Chapter 51 Yao Ming
There was one more person on the plane to Houston, and it was Luo Rui's doctoral student, Shen Yang's old acquaintance O'Brien.

Rory asked O'Brien to represent the Florida Sports Science Research Center and go to Sunnyvale with Shen Yang to discuss cooperation with Intuitive-Surgical.

O'Brien found Shen Yang in the morning, and when he heard that the first stop was Houston, he became even more excited, and kept saying nothing on the plane, "Shen, my home is in Florida, and this is the first time I have traveled far in so many years. , I can’t help but hurry up, that’s Texas! I heard that there are large farms there, and there are big ranchers everywhere, if only I could have a farm!”

"That must be an interesting place. It is said that the whole state of Texas is not facing the sea, it is all inland, can you imagine?"

Shen Yang rolled his eyes, "I can imagine that my home is not facing the sea either!"

O'Brien was surprised, "But according to the map, there is a large coast in the east of Huaxia."

"But there are more places without coasts."

"That's true." O'Brien said, "You are so lucky. I hate the sea the most, because I can't swim. Since I was a child, all my friends can swim, but I am the only one who can't. I can't learn how to learn. , They always laugh at me, I dreamed of working in a place not facing the sea when I was a child, then no one will know that I can’t swim.”

O'Brien kept talking non-stop, it was very difficult for Shen Yang to close his eyes and rest for a while, he suddenly found that being with O'Brien was not always very interesting.

Fortunately, the journey to Houston was only three hours away. When the plane landed, Shen Yang let out a long breath, and then heard O'Brien shout excitedly, "It's landed! It's landed! We're here, Shen, look outside !"

"..."

After getting off the plane, Shen Yang finally felt much calmer.

Wilkinson and O'Brien chatted very well. O'Brien's main professional direction is sports nutrition, and Wilkinson's job is to be responsible for the nutrition of athletes. The two talked about professional topics all the way.

After resting in the hotel for a while, Wilkinson invited the three to visit the Houston Rockets' training facility.

Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the Houston Rockets' training venues. The stars of the team will train here. Wilkinson is a staff member here. He led the three of them in front of the door but was stopped by security.

Wilkinson explained and introduced Shen Yang in detail. Hearing that he was a sports expert from the University of Florida, the security guard let him go.

Several people went to Wilkinson's office together, and then came to the training venue together.

"The training should be over. Generally, there will be no one in the stadium. You can play basketball."

As Wilkinson was talking, he approached and heard a 'bang bang'. He walked in and found another player was training, "It's Yao! He often trains late."

"Yao?"

"Yao Ming! The No. [-] pick in the NBA draft last year, by the way, he is Chinese. Shen, you are also Chinese. Do you know him?"

"of course I know."

Shen Yang walked over first, saw the big man in the stadium, and sighed in his heart, "It's really tall!"

"Hey, Yao, don't you mind if we come here to have fun?" Wilkinson yelled at Yao.

Yao Ming was practicing shooting. He turned his head when he heard the shout, and said with a smile, "Of course, it doesn't matter. The training time is over and everyone else has left. I will continue to practice for a while."

"Thank you."

Wilkinson threw a few balls, Telman and O'Brien started a fight, and the two were still playing well, while Shen Yang approached Yao Ming's practice field and sat aside to watch.

After Yao Ming threw a few balls, he glanced this way, as if asking, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'm just a spectator."

Shen Yang said in Chinese.

Yao Ming immediately became interested. After entering the Houston Rockets, most of the Chinese he saw were either overseas Chinese in the United States or reporters who came here. The reporters were all for interviews. Some overseas Chinese fans did not speak very standard Chinese.

Shen Yang doesn't look like a reporter, nor an overseas Chinese.

After Yao Ming threw the ball a few more times, he simply walked over and wiped his sweat with a towel, "Are you here with Paul?"

Shen Yang stood up and said with a smile, "We came from Gainesville together. There was a sports science exchange meeting there. Paul said he would take us to visit. I don't like basketball very much, so I just came to watch your training. Excuse me? By the way, my name is Shen Yang."

"Of course, it's okay. Hello, where are you studying abroad? University of Florida, very good."

"I just went to the exchange meeting."

Yao Ming was a little surprised, "You should be less than 20 years old, come out to work at such a young age?"

Shen Yang was a little embarrassed, it was the first time he was called young, "I am 21 years old and have already graduated from university, but thank you for praising me for being young."

"Sorry." Yao Ming also said a little embarrassed, "It's quite remarkable to be able to graduate from university at the age of 21."

At this time Wilkinson came over and said to Yao Ming, "Yao, let me introduce you. This is Shen, and you are both from China. Don't underestimate Shen. Although he is young, he is already very outstanding. Sports science expert, at the academic exchange meeting in Gainesville this time, he made a big splash. He refuted the famous sports science expert of Ohio State University, Professor Hilton, without face, and could only be disheartened. Step down."

"I am most optimistic about his 'coordinated movement recovery theory', which is simply a theory created by God!"

Yao Ming was very surprised.

He originally thought that Shen Yang was only going to participate in the exchange meeting for work, but he didn't expect that the other party was in the field of sports science research and could have such outstanding achievements.

Wilkinson seemed to appreciate Yao Ming's surprised expression, and he said proudly, "I invited Shen to come, and I hope he can give me some advice on work."

Yao Ming said generously, "I didn't underestimate Shen Yang, but he is too young to be expected."

"Thank you."

Shen Yang thanked him, and then asked doubtfully, "Yao Ming, do you have a slight abdominal injury?"

Yao Ming glanced down, then asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Yao, are you injured?" Wilkinson asked concerned.

Yao Ming lifted his shirt, revealing a small bruise on his abdomen. He said indifferently, "This is a small injury. I was accidentally bumped during the competition two days ago, and it is about to heal."

Wilkinson walked over, took a closer look, and said, "This is a big problem. You won't be able to participate in the game the day after tomorrow."

Yao Ming sighed, "Walsh said the same thing, but the game the day after tomorrow is very important, I still told Jeff that I want to participate in the game." Walsh is the team's team doctor, and Jeff Van Gundy is the head coach of the Houston Rockets .

"It's okay, a little injury." Shen Yang interrupted, "One day is enough."

"How is it possible? Let me watch it for at least three days." After Wilkinson finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said to Yao Ming, "By the way, Shen is an expert in this field. Don't trust Walsh. Professionally, he It's much worse. Yao, you should ask, he is an expert in sports recovery, and he can definitely help you recover faster."

Yao Ming looked at Shen Yang suspiciously.

Shen Yang said with a smile, "I do have a way to recover you tomorrow, but I need to personally guide your training. Outsiders should not be allowed into the stadium during the day, right?"

"really?"

Yao Ming was a little excited, and he still had a little mistrust in his heart, but Wilkinson said so, it should not be fake, and it would be no good for the other party to deceive himself, "Those are small things, I will explain the situation to Jeff."

"but……"

"what?"

Shen Yang said seriously, "However, there is a fee for my guidance. I have nothing to do these days, but there are no exceptions for work..." He pointed a finger, "Only one day, a thousand dollars fee, no The effect refunds the full cost."

"TOLL?"

"A thousand dollars?"

Wilkinson shouted, for the first time he felt that Shen Yang looked a bit like a black-hearted businessman.

Yao Ming was very surprised to hear that, but to him, a thousand dollars was just a fraction of a day's salary, and he didn't care at all.Seeing that Shen Yang didn't look like he was joking, Yao Ming agreed, "Then it's settled."

"You'll find it's worth the money." Shen Yang said with a smile.
