[NBA + Abstinence System + Duo + Parallel Worlds]
Can you imagine a group of foreigners shouting “Xiaoyao” in perfect Mandarin inside the Toyota Center?
In 2009, Yao Ming’s season ended early, while McGrady was battered by injuries. The following year, he announced he would undergo minimally invasive knee surgery, ending his season as well. The Rockets were swept by the Jazz in the playoffs two years running.
On draft night, the Rockets selected a yellow-skinned guard with the 19th pick of the second round.
The Rockets had only picked the unremarkable Xu Xiao to keep expanding their Chinese fan base, and because they planned to tank the following season.
They never expected that sending backup shooting guard Xu Xiao onto the court during garbage time would throw all their plans into disarray...
Should they tank for the top pick or go for the championship? Even a fool knows which to choose!
After the Yao-McGrady duo, the Xiao-Yao duo (Xiaoyao) is once again charging fiercely toward the NBA Finals!
Madness is everywhere. This is our era!
