Houston Rockets vs Indiana Pacers;
The Los Angeles Clippers vs the Orlando Cavaliers.
The two games were played at the same time. Both games had domestic players, but it was confirmed that Big Yao would be a substitute and not on the roster. There was almost no suspense as to which game it would be.
The environment of the fishing boats in China was not good, and the appearance time and condition were unknown. 90% of the fans would not think of watching them.
More than 200 million domestic fans were waiting in front of their televisions, waiting for Big Yao to show up.
They were all looking forward to it. Their eyes were focused, and their hearts were excited. The moment the old Rockets appeared on the TV screen, they were all excited.
They really wanted to see Big Yao's debut performance.
Then, Big Yao's performance was ruined.
At the start of the second quarter, Yao finally made his debut in the NBA. The first time he held the ball, it was intercepted by the Pacers 'substitute center, Jeff Foster, and he made his first mistake in his career.
However, this mistake did not affect the support of his teammates on the Rockets. The next time he held the ball, it came quickly.
However, just as Big Yao was about to turn around, the ball was gone again and he made another mistake.
Suddenly feeling the high-intensity physical confrontation of the NBA and the speed of his defensive movements, Big Yao's bug-like body became extremely nervous. He became like a fool and didn't know what to do. It was as if he didn't know how to play anymore.
The Rockets 'coach, Tomjanovic, saw that something was wrong and immediately replaced him.
Big Yao's debut ended tragically.
He didn't even make a single shot. The basketball didn't even last more than three seconds in his hands.
It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Big Yao got another chance to play.
However, he was still nervous. His body movements were stiff and his movements were constantly changing. On the defensive end, O'Neal scored three consecutive points.
He was completely out of the rhythm of the game.
After that, he missed his shots, dribbled and walked, constantly lost his position and fouled, and all kinds of glaring mistakes on both sides of the offense and defense were presented to the people of the world one by one.
There was even a wrestling incident that made everyone laugh, causing boos from the crowd.
In the end, in his 11-minute debut, Big Yao only contributed a 0-on-1 shot, 0 points, 2 rebounding, 2 errors, and 3 fouls.
After the game ended, all the domestic fans looked at each other, not knowing where to complain.
Ever since Big Yao became the top scorer, they had been looking forward to their debut, but it had ended in such a way. They had no way to vent the frustration and frustration in their hearts.
Most importantly, the team had lost.
In short, they were disappointed.
However, compared to the disappointment of the fans, the domestic media who had a good relationship with Big Yao were worried that he would have some psychological burden because of this and began to care about him.
Yang Yi also entered the Rockets 'locker room to check on the situation.
However, in the locker room, Big Yao was happy and didn't look depressed at all. Yang Yi's worries instantly disappeared.
Big Yao even joked with him,""Do you know Jay Williams? Even the second-place pick of the Bulls, who was also making his debut today, did not even make five free throws!”
After saying that, Dayao laughed to himself.
Yang Yi actually knew that he was trying to find joy in the midst of hardship. Other than the fact that the second-place player scored 0 out of 5 penalty shots, which was a bit eye-catching, his performance throughout the entire match was actually pretty good.
He scored 6 out of 9 shots, scored 13 points, had 7 assists, and had a steal.
It could be said that the other party's debut was many times better than his.
Knowing that forcing a smile like this wouldn't make his good friend feel at ease, Dayao changed the topic and asked,""Don't worry about me. How's my performance?”
As a teammate of the national team and an opponent of the CBA, Big Yao wanted to know the situation of the other team.
"He hasn't played in the match and has been on the substitutes 'bench the whole time.”Yang Yi replied with a smile.
This person also had some opinions about what happened this summer, so he was too lazy to talk about the latter.
"Then you see, I'm not the worst.”Dayao laughed again.
After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and stood up.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Yi asked in confusion when he saw him walking into the physiotherapist room.
"There's another guy. His match should be starting soon.”
Big Yao called him into the physio room and signaled the staff inside to turn on the television and switch to a certain channel.
Soon, the warm-up scene between the Washington Wizards and the toronto raptors came into view.
Ugh!
He had almost forgotten about Duke.
Yang Yi also realized that in addition to following Big Yao's situation, he also had to pay attention to Duke.
He had been so worried about Dayao that he had forgotten about it.
As long as it didn't involve him, Dayao was completely relaxed.
After showering, he even asked the physiotherapist in the room to help him relax in order to watch the game more comfortably.
As for Yang Yi, he simply moved a stool and sat under the television, planning to watch it with Big Yao.
When both sides were ready to go on stage, Yang Yi suddenly laughed and teased,"What do you think he will do on his debut?”
"Will he be worse than you?"
Since Yang Yi knew that Dayao wouldn't feel too burdened by this, he didn't have to worry about anything and started chatting with his friends.
"It won't be worse than me."
Big Yao seemed to have high hopes for Duke. He looked at the TV and said,""He and the genius have been training together for a long time and have developed a certain level of tacit understanding.”
"With the baptism of the preseason, his mentality will be much better than mine.”
"In fact, he was able to score 17 points and 17 rebounded in the first preseason game.”
"That might not be the case." Yang Yi smiled slyly." The preseason is different from the regular season.”
"Whether it's the intensity of the game or the atmosphere, which part of the preseason is better than the regular season?”
"Then what shall we bet on?" Big Yao's competitive spirit was aroused, and he looked at Yang Yi with a smile.
"I'll wash your socks for a week."
“OK! Deal!"
Dayao happily agreed and said,""Me and Dazhi are gone!"
"Now, he is our hope!”
