Happy Cow experienced seven consecutive victories and completely wiped out the bad reputation of four consecutive losses.

The media also quickly changed their attitude, from mockers to adoration and praise. Some reporters even predicted in reports that this Bulls team, which has gone through more than half a season of hard work, already has the strength to win eight consecutive games.

The next team against the Bulls is Dayao's Rockets.

Houston's performance this season was not very good. After sending away Tracy McGrady, Yao also missed a period of time due to injury. Therefore, the team's performance was quite poor.

Currently ninth in the Western Conference, there is only one win difference with the eighth-place San Antonio Spurs, and the Rockets have one fewer loss than the Spurs.

Therefore, for the Rockets, this season's regular season has reached the end. As long as Houston can win this game, they will have a chance to enter the playoffs.

Therefore, the entire Rockets team, from coaches to players, pays special attention to this game with the Bulls.

The result of this game is of great significance to Houston, and the Mosaic team will finally exert its strength.

As the core of the team, Dayao leads by example and personally increases the intensity and time of training. This makes the Rockets coaching staff happy but also urges Dayao to be careful not to get injured.

…

Let's go back and look at the Bulls.

Having just ended their seven-game winning streak, all the players on the Happy Cow training ground were smiling and in a great mood.

I bought a bunch of newspapers from various places, and the players who had a break from training would go and read them. After a while, they would be resurrected with full health, and then they would be active in training.

Everyone has fallen in love with this wonderful winning streak experience, and they have not forgotten the torture of the four-game losing streak. Therefore, the entire Happy Cow is preparing for the next game, hoping to continue this happy winning streak.

longer.

It's one thing to have looked away intellectually, but who wouldn't be happy looking at the exaggerated praises in the newspapers?

And Su Yi is also working hard in training.

A few days later, he will face Big Brother Dayao in Houston. He must be in the best condition and exert his best strength to express his respect for Dayao.

After the first day of training, he made a phone call to Dayao.

At that time, it was four o'clock in the afternoon US time, but the phone was busy and the call was not connected.

After Su Yi returned home, took a hot shower, and lay comfortably on the sofa eating a nutritious vegetable salad, Dayao's call came back.

"Su, I'm sorry, I just finished training and I called you when I saw your phone number." Dayao took the phone and apologized happily with a smile. He also missed Su Yi a little.

"Brother Yao, am I interrupting your training? By the way, you are training so late, so I have to work hard. Don't let your 20 points shave off the game the day after tomorrow." Su Yi listened to the familiar voice coming from the microphone.

The voice couldn't help but smile.

"I don't know your strength yet, and I can't help it. The Rockets need to enter the playoffs. Every next game is particularly important. We have a reason to win. As a core player, I have to strengthen training.

, to ensure my condition that day." Seeing that there were no teammates left in the locker room, Dayao explained to Su Yi.

Su Yi deliberately made a joke: "Hey, Brother Yao, do you want me to let you go tomorrow so that you can win the game easily?"

Dayao must have laughed and cursed: "Su, you are also bad at learning. I don't believe your coach will agree to what you do. Tomorrow, we will each rely on our strength. If we can't make it to the playoffs, we won't make it."

Go, Su Yi, don’t forget, our biggest goal is not the playoffs, but the World Championships in the near future. The reason why I train hard is not just to win in the league."

"Brother Yao, you are right. Tomorrow we will compete on the court, and then discover our own problems and reach our best state before the World Championships." When it came to business, Su Yi restrained his smile and spoke in a tone of voice.

Serious and serious.

Su Yi, like Dayao, had a deep-rooted love for the motherland, a patriotism that would not care about their own country even if they were shattered to pieces.

"Haha, very good, let's not talk about it for now. I haven't changed my clothes yet, and your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home. By the way, you always say you are busy. When are you free to come to my house? Your sister-in-law has been talking about you these days.

Here." Dayao enthusiastically invited Su Yi to sit at his home.

"Okay Brother Yao, you go ahead and go and see you and your sister-in-law if I have time." Su Yi hung up the phone and lay on the sofa with his head in his hands, thinking about the World Championships in his mind.

He has been immersed in the league for so long that he almost forgot about the national team.

Dayao's words reminded him that maybe he should adjust the training intensity and time.

Fighting for oneself is life, fighting for dreams is ideal, and fighting for brothers is loyalty.

However, Su Yi believes that playing for the honor of the motherland is an obligation engraved in one's bones.

Being able to contribute one's blood to the strength of the motherland and the Chinese men's basketball team is the only real dream of a Chinese professional basketball player.

…

Toyota Center.

In the United States, on March 19, 2010, the Bulls ushered in their 68th game, and their opponent was naturally the Houston Rockets.

Fans flocked to the arena and lined up in long rows at the entrance. Especially the Chinese fans in Houston looked excitedly at the entrance in front.

Today is another match between Dayao and Super Su. Fans are looking forward to the fierce collision between Dayao, who has recovered from injury, and Su Yi, the shot-blocking king who has been gaining momentum recently.

In the locker room, Su Yi sat calmly on a stool, waiting for his teammates to change clothes. He had already finished everything.

After Dayao's advice, Su Yi has changed his mind. Eight consecutive victories and playoffs are all just a cloud. He takes advantage of the league's competitive conditions and pays attention to every game to hone his skills and prepare for the World Championships.

Denagro looked at the rock-steady Su Yi and was extremely satisfied. He believed that Su Yi had put aside his fame and fortune and focused on the basketball game itself.

Under Su Yi's calm eyes, the Bulls teammates were also affected and became calm.

…

Cheering, shouting, lights, music... Su Yi was already very familiar with all this, and when he saw Dayao's tall figure, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Brother Yao, I feel like you are in good condition today. I will have to give my best in a while." Su Yi and Dayao hugged each other warmly and then said.

"Haha, I think you are in better condition. However, I will not lose the game easily. You must be prepared. Our team will try our best in this game." Yao warned his younger brother with a smile.

"Brother Yao, come on." Su Yi said to Dayao and then returned to the team.

…

Bulls starting lineup: Rose, Hinrich, Su Yi, Gibson, Noah.

Rockets starting lineup: Aaron Brooks, Kevin Martin, Trevor Ariza, Luis Scola, Yao Ming.

There was no suspense about the jump ball. Noah was no match for Yao, and the ball naturally fell into the hands of the Rockets.

After the Rockets point guard Brooks dribbled the ball through half court, he saw Dayao reaching for the ball after getting stuck in the paint, so he used his skilled passing skills to send the ball to Dayao.

After Dayao received the ball, he patted the ball and hit the basket. He felt Noah's confrontation and found that his own confrontation was stronger.

Shaking his left shoulder, Yao immediately turned around and shot a jumper.

Noah had already jumped up with all his strength, but he still watched helplessly as the ball flew high over his head.

Dayao's height determines his super high shooting point, and Noah is really helpless.

"Whoosh!"

Dayao's hand feels so steady, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Su Yi walked up to Dayao and said, "Brother Yao, you are so powerful, but I have to use my strength in the next round."

"No problem, just come on." Dayao patted Su Yi on the back and then returned to defense.

The Chinese fans in the audience couldn't help but be moved when they saw the deep brotherly love between the two Chinese basketball geniuses on the court.

This is the strong cohesion of Chinese people abroad.

When Chinese people leave the embrace of their motherland and encounter various challenges and hardships, they will cherish the compatriots around them with the same skin color and hair color, and form a united group to jointly fight against the difficulties of living in a foreign country.

The brotherly love between Su Yi and Yao Ming struck a chord in their hearts, reminding them of their relatives and friends across the ocean.

When they were in China, they also got along well with their brothers and friends in this way.

…

Because of Yao's presence in this game, Rose dribbled the ball across half court with great discernment and handed it over to Su Yi's hands.

Su Yi smiled at Rose and expressed his gratitude to his brother. Then the smile faded from his face, and a sharp cold air burst out from his face.

Trevor Ariza, who was facing Su Yi, felt nervous. The pressure Su Yi gave him was completely unlike a rookie.

However, Ariza still stretched his long arms as much as possible and used his excellent wingspan to limit Su Yi's breakthrough.

Su Yi observed Ariza's defense for a while and found that it was indeed impeccable and had no flaws.

So, Su Yi moved, like a chariot, exploding towards the left at full speed, as if he was going to crush everything with terrifying momentum.

Ariza's reaction was not slow, but under the dual effects of Su Yi's super speed and strength, he was still forcefully defeated by Su Yi.

After Su Yi passed Ariza in one step, he immediately stopped and jumped to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

This goal is exactly the same as Yao's last goal, so stable and accurate.

The Chinese golden generation of that era had this kind of good touch that was achieved through hard training.

The Chinese fans in the audience cheered loudly. They cheered for Su Yi's goal. This is the pride of the yellow race and the glory of the Chinese.

Dayao walked up to Su Yi with a smile on his face: "This ball is not bad."

"Hey, Brother Yao, just watch my performance later." Su Yi's face was full of confidence.

After more than 60 regular season games, Su Yi has been able to stabilize his statistical performance, so just one goal is just a snack for Su Yi, nothing to worry about.
