In the twinkling of an eye, it was 6 p.m. on the 25th.
The Rockets bus started from the rocket base and went straight to the Toyota Center.
Wang Fei sat in the car. He sat with Liu Meijuan.
The streets are decorated with lanterns and colors, a festive atmosphere.
The closer to the center of Toyota, the more people and vehicles flow.
It is during the holiday, so the American people are very free. The rare leisure holiday coincided with the opening of the NBA Christmas War in the Toyota Center. Naturally, a large number of people poured in.
In fact, although the United States has a population of more than 200 million, it is still a sparsely populated country.
Even in downtown Houston, it is difficult to see the bustling scene like in the streets of big cities in China.
In fact, in American metropolis, if it is not a prosperous business district, there are basically no pedestrians, and there are only vehicles roaring in the street.
Go to the Toyota Central parking lot and park in the exclusive parking space of the home team.
Rockets players and staff came out of the car in an endless stream.
As soon as he got off the bus, Wang Fei saw a large number of reporters gathered here.
When they saw Wang Fei getting off the bus, they surrounded him.
"Wang, do you think tonight's game is easy to play? Are you confident of winning?"
"Wang, the NBA All-Star voting has begun. You won very few votes in the NBA player voting. You are behind many people whose strength is far inferior to yours. What do you think of this?"
"Wang, Westbrook of the thunder believes that he can limit your score to less than 10 points. He will use tough defense to make you do nothing on the court. Do you think he can do it?"
Reporters took photos and asked questions one after another.
Wang Fei said as he walked, "I firmly believe that we will still win tonight. We will win as easily as usual! I don't think the thunder can bring us any trouble, even though they are a strong team!"
"Westbrook is a very good player. He has a good view of the overall situation on the court and a very tough defense. He has a very fast speed. I admit that! However, he can't defend me! His defense won't have any good effect on me! He's just bragging! In tonight's game, I will still use sharp attack and effective assists to help the Rockets win the game! After all, it's too late It's the festival! I don't want to block up the people in Houston! I hope everyone is happy when watching the game, not depressed after watching the game! "
"As for the All-Star voting, I haven't paid much attention! I believe everyone's eyes! I believe people can make their own choices according to the real strength of a player!"
Wang Fei walked very fast and hardly stopped.
After answering the questions, he has followed his teammates to the home team's dressing room.
"You're cool," Liu Meijuan whispered with a smile.
Wang Fei shrugged and said, "there's no way. If not, the reporters can surround you and don't let you leave. They always have a lot of tricky problems that make you sometimes feel difficult to deal with, which makes people nod."
"Cluck! It turned out that the dressing room of the NBA team is like this. It's my first time to come in. Wang Fei, can I take some photos?" Liu Meijuan asked.
"Of course, it's not a secret," Wang Fei said.
After changing his shirt in the dressing room, Wang Fei and his teammates went to the court to warm up.
Sufficient warm-up can ensure a good play in the game.
Liu Meijuan naturally followed.
When he came to the stadium, Wang Fei found that although it was still early from the start of the game, there were a lot of fans sitting in the stands at the moment.
Seeing the Rockets coming out, these fans began to cheer one after another.
Today, the game between the rockets and the thunder is still broadcast live across the country by ESPN.
On the live broadcast, two commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson and host Mike brin were already seated.
"After this round of 18 consecutive wins, the Rockets have reached the top of the whole league. They are the best team this season. Now, many NBA experts are guessing when the Rockets will lose. Jeff, mark, do you think the Rockets will lose to the thunder tonight?" Mike brin said with a smile.
Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "I don't think the thunder has a chance to win. Because the Rockets are obviously stronger than them."
"Everything depends on the super newcomer in the Rockets. If Wang can still play well in the game, the Rockets will win the game, there is no doubt," Mark Jackson said.
"So, who do you think is better, Wang and Westbrook?" asked Mike brin.
"There is no doubt that Wang is better than Westbrook! Wang is very comprehensive, very comprehensive! Wang is much better than Westbrook in shooting, attacking and organizing points! Wang's defensive ability is also much better than Westbrook! I think Wang will be selected as the best defensive team in the NBA this year!" Jeff van Gundy said without hesitation.
"I agree!" Mark Jackson nodded.
"So you don't think Westbrook poses any threat to Wang?" asked Mike brin.
"Yes! Westbrook is a whole order of magnitude behind Wang. What Westbrook said before the game can only be used as a joke," said Mark Jackson first.
Shaquille O'Neill took his bodyguard and family to the Toyota Center.
When the car stopped in the parking space, Shaquille O'Neill looked at the bustling crowd at the entrance of Toyota Center in the square through the window and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that it should be so busy here."
"Shaquille, this is now one of the hottest home courts in the NBA," said O'Neal's wife ratty HIA with a smile.
"I've heard before. This is my first experience. The Chinese boy looks really magical. Now, almost the whole United States is talking about this guy. Even if you don't want to hear or see, his name and deeds will get into your ears and eyes. It's really annoying!" Shaquille O'Neill said.
"Shaquille, you seem a little jealous of that guy, giggle!" said Ratti shiyajiao with a smile.
"No, no! How can I envy him? A guy who can only throw three-point shots? Such a short man, even if he is a little faster, could not be so important in our era! It can only be said that the NBA has become completely incomprehensible to me now." Shaquille O'Neill said.
Shaquille O'Neal, nicknamed "shark", is one of the most successful centers in NBA history!
In fact, in the previous NBA, the center can be said to be the most important position of a team. Almost all teams play around the center of the team!
In O'Neill's time, O'Neill simply existed like a God.
All teams in the league have nothing to do with O'Neal.
Even if the opponent came up with various ways to defend O'Neill, it didn't work.
Even the shark cutting tactics of killing the enemy 800 and losing 1000 have become a good way to defend O'Neill.
But it's still useless.
O'Neill and Kobe Bryant won a three consecutive championship for the Lakers. At that time, the Lakers were really hot!
"Yes, in the current NBA games, the intensity of competition has greatly decreased, and the viewing is really not as good as before," said Ratti HIA.
"Get out of the car! I want to see with my own eyes how fast this magical Chinese boy is! Anyway, his stealing ability is really too strong. Even LeBron has no way to be robbed by him. It's really interesting," Shaquille O'Neal said.
This Christmas holiday, O'Neill came to Houston for a holiday and wanted to see a game between the rockets and the thunder.
The O'Neill family got out of the car and walked towards the main gate of the stadium.
Soon, people found O'Neill.
Although O'Neill has retired for seven years, his popularity in the United States is still very high.
"Look! Is that Shaquille?"
"God! It's really Shaquille! He came to Houston to watch the Rockets game."
"Wow!"
Many people came and surrounded the Shaquille family.
Shaquille's bodyguards quickly separated the enthusiastic people from Shaquille O'Neill.
Some reporters wandering in the outfield also ran over.
Shaquille O'Neal was very happy.
It's really a pleasure to be the focus after retiring for so long.
Therefore, he met the requirements of several fans to sign a group photo.
He also answered several questions from reporters.
"Shaquille, did you come to watch the Rockets game today? Excuse me, how do you evaluate Wang?" a reporter asked loudly.
Shaquille O'Neill smiled and said: "That boy is really good. Seriously, I admire him very much. I think he runs very fast. He can take part in the 100 meter race. However, I don't like the way he plays basketball. There is almost no confrontation. He uses speed to tear away his opponent and then throws three points! It's meaningless! Such a game makes people feel plain and tasteless!"
This is Shaquille O'Neill's first public comment on Wang Fei.
His comments were really rude.
There is a sense of ridicule in the words.
"Boom!"
The people around burst into a burst of laughter.
"Shaquille, I can't agree with you. Wang is still very confrontational. When he steals against his opponent, no one can stop him." a reporter shouted.
O'Neill shook his head and said, "I agree with you. His steals are really sharp, because he is small and flexible. He is like a mouse. He can't shoot him anyway, which is very frustrating."
O'Neill was very rude.
This made the reporters more excited.
"Shaquille, do you think you can handle Wang when you are in your prime?" a reporter asked.
"He's not an opponent. He can only circle around me like a flea!" O'Neill said.
"Maybe you can have a PK with him now. If there is such an opportunity, are you willing to accept it?" the reporter asked.
"No, no! I won't have a PK with him. It's not that I dare not, but that I'm afraid he will cry when he is bullied by me." O'Neill said and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Shaquille, you're just a big talker! You can only boast now. I think Wang is a hundred times better than you!" came from behind the crowd.
Mo Feng stood behind the crowd. He was very angry.
This Christmas holiday, he and Chai came to Houston from Cleveland. They organized a Chinese fan group. They came here today to cheer Wang Fei on.
Unexpectedly, they met O'Neill in the outer square of Toyota Center.
O'Neill even spoke unkindly to Wang Fei and was very contemptuous.
This makes Maple ink a little unbearable.
