Back then, whenever Director Zhang watched players play, he would say this or that wasn't reasonable.

If you were double-teamed, you had to pass the ball. That was the reasonable thing to do.

But when he commentated on Yao Ming's games, this was what he sounded like:

Whenever Yao Ming scored: "That was a very reasonable shot. It showed the role Yao Ming plays as an international superstar and the team's core."

Whenever Yao Ming missed: "Good shot!" (Clang~~~ The sound of a missed shot.) "Oh, he missed. That was just a little long. Even though he missed, that was a very reasonable shot. The Rockets should keep playing like that."

Whenever another player scored: "Look, this is the impact Yao Ming has! He's drawing two or three of the opposing team's defenders under the basket, giving the other Rockets players open looks."

Whenever another player missed: "Ah, see? That was completely unreasonable. He should've passed the ball to Yao Ming!"

Whenever someone didn't pass to Yao Ming: "Yao Ming's establishing position under the basket. Look, they still aren't passing. Now they're passing it back around, and still they aren't passing. The Rockets' guards really lack passing awareness."

Whenever someone passed to Yao Ming: "Good pass! That was excellent awareness. The Rockets' guards should make more passes like that and get the ball to Yao Ming more often."

Whenever someone passed to Yao Ming and Yao Ming couldn't catch it: "Ah, another turnover. That was a terrible pass—the ball was too fast and too high. How could Yao Ming possibly catch that? They should've passed it right into his hands."

And now Director Zhang commentated on Wang Yi's games the same way.

Director Zhang had clearly noticed what Ke Fan was laughing
