Chapter 952 Yao Ming’s Way Out

On Friday, November 6, 2009, the sky in Houston was overcast with heavy rain, and the entire city seemed to be shrouded in an unknown and terrifying haze.

The Seattle SuperSonics had a five-day break after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 1.

In the middle of the season, such a long break will be precious.

But at the beginning of the season, the Seattle SuperSonics had such a long break, which was really painful.

At the beginning of the season, when everyone was physically strong and eager to compete and fight, it was really uncomfortable to give them five days off all of a sudden.

However, these five days of vacation and the bad weather in Houston have not affected the popularity of the Seattle SuperSonics in the entire United States.

Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics came to Texas two days ago. Durant and Tucker's alma mater, the University of Texas, is almost equivalent to the Seattle SuperSonics' branch base in the United States.

Texas is different from most states in the United States. Texas does not have only one NBA team in the state, nor does it have no NBA teams. Texas has three NBA teams, and these three teams are all traditional strong teams.

This is a place where the basketball market is quite mature.

Many people say that if you look at a team or a player's popularity in the United States, you can tell by looking at the treatment of this team in Texas.

As long as this team and this person can break out of the siege of the top three in Texas, then this team and this person will definitely be the most popular team and the most popular player in the United States.

Yeas and the Sonics used to be the most popular players on the hottest team in the NBA, but compared with this season, they are really different.

This has something to do with the fact that Leafs and the Seattle SuperSonics have never had such a crazy start in the past few seasons.

After all, no matter how nice the NBA sounds, it is actually a league for winners.

Crazy needs victory to support it.

No matter what the opponent is, he wins every game and beats his opponent by at least 20 points in every game. Who can withstand this?

A team composed of civilian players such as Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Rondo, Gasol, Ibaka, James Harden, etc. was brought to such results by Yes, which is better than the Lakers. , the three super teams of the Heat and Grizzlies are all strong, which is really shocking.

Even a player with Rondo's level of scoring ability is at the top of the league's scoring list.

This plot is too fantasy and too popular.

Of course, there will be such big changes in the Texas basketball market this year.

Except the Sonics are truly incredible this season.

It also has something to do with the fact that two of the top three teams in Texas suddenly stretched their hips this season.

The Mavericks, one of the top three, have been relatively stable this season. After acquiring Marion and Kidd this season, they have not lost yet. Like the Seattle SuperSonics, they are tied for first place in the Western Conference with four consecutive wins.

But compared with the Mavericks, the Spurs and Rockets are lame.

At the start of the season, the Spurs were unexpectedly defeated by the Thunder, led by Chris Paul, Griffin, Spencer Hauspeja and others, and the Bulls, led by Rose.

After winning one game in the first four games of the season, the Jazz are now the weakest team in the Western Conference.

As for the Rockets, they were even worse than the Spurs. The Spurs managed to win a game against the Jazz.

The Rockets really didn't win a game. The Spurs could still beat the Jazz. The Rockets faced the Warriors, a team that was a loser. Not only did they lose, but they were also beaten hard by the Warriors in garbage time.

The Seattle SuperSonics are off to a brilliant start this season.

It seems that the brilliance of many players on many teams has been severely overshadowed.

In fact, with the public opinion of the Seattle SuperSonics and Leafs overwhelmingly overwhelming this season, the performance of several teams and stars this season is very, very amazing.

In addition to the Bulls, who rose last season and have risen even more rapidly this season, the Thunder, who are beating the Spurs, and the Warriors, who are beating the Rockets, are two of them.

After the Thunder acquired two rookies, Spencer Hawes and Griffin, this season, these two rookies who perfectly match Chris Paul's style took the Thunder off directly.

Spencer can shoot and pass, the white Yao Ming from the University of Washington.

Griffin can control, run, pass and jump. He is the dunk version of Malone in Goose City.

Not only can these two rookies cooperate with Paul, they also cooperate with each other very well and are in perfect harmony.

So much so that this season the Thunder have now become the Seattle SuperSonics, the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, the teams with the fourth-ranked record in the Western Conference, with 4 wins and 1 loss, and the fourth-place record. However, because of the small teams in the same district, The Bulls and Grizzlies won both games, so the Thunder could only be ranked fifth.

Let’s talk about the Warriors. After the Warriors’ Saint Beasley got angry and punched Dream Chaser Green before the start of the season, many teams were not optimistic about the future of this young team this season.

The Warriors were the bottom team in the league last season.

This season, three controversial rookies were selected, a controversial free agent was signed, Jamal Crawford, and Barbosa was traded from the Suns for a sixth man, and they want to take off?

This seems a bit difficult.

What's more, before taking off, an internal strife broke out.

However, what people never expected was that for a young team, the most fatal internal strife accident was actually easily solved by this young team.

Beasley, who was originally thought to be a good old sage, has incredible public support in Golden State.

This level of support comes not only from teammates, but also from local fans.

The foundation Beasley showed in Golden State after the internal strife incident is simply incredible.

But after the Golden State Warriors take off now, it's not hard to understand.

As an NBA player, who wouldn't want to have such a perfect leader?

He has a good personality, is simple, doesn't make trouble, and doesn't bully others. If he doesn't want such a good leader, if he replaces him with Green who can tell at a glance that he's doing something B, there's something wrong with his brain, right?

Since Beasley won't quit, they can just take a step back and follow suit and be done with it.

Just like Beasley said, the reason why we are not arrogant is because before you become arrogant, I am tired of being arrogant.

They are all NBA players. Who the hell hasn’t had a fight or smoked a bee? Things like gangsterism don’t come easily. You don’t really think that most NBA players are good kids, do you?

In the end, the development of the Golden State Warriors' internal strife was really beyond everyone's expectations.

In addition to the fact that Green, the chief culprit, is rumored to be ‘whipped’ every day by Matt Barnes and some Warriors players.

Curry and Clay, the two main backers behind Dream Green, are simply cowardly.

,

They directly chose to surrender, and it is rumored that after Curry invited his good buddy Durant out, the rift between Curry and Beasley was not only repaired, but they became like brothers.

"KD's mother is my mother, KD's children are my children, KD's elder, uh, KD's brother, of course he is my brother!"

When they saw Beasley and Curry arm-in-arm in the training hall together, not only were the reporters who wanted to watch the fun deceived, they were also gearing up to try and find out who was behind the two bad guys Curry and Clay. The Warriors players who were always defeated by their backers were themselves deceived.

What kind of expansion is this?

Especially seeing the childlike smile on Curry's face, the Warriors players were even more confused.

Damn you, you are such a coward, you will end up eating it by making a fool of yourself!

To be honest, Curry was also wronged. He and Clay really didn't know when Chasing Dream rebelled.

When Zhui Meng did this kind of thing before, he never told them, but this time he encountered a tough problem.

If you encounter such a tough fight, wouldn't you be afraid of being beaten just like Chasing a Dream?

Before calling KD, when he returned home to Golden State from the team, he was greeted by Warriors fans all the way.

In the end, the internal strife of the Warriors did not turn into a big fight between the Yes department and the University of Washington department, but it became a simple personal rebellion caused by Green's evil intentions.

After the Warriors suppressed Dream Green, they were still the same Warriors who rallied around Beasley last season, and even became stronger with the addition of Curry and Clay.

Especially Curry, a player who was always considered unsuitable for the NBA before entering the league, his performance in these few games during his rookie season was quite incredible.

As a rookie, his three-point shooting percentage actually exceeded 45% right out of the gate. As his teammate at the University of Washington, Klay's performance was not much worse. His three-point shooting percentage was over 40% right out of the gate.

The whole world knows that the Warriors led by Beasley had the worst three-pointer last season. Beasley's mid-range singles really looked a bit invincible, but the team's defense was not good, and the three-pointers were not good. Distance does not quench thirst.

With Curry and Klay, the Warriors really shine this season.

Of course, in addition to these young teams and young players in the new league season.

For example, the Grizzlies, who are mainly veterans, are also quite amazing.

With the start of the regular season, speculation about whether McGrady has died has finally come to an end.

Tracy McGrady took a season off from injuries, which was a blessing in disguise and alleviated some of his previous injuries. His condition is even better than two seasons ago.

He is in excellent physical condition, coupled with his hunger for the game, and his sense of revenge for the Houston Rockets' distrust.

This makes McGrady's performance at the beginning of this season quite incredible.

At the same time, the Grizzlies led by him, Oden, Carter, Gasol and Shane Lowry are also one of only three undefeated teams in the Western Conference.

In the NBA this season, in the frenzy led by the Seattle SuperSonics, many teams and many players took advantage of the momentum and changed the overall situation of the entire NBA.

These teams and these players are all beneficiaries of this overall situation.

Since there are winners, there are also losers.

The Houston Rockets are undoubtedly the biggest losers.

Because he was unwilling to continue to pay the luxury tax and gamble on record, Artest and Ariza were let go for nothing two seasons ago.

During the offseason, because he was unwilling to pay the luxury tax and trusted McGrady, he released McGrady to the Grizzlies for nothing.

Now Artest and Ariza are the backbone of the Lakers.

McGrady has become the Grizzlies' new outside core.

The Lakers and Grizzlies both made a lot of money, but the Rockets could only continue to cry while holding their bleeding and injured arms and legs.

There is no harm without comparison.

After enjoying the prosperity, it is impossible to endure loneliness.

The night that Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics arrived in Texas, Yes received an invitation from Yao Ming and Roy to visit Yao Ming's home.

When he came to Texas in the past, he would party with Yao Ming and Roy.

Even two seasons ago, when the competition between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets was at its fiercest, there would never be such a solemn atmosphere when the three of them got together.

As a good friend, Ye Si certainly knew why the two friends were becoming increasingly emotional.

This season is their last ditch effort with the Houston Rockets.

But this last ditch effort really disappointed Yao Ming and Roy.

It would be an understatement to say that a horse has stumbled.

Lakers, Warriors, Mavericks...

Such a losing streak at the beginning of the season was very disappointing for the two people who wanted to fight for the last time.

At the same time, it also made the two of them realize that the current NBA is really very different from the NBA they knew before.

"Ye, do you think there is still hope for the Rockets now?"

"No."

"..."

Ye Si's answer was very straightforward, so straightforward that even Roy and Yao Ming were speechless.

The Rockets are not weak. They can be a strong team, but it is impossible to compete for the championship.

Roy may be willing to be a strong team for the time being, but Yao Ming...

Having already won the MVP and Olympic championship, who doesn’t want to complete a career Grand Slam?

Yao Ming's ambition no longer supports him and he sinks with the broken ship of the Rockets.

So after hearing Ye Si's answer, although the expressions on Roy's and Yao Ming's faces were both heavy, there was still a difference.

Ye Si could feel that Roy also wanted to save this broken ship.

Just like when he and he worked together to save other teammates and the team, this is Roy's character.

But Yao Ming...

The expression on Brother Yao's face was much more complicated and entangled...

A new generation replaces the old, as the old seems to be replaced.

Yao Ming's current mood is really as uncomfortable as the rain outside.

Roy left with fighting spirit and a bit of stubbornness.

Yao Ming looked at the unstoppable rain outside the window and finally closed his eyes. ''

"Little Ye Zi, Mr. Jerry West of the Golden State Warriors has contacted me. He hopes that I can go to the Warriors."

How could a player like Yao Ming be contacted by only one team when he could opt out of his contract in 2010?

Yao Ming wants a championship, but it is more than just a championship. If it is really just a championship, he can join a team before retiring.

He needs a young stage where he can be the protagonist and realize his dreams.

He is inspecting these young stages in the league. There may not be many people in the world who know the Warriors stage better than him...

"They are a group of very good young people. As an opponent, I don't want you to go to the Warriors."

Hearing what Ye Si said, Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, but he soon smiled.

"Little Leaf thinks very highly of the Warriors."

They deserve all the praise.

but……

"What's wrong with Little Leaf?"

Looking at Ye Si who suddenly stared at him, Yao Ming was a little confused.

"This season, take it easy. If you get injured, you won't have anything."

Seeing the RV that Ye Si was riding in disappearing into the darkness, Yao Ming clenched his fists tightly.

In the car, Ye Si closed his eyes and rested.

Brother Yao's ambition has...

But ambition will not change his innocence.

If necessary, he would also choose to die for the Rockets like Roy.

If necessary, he will also die for the Sonics.

The Sonics are worth it.

However, the Rockets are really not worth it...
