From today on is the king

Chapter 821 820. Cooking Wine Again
"What's the matter, BIG-YAO, come alone, come here early in the morning for breakfast?" Liu Mang teased.

This morning, when Liu Mang was woken up at seven o'clock, it was Levia who came to wake up Liu Mang and Alexia who were not covered by the quilt, because Yao Ming came.

After waking up, Alexia immediately turned into a good wife because a guest came. She didn’t learn the Chinese breakfast as agreed, but she suddenly learned it. After mixing Liu Mang and the fermented noodles sealed with plastic wrap, she started to bake omelets and fried eggs, make salads, etc...

"..." Yao Ming took a bite of the omelet, which tasted like his hometown. Jiaxing is next to Shanghai, and many tastes are similar.

"It's really here for breakfast!" Liu Mang was speechless, and the little girl on the side was also speechless. Alexia was continuing to make pancakes with Liu Mang's reconciled noodles, and Yao Ming could eat a little bit.

Yao Ming silently ate a few more egg pancakes, and burped when he ate them. Then he drank a large glass of milk, and burped again. The bodyguard at the side immediately handed Yao Ming a tissue.

"..." Liu Mang and Little Lolita looked at each other: This guy, did he lose to destroy our family?

Yao Ming slowed down, looked at Liu Mang and asked seriously, "Ace, I'm here to ask you something."

Seeing that Yao Ming was so serious, Liu Mang put away his teasing thoughts and nodded.

"How did you get the management to listen to your orders?" Yao Ming's tone was both puzzled and envious.

This is a good question. Liu Mang thought about it for a while. It was because he had "vision". Liu Mang thought about it for a while. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing should be that he has the initiative!
If it weren't for his own strength, and the relatively tough character of himself and his agent Schwartz, and the kind of character that can be spared, Liu Mang feels that he would not have such a high voice in the team.

The most important thing is the initiative brought by strength and character!
The relationship with the coach and his own vision, Liu Mang felt, these only strengthened his own initiative.

Without a direct answer, Liu Mang asked instead: "Dayao, what happened to you?"

"To tell you the truth," Yao Ming sighed, "After I attended BJ's celebration with you, I went back to Houston. When I found out that Nash and the Mavericks had fallen out, I immediately asked my agent to ask Alexander to say that he wanted to partner with Nash, but he refused, saying that a 31-year-old veteran who has no defense is not worth tens of millions of annual salary."

"To save money?"

"Yes, my agent also said the same thing. The Rockets never pay the luxury tax." Yao Ming directly stated the question he wanted to find an answer to.

Let Yao Ming be more direct and communicate better, which is Liu Mang's purpose of bringing out the wine. It was the same last time, and the effect seems to be pretty good. At least Yao Ming will take the initiative to talk to the management about it.

It’s not that Liu Mang likes to think about others. The main reason is that he has a good relationship with Yao Ming. Of course, personal reasons are also very important. Yao Ming’s stronger and longer career is very important to Liu Mang. Another point is that there are only a few Chinese who can play in the NBA, and one can help one.

However, upon hearing Yao Ming's direct answer, the corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Your general manager is poisonous..."

How insane is this?Bob Sura is also 31 years old and has serious injuries every year. Could it be that he can't defend?Anyway, solve the attack!With Richard Jefferson, Yao Ming, and Jim Jackson, the Rockets are the only team that can play the offense so badly.

"poisonous?"

"You can understand what that means."

"I can probably understand..."

The conversation between Liu Mang and Yao Ming earlier could be understood by the three girls who were quietly eating breakfast next to them, but the last paragraph of nonsense showed the profoundness of Chinese culture, and the three girls were at a loss.

Liu Mang mourned for Yao Ming, but that was Nash!
Even if Nash is not as good at playing in positional warfare, Nash in positional warfare still has the strength of an All-Star, and it is because Nowitzki is not good at pick-and-rolls, and the Mavericks do not often play pick-and-rolls. On the offensive end, Johnson thought about five players taking turns in singles, and Nash only played at the All-Star level.

Nash is not only a master of running and shooting, in other words, before he and D'Antoni are in perfect harmony this season, who would have imagined that he is a master of running and shooting?
In the past, Nash was a star who was famous for singles shooting and pick-and-roll passing!

The Rockets, a group of players who can pick and roll, Jim Jackson, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, and Yao Ming, are all pick and roll weapons, and they only need a pick and roll ball holder. In order to save 600 million a year, they choose Bob Sura instead of Nash.Yao Ming joined the Rockets, and in more than two years, the market value of the Rockets soared from 1.3 million to 5 million!

After a few seconds of silence for Yao Ming, Liu Mang thought of a solution.

Of course, how could such an important matter be discussed so casually?

Liu Mang said to Little Lolita: "Dinah, go get that half bottle of vodka, the half bottle!"

"Received!" Little Lolita hurriedly went to get the wine.

"Could it be..." Yao Ming had black lines on his face.

Levia also rolled her eyes, and followed Little Lolita to get two Luo cups.

Then, Yao Ming watched as Liu Mang poured half a glass of wine into each of the two glasses. Liu Mang didn't drink. He was going to drive soon. Yao Ming took a big sip by himself. He called the car rental company. After taking a big sip, his face turned red when he swallowed it.

"Dayao, do you like the Rockets?" Liu Mang asked a very important question.

"I liked it at first, but now, every time I see the Suns' game report, and see Alexander again, I feel uncomfortable." Yao Ming also became more serious after drinking, and became more direct, making no secret of his dissatisfaction with the Rockets now.

If Yao Ming was the only player in China who had gained a firm foothold in the NBA, Yao Ming would not say such things, but now that there is Liu Mang, the pressure on him is much less, especially after Liu Mang joins the national team.

This will not affect Yao Ming's commercial value, but it will allow Yao Ming to be more self-willed.
The original Yao Ming would not have raised the issue of Nash, but now he has "dare" to raise it, and he is not afraid of being pointed out by the media that he interferes with the team's operation.

Because there was Liu Mang standing in the way, Liu Mang's reputation was as bad as it could be, and Yao Ming didn't make outrageous suggestions, but his suggestions could make him appear more assertive.

"Will you consider changing teams?" Liu Mang continued to ask.

"If possible, I hope to persuade the management to sign in." Yao Ming replied honestly.

"Ah?" This answer was beyond Liu Mang's expectations. What about the wayward attitude just now?
"I just opened a restaurant in Houston, and they won't trade me. My commercial value is too high." Yao Ming still has a lot of concerns.

Liu Mang reorganized his thoughts and found a solution.

"Dayao, right now, there are three paths in front of you." Liu Mang thought of three possibilities.

"So much?" Yao Ming's eyes lit up.

"Of course, the one in front of you is handsome and intelligent." Liu Mang flirtatiously stroked the crew cut that Alexia shaved in the morning.

"……speak English."

Liu Mang said seriously: "Okay, no kidding, the first way is for you to accept the reality, of course, if you are really stupid enough to accept the reality, you won't come to me.

So, what you can do now is the second way, try to find the management forcefully to ask for signings, threaten them with applying for a deal, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.

The third way is partly the same as the second way. You can go to the management forcefully and ask for signings. If you don’t apply for a deal, see what they will do. If they are still reluctant to spend money in the end, you don’t renew the contract. After completing the four-year rookie contract, force them to choose. More than 800, it's only 400 million less, you just need to sign two more endorsements.

Besides, anyway, I don’t think your team can win the championship. There are eight or nine players on our team with rookie contracts who have to pay the luxury tax. Your salary is only 4800 million, which is less than the salary cap. You are good enough to make it to the playoffs. "

"So direct..." Yao Ming felt hit.

"What do you think?" Liu Mang pursed his lips.

"Well, this is what I'm worried about. I don't see any future at all." Yao Ming said with a wry smile.

"Dayao, you can choose these three paths yourself. Of course, if there is a better way, you can also try it." Liu Mang is just giving advice, and it is up to Yao Ming himself to choose.

"I understand, thank you Ace." Yao Ming said sincerely.

"We are brothers, what are you talking about?" Liu Mang said that this is what I should do.

"Yes, brother!"

The two unrighteous guys became brothers again.

"By the way, I'm hungry again. It's been a long time since I tasted the taste of my hometown. Aida, can you help me make some more egg pancakes to take away?" Yao Ming is really rude!
"Of course it's okay. You like to eat. I'm so happy. Wait for me." Alexia replied in Chinese with a strange tone.

"..." Liu Mang couldn't help but look at the little Lolita again: This is the brother!
"By the way," Liu Wei suddenly thought of something, and said to Yao Ming, "Yao, I have a suggestion. During the regular season, you can learn from O'Neal in the Lakers period."

"Like O'Neal? Of course, I'm slowly gaining weight now." Yao Ming thought that Liu Mang was making him a dominant center.

In the summer of 05, after playing with McGrady for a season, the Rockets suddenly asked Yao Ming to increase his weight to more than 140 kilograms to become a heavy weapon, which caused his knees and toes to suddenly increase in weight by nearly 40 pounds, which is [-] or [-] kilograms. Now Yao Ming is gradually gaining weight, and his knees and feet are more adaptable, which is relatively beneficial to his career.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is, during the regular season, Yao, if you are tired, tell the coach that you are tired. You are the No. [-] center in the Western Conference! You have to take the privilege that the No. [-] center in the Western Conference should have! Just like me, if you want to shoot, McGrady or Jason Terry, you have to obediently pass the ball to me!" Liu Mang said and glanced at the window.

"This……"

"You can think about it and use your physical energy wisely. If you don't learn from O'Neal's successful example, what are you learning from Ewing? Can you be the same as Ewing? If you don't gain weight, you will be more than ten kilograms heavier than Ewing. It's better to learn from Olajuwon. Now you gain weight and learn from Olajuwon. Be tougher, if you want the ball, you need the ball, if you don't pass the ball to you, just tell Van Gundy..." Liu Mang began to teach the children bad... no, he taught the big friends bad.

In order to make a bigger difference in international competitions, apart from having the glory of the Chinese people and allowing teammates to collectively have a 60-70 ability evaluation in international competitions, having another superstar teammate is the real key!

What Yao Ming lacks is not his strength, but his aura. He needs to be a little bit worse. As for whether he can succeed, Liu Mang expressed that he has tried his best...

……

……

Yao Ming walked and gnawed on a few egg pancakes... no, he left Liu Mang's house full of troubles, and was going to have a good discussion with the management team.

Of course, the benevolent and righteous brothers are not benevolent and the other is unrighteous, Yao Ming is not benevolent, but there is still righteousness.

Yao Ming is organizing his words, he will say that this is his idea, he will not sell Liu Mang, and he is going back to discuss this matter with his team.

On Liu Mang's side, after having breakfast with Yao Ming, he complained for a long time with Little Lolita that Yao Ming was too indecisive.

Liu Mang now recalled that McGrady, who had never met him before, had an indecisive temper and a casual mentality. When he met Yao Ming, who was also indecisive, it would be strange to be able to play.

Now that the two are separated, they both have to take on more responsibilities. Without a teammate who seems to be able to shirk responsibility, Yao Ming has no choice but to push, so the more he plays, the more confused he becomes. Especially after losing 36 points just now, his dissatisfaction with the team suddenly exploded, so he came to Liu Mang to clarify his doubts.

As for McGrady... met a certain No. 1 player and became a hard-working Mai Mama...

After complaining for a while, the team called. Liu Mang took the packed luggage of Levia and Alexia, drove to the airport, and was about to start another five consecutive passenger journey.

The first stop is New York playing the Knicks, followed by the Celtics, Hornets, 76ers, and Pistons.

Starting from playing against the Heat, the Eagles actually started the devil’s schedule at the end of November. Of course, before the season started, people thought it was a devil’s schedule. Except for the 11ers, all six opponents of these teams were last season’s playoff teams. After Iverson returned from injury, the 76ers were also at the playoff level.

But no one thought that the Knicks seemed to be on the rise last season. This season, Alan Houston was directly reimbursed for not playing a game. The Knicks won less than [-]%. James Dolan has already begun to urge the amnesty clause.

After the Hornets officially moved to the West, it was unexpected that they were ranked last in the league. Of course, the Celtics, 76ers, and Pistons have become stronger, which still makes the Eagles feel tricky.

This is also an opportunity for coach Kruger to be both worried and determined to change the team.

Take advantage of playing against strong teams to try to see if the new tactics are suitable under pressure.

If there is no good effect, give up decisively and don't delay for too long.

Liu Mang is also very familiar with this matter, so he was so serious before so that his teammates should not be careless.

But when he really arrived in New York...someone picked him up...Liu Mang just remembered, New York!Grandpa's home field!
