After beating the Celtics, the Warriors returned to San Francisco for their first back-to-back game of the season, where they faced the Rockets on the 17th against the Rockets who had played in the preseason before taking on the Magic led by Howard on the 18th.

The Warriors and Rockets game is not only broadcast live in the United States, but also in China, Yao Ming and Chamberlain, the Olympic teammates played each other for the first time in the regular season, attracting many fans to watch the game - especially in China, almost every sports fan is waiting for this game to come, Chamberlain and Yao Ming are the pride of the Chinese sports world, and their box office appeal is so high that the Rockets and Warriors make a smile.

"in the same room, brothers on the wall, the NBA staged the Spring and Autumn Warring States version of boiled beans and burning beans, is the beans harder or the beans more resistant to burning? Let's focus on this game, the Warriors vs. the Rockets, Chamberlain and Yao Ming battle it out for the league's No. 1 center. ”

"As the so-called command of the rivers and lakes, the sword slays the dragon, and the sky does not come out, who will compete? Who is stronger between Chamberlain and Yao Ming, let's wait and see what happens in this game! ”

Listening to the words of the commentators of one TV station, Chamberlain's fans and Yao Ming's fans have been disturbing on the Internet, the game has not yet been played, the fans have fought first, and there is a war of words everywhere on the Internet, but in this battle, it is still Chamberlain's fans who have the upper hand, but Yao Ming has a thick foundation, many old fans, and some people are rebellious, you all support Chamberlain, then I will support Yao Ming, so that the two sides are evenly matched.

In the words of Chamberlain fans: "What about the sword slaying dragons and divine swords, Yao Ming is qualified to compete for the position of the league's No. 1 center with Z?" Who is Chamberlain, the first team of the rookie season, the best defensive player, the best defensive team, the best rookie, damn it, what does Yao Ming compare with him? Even if you want to compare, it's the pinnacle O'Neill or the current Howard, what's your turn Yao Ming? ”

Yao Ming is a more humble person, he has never regarded himself as the first center in the NBA, because of his physique, he can't dominate the game like O'Neal, so once Maddie is not there, the Rockets have a poor record, and his personality does not meet the title of 'first', without that domineering, which is completely different from Chamberlain, of course, it may also be the difference between Chinese and American culture.

Chamberlain is aiming for the first center, not only the first center, he also wants to be the first person in the league. He doesn't have to be so crazy to play the Celtics, but when Billups lost to the Hornets in his absence, Chamberlain was holding his breath in his heart, and the experts of other teams couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, and expressed their opinions that Chamberlain was just a good stat and would brush the score, Chamberlain immediately slapped them in the face to fight back, and took an unprecedented 45+25+5+5, after that game, Chamberlain was not generally tired, and the Green Shirts used three people to wrap him in the last quarter, and he still went to singles toughly.

Despite the limelight during the Olympics, Chamberlain's influence in the Chinese circle is still inferior to Yao Ming's, which is the influence that has accumulated over time, and it is not easy for Chamberlain to overpower him for a year and a half.

Because of Yao Ming, the Rockets have always been the "home team" for Chinese audiences to watch the NBA, and now the Warriors are beginning to enjoy this preferential treatment. But when the Rockets and the Warriors fought, the Warriors became the children of their stepmothers again.

As for Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue? These two unlucky children encountered the situation of Chinese overcrowding in the NBA, and Yao Ming and Chamberlain fans alone could not support it, who still cares about the two of them, and the Bucks sent Yi Jianlian away for this consideration.

In the locker room interview before the game, a Chinese reporter asked Chamberlain, "How do you plan to deal with the Rockets' Big Three?" ”

Hearing this question, Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and he asked rhetorically: "BIG3? Rocket BIG3? I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken, are you trying to ask about our match against Celtic BIG3? ”

When will the Rockets also have a big three, Chamberlain doesn't know.

The reporter said as a matter of course: "Yao Ming, Maddie, Artest, isn't this the Big Three?" ”

He heard the mocking laughter of the other Warriors players, and was a little embarrassed, so he added, "It's the fans who chose this title, not me calling them that, this question is also a concern for many fans, they want to know how do you fight against so many big three in the league?" Because throughout the league, you are the only one who has the single core of the strong team. ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain's face darkened suddenly, it turns out that the Big Three are so worthless now, according to the fans' point of view, if you look up, you will find that the NBA "Big Three" are everywhere now.

The Spurs' Duncan is 32 years old, and others will inevitably decline in ability when he is his age, but what makes opponents depressed is that the speed at which Duncan is going downhill is almost invisible to the naked eye? Parker is starting to get into the pinnacle of gold, and Ginobili is also a giant if he stays healthy and injury-free.

The giants of the same southwest division, the Mavericks are second only to the Spurs in terms of qualifications, and now there are three giants: Nowitzki and Howard. In addition, there is a Hornets team, speaking of which the Southwest Division deserves his reputation as the Death Division, four of the five teams have the strength to enter the playoffs, and the Hornets who came out of the oblique spur are now more fierce, second in the West.

How can the Hornets not have a Big Three? West is moving towards becoming a first-class star in the NBA, and although Chandler's "giant" qualifications are a little wet, Paul's presence is enough to fill this subtle gap, and the media has recognized him as the NBA's No. 1 point guard, replacing Nash as the NBA's No. 1 point guard, and he already has the confidence to compete with Kobe.

Speaking only of the west, in addition to the southwest region, other teams are also strong and eyeing each other.

Let's talk about the Lakers first, strictly speaking, the "Big Three" are not enough to describe the Lakers' luxury lineup. Last season, Kobe, Gasol, and Odom trident killed the Western teams to lose their armor, and this year they made a comeback, and the team's big general Bynum returned from injury, as long as the state is fully recovered, in terms of fame and potential, Odom may have to temporarily retreat three points in front of him. Don't forget, they also have one of the most powerful "nuclear weapons" - the number one coach in the league, "Zen Master" Jackson.

Similarly, the Jazz the last thing the Rockets want to encounter in the playoffs. The new core of the Jazz, Williams, is maturing day by day, plus Boozer, Oku, and Kirilenko, under the command of the iron coach Sloan, this team does not have a big three but five tigers, and the Pistons won the championship with an inconspicuous lineup of five tigers.

The Suns gambled to bring in O'Neal last year, but they lost all their way home early, which was originally a strong team in the West, and it was the first in the West in the past few seasons, but unfortunately the uniform group was brainless for a while, and now it seems that the Suns are no longer a first-class team, and his Western hegemony was replaced by the Warriors.

So speaking of which, the Warriors are a relatively single-core team, West has good ability, but he likes XJBD the most, and he is a giant, and I am afraid that the outside world will really laugh at the Warriors Short General. Billups can still be called a giant, but as he gets older, his form has declined, and he has recently been injured again, so the Warriors have only one Chamberlain to support them.

In Chamberlain's eyes, even if the Rockets have a big three, it's nothing, and in the eyes of the Warriors, there are only two enemies, the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and the Cavaliers led by the little emperor, and the Rockets are just a touchstone.

But the media doesn't see it that way, just like the Warriors disdain to use the Rockets as opponents, in the eyes of the Chinese media, they still don't look down on the Warriors with uneven lineups, and they compare them with the Rockets' "Big Three" and the Celtics' "Big Three".

After a period of media speculation, there are really a few similarities between the two Big Three: Maddie Vs Garnett, both Wizards who joined the NBA in high school, are recognized for their talent but cannot achieve hegemony; Yao Ming Vs Pierce, who has been against the team from the beginning, has not been able to win the championship before; Artest Vs Ray Allen, a tossing Bulls, Pacers, Kings, Rockets, a wandering Bucks, SuperSonics, Celtics, are all disposed of by the unwillingly sold.

In the eyes of the media, analyzing the horror of the Rockets' "Big Three" from their personal strength, they may be half a point stronger than the Celtics' "Big Three". It's just that there are more rocket problems, for example, Yao Ming and Maddie's injury alarms have never stopped, for example, Artest's temper is a time bomb, and for example, the three of them have not yet had a chemical reaction.

After Chamberlain listened to the reporters, he thought for a while and said: "According to the fans, we don't seem to be the opponents of the Rockets? ”

A reporter smiled hypocritically: "Of course not, Z, you misunderstood the meaning of the domestic fans, mainly now that Billups and Mr. Ellis are absent, it may be more difficult for you to lead the team to win alone." ”

Chamberlain's fighting spirit immediately reached its peak, and Billups secretly said that this reporter was not found by old Nelson, right? As the saying goes, the dragon has a reverse scale, and the one who touches it dies, and Chamberlain's reverse scale is suspected of his ability to lead the team, and today I have to watch Optimus Prime vs. Decepticons.
