After eating, several people drove away separately.

Yang Lei called Chen Bingni, took Boss Yao's luxury plus-size BMW, and went to the training ground of the Rocket team.

The three of them are old friends, and they chatted happily along the way.

In the past three years, the results of the Rocket team have been quite stable, Yao Ming has almost supported himself by himself, of course, there is also a part of Yang Lei's strength, Yao Ming's shoes are Reebok on the outside, and GEL gel is hidden inside.

The domestic operation is also good, the Shanghai men's basketball team has turned losses into profits, there is no need for Yao Ming to pay out of his pocket to inject capital, the club also has its own tertiary industry gym, the players play steadily, the cohesion is unprecedentedly strong, and the sword points to the CBA championship next year.

In addition to Yao Ming's shares in two real estate projects in China, his personal advertising endorsement fees have also jumped to sky-high prices, and this year, Boss Yao is estimated to have earned at least one or two hundred million.

Everyone is financially free, and there are many less troubles of ordinary people, and of course it is easy and pleasant to chat.

While waiting for the red light at the intersection, Yang Lei looked out of the car window, and there were many people walking on the crosswalk, many white and black, and a small number of Asian faces.

Yang Lei asked Yao Ming: "You have been working hard in the United States for seven or eight years, which side do you think is better than our Huaxia?"

Yao Ming smiled and asked, "Do you want to immigrate?"

Yang Lei said: "I never thought that Huaxia is very good, the scenery is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are more beautiful." ”

He reached out and wrapped his arms around Chen Binni's waist and quietly pinched it.

Chen Bingni giggled and dodged: "Didn't you say it in the news, foreign opportunities are big, and you can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month as a beggar in Dubai, and all people throw into the bowl is gold." ”

Yang Lei said: "The news also said that there are more women in Ukraine and fewer men, and you can marry a beautiful Ukrainian wife for 50,000 yuan, and there are people who go to Australia to build walls and kill cattle, and easily earn 30,000 yuan a month. ”

Chen Bingni slapped Yang Lei's arm, covered her mouth and laughed, raising bamboo rats is not a big pit.

Yao Ming is also happy: "I don't see much domestic news, is the media so arrogant now?"

Yang Lei said: "In recent years, people have been impetuous, and they all want to make quick money, and the media is also doing what they like, actively sharing the stories they just made." ”

Yao Ming sighed: "In fact, foreign countries are really not as good as you think, mediocre people will still be eliminated, and the vast majority of people still have to work hard to live a better life." Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, and love to fight will win. ”

Although he was a young man born in 90, they had also heard this old song, Yang Lei started the way, and the three of them sang together in the car.

"Love to Fight to Win" is a song that has influenced China for decades, and countless people have been moved by it, especially Hu Jian, the Chinese in eastern Guangdong and the treasure island, who struggle very hard overseas, just like the lyrics sing, when you are downcast or frustrated, you must strengthen your confidence and work hard.

Yao Ming said: "People all over the world know how important hard work is, and not only we Chinese people in Hokkien understand it, just talk about the NBA, Anthony and James are very representative." ”

James and Anthony are both talented basketball players, in high school, Anthony was stronger than James, but after entering the NBA, James worked harder, so now in his eighth year, James's overall strength slightly surpassed Anthony.

James has a strong desire to win the championship, but there is a mountain in the East that the Celtics can't climb, and in order to impact the championship, he is even willing to give up his status as a Cavaliers superstar and go to the Heat. ”

Yao Ming sighed: "And Anthony is too comfortable as the captain of the Nuggets, if it weren't for Morey to poach him repeatedly, he might still be comfortable with a big contract and continue to enjoy the superstar treatment of the team." ”

said it too well, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lei's mouth: "That's right, the results are all spelled out by themselves." ”

In the last life, James went to the Heat, won two championships in a row, and finally became a "little emperor".

And Anthony has a big contract of 5 years and 124 million US dollars, and he is just an ordinary superstar in a team like the Knicks, but he can no longer catch up with James.

This is the difference between very hard work and ordinary hard work.

Yang Lei asked: "Brother Yao, what do you think Jeremy Lin's strength and hard work are?"

"Jeremy Lin is a typical three-point talent, seven-point hard work. And I'm a little bit better than him, four points talented, and I'm grateful for the height my parents gave me. ”

Yao Ming, who has been in the NBA for eight years, is very emotional, it is too difficult for Asian players to get ahead in the NBA, although reluctantly, but they have to serve those tall and strong whites and blacks, and basketball is too particular about high-intensity confrontation.

Coming to the training ground of Team Rocket, Yao Ming parked the car and everyone came down.

Yang Lei took out a big backpack from the trunk and carried it on his back: "I brought a few pairs of sneakers today, let's talk about it when I go in." ”

With Yao Ming on the side, the security guard did not embarrass the two.

"Susan, take my friend to the C stand. ”

When Yao Ming passed by the training channel, she called a female assistant and motioned for Chen Binni to follow her.

He took Yang Lei to the locker room, there was no one around, he looked down: "What good things did you bring me again?"

Yang Lei handed him a pair of dark blue X-Sports plus-size shoes, broke the tongue, and pulled out the insole.

The bottom is a thick layer of elastic material, and the shoes are flanked by stiffer body protectors, one-piece high-top ankle protection, typical of center shoes.

He pointed and explained: "This is a new material for cushioning, a combination of popcorn and gel, or a focus on protecting the ankle, popcorn technology is a new product of the second generation, and my own new shoes have not yet been listed." ”

Yao Ming sat down to change it and tried his feet: "It feels good." ”

Yang Lei repeatedly advised: "You must be careful of your knees, to be honest, I don't know how long you can last." I've seen you go down injured a few times, and I'm especially worried that your knee will end up one day. ”

Yao Ming rubbed his knees and smiled bitterly: "I know my own situation best, and I guess this year is my last chance to hit the championship." This year, there are the Big Three of the Heat and the Celtics in the East, both teams are not easy to play, and we still have the Lakers and Spurs in the West, both of which are tough battles, and it is too difficult to reach the top. ”

"It's harder than '09?"

"Of course it's harder than '09, but we're better than '09, and with Anthony for me this season, I'm trying to win another championship, retire at the top of my game, and go back home to enjoy it." ”

Yao Ming has even thought about the way back, the domestic development is too rapid, and the achievements are obvious to the world, it is time to go back and take the fortune train of China's economic take-off.

It's wise for a sports star to retire after a success, and two championship rings should be enough to induct him into the NBA Hall of Fame and become one of the legends.

Yang Lei changed into Team Rocket's training uniform, wore black combat boots, tied his shoelaces, and stretched his feet in front of Yao Ming: "Does it look good?"

Yao Ming smiled: "To tell you the truth, your shoes are easy to use, but they are not fashionable at all, and you have to learn from Adidas." ”

"Adidas bells and whistles. ”

"So you have to use Nike's solidity and Adidas's bells and whistles, and that's what makes it a strong combination. ”

Yang Lei smiled, this is also true, in the basketball shoes classification of the North American market, 50% is Jordan, 42% is Nike, 5% is Adidas, if Adidas does not rely on its beautiful and fashionable appearance, it may not even be able to get 5%.

The two walked into the main training court, and Yang Lei heard the sound of squeaking rubber rubbing and the endless sound of slapping the ball, and he suddenly entered the state.

This is an NBA-level training ground, Yang Lei longed for it many years ago, and today he finally has the opportunity to step on it.

He said, "Brother Yao, you go and say hello to the coach and others, and ask them not to worry too much about me." ”

"Okay, Adelman should have told them about something, you call me. ”

Yao Ming left first, and Yang Lei quietly blended into the crowd while others didn't pay attention to him.

In addition to a standard playing field, there are two spare training venues next to the comprehensive training ground, and the practice players are basically substitutes, and the main players have not yet arrived, and tomorrow night will officially face the Nets.

Yang Lei noticed that Chen Bingni was sitting in the C stands, holding popcorn and sugar-free Coke, with a lively expression, waving to him from afar.

He responded with a smile and walked slowly along the edge of the training ground, warming up by the way.

The stadium is full of big men, and his proud height in China is actually short here, and this place seems to be a little giant world.

A lot of familiar and unfamiliar faces, everyone wearing Houston Rockets jerseys, Nike and Jordan basketball shoes, slapping Spalding basketball.

He even received a throw-in that was thrown wide and threw it back to the opponent.

Occasionally a few players saw him and were very curious.

An assistant coach came over and took the initiative to greet Yang Lei and shake hands: "What can I do?"

Yang Lei said: "Is it okay to arrange for me to train with Jeremy Lin?"

The assistant coach smiled: "Of course no problem, I can also arrange 1VS1 for you." ”

And the professional players 1VS1 is looking for abuse.

The assistant coach took Yang Lei over, and by the way, he called Jeremy Lin, who was practicing in the halftime, and came to the training ground next to him, signaling the other substitute who was practicing turning and making a layup to get out of the way.

The coach is the king of the training ground, and no one dares to disobey the coach.

Jeremy Lin has been observing Yang Lei.

This Chinese man, who is a few centimeters shorter than him, does not look like a professional athlete at all, although there are many muscles on his body, many of them are for aesthetics and not practical.

Yang Lei just smiled at him, took the ball from the coach, understood the instructions, and asked him to turn around and make a layup against the enemy in the chair.

Jeremy Lin stepped aside, saw Yang Lei's unprofessional dribbling, and his starting line, and judged that this was a layman in a second.

Fortunately, Yang Lei's basic skills are okay, he made a beautiful turn against the folding chair, made a hook hand layup under the basket, and the ball went in.

Ness!

The assistant coach was on the side with a commercial flattery, with a smile on his face.

Licking dogs knows no nationality, no race, no gender.
