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

The Warriors' arena was filled with boos.

Fans started leaving the stadium early, even at halftime.

This is extremely embarrassing.

To be fair, Arenas is still very good at selling tickets. Even though he was on the Warriors and his team was constantly at odds with him, fans were still willing to pay.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Warriors have been so reluctant to let go.

However, the Warriors were really badly beaten today.

The final score was 136 to 87!

其中阿里纳斯独自砍下全场最高35分8篮板，丹皮尔2分2篮板，安托万贾米森21分，墨菲是今天勇士队的篮板担当有14个。

When Yao Ming wasn't on the court, he got a huge boost.

However, while others rack up points, Murphy racks up rebounds.

competition is over.

When Da Yao checked the 0.8 point counter-yield.

Dampier practically fled in terror. He had no choice but to leave; he had lost all face today, and to sit down would be like public execution.

He had already planned it out; he would go back and say that he had injured his shoulder today.

Yeah, Divac messed up the last game.

This way, they can at least save face a little.

The only player who could rival Dampier in absurdity was Arenas, while the Rockets were preparing to say goodbye to the old cat, the Rockets' final dance.

With a clear advantage, the whole team orchestrated the offense, allowing Lao Mao to score 31 points, grab 6 rebounds, and dish out 1 assist.

This can be considered a perfect ending to his Rockets career.

Led by Yao Ming, the Rockets players lined up to hug Mobley, while Arenas appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Is this some kind of special ceremony?"

For a fleeting moment.

Yao Ming found Glenn Robinson surprisingly not so annoying.

"What are you going to do, Gilbert?"

Seeing that Francis was about to lose his temper, Yao Ming could only close his eyes and force himself not to get angry, and then began his diplomatic Yao mode.

"I didn't mean any harm, bro, you played really well. Actually, I was just wondering if your shoe company has ever been interested in expanding into other areas?"

"Shouldn't this be something your agent should have done by making the contact?"

"I don't have an agent..."

Yao Ming: ...

Damn it, I forgot. Arenas was a second-round pick. During his time with the Warriors, he led the team in tanking, creating a situation where everyone was tanking together.

The team's salted fish king mode has begun, where players rack up points while waiting for their contracts to expire and for transfers to other teams.

To save that money, he always used a temporary agent.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Ming still gave out the clerk's phone number.

When Adiwang first entered the US market, he was entirely dependent on Adidas, so he rented an office in Adidas' Los Angeles office area.

Yao Ming has been too busy lately and hasn't found a suitable leader for the sneaker section yet.

"Thank you so much! Do you think I can do it? Will Adiwang and the others give me a lot of money?" Arenas asked excitedly.

Yao Ming considered for a moment: "You'll still need to find an agent eventually. I can introduce you to a shoe contract, and you can also borrow Bill for a while. Paying per use shouldn't be a problem."

"Thanks a lot, bro! I've always thought your sneaker colorway is really cool!"

On several occasions, Yao Ming tried to make Arenas think things through.

This is getting really sentimental.

As a result, Arenas stayed in the pit and wouldn't leave, which gave Yao Ming a huge headache.

After a few minutes of forced conversation, Yao Ming finally managed to get rid of Arenas, this oddball. If they weren't so famous, they would have had an awkward relationship where they talked for several minutes without even knowing each other's names.

A large number of news reports appeared the next day.

The headline is Vince Carter.

After Yao Ming secured an All-Star starter position, he submitted a statement requesting that Shaquille O'Neal be given the starting spot, given O'Neal's current fame.

But it's still different from a league icon like Shaquille O'Neal.

This move by Yao Ming showed O'Neal a great deal of respect.

So even though O'Neal was very unhappy about losing face.

He hasn't given any interviews lately, and he avoids reporters whenever he encounters them, forbidding himself from hearing anything he doesn't like, such as news about a certain 226cm center or a certain rebellious younger brother on the team.

Anyway, he doesn't want to listen to anything and just keeps reading but not replying.

In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere in the West, the Eastern Conference teams are in trouble. No one knows what happened, but fans are insisting that Vince Carter give up his starting position.

To emulate Yao Ming.

When Yao Ming saw the contents of the newspaper, he almost made a meme. "I, Yao, am being blamed even though I'm just lying here?"

Whether Carter starts or not is none of my business.

But fans and media don't care about that; they just insist on making connections.

What's even more outrageous is that both McGrady and Iverson have expressed their desire for Jordan to start and offered to give up their positions, but Jordan's fans went crazy and insisted on attacking Carter.

The five starting positions in the Eastern Conference this season.

The Eastern Conference's top vote-getter was Tracy McGrady (shooting guard), Allen Iverson (point guard), Vince Carter (small forward), Jermaine O'Neal (power forward), and Ben Wallace (center).

Although Jermaine O'Neal played center for most of the season.

However, in the All-Star classification, he was still categorized as a power forward, just like Duncan.

The Pacers currently have the best winning percentage this season, while the Spurs have the fourth-best overall winning percentage. Both of them have one problem: a lack of a physically imposing center who can match up against O'Neal.

Coincidentally, both sides adopted the same approach.

Give O'Neal and Duncan more weight so they can step up.

You're guaranteed to get scolded.

But the effect looks pretty good.

Jordan received fifth place in the Eastern Conference votes. Despite the Wizards being such a terrible team, he still averaged over 20 points per game and garnered over 100 million popularity votes.

Unfortunately, Cato and Jordan had 130 million votes in the same position!

Jordan was relegated to the rotation.

With five days to go until All-Star Weekend, the Rockets have two games left, one against the Pacers, which they unfortunately lost.

Artest almost played at an MVP level.

He single-handedly defeated both the "Martial Saint" and Glenn Robinson, scoring 26 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 3 assists. Coupled with his defensive prowess, he held Glenn Robinson to single digits for the first time since joining the Rockets, managing only 6 points.

The Rockets were completely helpless after their frontcourt was broken.

And these past few days, there's been a news report every day in the East.

Vince Carter was almost knocked to the ground.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give way to Jordan. Carter's initial thought was that the fans had voted for him, and it wouldn't be polite to just give up like that, so he hesitated for a moment.

Because barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will also be leaving the Raptors.

Carter was the most popular All-Star for many years, and naturally he wanted to leave something for the fans before he left.

Who would have thought he hesitated? Jordan's die-hard fans, on the other hand, didn't hesitate at all.

When Yao Ming led his team to victory against the Hawks.

Carter compromised, and Jordan also came forward to explain that he would officially retire after the All-Star Game.

This is his third retirement.

This news is huge and very important.

They managed to suppress Carter's popularity!

This wave of media bombardment came one after another, and the league also wanted to squeeze out Jordan's last bit of value. Countless Jordan fans took to the streets, commemorating the basketball god who was defeated by time in their own way.

Of course, Yao Ming was the happiest.

The media kept hyping up his relationship with O'Neal, which was already annoying enough, and the first game after the All-Star break was a home game against the Lakers!

Now, thanks to Jordan's popularity, Yao Ming has suddenly disappeared from the public eye.
