The reporters were not at all surprised that Dugg gave such an answer.

Because this is the difference between Du Ge and Yao Shu.

In the eyes of the media, Yao Shu has always been a humorous image, he never does provocative things, nor does he say words with the smell of gunpowder. Even if he is violated on the court, he is reluctant to clash with his opponent, and even takes the initiative to pull him up after provoking his opponent to fall.

Such behavior is impossible to see in Duge.

Although he is also very humorous, he is also very personable. But he was never magnanimous and he never showed kindness on the pitch. Not to mention that he knocked his opponent to the floor more than once and turned around, but whoever provoked him before the game, which one was not beaten by him? It is said that the Nuggets were cut by him in groups in the locker room a few days ago, and now JR Smith's broken nose and Kenyon Martin's injured arm have become NBA mysteries.

It's just that... Can he really slap Ron Artest in the face tonight?

Artai is a true defensive stalwarts who has not only won the Defensive Player of the Year, but also broken the ribs of the basketball god.

With Dugg's lame offensive skills, it won't be easy to score 15 points against his tight defense.

Reporters couldn't help but worry about Duge.

……

Before the start of the game, Duge went over to say hello to Yao Shu when the Rockets entered the court to warm up and had a brief chat. Then go back to the dressing room and get ready for tonight's game.

TNT will broadcast the game live across the United States, and three commentators even showed the importance they attach to the game.

Fifteen minutes before the official start of the game, they were already connected to the live broadcast signal.

Earl Johnson was the first to introduce the background of the Chinese derby, then took the time to gossip about the secrets of the Denver dressing room, and then teased Snoopy's rumored girlfriend. Finally, we talked about the donkey.

"Ben Wallace emphasized that there is no difference between Ron Artest and Kevin Garnett, they are both the kind of pseudo-tough guys who talk tough."

Earl Johnson recaps today's daytime news.

The 'donkey incident' involved Ben Wallace, who had just finished his away game at North Shore Gardens when TNT reporters interviewed Ben Wallace. During the game, he had a fierce clash with the Celtic players: the clash was provoked by Kevin Garnett, but when the bayonet was red, he hid behind Perkins and only dared to constantly put pressure on the referee with his mouth.

This made Ben Wallace scoff, so when the reporter mentioned this incident, he did not hesitate to compare Artest who beat the fans.

And he repeatedly said: "How can that guy compare to a puppy?" A puppy can get him into the ICU with a single fist. And... How dare a guy floating around laugh at Mr. Four Pairs? Who gave him courage? Did he really think he was one of the Big Three of Rockets? ”

Ben Wallace on the screen looked disdainful.

Although he hasn't had a rough time in Cleveland lately, he does have the courage to lash out at Ron Artest. After all, he was the victor in the battle of the palace in Auburn Hills.

"So... Listening to Ben Wallace, will Snoopy bring his fists to the Circle tonight? Charles Barkley quipped, staring at the screen in front of him.

"Do you think Ron Artest will be afraid of Snoopy?" Rocket legend Kenny Smith is on Artay's side: "Ron is one size bigger than Snoopy. ”

"Carmelo Anthony is also one size older than Snoopy, and he didn't take advantage of Snoopy." Barkley said disapprerovingly. When he was playing basketball, he was good at 'playing big with small', so he was not interested in 'height theory' and 'body theory'.

As the two argued with each other, the time for the game came quickly.

Before the start of the game, the Miami Heat specially arranged a lion and dragon dance performance, which was full of Chinese flavor.

In order to maintain this atmosphere of the 'Chinese Derby', Duge even stood on the middle line and jumped the ball with Yao Shu.

When the 193-year-old Du Ge stood in front of Yao Shu, who had an official height of 226 and an actual height of 230, the visual contrast was full of joy.

"Standing in front of Du Ge, Yao Shu is the real Great Wall!!"

The host of CCTV said with emotion at the picture.

And the hundreds of millions of Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV and waiting all have the same feeling: Du Ge and Yao Shu are two completely different extremes. One is good at offense, the other is good at defense. One is a pure tall center, and the other is a sword that goes off the rails and plays more American than American.

Backbite!

When the whistle Crawford blew the game, Yao Shu and Duge jumped at the same time.

Syllable!

Dugg completed his counterattack against Yao Shu in almost milliseconds, and he slapped the basketball hard to Mario Chammos.

Chammos kept the ball and moved forward steadily.

At this point... The starting lineup for the Heat is: Mario Money, Dugg, Michael Beasley, Sean Marion, Margo Loyle.

On the Rockets' side: Aaron Brooks, Sean Battle, Ron Artest, Luis Scola, Yao Shu.

Judging from the lineup, the Rockets simply beat the Heat. The two teams are not on the same level at all.

Dugg ran to the three-point line to receive the basketball, and Ron Artest immediately followed up and set up his defensive position.

Despite his foul mouth, his defensive position is beyond reproach: he is the man who can win the Defensive Player of the Season award as an outside player.

"I'm guessing you've heard what I said at TNT."

Ron Artest told Dug with a relaxed face: "I said this on purpose, it's a psychological tactic. If you force your pursuit of scoring, then your team will die faster. And if you ignore my trash talk and indulge directly, then... I will get a greater sense of accomplishment. ”

"But even if you force yourself to score. You still don't get 15 points. Frankly, I'm just playing a 'cat and mouse game.'"

Artest even shrugged his shoulders as he said this.

He's studied Dug's game and knows how inferior his scoring ability is. So... With so much attention to the 'China Derby', why not create something to steal the limelight?

Dugg ignored his trash talk, he just lowered his head.

Glancing at the penalty area out of the corner of his eye, he has been calculating the three-second defense time of Luis Scola and Yao Shu.

In the first attack of the game, he didn't want to pass the ball.

When Yao Shu and Luis Scola move to his desired position, bam!

He slammed the ball hard, and then sped towards Artest's right with a swift body...... This is the only flaw that Artest has exposed.
