4. The opening game (please ask and

(Thank you for the Zhangtui of Brother Fisherman to me, thank you for the magic dragon Xiaobai, Wu Qian, Aoya, Wallet, Fuhua, Ruomeng, Liudao, Madman, Xiafei Female Hero for the reward or evaluation votes given by everyone who voted for the recommendation votes. Starting from today, the old book is completed, we will do our best to prepare this new book)

On October 31, 2007, the opening game of the new season started, with a total of 12 teams participating in the opening game. The Rockets were fortunate to be one of them, and their opponents were the league's former darling and the ever-noble Los Angeles Lakers in the basketball world.

The game was played at the Houston Toyota Center, which shows that the league is now favoring the Rockets. You should know that in the past, the opening matches were played at home in the Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks, and other teams with important influence. It is not uncommon for the Rockets to participate in the opening match, but the strange thing is that the home match is in Houston rather than Los Angeles.

Of course, this is understandable. Yao Ming's joining has created a large amount of foreign exchange income for the NBA, and McGrady has also become the most popular top outside swinger in the world. On the contrary, since O'Neal's eastward travel to Miami in 2004, the Lakers' record has begun to sink, and it is difficult to enter the playoffs, and it is normal to lose the favor of the league.

The order of NBA players' appearance is particular. The bigger the star, the more he plays, the more he plays in the back. The last one must be the boss of the team, and the first one is the pawn on the edge of the team.

There is no doubt that the first player to play for the Rockets was Li Yuntian. When he walked into the stadium excitedly, almost no fans cheered for him. DJ just barely shouted loudly: "The first player to play was Yundon Lee, a small forward who was six feet and eight inches tall. He is the fellow villager of our beloved center Yao Ming..."

The last sentence gave Li Yuntian a little applause, but he was unable to be happy, and DJ even mispronounced his name! What made him feel aggrieved was that he could not complain about anything. The pronunciation of "Li Yuntian" is very difficult for the United States, and "Yunton" is a common name for European and American people. Moreover, he has only been with this team for five days, and DJ is indeed very unfamiliar with him.

After walking out of the player channel, Li Yuntian's excitement began to calm down. He was watched by 20,000 spectators but no one cheered him. This was indeed a feeling that could not be exciting.

"Li, come on! Kick the Los Angeles people in the ass and tell them Houston is invincible!"

"Old Li, conquer Houston! Conquer the NBA!"

A man and a woman voice sounded, and Li Yuntian looked at the audience behind him. Doug Sardmons and Qin Ziyan were standing and waved at him. Both of them were wearing the Rockets' No. 8 jersey, which is Li Yuntian's battle jersey.

In the huge gymnasium, there were only two people cheering for Li Yuntian. This was a bit ironic, but he was already satisfied. You know, because of his lack of status in the team, Morey, the Rockets general manager, did not send him free tickets. He was able to cheer for him on the spot. The tickets were bought by Doug and Qin Ziyan at a high price. What he felt most satisfied was that Qin Ziyan, as a reporter of Sports Weekly, could enter the stadium for free with her reporter's card, but she was in the press seat on the roof. In order to cheer for Li Yuntian, Qin Ziyan spared no expense to buy the VIP tickets at the front desk.

If there is a chance to play in this game, I must let Doug and Ziyan earn back the ticket price. Li Yuntian lowered his head and swear silently in his heart.

The one who played behind Li Yuntian was Mike Harris, who was also a small forward and was not much stronger than Li Yuntian. Similarly, he had just arrived at the Rockets and signed a two-year minimum salary. In the end, he and Li Yuntian would only leave one person, and the Rockets did not need two forwards to bench third.

The players entered the court one by one, and the more DJ yelled, the higher the tone of the DJ yelling, the more cheers the players received after they appeared. Francis was the sixth last to play. Although his tactical status in the team was not high, because he was once a favorite among Houston fans, he made a special arrangement when he appeared.

When DJ shouted the name "Steve Francis", some young fans wearing No. 3 jerseys gave huge cheers. These people grew up watching Francis' game. Many of them even wore classical Rocket jerseys with blue bases. Francis in his peak era wore such jerseys.

The five main players entered the game, Yao Ming was the second to last. When he appeared, he received welcome from almost all fans. What surprised Li Yuntian was that many stars from the Chinese world came on the scene! He looked at it carefully, Zhang Ziyi, Chow Yunfa, Jet Li... There were no less than five famous internationally.

At the opening ceremony, the stadium was pitch black, with only one light beam shining on the players who played, so he had not noticed the presence of these people before. The reason why Yao Ming noticed these people when he appeared was because he heard the long-lost local accent, and these people cheered Yao Ming in Mandarin.

The final appearance was Tracy McGrady, the leader of the Rockets and the top scorer in the league.

At this time, McGrady was carrying miracles such as 62 points in a single game, 35 seconds and 13 minutes. She was the well-deserved superstar in Houston. When he appeared, all the fans shouted almost at the same time. It was like a tsunami collapse.

Li Yuntian has never experienced such an exciting scene. In the past, whether in the CBA or NBDL, there might be fans watching the game, but they would never make such a huge cry.

Seeing McGrady walking slowly with her hands raised and smiling, Li Yuntian's calm mood became excited again: This is his pursuit. Since he has become a player, he must be the best! This is just McGrady's appearance in Houston. Li Yuntian could not imagine what kind of scene would it be when Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls!

McGrady clenched her fists and hit every teammate. When she passed by Li Yuntian, he noticed that the opponent's body was trembling slightly, so he opened his arms and hugged him, and smiled shyly: "Hi, Orientals, don't be too nervous, it's just an ordinary game, and we will win, right?"

Li Yuntian nodded heavily. At this time, he was not only nervous, but also more excited. This feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable. When McGrady hugged him, he subconsciously developed inferiority and admiration. He was about the same height as McGrady, but his aura was very different!

"Conquer Houston, Lao Li, don't forget your ideal." Qin Ziyan looked at Li Yuntian's bitter expression and said silently, "Lao Li, you must succeed and play as proudly as you were in the CBA!"

At the end of the opening ceremony, countless colorful lights illuminated, illuminating the Toyota Center as bright as day. The Rockets invited singers to sing, while the cheerleaders waved the colorful balls and gave them a sexy and hot dance.

McGrady and Kobe stood together and joked, and the two were discussing their summer vacation life.

Li Yuntian looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, and his heart was mixed. He had trained with Kobe. He would go to the training hall to practice more at 5 o'clock every morning. Generally speaking, Kobe would come at 5 o'clock. The relationship between the two was pretty good. At first, Kobe saw that he worked so hard, and even had some expectations for him. Later, the two played bullfights and ended him with 11:0 just like chopping melons and vegetables. After thoroughly understanding his strength, Kobe alienated him.

Just as Li Yuntian recalled these past events, Yao Ming came over and pulled him, and smiled and said, "Yuntian, come on, introduce you to a few friends."

Yao Ming took Li Yuntian to the VIP seat and introduced the little brother to Zhang Ziyi and others. However, although these people are not big roles in Hollywood, they are top-notch in the Chinese entertainment industry and have no connection with Li Yuntian.

Yao Ming introduced it, Jet Li and others just shook hands and said hello. As for the female stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Yu Nan, they even omitted the handshake and nodded and met.

Li Yuntian didn't care about this. He was just an unknown little man. Why did he expect to be able to get along with these prides in the Chinese world? If it weren't for Yao Ming, these people wouldn't even look at him.

Without expectations, there is no loss. Li Yuntian smiled and listened to Yao Ming chatting with these people for a while, found an opportunity to say sorry, and turned around to prepare to practice football.

As soon as he took a step, Li Yuntian suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice behind him: "Hi, fellow villager, are you so diligent? Can you give me an autograph?"

Li Yuntian was a little surprised. He looked back and saw a tall, elegant and dignified beautiful girl smiling at him.

This girl is tall among yellow women. Li Yuntian is probably a little taller than Qin Ziyan, at least 1.82 meters tall. Her body is convex and convex, her two beautiful legs are a bit stunning, and she has a cheerful smile on her pretty face, perfectly combining the two temperaments of beauty, elegance and liveliness and generosity.

"Miss Zhang Zilin, hello, are we fellow villagers?" Li Yuntian smiled awkwardly. He was very familiar with this girl. She should be the hottest among Chinese women this year. In the Miss World beauty pageant that just ended, the final winner of the champion was the one in front of him now, and she was also the first Chinese woman to receive this honor.

Zhang Zilin was wearing a denim suit, and her black hair was scattered on her shoulders like a wave, and she looked wild when she moved. Seeing Li Yuntian turn around, Zhang Zilin took the initiative to laugh and said, "My hometown is from Shandong. Later, my parents were transferred to Beijing for work, so I followed her. Before middle school, I stayed in Shandong, so of course we are fellow villagers."

Li Yuntian is just a third-rate little star. Although Zhang Zilin is Miss World, she is not worth a lot of money. The two of them happen to be the youngest shrimp in the circle, and they can't integrate into the chat atmosphere of Zhang Ziyi and Chow Yun-fat. In this way, they communicated together and felt relaxed.

After the opening ceremony, the players began to enter the game. Li Yuntian said goodbye and was about to leave. Zhang Zilin took out the paper and pen and smiled sly: "Hey, fellow countryman, you haven't signed me yet. I really want your signature. I have a cousin, who is your loyal fan."

Adelman waved his hand to summon the players, Li Yuntian hurriedly wrote down his name, and turned around as he walked, "If you have the chance, I'll give your cousin a signature jersey. Goodbye, fellow countryman, I'm very happy this time chat."

Rockets players surrounded Adelman and listened to him for the final tactical deployment. According to NBA regulations, the maximum number of personnel of a team is 15, but there can only be a 12-person roster for each game, and the remaining three are frozen.

The three players who were frozen in this game were Steve Novak, Kirk Snyder and Li Yuntian, a small guard who was both a 2007 rookie and Li Yuntian. These three players had no chance to play. In fact, Li Yuntian hoped that he could be on this frozen roster, because although entering this roster means that you cannot play in this game, the team will not trade you.

Like Mike Harris and Li Yuntian, they both have the chance to play in recent games, but one of them is destined to be cut. The 50% chance of being selected is enough to make the two of them frightened.

Three referees came on the court, and the referee then blew the whistle, and the starting players from both sides began to play.
