Yao Ming's "slaughter list" also made him once again a player hotly discussed in the league.

Sports Illustrated calls him an "incredible newcomer" and believes that his appearance will change the NBA scouts' view on "Drafting Little New Year", because no one knows whether there will be a Yao Ming waiting to be excavated in the next Little New Year!

This increases the value of the "Draft Little New Year" signing position.

"Open-Air Stand" said: "In the past, the discussion about the best rookie in the season will also be louder at this time, but there is no discussion in this regard this year. The reason is very simple, because there is no need to discuss this year, it is already Yao Ming's!"

Frances was more excited than anyone: "I have said a long time ago, don't underestimate Yao, he has infinite possibilities!"

"Now, he did it, do you have anything else to say?"

Francis asked loudly, but this time, no one could question Yao Ming... How could he question this?

"Also, I have a news to announce that I decided to participate in the slam dunk contest this year!"

As February comes, the atmosphere about the All-Star weekend suddenly becomes stronger. If it weren't for Yao Ming's "slaughter of the list", then what the media reports now will basically be related to All-Stars.

Francis was also asked about the All-Star Weekend, but what no one expected was that this guy suddenly threw a bombshell!

He is preparing to participate in the 2003 slam dunk contest!

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Because no one expected Francis to participate in the dunk contest again.

"Steve, are you going to participate in the slam dunk contest?"

Yao Ming, who was interviewed next to him, was a little surprised when he heard his words. Like everyone else, he had never heard Francis talk about related topics.

"Yes, Yao, I have a wonderful idea."

Francis started chatting with Yao Ming in front of the reporters. The reporters were not angry, but instead listened with interest.

"Hmm?" Yao Ming raised his eyebrows at him, waiting for Francis to say his wonderful idea.

"You don't want me to say it now, right? Yao, this is what I use to win the championship. Are you sure you want me to say it now? Then I'll say..."

Yao Ming quickly advised: "Then stop talking. If I don't win the championship later, I will become a sinner!"

He said this, and he, Francis and a group of reporters laughed.

However, after the interview was over, Yao Ming asked: "Steve, do you really want to participate in the slam dunk contest?"

"Of course, man, you have to do me a favor!" Francis said his wonderful idea this time, "I'm going to leap and finish your dunk!"

“Omg, isn’t it great?”

"I'm such a genius, this is definitely a 50-point dunk!"

“…”

Yao Ming looked at Francis speechlessly.

He didn't expect that the so-called wonderful idea of ​​the latter was actually this.

"Forget it!" Yao Ming waved his hand to refuse.

He is the face of China, how could he be leapt over the head and suffered "humiliation under the crotch"? Even Francis, he would never agree.

Francis didn't expect Yao Ming to refuse, and looked disbelief: "Hey, man..."

Yao Ming was too lazy to explain to him and said directly: "Your idea is too low. Man, I have two very good ideas. These two ideas will definitely make you win the championship in the slam dunk contest!"

"Is that true?" Francis looked suspicious. He didn't believe that Yao Ming could have any better ideas than him.

However, after Yao Ming finished speaking his thoughts, his suspicion disappeared without a trace. At the same time, he looked at Yao Ming with excitement: "My man, I have to admit that you are a genius, this idea is great!"

"Are you satisfied?" Yao Ming was not surprised by his reaction. As for the two thoughts he mentioned, it was strange that Francis was not excited. They were two creativity that absolutely conformed to the aesthetics of Americans.

I'm just a little sorry for the two guys behind me.

But there is no way, who asked my buddy to reopen it?

Moreover, Yao Ming himself is not able to participate in the slam dunk contest. This idea is cheaper for others. It would be better to let Francis use these two ideas to win the championship of the slam dunk contest.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this way, Francis would not have his ideas on him.

It can be considered as escaping, just say it.

That night, the Rockets welcomed their first opponent in February - the Washington Wizards.

Yao Ming met Michael Jordan again.

However, this time, no one paid attention to the little beefs between him and Michael Jordan. In addition, before this game, Yao Ming had just completed the "slaughter of the list", and most of the reporter's questions about him were related to these lists.

No reporters asked about trouble, and this game was less likely to be smelled of gunpowder.

108 to 97, the Rockets easily defeated the Wizards with 11 points at home and completed a sweep against the Wizards.

But what Yao Ming didn't expect was that after the end of this game, Kwame Brown, the "largest parallel player in history" who is currently the No. 1 pick in the first round of last season, took the initiative to find him: "Yao, I want to know how you adjusted your state when you performed poorly at the beginning of the season?"

Yao Ming looked at Kwame Brown with a sincere look on his face and wanted to give the latter some advice - this guy is indeed quite miserable. At the age of 17, and being selected by Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan as his teammate, the start is simply hell. If he changes the team and grows slowly, with his talent, he might become a first-class player.

But Yao Ming really doesn't know what to teach Kwame Brown. His current state is not something he can adjust.

As for psychological advice, he can't give any professional advice.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Maybe, you can try to be tougher and don't always look unconfident. I think it should be better."

That's all he can say.

Kwame Brown nodded thoughtfully as if he listened to Yao Ming's words.

"Come on, man, you still have a long way to go!" Yao Ming clapped his high-high and encouraged him.

This sentence is true. Kwame Brown finally played in this league for 13 seasons. Although he did not perform too gorgeously later, he became a player who could enter the rotation lineup. Although he was not worthy of the No. 1 pick in terms of strength, he was not the "most sophisticated".

The main reason why he continued to be called the "most popular pick" later was because the person who chose him was Michael Jordan, and his poor performance in the first two seasons was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Kwame Brown didn't care about what Yao Ming said later. In his own opinion, Yao Ming was comforting him. With his current strength, he was afraid that he would have to get out of the league if the rookie contract ended. Where did he get a long way?
