The score difference is tightly locked, leaving no hope.
There is only the last one minute and thirty seconds left in the game.
As Chen Xi faced Harden's Three-Pointer in the next attack, the game gradually lost its suspense.
At the last minute, no miracle happened.
After Westbrook's last Three-Pointer ball hit the board, the game officially ended.
Touch came too late. Even if Three-Pointer hit the target, it was probably not because of Touch.
In the end, Rockets defeated Thunder 129 to 121 and won the game.
James·Harden made 20 of 31 shots from the field and scored 52 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Face-to-face, Chen Xi made 17 of 25 shots from the field and scored 43 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists. Unfortunately, it was nothing.
The two current top scorers contributed a wonderful performance.
The only drawback is that the performance of the other All-Stars on the field was not very good.
Westbrook, made 6 of 17 shots, only scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists.
Anthony·Davis made 7 of 15 shots and scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
Chris·Paul made 5 of 13 shots and scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.
The game was officially over. Chen Xi returned to the locker room. After a simple wash, he put on his regular clothes and arrived at the agreed place.
Yao's nanny car has been waiting here for a long time.
After entering the car, Chen Xi looked at the giant in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
With a height of 2.26 meters, it would be quite painful anywhere else except on the playing field.
When sitting in the car, you should lower your head slightly.
"I played well tonight and my eyes were opened." Yao smiled at him.
"It's okay, Touch is okay, but it's a pity that Harden is still strong and I can't beat him." Chen looked sad and started to pretend to be pitiful.
"Hahahaha, Harden is indeed very powerful. His scoring ability is the highest among all the people I have ever seen. Of course, so are you."
"I can't be counted. Compared with Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Anthony, Iverson, Harden, I'm still far behind."
"When you come to me, you become humble. Really, the highest score in my career is not as high as any of you tonight." (Yao's career highest score was 41 points in a single game against Hawks.)
"Then the center will have to suffer some losses in this aspect after all. In history, apart from the prehistoric super giants, the only ones who can score such high scores are O'Neal, right? Oh, and Admiral~~"
Chen automatically ignores those who have not yet typed that kind of data, 9lnb~~
Back forward, not center, no~~
The two chatted for a while in the car and soon arrived at their destination.
An ordinary western restaurant in Houston.
Not the once famous Yao Restaurant.
During the time when Yao Ming became famous, that restaurant was extremely popular.
But now, Yao Ming has been retired for 7 years.
Time always makes people forget many things.
Today, Yao Restaurant has two branches, one is closed and the other is empty.
In the final analysis, relying on celebrity effects to drive customer traffic is not a long-term solution.
But fortunately, Yao itself is not short of money, so you don't have to rely on this to make money.
After arriving in the private room, the two of them sat down and stopped talking about things on the court.
"It's better in China. Mobile payment has become popular, but here you still have to carry your wallet with you all day long."
"That's true. I haven't used U. S. dollars for a long time."
After all, this is the first time the two of them have met, so there will always be some unfamiliar topics.
Fortunately, Yao has a high emotional intelligence and is quite talkative, while Chen is famous for being a talkative person.
The communication between the two was relatively smooth and harmonious.
It wasn't until he was done drinking and eating that Yao Ming got back to business.
"Chen Xi, what do you think about returning to China to play ball? Do you have any ideas?"
Still here, after the pleasant meal, the main event has just arrived.
"Return to China to play. Do you mean the national team, or... CBA?" Let's pretend to be stupid first~~
"Of course it's the national team. How can CBA accommodate a great player like you? Maybe when you are approaching forty, you can consider it." Yao got straight to the point.
"Ah hahaha, haha, to be honest, I am willing to go back to play ball, but..."
"If you have any concerns, you can tell us and we'll see if we can resolve them together."
"After all, I am not Chinese, in terms of nationality."
"This problem can be solved. It will take some time and process. I can help you advance it."
"Then can my grandfather do it too? He used to..."
"I know this is difficult in theory, but if you can come back and perform well in world-class events, I think that won't be a problem."
"Also, you are also someone who has played in the NBA. You should know the intensity of NBA games, 82 games a year Regular season, and Playoffs..."
"Hmm."
"You should also know the reason for your retirement. I still attach great importance to my career."
"You mean, you return to China frequently to participate in competitions in the summer, right?"
"Yes, I personally feel that it is unnecessary. Frequent games are too much of a burden. Not only you, but also how many people have had their careers end prematurely due to this reason. Look at it now, Rose almost can't find a ball to play with."
"This issue can be negotiated and discussed."
"Can you make the decision? On these issues?"
"... I can go back and help you raise issues and discuss them together. I think these issues are still acceptable."
Code...
Chen Xi My heart sank, I knew it.
Obviously, there must be resistance.
"Then let's do these first. I think if it can be solved, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't work... there's nothing we can do about it."
"Well, I understand, and I will work hard to promote this matter. This is what I should do in this position now."
Yao knows very well that for young people like Chen Xi, especially those who grew up in the United States, there is no need to use national justice to suppress them. Peaceful communication is the correct method.
After all, people who grew up in the United States and have not been influenced by red education may not have such firm intentions.
Of course, what he doesn't know is that the guy in front of him actually has a red brain. If he really puts pressure on justice, he might really compromise, but if he does that, it's not necessarily a happy ending...
After the more serious exchange at the end of the meal, the two of them got up and prepared to go back to their respective homes.
