The biggest reason why the Rockets will attract much attention in China is because Yao Ming has played with the Rockets for nearly a decade, and in this process, the Rockets players who have played alongside Yao Ming are also known and loved by people - after all, because of Yao Ming, we know Maddy, we know Francis, we know Battiers, we know Hayes and Scola. But when it comes to the name Bob Sula, many people will still feel strange - because he was Yao Ming's teammate in the early years, and he was not like the stars mentioned above, he was the choice of the league at that time. And his relationship with Yao Ming is not so harmonious, at least from the pitch.
If you see Sula's appearance when she was young, you should first think of the knife-bearing bodyguard of the former Emperor Zhan, and the Australian kangaroo Della Vidovar, who is now playing in the icy Milwaukee. But compared to Della's technical characteristics, Sula is very different from him. Although Della's defensive performance is quite good, and curry has been distressed many times in the Finals, his projection ability is not outstanding, and it can even be said to be lower than the average of league defenders. But that's not the case with Sula, who happens to be known for his projection abilities.
During his time at Florida State University, Sula attributed important records such as total school history points, school history shooting numbers and school history three-point shooting numbers to his own name, even after entering the league, stable projection ability is the foundation of his survival, and it is also the reason why the team wants to recruit him. Not only is the shooting level good, Sula, as a white person, also has the physical quality of not losing to black people, can stage a pull bar and dunk performance in the game, Sula, who is quite stubborn about dunks, even participated in the 1997 dunk contest, but in the end she returned home.
But Sula is not a very good player, and after joining the NBA, he for the most part acted as a substitute for the team, and did not have many opportunities to perform and be known. In the 2004-2005 season, Sula came to the Rockets, and yao Ming at this time had already begun to emerge from the Rockets.
The Rockets originally hoped to get Sula and make him the replacement for the team's number one position, but Sula obviously did not complete this task, and he and Yao Ming, who should be fed by him, called very much, but such a scene can only appear in the fans' fantasies and expectations - Yao Ming and Sula, quite no calls. In the game, it often appears that Yao Ming wants to get to an excellent position, but Sula does not lift the ball to break through by himself, completely ignoring Yao Ming's existence, so many people are also quite critical of his too independent playing style.
However, since the end of that season, Sula had to choose to retire due to years of accumulated injuries, and has since left the NBA, and soon after, it was discovered that Sula actually began to play Texas Hold'em. Years later, the big Asian man who couldn't get the ball at that time has become a Hall of Famer, but what about Sulla? But it has been forgotten by the vast majority of basketball fans.
