On July 10, 2007, the two brothers finally saw a starter for their own team.

Corey Margety, the starting small forward of the Clippers, the second leader of the team second only to Elton Brand, was very cold to the two brothers when they met for the first time, and they loved to ignore it, but fortunately they didn't let them carry their shoes and bags, otherwise with his bullish appearance, Ji Guozhi would definitely not be able to help but give him an old punch!

Compared with Ji Guoqiu's indignation, Ji Guoqiu doesn't care about this, most teams that already have a core treat rookies like this.

Rookie players want to win the respect of veteran players, only by strength, and strength can only be shown on the court, as long as they are good in the game, they will naturally be recognized by their teammates.

This morning, Ji Guoyi came together, immediately bought a few newspapers, and turned on the computer at the same time, sure enough, neither the newspaper nor the computer said anything good about them.

-- The New York Times

"The Chinese Twins went out after yesterday's inaugural Summer League game that they should be drafted by the top two, hoping it's not an early April Fool's joke."

-- Los Angeles Times

"This is a good example of arrogance and arrogance, and hopefully they can find humility, just like their compatriot Yao Ming."

Ji Guoyi glanced at the signature on the computer screen, "New York Times" was written by a columnist named Da Bundan, and the columnist of "Los Angeles Times" was named Da Sabi.

"Da Bundan? Da Sabi? What is the relationship between these two bastards? Ji Guo couldn't laugh or cry, is this a challenge to their name?

Although Ji Guoqiu was in another room, he had already moved his gaze to Ji Guoqiu, the two of them had the same gaze, and he had seen these reports the same.

"Actually, you don't need to read these newspapers, it's useless for them to say anything, tomorrow we play against the Chinese team, as long as we play well, domestic fans will know us, no matter what foreign media say, our roots are in China." After reading the report, Ji Guoqiu withdrew his gaze, practiced his strength in the room, and communicated with his younger brother in his heart.

"Boss, when it comes to tomorrow's game, I really want to see, what is the strength of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming? Will it blow us up? ”

"I'm not so optimistic, your opponent is Space Yi, we all know what his ability is, but I'm facing the current No. 1 center in the league, what do you say is the strength?"

Ji Guoqiu couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart when he thought that he was going to face a little giant with a height of 226cm and a weight of 310 pounds, he was only 230 pounds and only 211cm tall, this Nima was not played to death?

"Boss, don't worry, tomorrow I will help you defend Yao Ming with all my might, even if it makes it easy for space to get a high score. Moreover, I heard the news that Yao Ming's shoulder injury has not yet healed, and he will go into battle with an injury in the next game, so he may not be able to show much strength. ”

Ji Guosha seemed very righteous at this time, and decided to sacrifice himself to help his brother.

"No, I'm going to defend around the front, I can't hold him back, our reach is the only chance. You don't have to help me, I'm not ashamed to be blown up by Yao Ming, you have to blow up Space Yi, understand? ”

Ji Guoqiu knew that it didn't matter if he lost to Yao Ming, it was normal for a rookie to be blown up by an All-Star. But Ji Guoyan is different, yesterday's words pushed him to the forefront, so he must not be abnormal during this time, he must have an excellent performance in every game, at least until this turmoil calms down.

Both of them focused on the game against the Chinese team, and the domestic media reports in the past few days are all related to this game, nothing else, just because this is a Chinese civil war, and there are two Chinese Americans in the Clippers team, or twins, full of gimmicks!

Domestic fans actually know very little about the two, and most of the reports are picked up by the domestic media from foreign media, so most of them are not positive reports.

However, Chinese fans are not stupid, they know that they can be selected by the NBA, and it is still the first round, how can they have some strength. Just like Sun Yue, who has only played for so many years and is only a second-round show, Ji Guoqiu is the 21st, and he is the highest draft pick of Chinese people except Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Although the reports of the domestic media are all copied, they are also completely copied, and at least the physical measurements of the two can also be found on the domestic portal.

Fans see the physical measurement number of the two, and it is not difficult to find that the athletic ability of the two is obviously better than that of Space Yi, especially the 228cm arm span of the two, which is much longer than Yao Ming.

Domestic fans also attach great importance to the age of the two, compared to the age of 19 years old, the two brothers grew up in an orphanage abroad, and they couldn't fake it at all, they were really 19 years old.

After the first game of the two brothers, many people in China immediately became fans of the two, the reason is very simple, just because the Chinese team lost their first game in the United States, and they were thrown to their grandmother's house!

In the first summer league game of the Chinese team, against the "Sacramento Kings", in the face of such an NBA weak team, the domestic media was optimistic before the game, and the confidence of the Chinese team was also very high. But the final result was cruel, the Chinese men's basketball team's first game in the United States, set a record for the lowest score in the history of the men's basketball team, they lost 47:73 to the league's fish belly king, and what is even more embarrassing is that the king team is not full of main players.

Space Yi's opponent was Garcia, who was only 2.01cm tall, but Yi Di only handed in 2 of 14 shots, and only scored 9 points, 7 rebounds and 5 turnovers in the game.

Although Yao Ming did not recover from a shoulder injury and did not participate in this game, he should not play such a record in the face of the same main lineup that is not complete, only rookies and substitute players.

On the other hand, the two brothers of the Ji family, each of them had a good table in the first game, and Ji Guoyi scored 25 points, and the table was better than the champion Auden the Great and Durant.

The diametrically opposite results on both sides made many domestic fans transfer their hopes to the two brothers for a while, and in this game between the Clippers and the Chinese team, many fans who hate iron and steel also want the two brothers to teach the Chinese team a lesson.

On July 10, Yao Ming announced that he would play in the game between the Chinese team and the Clippers.

Domestic fans now know that the Chinese team finally doesn't have to lose so badly, the Chinese team with Yao Ming and the Chinese team without Yao Ming are completely two teams, even if it is Yao Ming who is injured.

On July 11, Las Vegas local time, at 19:30 p.m., 9:30 a.m. Beijing time, this game that was particularly concerned by domestic fans was held at the "Cox Pavelian Stadium", which can accommodate 20,000 people, today was full, at least 5,000 Chinese fans came to the scene, and Chad looked a little like a domestic game.

In this game, the Chinese team sent: Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming's starting lineup, roughly gave up the starting position to Space Yi, which is in the United States after all, considering that Space Yi has just been selected by the Bucks this year, it is obviously not appropriate to let him be a substitute, so he can only sacrifice Wang Zhizhi.

In the first game against the Kings, if there is anyone in the Chinese team who is eye-catching? That is Wang Zhizhi, who is 30 years old.

Dunleavy Sr. also announced the starting lineup in the locker room: Smush Parker, Quinton Rose, Corey Margetty, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

"Today, 'Brother' used a forward defense, that 310-pound big guy, it's not something you can resist." The younger brother's got a chance to wrap up, and Corey was on the lookout for their No. 6 rookie. ”

Old Dunleavy knew that Ji Guoqiu only had the opportunity to restrict Yao Ming if he used it to go around.

In the Clippers, the teammates and coaches of the two brothers also couldn't recognize the two, and they couldn't remember their tongue twister names, so they simply called "brother" and "brother" to distinguish them.

The two brothers look exactly the same, there are disadvantages and advantages, in addition to the enemy is easy to distinguish and easy to confuse, their teammates also have the same problem, looking at the jersey number sometimes there is no time to distinguish, it is easy to pass the wrong ball. You know, the skills of these two people are very different, and once the wrong person is passed, the whole tactic fails.

Today, the ccav5 station will broadcast the game live, and fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, waiting to see the inside battle of the "Chinese Derby".

Ji Guoqiu + Ji Guoqi VS Yao Ming + Yi Jianlian, fans are excited to think about it!

Before the start of the game, Ji Guoqiu took the initiative to greet his compatriots.

"Hello, Yao, I'm your fan."

Ji Guoqiu walked to Yao Ming's side and said politely in Chinese that although he had spent several years in Canada and the United States, his Chinese was still very standard.

Yao Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect this Chinese compatriot to take the initiative to come up to say hello, he reacted quickly and quickly stretched out his hand politely.

"I read your report, I thought you grew up in an orphanage and couldn't speak Chinese, but I didn't expect your Chinese to be so good."

Ji Guoqiu said with a smile: "In Vancouver, if you know Chinese, you won't get lost." Most of the orphanages we grew up in were of Chinese descent. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and the players of the Chinese team were also interested, obviously feeling that it was very new to see such a compatriot player abroad.

Ji Guoqiu talks elegantly, completely different from Ji Guoqiu, and his words are humorous, and these players of the Chinese national team have a good first impression of him.

Yao Ming wondered: "What about your brother, why don't you let him come over to get to know him?" ”

Ji Guoqiu said directly: "He can't speak, he offends people when he speaks, he just said wildly a few days ago, saying that he is better than Oden and Durant, and now I don't dare to let him go out alone." ”

Ji Guoyi pursed his lips on the other side, and said secretly in his heart: "Obviously, you won't let me go, worried that I will offend people, do you want to join the Chinese team?" Do you want to compete in the Beijing Olympics? ”

Although the two have a heart-to-heart connection, when they don't use telepathy, the two still have their own independent thoughts, and only when they are telepathic, they can know each other's thoughts.

"That's right, I want to participate in the Olympics, we were originally Chinese, and now these two bodies are also Chinese, when we play at the level, we will change back to Chinese nationality, so you don't get into trouble, move cleanly for a while, and the opposite side will be our teammates in the future."

Ji Guoqiu admitted his thoughts in his heart, he knew that his brother's style of play was not very clean, and especially asked Ji Guoqiu not to make enemies with the players of the Chinese team, so as not to cause trouble.

"Okay, you're the boss, you call it out." Ji Guoyan responded indifferently.
