Basketball: Dayao Reopened

At the end of the Olympic journey, a group of Chinese men's basketball team gathered for a dinner.

The guest was the leader Kuang Rubin.

Although he failed to win the quarter-finals, the seventh Olympic result was a small break in history compared to before.

In addition, everyone has worked very hard during this period, so the leader of this meal directly said: "Open and drink!"

Everyone was really happy to drink, and it was a great joy to push the cup and change the cup.

During the period, Du Feng drank a little too much, and began to lie on the table and pretend to be dead. Whoever called him, he lay on his stomach, waved his hand, and signaled that he was dead. Zhu Ba, who was in the same CBA team with him, was not so easy to let him go, pulled him up, continued to drink, and yelled, "Afeng, a little harder, Afeng, a little harder!" Zhu Ba has a big tongue when he drinks it himself, but some men are like this.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian sat there quietly, smiling as they watched the teammates of the national team fight, and looked at each other from time to time.

As a junior, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming were obviously a little restrained when they looked at each other.

Yao Ming didn't drink alcohol. He had to protect his body from training and diet, so when he reopened, he remembered that he had hardly drunk alcohol.

Yi Jianlian poured a little beer.

But it's just a cup, not finished yet.

Everyone consciously did not drink him.

After all, the UAE is still young, only 17 years old.

After watching them drink for a while, Yao Ming chatted with Yi Jianlian. Of course, he didn't say anything, but simply asked about his situation in China.

In the past year, Yao Ming has basically devoted himself to winning the NBA championship. He has not paid much attention to the outside world, including the domestic.

However, Yi Jianlian's progress is obvious. In this month's training camp, it has fully demonstrated that both physical and technical levels have increased greatly.

I should say that the CBA league can still train young players. Although it is not as ruthless as the media, it is said that it is the best competitive league outside of the NBA, but in Asia, the quality is really not to be said!

That is to say, everyone is quite good at this year’s Olympics. Yi Jianlian didn’t get too much playing time. He played the most eye-catching game. He played for 10 minutes and scored 4 points and 2 rebounds. In the Asian Championships last year, with Yi Jianlian's current strength, he can definitely play the main force!

Yao Ming had planned to take a one-year break for next year's Asian Championships, and he felt more relieved after seeing Yi Jianlian's progress!

In other words, Yi Jianlian is indeed stronger than him during the same period. Yao Ming made a speech last year and kept him on the roster of the Asian Championships, which also gave him some experience in international competitions. In the past year, he was in the CBA. He averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game. This data is much better than he was at this time. Originally, he averaged only 10 points and 6 rebounds per game in the past season of the CBA.

Yi Jianlian should have taken off next season, when he will get a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds.

As a teenager who will only be 18 years old next year, he will be able to get this data in the CBA, so it's no wonder that the domestic media will boast about him so much!

Of course, from the perspective of latecomers, this group of media praised it too high, which to a certain extent caused Yi Jianlian to "fall to death"-a large part of the "Yi Hei" was formed during this period.

Originally, Yi Jianlian’s Olympics was the first time he was selected for the national team in his career-the first time he entered the national team, and then ushered in a wave of data explosions, which shows that the national team training is very good for training new players.

Yao Ming can predict that this time he returns to the CBA, his data will definitely be better than the original. Originally, he averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds in the next season. It is estimated that this time he will have at least 19 points. 11 rebounds...This data is already a top-notch player in China!

At that time, Yi Jianlian was only 18 years old...

Coupled with the practice of going to the Asian Championships next year, if he waits for him to participate in the draft in 2007, he will definitely be much more mature than he was originally!

I just don't know, what should Sun Yue do!

Yao Ming looked at Yi Jianlian, who had gradually undergone some good changes, and he was no longer so worried. He was now worried about the hope of another Chinese men's basketball team-Sun Yue!

Sun Yue joined Aoshen in 1998. He was 19 years old at this time. However, the relationship between Aoshen and lx has become bad, and now Aoshen has gone to play in the semi-professional ABA league.

To put it bluntly, Sun Yue was ruined in this league.

They were originally undisciplined players, and they happened to run into undisciplined teams and leagues. This is a strange thing to develop good professionalism!

But he has no choice but to find a way next year and try to let Sun Yue enter the national team in advance... Now, he can only do these things.

Of course, that has to be next year's business, so don't think about it for now.

I don’t know, can a top-notch player emerge in the variety show over the next few years...

Yao thought for a while, and unconsciously thought of the group of children left in the first batch of his variety show. To be honest, it was a good one, and they looked good, but he just didn’t know that he would be able to practice when he went abroad. A few are coming.

While he was thinking about it, Yi Jianlian, who was taciturn, suddenly asked him: "Brother Yao, when do you think I should enter the NBA?"

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Yao Ming replied subconsciously. After returning, he remembered that Yi Jianlian had only entered the league in 2007, and now he is only 17 years old. Why can't he enter the NBA early?

Um?

Yes!

Or try to get Yi Jianlian into the NBA two years in advance!

Such a bold idea suddenly appeared in Yao Ming's mind.

The reason for the bold idea is because he doesn’t know whether this is good or bad for Yi Jianlian. After all, this is something that hasn’t happened yet. If Yao Ming left Yi Jianlian on the list of the Asian Championships in the China Men’s Basketball Team last year, If it is a little change, then this idea now completely belongs to changing the trajectory of Yi Jianlian's life.

is this okay?

Yao Ming thought about it carefully.

The final conclusion is: you can give it a try!

there are many reasons.

First, although Yi Jianlian is now 17 years old, the age of the Chinese players is the same as Mutombo’s age, maybe! Although Yao Ming doesn’t think Yi Jianlian’s age will change too much, otherwise his performance in 19 years will not be so good. However, even if it’s just one or two years old, the impact on a player is already very significant. Big.

Otherwise, the NCAA senior three and four players would not be so dismissed.

In case Yi Jianlian's age has really been changed, and now he is not 17, but 19, then wait another three years, but he will be 22! This is not the age of how much potential can be developed!

Another thing is that the domestic environment is really not good. Looking at this group of national brands, they are proficient in smoking and drinking, and it is enough to imagine the private lives of other domestic players.

Moreover, the domestic training team is not professional. Even many of the later players, such as "Big Nephew" and Ding Yan Yuhang, have left a lot of concealed injuries after training. This actually affects the player's career life!

Therefore, if Yi Jianlian can enter the NBA earlier, it may not be a bad thing for him!

How about... Try it?

"Brother Yao?"

Seeing that Yao Ming hadn't answered for a long time, Yi Jianlian yelled again.

Yao Ming reacted and asked him first: "Does the team approve you to go to the NBA?"

Yi Jianlian replied: "I have discussed this with the team, and they still support me in going out and breaking out, saying that if you don't understand, you can come back then..."

Hey, good fate!

It's rare for Yao Ming to just click on Lemon. Unlike when he went to the NBA, he finally had to communicate with lx and had to face the obstruction of the big sharks, eh? Where are the "big sharks"? Sure enough, Shaq is the enemy of my life!

However, the original Yao Ming later "retaliated" back-he bought the Shark, and then opened up all the managers who prevented him from going to the NBA... It's Xiao Yan Benyan!

"That's OK, then you can participate in the draft next year!" Yao Mingjiang said his thoughts, let alone, he was very worried, because he didn't know what Yi Jianlian could grow into.

Will he be better than the original?

Still worse than the original him?

Yao Ming thought about it, it's possible.

The only thing he can guarantee is that Yi Jianlian will have a longer growth time this time, because this time it should not be possible for him to retire in a hurry by 2010.

After all, there is a ball that controls this world...

Yi Jianlian obviously didn't expect Yao Ming to be the answer. He was stunned for several seconds, and his eyes suddenly became brighter: "Really? Brother Yao, do you think I can play in the NBA now?"

"After playing next season's CBA, you will know how strong you are now!" Yao Ming said, "Don't overestimate your own strength, and don't underestimate your own ability, UAE, I believe that you have the ability to play in the NBA. , I also hope that you can enter the NBA as soon as possible, which is good for your growth!"

Yi Jianlian focused his head and looked at him with a bit of excitement. Yao Ming believed that when he heard what he said, this guy felt in his heart.

But then Yao Ming did not forget to remind Yi Jianlian: "You remember to practice oral English, then you must use English to communicate with gringles. If you don't understand English, this is a big trouble!"

The original Yi Jianlian failed to play, and the inconvenience in communicating with his teammates was also one of the reasons.

Yi Jianlian took this down.

Yao Ming didn't say much afterwards, just asked Yi Jianlian to send him a message if he had any problems in the future. Now that he has begun to change Yi Jianlian's life trajectory, he will of course be responsible for it!

After more than half an hour, the Chinese men’s basketball team had almost drunk alcohol, but they were obviously not happy enough. They yelled for the second game. Yao Ming didn’t go with him. It was very late. He still went back to bed early. Yes, he has booked a plane to Houston for tomorrow morning.

There are still many things waiting for him to solve!

Before leaving, he deliberately greeted Battelle and Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi will return to Houston next. He has a one-year contract with the Clippers. Battelle has ended his contract with the Rockets. Yao Ming With the tense relationship with the Rockets, he will not be able to renew his contract with the Rockets. It is estimated that he will return to China with the China Men’s Basketball Team.

Not surprisingly, he will start playing CBA again! No way, in the 04~05 season, the NBA will announce the cancellation of Handcheck. This rule change makes a pure “meat shield” like Battelle no longer stand in the NBA.

In fact, it can be seen in this Olympics that Battelle's footsteps are really too slow. In many cases, the effect of his partner with Yao Ming is not as good as that of his and Wang Zhizhi.

Although Yao Ming and him don't have to resist the opponent's strength, they are much more tired than their partner Wang Zhizhi in terms of supplementary defense.

However, the return of Battelle to the CBA this time is not necessarily a bad thing for the China Men's Basketball Team, because in the CBA, he has tempered his coping ability and better three-point ability, which is approximately equal to "Little Jokic".

In 2008, the China Men’s Basketball Team will have one more support point for the fifth position. Yao name means one more substitute. Isn’t it a good thing?

...

While Yao Ming embarked on his journey to Houston, the 2004 Athens Olympics men's basketball finals also officially ended. Argentina defeated Lithuania. Just like them, they created history and became another non-American that won the Olympic men's basketball championship. team!

Lithuania won the silver medal, which also made history!

It is worth mentioning that it is not the original "Dream Six" that won the bronze medal. It was Puerto Rico who had beaten them in the group stage before-in the "Bronze Medal Game", Puerto Rico again defeated "Dream Six" and became the final third place in this Olympics!

Well, yes, Puerto Rico also made history!

This also made the Athens Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament been dubbed by foreign media as "a history-making Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament". From the gold medalist to the bronze medalist, all teams have created their own national history!

The result of the "Meng Six Team" this time was even more miserable than they originally had.

Only ranked fourth, not even a brand.

When Yao Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but touch his nose. Well, it turns out that our "water ghost" not only dragged the original runner-up of Italy, but also dragged the United States into the water!

Very good, just... great!

This seems to be the first time that the United States has not won a medal in the Olympics since the establishment of the "Dream Team"?

"Dream Six" and **Vicci were scolded by American fans for this reason!

Yes, the coach who went to Athens with Six this time was not Larry Brown, but Vicki... But it turns out that in 2004, whether it was him or Larry Brown, just a coaching change could not solve the fundamental problem.

Reasonable analysis, the fundamental problem of "Dream Six" is that the team's lineup is too stretched.

First of all, from the outside, from Allen Iverson to Jefferson, there is no stable shooting point, which allows other national teams to double-team this team unscrupulously.

In addition, the normal rotation of this team is Tim Duncan, Carlos Boozer and Stoudemire. To be honest, there are indeed fewer people who do the dirty work. You ask Tim Duncan to give Boozer. You and Stoudemire's two younger generations are wiping **** with shit, he really doesn't like to do it!

Most importantly, this "Dream Six" is too young. In 2002 and 2003, five of them entered the league. There is even Okafor who has just participated in the draft in 2004 and has not officially played in the professional league. You expect It is impossible for these players to make much contribution in the international arena.

After all, they haven't even figured it out in the NBA.

But after losing, who will analyze it rationally with you!

It's that you "cai dogs" are too good!

Just because you dare to be called "Dream Team"?

Still called "Nightmare Team" is more suitable for you!

From **Vicci to the "03 Golden Generation" have been scolded many times, especially **Vicci is the most scolded, there is no way, basketball games, the head coach is always one of the people behind:

"I haven't coached for more than a year and suddenly ran to coach the national team. Isn't this harming people?"

"You idiot might as well lie in the hospital, even the coach of the Dream Team can't understand it!"

"I will never be blown away in front of me again in the future. I really vomit at this year's Olympics!"

Listening to the scolding of these fans from outside, Yao Ming had to say that he was very happy! Listen, it's too much relief!

Tim Duncan was the first "Dream Six Team" to speak out. Just like him, he issued a retirement declaration: "I will never join the national team again!"

Yao Ming understands this guy's psychology quite well.

After all, he is one of the few who played like humans in the "Dream Six Team" of this Olympics. Looking at the past, his teammates are all pits. Can you say he can't be aggrieved?

It is estimated that in his heart, it is easier to win the championship with the Spurs than to win the Olympic gold medal with the "Dream Six"!

Anyhow, there are helpers!

While Yao Ming was eating melons, he also learned from Bill Duffy that Dawson was fired by Alexander. Yao Ming didn't have much surprise when he learned the news, but his heart was indeed much more relaxed at that moment.

Deserve it!

To Dawson, he is nothing so pitiful!

"Currently, the Rockets are looking for a new general manager, but no one has been confirmed yet!"

"It's okay, is there any news from David Stern?"

"There is nothing new for the time being."

"Okay, got it!"

When Yao Ming heard that Bill Duffy said that there was nothing new, he was not anxious. Since Dawson was fired, it means that David Stern must have looked for Alexander, and this guy is so angry. He dismissed Dawson, so obviously, he was in a bad mood!

As for why you are in a bad mood...do you have to say more?

In the next two days, American reporters found Yao Ming and wanted to interview him, but he refused. Now he waited for David Stern's reply.

There is no longer any need for public opinion to build momentum for him.

If he continues to accept interviews, stepping on the management of the Rockets, or stepping on the Dawson who left, he will be a bit unreasonable. Sometimes, this may be counterproductive. Therefore, just accept it and wait at ease.

In addition, Adam also contacted him once during this period, saying that the editing of "Yao Mingnian" was almost finished, and now he needs to make up a few shots. Yao Ming just had time in these two days, so he made an appointment with him to shoot and play. Two days-"Yao Mingnian" is a documentary like "Extreme Jordan". "Extreme Jordan" records the events of Michael Jordan's 98 playoffs, while "Yao Mingnian" records Yao Ming from the moment he entered the league. In the two seasons of winning the championship last season, most of the shots did not need Yao Ming to find. Adam can get the content from the Rockets team reporters. Only a small part of the shots need to be recorded by Yao Ming.

The shooting went smoothly. After the shooting, Adam invited Yao Ming to a meal and said, "I will tell you as soon as the film comes out."

Yao Ming is actually looking forward to it. After all, the first two seasons of his career are much more exciting than the original two seasons... when you look at it, he must be very passionate.

Of course, there will definitely be a lot of emotions...As far as the current progress, it is estimated that when the film comes out, he will no longer wear the Rockets jersey!

After finishing the shooting, Yao Ming reinvested in training. It was August 20th, and there was less than a month before the training camp for the new season.

According to the current situation, perhaps as he expected from the beginning, it is estimated that he will not be able to leave before the official start of the new season. But he can't make trouble anymore. Just like that, leave the matter to David Stern and let him solve it. Yao Ming believes that this guy will give him a satisfactory answer.

Moreover, leaving and leaving, his own promotion plan cannot be messed up.

Originally, he thought about it. This offseason mainly improves two aspects, three-pointers and physical fitness.

There is no need to explain the three-pointer. He tasted the sweetness in this aspect in the playoffs last season. Coupled with the upcoming cancellation of Handcheck in the league, it will become easier for him to shoot from the outside. Naturally, this three-pointer has to be practiced!

As for physical stamina, I don’t need to say much. This is his big problem and he must improve as soon as possible, especially after the Olympic Games. He found that once he didn’t have Kevin Cato and needed to do the dirty work by himself, his stamina was prone to be insufficient. The situation forced him to give up his concentration in some areas.

This made him more aware of the need to improve physical fitness...

Now Kevin Catoco has been traded!

And after Yao Ming officially invested in training, about a week later, the league, as he knew it, officially announced that it would "cancel Handcheck" in the new season. This reform immediately aroused heated discussions from the outside world.

Bill Walton said bluntly: "The league has given up on the inside. They want the offense to be launched from the outside. This era has really changed!"

I have to say that this old man is the old man. After playing for so many years and watching for so many years, what impact will the league cancel Handcheck have, he immediately has a picture: the spring of breakthrough outside players is here!

Kenny Smith questioned: "Other countries have just defeated Dream VI with joint defense tactics, but now the alliance has further cancelled the confrontation on the outside line and encouraged breakthroughs. This proves that the alliance did not pay attention to this defeat. I really want to know Davis. What exactly does Tern want to do?"

His doubts have been recognized by most experts in the alliance, and most experts believe that this reform is unwise!

In the face of these doubts, David Stern's answer was only one sentence: "Meng VI lost before the NBA reform!" This meant that before Lao Tzu reformed, they played the Handcheck rules for so many years, and they still lost. NS?

Can't find their own reasons, what does it have to do with me!

I have changed the reform anyway!

do not bother me!

This response is still very strong, at least there are no experts who continue to question.

In fact, there are still many areas in the reform of the league. If you open the NBA referee's penalty manual, you can clearly see the concept of "cylinder" protection for players!

Yes, with the cancellation of Handcheck, the Alliance also introduced "cylinder" protection. Of course, it is still in the experimental stage, so there is no clear provision regarding the protection of the player's "cylinder".

For the time being, only Yao Ming, the person who reopened, as well as Stern and the referees association, knew about this, and it has not been made public.

This is why Yao Ming wants to practice three-pointers.

During the implementation of the "cylinder" protection, the referee has not yet formed a clear scale for the penalty. In case one night is too strict, then he may be able to enjoy the reform dividend!

Yao Ming doesn't think there is anything wrong with this!

It is normal to use the rules, but it is impossible for Yao Ming to use the rules to play "stand-and-long jump" moves. He has more face than using the rules...

Just another week later, Bill Duffy suddenly called him: "Man, the candidate for the Rockets' new general manager has been decided!"

"Huh?" Yao Ming was really curious about who the new general manager would be.

"It turns out that Darrell Morey, assistant general manager of the Celtics, became the general manager of the Rockets!"

"..."

It really hasn’t changed at all, Alexander, in this case, I found someone to save you money!

But that’s right!

That's the Rockets I hate the most!

"Okay, got it!"

Yao Ming has absolutely no reason to stay with the Rockets.

Speaking of which he can prevent Morey from taking office, but think about it, he must owe favor to Alexander, and this guy must be anxious that he owes favor to him now. Just leave here!

What Yao Ming didn't expect was that Bill Duffy had just finished telling him that Morey had become the new general manager of the Rockets. In less than half an hour, Morey called him.

"Hello, I am……"

"beep!"

When Yao Ming answered it, it was an unfamiliar call. When he heard the familiar greasy voice, he hardly hesitated and hung up the call.

Then he sent a message to Bill Duffy: "The new general manager of the Rockets just called me. Ask, what does this guy want to say!"

Although he didn't want to talk to Morey, in case this guy was here to discuss a deal with him, wouldn't he delay his departure from Houston by doing this?

So he told Bill Duffy about the matter, and added another sentence: Tell him not to call me, just tell you something.

"It's okay, it's okay, haha, I just want to talk to Yao...Oh, sorry, I don't know he is resting, sorry, it won't be anymore next time, haha!"

Morey sat in the office of the general manager that originally belonged to Dawson and hung up the phone with a look of embarrassment. As a top student in Massachusetts, he originally planned to use his three-inch tongue to persuade Yao Ming, in case the persuasion succeeds. Woolen cloth! This is a great credit for being trusted by the BOSS!

But I didn't expect this Huaxia person to be so difficult to contact.

whispering sound!

Damn it!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had just been ashamed, Morey could not help but cursed inwardly.

Look, there really is nothing wrong!

Yao Ming then learned Morey's reply from Bill Duffy, and then he thought of something and put Morey's contact information on the blacklist.

It took another two days, and the time officially came to September. Just when Yao Ming was a little impatient and wanted Bill Duffy to remind David Stern, Bill Duffy called him first. On the call, he said cheerfully: "Yao, I just received a call from David Stern, what you hope will happen soon!"

Hearing this news, Yao Ming was also a little excited. After waiting for so many days, is this day finally coming!

Even with Yao Ming's training that day, he was absent-minded.

David Stern didn’t let him wait long this time. The day after he finished the phone call with Bill Duffy, the league announced a new clause called the "Rookie Incentive Clause". The specific content is: rookie players can advance in advance. A two-year rookie contract renewed with the team. The starting salary is 20% of the salary cap. The new contract has a minimum of 4 years. The rookie needs to win the regular season MVP, Finals MVP, and best defensive player in the first two years of his NBA career. , The number of times to enter the best lineup is not less than twice to achieve any three of these four conditions, to trigger this clause.

This clause once again caused an uproar.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see, this clause is clearly prepared for Yao Ming's deal!

ESPN: "This is the first time I have seen David Stern give in for a newcomer!"

TNT has a different opinion: "In my opinion, this is obviously to ensure the interests of the Rockets and prevent this team from losing too much in the transaction. As expected, David Stern is still more biased towards the boss!"

There was a quarrel outside, but Yao Ming followed Bill Duffy to the Rockets general manager's office on the afternoon of the day the terms came out. He had already fully understood at this moment, why did David Stern respond so slowly, dare to make new clauses?

This is really not an easy task. After all, the new terms require the agreement of most of the 30 team owners. It is possible to create an alliance with 30 teams in a month that most of the owners agree, and it can help the Rockets. With the terms of guaranteeing benefits, this progress is fast enough.

However, although the mood is good, Yao Ming’s whole face is cold when he sees Morey. There is no way, it’s too disgusting. Ming's mood will instantly become bad.

Morey also noticed Yao Ming's rapidly becoming cold face, and he was a little puzzled in his heart: Why do you feel that this Chinese person looks unpleasant to me?

That is to say, Yao Ming doesn't know what Morey is thinking at the moment, otherwise he will definitely respond: I don't think you are so simple! You underestimate how disgusting you are!

When Yao Ming arrived, Baipi... Morey had already prepared a new contract, which is about to be re-signed in the first year of 9 million, the second year of 9.72 million, the third year of 10.49 million, and the fourth year of 1132. Million, a total of 40.53 million!

Compared with Yao Ming's original five-year contract of 75 million after the third year, it is actually much worse.

But there is no way. The "Rookie Incentive Clause" does not apply to the "Bird Clause". The starting salary for the first year is only 20% of the total salary cap, and the starting salary that meets the "Bird Clause" is 25% of the salary cap. In addition, the annual increase rate is only 8%, and the annual salary increase rate of the contract that meets the "Bird Clause" is 10.5%!

After going back and forth, Yao Ming's contract will naturally be less.

Of course, if you really want to say a loss, you can't talk about it. After all, Yao Ming has jumped out of the rookie contract. Starting from the new season, he has executed a new contract and can get 9 million, which is 444 compared to the original third year. Million, directly doubled, including 9.72 million the next year, the same is true, directly more than doubled.

That is to say, the money in the third year and the fourth year of this contract is not as good as the first year and the second year of the original contract, but if the extra money from the first year and the second year of the contract is added to the third year What about the fourth year?

You won't lose money right away?

After the second contract is fulfilled, Yao Ming can sign a maximum salary contract that accounts for 30% or even 35% of the team’s total salary cap as long as Yao Ming maintains his current performance. In fact, it will not be less than the third and fourth year of Yao Ming's original contract.

To put it bluntly, the "Rookie Incentive Clause" just allows you to get the money you can get in the next two years in advance, and this money is still deducted from the next two years!

From a long-term perspective, the team will not lose any money, and the players themselves will not make much money.

And the conditions to meet are still so harsh, and the average rookie really can't meet this condition.

At the same time, most of the media in the league have analyzed these things, and ESPN once again issued an article: "This is exactly the terms that were introduced for Yao Ming's transaction!"

The alliance also did not respond, obviously tacitly acquiescing to this fact!

However, I should say that this clause does have an "incentive effect". Although this clause has not allowed players to increase their money in four to six years after the analysis, it is early for the United States, which promotes the atmosphere of "early consumption". It is a good thing to get money, so some media bluntly said: The rookies who enter the league in the future will indeed become more active!

The only problem is that the trigger conditions are too harsh: the first two years of his career have to meet the regular season MVP, the finals MVP, the best defensive player award, and no less than two best team...turn the history of the entire league Come out, it seems that there are only two or three people who can meet this clause, right?

However, Yao Ming was not in a hurry to sign this contract: "I need the player options in the fourth quarter..."

"Okay, no problem!" Morey directly agreed. After signing this contract, he doesn't have to wait for a year. Yao Ming is definitely no longer on the Rockets. If this player option is added, it's okay. Anyway, it's someone else. .

This is his favorite thing to do!

Yao Ming didn't have any surprises about his straightforward promise, this is such a thing!

However, Yao Ming’s only pity is that he originally wanted to add trade veto power, but unfortunately he did not have this qualification. According to regulations, in order to obtain trade veto power, the player must play at least 8 seasons in the NBA. , At least for the signed team for more than 4 seasons to get!

This right is to prevent Alexander from making trouble in the trade and deliberately sending him to some cheating teams. What a pity! He doesn't have the qualifications yet.

But if you don’t have it, Yao Ming doesn’t care very much. Thinking about it carefully, there is no team in this league that is more cheating than the Rockets. As long as you can leave here, the other 29 teams in this league are all good places to go!

This shows how Yao Ming hates the Rockets now...

Yao Ming then signed the new contract.

The writing rustled, but Yao Ming listened very comfortably.

Morey took a look at the contract, confirmed that it was correct, and then smiled helplessly: "Okay, man, as soon as there is news, I will notify you!"

This news is obviously trading news.

Yao Ming didn't reply, he got up immediately, turned his head and left. He didn't want to get better again and was destroyed by this white pig.

Bill Duffy looked at Yao Ming's handsome back and turned away. He was actually a little confused, and then took a deep look at Morey. There are not many people who can be hated by Yao Ming.

He has to write it down and stay away from the person with this face in the future!

Well, slender eyes indicate that this guy is careful.

Fat face like a pig.

There is also a disgusting smirk.

No wonder Yao Ming hates it!

Bill Duffy murmured in his heart. He watched too much, and his heart panicked!

Final summary: This is an annoying look!

nausea!

After the two of them left, Morey took out the mirror and looked at himself, smelled his body, and then shook his head slightly. He still didn't understand why Yao Ming hated him so much.

Forget it!

Let's start working!

Now that Yao Ming's new contract has been signed, Morey will naturally have to trade Yao Ming on the agenda.

However, just when he was thinking about revealing the news that he was going to trade Yao Ming, the phone at the corner of his desk rang first.

"Hey, man, congratulations on becoming the new general manager of the Rockets..."

It was Morey's original boss and his teacher, the current general manager Angie of the Celtics.

"Thank you, Danny." Morey expressed his gratitude, but the expression on his face became a little more wary. Since he left the Celtics, he knew that when he met Angie again, they were opponents.

As it is now, Angie played for the Celtics and he played for the Rockets.

So he knows very well that Anji's call is not to tell him about the old days!

"Then there is one more thing..." Sure enough, An Ji, who had finished congratulating him, said his true purpose, "I want to get Yao, Darrell, let's discuss it, if I do it can I get the Chinese champion!"

Morey thought for a while, and didn't directly say what he wanted. The person who wants to trade now is Angie. What he has to do now is to listen to Angie's offer, not to take the initiative to double-team!

Angie, this guy is using my inexperience to dig a hole for me!

After Morey wanted to understand, he spoke unhurriedly: "Man, I want to know what kind of bargaining chip you can give before I can know what I want!"

Hearing this, Anji couldn't help uttering something in his heart: It seems that he has learned some real skills!

Seeing that he didn't have a routine to Morey, he stopped going in circles: "I can send Ricky Davis, plus a first-round pick, plus a second-round pick."

Angie reported his chips very smoothly, but the list was not as long as Morey expected. He didn't hesitate to ask, "Are there any more?"

After a short silence, Angie said: "I can add two more players, in fact, except for Paul Pierce, you can choose whatever you want!"

I don’t like any of the others!

Morey murmured in his heart, he just came out of the Celtics, and he knew exactly what kind of stuff there was: "I still need some signings!"

Morey said directly what he wanted.

His thinking is very clear. In this league, the value can be completely comparable to Yao Ming's, almost nothing. This is the result of his accurate calculations, and the value can be completely comparable to Yao Ming's, and they are all other things. The team’s not-for-sale items, since this deal will lose money, try to avoid players and sign more in order to see the future!

I should say that although the character of this product is not good, but the ability does exist, although he has just taken office, the idea of ​​the transaction has been sorted out at once.

Angie has been silent longer this time. In fact, if he can get Yao's name, things like first-round picks will not mean much to the Celtics in the next few years.

But as the general manager, he can't burn all the bullets in a battle, he has to reserve some bullets for reinforcement work after the trade to Yao Ming.

"I can add a second round of signing, and even eat a **** contract in your hand!"

This is the answer An Ji gave after thinking about it for a long time.

Morey recorded all the chips he said: Ricky Davis plus a first-round pick and two second-round picks, plus a junk contract...

"Well, man, I think I need to find out first!"

To be honest, Morey was not very satisfied with this result.

Anji didn't expect a phone call to bring Yao Ming back to the Celtics. He nodded and said that he was waiting for Morey to call him at any time, just because he wanted to find out about the market.

Morey just hung up.

After the call was hung up, he slowly exhaled. He had been speaking with a single breath just now, and he was very nervous. This is also the first time he has dealt with a deal as a general manager, and he is still under an NBA super giant player contract like Yao Ming. Can you not be nervous?

Fortunately, playing against Anji didn't seem to be a big problem.

But as soon as he finished his breath, the phone at the corner of his desk rang again. This time, it was from Grizzlies general manager Jerry West.

Another difficult guy.

Morey listened attentively throughout the whole process. In about ten minutes, the two people also ended the first conversation. Jerry West gave a much better bargaining chip than Angie: Paul Gasol plus two first rounds Sign plus a second round!

The combination of Pau Gasol and McGrady is indeed something to look forward to... Anyway, it must be better than Ricky Davis's partner McGrady.

Then came the third call and the fourth call. Morey suddenly discovered that he didn't need to arrange for the media to disclose the news. The general manager of this league seemed to have known that "The Rockets will trade Yao's name." Well, the league announced The "Rookie Incentive Clause" is indeed an obvious signal.

Morey was so busy in the afternoon, and when he looked up again, the whole day outside the window was already dark.

He looked at the notebook he had unknowingly, and couldn't help rubbing his sour wrists: "It's crazy, these people!" Morey has also been Anji's assistant to the general manager for two or three years. It was the first time he saw a player driving the general manager of the league to this point.

He took a look at the notes he had taken.

At least fifteen or six general managers have called him and told him a bargaining chip, right?

One afternoon, fifteen or six...

Still when he didn't reveal any wind!

omg!

Morey couldn't help but let out a pig cry.

But he didn't dare to hesitate, took out his cell phone and called Alexander. As a new general manager, he felt it necessary to report today's results to his boss.

After all, he has just arrived now, and he doesn't have the right to handle such a big deal with capital, not to mention that he still doesn't know what kind of character Alexander is a boss, it is better to report a few times.

Alexander quickly connected, and his voice was ill. After agreeing to David Stern to trade Yao's name, his spirit never improved: "What's the matter?"

"That's it, BOSS, so far I have collected chips from the general managers of fifteen teams. I think it is necessary to report to you!" Morey respectfully looks like a flattery.

Alexander frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to scold me, and I was also looking for this bit of trouble, but thinking that the latter was also out of good intentions, he said, "You speak."

"Okay!" Morley opened his notebook, looked at it, and said one by one: "At present, the best chips are the chips of the Lakers. They hope to use Shaq to trade Yao. In addition, the chips given by the Heat are also very good. They are willing to give Odom, Caron Butler and other young talents to trade Yao, and in addition..." Morey's tone was also a bit excited. Before, his idea was to trade more signings, but when When he heard that Kupchak said that Shaq O'Neal could be used to trade Yao's name, he almost agreed directly. McGrady and Shaq O'Neal, the picture is so beautiful that he dare not look at it!

Alexander: Don't dare to look, don't look!

"Okay, okay!"

Alexander wanted to hear it, but after listening to it, he couldn't help but think of the triumphant smiles of the team owners after they got Yao's name. Suddenly, an unknown fire blew up and he interrupted Morey. if.

"Listen, I don't care who has the better chips, and I don't care who has the better chips for the Rockets. I only want the Chinese to live uncomfortably, so... he is not allowed to trade him to the big market. The team is not allowed to trade him to a team with a strong lineup. I want him to go to a place where birds don’t shit. I want him to rot!"

"Have you heard?"

"...I heard it, BOSS!"

Morey listened silently to Alexander's words, slightly silent, but nodded in response.

However, when the phone was hung up, he couldn't help but vomit: "This is a silly fork!" How could a businessman be so impulsive? Shouldn't you think about maximizing your own interests?

Well, silly cha was scolded by silly cha...

But who made him the boss? Morey can only follow what he said to screen the target team. The Lakers are definitely not good. The same is true for the Heat. Remove...

After such a round of screening, Morey's notebook is left with three teams: the Portland Trail Blazers, the New Orleans Hornets and the Charlotte Bobcats.

Among them, Portland is not a small ball market in the true sense. Among the 30 cities in the NBA, it can be ranked at least in third gear. Anyway, it is much better than New Orleans and the Charlotte Bobcats.

But the Portland Trail Blazers are the league’s famous "prison team~www.novelmt.com~ Although the team is already trying to improve, it is hard to return, and it will take a while!

And New Orleans and Charlotte are veritable small ball markets, and the Hornets just moved to New Orleans last year, and Baron Davis is also on the bargaining chip. Without him, the Hornets would have nothing to win. The guy who came out to talk about it, the Bobcats are a new league team just formed this year. The players in the ball are themselves a group of stinky fish and shrimps.

"Who should these three teams choose?"

Morey was a little undecided. Originally, he was going to call Alexander again to see what he meant, but he just finished the call, and now he is calling again, it is hard to guarantee that his boss will not be annoying.

Then wait no more?

Anyway, it's only the first day, so there are so many teams in the league that haven't responded...

OK, then wait.

After hesitating for a long time, Morey finally decided to wait.
