The NBA preseason has come to an end, and Chinese fans may be the biggest winners.

It's the China Game in Shanghai again, and it's the showdown between Wayne and Yao Ming.

Seeing so many Chinese elements at one time, fans simply couldn't get enough of it.

Of course, Nike now feels that its 28 million was well spent.

As far as the NBA's influence in China is concerned, luckily they got Wayne!

Nike can justifiably say: "We have actually taken a fancy to Wayne's potential for a long time!"

What? Being fooled by Wayne's agent? No, no, there is no such thing.

However, no matter how exciting the preseason is, it is just the appetizer.

On November 2, the NBA regular season opener is about to begin. Only then will the real excitement come.

Yes, this year's regular season only begins in November. But that's not the point. The point is that both the Houston Red Team and the Pacers have been scheduled by the league to appear in the opening game.

There is no mysterious Eastern power here, but the power of David's crazy money-making.

David. No one knows what the fans want to see better than me. Stern, letting two Chinese players, Yao Ming and Wayne, play on the first day of the opening game, can be said to have taken commercialization to the extreme.

On the red team's side, the MM team will face the defending champion Detroit Pistons in their first show.

As for the Pacers, it was an explosive showdown. On the opening day, their opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers with "Little Emperor" James!

Although the Cavaliers were not a playoff team last season, they did not make any important signings this summer.

But don't worry about the Cavaliers' record. James is a gold medal in his own right.

Just like some BMW models, it doesn't matter whether the car is good or not, it's enough to have the logo.

James is the "standard" of the Cavaliers. No matter how bad the team is, with his games, no one will watch.

Now, in the semi-finals, MOP faced the Chosen One, Yao Ming faced the defending champion, and Chinese fans called Stern an expert.

Moreover, Stern was very stupid and deliberately staggered the time of the two games.

In this way, Chinese fans don’t have to worry about which game to watch.

Only children make choices, Stern wants you to see them all!

After Wayne got the schedule, he really didn't expect that he would have to meet Mousse so soon.

But strictly speaking, he and James are not matched up.

The one who really got excited was Gangtai.

Of course this guy wouldn't miss the opportunity to fuck the chosen one.

After spending time together, Wayne discovered that Artest, a man with an iron elbow, had a special characteristic.

That is, no matter who he is playing against, he will always have a deep hatred for the opponent!

That's right, hatred, the kind of hatred that wants to kill you.

Under normal circumstances, a player will only bring this kind of emotion when he meets his mortal enemy, such as the future great centers in the league, C Duo and Pao'er.

But Artest is different. He can really treat everyone as his mortal enemy and hate everyone.

This is indeed abnormal, so Artest receives weekly psychological counseling from the Pacers' psychologist, and he is prescribed medication from time to time - although he never takes it.

What can be concluded is that Artest's irritability is not only due to his personality, but also because he has some psychological problems.

Growing up in Queensbridge, violence was as common as daily life. His parents fought in front of him every day...

I have been facing stress and trauma since I was a child, and the common symptoms are anxiety and depression.

No wonder he gets so angry every time he plays.

This is probably one of the reasons why Artest does not have a good relationship with other people, because no one wants to come into contact with this sick "freak", and over time Artest does not like to come into contact with most people.

Of course, Wayne is the exception.

It's probably because Wayne never thought of him as a freak.

Or is it that Wayne's skin color is actually regarded as a freak by most people in the NBA?

"Wei, how's it going with you and that tennis girl?" After today's training, when Artest was changing clothes and preparing to go back, he started chatting with Wayne.

"Tennis girl? You mean Sharapova?"

"Well, that should be the name."

"How about what? I don't even know her." Wayne shrugged, but he still kept the lucky tennis ball because he found that it was signed by Sharapova.

Well, keep it at home as a decoration and pretend to be a big collector.

The main reason is...Wayne's house is really empty. A single man lives on two floors and there is literally nothing to store.

"Boring man, you really didn't ask for her phone number. How old are you, and you don't have a girlfriend in China?"

"...No, I'm still young, so why worry."

"Young? Well, okay. Anyway, my first son was born when I was 18."

Wayne: "???"

"Hahahaha, his second son is already five years old." Jackson, who was joining in the fun, saw Wayne's confused face and added another sentence.

"When did you get married?" Wayne was really confused. He had never heard of Artest mentioning his wife.

"Last year, what happened?"

"I got married last year and my second son is already five years old? Okay, I can't compare to you. I haven't had a girlfriend yet." Wayne resigned himself to being inferior. Don't compare yourself to Lao Hei when it comes to getting married and having children.

"So, I think that big girl is suitable for you. She is very tall, she should be 190 centimeters, right? Didn't you say that you have filmed an advertisement together? Ask your agent and you will have her number."

As soon as they heard Artest and Wayne talking about their girlfriends, many people gathered around and stared at Wayne.

They all seem to be very interested in the affairs of Chinese players' girlfriends.

When Yao Ming first joined the red team, the players also asked who his girlfriend was.

Maybe in the eyes of Americans, Chinese people are relatively reserved, shy and conservative, so they are very curious about the love between Chinese people.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wayne shook his head. You are really direct and rude. You all want to ask your agent for a girl's phone number...

Is this what your agent is using for you?

Besides, the NBA’s lofty ideals have just begun. How can we be trapped by the love between children?

Everyone burst out laughing when they saw Wayne being teased speechless by Artest.

Old Miller also laughed, but it was obvious that he was not interested in this kind of vulgar joke between young people.

He smiled because he found that the team's chemistry and locker room atmosphere were improving unknowingly.

This is a positive sign.

After returning home in the evening, Wayne planned to rest early today and gather enough energy to play the opening game in Cleveland.

But before that, he had one more thing to do today.

Wayne made an appointment with his press officer to meet tonight, mainly to arrange the following personal interview time.

After dinner, while waiting for the press officer, Wayne looked at the recent NBA news and found some trade rumors about the Pacers.

In Wayne's impression, the Pacers should not make any big moves this year.

But I can't say for sure now, because Bird has not been fired yet.

In the original history, Bird was fired from his position as president of basketball affairs by the Pacers this season due to some controversial remarks, and the team continued to be controlled by Walsh.

But maybe because of Wayne, the butterfly effect caused something to change.

In short, Bird has not caused any trouble so far, and he is still the president of basketball affairs of the Pacers.

Since he is in charge, the team's recruitment plan will definitely not be exactly the same as the original history.

Maybe, someone else will come.

While Wayne was thinking, someone rang the doorbell of Wayne's house.

She is coming.

After opening the door, sure enough, Aunt Jenny was already standing at the door holding a briefcase.

Regarding Aunt Jenny, Wayne felt familiar the first time he met her.

After thinking about it more carefully, I realized that she was somewhat similar to Aunt May in the Dutch version of Spider-Man that I watched in my previous life.

"Good evening, Aunt Jenny."

Wayne said hello, but as soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the originally smiling female press officer suddenly turned very scary, and she pursed her red lips helplessly.

"Now I know why you don't have a girlfriend, Wei."

"Well......"

"I'm not that old, why do you have to add aunt in front of my name?" Jenny said, walking into Wayne's house, as if trying to control her emotions.

I guess if Wayne hadn't been her boss, she would have taken off her high heels and used them as Viking battle axes.
