The 2007-2008 NBA preseason will start on October 7, and there is still about a month of rest, but the obedient Da Yao is still following the national team to the corner, as well as various business activities, and national team games.

The management of the Rockets team, who has to participate in the useless national team warm-up games like Da Yao, has a very opinion, and I heard that the people of Yao's team have contacted the Rockets, and Da Yao can't even return to the United States to report at the specified time, which makes the management of the Rockets crazy.

Andy frowned and looked at the letter handed to him by the gloomy Morey, and smashed his mouth, to be honest, Da Yao's injury in February 08 was basically caused by fatigue, and after treatment, he insisted on participating in the Olympics, and any broken competition would recall Da Yao to participate, and his sports career was shortened in this way.

Knock Knock –

"Please come in. ”

Andy looked up and saw the coach Nelson Sr. who pushed the door in, stretched out a slightly frowning brow, stood up and shook hands with the other party with a smile across the table, and said, "Coach, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you. Boss, do you have anything to do with me?" asked Old Nelson as he sat down.

"Well, coach, take a look at it first. As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Old Nelson, staring at the change in Old Nelson's expression, and sure enough, he quickly frowned, and Andy said straight to the point.

"Their national conditions are like this, Da Yao is a player with a strong sense of responsibility, there is no way to stop him, the key is that he is too valuable to the Rockets, whether it is on the court or off the court, he can bring at least $780 million a year to the Rockets, the market behind him is too big, too tempting, we can't use him, as long as he plays in the Rockets for one more year, he can bring benefits to the Rockets for one year. ”

Old Nelson looked up at the young boss in a little surprise, he was still very surprised that the boss was so straightforward, and after a long groan, he nodded and said: "I understand, boss, I have seen some of Da Yao's previous training records, and then I will not ask him to blindly increase the weight, the weight gain will increase the bone pressure on his legs and feet, and once he is tired, he will basically be injured."

Da Yao was very strong in mid-range shooting in the early days of the NBA, and with Da Yao's height of more than 10 centimeters higher than Nowitzki, if such a 226 big man shoots in the middle distance, plus some postures to protect himself, then for the defensive side, it is basically insoluble, and it is more difficult to deal with than Nowitzki.

In a little more strength, rather than blindly emphasizing strength gain, then such a big Yao. In the face of a center that is weaker than the strength, squeeze it directly, if you encounter a power-type, you can shoot directly from the middle distance, and as far as the current situation of the league is concerned, the big shark is already old and has become a fat shark, and there is only one magic Howard left in the power-shaped traditional center, but the kid has always been at a disadvantage when facing Da Yao. ”

Morey said thoughtfully on the side: "Then we need to find someone to increase the defense of the inside line." ”

Old Nelson looked at the big boss and said with a hint of a smile: "Boss, Da Yao needs a strong substitute to get plenty of rest... ”

"Tell me, who do you want?" said Andy, shaking his head and laughing.

"Ben Wallace of the Bulls! Although Big Ben suffered from knee injuries during his two seasons with the Bulls and didn't show his defensive level with the Pistons, it was enough to give Big Yao a bench, and I don't think it would be difficult for him to come to Houston. ”

Old Nelson smiled happily, in addition to wanting the substitute of Big Ben, he also wanted to make a small lineup to play run and bomb, a set of classical center positional battles, a set of fast as the wind, cough cough, anyway, his own boss is not bad for money.

"Boss, what you thought about before makes sense, Ralph Alston's streetball style has been deeply rooted in the cells, the ball is too fancy, the ground pass makes a center of Da Yao's height bend over to receive the ball, dribble, very easy to steal, and very uncomfortable, we need a good point guard, an All-Star level veteran. ”

"You just said it, who did you fall in love with?"

"Chauncey Billups of the Pistons, as an MVP but always underestimated, with an annual salary of only five million dollars in the Pistons, a championship plus the temptation of an annual salary, I think he is an ambitious and smart person, and he will not refuse the olive branch we handed him!"

Andy looked at Morey, who was smiling wryly, and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I'll ask Bob to put them in the plan. Morey thought of the young boss in front of him, but not the original Alexander who slammed the door, well, the old Nelson is indeed very good, able to suppress these star players, it seems that Bob is going to cry, maybe he will send out most of the team, cough cough, fortunately, he doesn't care about the player's operation.

"By the way, boss, I'll meddle in the locker room, the Rockets have a big problem in the locker room, and there is no good locker room atmosphere, which has a huge impact on the morale of the team. ”

Nelson Sr.'s expression changed from smiling to gloomy, he was very dissatisfied with what he knew, the team's boss Maddie didn't have the strength that a boss should have, it was bad, and once Big Ben and Billups, the two bad boys of the Pistons, the villains came to the team, Maddie couldn't sit in the position of the boss at all, he had to personally suppress the locker room.

"You are the coach, the team is handed over to you, you have the final say, except for Da Yao, you can kick anyone, that's right, anyone!" Andy said with a very serious expression.

"Whew-"

Old Nelson couldn't help but clench his fists, suppressing a little excitement in his heart, his eyes became solemn, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would support him so new and give him so much power, he knew the weight of what he said just now, this was to establish his authority in Team Rocket.

"Thank you!"

Hearing the incomparably sincere thanks of old Nelson, Andy smiled slightly, looked at Morey, who also had a shocked expression on his face, and said in his heart: "In the future, the matter of running the team will be handed over to you, just do a good job of daily briefings, no need to ask for instructions on everything, I believe in your ability, so you are still the general manager, OK?"

"Got the boss, thank you for the trust. Morey felt a lot in his heart, the young big boss is really domineering enough, and the media said that his boss is the kind of boss who is willing to give power and trust to his subordinates, and it is true.

"As for what Da Yao can't report on time, according to the team's practice, it should be banned and banned, and it should be fined, by the way, in the preseason game in October, can we contact the league and go to the rabbit country to play?" Andy thought of the NBA's method of collecting money in his previous life, and couldn't help asking.

"It should be no problem, we have already held the NBA Rabbit Country Game in 04, when the league and the team did not make money, and no team wants to go in the next few years, in fact, the Rabbit Country League will also be happy to see it, we have a game with the Hornets in the preseason, but it can be operated. However, I'm afraid the league will let other teams ... When Morey heard the boss's proposal, his eyes couldn't help but shine, but when he thought of the alliance's urine, it was very likely that he would rob Hu.

"Well, in the preseason, where to fight is not to fight! Besides, we all know that if we don't make money, is there anyone who robs it? And we have Da Yao, we have the foundation of the Rabbit Country, and what we want is to influence and expand the brand value of the Rocket Team in the Celestial Empire. ”

Andy frowned, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, to be honest, the officials of the rabbit country are not easy to get along with, a preseason game only gives the NBA league a few million rabbit coins at the box office, it is strange that a team is willing to go, if it weren't for the big Yao in the rocket, he would not let the team fly half the world to the rabbit country.

"Okay, two, I'm leaving Houston tomorrow, and I'll leave the team to you, don't let me down!" Andy stood up with a faint smile on his face and shook hands with General Manager Morey and Coach Nelson Sr.

The two left the boss's office, and on the way, Morey smiled bitterly and said to coach Nelson Sr.: "Coach, you are going to rebuild the team, Big Ben still has some hope, Changlu, do you think the Pistons will release people? ”

The villains who came out of the palace group in Auburn Hills can eat the good babies like Maddie and Da Yao.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's okay with me, Daben has been stumbling for two years, Changlu is a smart person, he won't mess around, the temptation of the championship and the annual salary that meets the real value of his ability will make him make the right choice, I believe Bob will have a way. ”

Old Nelson walked forward with his tall body easily, in his coaching career, he really didn't feel so comfortable, the only Knicks who coached without money, but he didn't have the slightest power, the team with power Quan Nima slammed the door, this time the decision to coach the Rockets, it seems to be extremely correct, and the ideal of the championship is close at hand.
