NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team

In addition to the duel between Dayao and Qin Feng.

The Thunder will also face a real test.

You must know that the Rockets are not only an All-Star-level player in Dayao, but also Maddie, a superstar, and new signing - Artest.

For Artest, everyone's deepest impression was the Auburn Palace brawl.

The Auburn Hills Palace gang brawl , which occurred during the 2004 regular season game between the Pacers and Pistons, was the largest, heaviest, and worst mass brawl in NBA history.

The cause of this incident was the hot-tempered Artest.

After that fight, he was also punished by the league with the harshest penalty and banned for 73 games.

But in addition to this fight, Artest is also a very good basketball player as a player.

Not only does he have a tough defense, he has won the honor of the best defensive player of the season, and he has also been named to the best defensive team 4 times, and he is a true defensive titan!

At the same time, he also has a full-fledged attack.

It can be said that it is balanced offense and defense!

This season, the Rockets traded Artest the "Beast" from the Kings at a huge cost, forming a Big Three with Yao Ming and Maddie, just to attack the championship.

This lineup is full of deterrence.

Dayao is good at attack and defense, sitting in the box, and is not afraid of the inside of any team in the NBA.

Maddie, as the league's top small forward, has the role of a charger, and can dominate the game with unreasonable offense in key moments.

Artest, as an outside defensive spearhead, is the best candidate to limit the opponent's aces!

Coupled with a number of strong role players such as Battier, Scola and Alstom, all Rockets fans are full of unlimited expectations for the team.

And for Huaxia fans, this season may be the year when Dayao hopes to hit the NBA championship!

In the new season team rankings, the Rockets ranked 5th, and the top four in the Rockets are the four powerful teams of the Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic!

The Thunder team, which is in the reconstruction period, meets the rocket team when it is strong, and there are few fierce and bad luck!

So the biggest focus of this game is not who loses and who wins, but what kind of wonderful performance the Thunder can play against the Rockets.

For the Rockets, facing weaker opponents, they can have a richer lineup and accelerate the team's running-in.

.......

In the eyes of all the attention, the day of the competition has arrived as scheduled.

As early as two hours before the game, enthusiastic Houston fans filled the entire Toyota Center Arena.

It can be seen from the support materials and jerseys worn by the fans that Dayao has a high popularity and status here.

As one of the core of the Rockets, as the Rockets' greatest center after Olajuwon, Dayao has become a symbol of Houston in some ways and a favorite star in the hearts of fans.

Qin Feng, who followed the Thunder team into the arena, was also excited and full of admiration for Dayao.

It really takes a lot of effort to be recognized by a city.

From entering the NBA as a top pick in 2002 to now, Dayao has stepped step by step and reached the peak of his career!

After entering the arena.

Qin Feng was pulled to participate in the team's pre-match interview.

Present at the interview were coaches Calesimo, Durant and Qin Feng.

"Qin! Soon you will be competing with Yao, who is also from Huaxia, what are your emotions now? The

reporters turned their microphones at Qin Feng.

In their opinion, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the only gimmick that can be reported is the duel between the two Hua Xiacai.

"It's complicated."

"We were teammates of the national team two months ago, but now we are each in charge and fighting for different teams!"

"It's a really amazing feeling."

Qin Feng said, also a little embarrassed.

"Before the media released news, the headline was "When will Huaxia rookie Qin Feng get a score of 50+?" Are you going to try to hit 50 points in this game? The

reporter asked again.

"Oh! Man, I can't answer that question, I don't know what I'm going to do in the game, all I can do is try to help the team win!

"But I must say, the Rockets have this qualification to get me 50 points!"

Qin Feng said, fully expressing his respect for Team Rocket.

"The Rockets traded Artest for the new season and formed a Big Three roster, and this is the first time in your NBA career that you've faced a strong opponent, are you under pressure?"

"Pressure? Inexistent! Only I create pressure on others, and no one can create pressure for me yet!

Qin Feng shrugged and said, very confident.

Hearing this, the reporters were stunned.

Boy.

Even against the powerful Rockets, they are as sharp as ever!

In addition to shock, some reporters also had disdainful looks on their faces.

45 points against the Bucks and floating?

The Rockets and Bucks are not a level team.

Last season, the Bucks were just the second-to-last team in the East, while the Rockets were a playoff powerhouse.

The Rockets brought in Artest this season, and they have grown in strength and are considered championship favorites.

If you play well against the Bucks, then it may not be against the Rockets.

Many reporters couldn't wait for the game to start quickly, wanting to see how Qin Feng was punched in the face.

Everyone no longer interviewed Qin Feng, but turned the microphone to Durant and Calesimo...

.....

Another interview room.

The Rockets' Big Three are also speaking to reporters.

"Yao! Do you think it was by chance that Qin Feng scored 45 points on his career debut? The

reporters' eyes all fell on Dayao.

“No！ I think this is strength!

"I participated in the Olympics with Qin Feng as teammates on the Huaxia national team, and I am very clear about Qin Feng's strength!" He has an unmatched offensive ability and can play a lot of magic in the game.

Yao Ming said seriously, his expression was also a little solemn.

He knew the upcoming game was an absolute battle.

Qin Feng would never easily surrender the victory of the competition.

The reporters listened carefully to Dayao's words.

Artest showed a mocking smile, and seemed to be a little disdainful of Dayao's answer.

"Artest, do you have a different opinion on the question just now?"

Seeing this, the reporter looked over excitedly, looking like it was not too big to see the excitement.

"Of course! Yao is exaggerating a little, but I can understand Dayao, after all, they are all from Huaxia, and commercial praise is still necessary.

"First of all, I want to admit that Qin Feng has strong offensive ability, after all, not all players can score 45 points in the NBA."

"But!"

The corners of Artest's mouth raised slightly.

The reporters' eyes were round, and their expressions were even more serious.

They knew Artest's next words were the point!
