Reboot McGrady

204 Chapter 205

McGrady squinted, "What? Peak?"

He has heard of this company, Hongxing Erke, he has also heard of it, they are all Chinese sneaker companies.

Peak was one of the first Chinese companies to enter the NBA. Battier was the first to sign, if McGrady remembers correctly.But now everything has changed, Yao Ming appeared in the Hawks, Battier will naturally not be in the Hawks.

For the Huaxia people, Yao’s name doesn’t count. Among the Eagles’ starting players, the most commercially valuable player is McGrady.

The price is too high, tens of millions of dollars in endorsement fees.It is difficult to achieve a discount on the company's shares.

Others, Billups signed with Adidas and is also one of the stars, Rasheed Wallace has a mediocre reputation, and Daben is Yao Ming's competitor.Only Stephen Jackson is a little viable.

Although the scoring average is not high, but the defense is fierce, and the relationship with Yao Ming is also good.

"You can discuss it with Jackson, and it would be nice to make a little money."

Jackson's contract is only 300 million US dollars. If he can get more than 100 million US dollars of sneaker contracts every year, Jackson will be much richer and can enjoy the treatment of being a star.

"Stephen is very happy, but I think we should ask for your opinion."

"My opinion is that my brother is good, and I agree with it." McGrady looked righteous, "Remember to design the sneakers to fit your feet, after all, it is a high-intensity game."

Sneaker companies are also making progress. Signing NBA players is a good exploration and progress.

"Hey, Yao, thank you for sending me the sneaker contract." Jackson invited Yao Ming to dinner.

It's in the restaurant that Yao Ming just opened, called "Yao Restaurant".

After Yao Ming arrived in Atlanta, his parents followed him to take care of Yao Ming's daily life, but they were bored, so they came up with the idea of ​​opening a Chinese restaurant.

After thinking about it, I decided to open a basketball-themed restaurant, mainly serving Chinese food.

Yao restaurant came into being.Today is the first day of business.Yao Ming and Ye Li stood in front of the gate as welcome guests, and Yao Ming was so happy that he showed his "囧" face.

"Welcome, welcome! Welcome, guys."

Seeing Jackson, Yao Ming took the initiative to step forward, "Oh, Stephen, this is your strength, I just did a little favor. Hurry up, I will treat you today. No AA system."

Stephen Jackson was very happy, he did not expect Yao Ming to be so easy to get along with.Tyronn Lu also came early and chatted with Yao Ming's parents for a while. Although he didn't know what the other party said, he still smiled sweetly.

Yao Ming's American agent, Arne Treme, appeared with McGrady.Basically, it's in the back, many players have already arrived, today's soft opening, mainly invite the club's players and staff.

Chambers made a phone call, congratulated Yao Ming, and then sent several flower baskets to create an atmosphere.Arranged a few more friends to enjoy the food in the restaurant.Then, ask the secretary to arrange the staff there.

People are very lively and noisy.The chef from Jiangxi who was invited was very tired. He was busy from 3:10 pm to [-]:[-] pm before he had a rest.

Yao Ming walked to the backstage, "Several masters, you have worked hard today, give a red envelope. Give a red envelope!"

Quickly took out the big red envelopes, each of them wrapped one, and only then did the guys in the back kitchen come to their senses, it was really hard work.

Mai Di ate the long-lost Chinese food, suppressed his emotions, and took a sip of beer, "Dayao, I haven't eaten Chinese food for a long time, I miss it a little."

"Hey, hey." Dayao couldn't understand.

It’s fine if you don’t understand, Maddy’s head immediately cleared up, and he calmed down his taste buds, “Well, today’s Kung Pao Chicken is so-so.”

There is also Zuo Zongtang's chicken, which has also become a signature dish. I don't know if these dishes are the special skills of the Jiangxi chef.

After the opening of Yao Restaurant, Yao Ming has gained a firm foothold in Atlanta.In these few games, he has been recognized by the fans. Although it will take time to get in touch with the team, the upward momentum is obvious.

"Xiao Ming, I see this Tracy, McGrady, right? He's a nice person, and he looks very kind." Yao's mother said softly, "In the team, listen to others. He is the core of the Eagles. Still taking care of us like this, we have to be sensible."

"Mom, you didn't worry about it when you first came here, why do you worry about it now?"

"Isn't it because I haven't seen McGrady before? Now that I see it, I'm happy to see it." Yao's mother smiled, "There is one more thing, you and Ye Li's marriage will also be arranged."

"I'll make arrangements when the national team's games are less. At that time, I will also invite all my teammates. I will hold a large-scale wedding, domestic or American."

Ye Li heard it outside, and felt sweet in her heart.

After being busy for a long time, Yao Ming was also very tired, feeling harder than playing, stretched his waist, "I'm going to play a game of Warcraft."

"Hey, you child, won't you accompany Ye Li?" Yao's mother was unhappy.

In contrast, McGrady does not have Yao Ming's house, nor his infatuation.

The days without competitions, his small days, are quite fulfilling.Occasionally chat with Amelia, and then make an appointment with a starlet to enjoy a silky and delicate little event.

"Huh? The seasoning is running out again?" Maddie called Anderson and asked him to buy some more Pampers.

"Tracey, it's really the right time for your phone. There just happens to be a new product. Besides, there will be no peculiar smell, and it will even have a special fragrance when added to the coffee. How about it? Buy another batch?"

"You arrange it." Maddy feigned death, serious, "I don't like this either, but everyone is busy with their careers, and they are afraid that having children will affect their development. I respect their choices."

Time is fast, a few games have passed, the Eagles have achieved a 6-game winning streak, and the next game is about to challenge the Kings in Sacramento.

The team that nearly knocked down the Lakers last season, Adelman left Mike Bibby this summer and added Battelle.

As soon as the Eagles fell in the away game, they heard Chris Webber's welcome speech, "No matter how powerful the Eagles are, they are just the king's pets. Even if they were the championship champions last season, we can beat the Eagles."

"McGrady is very strong, but in our opinion, he is at most similar to Kobe in strength. He is lucky. Last season we beat the Lakers so hard that they benefited from it."

"King" Chris Webber was not convinced, thinking that in the Western Conference finals last season, they were on the verge of failure, and they also exhausted the Lakers' physical energy, and the Eagles made a lot of money.

Since the start of the game, the Kings have also maintained a complete victory, ranking first in the Western Conference.Stronger than the Lakers with F4.

McGrady frowned, does Peja have the ability to defend?Hedo Turkoglu next to him held his strength and clenched his fists. He used to be a member of the Kings.

"Guys, everyone's chance is here." Although Ben Wallace is missing, the Eagles are still a top team and the defending champion.
