The arrival of Monday this time is not quite the right time, because the NBA really started after October, and now it is August, and there are no real events in the NBA.

Whether the 89 Summer League will be played again, Monday is not very clear.

However, Downing directly pulled Zhou Yi to the Compaq Center, the arena that the Rockets now use. For Compaq Center, Zhou Yi only watched and heard a little about Yao Ming's film, but he didn't understand it at all, as if it was acquired by some company after Team Rocket moved out. But Zhou Yi knew that at the beginning of the '03 season, the Rockets moved into the Toyota Center in their previous life.

With Tang Ning's leadership, there was no obstacle for Zhou Yi to enter the Compaq Center. Although the Compaq Center is not luxurious or spectacular at all, Zhou Yi still feels very excited to enter this arena. In his previous life, he has been a fan of the Rockets since two thousand and four years, although this fan is a bit hypocritical, but it does not affect Zhou Yi's attention to Yao Ming and his hopes for the Rockets.

And in this life, Zhou Yi directly became Yao Ming's boss, and the fate of life is sometimes really strange. A person who was an idol in Zhou Yi's eyes in his previous life, but now he has become a player in his own team, Zhou Yi sighed with emotion, and felt very lucky that God could give him such a rebirth.

Tang Ning took Zhou Yi through the corridor of Compaq Center, and the staff passing by greeted Tang Ning warmly, which shows that Tang Ning is still quite respected in this arena. Downing told Monday that there are no games right now, and that some of the team's rookies and scouts are in summer league, while real players like the team's Francis and Mutombo are on leisurely vacation.

However, as the team's general manager, Dawson has little time off, and he will not only have to look at the performance of some players in the summer league, but also conduct a series of player trades for next season. All kinds of work are on the desk, and Dawson's gray hair doesn't know how many gray they are.

Today, a temporary assistant to the general manager came from the Chinese headquarters company, the boss has just left, and this has sent another person to supervise him, is the boss so distrustful of himself, but why not fire himself, but keep letting himself carry out a series of player transactions.

Dawson had no ill feelings towards the assistant general manager sent by his boss, but he couldn't say that he was enthusiastic. After all, it was so uncomfortable to have someone around me who seemed to be supervising me. However, Dawson still felt very relieved that the previous assistant general manager almost never pointed fingers at his work, and he just looked at everything, did not express an opinion, and did not object.

However, Dawson was a little puzzled by the company's sudden dismissal of that assistant Don. Originally, Don's position was added separately, and Dawson had his own assistant, but now that Don has been fired, the company has sent another one, which makes Dawson very depressed.

Zhou Yi followed Downing to Dawson's office, and the information about Team Rocket flashed in his mind. The Houston Rockets joined the NBA in 1967, not in Houston, but in San Diego, and moved to Houston in 1971.

In the early stages of the Rockets' development, the results were generally dismal, and it was not until they selected Olajuwon in the 80s that the long-awaited championship dream of Houstonians was fulfilled in the 90s. Big Dream brought two championship trophies to the city, as he also became one of the city's iconic figures.

Unfortunately, at the end of the 90s, as Big Dream grew old and was out of shape, Houstonians were once again trapped in a bleak environment. It wasn't until 02 that Yao Ming of China was elected. Yao Ming was selected, although it did not bring the team a championship, but it made this team the most famous team in the NBA. Owner Alexander has managed to skyrocket his fortune to the rank of the richest owners in the NBA.

The arrival of Yao Ming gave hope to the Houstonians, especially the addition of Maddie, the scoring champion in 04 years, which made the Houstonians feel that they were one step closer to the championship. It's a pity that the frequent injuries of the Yao Mai combination have completely ruined the hope of the Houstonians. It wasn't until the following year, when the Rockets sent Maddy away and Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season again, that the team began to struggle beyond the brink of the playoffs again.

Although the work of Team Rocket is not the most important job of Xinhua Group, from Zhou Yi's personal emotional point of view, he hopes to help his idol in his previous life complete his dreams, and also complete the regrets in his heart in his previous life. That's why I had this trip to the NBA Rockets on Monday.

After knocking on the door, Dawson softly shouted to please come in, and Tang Ning walked into Dawson's office with Zhou Yi. Tang Ning's English is very good, much better than Zhou Yi's student. Although Zhou Yi had gone to college in his previous life, his oral level was really not very good, so in the face of Dawson, he still chose to have Downing to translate. If you insist on speaking English, and others don't understand what you're saying, you'll be in trouble.

After Tang Ning and Dawson greeted each other warmly, they introduced Zhou Yi to Dawson. Dawson couldn't see his rejection of Zhou Yi on the surface, and still shook hands with Zhou Yi with a smile on his face. After hearing that Zhou Yi would not stay for a long time this time, a week at most, Dawson's smile really relaxed.

Next, Zhou Yi briefly talked to Dawson about the current situation of the team, and Tang Ning was in charge of the translation. It seems that after this period of exercise, Tang Ning is very familiar with some professional terms of basketball, and he is also very fluent in the translation process.

Dawson's introduction let Zhou Yi know that although the current team players are not all players on his list, they are almost the same. The next thing for the team to do is to find a good helper for Yao Ming and continue to increase the team's strength and bench depth. And after Dawson's operation, the team now has a lot of top draft picks in the first and second rounds of 03 and 04, and Zhou Yi knows that 03 is a draft year, and the team can definitely choose powerful players to join.

Zhou Yi envisioned that the future Rockets' lineup will be centers Yao Ming, Mutombo, and Hayes. Although this position has Yao Ming's offense, it is still focused on defense. In the big forward position, although Monday would love to get Garnett from the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves will not trade Garnett at all now, so there is nothing Dawson can do, and they are now almost not competitive in the big forward, only a defensive strong man Kurt Thomas.

So, on the big front, Zhou Yi's target is the practical James Posey. The striker, who later contributed to the Celtics' championship win, is definitely an important piece of the puzzle for a team that wants to win a championship. So, the big forward lineup should be: James Posey, Kurt Thomas. But two people are not enough after all, and the team needs to continue to replenish.

At small forward, Mobley is actually a good candidate, but this position also needs to be strengthened. In fact, for this position, Zhou Yi's most wanted candidate is, of course, the later Rocket player Battier. Zhou Yi knew that if his team traded Battier now, it would definitely not pay as much as the Rockets in their previous life. After all, the Rockets in their previous life paid an All-Star level player. So on the small forward lineup, Monday's idea is: Battier, Mobley plus one other utility player. However, the playing time of Battier and Mobley in this position will not be coordinated.

In terms of shooting guards, Francis has a lot of ability, but this guy plays a bit alone. Zhou Yi didn't know what to do with Francis, or Boss Fu. But now is not the time to trade him, Zhou Yi needs him to take Yao Ming to work hard for a year or two. If Francis can change something in a year or two, Zhou Yi may keep him. However, if he still can't satisfy Zhou Yi, it is estimated that Zhou Yi will not be able to trade him.

In addition, in terms of the team's draft, the idea of '03 Zhou Yi is to make sure to select Devin Wade as one of the pillars of the team to develop. Although there is still James in 03, Zhou Yi knows that it is impossible to get him, and Wade is very promising. If the lineup of the shooting guard can be well coordinated, it will have a lot of strength. Started Francis, substituted Devon Wade, second substitute Brent Barry.

Of course, point guard is also incredibly important, and as a team commander, Zhou Yi's idea now is to leave it entirely to Billups. This very unpretentious player has proven his playmaking skills during this season with the Rockets. It's not top-notch yet, but it's very qualified. This is not Billups' level, because Zhou Yi knows that Billups will grow into a Finals MVP-level player, so he can rest assured as a playmaker for the Rockets or a starter playmaker for many years to come.

Then the thing to consider in terms of playmaking defenders is to find a replacement for Billups. Nash is very good, but it's a pity that the All-Star playmaker who is about to shine is unlikely to be willing to play as a substitute, so Zhou Yi still chooses a practical player. And the later Parker was the character that Zhou Yi decided to choose.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a long time and found that if he built the team according to his own wishes, the team seemed to be built into four dislikes. But Zhou Yi firmly believes in the strength of these players, even if they are not like four, Zhou Yi believes that they should be able to achieve success. If the team is built like this, it will be a test of Rudy's coaching ability.

If Rudy can train these players into a harmonious team, the championship won't be too far away, and the city of Houston will have another O'Brien Cup.

In the conversation that lasted for more than two hours, Zhou Yi completely told Dawson his wishes. Dawson listened with a solemn face, although Zhou Yi said that it was not too difficult for him to do, but it was a big problem to knead these people together.

Although Dawson has different views on this matter, Zhou Yi represents the meaning of the boss, and Dawson can only choose to obey when there is no too convincing reason. It's up to Dawson to do it, it's offseason, and by the start of next season, most of the situation should be as Zhou Yi thought. The only thing I can't do in a hurry is next year's draft, and I will choose a few players for Monday.

The three of them ended up talking in bits and pieces, and the conversation did not end until nearly nine o'clock in the evening. After the end, the three of them suddenly felt hungry, so they invited Zhou Yi to eat outside.
