Chapter 124 Recuperate at ease, man
The fans at the scene were very dissatisfied with the result, but this result had already happened. No matter how unsatisfied they were, they could only accept it, and the booing gradually became smaller.
"Yao, you might be going to win the All-Star MVP!" Francis leaned towards Yao Ming and shouted excitedly at him.
Yao Ming was stunned. He really didn't know how many points he scored in this game. He only knew that he had hit 7 three-pointers in a row. This was what he heard when the fans in the audience helped him remember.
When he heard that he was going to win the All-Star MVP, he immediately took a look at his data: 37 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and the score was the highest in the entire West.
Kevin Garnett scored 36 points.
This guy who should have been MVP in this All-Star Game is one point less than Yao Ming, and unfortunately missed the trophy for this All-Star Game.
But he seemed quite grateful to see his appearance. Obviously, the boo he just knew that this All-Star MVP was hot!
He was glad that he didn't win this MVP. Yao Ming was quite calm in the face of this somewhat "accidental" All-Star MVP award.
Although he was holding this All-Star MVP trophy in the boo...
After the game, a large group of reporters raised trouble: "Yao, do you know that as long as Michael fails to make the final attack, you can win the All-Star MVP trophy, and you will be so active in making up for defense?"
Yao Ming replied: "Basketball competitions, sports competitions, there is always someone who wants to win. Why can't that person be me?"
This sentence made the faces of these reporters who were provoking trouble slightly change, and then no one could continue provoking trouble, because Yao Ming was right, why couldn't the winner be him?
Kobe soon learned Yao Ming's answer. His expression lit up and he was faintly excited: "What does this guy really say?"
Yao Ming's words meant to be in his heart!
He always thought so!
There is always someone who wants to win, why can't it be me!
At this moment, Kobe felt that he had found his soul mate.
Of course, this is his idea, Yao Ming didn't know. If Yao Ming knew that Kobe thought so, he would be laughing, because this was what Kobe said in an interview, but that was what he had happened 10 years later.
Yao Ming did not use this sentence on purpose. He just subconsciously responded to the reporters' provocations with this sentence. After saying it, he realized that Kobe later said this sentence.
However, in this way, this sentence will probably become his famous saying in the future.
Fortunately, Kobe has many famous quotes, so Yao Ming would not feel embarrassed about it.
This sentence has a good effect. When the media reported Yao Ming's interview, more than half of the fans who were originally dissatisfied with Yao Ming were instantly missing.
There is no way, you can never blame a professional player for his competitive spirit! Because this is a necessary quality for a professional player to become a great player!
Yao Ming went back to Houston with an All-Star MVP trophy with Frances.
The Houston media were naturally very happy about Yao Ming winning such an All-Star MVP trophy. Although this award has the lowest value among all MVP awards, it is at least an MVP trophy! Moreover, in NBA history, there are not many players who won the All-Star MVP trophy as a rookie, only Chamberlain, Baylor and three big "0". Even the "old rogue" Michael Jordan has not achieved this achievement, so it can be said that it can be more or less!
Therefore, in the past two days, Houston newspapers and news channels, there are a lot of news about Yao Ming.
However, in terms of popularity, even if Yao Ming won the All-Star MVP, it was not the most popular in Houston. With the two creative dunks of "Spider-Man" and Feiyue Auto, Francis suddenly became the hottest star in Houston. "Burger King" directly signed an endorsement contract with him, and there were more than a dozen other products from all sizes, all of whom asked him to be spokespersons. In less than two days, Francis earned almost 20 million in endorsement fees.
Although he didn't expect to bring Yao Ming with him every time he endorsed this time, this was indeed unrealistic, but he specially customized a Ferrari worth 2 million for Yao Ming.
Yao Ming did not refuse.
He had nothing to refuse. Francis was originally popular with his creativity.
What can’t be collected if you have a 2 million reward?
He also specially got a license plate number - yy-11.
There is no need to say more about what the license plate number means, and there is no need to say more about who you give it to.
There is no way, his height really cannot drive a Ferrari.
However, this happened later. When Yao Ming returned to Houston, he first learned about Tom's condition. When he learned that the latter had a problem with the bladder system, he completely relaxed because Tom had this problem in his previous life. Now the hidden danger has been found in advance, and he can cure the disease before it becomes more serious.
Of course, it takes some time to cure it. Tom needs to take two months off for peace of mind to recuperate. This is the result of his discussion with Dawson. He first takes two months off for peace of mind to recuperate. If it is cured, he will come back directly. If it is not cured, he will continue to recuperate.
While Tom was recuperating, Thibodeau served as the "acting head coach"!
In fact, Tom means that he resigns directly and lets Thibodeau take over as head coach directly, so that the entire Rockets can prepare for the playoffs with peace of mind. After all, it is already mid-to-late February, and there are still two months left. The playoffs are coming, and it is not good for the head coach to change them all the time.
But Dawson refused.
Of course, Yao Ming knew the reason. If Thibodeau renewed his contract as the head coach, it would be another price, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. For this stingy guy, he naturally didn't want Tom to resign.
When Yao Ming arrived at the stadium, Tom happened to hand over the work with Thibodeau. The latter smiled and said to Yao Ming: "My man, I hope you will cooperate more in the next days."
"Don't worry, no problem!" Yao Ming nodded. He did not refute the result. Thibodeau was just an "acting head coach". It was really better for him. The "acting head coach" was not so tough. This guy's style would definitely not be like he did when he was the head coach of the Bulls later, so he was not afraid that he would be used to death.
In addition, Tom may come back at any time, and Thibodeau probably won't change any of the offense and defense ends, so he can still stick to his current style of play.
He really wasn't worried at all.
