——Important remarks from the Seattle SuperSonics on Media Day.
Training camp has ended, and the SuperSonics are about to face a warm-up match in Las Vegas.
This year, they were not scheduled to play games in China, which is a rare occurrence.
Because even the schedule makers know that if you give someone the same menu every year, no matter how much they like it, they will get bored.
The Houston Rockets were also not scheduled for a game in China.
The two teams met in Las Vegas.
Yu Fei encountered a version of the Rockets that had never appeared in his past life.
This was a 20-year-old James Harden paired with a 29-year-old Yao Ming on the Rockets.
After a summer of recuperation, Yao Ming lost 14 kilograms, and though he hadn't regressed back to his rookie physique, he wasn't far off.
"Who are you?" Yu Fei asked upon seeing the new version of Yao Ming, "Where's the 300-pound Chinese center from your team?"
"Damn it!" Yao Ming exclaimed, "I've never been 300 pounds!"
