Reboot McGrady

Chapter 167 Meeting
Arne-Trum is very busy, and the two things in his hands recently are forcing him to move.In McGrady's contract renewal negotiations with Adidas, not only Nike and Reebok, but also Converse stepped in, sending out big contracts and enviable independent brands.

The second thing is Yao Ming's trial training.In fact, there is no need for trial training, Yao Ming is the eagle's default candidate for the top pick.So Arn brought him to Atlanta to satisfy Yao Ming's little wish of watching the game live.

In his previous life, because of the contract issues between the Basketball Association and Shenghai Dongfang, Yao Ming was unable to determine whether to enter the NBA before the draft. He threatened to retire to get the chance to enter the NBA.

Now, with the help of McGrady, Arne Treme, including Chambers and others, there have been brand-new changes. The China Basketball Association released him in advance, and Shenghai Dongfang also wished Yao Ming all the best.

Yao Ming can take part in all kinds of trial training calmly, and still has time to strengthen his body in advance.

"Thank you, En!" Yao Ming shook hands with the economic manager of the United States, and beside him, there were Zhang Mingji and others. The main purpose of coming here this time was to find a house to live in first, and then prepare for trial training and participate in intensive training in Atlanta.

When it comes to the draft, Yao Ming will still appear in the small green room. Those who enter the small green room can invite family members and managers to appear at the draft.

"I want to invite Ye Li to come with me." Yao Ming quietly said to Zhang Mingji, "Of course, before that, I hope to meet Mai Di."

In the next three finals, the Eagles will face the Lakers at Phillips Stadium.When it comes to the ownership of the season championship, no one will neglect.The Eagles players have long taken the initiative to give up rest and practice more.

For the Eagles fans, this season is a happy season, and they can still buy tickets to watch the game in June, "You said, will we win the championship?"

"It's too difficult. The power of the OK combination is too great. We only have Tracy. He is a super genius, but facing Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe, it's hard enough."

"Whether you win or lose, I support McGrady. He has paid enough for the Eagles. Do you remember how many times he played with injuries last season?" Many fans spontaneously prayed for McGrady.

"The gambling company has adjusted the odds. Everyone is optimistic about the Lakers. I must support the Eagles. I am an Eagles fan." The young tattooed fan roared, "I bet 100 yuan!"

An old fan took away the ticket, "Well, if I have a grandson, I will definitely give it to Tracy to let him not have too much pressure. But I only have a granddaughter, and he won't like it."

Chambers just entered the office, looking at the financial statements during the finals, feeling comfortable.His plan for this year has been fully realized. Whether the team has a championship or not is beyond his control, but in the next three home games, he will earn a lot of money.

Ticket revenue and broadcast revenue accounted for the bulk.There is also marketing of peripheral products, which can supplement a large part of the expenses.Most importantly, the Eagles brand is constantly adding value.

When he bought the Eagles last year, he spent 3.5 million US dollars. If he sells this year, he can earn at least 1 million US dollars.But who would sell a team that made it to the Finals?
McGrady has been training hard these days and is also controlling the pace of life.If Ah En hadn't brought Yao Ming over, McGrady wouldn't have been idle.

"Welcome, Yao!" McGrady took the initiative to hug Yao Ming.

This tall center, the pride of the Huaxia people, is still quite thin now, but his skills are just as good.

Immediately afterwards, McGrady also shook hands with Zhang Mingji who was walking.

Yao Ming took a deep breath, and after greeting McGrady, "Tracey, do you speak Mandarin?"

"A little bit..." McGrady laughed, led several people to the living room, and poured wine and tea, "Yao, the Eagles have the No. [-] pick, and we will choose you. If you are on the team this year, we will easily beat the Lakers .”

"Of course, Big Ben is also very good. We all like him. It's just that there is no player in the league who can limit O'Neal. You and Big Ben can beat O'Neal together."

Mai Di used raw rice to chat with Yao Ming.After a few words, Yao Ming felt McGrady's ambition, and he definitely wanted the championship.

He was suddenly full of enthusiasm, "I am looking forward to the NBA game, but I need an adaptation period."

"You will get used to it. You have top talent, I believe." McGrady smiled without any worries, "Our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Although Yao Ming's talent is not top-notch, his attitude and static talent are enough for him to gain a foothold in the NBA. As long as he does not gain too much weight, Yao Ming remains healthy, with good speed and soft shooting, he is the top of the league. center.

McGrady believes that with Yao Ming and a good role player, they can win the championship.

There is also a chance this year, but Billups has not yet fully proved himself. He should have the ability to score independently and dominate the team, so that McGrady can focus on fighting opponents.

"I believe that under your leadership, the Eagles have always been the top team in the league." Yao Ming is also very good at talking, and chatted with McGrady very happily.

"Chambers arranged Tim Glover as your personal trainer, so you don't have to worry about physical strength." McGrady looked at the young Yao Ming with blurred eyes, feeling a lot in his heart, "In addition, the team has already helped you After looking at the house first, the price is about 100 million US dollars, so for you, it’s not a big problem to buy it.”

"The team is very thoughtful, thank you!" Yao Ming showed an "embarrassed" face. He didn't know why he was so favored by McGrady and the team. He hadn't participated in the draft yet. McGrady told him directly that you are the No. [-] pick.

"By the way, don't let anyone know about today's meeting. I believe Mr. Mingji will keep it a secret. Especially about the number one pick, don't talk about it."

"We all understand!" Zhang Mingji and Yao Ming nodded at the same time. This is a matter related to their careers, and they must be overly cautious.

They also brought souvenirs today. I didn't expect Chairman Yao to have a secular time, and it was Moutai.

There is also the matter of communicating with the chairman of the players union Michael Curry. Arne also remained silent.

"If everything goes well, follow me when you get to the team." McGrady sent the two to the door, "I will not send you out by yourself. There are reporters everywhere at the door, don't open the windows."

Being a top player is an annoyance. There are many lurking sports reporters around the house, and McGrady's slightest move may become news.In particular, McGrady, who is known as the "prodigal son in love", is ambiguous with many Hollywood actresses and socialites, which makes people even more curious.

Arne followed McGrady into the door, took the initiative to close the door, and poured himself half a glass of red wine, "Adidas is very anxious and hopes to renew the contract. How should we deal with it?"

"Why do you care about them? You can just talk to Nike and Converse. If you can't, have a coffee with the manager of Reebok." McGrady is not in a hurry. He definitely wants the shares of Adidas. The question is how much. There is a brand production line forged for him personally, and the investment is even greater. "What if there is a better result in this year's battle with the Lakers?"

"Won the championship, how much hope do you have?"

"If we can get two home games, there is a 60% hope." No one is sure of victory. This is actually a close battle.

McGrady can force the strongest OK combination if he plays alone. What if other people also play?
