Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 252: Chris Paul's little resistance

Latest website: Steve Patterson just called Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr., who was also taken aback when receiving the call. He didn’t really expect Steve Patterson to give him this one. Telephone, and the object of the transaction was Michael Finley, who he had not sold out after calling others several times before.

Is this... fraud?

Little Nelson, who was a little vague, did not immediately agree, but instead called his father, Old Nelson.

It’s just that Old Nelson scolded him back: "Am I still the general manager of the Mavericks? You can trade whatever you like. You can sign it if you look good. Anyway, that stupid fork made a lot of cerebral palsy trades. Could it be worse than him?"

That silly cross refers to Mark Cuban.

Little Nelson listened, this is indeed the truth.

The deal looks pretty good, and even if something really happens, it can’t be more than Mark Cuban’s release of Steve Nash.

That's a regular season MVP for nothing!

In fact, if you listen carefully, Little Nelson can also hear that Old Nelson meant to persuade him to make this deal, and he can still trust his father, Little Nelson!

Moreover, the quotation given by Steve Patterson is really good...

Others don't say, Outlaw alone has made little Nelson very greedy!

He was going to buy out Michael Finley's contract forcibly. Now that he can trade Michael Finley for such a guy with a good future, how could he not be tempted?

"Man, happy cooperation!"

When I called Steve Patterson again, Nelson Jr. also expressed his desire to cooperate.

However, "It is enough for these three guys to add a second round lottery. I think we don't need it!"

This made Steve Patterson stunned.

The first time I heard that there are still too many chips!

He had to take Hesheng Town from the trading list again.

At this time, there were no more problems, and the two sides completed the transaction happily.

"Nothing? Okay, I see, it's okay, as long as you can trade Michael Finley over!"

At this time, Yao Ming, who had already returned to China for the recording of "This Is Basketball", was also dumbfounded after hearing about it. He really didn't expect He's market to be so bad that he couldn't send it out as a lead.

Forget it, don't send it out if you didn't send it out!

Anyway, it didn't affect this transaction!

Yao Ming didn't care about this anymore. During the next period of time, he would devote himself to the recording of "This Is Basketball".

At the same time, Michael Finley also learned that he was traded to the Trail Blazers: "Didn't it mean buying me out?" He was also sad for a long time.

His agent said: "Originally, Nelson Jr. was going to buy out, but then Trailblazers Steve Patterson called Jr. Nelson and wanted to trade for you. I heard that Yao meant it. He said that everyone has Strong players should be given enough respect, it is not appropriate to buy out!"

"Is that what he said?" Michael Finley felt all kinds of feelings in his heart for a moment.

He has not forgotten that when Yao Ming first entered the league, he provoked the latter, thinking that he should not use Michael Jordan's classic quotes.

This is also one of his few active provocations!

But no way, who would let a rookie rub the heat of his idol!

But in the end, he failed to keep his idol's popularity, and was severely humiliated by Yao Ming's "flying buckle".

He still remembers this matter until now, for him, it is really impressive.

But he did not expect that the guy who was provoked by him would actually do such a thing after hearing that he was going to be forcibly bought out!

You say, can he not have mixed feelings?

"You can ask Yao's phone number for me. I need to send him a text message!" Michael Finley wanted to thank Yao Ming for himself.

"Okay, got it!"

It is that his agent is not very happy.

Because Yao Ming did this, he lost a certain amount of income. After knowing that Michael Finley was going to be forced to buy out, he had already begun to find a home for Michael Finley.

In the free trading market, if you can get Michael Finley for only three or four hundred, it’s a good deal. In other words, the reason why Nelson Jr. sells Michael Finley around has nothing to gain, except for the contract with Michael Finley. High, about ten million or so, also related to their idea of ​​waiting for the little Nelson to buy out!

Although Michael Finley has begun to decline from his peak, he still has the ability to play ordinary starters...

Among them, the Spurs coach Popovich is the most active, even the contract is ready, 4.86 million a year, as Michael Finley’s agent, he can get 4% of this contract, which is about 190,000 .

But now, the money is gone because of the Trail Blazers' intervention, and the duck in hand has flown. Can he not be angry?

"damn it!"

Also angry is Popovich. He has already signed the contract. He waited for Nelson to buy out Michael Finley, and waited for Michael Finley and his agent to come to San Antonio to sign!

I didn't expect that the news had been heard for two or three days, and the contract details had been negotiated. This guy was stupefied by the Blazers!

"It's Huaxia again!"

"Really are!"

"Bah!"

The angrily Popovich slapped the table hard, making his hands tremble slightly, and only waiting for the official announcement of the league: "The Trail Blazers sent Outlaw, Matt Barnes, Pete Ruth got Michael Finley from the Mavericks!"

This deal has also attracted a lot of attention in the league because of the old grievances between Yao Ming and Michael Finley. Everyone wants to know what kind of mood Michael Finley will feel when he knows that Yao Ming is his teammate.

However, before this, there are many details about the transaction circulated.

Soon, like Michael Finley, everyone in the league also knew that this deal was facilitated by Yao Ming!

Michael Finley, who would have been forced to buy out, so this transaction avoided the embarrassment of being bought out.

"Is this Yao's pattern? I really love it!"

"I've always said that Yao is a big-picture person, and he knows what matters most!"

"If the Blazers win the championship in the new season, it will be a very classic story! I think it will be no less than Michael Jordan's saying that we are still one rebound from the championship. Even in terms of human relationships, it is better than that. story!"

Because of these rumors, the league has a new perspective on Yao Ming!

This guy is really getting more and more stable!

As for the Portland media and the fans, they were moved to cry. In order to bring the city a championship, Yao Ming was actually willing to cooperate with the players who deliberately provoked him before, and also specifically asked for a mandatory buyout. Before the transaction, is this just to save Michael Finley's face? ?

No, this is to make sure that you can get him 100%!

What kind of spirit is this to make him take the initiative to propose to do so!

Damn, this man, he is so gentle!

"In the future, I will definitely be Yao's death squad. Who dares to speak ill of Yao, I will definitely be the first to go back!"

"The same for me!"

"The same for me!"

If Yao Ming has conquered the Blazers fans in one season, now, through this matter, he has completely let the Blazers fans die!

Feelings are so sublimated again!

Yao Ming just doesn't know how the Polish guys are already moved because of him, otherwise, he will definitely look dumbfounded...

Obviously I didn't do anything!

——Hey, Yao, I’m Michael Finley, thank you, man, I don’t know what to say, but thank you so much. Let’s cheer for the new season!

However, Yao Ming received a text message from Michael Finley that night, and he probably learned about the current situation. After learning about it, he laughed directly into an emoticon!

"Steve, Steve, you really have you!"

With this man, Yao Ming really feels more and more comfortable!

He can be sure that these rumors were definitely passed on by him, otherwise, the rumors of these transactions would definitely not have spread so quickly, and the version is still so outrageous.

The most important thing is that Steve Patterson only discussed the deal with him, and proceeded directly after the discussion. Basically exclude the possibility that other people know.

Because the transaction is a kind of transaction, and it is a transaction of a kind of hustle and bustle, the less people know the better, if it is not because Yao Ming’s identity is placed here, and the object of this transaction is a bit contradictory to Yao Ming, Shi Steve Patterson probably wouldn't even say it.

As for why he did it.

Yao Ming can also guess it.

It's just for Michael Finley to remember Yao Ming's love, and to play well with Yao Ming, so that the Blazers in the new season can have a happy team atmosphere!

From the text message that Michael Finley sent to Yao Ming, it can be seen that Steve Patterson's move obviously played a very obvious effect.

However, Yao Ming earned not just a favor of Michael Finley in this matter, but also the loyalty of the entire Portland!

To put it bluntly, even if he only played in this city until the end of the season, this group of fans would sway the Blazers management to retire his jersey!

Because this man is so gentle!

Steve Patterson is really good, this brother can do it!

After gaining such a big wave of prestige, Yao Ming also has a more favorable impression of Steve Patterson, but he did not call or text the latter.

This kind of thing does not need to be brought to the table to talk about, just you know and I know, everyone knows it!

Yao Ming has nothing to guarantee, so his position as president has become more and more stable!

As long as Yao Ming is in Portland for one day, the president of the Portland Trail Blazers is Steve Patterson.

Although Yao Ming didn't tell Steve Patterson this, but since he has this idea, if he doesn't say it, it's not a big deal!

Even if you don't say it, Steve Patterson is so good, he can't guess it?

In fact, Steve Patterson is already sitting in his office, drinking victory coffee.

This wave of marketing is really successful!

Of course, he didn't expect to cause such a big reaction. Originally, he only wanted to help Yao Ming get Michael Finley's favor, but he didn't expect that the whole Portland was moved by it!

Well, maybe because the person doing this is Yao Ming...

It's really impossible for other people to cause such a big impact!

For this, Steve Patterson is still clear.

With the addition of Michael Finley, the Blazers’ reinforcement and signing work in this off-season was basically completed smoothly, but because Michael Finley was exchanged for three players, it was originally a 15-man roster. The Trail Blazers need to add 2 more places.

Of course, by now Steve Patterson is no longer in a hurry, and now the entire Trail Blazers lineup is well constructed.

The next two places are more based on the training camp situation and the list of remaining players in the free market.

Anyway, don't plan too early.

This can be seen from the fact that Yao Ming knew that Michael Finley had come to the Trail Blazers and did not continue to urge the next trade... he was already very satisfied.

Steve Patterson’s job is to satisfy Yao Ming.

Now that Yao Ming is satisfied, he can naturally relax for a while, such as drinking a cup of winning coffee, calling out the roster of this season, and admiring the success of this summer for a while!

The entire recording process of the second season of "This Is Basketball" took only half a month to play. Since the first experience is already there, the whole shooting process is smoother this time.

During this period of time, apart from seeing a group of outstanding basketball teenagers, Yao Ming also accidentally learned that many basketball training bases have emerged in the country in the past year!

This is actually a good imagination. At least it shows that the atmosphere of basketball has become stronger. More and more people are beginning to like basketball. Otherwise, no one would spend money on basketball training camps.

This is what Yao Ming hopes to see.

The people's love value for basketball is high, so that more children can be exposed to the sport of basketball from an early age!

Only in this way can there be successors!

Of course, this is only one small step among small steps, gm is still unsuccessful, the basketball guy is still on the way...

There are many things Yao Ming needs to worry about!

Fortunately, this step is at least solid!

During the filming of "This Is Basketball" by Yao Ming, the Asian Championships officially started. Although Yao Ming was missing this time, and Sun Yue was not able to report in the end, there are still Wang Zhizhi, Battelle and the team of the China Men’s Basketball Team. Yi Jianlian, the three current players, former and upcoming players in the NBA, are still very strong in the lineup!

However, at this time, it is not only the China Men’s Basketball Team that is strong. The men’s basketball team of the country and the countries that have a good life are also very good, especially the "Little Kuailing" of the country. The basic skills are very solid and the cooperation is also very good. tacit agreement!

Both the group stage and the knockout stage brought great troubles to the China Men's Basketball Team.

However, both times ended up with the victory of the China Men's Basketball Team.

In this period of China’s men’s basketball team, even if there is no Yao name, there is no problem in dominating Asia, although the process will not be so easy... but if you win, you win!

The champion is the champion!

The blue shoes breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, as long as they have results!

Speaking of which, compared with foot shoes, people with blue shoes are not bad, but they dare to try boldly. Foreign coaches and domestic coaches are trying to reform everything. Unlike foot shoes, all kinds of show operations, such as In the 2021 World Cup finals, so many players have been planned, but they have limited their playing time by themselves, and they will not be allowed to play when they are behind. It is really stupid to set up a torii after being a biaozi!

However, some domestic media sounded a wake-up call to the China Men’s Basketball Team in this victory: “Although we won this time, one thing that must be clear is that without Dayao, we will still be challenged in Asia. Only when Yao is here, we can really break the wrist with the world's mighty power!"

When Yao Ming saw these news, he was very happy. He did not play this Asian Championship. In addition to letting him get more rest, it also wanted to let more people in the country know that our talent pool is still very large. weak! Although it is only some media, more media are optimistic that "we are No. 1 in Asia without Yao's name, and with Yao's name we are a world-class team!"

But enough people with these worries!

At least it can make Yao Ming feel less lonely!

With the end of the Asian Championships, Wang Zhizhi also got good news. With his outstanding performance in the Asian Championships, averaging 15.5 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, he successfully won a year 2 million contract from the Heat.

For Wang Zhizhi, who has no other team's offer so far, this is also a good contract, so he gladly accepts it.

Yi Jianlian's performance in this Asian Championships was not bad. Harris really liked him. Without a Yao name, this guy gave Yi Jianlian enough shots.

With an average of 13.1 points per game, he is the second most scoring player in the national team.

Seeing his rookie performance on the stage of the Asian Championships, the Orlando media are also very happy.

Yao Ming is also very pleased with Yi Jianlian's performance. Think about this guy when he entered the national team for the first time two years ago, it was also the Asian Championship. At that time, he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the game, but now, just two. In 2015, it has become an important point that the Chinese men's basketball team can rely on.

Progress is not small!

Yao Ming returned to Portland immediately after filming the half-month variety show. Next, he is about to start his second phase of personal training this summer, which is almost a month away.

This time the training is mainly about personal offensive skills, as well as physical training.

He did not play in the Asian Championships this year. In the absence of actual combat, he must polish his offensive skills. Otherwise, he would really be "rusty"!

He also invited Kwame Brown to train with him.

As his starting partner for the next few years, he was quite satisfied with Kwame Brown in all aspects. The only thing he was dissatisfied with might be his catch!

It's too easy to butter your hands...

As a result, many of Yao Ming's assists that should have been obtained were wasted.

Therefore, Yao Ming arranged for him a special training for receiving and serving the ball.

He didn't believe it, there are players who can't hold the ball by nature!

Anyway, it's an inside player, no matter how small this hand is, it can't be so small that it can't catch the ball!

In fact, Kwame Brown's hands are not small, at least larger than Kobe's. This inability to catch the ball still has something to do with his psychology... In theory, intensive training is definitely useful!

Since then, Yao Ming entered the special training phase with Kwame Brown in the following time. After a month of training, Yao Ming gradually recovered his feelings, and Kwame Brown's catching of the ball became more and more smooth.

Yao Ming also made him more difficult, such as catching the ball with one hand, and jumping a "ballet" after catching the ball. At first, due to psychological burden, his performance was not ideal, but with Yao Ming's encouragement and training times More and more, his catching effect is getting better and better.

Even when the special training was about to end, Kwame Brown was a little bit reluctant to end this special training. All the sparring partners here were very patient, and Yao Ming spoke nicely. He really, really likes it here!

Watching Kwame Brown gradually regained his cheerfulness, Yao Ming also secretly said in his heart: I hope all my efforts have not been in vain!

As long as Kwame Brown can catch the ball steadily, he is definitely an "enhanced version of Kevin Cato". After all, Kwame Brown's physical talent is at the level of Dwight Howard!

In the joint trial that year, this was a fierce man who scored 109 points!

Otherwise, I really thought that Michael Jordan would choose him for no reason!

That is to say, Michael Jordan’s PUA and the basketball IQ is not too high, it just made him fail to hit his real talent limit...

The one-month special training officially ended, and the days when the closed training camp arrived. Because there were only three or four days, Yao Ming didn't arrange any more work for himself, and relaxed for four days.

Work and rest!

It's just that he didn't arrange anything for himself, but Peak has plans to launch Yao Ming's second signature shoe. The signature shoes have been basically designed, and then they need to be promoted in advance. As a spokesperson, Yao Ming naturally has to worry about it. After all, Xu Jinnan does not worry less about the variety show "This Is Basketball". Many things are done by himself. Since he is unambiguous, he can't neglect.

That's it, Yao Ming spent the last few days before the start of the new season on running propaganda...

Yao Ming's second signature shoe was originally called "MVP", but because Yao Ming suddenly transferred to the Trail Blazers, Peak's planning team finally launched a "new challenge."

The sneakers are pure black this time.

To be honest, black is indeed a very classic color, especially when it comes to shoes, many stars have black style sneakers that have become classics.

In fact, it can be seen from this aspect that Peak is still very cautious. After the big red success last time, it did not rush to try other colors.

But that's right, for Yao Ming, he also likes some classic colors!

It's not quite what he wants.

It's like now, he was dressed to the rose garden with satisfaction! ——September 18th came, and the Blazers closed training camp for the new season officially opened...

"After you see the faces of the three of us clearly, when we come, we will prepare Bing Kuo Luo and Hamburg for me, and take good care of our numbers. Except for the three of us, no one cares about you. Understand? "

Early in the morning, Karl Malone pulled Yao's name and Vince Carter started "teaching" the newcomers.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the boss of our Trail Blazers, Yao! They are all called bosses!"

"Boss..."

Not to mention the two newcomers this year, they are quite obedient. When Karl Malone said, he called "the boss" timidly, which made Karl Malone a little disappointed.

Hey~

There is no chance to "elbow"!

Yao Ming and Vince Carter looked at each other helplessly.

Okay, let's "black workers" again!

"No, there should be a new talent right!"

Karl Malone counted against Louis Williams and Gortat for a long time, but the more he counted, it was not right. There were only two!

I should have signed 3 rookies this year!

"Chris has gone to the training ground to train!" Louis replied.

"So positive?" Karl Malone raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder it's so good!"

Just...why is my elbow itchy?

Yao Ming was also a little surprised, he really didn't expect Chris Paul to be so diligent.

But also, as far as his height of 183 is, if he is not diligent, his talent alone cannot be so brilliant, not every 183 has the physical talent of Allen Iverson!

It's just that this is a bit out of gregariousness! Without waiting for anyone else, I went to the training ground first... This is not a good phenomenon!

Of course, this is nothing surprising. Again, the two best No. 1 positions in 2005 are indeed very talented. The only problem is that the personality is too bad!

Deron Williams is heartless and Chris Paul has a strong desire to control. If Chris Paul becomes a coach after retirement, it is no exaggeration to say that he is another Larry Brown, not that he will be a player under PUA, but It means that this guy will also require the entire team to obey his arrangements like the army!

Take your time, this thorny rose is not so easy to handle.

Soon Lagabeel and Michael Finley, who joined in the off-season, also came to the arena, and they all found Yao Ming to give a warm hug as soon as they entered the goal.

With more people in the dressing room, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The joy and happiness made Yao Ming less worried by half.

It now appears that the only thorn in this team is Chris Paul.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the training ground!"

As the people arrived, Yao Ming said hello, and everyone walked past Yao Mingchao's training ground one after another.

Louis and Gortat walked at the back, with seven or eight backpacks hanging on their bodies. Except for the backpacks of Ariza and He Shengzhen, which were carried by themselves, everyone else's backpacks were hanging on them!

"Now I know why Chris asked us to go to the training ground sooner too!" Louis said to Gortat with a bitter expression.

Just now when Chris Paul left, he called the two of them, but the two of them did not follow.

Gortat comforted: "Wait, he will be even more miserable then!"

Soon, Yao Ming saw Chris Paul. He arrived early and his chest and back of his training suit were completely wet at this time, and he was obviously very engaged in training.

After seeing Yao Ming, he took the initiative to lean in, but when he walked past, when he saw Louis and Gortat with backpacks on their bodies, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, making you guys. Two don't listen to me!

Be "cleaned up"!

Fortunately, I run fast!

Moreover, I came to warm up in advance, there is a valid reason, I believe these old birds can not tell me!

"Yao..."

"Hey, the newcomer over there, go, buy me a hamburger, and bring a bottle of ice!"

But he didn't wait for him to say hello! Karl Malone spoke first. It was an old routine, and Ariza and He Shengzhen looked very familiar.

Yes, yes, that's how he played, and he played with us like that last year!

Chris Paul obviously didn't really want to go, but he didn't dare to refuse directly: "The training will begin soon. If I go now, the coach will think I'm late later!"

Unexpectedly, Karl Maron said: "Yes, it's because the training will start right away. It's almost as hot as you come to warm up in advance. We still have to warm up, so let you go!"

"I……"

Chris Paul was speechless for a while.

He suddenly discovered that it seemed that there was no good reason, and these old birds didn't make sense at all!

"Why are you so boring!" Karl Malone felt a little impatient when he saw that he hadn't left yet.

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Upon seeing this, Chris Paul didn't dare to hesitate anymore.

Gortat watched Chris Paul go grimacing, and glanced at Louis subconsciously. Although he didn't say a word, what he wanted to say was written on his face: Look, I'll just say it! He will be even more miserable then!

I have to say that Gortat's thinking is quite accurate. After Chris Paul bought the burgers and Bing Kuo Luo came back, Karl Malone asked him to run to buy burgers and Bing Kuo Luo for the team.

"Okay, okay, I'm going now!" Chris Paul, who was scolding his mother, with a smile on his face, walked out the gate of the training ground again.

Louis looked at him at his unlucky appearance. He was full of luck at this moment, who had just regretted it. Fortunately, he didn't listen to him at that time!

This "harmful"!

Almost killed by him.

As for Chris Paul, he looked helpless.

Don't I just want to dodge my bag, as for being so directed at me!

Wouldn’t it work if I didn’t dare next time?

The first-timers "Cannon Fist" paid the price for his little resistance.

Yao Ming didn't mean to stop Karl Malone. He watched the whole process with cold eyes. If the "black worker" set when he first arrived in the locker room was completely unnecessary, because Louis and Gortat were both obedient, it would be good for Chris. It is so necessary for Paul to engage in this special set of targets!

After all, this guy came to warm up by himself on the first day of the closed training camp, which is too gregarious.

No matter what he thinks~www.novelmt.com~ From Yao Ming's perspective, he must be suppressed.

But he still whispered to Karl Malone: ​​"It's almost enough, this is only the first day, don't overplay it!"

Karl Malone nodded and said: "I know, this is not the first day you are not honest, otherwise I can not give him the face of the No. 1 show in the first round!"

It’s just that Chris Paul’s "disaster" did not end. Karl Malone did not toss him, but when he came back, Cheeks and old Nelson had already arrived. Seeing that they were already here, Chris Paul came. Also a little unhappy.

"Your name is Chris, right? Let's run 5 laps around the arena!"

"I... yes, coach!" Chris Paul wanted to explain, but after thinking about the consequences, he finally confessed his fate aggrievedly and ran away.

Karl Malone squeezed a smile and said: "Okay, don't blame me this time!"

"This child should have a long memory this time too!"
