Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Morey just waited for another two days, not to mention, the general manager of six or seven teams came to ask about Yao Ming's offer.

As of the league’s release of the "Rookie Incentive Clause", of course, more media have now begun to refer to this clause as the "Yao Name Clause". By the end of three days after the release of this clause, 21 teams have already called in for quotations. Phone.

Among them are the league's powerful players like the Lakers and the Celtics, as well as new teams like the Hornets and Bobcats.

As for the bargaining chip, Shaq O'Neal, who is still in the league's top 5 in dominance, also has a large number of draft picks. The content is rich enough to make any experienced team general manager dazzle!

Some teams even took out four first-round picks to trade Yao Ming.

But if Morey speaks to his heart, as long as Yao Ming is willing to stay with the Rockets, it really would rather not have these chips.

Who doesn't know that Yao Ming is the more valuable guy?

If he wasn't so valuable, how could he make the entire league so crazy?

It’s worth mentioning here that the entire league did not have a clear concept of the value of Yao Ming. Everyone only knows that this guy is very strong. After only two seasons in the league, he can lead the team to win the finals, and China is behind it. The market made Alexander a lot of money, nothing more.

Just like many fans know that Chamberlain is very strong, but there is no clear concept of him. But when you tell these fans, this guy can average more than 30 points per game in his first season in the league, the highest scoring average in his career. In a season of up to more than 50 points, he also scored 100 points in a single game!

Fans will naturally have a clear concept of how strong Chamberlain is!

It turns out that this guy is so strong!

By the same token, when all team owners know that Alexander made about 800 million yuan in two seasons with Yao Ming, they have a deeper understanding of Yao Ming's value!

It turns out that this guy has such a strong ability to attract gold?

Naturally, Yao's name is even more greedy.

Who doesn't want to be the next Alexander?

Even if the group considers 100 million yuan as a small goal, they really shoot 400 million yuan a year in front of him, you tell me that he will dismiss it?

And as more and more general managers of other teams ask for quotations, more and more media have also learned about this!

It was also at this time that Woj just understood why he couldn't find out how to find out the news a few days ago.

It turns out that these guys are waiting for Yao Ming!

However, although the number of bidding teams has increased again, to be honest, Morey's selection of teams has not changed at all. It is impossible for him to send Yao Ming to join forces with Vince Carter, right?

That way, Alexander would definitely swear at him!

Give Yao Ming a Vince Carter, don't you let him win the championship easily?

Therefore, in the end, these three teams were placed in front of Morey. Out of caution, Morey called Alexander again and asked him how to trade.

But Alexander didn't know where to send Yao Ming. These three places seem to be the same!

"You decide for yourself!"

This is Alexander's last reply!

Morey didn't ask if he asked.

"There is no way, I can only choose the one that is most beneficial to the Rockets, so that if the Rockets play well in the new season, I can also take a bit of credit!"

Morey’s words were too bad for Alexander to hear, otherwise, it was another swearing: I obviously asked you to choose the worst team, but you are here to give me consideration for which team gives the Rockets a bargaining chip. most!

You are so special, don't you have long ears!

Morey removed the Bobcats first.

The general manager of the Bobcats is mostly draft picks.

Although their draft pick next year is likely to become a high pick.

But the problem is that if the Rockets let Yao Ming go without introducing a strong player, then they themselves will most likely end up in the league's countdown.

Although they have Tracy McGrady, isn't the 2004 No. 1 pick obtained by the Magic who originally owned Tracy McGrady?

In other words, with Tracy McGrady alone, the Rockets are likely to be at the bottom of the season. Since they can get the high draft pick, the Bobcats' high draft pick next year or the following year is not so important!

Because the Bobcats pass!

After comparing the chips of the Hornets and the Trail Blazers, Morey has become more inclined to trade with the Trail Blazers.

The Hornets’ bargaining chip is Baron Davis plus two first-round picks and a second-round pick... It sounds good. You know, the league’s player of the month in the first week of last season. It is Baron Davis, this guy belongs to a star who has already begun to show off his edge, plus two first-round picks, and a second-round pick. Going out to inquire about it, it is estimated that he is also in the transaction with Yao Ming. The Hornets management dare to spend so much money!

But Baron Davis is also a player who needs a lot of possession of the ball. At this point, he and McGrady overlap. When there are two players who are used to possession of the ball in the backcourt, the end result must be someone on the outside. Looked with arms akimbo.

This painting of scenery doesn't match even thinking about it.

Compared with the Hornets, the Blazers’ chips are relatively more suitable for the current Rockets. They gave last year’s "Most Improved Player Award" winner Zach Randolph and "Little Garnett" Daliu Smyers, and two first-round signings this year and next year.

In the eyes of many experts, Zach Randolph and Miles are bound to be the league’s most anticipated players as long as they focus on the court. Most importantly, they are both inside and they are in position with Tracy McGrady. There is no overlap, if you run in well, the picture is actually quite beautiful.

At least Zach Randolph and McGrady are two strong attack points!

But the Trail Blazers also have some dissatisfaction with Morey. The two first-round picks provided to him by the Trail Blazers are the first round of next year and the first round of the following year. According to regulations, they cannot be placed in the same transaction. Entering the first round of signings for two consecutive years, the Blazers president gave the explanation that Morey chose one of the years for the sign swap, which means that the Rockets in one of the years will eventually be signed by the Blazers, the Blazers. That lot goes to the Rockets...

It's just that, the Rockets got only one first-round pick in this deal.

Compared to other teams, the first-round picks are fewer.

Morey thought for a while, and finally decided to call for it.

No way, who makes the Blazers the most suitable player for the Rockets from these three teams?

Trailblazer president Steve Patterson is actually waiting very nervously in the president's office at the moment. Next to him, general manager John Nash is also waiting for the call with him.

This worried look resembled a family who had finished the college entrance examination and waited for their scores on the phone.

"Steve, do you think we have hope?" Maybe because he was too nervous to wait, John Nash tried to find a topic to relax.

"There is no hope, we will prepare the offer again. Anyway, we must persist until the last moment. You don't know bo..." Patterson was talking. The phone at the corner of the table rang at this moment, and his words came to an abrupt end. Subconsciously glanced at John Nash.

"Take it!" John Nash reminded.

He also quickly took the phone off: "Hey, this is Steve Patterson, who?"

"Hello, President Steve, this is Rockets general manager Morey!"

The comer self-reported his home, and he was the one Steve Patterson was thinking of.

I'm coming!

Steve Patterson used his eyes to tell John Nash the good news.

John Nash also secretly made a fist. Generally speaking, receiving a call at this time means that they have the initiative in the transaction!

This alone is enough to make them feel excited.

"Man, can I say that the cooperation is happy?" Steve Patterson also smiled.

"Sorry, President Steve, I think I still have a different opinion."

It was just Morley's words that made his face a lot more solemn.

Hey, it really isn't that simple!

A long way to go, still!

However, Steve Patterson adjusted quickly, and he quickly muttered a few words in his heart, his mentality stabilized again, and calmly said: "You can say your opinion, and we can try to unite as much as possible!"

"Then I'll just say it directly. We hope to get two first-round picks instead of a sign swap. Maybe you don’t know, President Steve, in any of the team’s quotations I’ve seen. , Both are two straight first-round picks. I believe that Yao is also worth the price!"

The other teams give it to me, so why are you still calling me?

Steve Patterson murmured in his heart.

He doesn't doubt the authenticity of Morey's words. As far as he knows, the Lakers even gave Shaq O'Neal a bargaining chip. To be honest, Patterson hadn't been sure of winning until just now.

But after Morey called him, he knew that they were already in the lead. Although he didn’t know why they were ahead of the Lakers, this is happening now. What factors must be influencing this. .

After a brief silence, Steve Patterson made a bold decision: "I'm sorry, General Manager Morey, the reason why we put Darius and Zach in the lineup is to make up for the shortcomings in this regard!"

Yes, he refused Morey's request.

It's not that he is reluctant to get a first-round pick. In fact, the Blazers' BOSS Paul Allen has spoken several times, and he must try his best to get Yao's name.

But now the other party has exposed a flaw in front of him, if he agrees so easily, he would be too mindless!

He must teach this young general manager a lesson and tell him that at the negotiating table, sometimes, not taking the initiative is better than taking the initiative to force the other party!

Morey was silent for a while facing Steve Patterson's words.

"I need to think..."

He hung up directly after speaking.

Unprepared to hang up, Steve Patterson didn't react at all. When he started to "hey hey hey", the busy tone in the microphone was already ringing, I don't know how long it has been!

"What's the situation?" John Nash was taken aback by his "hey hey hey". Wasn't it still in the game when he saw it a second? Why did you just hang up right now?

"I don't know either!" Steve Patterson looked blank.

Recalling my own operations, it seems that they are pushing and pulling. Isn't that all the negotiations?

What's the situation with this little newcomer? The rules of the arena, you push me and pull, don’t you understand it?

"Do you want to fight back?" John Nash asked again.

This stumped Patterson. He scratched his hair vigorously. After so many years of workplace experience, he made up his mind, "No, wait, he should still call!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but "grunt" himself.

Obviously, he himself was not sure whether what he said would come true.

When the phone hung up, Morey fell into entanglement. During this period, news about the deal gradually increased. Of course, this is also normal. Although the deal is still in progress, who can let you participate? So many people?

Once the number of participants increases, it will be revealed sooner or later!

As more and more people participated in the transaction of Yao Ming, time has passed closer and closer, and a lot of news has been exposed. From the beginning, senior reporters have stepped up to confirm that the Rockets will trade Yao Ming. , And then the bargaining chips of each team were disclosed one by one, the media in each city, as well as the players involved in the transaction, their reactions were different.

The media in Los Angeles are still very happy. After all, the Lakers took out Shaq O’Neal as a bargaining chip in the deal. Logically speaking, they should be in the lead.

Kobe is also very happy. Shaq is gone, and there is a Yao who interacted well with him before. Can he be unhappy? More importantly... Shaq is gone, no one will compete with him for the position of the boss, and no one will compete with him for the MVP of the finals!

Therefore, these days, he communicates with Kupchak very frequently these days, and he has to ask at least three questions about the progress of the transaction every day.

He never felt for a moment that trading is such a troublesome thing!

The news that the Hornets used Baron Davis to trade Yao Ming was also revealed. Baron Davis was dumbfounded after hearing this. It is said that he even went to the Hornets general manager’s office and cried out: "Don’t take me. Where do the trades go, the ghosts know when they sold me? Didn’t I perform well in the past season? Don’t trade me, I won’t talk about making movies anymore!"

Baron Davis was uncomfortable.

In fact, like Baron Davis, there are many players who are unwilling to play for the Rockets.

Just kidding, this team sold their champions as soon as they won the championship. There is no such thing as human touch. Who dares to go?

The Houston media are a little dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Morey to really dare to trade Yao Ming!

"Houston Chronicle" immediately issued an article: "If Yao Ming is traded, Darrell Morey will become a shame to Houston!"

After him, a lot of Houston media also followed up and issued articles, criticizing Morey severely.

Seeing that Morey did not hold a press conference to refute, they finally determined that Morey was indeed trading Yao Ming!

"Alexander, get out of Houston!"

"You don't deserve to own the Rockets, get out of here, Alexander!"

"If Yao left the Rockets because of you, follow along, Alexander!"

This time the Houston media have sprayed even harder, and this time they are no longer just spraying Morey, but directly firing at Alexander to get him out of the Rockets!

Then they successively issued articles to persuade Yao Ming to stay:

"Houston can't live without you!"

"Yao, we need you!"

"Stay and let Alexander go!"

Yao Ming naturally saw these reports.

He was watching while packing his luggage.

Well, there is still a little turbulence in his heart!

But he knew that Alexander could not leave the Rockets, and the NBA could not allow players to drive the boss away. It was terrible! It will also greatly affect the development of the NBA...

If he doesn't leave, then Yao Ming can only leave.

Speaking of which, he was quite surprised by the reaction of the Houston media this time. He thought that these guys would stand on the Rockets' side again to help him scold him!

But think about it, he just won the championship, these guys are heartless, it is impossible to forget the honor Yao Ming brought to this city so quickly.

If Olajuwon won the championship not in 1994 but in 1995, but in 2001 and 2002, this group of media would also be on his side.

It's just this kind of sentiment that when Yao Ming can no longer win the championship for this city, the backlash will be even more severe. Although the media are almost like this, the media in several cities such as New York and Houston are even more ruthless.

No way, the media in big cities always feel that they are superior.

Therefore, Yao Ming didn't take the retention of these media to heart. During this period, he met Tom, and then Battier and the others.

See you next time, maybe you'll show up as an opponent.

It was also at this moment that Yao Ming felt a bit of parting sadness.

To be honest, Yao Ming really did not expect that he would leave Houston so soon, of course, he must be happy.

But seeing these brothers, he is indeed a little bit more regretful. It is really a pity that he failed to achieve the title defense with them, especially, they have the ability to do such a thing!

Fortunately, they have already climbed to the top of the mountain, which is not too regrettable.

In the past few days, he was also very fortunate that he had chosen to open a restaurant in Houston for the first two years, otherwise he would have to deal with these things these days.

It's not as easy as it is now.

It’s worth mentioning that Yao Ming’s investments in the past two years have seen initial returns, such as Facebook. Before it was officially launched, Yao Ming bought its stocks. Although he didn’t buy much, he is now making a profit. Little two million.

Now this is the appetizer, the real money will be in the next two years!

Yao Ming is not in a hurry, just sit and wait to collect the money.

"I should have promised him!"

"Brother, I'm serious, I should have promised him!"

"If I could, if I had another chance, I would really agree to him without hesitation!"

While Yao Ming was packing his bags and bidding farewell to his brothers, Steve Patterson was in the general manager's office for the past two days, but it was annoying. Since finishing the call two days ago, Morey has not called again, and forced Steve Patterson into this look.

John Nash looked at him speechlessly.

It was not that he hadn't persuaded him, but because he had persuaded him several times. The more persuaded he found that Steve Patterson became more anxious, so he simply refused to persuade him.

"No, I have to call him, I can't wait!"

Steve Patterson paced back and forth in the office, his last patience was completely consumed by him, and he finally couldn't wait any longer and was about to call Morey over.

But at this moment, the phone in the corner of the table rang again.

Um?

Steve Patterson was stunned again.

"Take it!" John Nash reminded him.

"No hurry, if it wasn't for Morey's call, it would be useless. If it was Morey's call, since he took the initiative for the second time, it means that he really intends to trade with us. We have the initiative, no hurry! "

Steve Patterson explained patiently that he looked a little strange to John Nash. Is this still the Steve Patterson who was about to hang himself in a hurry?

Is it possible that as soon as this guy stops, IQ can re-occupy the high ground?

Steve Patterson didn't know what he was thinking. He listened to the bell, the bell rang three times, and he immediately answered: "Hey, this is Steve Patterson!"

After speaking, he unconsciously became nervous.

It's Morey!

It's Morey!

It must be Morey!

"Okay, buddy, you won. I don't need to ask you to give up the first round of picks, but you must add a second round of picks!" Morey's voice was weak, and he lost in the matter of being more patient. .

But how did he know that if he persisted for another three to five seconds, he would win!

I can only say that God doesn't help the villain either!

"Of course!" This time Steve Patterson no longer hesitated. He only signed the second round, and gave it as soon as he gave it. This is really not necessary. The second round is used to sign "child labor". Yes, I'm a pioneer, rich and powerful, need it? You want to give it to you!

"Which pick do you choose to swap between the 2005 and 2006 first round picks?" He asked again.

Morey thought for a while: "It's in 2005!" 2006 is already the second year Yao Ming went to the Trail Blazers. This guy led the Rockets to win the championship in two years, and changed the first round of 2006. It’s definitely not a good sign. It’s different in 2005. The new season is Yao Ming’s first year, when both Zachrandorf and Dalius Miles have been sent to the Rockets. , There is nothing in their team that can help Yao Ming, the record is definitely very poor, and the Rockets' lineup team is better than the Blazers in any way. When the time comes, the Rockets will make more money for the lottery.

Damn it!

Shameless!

Obviously Steve Patterson thought the same way. After hearing Morey's choice, he cursed fiercely in his heart, but still said with a smile: "Okay, man, that's it. NS!"

The two people then made a contract, signed their own words on the contract, and handed it over to the alliance.

Then just wait for the alliance to approve it.

"Happy cooperation, buddy!" Steve Patterson let out a long sigh of relief.

"..." Morey didn't want to say. From his own point of view, he didn't get the best interest in this deal. What could he do? His own boss gave such a big restriction and he can't play these old fritters now. What can he do? What to do?

It's pretty good to be able to get to this step now!

After comforting himself with a few words, Morey still said: "Happy cooperation!"

However, after speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Yes!"

"We made it!"

In the Portland president's office, Steve Patterson let out a cry of excitement after hanging up the phone, and then hugged John Nash excitedly!

Then he took out his mobile phone and called his boss Paul Allen the first time: "BOSS, it's done, it's done, Yao is here! Yao is here! We got Yao!"

Paul Allen was taking a bath in the pool in his backyard at the moment, kneading left and right, when he heard this, he pushed the two women beside him directly: "Good job, man, let us act. stand up!"

"What, what?"

What to do?

Paul Allen's words stunned Patterson.

Paul Allen was wearing clothes at a speeding speed: "What are you going to do! Now follow me to Houston, I will pick up Yao myself!"

He has been looking forward to Yao Ming for a long time!

Now I finally look forward to it, naturally extremely excited!

During the period, he didn't even glance at the two women who were still here just now. At this moment, the woman will only affect the speed at which he picks up Yao's name!

And when Paul Allen was excitedly shouting that he was going to Houston to pick up the plane, the league officially approved the Rockets' deal with the Trail Blazers.

Many media reporters learned about this at the first time and reported it immediately:

"The Blazers sent Darius Miles and Zach Randolph, as well as two first-round picks, China's No. 1 pick in the "Torn City"! 》

"Really changed teams! Huaxia champion Yao Ming was traded to Trail Blazers! 》

"The farce is over, the Chinese champion finally left the space city, will Houston be lonely again? 》

It's no wonder that this transaction was reported as soon as it was completed. There were too many people staring at it. In addition, with money, the news was revealed in the first place.

Also because there are too many media outlets, and most of them were reported in the first time, Yao Ming had not waited for Bill Duffy to call him before he knew the news.

Of course, because it was not the phone call from Bill Duffy, he didn't believe it at first. There was too much gossip news these years, but then Bill Duffy officially confirmed the news with him: "Man, we may be going. Trailblazer!"

"Okay, got it."

Yao Ming's expression has not changed too much. What should I say about this result is expected. Anyway, he has not thought that Alexander will send him to a very good team. This is for sure. Things, he knows this guy is such a careful person!

He doesn't think that Yao Ming has earned 800 million for me. He has quadrupled my worth. He only thinks that Yao Ming has betrayed him, so don't think about having a good life!

Normal, too normal...

Moreover, if I really want to say, the results of the Trailblazers are considered good for Yao Ming!

What he originally thought was that Alexander would send him to the Bobcats, or a place like New Orleans, that is the real situation.

Although "Tear City" has had a lot of problems in the past two years, but the boss has money and is willing to spend it. What Yao Ming wants is that the boss is rich and willing to spend money!

After all, if you really want to talk about team building ability, it is no exaggeration to say that adding the logo man plus Angie and Pat Riley is also a part of Yao Ming!

No way, knowing the future means you can do whatever you want!

"Okay, pack up, let's go to Portland!" Yao Ming is going to leave tonight. Since Morey came, he really didn't want to stay in this city anymore.

Don't think about it for a moment.

Only Bill Duffy stopped him: "Don't worry, Yao!"

"Huh?" Yao Ming felt that Bill Duffy, as his agent, should know his current attitude.

Bill Duffy quickly said: "The president of the Trailblazers just called me, and their boss said they would come to Houston to pick you up in person...with the private jet he just bought!"

"..."

See!

This is the rich man!

Compared with Paul Allen’s sincerity to pick him up in person, Yao Ming obviously values ​​his own private jet more seriously...

"OK, then you watch for a while, we will go to the airport and wait!"

Yao Ming can't play a big name because other people are so sincere.

"Don't worry!" Bill Walton agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Yao Ming was idle and idle, so he opened up news about the Trail Blazers on the Internet.

Yes, since he has already decided to go to the Trail Blazers, he naturally has to sketch his future!

In fact, Yao Ming doesn’t know much about the Trail Blazers. The memory of this team in his mind is probably just a few things: the famous "prison team" in the league, and the team doctor is the "veterinarian", from 2006 to 2007. The year’s draft had a brilliant operation. Aldridge, Roy, and "The Great" Oden were selected as three good team-building cores. They looked like they were about to rise. As a result, the three cores injured two. The impression of the team may be "cousin".

Another thing he was impressed with was that the owners of the Trail Blazers like to spend money. When the league’s annual salary of tens of millions is in power, they often smash tens of millions of contracts. , To some extent it is similar to Mark Cuban, maybe even crazier than Cuban.

It’s just that his luck is worse than that of Cuban. Cuban spent his entire life and got a Nowitzki. Paul Allen has been smashed until his own death and never saw the Blazers win the championship again!

It hurts!

He probably spent all his luck in meeting Bill Gates...

For the Trail Blazers of this period, Yao Ming really has no impression!

He first found a list of players for the Trail Blazers, and browsed them one by one: Ratliff, Damon Stoudemire, Telfair...

Not to mention, most of the titles are pretty loud.

For example, Ratliff, a famous block king in the league, has won a total of two "block kings" so far in his career. Actually it was 3 times, but the original "block king" in the 03~04 season was given by Yao's name. Snatched it.

It’s also worth mentioning that Ratliff originally came to the Trail Blazers during the Hawks’ deal with the Trail Blazers for Rasheed Wallace, but last year Wallace was not the same as before. Sent to the Eagles, but to the Pacers, Ratliff therefore played the entire season with the Eagles last season.

However, probably he is destined to come to the Trail Blazers. He became a free agent this summer and was snatched by the Trail Blazers with a two-year contract of 22 million yuan to "Tear City"!

Yao Ming looked at him, his eyes full of Kevin Cato.

Well, it's not bad, it's a manufacturable material!

It can be said that only this guy, Yao Ming is already full of hope for the new season.

Of course, a Ratliff just meets his personal needs, and the problem with this lineup is still quite big.

Since Yao Ming had successfully won the championship with the Rockets last season, he came to the Trail Blazers and was waiting for nothing. His idea was to build a Portland "Rockets" based on last year's Rockets as a template.

In fact, the most labor-saving way is to get all his old brothers from the Rockets to the Blazers. This is the most labor-saving method. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult. No two or three years may not work, but the problem lies in two Three years later, there are still a few of his old brothers who can maintain the state of last year. This has to be a question mark. Therefore, Yao Ming’s idea is to try to replicate the Portland Rockets. There is no requirement for the original crew.

And now, he already has "Kevin Cato" Ratliff.

In addition, he just seemed to have seen the name of "Fan Madman" Van Kessel. This is a fierce man whose ability on the bench is comparable to "Old Cat" Mobley.

The only problem is age. This year's "Fan Madzi" is already 34 years old. Will his state suddenly decline? It really has to be a question mark...

Kevin Cato has it, Mobley has it, then I still lack Shane Battier, Francis, Lagabel, Karl Malone... Uh, well, it seems a bit worse!

But it's okay, just take your time.

Paul Allen was so enthusiastic about him that Yao Ming believed that the Blazers should build the team according to his ideas, and the general manager should not see the scene of using various reasons to prevaricate after hearing him say that he wants to reinforce it!

Of course, Yao Ming dares to be so sure, and the reason is not only because Paul Allen came to Houston to pick him up in person, but also because this guy did not take the money as money. Just now Yao Ming slightly flipped through the process of the Blazers news. , He discovered that the Blazers had quietly spent 70 million in this summer, 22 million to renew Ratliff, 48 million to renew Miles, and that made two thousand. The annual salary of 10,000 grades...

Okay, too good!

This boss can handle it!

Yao Ming thought happily that the league was in a mess because of this deal!

The Los Angeles media were dumbfounded. They thought they had "Big Shark" as a bargaining chip, and they could get Yao's name no matter what, but they didn't expect the Rockets to even want "Shark"!

Kobe is also very sad.

"Shark" is inexplicable and a little sad. Why don't the Rockets change my name as Yao? Is my value now inferior to Yao Ming?

hateful!

Wait for me, Rockets!

I must have you know how good I am!

Of course, it is definitely not for the Lakers. Since this team wants to use him to trade Yao Ming, then he has no reason to stay here. He took the initiative to mention the trade with Kupchak again: trade me , The sooner the better!

Baron Davis and the others are also very happy, not having to go to Houston makes them feel like they have avoided a catastrophe...

Bill Walton is also very happy.

It’s time to reveal my identity as a trailblazer!

In 1977, the Trailblazers, which had just become for seven years, successfully won the first championship trophy in team history under the leadership of Bill Walton. Of course, it is the only one so far.

"Let us congratulate the Trail Blazers. They have won a superstar that can bring the Trail Blazers back to the top of the league. I believe that the second championship trophy belonging to the City of Torn is coming soon!"

Olajuwon was also very happy, but he couldn't show it: "It's a pity that we lost Yao in the end. This is a bit of disappointing news. However, I still sincerely wish Yao and hope he can continue to be here. The league is shining and I am very grateful to him for the third championship trophy he brought to Houston!"

Of course, it’s not all about Yao. Some media also discussed the Rockets’ gains in this deal: "Zach made very good progress last year, and this year he is also expected to officially become one of the best insiders in the league. , Miles can return to his more familiar position four, he is called the next Kevin Garnett, and his talent is slowly being realized, plus the scoring champion, at least in theory On the go, Houston will not be devastated because of Yao's departure. They are still a strong contender for the top four in the Western Conference!"

It is a pity that such optimists are in the minority after all.

After Yao Ming was officially traded, the Houston media has degraded Morey to nothing.

Many fans have begun to protest Morey and Alexander in a parade:

"Morey, get out of here, and return our Yao to us!"

"Go on, Alexander, you don't deserve Yao!"

"Silly boss and silly general manager, you ruined Houston, get out of here!"

There is one talk, but the scolding is still a bit too euphemistic!

Anyway, Yao Ming was sitting in the car heading to the airport, watching the parade of the Rockets fans, not feeling so delicious.

Well, what Yao Ming didn’t know was that when he was approaching the airport, the growing fan parade once caused traffic jams. What’s even more funny is that the people who originally drove the car saw that they denounced Alexander and Mo Lei’s parade had no cars, so he rushed out and started protesting with other parade.

"R you horse, refund the money!"

Well, this is still a fan who has bought the Rockets new season ticket!

Yao Ming stood in the square in front of the airport.

Turned his head and looked back.

The last time he turned his head and looked back here was in mid-July, when the Rockets had just finished their "championship" parade, and he left Houston with a vision for the new season.

And now, at the beginning of September, just one and a half months have passed, but so many things have happened. Francis has gone to the Magic and Yao Ming is also leaving Houston. The Rockets’ dual-core last season was traded this summer. NS……

Standing here at the moment, he feels a little bit of a human being.

He looked back at the poster he had seen in the night that night. At the moment, the blank was still there, but the poster was gone. Steve Francis had been traded for more than a month, and the poster had long since been withdrawn.

Not only him, Yao Ming saw his posters being removed one after another on the way to the airport.

Because he has also been traded.

The moment he was traded, the master of this city was no longer him!

The owner comes and goes, Houston is still the same Houston...

Farewell, Steve!

Yao Ming waved to the empty board and bid farewell to Francis.

Originally, he couldn't wait to leave Houston, but looking at this empty board, he would unconsciously think of the Rockets guys. He must admit that he has memories here!

A trace of parting melancholy surrounds him again.

"Go, Yao, Steve has already called me, they are here!" Bill Duffy yelled at him at this moment, and Paul Allen had arrived.

"coming!"

Yao Ming quickly followed, but before entering the airport gate, he still turned his head and glanced unconsciously.

Goodbye, Houston, never again!

On September 3, 2004, it was sunny and cloudless, but for the entire Houston, this was a gloomy day. On this day, Houston lost its owner!

Yao Ming officially entered the airport and walked through the gate of the airport. He was relieved for a while, as if he had broken free from the shackles that bound him.

At this moment, he was somewhat thankful that he had not sent any text messages to McGrady.

Since McGrady called him, he didn't say anything to this guy. Of course, McGrady didn't take the initiative to find him again. During the period, Yao Ming thought of sending him two messages to explain.

But at this moment, he felt that, fortunately, he didn't send it!

One is not two wide, Houston!

And... McGrady!

...

Many years later, Paul Allen once described how he felt when he first met Yao Ming: I seemed to see a section of the Blazers' glory coming towards me.

It can be seen how excited he was when he saw Yao Ming.

"OMG, man, you are really too tall!"

Paul Allen watched Yao Ming walk into him. As Yao Ming got closer and closer, his head was not consciously raised. When Yao Ming walked in front of him, his neck felt too large. Some tightened.

The last time Paul Allen looked at others this way was when he looked up at his dad when he was three years old.

This made him sigh with emotion: "So basketball is indeed a sport for adults, and you have the ability to rule the basketball court. This is given to you by God, Yao, welcome to join the trailblazers!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, and Yao Ming also stretched out his hand for the first time.

"I'm very happy too, Mr. Paul!"

Seeing that his hands were completely wrapped, Paul Allen couldn't help but swallow again: It's so big!

Then Yao Ming followed Paul Allen on his private jet.

Yao Ming has taken a lot of planes, and can even be described as many. But the number of private planes is not that many, but he has to admit that there are still differences between private planes and private planes.

This Paul Allen plane is obviously different from most private jets that Yao Ming has flew in the past.

Is this the life of the rich?

To be honest, Yao Ming never thought about how much money he would make when he reopened, but looking at Paul Allen's private jet, he had the urge to make more money for the first time.

Well, this is just a momentary impulse.

He will inevitably become the "Chairman Yao" of the China Men's Basketball Team. If Paul Allen enjoys life so much, he should have no chance. Therefore, after ensuring that his material life is better than most people, Qian More money and less money are really just numbers.

You don’t have to be so enterprising to make money!

Moreover, as far as his current investment is concerned, the future worth of billions is estimated to be easy, so let's play the ball well! God asked him to reopen, not for him to pounce on money, but for him to make up for his regrets!

"Okay, let's talk about it. Don't worry, I am not Alexander. I am not that stingy. Just tell me your requirements and I will satisfy them as much as possible!"

But when Yao Ming was looking at Paul Allen’s private jet, the latter couldn’t help but want Yao Ming to ask him!

This positive appearance can't help but make Yao Ming sigh, the boss and the boss are also different!

Well, for this guy's worth, it is obviously his pleasure to throw money, anyway, no matter how hard he hits, he won't make it so hard! To be honest, a boss of this level likes others to make abnormal demands towards him to stimulate his g-spot...

Yao Ming is not fake.

Foreigners don’t eat this set!

He said: "Then I just said it?"

"Let's talk!" Paul Allen waved a big hand, full of pride, giving Yao Ming the feeling as if he was saying: Hurry up, get up to the difficulty, must get up to the difficulty, come and stimulate me!

"First, I changed the Blazers team doctor. As far as I know, they are not the top in this industry. I need a more professional team doctor. This is very important to me, so that I can rest assured that I Entrust your health to them!"

Yao Ming's first request was to change the team doctor.

Before he reopened, the "veterinarian" of the Trail Blazers was well-known in this league. The Trail Blazers' vision of picking people in the draft is actually not a problem. They can pick good people every time, but the problem is to choose. After a few years, he retired with serious injuries, including the original Bill Walton. Although I don’t know if it was the same medical team at the time, or if it was a predecessor, Yao Ming definitely couldn’t let them have his own body.

This team of doctors must be changed!

Paul Allen was disappointed after hearing this. I thought it was something, wasn't it just a change of team doctor?

"Yao, don't worry, I will take care of this before the start of the training camp, and I will definitely invite you the most professional team!"

Okay, Yao Ming also noticed Paul Allen's lack of happiness, and he continued: "Also, the current lineup is not deep enough, we still need some reinforcement!"

I'm so excited when you say this!

Paul Allen couldn't help but straighten up, his face full of excitement.

This made Yao Ming feel a sharp difference again, but he waved his hand first: "Regarding the reinforcement of the lineup, for the time being, I have not practiced with the other teammates of the Trail Blazers, so I don’t know whether I need reinforcement. Where, I may have to wait for me to practice with the team for a period of time before I know what this team needs."

"Okay, Yao, but I want you to know that although this is only my first meeting with you, I trust you as much as I trust Steve. I know you will never let me down. , The Blazers will stand on top of the league under your leadership, and we will win the championship, right?"

Paul looked eager.

In fact, although the Trail Blazers have won a championship, this championship trophy has nothing to do with him. This belongs to the previous owner of the Trail Blazers. He was in 1987 and won the first championship in team history. This team was only bought after the trophy. So far, for almost 17 years, in these 17 years, he has spent crazy money and even gave Scott Pippen 20 million a year, just for Let the Trail Blazers win the championship, but unfortunately, so far, the best result of the Trail Blazers after he bought the team has only been to the finals, and that is still in the 90s. , 15 years have passed since now!

He really wants the team to reach the finals again, of course, what he wants more is that the team can win the championship trophy!

He can't wait!

That's why when Steve Patterson told him "We got Yao" ~www.novelmt.com~ he would come to Houston from Portland so happily to pick him up.

He is not excited about the commercial value behind Yao Ming, he is excited about Yao Ming, he doesn't care about money or not, he is not interested in money!

In his opinion, it is time!

It's time for the Trail Blazers to win the championship!

"certainly!"

Yao Ming also gave the promise he wanted.

"This is what I have been pursuing! I am also a trailblazer who came here for the championship!"

As Yao Ming finished the next sentence, he became a light in Paul Allen's eyes!

Five or six hours later, the plane stopped at Portland’s airport. Before getting off the plane, Paul Allen suddenly turned around and shook hands with Yao Ming again: "Man, welcome to Portland!"
