As the first focus battle of the NBA New Year, the Knicks' away game against the Rockets was a huge hit.

Of course, there is another reason why this game is eye-catching.

Because as early as last summer, the Rockets had decided to retire Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey when he played for the Rockets.

In Lin Yi's previous life, the Rockets had to wait 17 years to retire the Yaoyao jersey, but in this life, perhaps because Yaoyao has almost become a Knicks legend, in order to retain the so-called Chinese complex and a large number of Chinese fans, the Rockets retired the Yaoyao jersey one year ahead of schedule in Lin Yi's life.

I have to say that this is a pretty wise decision.

Because Lin Yi has won the championship in this life, it is a foregone conclusion that Yaoyao won the championship in the future. When the Rockets retired the Yaoyao jersey at this time, they can not only gain reputation but also earn a wave of feelings. Why don't you do it?

Moreover, the Rockets chose to retire the Yaoyao jersey, which was a clever choice, and they chose the game where the Knicks challenged the Rockets away from home in the New Year.

You know, retired Yao’s jersey in this game will definitely make the attention of this Nigerian War war in China.

In addition to the retired Yao Dayi jersey, the Rockets official has officially announced that they will retire McGrady's jersey in the future.

Obviously, the Rockets are laying the foundation for future contract renewals.

Ha? You said that retiring a jersey has a relationship with Harden's contract renewal?

Haha, the relationship here is so big.

In this life, before Lin Yi joined the Knicks, why did the Knicks pay luxury taxes every year but be responsible for being funny every year?

The reason is very simple, because the New Yorker did not give Ewing a good death. No one except Marbury and Anthony, who were born in New York, wanted to be the second gorilla.

So this is also the reason why the Lakers always make money.

Because of the team's reputation and market, fans are very important when renewing the team's superstar contract.

Look at Wade, wasn’t he kicked out of Miami just because he was blind?

The Rockets decided to retire Yao Mai's jersey, which is equivalent to indirectly telling Harden that you should play with confidence, we will give you the money you should give you, and we will give you the treatment you should give you, and the honor you should give you will not be less.

In fact, in the NBA, the value of retiring jerseys is no worse than winning the championship.

Because in the future, Xiaoyao will not have many young juniors who come to Toyota Center to play basketball. The first thing they look up is your name.

Of course, Yao Yao deserves such an honor.

It's not just because his career has become more brilliant in this life. Just because of the financial crisis that year, only the Rockets were making money in the entire NBA, the Rockets should retire Yao's jersey.

If it weren't for Yao Ming, would the NBA be so popular in China?

Do you really think the popularity of NBA is brought about by 8.1 billion Kemi?

January 2, Toyota Center.

Tonight, Dayao appeared in formal attire.

In a sense, Yao Yao is the protagonist tonight.

Lin Yi, who is familiar with "Emotional Intelligence" and "Face", tactfully gave up the stage of throwing magnesium powder before the game.

Although Yao Yao insisted in an interview that Lin Yi is the number one person in Chinese basketball history, Yao Yao didn't know that it was. In Lin Yi's heart, only Yao Yao himself can afford this first place.

Who is the man who stole Lin Yi’s headlines?

Only Yao Ming.

Well, Yao Yao has become a fat man now.

TNT TV's live commentator, when Yao Dayan's jersey was raised in the Toyota Center, Yao Dayan's old rival O'Neal also took the lead in standing up and applauding Yao Ming.

Although Harden is the cornerstone of this Rockets at present, if you have never been to the Toyota Center, don’t randomly evaluate Yao’s position in the hearts of Rockets fans.

When Yao Zhige sounded again on the entire court, Yao's eyes began to moisten.

At the end of the jersey retirement ceremony, the Rockets and the Knicks players lined up in two rows and used applause to send the giant to the sideline seat.

"What kind of scene will my jersey be when I retire in the future?" Lin Yi thought with emotion.

...

After the Rockets successfully deceived the Rockets into tears, it was obvious that tonight even many Chinese fans began to support the Rockets.

Of course, only tonight.

However, this wave of marketing for the Rockets is perfect, but no matter what purpose the Rockets retired from the Yao Dynasty jersey, it is a good thing for Yao himself.

After the jersey retirement ceremony, the live screen of the Toyota Center also gave the two teams tonight.

The Knicks are still Gobert, Jokic, Lin Yi, Clay, and the All-Stars of the Dynasty Cannon tonight.

The Rockets are the Mad Dogs lineup of Dream Chasing, Tucker, Ariza, Harden and Beverly.

To be honest, in terms of the Rockets lineup, which tm is a single core?

Although it seems that the Rockets only have the All-Star, Harden, in fact, the defense line formed by Dream Chasing, Tucker, Ariza and Beverly can be evaluated as the best defensive lineup, right?

To put it bluntly, NBA is always a data league. For fans and judges, scorers are more likely to be seen by everyone.

So don’t worry about whether chatting was strong or not back then, but people scored high and had high popularity. What’s wrong? If you have the ability, you can bite the basket.

Lin Yi would not underestimate this Rockets, because in Lin Yi's opinion, this Rockets have the strength to compete for the Western Conference championship in the currently cruel West.

In this life, Harden, who has become good friends with Zhu Meng, likes Zhu Meng very much, because players like Harden who likes to play tricks will inevitably anger their opponents in the game. However, every time when they encounter trouble, Zhu Meng will always use his Feng Shen legs to help Harden solve such troubles.

In addition, after obtaining Tucker from the Suns, the rocket has officially taken off.

Because the defense line consists of Dream Chasing, Tucker, Tieza and Mad Dog Bell, it will be fine even if Harden opens the Sharingan in the whole game.

This is why Harden can perform in December, because Harden can devote his energy to the offensive end.

Both the Rockets and the Knicks played against Xia Jiba. It seems that their offensive firepower is very strong, but in fact, when attacking, both teams can use defense to earn a mid-price.

To put it bluntly, data can deceive people.

If you only look at the average score, the defense of these two teams is very bad.

But if you look at defensive efficiency, the Knicks are currently ranked second and the Rockets are ranked third.

And the essence of Xia Jiba's fight is here. I can kill you by random punches, not because my military fist is so great, but because you can't break my iron barrel formation.

In Lin Yi's small notebook, the Rockets this season have been highlighted by him.

Although the Warriors are very strong, the Knicks must also be on guard against the Rockets.

...

Before the game started, Lin Yi even joked with Yao Yao, "Brother, don't you mind if I beat the Rockets, do you?"

At that time, Yao Yao's round face, full of stubborn, immediately became embarrassed, "Don't worry, I was also a member of the Knicks back then."

Yao Yao’s implication is that it doesn’t matter which of these two teams loses and wins. Anyway, if the Rockets win, he will congratulate the Rockets as the Rockets’ celebrity. As for the Knicks’ winning, it’s even easier, because Yao Yao is also a Knicks’ celebrity, right?

I have to say that emotional intelligence is something that is really not something that everyone has in NBA.

Take Lin Yi's teammate Kobe in the simulation space for example. In these two games that he played in the simulation space recently, Kobe was in a little mood again, because after being provoked by his opponent for a few words, he refused to play a pick-and-roll with Lin Yi.

Even in the competition, Lin Yi was treated as Ma Long that year.

"Put your damn pick-and-roll!" Kobe, who was fighting Drexler at the time, said to Lin Yi.

Well, why didn’t Ao Pang kill this?

Lin Yi was very angry, but he was helpless.

But then again, Lin Yi has not gained nothing after being abused in the simulation space recently.

For example, his mentality is already more peaceful than before.

Heartbroken?

Haha, I'm not afraid of Kobe being stung, I'm still afraid of being heartbroken?

"I'm lucky!" Lin Yi, who scored the pick-and-roll terminator before Gobert and Zhu Mengju Jumping started the game, smiled.

For some reason, before the game started, Harden felt his anus tightening.

Because Lin Yi's eyes were always staring at him.

Obviously, even if Ha Xiaopang is low-key, his ambitions have long been exposed.

"Strange, I only shared my joy with Stephen after winning the Knicks last time." Harden touched his beard and fell into deep thought.

So, even if the IQ is good, Harden will be stupid.

Because he shared his joy after defeating Lin Yi with Curry, isn’t it equivalent to slashing Lin Yi’s heart in front of him?

As for the relationship between Botao brothers sleeping on the upper and lower bunks back then, how could Curry not tell Lin Yi?

Therefore, in order to win this first New Year battle, Lin Yi has been preparing for a long time.

Tonight, the firepower will be fully opened!

Because Lin Yi really wants to kill Harden.
