The Almighty King of Sports

At 6 o'clock that night, Wang Fei followed the Rockets to the Toyota Center.

The game started at 7:30 in the evening, so when the Rockets bus came to the Toyota Central Plaza, there was no one here.

The team entered the Toyota Center from the player channel and came to the home team's locker room.

"Wang, from now on, this cabinet will be yours." Fisher Tiger took Wang Fei to a cabinet and said.

Taking the key from the cabinet from Tiger, Wang Fei was very excited.

From this moment on, has he really become a member of the Rockets?

"Mr. Tiger, why didn't I see Zhou Qi?" Wang Fei asked.

"Zhou went to play in the Development League, the team has not yet a suitable position for him." Tiger said.

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Wang Fei nodded.

Before Wang Fei came to the Rockets, he thought he could see Zhou Qi for the first time.

In a foreign country, if you can see your compatriots and communicate with each other, you won’t be too lonely, right?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi has been marginalized to this point in the Rockets now?

This is really a pity.

But think about it, although the Rockets currently have a poor record, they are not short of people on the front line. Whether it is Clint Capela or Kenya Farid, they are more capable than Zhou Qi.

"Wang, now you are here, I think, this is not good news for Zhou Qi either." Tiger said with a meaningful look at Wang Fei.

"Um? Why?" Wang Fei blinked in confusion.

"Because, with Zhou Qi's ability, he is really hardly competitive in this rocket. The Rockets sign Zhou Qi in the market of China. Now, you are here. If you play well enough, then , Zhou has no meaning to stay with the Rockets." Fisher Tiger said.

Reality, is it so cruel?

Wang Fei shook his head.

"This is the NBA. It's cruel. The Rockets signed Zhou Qi not for his ability, but for the hope that he can bring the Rockets' attention from China. If he doesn't even have this role, then this ball There is no need for the team to keep him. Wang, don't you think?" Fisher Tiger said.

"In fact, Zhou Qi is also a young player with great potential. He is talented and very young. What he lacks is some training opportunities." Wang Fei couldn't help but say some good things to Zhou Qi.

"However, there are too many young players like him. There are many young people who lose the draft, and they are better than him. When Zhou Qi first came to the Rockets, we also gave him some opportunities. Unfortunately, he The performance did not meet the team's expectations." Fisher Tiger said.

"Well, I understand. I thought I could play with him." Wang Fei smiled and shook his head.

"Maybe there will be a chance. For example, you can quickly play gorgeous data to help the team achieve good results, or you can also help him. In order to attract attention from China, the team may give you the same The opportunity of a game. Wang, remember that the NBA is a business league, and everything about it can only be developed around commercial interests." Fisher said.

After talking to Fisher Tiger for a while, Wang Fei's heart was so heavy.

At 6:40 in the evening, the team began to warm up.

Although Wang Fei did not enter the activation list and did not have the opportunity to play in rotation, he also followed his teammates to the arena.

The Toyota Center is very large.

Its grandstand can hold nearly 20,000 people.

When the home team players came out to warm up, there were already a lot of fans sitting sparsely in the stands.

It is said that the Rockets' ball market is not very good, and the attendance rate has not been very high.

Even in recent years, a Harden who scored super fiercely has not been able to get much attendance.

Wang Fei followed his teammates to warm up.

In fact, it is more of him doing a little auxiliary work for those teammates who are about to play.

After 20 minutes of warming up like this, Harden came to Wang Fei's side.

"Wang, how do you feel?" Harden asked.

"Very good. The atmosphere is very warm. This is the first time I have come to the NBA game." Wang Fei said.

"What I want to tell you is that warm-up work is very important. If the warm-up is not sufficient, then after the start of the official game, because the body is not fully active, it is easy to be injured when doing fierce confrontational moves." Harden said .

Of course, Wang Fei also knew about this problem.

He didn't expect that Harden would specifically come to remind himself.

"Thank you." Wang Fei hurriedly thanked him.

"Also, if you want to maintain a good competitive state, you need to persevere in training. You should insist on doing two hours of training every day." Harden said.

"I will, thanks for the reminder." Wang Fei thanked again.

Harden nodded, then walked away.

The warm-up training progressed to more than 7 o'clock, and then the home and away teams returned to their respective locker rooms.

In the locker room, coach D'Antoni once again cheered up the players.

"Let go of the fight, I believe in your abilities! Children, the Nuggets are not a strong team, they don't even have an arrow figure, so don't be afraid of them. This is our home court, with thousands of fans supporting us. , We must not lose face! We must win the game! In addition, today, ESPN will broadcast the game to the United States. This is when we show our faces! Let the boy Jeff see, although we made some lineup adjustments before this season , But we are still a strong team!" Mike D'Antoni shouted loudly.

His voice was full of passion.

The Jeff in D'Antoni's mouth is Jeff Van Gundy.

That is little Van Gundy.

He is now the narrator for ESPN.

However, his other identity may be known to all Huaxia fans, and that is: Jeff Van Gundy used to be the head coach of the Rockets before!

He can be regarded as Yao Ming's teacher.

Jeff Van Gundy had previously expressed opinions on some team adjustments of the Rockets and made some criticisms.

So, this was remembered by Mike D'Antoni.

After finishing the pre-war mobilization, Jeff Van Gundy waved, and the team began to walk out of the locker room to the stadium.

The game is about to start.

Wang Fei came to the bench for the Rockets.

He sits at the back of the bench, sitting at the end of the bench with Gary Clark and others.

"Man, you will be responsible for distributing towels to the players later." A staff member ran up to Wang Fei and said to Wang Fei.

"Okay, okay." Wang Fei fully agreed.

Gary Clark and another rookie Vincent Edwards are responsible for distributing drinking water to the players who play games.

Now Wang Fei really understands what the so-called water fountain player means.

In fact, these people just can't play the game, and they can only play the sidelines of the team beside the stadium.

This game is broadcast live across the United States.

ESPN's live broadcast seat is directly in front of the court, not far from the benches of the players on both sides.

At this moment, ESPN's NBA host Mike Brin and commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson are already sitting in the commentary.

The game has not yet started.

These people are still talking gossip.

"Jeff, what do you think of Wang Fei's new player? The Rockets seem to attach great importance to him. Do you think he can play in the Rockets?" The host Mike Brin looked at Jeff Van Gundy and said.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "I think Wang Fei can help the Rockets in a short time. He is a very capable little player."

"No, no! I don't think so." Mark Jackson on the other side of Mike Brin immediately shook his head and said.

"Mark, then, tell me your opinion, okay?" Brin smiled and turned to look at Mark Jackson.
