NBA: Yao Ming at his peak returns to his rookie season

Karl Malone, who had been the leader for 18 years, was overthrown in this way for the first time.

As Karl Malone was pushed down.

The players from both sides quickly gathered together.

Karl Malone scrambled to his feet, feigning accusation: "Kid! Fight fair and square! You resorted to dirty tricks!"

The home fans also erupted in insults, cheering for their own supporters.

But Yao Ming wiped his sweat and said calmly, "Karl, times have changed. The video is now played over the entire arena. Do you really need to show what you did in front of the Salt Lake City fans?"

Karl Malone remained silent.

The referee separated the crowds from both sides, looked at the court, and finally gave Yao Ming a foul.

Of course, Yao Ming wasn't so magnanimous as to let Malone off the hook.

As he said, times have changed.

This game was broadcast live across the United States, and Karl Malone had nowhere to hide. After Yao Ming committed a foul, the VIP also issued a flagrant foul 2 to Karl Malone.

Actually, whether or not you supplement it is not that important.

With his energy completely depleted and his stamina at zero, Karl Malone returned to the Jazz's bench like an old dog that had fallen on hard times!

Yao Ming is exhausted today.

He played for 38 minutes, and at a crucial moment, he even pulled and pushed Karl Malone with tremendous force. I wonder if he will break a bone.

The game ended with the Rockets winning by a margin of 18 points.

After the game, the Rockets requested a trade with the Jazz. The Rockets traded their 04 first-round draft pick and veteran Mobley to the Jazz for rookie Kirilenko and Tony Maxson, who had one year left on his contract.

This wave of transactions is heartbreaking for Dawson.

But Dawson was in the wrong.

They previously acquired Glenn Robinson, but now they can't sell him. This time, Tomjanovich reached a deal with Sloan through a backroom transaction, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Tang Shuai is also a kind and honest person.

Although Sloan deserves criticism and criticism, Coach Tomjanovich understands Sloan and the Jazz's duo's desire for a championship.

Giving away the old cat at least gave them something to look forward to.

At the post-game press conference, reporters bombarded Yao Ming with questions about the inside story of pushing someone.

Yao Ming, of course, remained calm and composed: "I believe the referees will make a fair judgment."

As a result, Yao Ming didn't believe the league would dare to ignore it.

Sure enough, shortly after the post-game interview, the league issued a penalty to the Jazz, suspending Karl Malone for three games.

Furthermore, according to rumors, Ma Long went for a check-up after the match.

Surprisingly, one of his ribs had a minor fracture.

Karl Malone vehemently denies that he's never been dirty before!

The next morning, around 3 a.m., the newly popular online chat rooms were filled with images of Karl Malone attempting to elbow people.

They even did a slow-motion replay and a comparison of Karl Malone's past "records"!

Karl Malone's reputation worsened overnight.

He's now elbowing Yao Ming, and even the local Salt Lake City fans' attempts to argue back are hollow and weak. Being tough doesn't equal being dirty, and fans can see this perfectly in Karl Malone and Yao Ming.

On one hand, there is a resolute resistance to fouls; on the other hand, there is malicious injury even after losing!

Compared to Karl Malone's "malicious" approach.

Yao Ming was incredibly magnanimous, giving this veteran player the utmost respect by not even requesting a replay, but instead accepting a penalty.

The moderate officiating earned Yao Ming 20 votes from Salt Lake City fans!

The crucial fourth round of voting is in three days.

However, after this game, Yao Ming's vote count is now in first place by a wide margin, and he is now vying for the All-Star vote leader this year.

If Yao Ming is not only a starter but also the All-Star vote leader, then he will break Vince Carter's record and become the only rookie to win the All-Star vote leader title in his first year.

Yao Ming's popularity is absolutely off the charts.

However, the league really doesn't dare to give Yao Ming the top vote. The Olympic Tower is in complete chaos right now, and some people even want to bring Morgan Smoo back.

Of course, it was quickly suppressed by David Stern.

Yao Ming's popularity is beyond imagination.

It's impossible to suppress it now, and it will only anger Yao Ming and the Chinese market, so we might as well just give Yao Ming a boost.

This is also the difference between David Stern and Adam Silver.

David Stern is a gambler who wears a suit, but when it really matters, he's willing to put anything on the table.

Xiao Hua, on the other hand, is quite lacking; he has plenty of intelligence but clearly lacks decisiveness.

As TNT's number one Yao Ming fan.

Barkley, now a rising star in the entertainment industry, also took advantage of this trend and made a big bet, starting another round of betting on his talk show.

"Yao Ming will definitely be better than Shaq. He will be the starting All-Star in the West and may even surpass Bryant to become the top vote-getter."

Hey, do you guys want to see how he plays? He can back down like Sir Charles, move like Hakeem Olajuwon, and shoot like Dirk Nowitzki. Have you ever seen a better center? Shaq? Definitely not!

The feud between Barkley and O'Neal has a long history.

From the moment the flying pig lay down on the podium, their relationship was one where obtaining the "Thanos Gauntlet" meant killing each other immediately.

Therefore, this wave of praising the high and belittling the low is entirely Barkley's normal performance.

Just then, David Stern was about to play, and Barkley's comments were amplified instantly!

Under the alliance's 'hint'.

Barkley also decided that if Yao Ming didn't make the All-Star starting lineup, he would wear the underwear that Michael Jordan gave to Kenny and walk around the court to open the All-Star game.

If Yao Ming is a starter, he will donate 10 yuan to a sports charity.

The entire league was excited when this bet was announced.

After all, Barkley is a master of pranks. He was slapped in the face when Yao Ming was a rookie and ended up kissing a donkey's butt.

Now it's generating a lot of buzz.

The extreme training session between Yao Ming and Barkley was also brought up.

There were also many who mocked Sir Charles Barkley.

Back then, he was so scared by Jordan's training that he didn't dare to follow along. Now, he's using top-level training intensity to make things difficult for newcomers, and what's worse, he still hasn't managed to make things difficult for them!

Unlike Barkley's stubbornness and reliance on empty words, Yao Ming's resolute and tough style is more suited to the current NBA!

Yao Ming's votes have surged dramatically.

Finally, after the last round of voting, Yao Ming topped the All-Star voting charts for the 2002-2003 season with a historic 267 million votes.

Two records were broken at the same time.

He is the rookie All-Star vote leader and has received a record-breaking 268 million votes.

The adventure system also didn't forget about Yao Ming's rewards.

They gave us 3 medium stamina potions and 3 medium mental potions.

The former restores physical strength, while the latter makes the mind clearer.

Yao Ming is satisfied with this performance.

At the same time, although there were many nitpicking voices from the American fans, Yao Ming's record speaks for itself, and he had Adidas's news department controlling the situation, as well as David Stern's support.

Public opinion was far less severe than it was in the original timeline.

So when Yao Ming was interviewed, he was asked what his feelings were about being the youngest vote leader in history.

Yao Ming immediately said, "It's great that we don't have to watch Charles' opening performance in his underwear. Also, I'll prepare a short opening show for the kids who love basketball."
