Chapter 171: Play
Yu Jia smiled and changed the topic: "Let's talk about today's game. After all, there will be two Chinese people playing at the same time in today's game, and it is really rare for them to play for an N team at the same time. I believe that Chinese people will pay close attention to today's game."
Yang Yi smiled and said, "It is expected that the ratings of this game in China will be very high. After all, Wang Fei's popularity is there! Now, the enthusiasm of Chinese people to watch N games is getting higher and higher."
"I'm even less optimistic about Zhou Qi's future with the Rockets. After all, he was an optional existence. Now, Wang Fei has proved himself with strong data, so the Rockets have no need to take Zhou Qi in."
"I expect that Zhou Qi must have been with the Rockets for a short time. It is very likely that in the past few days, the Rockets will buy off Zhou Qi and let him leave. As for today's game, Zhou Qi probably won't get much time to play, and at most he can play for a few minutes." Su Qun said.
Yu Jia shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, I don't care about Zhou Qi's prospects for the Rockets. D'Antoni and the Rockets' management have long exhausted their patience with Zhou Qi. Today, recalling Zhou Qi to play the game is also to create a gimmick."
Yang Yi expressed a different view at this time: "I don't think so. Zhou Qi is still very strong. What he lacks is confidence and opportunity! If Wang Fei can support Zhou Qi and pass him a few more goals, maybe Zhou Qi can also usher in this game!"
"You know, Wang Fei's assist ability is still very strong. His passes are always timely and appropriate. Those who get the pass can basically get the opportunity to score easily. It depends on whether Wang Fei is willing to help Zhou Qi."
Su Qun shook his head and said, "It's not whether Wang Fei is willing to pass the ball to Zhou Qi, but whether D'Antoni will arrange Zhou Qi's tactics and will let go of Wang Fei's ability so that he can play on the court. If the Rockets management has decided to give up Zhou Qi, then maybe D'Antoni will not allow Wang Fei to pass too many balls to Zhou Qi."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "From the previous games, Wang Fei has a lot of ball rights. Even when he appeared with Harden, Harden often played without the ball. I think D'Antoni should not pass Wang Fei to anyone."
"Zhou Qi will probably get a chance to show himself today, and of course the last chance. If he still can't play today, then his life with the Rockets will be counted down."
Just as the three discussed, the Rockets and Cavaliers game began.
After James left, the Cavaliers' strength had dropped significantly.
The Cavaliers' performance this season can only be described as poor.
To date, their record in the Eastern Conference is also at the bottom.
The Cavaliers are not only missing James and Irving, but their powerful center Kevin Love is also recovering from injury.
Currently, the Cavaliers' main lineup is as follows.
Collin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, Smith, Saidi Osman and Tristan Thompson.
Among them, Collin Sexton is a rookie.
After the game started, the back-to-back Rockets quickly got into the state, playing very positively and richly.
Although the Cavaliers play more tenaciously, their strength is indeed not very good, and their offense has been suppressed by the Rockets.
When the first quarter reached the 10th minute, the Rockets were already leading by 13 points at 2:15.
Cavaliers head coach Larry Drew had to call a timeout.
The original head coach of the Cavaliers was Tyron Lue. The young coach coached the Cavaliers for three years and won a championship trophy.
However, this season, the Cavaliers' record is indeed too poor, so Tyron Lue became a scapegoat and was announced to be dismissed at the end of October.
And Larry Drew has not been properly promoted yet and is still just an acting head coach.
It is estimated that in the short term, Larry Drew has no hope of becoming a regular person.
Larry Drew is also a fire now.
After he took over, the Cavaliers' record did not improve significantly.
He originally thought that the Cavaliers had enough rest at home tonight, and the Rockets had just played a tough battle with the Pistons. They would definitely not be able to keep up with their physical fitness. He really wanted to win this game.
But now, I'm a little overthinking.
The strength gap between my own team and the Rockets is too big.
Rockets bench.
D'Antoni praised the performance of the main players.
Then, he turned to look at Wang Fei and said, "Wang, it's time for you to play next. At the same time, Zhou will also get 2 minutes of playing time. I hope you can cooperate well and play a wonderful game. After all, there will definitely be many Chinese fans who will pay attention to this game today."
When Wang Fei heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He thought to himself, only two minutes of playing time in Zhou Qi?
What's enough for two minutes?
Even if he passes the ball all to Zhou Qi, he can't score 15 points in 2 minutes.
Big head!
Wang Fei thought to himself that he could only try his best to help Zhou Qi score a few more goals, so that he could find confidence and get a good data. In this way, Zhou Qi might have some time to play in the future.
"Okay! Thank you for giving Zhou Qi a chance. I also believe that in this game tonight, Zhou Qi will usher in an explosion. After all, he practices so hard, and his progress is obvious to all!" Wang Fei said.
Next to him, Zhou Qi looked at Wang Fei with gratitude.
The pause is over.
Wang Fei led the Rockets' substitute to the field.
Seeing Zhou Qi and Wang Fei playing together, there was a slight commotion in the Cavaliers' stands.
"My God! The big Chinese man from the Rockets is on the court again!"
"God! The Rockets are crazy, right? Did they send two Chinese players at the same time?"
"That fool, he is a useless waste! I believe the Rockets will abandon him soon!"
"That Zhou Qi is useless! He has no offensive ability at all!"
In the stands, the fans shouted loudly.
Zhou Qi has been in the United States for more than a year, and his English communication is already very good.
So, he understood what these fans in the stands said.
His face turned red from anger.
I was actually regarded as a waste by these people?
This is simply a shame!
"Zhou Qi, don't be disturbed by those words. When you don't show your strength, it's normal to be despised. Play well! I will help you! Tonight, you can definitely become the protagonist of the game!" Wang Fei saw Zhou Qi's emotional fluctuations, looked up at him and said.
"Wang Fei, don't waste too many opportunities for me. You are also a newcomer, and you need to continue to perform. Americans are very realistic. If you perform poorly in a game, they will say a lot of bad things." Zhou Qi took a deep breath and said.
Wang Fei smiled and said, "The purpose of my game is to help you have a good performance! I use assists to prove that I am the same!"
Zhou Qi was immediately moved.
He thought to himself that Wang Fei was simply too selfless to him.
This is a friend you can date for the rest of your life!
"Thank you!" After holding it in for a long time, Zhou Qi said something.
On the live broadcast seat of China CCTV 5.
Yu Jia was very excited: "It's great! After waiting for so long, two Chinese players finally appeared on the N field at the same time."
Su Qun smiled and said, "It's unprecedented that one team will send two Chinese players to the court at the same time."
"Did you see it? Wang Fei was always whispering something with Zhou Qi. Their relationship seemed to be very good. I think Wang Fei must be telling Zhou Qi that he would give him some help on the court." Yang Yi also said with a smile.
Yu Jia shook his head gently and said, "I'm afraid, this may be Zhou Qi's only playing time in this game. If he plays for two minutes, he probably won't get any good data."
Su Qun smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If Zhou Qi obtained good data with the help of Wang Fei, he might still get a chance to play in the next game."
Yu Jia smiled bitterly and said, "I hope this can be done."
On the court, the Cavaliers served the bottom line.
Smith passed the ball to Jordan Clarkson.
Wang Fei also wanted to quickly set off an offensive storm, so he got rid of Collin Sexton's defense at the first time and rushed straight to Jordan Clarkson.
Jordan Clarkson was shocked immediately. He had watched the Rockets' last game video and knew that Wang Fei was very fast.
When he saw Wang Fei rushing to him in a flash, Jordan Clarkson immediately protected the ball with his back and wanted to pass the ball to Smith behind him.
Chapter completed!
