NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 50 Recruiting Yao Ming
"Duncan and Ginobili of the Spurs participated in the points game organized by Li Zheng in Seattle. Why don't these guys prepare for the finals and go to other people's homes to play wild ball?" McGrady complained about the TV while drinking the first cup of coffee in the morning His wife brought him fried eggs and toast, but McGrady was not in a very beautiful mood.

A healthy Yao Ming represents dominance, represents the core of the inside, and also represents a change in the status of the team. The same is true for a healthy McGrady.

McGrady envied Kobe very much, and he was sure that Yao Ming didn't have the dominance like O'Neal, but he wanted the championship, and even more wanted the position of team leader, and Yao Ming's threat was imminent.

If they can't usher in a change next season, then Yao Ming and himself must make one.
McGrady carefully calculated the changes in the western teams. It cannot be said that the Rockets have no chance of winning the championship, but the possibility is very small. It is not easy to make a career, but he has reached his peak age. He is sure that what he desires is the championship. If he wins the championship with a core position, if the championship cannot be forced. Then the core position of the team and the big contract are his final choice.

McGrady has an approximate answer to the multiple-choice question between himself and Yao Ming. The stingy boss probably won't give up Yao Ming, a cash cow. The Huaguo market is too huge. Even he has received cooperation from countless Huaguo companies. Seems obvious.

This is also the reason why McGrady didn't go to Seattle to join in the fun. The conflict between him and Yao Ming was not a personal emotional conflict.

But as a two-time scoring champion and one of the top shooting guards, McGrady has this confidence in whether he can get the next maximum salary and a championship.

"Steve, that blacksmith went to talk to Yao Ming again?" Li Zheng gulped down Coca-Cola and said, Nash frowned. Every day, if you can't leave the hamburger and cola in your hand, you can still fly to the sky and escape from the ground, and you will sigh the outrageousness of God.

"...What an elegant name." Nash smiled helplessly. Although Li Zheng didn't like to talk trash, what he said could always easily break the defenses of professional players like them.

"He wants to seduce Yao Ming to the Lakers, it's obvious." Stoudemire stepped forward to snatch Li Zheng's hamburger, opened it and found that it was really fried chicken.

"Fake! I thought Li was numbing us all the time. We ate boiled chicken breast burgers, but I didn't expect that there was actually fried chicken in it. Am I going to get you? I'm going to eat it too." Stoudemire angrily stuffed the fried chicken He said vaguely in his mouth, and returned the two slices of bread to Li Zheng.

"Amarai, don't eat such unhealthy food. The kitchen is already frying steak." Li Zheng stretched his waist and said, and Stoudemire left satisfied.

"Amale is still like a child." Nash said with a smile, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Li Zheng seemed to be the youngest one in the house, but because of his mature and stable temperament, they always thought that Li Zheng was the youngest one in the house. They are contemporaries.

by the pool.

Kobe was wearing sunglasses, covering his mouth with a towel and bewitching Yao Ming in a low voice, like a human trafficker who abducts children.

"Yao, come to the Lakers, let's do it together."

"Give me some time, I really don't have the energy to think about these things now."

Many people underestimated Yao Ming's desire to win, but as the first champion in China, from a low-level league to a super center on the highest stage of basketball, Yao Ming's self-esteem and desire to survive are equally strong, and this quality is what Kobe appreciates the most Yao Ming's point.

"To be honest, Tracy is not suitable for you. He has never cooperated with top insiders. When we cooperate with Shaq, our contradictions are off the court. We can do everything on the court. Yao, come to Los Angeles and help me. You are no worse than Shaq. , You can do whatever you want on the inside, and I will sweep the outside, your organizational ability will not be wasted, don't hesitate, as long as you want to leave this alliance, no one can stop you, do you understand what I mean?"

The more Kobe said, the more excited he was, he even put down the towel and directly held Yao Ming's arm and said that what happened in the past two years made Kobe very eager for excellent teammates, and even made him miss the Sharks.

At least the Sharks won't drop those damn rebounds out of their hands, let alone say don't pass the ball to me. Basketball is not a one-person sport. In the regular season, he can save the team. In the face of the disparity in the strength of the team in the playoffs, his personal efforts seem so insignificant.

Kobe even had a showdown with Old Buss, wanting to be traded to a team that could compete for the championship, but Old Buss still insisted on keeping him and promised him that the team would change, such as this Qing from the East. day titans.

In 05, Kobe had lobbied for this big man, and Kobe did not hide his appreciation for Yao Ming. Compared with Shaq, Yao Ming did not have such explosive physical fitness, but his tall body, delicate skills, and solid basic skills were not enough. Will lie, Yao Ming's attitude towards basketball is more positive than O'Neal's, and this big man from the East is humble, humorous, and will not become a ticking time bomb in the locker room. He is a perfect second choice.

The only pity is that this big man signed a five-year contract, which will expire in three years, but Kobe knows what old Buss means, and this big man's thoughts determine many things. If he is willing, a shocking Local transactions can happen at any time.

The biggest reason why Kobe came to Seattle was because of Yao Ming. As long as he talked to Yao Ming's old Bass, this blockbuster deal could be brewed.
"I'm sorry, but I still can't agree. You know I have other responsibilities. We will discuss everything after the Olympics. Thank you, Kobe, for your appreciation of me." Dissatisfaction with himself and the team, as well as the boss's actions that made him angry, but the burden of the Olympics still made him afraid to accept Kobe's offer.

"Yao, I just ask the last sentence. This is not a threat or a warning. I always welcome you to my team. I just want to ask you, are you willing to play with me? If you are, then the rest will not matter. It's important." Kobe said solemnly, the old Buss's promise made him full of confidence, and the fight with O'Neal made him full of fighting spirit, and now he is as determined as iron, and only needs one person to go with him.

Yao Ming was silent for a long time, but still nodded. Kobe jumped out of the swimming pool. The splash couldn't express his inner excitement. He threw his sunglasses away, patted Yao Ming's shoulder, and walked into the villa without further ado.

Yao Ming shook his head. He seemed to be crazy. Abandoning his home team and teammates was simply disloyal and unfilial in the Chinese culture, but Kobe’s sincere question really stimulated him. McGrady never said such a thing, and he never took it seriously. As he grew up, he was always just his colleague, not a partner.

Yao Ming opened his huge palm, the feeling of putting a ring here should be wonderful. An emotion called ambition is dominating him, but this feeling is good.
