Yao Ming's invitation has been continuing, not only in December, but also in January, and he also made several transatlantic phone calls to Yang Lei a few years ago.

Yang Lei delayed until the third day of the first lunar month before flying to Houston with Chen Bingni.

There is no Spring Festival holiday in the United States, the NBA regular season is going on as usual, and Yao Ming is still fighting on the front line.

On the plane, Yang Lei deliberately asked the flight attendant to come to the sports newspaper.

These irresponsible people didn't even prepare a sports newspaper in Chinese, and brought a bunch of English editions, which was difficult to read.

I don't know if we Chinese people are rich and the market is huge?

American Airlines has no business opportunities at all!

Chen Bingni leaned over and watched, and asked in a low voice, "You came to watch the NBA game, do you want popcorn to enter the overseas market?"

"Of course, what do you think I'm going to all the trouble for?"

"But you didn't even dominate the CBA. ”

"The CBA is boring, in addition, Antar and Li Ning are too liking, the sponsorship contract is signed for three or five years, and it will be difficult for me to shake their sponsorship status for a while. ”

This year's Rockets have performed very well, ranking in the top three in the West, and the Spurs and Lakers take turns to sit in the top position.

Chen Bingni was curious: "Do you think the Rocket team can still win the championship this year?"

Yang Lei looked at the list of players and said: "Last year, the Rockets failed to defend their title, and if they lost, they lost in Yao Ming and had no good helpers, but this year a superstar joined, Sino-US cooperation, and the inside and outside lines blossomed, and this year's Rockets team has a championship like." ”

The middle is Yao's name, and the beauty is Cameron?? Anthony.

Melon is also an All-Star player, a superstar who averages 30 points per game, but his fate is miserable, obviously he has super personal strength, but he can't get out in the strong West, and he is getting farther and farther away from the championship ring.

In the summer of 2010, Platinum's 2003 No. 1 pick left the Cavaliers after seven years to form the Miami Big Three, ready to challenge for a championship.

Anthony, who was in the same class as James, also left the Nuggets team, who had been in the Nuggets for seven years, joined the Rockets, and was ready to join hands with Yao Ming to hit the NBA championship again.

It is equivalent to the eastern powerhouse concentrated in the Heat, and the western powerhouse concentrated in the rocket, and Mars may hit the earth this year.

"Several of the stars in this class are very good, they have played for seven or eight years, and they have all become superstars. ”

Yang Lei talks about James and Anthony, the collision of geniuses and geniuses, and there are many interesting stories.

Chen noticed that the name Lin had also been mentioned several times.

She asked, "Is it an abbreviation for Lindsey?"

"It's Lin, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American, born and raised in the United States. ”

Speaking of Jeremy Lin, Yang Lei has a complicated mood.

Under Yao Ming's mediation, a few months ago, the Rockets took over Jeremy Lin's contract from the Golden State Warriors, and part of the guaranteed contract with a base salary of 440,000 was purely to give Yao Ming and Yang Lei a face.

It feels like calling Hanako.

Chen Bingni is still sighing: "Wow, there are two Chinese faces in the Rockets, no wonder the domestic basketball world regards the Rockets as their home team, 1.4 billion fans, the Rockets are so happy." ”

Yang Lei smiled and blinked: "I'm mainly here for him this time." ”

Chen Bingni is full of expectations: "I really want to see the wonderful cooperation of the two Chinese people at the scene." ”

The day after the two arrived in Houston, they happened to meet the Rockets returning triumphantly.

The next game is the Rockets' home game, which is against the Nets.

The day before the game, Yao Ming was the east, and invited head coach Adelman, general manager Morey, and teammate Anthony to have dinner with Yang Lei, and the location was set at Yao's restaurant.

Chen Bingni followed Yao's mother and regarded Yao's restaurant as her own home, not at the scene of their man's conversation.

Only the two management of the Rockets, two top stars, and four people accompanied Yang Lei.

Everyone on the Rocket team is very familiar with Yao's restaurant, three foreigners, two Chinese, the food plates are all huge player styles, Yao Ming and Anthony are piled up like a hill in front of them, and the three foreigners can even speak two words of Chinese with the waiter who delivers the meal.

Now, the whole world is speaking Chinese, and the words of Confucius are becoming more and more international.

Even SOD Group has launched a luxury lineup, and the 7 superstars led by Mr. Bo have performed art films with full Chinese pronunciation, which is enough to highlight the importance of the Chinese-speaking circle.

What is the number, Yang Lei forgot, it seems to be SOD-404?

Yang Lei asked: "Since you are inviting me, a Chinese person, to dinner, why didn't you ask Jeremy Lin to come over?"

"Morey and Adelman don't think it's convenient. ”

Yao Ming explained: "They all want to talk to you about Jeremy Lin, and Morey gave him a base salary of 440,000 to sign him, hoping that you will give a reason that can convince him." Adelman also has a hard time putting Jeremy Lin on the court, and you know what, we have six point guards on the Rockets, and he's the seventh. ”

Yang Lei smiled and said in Chinese: "I said before, I like Jeremy Lin's Asian face." ”

Yao Mingxiao: "Okay brother, I have told him this reason a long time ago, but he doesn't approve of it, he wants to hear more content." ”

Yang Lei touched his chin, looked at the other three smiling people, and said in English: "OK, I won't go around in circles, I'm here for business cooperation this time." ”

Needless to say, Yao Ming signed a contract with Reebok in 2003, and it was seven years to sign it, and when the contract expired last year, it happened to encounter the big war between Adidas and X-Sports in China, Yao Ming, as Yang Lei's good brother, of course, could not continue to sign Reebok.

Well, back in 2005, Reebok was acquired by Adidas.

Now Yao Ming is a sneaker free man, usually wearing X-Sports special shoes to play, but has not signed a contract with Yang Lei, this time, Yang Lei is ready to talk about a big deal with Yao Ming, Zhang Mingji will not come until the fifth day of the first month, and the three of them will meet in Houston at that time.

Anthony is a Nike-affiliated signing, or the Jordan brand, Nike gave him $3.5 million a year in the 2003 draft, and now, he also has tens of millions of dollars a year, with huge commercial value.

PK Adidas, digging Nike corners, Yang Lei is very willing to do this kind of thing.

But he just has no money, so he can only think of external recruitment.

Let's talk about Jeremy Lin.

As a first-year rookie who has just entered the NBA, he was still directly off the list in the 2010 draft, and no sponsors have taken a fancy to him at all.

A rare, yellow-skinned point guard, who has never had such a player in NBA history, he was the first, no one trusted him, and everyone's thinking was fixed like this.

Including the head coach of the Rockets, as well as the manager, all of them are not optimistic about Jeremy Lin.

Because Yang Lei spoke English, Morey asked him, "Do you think Lin's commercial value in that area is relatively high?"

Yang Lei said: "In all aspects, maybe his current strength is not recognized by the NBA, but in Huaxia, I can package him as a very popular person." ”

Morey asked, "How many other Chinese players are playing in the NBA?"

Adelman snorted, didn't hold back, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, saying sorry.

Yang Lei and Yao Ming glanced at each other, they were very helpless.

The strength of Huaxia players is indeed not very good, but the business opportunities on their bodies are really good, whether they play or not, whether the results are sparse or not, they can be packaged anyway, and they can be used to hype and make money in Huaxia.

"That's how you should wrap it. ”

Yang Lei has a headache: "I hope Jeremy Lin tries to get as much playing time as possible, the more famous the Rockets are, the more benefits you get." ”

Morey shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't bet on the team's results, unless he gives me an amazing performance, I can only use him as a mascot to please the Chinese fans, give the league a base salary, and promote genuine jerseys." ”

Adelman also shook his head: "Lin's performance is very average, Yang, the Rockets' dual core is Yao and Anthony, and Lin doesn't seem to work well with them." ”

Yao Ming and Anthony are both shrugging their shoulders, and it is really difficult for Jeremy Lin to have too bright performances in front of two superstars with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Yang Lei asked, "Do you have any of his data?"

Adelman nodded, and he carried a small notebook with Jeremy Lin's records, and Yao Ming was next to help explain.

It's rubbish.

is also because the Rockets' starting lineup is so luxurious, Jeremy Lin has no chance to play.

Yang Lei was thinking while watching.

The history of chaos is really unpredictable.

Since he contacted Yao Ming in 2008 to offer GEL gel shoes, the NBA has changed arguably the most.

He managed to avoid injury and win the championship for Yao Ming, who was in peak form, causing almost all of the NBA's history to change since 2009.

In fact, it is also very easy to understand, the NBA circle is too small, and the whole country of China is too big, Yang Lei only makes sneakers and sports ribs, and the impact on the domestic real economy is almost negligible.

Jeremy Lin is a player who was very influenced by Yang Lei, in his last life, he would bump and leave among multiple teams, be cut several times, and have to mix in NBDL games, beating and polishing many times before he succeeded.

And in this life, the Rockets signed Jeremy Lin because of Yang Lei's face, but he didn't give him a chance to play at all, how could he make Lin crazy?

Or is it that if you don't go through hardships and get cornered, Jeremy Lin won't unleash all of his potential?

It should be so, Yang Lei thought.

Because the big picture is made up of countless small individuals, the individual changes very little, but the combination changes a lot.

In other words, Jeremy Lin has always had crazy strength, he just lacks an opportunity.

Yang Lei felt that he could give it a try.

"I want to meet Jeremy Lin and talk to him. ”

Yang Lei returned the small notebook to the head coach: "But I hope that in tomorrow's game, you can give Jeremy Lin a little more time to play, give me an intuitive judgment, and I also want to know whether it is worth it to find him to endorse the sneakers." Please, this is my serious request. ”

OK, the coach and manager agreed, and the two player bosses didn't have an opinion.

Anyway, the Rockets are very good, second in the West, and tomorrow's opponent Nets is the fourth from the bottom in the East, the fish belly team.

Yang Lei was a little excited.

Whether he can ignite this aggrieved explosive bag and detonate Jeremy Lin's madness, there is only one chance.

If he fails, OK, he'll be patient.
