The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 230: New China Derby, best rookie and top pick

   The weather in New Jersey has been pretty good recently.

   After last season's strong defeat to the Finals, the Nets have clearly had a higher goal this season.

   Started the game to win two consecutive victories, everything is on the right track.

   Recently, in order to quickly restore all players to the best state in the Devil schedule, Byron Scott practiced for eight hours every day!

  Not to mention training, even swiping a cell phone or playing a game, it has been very tired for eight consecutive hours, not to mention that it lasted for about a full month.

   Fortunately, it's almost a month since Scott said the devil's training camp for a month.

  On the second day after the game with the Washington Wizards, Scott led the players in mountain climbing training.

  ......

  Since the recent training was too bitter and boring, Scott remembered to use mountain climbing instead of the training of the day.

  Mountain climbing can not only exercise the body, but also cultivate the sentiments of the players.

   As an outdoor sport, the beneficial factors for climbing are many aspects.

   It is both aerobic exercise and strength training, and the amount of exercise and exercise intensity can be adjusted according to their physical strength and physical fitness.

   If you are looking for a sport outside the stadium, then there is a training method that has a comprehensive fitness training effect and is relatively less dangerous than climbing a mountain.

  ......

  Thanks to the team's devil training, in the process of climbing the mountain, no player in the team left.

   On the mountain, everyone looked into the distance, breathing the fresh air coming from the mountain breeze, refreshed and relaxed.

   At this moment, a sense of pride gradually came to everyone's heart.

"champion!"

  Kid's voice suddenly sounded.

   "New Jersey!"

   everyone responded loudly.

"champion!"

   "New Jersey!"

   The high-pitched voice echoed repeatedly in the mountains.

  Scott and Brett looked at each other.

   This season, the Nets are in a good mood and in good condition. It seems that this year it is expected to continue to hit the highest peak of the NBA!

  ......

  After a period of time on the mountain, everyone began to descend.

  As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult.

   Facing the steep mountain road, the players slowed down and slowly descended.

   As Shentong slowly moved by a small tree, he only heard exclamation and applause from the mountain behind the team.

  Shentong turned back, and saw that the bare-headed Jefferson walked from the mountain, almost lingbo's footsteps, and quickly ran from the mountain and rushed down the mountain.

   lying trough!

   Shentong couldn't help but exclaim.

   did not expect this kid to be so powerful.

   Even the Shaolin monks dare not do this!

   looked at Jefferson's vigorous back, Shen Tong could not help but yell for his good brother.

   At this moment Jefferson's heart is in mmp!

   Jefferson: It’s **** nice, no one can pull me off, this group of guys are not good quality.

  ......

  November 2, 2002, it was a day of great attention.

   Because on this day, the New Jersey Nets will challenge the Houston Rockets away.

   Chinese Derby!

  Compared with the unprecedented Shentong against Wang Zhizhi last season, the Chinese derby with the best rookie last season and the title of the No. 1 pick this season, the appeal is completely different.

  Two days before the game, there were already many media speculation in this game.

  However, compared with Shentong who just scored 55 points and performed well, as the first foreign champion, Yao Ming was not easy and faced tremendous pressure and doubt.

   So far, Yao Ming has participated in two games with the Houston Rockets.

  In the first game against the Indiana Pacers, Yao Ming came off the bench for 11 minutes. He scored 0 points on 1 shot and scored only 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 3 fouls. His performance was very general.

   That Rockets also lost 82-91.

   In the second game, Yao Ming still came off the bench, but this time he broke the scoring shortage.

In 13 minutes of playing, he made 1 of 5 shots, scored 2 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 fouls. The team also defeated the Denver Nuggets 83-74.

  Obviously, Yao Ming's performance has made the critical American media have enough topics, and all kinds of cynicism and irony have been reported in the newspaper.

  However, at this time, the Rockets coach Tom Janovic and the team boss Steve Francis came out one after another and expressed to the media that they are full of confidence in Yao Ming. He just needs some time to get used to it.

"Hey guys, don’t put too much pressure on our big man, I want to tell you that Katino and I will teach him to play well. Once this big man is taught by us, you just wait, we will Let the whole league tremble!" Francis said to the media.

  ......

  After a month of hell-style devil training, the New Jersey Nets team set off for the away game to challenge the Houston Rockets.

   This game, the Rockets home Toyota Center gathered a large number of Chinese reporters, they are not willing to miss this moment that may be loaded into history.

   Speaking of Toyota Center, this is the Rockets' first season playing here.

It turned out that in 2002, a group of Houston-based sports teams put pressure on the city government to ask the authorities to build new stadiums to replace the old Compaq Center. As a result, the Toyota Center was built. The title sponsorship of Toyota Motor Corporation is called "Toyota Center Gymnasium".

  A total of 18,300 spectators can be accommodated here. However, today's stadium is full, and almost 20,000 spectators can be accommodated on site.

  ......

   Before the game, the two sides issued their starting lists.

   The Nets starter five tigers have not changed, still Mutombo, Martin, Jefferson, Shentong and Kidd.

   Rockets, the backcourt partner has not changed, Steve Francis and Katino Mobley's pair of attacks.

The small forward started with Glen Rice, who is 2.01 meters tall. After recovering from the injury last season, Rice played 20 times on behalf of the Rockets~www.NovelMTL.com~ All starts, averaging 8.6 points and 2.4 per game Rebounding 1.6 assists, although the data is average, but after all, is the data after Rice's serious recovery. In his previous career, Rice has never scored less than 12 points in a single season.

  In his career, with a 40% three-point shooting rate, Rice continued to be entrusted by the team in the new season. He, Francis and Mobley are known as the three musketeers outside the Rockets.

Power forward position, Eddie Griffin, who was selected by the Rockets in the seventh pick last season, is the team's first choice. Griffin is a favorite player type of the Rockets. After averaging 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game this season, the Rockets are looking forward to Griffin's new season.

   The center starter of this game is different from the previous two games.

I don’t know if it was planned, or to meet the needs of the Chinese derby, Yao Ming got a valuable starting opportunity in this game, and Kevin Cato, who has been the team’s starting center for the first two games, was placed by the coach. On the bench.

  ......

   The game was about to start, and Shen Tong, who was on the court, came to Yao Ming, who was a bit cautious.

   "Dayao, relax, I hope we all have a good performance in this game." Shen Tong encouraged.

  Yao Ming looked at Shentong and showed a polite but embarrassed smile from the curator Kim...
