Given that the name of Space City and Space City is already a big deal, Xie Hou himself especially does not like to call Houston by these names.

When he came to Houston and took the taxi prepared by the organizer for him, the driver's words found him a new title: "Arthur, what time have you been to our village?"

This is a slang term. Xie Hou didn't understand it, but he decided to refer to the Chinese people to give Houston a brand new nickname - this place Monkey Tun. Why? As long as we use our talent for hollow ears, we can find that the word Houston is very similar to "Monkey Tun"1.

1 A man surnamed Bai: he took the nickname Arthur and me.

If you think this alias is too unpleasant, then you can call it the energy capital of the world. Although few cities dare to call the world, Houston can.

In terms of quantity, Houston has more than 5,000 energy-related companies, and more than 500 large companies that produce oil and gas and related products will be headquartered here, with a daily crude oil production of more than 2.3 million barrels. These huge amounts of oil and related products are transported to domestic and foreign countries through ports with a large throughput of Houston.

It's really no problem to call it the world's energy capital.

When Xie Hou asked the driver's question, he had the answer.

The Red Team has never played the finals with them. Including this year, he has been to Houston three times in the past three years.

Therefore, he reported the number.

"It seems that our trench impressed you, you actually remember." The driver was a chattering chatter and kept talking from beginning to end.

It is a good thing for drivers to chat. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the airport to the hotel.

This time just enough time for Xie Hou and him to finish talking about what they should talk about. When they were having nothing to chat, they almost arrived at their destination.

Xie Hou's teammates and coach arrived at the hotel one hour before him.

The reason why Xie Hou was late was to blame Xue Wei. If she didn't make a big fuss on Xie Te last time, Xie Hou wouldn't have scored 80 points in the third quarter; if she didn't have scored 80 points in the third quarter, the things that Xue Wei and Xie Hou agreed to make people blush and heart beat would not be achieved; if those things were not done, Xie Hou wouldn't have been late - so she blamed Xue Wei.

It's no big deal to be late for an hour, and Xie Hou didn't regret it. He enjoyed it last night, just as he enjoyed the humid weather in Houston now.

If he wanted to live in this humid city all year round, he would definitely not be able to stand it. Now he comes here with a tourist mentality, and the humid climate has become a local feature.

The advantage of hosting an All-Star weekend in big cities is that you don’t have to worry about the quality of the hotel.

The hotel arranged by Houston was very satisfied with Xie Hou. He came to the front desk and knew what to do without asking for his name. A waiter took Xie Hou to the room, and next door was the room of his teammates and coach.

"If you need it, please feel free to call me." The waiter left this sentence and left quietly.

Xie Hou wanted to lie down at the bed in the hotel room, but suddenly remembered that he had still had many things he hadn't done. He first reported his safety to his family, then called his agent to inform him of the situation, and then went to the next door to go.

Teammates and coaches are there, maybe other Eastern stars are there too.

Xie Hou went to the next door first, and he guessed that this was Granger's room.

Then he guessed wrongly, this was Claire's room. The hotel manager's idea might be like this: Xie Hou and the coach must be closer. That's why they arranged for them to live next door.

Yes, it's quite close, but you don't have to live next door.

Claire usually dressed casually. When he opened the door and saw Xie Hou, he asked each other. He noticed Xie Hou's eyes floating to the side, and knew that he didn't want to enter the room.

Few players are willing to have too deep contact with coaches, which will allow coaches to catch the handle.

"Arthur, I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Xie Hou floated to the next door and his heart was pressed toward Claire's heart, but Claire said something, so he had to enter Claire's room first. When he looked inside, he found that Claire was not resting even on vacation. The documents and materials of each team were stacked one after another, and the table was full of paper and pens.

Xie Hou walked closer and found that it was the playing schedule for the All-Star Game.

Although the Eastern Stars team has a brilliant super giant like Xie Hou, it is still a little dim compared to the Western Stars.

Therefore, Claire has a layered distribution of players' playing time.

Only 3 people have 30 playing time.

They are Sherlock, James and Wade.

Interestingly, these three people entered the NBA in the same year, and only three years have passed since today, but they have all become all-star starters in the Eastern Conference.

"Why can LeBron play 30 minutes?" Xie Hou, who has only had one fight with the Knicks this quarter, still has an old impression of them.

"Just because he is about to help the Knicks return to the playoffs, it is worth paying attention to." Claire smiled. "Arthur, he is very young, and talented players like him have a big change every year."

The game at the beginning of the season did leave a bad impression on Xie Hou.

The Knicks seemed to have made a wrong reinforcement, Marbury and Crawford's three-pointers were better than James, but they were both people who took the ball rights.

This season, the first time the Pacers and the Knicks fought each other, and the embarrassment of everyone getting the ball was revealed.

Xie Hou saw James standing outside in the open space, thinking that the Knicks were over this season.

Now it seems that they are not only endless, but also have the intention of coming from behind.

Xie Hou saw James' data, averaging 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He scored only second only to him, and rebounds and assists are outstanding as a small forward who swings the guard.

"What has changed in New York?" Xie Hou asked.

"LeBron has made great progress, especially the shooting stability at mid- and long distances, although it is not comparable to you yet," Claire said.

Thank you for listening to this sentence.

"But in contrast, LeBron still doesn't have enough offensive methods. His ball-holding skills are very rough compared to you. When attacking, he relies on physical impact. Everyone knows that he only has those moves. With just these moves, he averaged 32 points per game with a shooting percentage of 48%. "Claire said this, and his eyes returned to Xie Hou, "This is why I want him to play for 30 minutes."

"Actually, I have no objection to you giving them a few minutes of playing time."

Xie Hou always said this, and he was talking. Claire just now said that he underestimated Lei Balong, and then found that it was not the case.

"Based on the distribution of playing time you gave, I guess you decide on playing time based on your strength."

"The big question is right."

"Then there's a problem," Xie Hou said. "I, d-wade and lbj are both 30 minutes of playing time. Which of us is stronger?"

"You, no doubt."

"Then why do I have as much playing time as they do?"

Claire was stopped by him, and he didn't expect Xie Hou to care about this: "Arthur, I hope you have more rest."

"Coach, the last thing you should do is ask a young and strong man to rest more." Xie Hou said, "In order to distinguish between me and them, you should give me 33 minutes of playing time!"

Some people's brain circuits are so unique. Claire's original intention is to let Xie Hou take the opportunity to rest more and fight less. Who would have thought that this kid was so petty?

"Thank you for calling me in, otherwise I wouldn't know you have such an arrangement." Xie Hou stood up and said goodbye.

When Xie Hou walked out of the room, Claire picked up the pen and reduced the one-minute appearance time for James, Wade and Iverson, and Xie Hou's appearance time increased to 33 minutes.

What just happened is a very typical "Xie Hou story".

Just like those rumors about Jordan's competitive nature, Xie Hou's arrogance and arrogance can be seen. He does not allow anyone who is inferior to him to go hand in hand. Since he is stronger, he has to be overwhelmed.

His reaction to this matter can be regarded as another form of competitive advantage.

In Claire's eyes, his approach is very arrogant and easily leads to misunderstandings from others. But he doesn't care how others view him, he only cares about the results.

The result was that he bought himself more 3 minutes for his own sake.

Claire's plan has failed. After the All-Star Game, Xie Hou may be the most consumed person in the Eastern Conference star team - but this is what he asked for.

After walking out of Claire's room, Xie Hou visited other places. He accidentally reached the Pistons' room.

The Pistons have four players selected for the All-Stars: two Wallaces, Maskman and Anthony.

Xie Hou had been making trouble for Artest before, and Big Ben and the Mask Man were caught in the attack. Although they had no words, it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed to meet at this moment. The two teams still had a competitive relationship. They have been fighting for several years, and the grudges are endless.

"Are you okay?" Big Ben asked in a rough voice.

Xie Hou didn't feel any friendly. When the words on Xie were typing out with the keyboard, there was no shame when he was typing them out. It was accompanied by a burst of excitement, but at this time he was extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

"I knocked on the wrong door." Xie Hou said, and in order to cover up the embarrassment and end the indescribable conversation, he knocked on the door next to him.

He forgot the law of his teammates living next door. He just left Big Ben's sight and welcomed the Mask Man again.

"What's the matter?" The obvious dissatisfaction in his tone proved that the Pistons were extremely dissatisfied with his behavior of coming to the door without any trouble.
