his face.

On the contrary, a little bit more unhappy.

"Damn bird!"

As the dissatisfaction on his face became more and more obvious, Joe Dumas cursed.

Suddenly make a move and grab someone from Lao Tzu!

What a pity, it's not authentic!

Do you know how much effort I put in to get Rasheed Wallace?

Almost a month!

From knowing that Rasheed Wallace wanted to leave the Blazers, Joe Dumars had already begun to make arrangements to prepare for bringing Rasheed Wallace to the Pistons.

He can feel that this guy is the last piece of the puzzle for the Pistons!

For this reason, he deliberately brought in a few good general managers, and together persuaded the Blazers general manager to enter the game. At any rate, he finally reached an agreement. What he needs to pay is Okur's second round of signing, plus some cash, and then He can get Rasheed Wallace from the Hawks.

Of course, there are some transactions in this, but that is the business of several other general managers. Anyway, he has to pay for this and this, or in other words, it is not a price!

Unexpectedly, just when he thought everything was ready and "Roaring Heavenly Lord" was definitely going to Detroit, Larry Bird suddenly made a shot, and a future first-round pick plus two second-round picks directly grabbed people!

Why did the Blazers general manager think that the market for Rashid Wallace was so good? For fear of missing the opportunity, he did not communicate with Joe Dumas at all, and he directly completed the transaction with Larry Bird and replaced Rashid Wallace. Sent to Indiana.

When Joe Dumas knew about this, the two people had already submitted the contract for approval, just waiting for the official announcement...

He also didn't care about scolding these two guys. In this case, scolding was useless. He could only turn his gun to grab other people immediately.

The current lineup of the Pistons must be strengthened!

This can be seen by Joe Dumars from their battle with the Rockets.

And now the Pacers have also introduced Rasheed Wallace, which has directly become the most luxurious team in the East, and has become a major concern for the Pistons in this year's playoffs!

It won't work without reinforcement!

In the playoffs last year, although they fell in the Eastern Finals, the entire journey can be described as a stumbling. They almost got a "black eight" in the first round. In the end, Carlisle became a "backup position" and was fired. .

In this year's playoffs, if the results are not ideal... the guy who is back has to choose between Larry Brown and him.

Judging from the results of dealings with Larry Brown in the past few months, it is really not a simple matter to let this old man take the blame.

Because the thing this guy is best at is to "snap the pot."

Besides, this guy just came from the 76ers, and in 2001 he also led the 76ers to the finals. If the coaching results are not satisfactory, he has every reason to say that he is not good. Who was he who coached the 76ers back then? It's Allen Iverson, the pinnacle. It's Mutombo who has been the "Best Defensive Player" for several years. Let's take a look at who the Pistons are now? Big Ben plays center, can he play center? He can't fight! Don’t know if you don’t have this ability!

When it comes to the end, it is to blame for his incompetence as the general manager. The "Big Bird" can pull Rasheed Wallace from the Trail Blazers to the Pacers. Why can't you?

Therefore, Joe Thomas must have a sense of presence!

I don't know if he was lucky. It happened that Chris Webber was leaving the team at this time, and he didn't care about pulling people, so he quickly sat on the negotiating table with his chips.

In order to ensure that this big fish that suddenly appeared can be salvaged, Joe Dumas called the general manager of other teams to join him. He paid two chips for the first round of signings, and also took out two second rounds. Out of some cash, in short, the Pistons' future was lost, and Chris Webber was just taken from the Kings.

This is equivalent to saying that this time he signed, Joe Dumars completely hollowed out the future, in exchange for a guy who didn’t know the risk. After all, he hadn’t run in before, and I don’t know if Chris Weber can run in with other people to make a chemical reaction. Come on, if you can't get it right... Tsk tut!

Do you think he can be in a good mood?

It's weird to be in a good mood!

This is also the reason why he couldn't help but scold "Big Bird". He could have bought Rashid Wallace with extremely low risk, and even if the running-in was not smooth, he would not lose anything.

Now... the risk factor can be said to have risen linearly!

"Fxxk, Larry!"

After scolding Bird, Joe Dumas couldn't help but scolded Larry Brown.

In his mind, Larry Brown was even worse than Bird.

Originally, he only needed two first-round picks to get Chris Webber, because the opponent was very interested in Milicic, and Joe Dumas agreed to add him.

After all, after a month in the new season, this guy really has no place in the Pistons, so just trade it! No matter how talented the baby can't play in the Pistons, it is the same as the worthless "parallel import", and trading him is a reasonable avoidance of losses.

But after Larry Brown knew about it, he disagreed with it all the time, and kept emphasizing "I have a great use for this kid, and I can't trade"... Chris Webber only added two second round picks!

Is it useful?

There is a fart!

Do you think I don't know that you are afraid that things will be revealed?

Damn it!

It's a curse. Now he and Larry Brown are grasshoppers on a rope. After catching him, Joe Dumas himself can't get better-after all, it is his acquiescence, Larry Brown can be so unscrupulous PUA Milicic !

It's just that, he won two second rounds in vain!

Hey~

I believed the media at first, so what about signing this guy?

This guy is not as easy to use as Rick Carlisle!

With a long sigh, Joe Dumas couldn't help but want to cry. He wanted to cry out all the water in his head when he signed for Larry Brown...

Otherwise, why is he so passive!

Thinking about it carefully, I was afraid that this old man would be snatched away by others, so I was anxious to cut Rick Carlisle... I really don't know what the rush is!

...

Derek's restaurant.

When Yao Ming arrived, Bill Duffy and Milicic had already arrived, and Bill Duffy specifically asked for a private room this time.

Yao Ming saw Milicic again, who had no arrogance on his face.

If the original Milicic was a sunflower, and only the sun could make him turn his head, then the current Milicic is a mimosa, and he probably couldn't help shivering if he touched it.

It seems that the beating by the society is very successful!

But this guy still didn't say hello to Yao Ming, his head was lowered.

It's all in dire straits, why is he still in the mood to say hello now?

Yao Ming ignored him, and asked Bill Duffy, "Man, talk about it, what happened!"

It is better for him to figure out his own doubts first.

Bill Duffy didn't talk nonsense this time, and directly explained the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After listening to Yao Ming, he turned his head and glanced at Milicic, who was still buried in his head: This guy is really sad!

However, he was not surprised that Larry Brown did such a thing. This old guy cares most about his reputation. If Milicic is allowed to go to the king, if he gets a chance, it’s not him who really hits the face. Is Larry Brown?

Being slapped in the face by a rookie... This feeling is probably worse for him than eating cockroach shit!

It is normal to cut off Milicic.

It's just that, Milicic's collapse is inevitable. After all, he finally had hope in his life, but it suddenly dimmed. Who can stand this? Especially Milicic's mentality was originally not good.

No, I have been autistic!

"Yao, what do you think you should do about this?" Bill Duffy said the matter and began to ask Yao Ming's opinion. He is an agent who has experienced a lot of storms, and he is a bit at a loss at the moment.

There is really no team general manager or head coach who has experienced such a big response...

"Go back to Europe to play basketball!" Yao Ming didn't hesitate at all, and said his way.

Bill Duffy was taken aback when he said this, and Milicic, who had been bowing his head, also looked up at Yao Ming at this time, with surprise on his face. He didn't seem to expect Yao Ming to say this.

Then he became more unwilling, shook his head slightly, and lowered his head again.

Although I did not speak, the meaning to be expressed has been expressed: I do not want to go back!

alright!

For this result, Yao Ming is not surprised.

Think about it, too, if you entered the NBA under the title of "Golden Boy", it would be shameful to go back so sullenly!

"In this case……"

Yao Ming's eyes were a little bit more joking.

"In this case... let's do the big ticket!"

"Um?"

Bill Duffy was taken aback.

He looked at Yao Ming's expression and couldn't help but ask: "What?"

Milicic also looked up, and his frustrated eyes were a little more curious.

"listen……"

Yao Ming didn't continue selling Guanzi, and expressed his thoughts.

When he finished speaking, Bill Duffy and Milicic looked at each other, and at the same time, Bill Duffy couldn't help but swallowed his throat. What Yao Ming just said to him was somewhat unexpected.

"What do you want to do?" He didn't forget to ask Milicic's opinion.

Milicic was silent for a long time without speaking. He had all expressions on his face. For a while, his eyes became firmer and he nodded hard: "I've decided, like Yao said, otherwise I'm really ruined. !"

The matter was solved like this, um, it can't be said that it has been solved, but there is a plan to solve the problem. Yao Ming then chatted with Bill Duffy for a few more words, and then left directly.

However, on the way home, thinking of what has happened this season and what is about to happen, he couldn't help but say: "This season is really getting more and more interesting!"

He also didn't know that the "Big Bird" watched the Pacers vs. Rockets game before he made up his mind to grab Rashid Wallace.

Of course, Joe Dumars said it bluntly. It was also in the Pistons vs. Rockets game that he realized the lack of the Pistons' current lineup, so he eagerly signed in...

Yes, it is not too much to say that he is the initiator of all this is the fuse!

This "butterfly" really set off a storm!

...

The next night, the Rockets vs. Pistons game arrived as scheduled.

Needless to say, the outside world has paid much attention to this game.

Many media have looked forward to the game, or the performance of Ben Wallace and Yao Ming in this game. These two guys are also the fundamental reason why this game will attract so much attention.

Judging from the reactions of the various media, most people obviously support the Rockets and Yao Ming, um...no way, the Rockets beat the Pistons too badly in the last game!

Before the game, although the Pistons had completed the deal and Chris Webber was traded from the Kings, the deal was just announced. Chris Webber did not come to Houston to join the Pistons, but went directly. In Detroit, he must go for a medical check-up, and the medical report is OK before he can officially enter the Pistons. Like him, Okur and others sent by the Pistons also have to go to the Kings for a medical check-up. There is no problem before they can enter the Kings. This deal is a deal. It is also considered to be officially reached.

In other words, not only did the Pistons play with the Rockets today’s lineup, but because of the departure of Okur and others, it became a little weak...Although it is a role player or even a drinking fountain, among the strong teams, Sometimes the weakness of the bench is the key to affecting the direction of the game!

How do you fight this?

Wait for it to be chipped!

Soon, the facts also proved that most of the media's forward-looking problem was not at all, 100 to 82. In the last game, the Rockets won the Pistons by 17 points. In this game, the Rockets won the Pistons by 18 points!

Yao Ming is actively working on the offensive end in this game. He still finds Ben Wallace and various singles. It's really not that he wants to target Ben Wallace, but that he wants to win the "Best Defensive Player Award." Ben Wallace became a "loophole" for the Pistons!

Only in this way can his reputation drop!

So, accept reality, boy!

In the end, Yao Ming scored 35 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, once again bullying Ben Wallace...

Ben Wallace's reputation on the defensive end that he managed to recover through the previous period of time, with the end of the game tonight, collapsed again!

And this time, it may not be so easy to fix it after it collapsed.

After all, one collapse can be said to be an accident, this is the second collapse, who has the heart to help you find excuses? More media reporters realized that this Wallace's single-defense ability really needs to be re-trained... This is deadly enough!

After the game, Yao Ming’s interview time was a little longer than the previous few days. In addition to seizing the opportunity to suppress Ben Wallace again, Yao Ming also accepted an exclusive interview with a domestic reporter-Xu Jicheng tonight. NS.

"Let's talk while eating!"

This was the first thing Yao Ming said when he saw Xu Jicheng.

Xu Jicheng waved his hand and pointed to the camera crew nearby: "This time is a video interview."

"Isn't it the Christmas battle, Yao Shark battle, domestic fans are looking forward to this game, so we also want to make it bigger!"

When Yao Ming heard this, he immediately understood, and deliberately showed a "sorrowful" expression: "It seems that it can't be over until 1 o'clock tonight!"

"Hahaha, no way, Dayao! Don't you know how much domestic fans like you now!" Xu Jicheng also knew that Yao Ming was joking with this expression.

Can I not know?

Yao Ming replied in his heart, but did not say it.

This is not a "strengthening the essence of the strength".

Baidu's Tieba function, which was officially launched a few days ago, is only an internal beta version, but it is not much different from the official public version, and it is for the entire network.

After just a few days, various "ba"s appeared, and the domestic "Tieba era" arrived...

Among the various "bars", there are also many posts related to Yao Ming, such as "Yao Ming", "Great Demon King", "Great Devil Touching Head", "Yao Ming Separation"...

And the update speed of the posts in each bar is called fast, one by one, very active!

Yao Ming also watched several times over the wall, so he has a certain understanding of the enthusiasm of domestic fans at the moment.

For this reason, he was only willing to accept such a long interview in the middle of the night...

Of course, Xu Jicheng was the reporter who interviewed, and that was one of the reasons.

...

After defeating the Pistons, the Rockets played two more games, winning the second-ranked Nets in the East and losing to the 11th-ranked Sonics in the West.

Let the major fans call out and do not understand.

It also makes the management of the Seattle SuperSonics, who are eager to show off this season, hate their teeth.

Isn't this making trouble?

Yao Ming is also very helpless. Why does he feel so cold in Seattle?

In the first battle against the Supersonics, Yao Ming rarely played in a downturn, and his shooting percentage did not exceed 45%. Therefore, the Rockets lost the game.

Yao Ming took the initiative to "back the pot" after the game: "This is my reason, I will look back at this game..."

What he didn't expect was.

Francis also took the initiative to "back the pot": "We shouldn't have lost this game. If I can score more goals, I shouldn't miss a lot of goals. This is my problem!"

Not only did Francis take the initiative to take the pot, Karl Malone also took the responsibility of losing to himself: "The Rockets don’t need me to do much, but in this game, I obviously should do more. This is one of the few. When it was time for me to exert my strength, I didn't do it..."

In addition, Lagaber and others also took some responsibilities from their own perspective.

This caused a lot of discussion from the outside world.

Kenny Smith said: "The Rockets team atmosphere is also great!"

Drexler said: "This is the team atmosphere that a successful team should have, and now this atmosphere appears on the Rockets!"

O'Neill ate a large bag of potato chips.

This kid is too happy, right?

Look at Yao Ming’s situation, and think about his teammates...

Shaq did it too!

I am so angry!

What good things are all his!

Baby "Shark" is very unhappy.

It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't know that he was unhappy. Then "Christmas War" you must not be depressed to death?

...

At the end of the game with the Sonics, the Rockets once again returned to their home court. The next thing they are about to usher in is a strong team-the Dallas Mavericks in Texas with them!

This game is also the Rockets' last game before Christmas.

After playing this game, the Rockets will usher in the "Christmas War" and Yao Ming will also usher in the "big shark" O'Neal.

——Yao, are you free? See you at night?

When Nowitzki arrived in Houston, he sent a message to Yao Ming. Because of his study of "Golden Rooster Independence", he has been in contact with Yao Ming quite often during this period of time, and the relationship between the two has improved a lot.

Yao Ming responded as soon as he saw the information: OK, no problem!

Then Yao Ming and Nowitzki asked for the address of the hotel where he was staying, and agreed on a meeting time.

Speaking of which, if Vince Carter knew about this, he would definitely be tempted to scold Yao's name: tui, "scumbag"!

Well, when Yao Ming went to Toronto before, Vince Carter also asked Yao Ming to meet him, but Yao Ming refused. There was no way. He didn’t usually contact him much. He didn’t know what to say when he met. He was afraid of embarrassment. Simply refused.

After replying to the text messages, Yao Ming also remembered this, but the text messages were sent out.

Now, he only hopes that the media will not over-report this matter!

Otherwise, he really couldn't explain to Vince Carter.

Vince Carter: Tui, "scumbag", what can I explain!

The "Big Devil" private meeting "German Chariot", "International Twin Towers" will come true in Houston? 》

But Yao Ming obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the Houston paparazzi for him. He and Nowitzki sat down to eat in the restaurant for less than half an hour before an article with a similar title was posted.

Then, some people are in a hurry...

Cuban called Nowitzki that night: "Hey, man, what's the matter? Are you leaving me? What are you doing?"

Nowitzki reluctantly explained: "This is all a misunderstanding, not what you think, it's just a meal, we didn't talk about any other topics, I will always be yours!"

"you sure?"

"Of course, I'm pretty sure!"

"O, OK, man, I may be too excited, but you should know that Dirk..."

"I know, buddy, I know everything, you don't know how to explain, trust me, there are no accidents!"

"Well, that's great..."

The two chatted for an hour, and his wife lying next to Cuban wanted to grab his phone... Am I ugly? Then I go?

Vince Carter also sent a message to Yao Ming: Man, I am very disappointed in you.

Yao Ming didn't talk nonsense. He directly sent the name and address of a restaurant, and said: When you come to Houston, see you then.

Vince Carter is satisfied: good brother!

But more information was sent, including Morris Taylor's, James Posey's, and so-and-so. They all invited Yao Ming out to play before, but he refused.

Yao Ming was slightly stunned, um, did I turn down so many people?

Damn my charm!

Early the next morning, the official announcement of the "Best Player of the Week Award" for the third week of December, Yao Ming once again won the "Best Player of the Week Award". This is the 8th time he won the "Best Player of the Week" after the reopening. Award”, and this is the second time this season has won this award.

In fact, he could get more, because the Rockets' record this season is really good, and now they are ranked first in the league, not to mention his stats. Compared with any player, he will not fall behind. It is true. It's too buggy!

However, Francis sometimes has very good statistics. He also has the best times of the week. So far this season, he has also won the "Best of the Week." And the Rockets' dual-core power has also affected the official judgment. , Which makes the official awards to the core players of some single-core teams first under the same conditions.

Of course, Yao Ming doesn't care about this kind of small honor.

As long as his place on the MVP list of the regular season does not drop!

It is worth mentioning that this past week, the Rockets did not have a record of victory. They just lost to the Sonics. In the past week, their record was only 3 wins and 1 loss.

However, although they did not have a complete victory record in the past week, other teams in the West also did not have a complete victory record. The Spurs lost one game, the Lakers lost one game, and the Timberwolves also lost one game...

The impact of the previous two trades that made Yao Ming unexpectedly showed gradually. The team that defeated these three powerful Western teams was no one else, but the Pistons and Pacers who had just completed reinforcements.

For these two teams, the Pistons had 3 wins and 1 loss in the past week. The game that they lost was lost to the Rockets. That is to say, after Chris Webb joined, this team scored three. Streak...

Chris Weber's compatibility with this team is very good, a bit beyond everyone's expectations, including Yao Ming's.

Knowing that Chris Webb went to the Pistons, Yao Ming was a little surprised at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, he still felt that the "Pistons Five" who introduced Rashid Wallace in the previous life were stronger. This guy is not only attacking and defending. Both ends fit the Pistons and can make up for the team's shortcomings to the greatest extent. More importantly, Rashid Wallace's own style is very compatible with this team!

In contrast, Chris Webber may be able to help the team on the offensive end, but on the defensive end is unlikely to be as supportive as Rasheed Wallace did.

However, judging from the performance of Chris Webber after joining the Pistons, what he brought to the team seems to be more than Yao Ming thought.

His joining not only gave the Pistons one more support point on the court, but also one more ball-holding point. This is too important...The team offensive ability of the Pistons is therefore much better.

In addition, I don’t know if it’s Larry Brown’s "bonus". Yao Ming feels that Chris Webber is also a lot tougher on the defensive end. He was a bit more hardworking when resisting than when he was in the Kings...

Well, to sum it up, the offensive role is greater than Yao Ming imagined, and the defensive role is not as unbearable as Yao Ming thought. This allowed the Pistons to win three consecutive victories and even the Lakers were killed by them.

You know, since O'Neal came back, the Lakers haven't lost yet!

It can be seen that the Pistons are in such a strong state.

In other words, Ben Wallace also faces the chagrin of the media all day long: "If we are the current people, if we meet the Rockets again, we will definitely not lose!"

such a pity!

The two games between the Pistons and the Rockets this season have ended, and his single-defense ability has been questioned. Now no matter what he says, his bleak defensive performance against Yao Ming has been deeply remembered by the fans. In my mind.

However, they are not the strongest team in the East this past week.

The Pacers' performance in the past week is stronger than them, 4 wins and 0 losses. From the time when Rashid Wallace joined to the present, they have won 4 consecutive victories. Moreover, the gold content of these 4 victories is very high. The Spurs Both the Timberwolves and the Timberwolves lost to them this week.

O'Neal also became the "Best Player of the Week Award" in the Eastern Conference this week!

However, O'Neal is not as annoyed as Ben Wallace, why not meet the Rockets later, if they meet the Rockets now, they will definitely not lose!

With the joining of Rashid Wallace, he once again saw the possibility of a "1v1 man battle" with Yao Ming!

Although the Pacers and the Rockets have finished the two regular season games, it's okay, there is still the finals!

so……

Wait, then!

Yao!

See you at "The Peak"!

And as these two teams completed the reinforcement through the transaction ~www.novelmt.com~ and achieved a record of victory in the face of the Western powers in the past week, some experts from Eastern cities stepped forward for the first time: " Now, the guys who are still talking about the strong in the East and the weak in the West can shut up! Because the East also has a team that can wrestle with the Lakers and Spurs!"

Looking at the speed of these speeches, we can see that they were suffocated before!

The experts on the western side did not expect the experts from the eastern cities to suddenly come out. I really don’t know what to say for a while. After all, the facts are in front of us. In the past week, the two newcomers in the eastern state have been very scary!

However, not all experts on the western side were silent. Houston experts stood up one by one and said "the West is strong and the East is weak"!

Now the Eastern Conference experts shut up again-the Rockets have just cleaned up the second-largest Nets in the Eastern Conference. As for the Pistons and the Pacers, it's useless to be strong now, because they have been swept away and the Big Ben is twice. Was called the "best defensive loophole", O'Neal was beaten twice...

Why are you still arguing?

Silence is the east tonight.
