Chapter Thirteen: Tangled Cato and Excited Tom
"Bang!"
With a loud bang.
The whole world seems to be quiet!
All the people watching this game are now focused on the basket: Rockets No. 11, who is strongly hanging the frame, and Mavericks No. 4, who is knocked away!!!
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and incredibility.
In the next second, these shocks and incredibles were released like a dam leak.
The cheers from the audience overturned the entire stadium ceiling.
The Rockets' bench was standing up, waving towels, throwing paper cups, and hugging each other. They used their bodies and their shouts to express their excitement and excitement when they saw the scene in front of them.
The commentator on the scene was shouting: "Now, Michael Finley should know that Yao is not something he can provoke!"
In TNT's studio, Kenny Smith stood up directly: "OMG, a brutal goal, I think, this will be the first scene that Michael Finley was mentioned after years of retirement!"
"Of course, I have to remind someone that this is Yao's 19th point in this game, a wonderful goal!"
When he said "19th point", Buckley, who was already ashamed next to him, shook his body involuntarily, and suddenly he felt dark in front of him.
Channel tv5, several middle-aged uncles were so excited that they lost their image, especially the mature Xu Jicheng, who even waved them fiercely.
I don’t know when the buttons of the suit I untied showed a slightly bulging belly. My youth has passed away, but a man is a teenager until his death...
Beautiful buckle!
Now Yao Yao will definitely leave a deep impression on American fans!
He is the reporter who has sent to America the most frequently. He knows very well how fierce the US media and fans are in doubt about Yao Ming!
But now, although this button will not let the doubts disappear, it should be enough to make the situation worse. At least from today on, they will know that this year's No. 1 pick Yao Neng dunks the former All-Star player Michael Finley!
Michael Finley, who was detained, staggered to the ground. After a long time, everyone was still confused. Until Nowitzki and Steve Nash pulled him up with sympathetic eyes, he didn't know what was going on.
Or he refused to know what was going on!
At that time, Yao Ming was pressing towards him like a mountain. With the suffocation alone, he already knew how embarrassing he was!
Yao Ming snatched Michael Finley away and shouted loudly. He walked straight towards Michael Finley. He knew that at this time, it was just a trash talk from Michael Finley to completely collapse!
He wants to give a fatal sentence.
If shrimps are not pork-hearted, what is the difference between cooking without salt?
"Damn it, you're so awesome!"
"Man, it's a good job!"
But before he could run to Michael Finley, Francis and Mobri hugged him as soon as he landed, clamping him back and forth. When he was "left and left and right", Michael Finley had been pulled up by his teammates, and Yao Ming also lost the opportunity to be a shrimp and pig heart.
What a pity...
However, despite not having a shrimp and pig heart, Michael Finley's sluggishness is visible to the naked eye. As Nowitzki missed his next shot, the Mavericks also lost their resistance. 109 to 105, the Rockets narrowly defeated the Mavericks with 4 points at their home court, breaking the latter's "unbeaten golden body".
Of course, winning the Mavericks is not the most important thing!
Yao Ming dunked Michael Finlin's ball is undoubtedly more important than the victory of this game!
If you are asked to provoke Yao, do you still have the face to provoke now?
he~tui!
"Yao!"
"Yao!"
"Yao!"
The audience at the scene was cheering again just like last night.
Amid the cheers at the scene, Michael Finley left dejectedly.
Seeing him leave, Nowitzki's good-looking guy attacked and ran over to explain to Yao Ming: "Man, that guy is like this. He admires Michael Jordan very much, so you are not malicious to you."
Yao Ming smiled and replied: "Well, it's okay, it's over."
After winning the game and dunking Michael Finley, Yao Ming must have gone there.
As for whether Michael Finley can pass, he doesn't know, and he doesn't care.
Nowitzki probably didn't expect Yao Ming to be so easy to speak. Some of the things he prepared were swallowed back to his mouth. After a few seconds, he spoke again: "My man, you're playing well. You will become more and more outstanding in this alliance!"
As he said that, he made a gesture of embracing Yao Ming.
Yao Ming did not refuse: "Thank you, man, look forward to meeting next time."
"Okay, everyone who watched this commentary, the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks is almost over. In the end, the Rockets were at home and defeated the Mavericks, who had not lost so far in the new season, defending their home court. Steve Francis performed well and scored 23 points, 7 assists and 2 steals, and Cartino Mobri scored 20 points, 5 rebounds... Then there was our No. 1 pick in China, who scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in this game..."
"OK, OK, I know what you're going to say, Kenny, listen, I'll fulfill my promise, OK?"
Kenny Smith changed his normalcy to talk about the Rockets' data, but before he could finish his words, Buckley next to him interrupted him impatiently, knowing what this guy really wants to say: "You better wash your butt, I don't want to kiss a piece of sour yogurt, damn guy!"
"Okay, sir, I will make some arrangements, you won't be dissatisfied!" Kenny Smith smiled and listened to Barkley's words, nodded repeatedly, and agreed.
As Barkley said, the reason why he said so much was nothing more than fear of Barkley cheating.
Then the TNT live broadcast ended, and the moment the camera was turned off, Barkley complained to Kenny Smith: "Hey, man, this is not a good thing for you, right? You need to show your butt, why are you so anxious?"
But Kenny Smith didn't say much to him, and said "See you tomorrow" and left directly.
Could it be that this guy really wants me to kiss his ass?
Barkley looked at Kenny Smith's back as he walked away, and the thought that had come out again.
"I think from now on, no one dares to provoke Yao any more. He is not a guy who can bully anyone. He can become the top scorer and has talent, but some people can challenge him themselves!"
After the game, Francis continued to complain about Michael Finley.
He knew that Yao Ming would definitely not mention Michael Finley again.
This little brother is so nice.
Francis still knows Yao Ming quite well. Yao Ming did not mention Michael Finley in an interview after the game. Although the reasons are different from those Francis think - if there were no such dunk, he might have been stinky and said a few words to the latter, but now, there is no need.
When facing the interview, he mentioned more about Kevin Cato: "This guy has a strong fighting spirit. He is a guy with a tough style. Even when facing a scorer like Dirk Nowitzki, he has a way to make his opponent uncomfortable. It is very easy to play with him!"
"Taughter" Katoing...
In fact, Kevin Cato's effect against Dirk Nowitzki today is not good, especially when the latter holds the ball from the outside, the effect is even more messy, otherwise Tom would not have thought of "demolizing the east wall and repairing the west wall".
But is this important?
This doesn't matter.
Yao Ming just found an angle to praise Kevin Cato, and what he really wanted to say was the last sentence - "It is very easy to play with him."
This sentence was said to Kevin Cato and showed his attitude.
It's also for the Rockets management to listen to.
He has to let the Rockets management know that he admires Kevin Cato very much, so as not to trade Kevin Cato again like in his previous life.
Another reporter asked Yao Ming about Barkley's commitment.
Yao Ming smiled and said, "I am looking forward to the arrival of that moment. I think it must be very interesting!"
"Is that so? Did he really say it's easy to partner with me?"
Soon Kevin Cato learned about Yao Ming’s praises to him from the reporter, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged into his heart.
He can't say what it feels like, it's very complicated.
After this game, he knew very well that Yao Ming was capable. This guy became the starting center and was probably put on the agenda by Tom. Now there is only a matter of time left.
Originally, Kevin Cato was planning to make a deal when Tom announced that he would change to power forward or to change to substitute center.
Now that Yao Ming praises this, why are he making trouble?
He is not as strong as Yao Ming and has a greater temper than Yao Ming. If this image is spread, I am afraid that it will not be reused in the new team, right?
Although this year is not Kevin Cato's contract year, it will be over in one year. He is already 28 years old this year. For a blue-collar insider like him who relies on his body, the age of 28 is very sensitive. As his physical function begins to decline from the peak, he may disappear from this alliance if he is not careful. Therefore, before getting a new contract, it is probably his last many years of contract. "Staying steady and not storming" is his best choice.
But this means that he has to bow his head to the rookie Yao Ming...
After entering the league in 1997 and becoming a millionaire, Kevin Cato has not suffered from insomnia for a long time, but he knew that he was afraid he would not sleep well tonight.
And it’s because of the rookie Yao Ming!
However, he is not the only person who has had emotional fluctuations tonight because of Yao Ming.
After accepting an interview with reporters at the press conference, head coach Tom could still see his excitement on his face, and he excitedly headed towards the general manager's office.
Fengfeng opened the door in a hurry. General Manager Dawson was grinding coffee by himself. When he saw him coming, he was not surprised at all: "Man, I made a cup for you, and I knew you would definitely come to me today!"
"Then you should know why I came to you?"
"I'm already in contact, but man, you should know that the transaction cannot be negotiated in one go, especially if I don't have too many chips in my hand." Dawson signaled the documents on the table, "You can look at the list."
Tom was surprised to see one of the names: "Dickenbe? Are you sure the 76ers will let this guy go?"
"The conflict between Allen Iverson and Larry Brown is almost on the table. Judging from the information I have obtained, he will leave the 76ers at the end of this season. He leaves. The current lineup of the 76ers will naturally change. It just so happens that Deakinbe also has the intention to leave. I am in contact with Deakinbe's agent, and he is the most progress I have ever talked about." Dawson grinded coffee and told his current progress.
When Tom heard that Mutombo was really good, his face became more and more satisfied. As the head coach, of course, he hoped that the more cards he could play, the better. Although Mutombo had already lost his final peak at the 76ers, if he was just a substitute center, then he was still a very good choice.
Chapter completed!
