634 The main force is playing soy sauce (weekends

Morrow's scoring explosive power is particularly strong, and he has a bit of a nerve knife, but it is more stable. Of course, he is not as crazy as a pure nerve knife like Smith and Weaver, but with Chamberlain's permission, Morrow takes frequent shots as long as he has a chance on the outside. In the eight minutes of the fourth quarter, he made 6 goals with eight three-pointers, proving that he has the ability to play the sixth man in any team.

Blair used his huge body to squeeze the Rockets' inside. Chamberlain and Iverson frequently made balls for him. Blair cut continuously and dunked when he entered the penalty area. His strong upper body made his impact very stable, like a shell that was out of the barrel and would blow down when flying.

Old Nelson basically doesn't deploy tactics very much. The players played temporarily on the court. He sat on the bench and discussed with the coaching team. After playing a wonderful offense, he got up and waved his hand. He looked a bit like a fan.

In the last three and a half points, Iverson's breakthrough and Chamberlain's dunk began to take over the field. This game was like a blockbuster, and it was naturally the final climax. It made the fans on the scene blush and their emotions were high, so they couldn't sit down for a moment.

However, the Rockets won the final victory. The Warriors care about the performance. In the end, whoever they got the ball would play singles. Others pulled them away and didn't cooperate. The Rockets played more reasonably, just like the finals, with a sharp look, offense and defense, and a higher success rate - Warriors players, including Chamberlain, are all focused on offense. In defense, Iverson steals and Chamberlain blocks, only these two points, and don't care about the others. If they can't steal or block, they won't defend.

The fans were excited to watch it. As the score approached, they wanted to have an overtime match. The Rockets patiently tied the score and finally overtook two points in 20 seconds. Old Nelson finally called a timeout. He arranged a tactic to make a final kill. Curry excitedly walked on the field, and he would play the final kill.

Curry's three-pointer was naturally very accurate, but when his opponents Ariza and Bathir came to double-team him and he still had to force his shot, it would be amazing if he could still make such a ball. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Rockets with l10-l2 and the game ended.

Chamberlain and Yao Ming hugged and then exchanged jerseys. The fans refused to leave the game for a long time. They clapped vigorously when they saw this scene. Iverson, Ariza and others hugged and chatted with each other. Billups said to Yao Ming: "This is your home court, Yao, we will have a day off tomorrow, so take us here for fun."

Yao Ming said happily: "I didn't say anything. Let's have a good rest tonight and take you to the beach tomorrow."

Yao Ming was quite happy to win the game. Although his data is average, Shanghai is his hometown, and winning in his hometown is a very comfortable feeling.

Iverson asked Yao Ming to help him find B. The latter was a man in his thirties. He was flattered by Iverson's invitation. Iverson sat on the sidelines to communicate and said sadly: "I don't even know that I have so many fans in this country. When I came last year, I thought the fans gave me applause because I was friends."

B said: "No, no, AI, believe me, you have tens of millions of fans here, we love you wholeheartedly. Even if you don't win the championship, in our hearts, you are the best. It has nothing to do with who you are. What you bring to us is not something that can be measured by a championship or a glory."

After chatting, Iverson took off his game jersey and gave it to the signing name to the B and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm honored to have fans like you in this country. If time can go backwards, I hope I'll come here to meet you soon."

Chamberlain said to Yao Ming: "See it. There is a reason why Allen's fans are so obsessed with him."

The players started to leave the court with a joke. A reporter interviewed B and asked him what he thought of Iverson. He said: "This kind of problem is meaningless. AI never cares about anyone's opinion. He has a real American spirit - independence, self-improvement, and no matter how hard it is, I will not compare anyone with Iverson, whether Jordan or Kobe, they are all very great, but comparing them with Iverson, that will tarnish a heart that is not enough to describe as "great". I won't say it, nor do I want to see anyone say what he is wrong, because no one is qualified to look down on, criticize, or slander a person who is ten thousand times stronger than you."

The next day, the Rockets and Warriors players accepted interviews from major media. Chamberlain was the most reported, while the most popular report was from Iverson. The reporter wrote: "If every NHAI player represents a religion, Kobe or Chamberlain has the most believers, but the most pious one among believers must be Iverson regard Iverson as an idol or even as a belief. Although he will not give you money, all Averson is sure that no one can inspire your passion and fighting spirit so thoroughly on the spiritual level."

After reading these reports, Chamberlain went to translate them to Iverson in a sore way, and the latter said: "I decided that after I finished my contract, I would retire from the NHAO, then play in the league here for a year, and then completely retire."

Billups smiled and said, "I'm almost done. I'll accompany you at that time? We each join a team and see who can win the championship."

"I'm the one." Marbury stretched out his fist and collided with Iverson, and said in a high spirit. "I stayed at the Warriors until I won the championship. Well, I'm here to play. As long as I win the championship, I will come here to play. The fans here are more enthusiastic and sincere than the American fans. I've stayed enough in the United States, especially the damn New York fans."

Yao Ming took his group to visit Shanghai, without going to the bustling Nanjing Road or the like, and took them to the Oriental Pearl, to see the Huangpu River, and to appreciate the beauty of Shanghai's modern and classical combination.

Immediately, the Warriors embarked on a journey to Beijing. They had another game, which was to play against the EAR Golden Orange Team in Beijing, which was also their second preseason game.

Last season, the Warriors also played in Beijing, and their opponents were also Rockets. It seems that the NHA has recognized the gimmick of Chamberlain and Yao Ming’s Chinese center competition. It is estimated that as long as Yao Ming does not retire, the two of them will have to come to China for a preseason every season in the future.

Although it was considered in the preseason, the name of the event was "NHA China Tournament" at that time, and this time it was renamed to the international series. A total of eight teams participated in the overseas preseason, with a total itinerary of more than 180,000 kilometers, which is enough to circle the equator for four and a half laps.

These eight teams will complete 10 games in 10 cities in 7 countries and regions. With the outbreak of the US financial crisis in 2007, the NHA has paid more and more attention to overseas markets. This year, many teams will have to compete across countries. For example, after the Rockets play in Shanghai, they will also go to Manila, Philippines to play the Cavaliers and stage the Yao Sharks competition.

According to statistics, plus the ten games this year, the NHA has held a total of 14B overseas games in two countries and regions in Europe, America and Asia since 19/19.

As a league without promotion and relegation, making money is one of the biggest goals of the NHA. Among them, China is undoubtedly the most important position.

NHA President David Turner revealed in an interview last year that the NHA's annual overseas revenue is growing at a rate of more than 10%, and it is expected to reach US$1 billion by 22 years. Based on this calculation, the NHA's annual overseas revenue is currently around US$400 million, while the Chinese market alone accounts for US$600 million of it.

Preseason games held in the United States often cannot attract local audiences, because American fans prefer games that are related to victory or defeat rather than pure exhibition games. However, overseas, it is difficult for fans to see their favorite players. As long as fans have the opportunity to interact with their idols, they can create direct value. This is why Stern and Silva attach so much importance to overseas competitions, especially Silva, who intends to even hold the regular season in China next season.

The Warriors and Jinyu team played at MasterCard Center, which was the former Wukesong Stadium. This was more regular than the Shanghai Stadium, and at least there was no need to transport floors and basketball stands from the United States. But another problem arose, that is, the size of the NHE BAR spoon, and the distance between the three-point line is different:

The area of ​​the NHAI stadium is 2.43 meters×15 meters, and the PIBA is 2 meters×15 meters; the area of ​​the NHA penalty area is 46 meters×B meters, and the PIBA is .6 meters×6 meters×B meters trapezoid; the NHAR division line is 670 meters; the PIBA is 62 meters.

Of course, as the local customs are common, NHAI players can only adapt to this standard PIBAR spoon venue, but if you are used to playing the large NHAR spoon venue, the PIBAR spoon venue is really not enough to watch.

The starting lineup of Beijing team is Chen Lei, Zhang Yunsong, Ji, Jones and Harrison, and the Warriors are Chamberlain, Ibaka, Jackson, Iverson and Billups. This time, the old Nelson had to send a serious lineup. After all, this is the capital of China, and old Nelson has to be more cautious.

The strength gap between the two teams is too big. The Warriors are the NHAR defending champion team. Three players were selected for the last All-Stars, and West is also the best sixth man, and the absolute top five shooting guard in the NHA. The Golden Oyster team is now not counted in the EA title. None of them were selected for the EA All-Stars last season.

Chamberlain easily took the ball away, and Iverson broke into the penalty area with the ball at the first time. Although the EA penalty area was not conducive to the defender's breakthrough, the defense line of Jinyu was too poor. When Iverson began to break through, they had not deployed the defense line. The slow speed made the answer depressed.

After Iverson broke into the penalty area, he was embarrassed to score directly, so he could only run the bottom line with the ball and run out again. After the Jinyu team set up the defense line, he made a change of direction, but he directly threw Jones, who was defending him, and rushed in. Ji came out to make up for the defense. Iverson shook his head and threw the ball into the basket. Ibaka flew up and received the ball and dunked it.

No pressure at all.

Ibaka came up and slapped Iverson. The latter shook his head and said helplessly: "What else is there in this kind of game besides the viewing? It's really boring."

The Warriors pressed the whole game, and even Bilups could not dribble the ball through the half. The latter's height was more than ten centimeters away from Bilups, not to mention the difference in strength and speed. Bilups subconsciously suppressed the defense. The defender who was in power in E was suddenly in a hurry.

Fundamentally speaking, the top NHAT team that cooperates with tacit understanding is no worse than the Dream Team formed by the American men's basketball team. The Dream Team plays like playing against the Chinese men's basketball national team. What's more, the Warriors, which is not the Dream Team, is just a weak team.

Fortunately, Bilups had a higher emotional intelligence. After he went up and pressed, he found that his opponent could not stand it, so he sold a flaw and Zhang Yunsong changed direction and broke through.

Jackson subconsciously made up for defense. Zhang Yunsong did not expect that the opponent's big man who was more than two meters was still moving so fast, and he was blocked all of a sudden. He wanted to rush hard, but Jackson directly pushed him down.

The referee blew Jackson's defensive foul. Old Nelson frowned and shook his head and shouted at Jackson. He seemed very dissatisfied and made a substitution directly. Evans, Gibson and Barnes replaced the game first. Then, after three and a half points, Morrow and Blair came on the court again. At this point, all the main players of the Warriors were out of the game.
