NBA: Yao Ming at his peak returns to his rookie season
Chapter 44 The New Members of Houston
The Pistons Players Center's medical treatment room.
Yao Ming was still sitting alone on the ground at the door.
Yao Ming is currently just starting to gain weight, and he looks rather thin.
Moreover, they had just finished an intense match, their faces were covered in sweat, and they looked exhausted. The venue had been cleared, but staff, reporters, fans who had entered through other means, and even cheerleaders were still there on both sides of the tunnel!
Even though this is Detroit, they are still waiting for the outcome.
This incident has gone viral across the United States, and NBA fans are now so engrossed in it that they don't need to sleep at all.
Yao Ming didn't use performance-enhancing drugs; he was simply a super genius who defeated Kidd and Ben Wallace back-to-back.
He used performance-enhancing drugs, and his career may be over.
The rules won't kill him, but public opinion will.
Just like the once-dominant French center, who was dunked on by Carter, it was a very common occurrence in the basketball world, and a talented basketball player was finished just like that.
Yao Ming, on the other hand, remained quite calm.
Whether his "stamina potion" counts as a performance-enhancing drug is unknown to Yao Ming, but at least the products from the system should be safe.
He wasn't thinking about the doping issue; instead, he was figuring out who was behind it and how to maximize his profits.
Only elementary school students discuss right and wrong.
Adults want to kill all their enemies.
Yao Ming has no intention of wasting his time on them.
Time passed second by second.
One hour and twenty minutes later, for the fourth time, a cheerleader asked Yao Ming if he wanted some water. After Yao Ming politely and gently declined, the first urine test result came in.
Multiple methods of verification were used, but no residual substances of stimulants or other drugs were found in Da Yao's urine test!
This news brought a sigh of relief to a large number of people.
But it also suffocates many more people!
After the first test, there was a second and a third, until the final test report was released.
Yao Ming excitedly ripped his clothes in front of Detroit fans.
Ben Wallace's injuries could be classified as "minor."
Yao Ming's current height makes this a "minor injury"!
Varying degrees of bruising, and slight swelling from the elbow strike!
He roared!
Surrounded by the crowd, Yao Ming walked out of the Palace of Auburn Hills and boarded the waiting bus, with fans slowly following behind him!
This scene was captured on camera.
At the same time, various voices of condemnation were vehemently voiced through various channels!
In particular, the letters from the NAACP and the CBA did not wait a second; as soon as the first urine test came out, they directly and strongly condemned the NBA!
……
"Mr. Stern! You can't do this to me!"
In David Stern's office, Morgan Smorow excitedly slammed his fist on the table, but compared to before, he seemed more bluster than he was now.
In front of him was a notice of suspension of his duties.
"This is the best outcome Smoro can hope for, if you don't want me to deal with you personally!"
Morgan Smorow knew about David Stern's plan.
But no one had ever considered that David Stern would value Yao Ming so much; this document wasn't drafted after the first urine test report came out.
It was drafted immediately after the meeting ended.
However, Smorow ultimately didn't dare to continue directly confronting David Stern.
He knew very well how ruthless and heartless this old man was who had taken the NBA from a secondary league to one of the four major leagues in the United States.
No one can stop his ambition to develop the NBA.
According to the agreement, Smorow will suspend his position as NBA Vice President and become the Chairman of the Overseas Region, a promotion that actually takes him away from the center of power.
The Olympic Building will probably have nothing to do with him in the future.
This is what makes Smoro most upset.
But he's not finished yet.
Because Smoro still has plans with Han, as long as he faces Yao Ming head-on, he can show David Stern and the fans that Yao Ming is nothing special.
He wasn't the only one.
Then he will naturally come back!
"I'll be back!" Smoro straightened his tie and left the president's office, maintaining his final composure.
Behind him was Xiao Hua looking at him like he was an idiot.
After dealing with Smallo, David Stern immediately had Adam Silver send a message to the Basketball Association, along with a six-month broadcast extension contract.
As for the former, he needs to handle it himself!
Everyone knows that there are many strange organizations in the United States, and what's worse, they have no rights of their own, yet they can disgustingly create rights.
Larry Bird lost a crucial opportunity to lead the Pacers out of the cornfield because of this damn rumor.
Bird's coaching career was ruined by just one sentence: "No black man can guard me."
Yao Ming is now facing a much more severe situation!
This is not just a matter of a few words.
What's even more despairing is his furious roar as he tears his clothes apart!
Who says Chinese people can't play basketball?
In Chamberlain's time, Black people weren't even allowed to play!
The overwhelming public opinion was suffocating.
Yao Ming's photo appeared on the front page of every newspaper, and of course, Ben Wallace and Kobe Bryant also became staunch supporters of Yao Ming because of their previous statements.
The benefits need to be viewed in the long term.
Moreover, in the short term, they might encounter something else.
But Yao Ming remembered the favor.
On this day, several editions of Yao Ming and Ben Wallace's newspapers began to be consciously bought up by some fans. On this special day, perhaps at some point in the future, these newspapers that cost only a few cents will be worth a lot of money!
The game continues.
The NBA schedule is packed and intense.
Yao Ming's rest during the game against the Raptors two days later can be seen as a righteous punch to the league!
Following that day, the Olympic Tower underwent an internal inspection.
Two "dereliction of duty personnel" were removed.
Specifically, they were fired for stepping into the office building with their left foot first, which has nothing to do with the improper handling of the situation during the Rockets vs. Pistons game three days prior.
Meanwhile, the supplementary six-month broadcasting contract, along with three youth training camp slots for China Fortune each season for three consecutive seasons, appeased the Chinese Basketball Association's anger.
This is definitely ZJ.
It was precisely because of this little incident that the Basketball Association gained a lot of benefits, thanks to Chairman Yao's persuasive tactics of switching to a different account.
They no longer pursued the general issues.
All they asked was that he must issue a public apology upon returning to his home country during the off-season.
Chairman Yao gave Dazhi another lesson in politics. Although the Basketball Association was behind this, Dazhi's two agents and assistants also deserve credit for spouting nonsense!
Most of them are Chinese players.
How could you do that?
Why can't we be more tactful?
Is his relationship with Dallas really bad?
Why choose the stupidest option when there are so many other ways, like having the Mavericks provide a temporary contract for an assistant coach and finding an agent who's good at wrangling?
My basic values were severely shocked and reshaped.
The difference between people.
Dazhi's agent never considered simply confronting the Basketball Association head-on and stating firmly that he would not participate in domestic training camps; that would be a waste of time.
Think of this kind of dialogue roughly like the leaders of the Basketball Association.
It was absolutely chilling.
The country certainly allows you to pursue your self-worth, but you can't force yourself to say you won't go to the competition!
Are you crazy?
I roughly know that he can't get rid of this blame.
I readily agree with this apology.
Apologizing won't cost me anything.
Even on the still relatively underdeveloped internet, fans are increasingly paying attention to this game between Yao Ming and Ben Wallace!
Although the two of them fought a fierce battle that resulted in both of them suffering heavy losses.
Looking at the data, Yao Ming clearly has the advantage.
Of course, there are also many fans of Ben Wallace, so after a brief collaboration between Houston and Detroit fans, they are now arguing fiercely online again!
It's late December now.
During this period, Yao Ming was sidelined with an injury and missed one game, during which the Rockets lost to the Raptors.
Houston fans almost verbally abused their own team.
It's really all thanks to Yao Ming, a rookie, that they're holding on. What kind of state are the Raptors in now that they could be defeated by them?
This defeat also broke the Rockets' six-game winning streak.
This is their longest winning streak in three seasons.
After losing to the Raptors, Yao Ming returned in the second game, but his performance was still somewhat lackluster. In addition, the Hawks' tight defense led to the Rockets' second consecutive loss.
After losing two games in a row, the Rockets faced the Hornets in their third game.
Yao Ming played extremely fiercely in this game.
Moreover, Coach Tang adjusted his playing style to reduce the pressure on Yao Ming under the basket, and Yao Ming managed to score 28 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in just three quarters!
The Rockets defeated the Hornets 102-88.
Although the Hornets are still losing money, they are not a pushover team. Led by their star player Mashburn, the team has amazing fighting power.
They're definitely a second-tier team, while the Rockets won by a large margin!
It's a real shame that Cato's fasciitis flared up after this game, and he'll have to rest for four games. Yao Ming knew this, and it'll be very difficult for Cato to return to the court fully after this break.
In the fourth game, the Rockets played against the championship favorites, the Spurs.
This was also Yao Ming's first meeting with Duncan.
This game almost turned into a showcase of Yao Ming and Tim Duncan's skills, with both players displaying their fundamentals from every angle. The Rockets went into overtime and won by a narrow margin of 2 points.
It was after this match ended.
The Spurs and Rockets reached a first-round trade agreement.
The Rockets traded McDormand and Kevin Taylor to the Spurs for rotation player Stephen Jackson and Danny Green.
Danny Green played one game for the Rockets before announcing a trade with the Heat in exchange for a 04 second-round draft pick.
This game was Danny Green's only game in Houston.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks finally delivered a decisive performance in this game.
It was essentially the debut of Dada, Danny Green, and Stephen Jackson, and the three even held a press conference before the game to showcase their new jerseys.
This can only be described as a significant signal that the Rockets are announcing a roster upgrade!
