I am Really an Insider

On a cold winter day, the sky is overcast and there is no sunshine.

The campus of Oklahoma State University is very empty.

Even the entire Jingshui City attached to the school seemed to have turned into an empty city.

At Christmas, most students choose to go home for reunion, and major cities have become very lively, full of strong festive atmosphere.

As a university town, Jingshui City, on the contrary, became deserted.

There are not many local residents here. Without students, it is equivalent to a sudden loss of a part of the population.

It is in this empty campus, on the basketball court downstairs of No. 4 male dormitory of Oklahoma State University, that the two students who are playing are particularly eye-catching.

They're not only high-profile because they're pretty much the only two on campus, but because they're the most famous basketball players in Oklahoma right now.

At this moment, Tony Allen was staring at Wayne intently.

If he loses this game again, according to the bet, he will be in charge of today's Christmas dinner.

That's right, on Christmas Day, the way Wayne and Mr. Tony spend the holiday is to fight hand-to-hand to keep warm in the cold winter.

At this time, the 21-point bullfighting game has reached the last ball of the last game. Wayne only needs to score one more point to win this final game of confrontation.

As long as Tony Allen defends the goal, he has the hope of tying the score.

To put it bluntly, the game has come to a critical moment!

Wayne is holding the ball from outside the three-point line, and today he has been intercepted by Tony Allen over 100 million times.

Although Wayne has been practicing ball control since the beginning of the season, the ball control attribute has risen to 32.

But this value is still weak in front of Teacher Tony.

For a guy who can average more than 2 steals per game and snatch the ball from the opponent's point guard, it is very easy to snatch Wayne, who has an overweight center of gravity.

However, Wayne also has a way to deal with it. He directly pushed forward from beyond the three-point line, trying to separate Tony Allen as much as possible.

Although this cannot 100% prevent Tony Allen from completing the steal, it is better than directly breaking through the frame.

"Boom!"

Wayne slammed in, but Tony Allen didn't retreat too much.

Although it is a big misplacement, don't forget that Wayne's current confrontation ability is not that strong yet.

At this time, Tony Allen took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and go around in front of Wayne to get the ball. Fortunately, Wayne reacted quickly and immediately raised the ball to his chest with both hands, thus avoiding a mistake.

One-on-one with Tony Allen, Wayne felt that he had to tense his nerves every moment.

As long as the slightest distraction, it will fall short.

To be honest, this is much harder than the regular season.

Wayne is really glad that he has such a strong defensive teacher Tony by his side. After playing a lot of easy regular seasons, he is really afraid that if he does not advance, he will retreat.

How do you say that in China? Play chess with the stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky it gets.

Fortunately, every single duel with Tony Allen would remind Wayne that he still has many shortcomings.

The confrontation between the two was very fierce, and it didn't seem like a joke between friends at all.

After all, the outcome of this game is directly related to the wallets of the two poor ghosts.

Wayne had the ball in both hands, meaning he was completely nailed.

He can no longer continue dribbling, and his only option is to take a step-up jumper from behind the free throw line.

Tony Allen is full of confidence. Although he is only 1.96 meters, he is embarrassed to be in the show, but his height is actually only 1.93 meters.

Although he is only 1.93 meters, it may be difficult to interfere with Wayne. But Tony Allen also knows that this kind of mid-range and long-range turnaround jumper is not Wayne's strong point.

Wayne's catch-and-shoot is terrific, and his pull-ups against defenses are superb.

However, Wayne doesn't often use turnaround jumpers with his back to the basket, because the hit rate is not high.

Therefore, forcing Wayne to stop at the free throw line and hold the ball with his back to the basket, Tony Allen thought his defense was half successful.

Really. The strategy of the defensive masters.

Wayne can't help it either, he doesn't know whether the attribute of the turnaround jumper is counted in the low-post offense, or there is such a special item.

But no matter what, Wayne estimates that his turnaround jumper attributes are not high. Because he tried it, when he turned over and made a jump shot, he felt more awkward than ordinary shots or even pull-up shots.

But there is no way, now, turnaround jumper is Wayne's only choice.

Wayne turned over and took off, throwing the ball slightly bluntly.

Tony Allen really didn't interfere with Wayne, but he didn't care. He could tell from the shooting action that Wayne's shooting state just now was very average!

Teacher Tony looked back at the basketball confidently, ready to appreciate the picture of the basketball hitting the frame.

In Tony's opinion, it is better to prevent others from hitting the iron than to score goals by himself.

However, Wayne threw the ball with that slightly blunt posture, but it jumped into the net hollowly!

"This..." Tony Allen clutched his chest.

This goal made the poor teacher Tony even worse.

"Hahahahaha, I'm going to be rude tonight, Tony!" Wayne was ecstatic, because even he thought that the goal just now would not be scored.

Apparently, it was the purple "Big Heart Killer" badge that did the trick.

Not to mention, the effect of this purple badge is really against the sky.

Because Wayne discovered that as long as he was playing with Tony Allen to determine the outcome, his shooting percentage would be very high.

Even in the face of tight defense, there is a high probability of scoring goals, and this situation has happened more than once or twice, it is by no means a coincidence.

Although this badge has not played a role in the official game, at least today, this badge won Wayne a dinner.

"Damn, this goal must have been scored." Tony Allen shook his head, this Christmas was too difficult.

It's okay to be caught by Wayne to play, but he still has to take care of the food!

Speaking of which, a few months ago, Wayne and Tony Allen didn't have to fight at all.

But now, Wayne's winning percentage is half that of Tony Allen's.

"Don't worry, I can't eat and drink now. Just buy a pizza, and I'll make an exception to eat some tonight." Before Mr. Tony recovered, Wayne had already started ordering .

"Okay, I'm willing to bet, Wayne. Let's go buy it now, so that we can watch the Christmas war and have dinner at night!"

"Yeah, that's it, let's go!"

Wayne never imagined that his first Christmas in America would be accompanied by Tony Allen.

Don't say it, two people who can't go home are warming each other, which can quite resonate.

But according to the plot of third-rate novels, shouldn't Christmas today be the exclusive holiday of the hero and heroine?

What about the heroine?

Wayne shook his head.

Forget it, it's fine with Tony.

With growth points and free pizza, this Christmas Eve is perfect.

After the two bought the pizza, they ran all the way on the empty street, and when they returned to the dormitory, they immediately stood in front of the TV.

Since there is a second-hand TV in Tony Allen's dormitory, the two usually watch the game here.

Although the picture quality of this TV is impressive, for Wayne who is used to 1080P or even 4K resolution, it is simply a full-screen mosaic.

But at least the screen is dynamic, and you can watch it in the future.

"It's good to catch up. Hurry up and turn on the TV, today's Christmas game must not be missed!" Tony Allen was extremely excited. Today's Christmas game between the Lakers and Mosaic is a game he has been looking forward to for a long time.

Although Wayne is not in a hurry, he is also very interested in this game.

There is nothing more gimmick than Christmas battle + Yao Shark duel.

This game is probably also the first time that most Chinese fans know the concept of "Christmas War".

Because this is the first time in Yao Ming's NBA career, and the only time he will perform in the Christmas game.

After Wayne turned on the TV, he just started to jump the ball. The two then each took a piece of pizza and watched the game intently.

As soon as the game started, Chairman Yao received a pass from "Boss Francois" Steve Francis, and made a nimble and beautiful shot from the low post with a shake of his shoulders. He made a strong shot for Shaq and gave the team the lead.

Soon, he interfered with No. 8 Kobe's shots twice in a row at the basket, allowing Kobe to hit two irons in one round.

After passing, he used his height advantage to pull up a jumper at close range, and scored directly against Shaq's raised arm.

Watching this touching game, Wayne's hand holding the pizza was shaking.

How long has he not watched Yao Ming play like this? How long has he been so excited because of Yao Ming?

The feeling of watching the NBA back then came flooding back in an instant.

Although Yao Ming is not the greatest star in the NBA, he is definitely the star with the most special status in the eyes of a generation of Chinese fans.

Watching him play, Chinese fans always have a special emotion, which cannot be given by other foreign athletes.

At this time, Wayne finally regained this long-lost feeling.

The feeling of cheering for him every time he scored a goal, feeling sorry for him every time he missed a goal, and worrying about him every time he fell to the ground made Wayne completely stunned and completely immersed in the game.

But at the same time, Wayne also felt a little sour.

Now Yao Ming is only a second-year rookie, and he can already play back and forth with Shaq, who has won three consecutive championships.

In the eyes of outsiders, he must have a bright future, he must be the next super center, and he must be able to do what Olajuwon has also done.

Chinese fans must also be full of longing for him. I hope he can be a big success in the NBA and prove that the Chinese can do it too.

But cruelly, Wayne knew how tragic Yao Ming's final ending was.

At the most peak moment, he disappeared due to injuries.

Not to mention the championship, the best record of his career is only the second round of the playoffs.

This is the ending of this talented center on the field, an ending that only Wayne knows, and many people may not believe it.

This kind of sadness made Wayne sigh.

"What's the matter? Yao performed really well today." Seeing Wayne's inexplicable sigh, Tony Allen shrugged.

"Well, he played very excitedly and actively today." Wayne smiled wryly.

"That is, the Lakers are currently full of internal conflicts. This is a good opportunity for Mosaic to win. As long as Yao can continue to play, it will definitely change the Lakers' previous suppression of Mosaic."

"Yeah, can change change change change!?"

yes!

The history of this world is very likely to be changed because of his appearance!

Maybe, the butterfly effect has actually started to happen, but Wayne doesn't know it yet.

Perhaps, in this history, Yao Ming's career will no longer be so tragic.

It might even become brighter.

Maybe, I can create some sparks with Chairman Yao?

These are all possible.

Wayne immediately felt better, and ate the pizza in his hand in one bite.

In the end, Chairman Yao lived up to expectations and helped Mosaic win the Christmas game with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

Although Shaq scored 22 points today, 4 points more than Yao Ming, his shooting percentage was only a miserable 41%.

This shooting rate is obviously not up to par for a center who mainly attacks in the three-second zone.

So overall, Chairman Yao's performance today was actually better than Shaq's.

In the second grade, Yao Ming has been able to do a job with ease in the duel with Shaq.

The story of this Chinese giant has only just begun.

As for the ending this time, who knows?
