Recently, NBA games seem to have faded among Chinese audiences, because CCTV5 has not been broadcast. Moreover, because most of the Chinese players do not have the strength to play in the NBA, especially Yao Ming, who has not played on the Rockets for a long time, it has also made the "rocket complex" of the Chinese audience a lot darker. But going back more than a decade, the Houston Rockets are the favorite of countless Chinese fans, and the game day is the favorite game to watch.
In the CBA, Yao Ming defeated the Bayi Rockets' company and led the Shanghai Sharks to a championship in 2002, which is the only CBA championship won by the Shanghai men's basketball team so far. Subsequently, Yao Ming went to the United States and joined the Houston Rockets, wearing the No. 11. There, Yao Ming quickly circled fans with his superb skills and superb emotional intelligence, and won the respect of countless fans.
In the Houston Rockets, a large number of Yao Ming's teammates, such as McGrady, such as Francis, such as Battier, these people and Yao Ming fought side by side. Although he has never won a championship, the complex of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets is deeply engraved in the hearts of Chinese fans.
And Team Rocket's No. 1 jersey carries a lot! On December 9, 2004, exactly 17 years ago, Maddy, wearing the Rockets No. 1, slashed 13 points in 35 seconds in the final moment, beating the Spurs, making Duncan look confused and becoming an eternal classic picture of Houston's Toyota Center! Today, Liu Guoliang holds up the No. 1 rocket battle robe, which is also a classic moment: Chinese table tennis must be NO.1!
