Chapter 118: Invitation
Olajuwon explained the basic movements of the center to the three for a long time, and although he didn't know the mood of Yao Ming and Michael Olovo Kandi, Chamberlain felt that these were exactly what he was missing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because whether it is in college or in the Spurs, Chamberlain was not a character worth focusing on cultivating at the beginning.
After Olajuwon finished explaining, the three of them carried out the first exercise under his guidance - the practice of footsteps.
At this time, it was seen why Yao Ming and Michael Olovo Candi were the champions, while Chamberlain was a failed draft, and when they successfully completed this, they turned forward, turned back, and stepped sideways, like babbling children, Chamberlain was still corrected by Olajuwon, repeating these boring exercises over and over again.
"How does it feel, Aaron?"
On the way back, Yao Ming asked Chamberlain, who was sitting in the co-pilot.
"I'm a wild road, I feel like I've really come to the right place this time, and those have helped me a lot."
Speaking of this, although he has not yet learned the "dream footsteps", it still makes Chamberlain feel satisfied.
"Haha, then you can practice well! I'll be back tomorrow. ”
"Returning home? Oh, it's to prepare for the Olympics, right? ”
"yes."
Yao Ming replied and paused, as if he was a little hesitant: "You... Ever wanted to make it to the national team? ”
"I've thought about it, but I don't force it, I still have some understanding of domestic things."
Chamberlain is very clear about Yao Ming's hesitation, and in China, some things are already very transparent.
"Although I would love to partner with you, you know, it's very serious in China. Moreover, there is a lot of commission for players who go abroad. ”
"Well, I've heard of it, it's okay, it just doesn't affect my practice."
Chamberlain knew that Yao Ming was afraid of his own loss, so he said this, so he smiled at him, saying that he was very satisfied with the current state.
"But you weren't trained by the state, maybe it's better."
In order to be afraid of self-defeating and make Chamberlain afraid of the national team, Yao Ming added another sentence when he was about to get home.
Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders in reply.
Domestic fucking is a common occurrence, and Chamberlain doesn't think he's going to be an exception. Can "not they cultivate" be a reason to refuse to take a commission? Can it be a reason for those people to be less disciplined about him?
Absolutely not!
Because the domestic endorsement market is too big, so big that anyone will be blushing. They had no intention of "sharing the spoils", and Chamberlain did not believe it in any case. And there is already Yao Ming, honors, achievements, and "fig leaf", so if there is one more Chamberlain, if it can't bring the benefits of seeing, it will mean nothing to those people.
Chamberlain did not mind serving his country, and he was eager to stand on the international stage and let more people know him, but he had absolutely no intention of finding himself a "father".
Seeing that Chamberlain didn't mean to answer, Yao Ming ended the topic and didn't mention it again.
On the second day, Yao Ming left early, and when he left, he handed over the keys to the villa and the keys to the car. Chamberlain was not hypocritical, so he took it, sometimes the relationship is to a certain extent, and politeness will cause unnecessary estrangement between people!
"I'm leaving, Rina, if you're feeling bored, go out for a walk by yourself."
Seeing Yao Ming away, Chamberlain prepared to go to Olajuwon for training again.
"Well, come back early."
Rina also waved her hand and watched Chamberlain drive away.
Although the United States is a country with a serious gap between the rich and the poor, their citizens do have a high degree of freedom.
On June 26, it was the day when the Spurs, as this year's champion, went to the White House to visit George W. Bush, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the Spurs anymore, Chamberlain refused the invitation sent to him by the White House! And the media actually attributed this to "player personality", a term that is neither praise nor derogatory, so that Chamberlain had to sigh!
The basic training is very boring, although the effect of the training is remarkable, but the shortcomings are too short, so that the day for Chamberlain to enter the next link is still far away!
"Allen, a guy who calls himself Nate McMillan called you today and said he was in Houston and wanted to see you."
Coming back another day, as soon as I sat down on the couch, Rina told Chamberlain the news!
Chamberlain, because he didn't want others to disturb his training, left his mobile phone in Rina's hands.
"Nate McMillan."
After recalling it carefully, Chamberlain felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember anything: "Did he say what he did?" ”
"He said he was a coach in Seattle."
Because Chamberlain has been on the phone too much lately, Rina has written down each of these items on a notepad, and there are scouts of a certain team, managers of the team, and agents, but the identity is the coach, and it is very easy to find.
"Seattle."
Muttering, Chamberlain took the notepad from Rina's hand, found the phone on it, and called back! In any case, as a head coach, being able to condescend to Houston shows that he takes himself very seriously, and out of politeness, he must be the first to know about it, although it is more helpful to rely on his contract.
"Hey, hello, I'm Chamberlain, I just came back from training, I just learned that you once called me, I hope it didn't bother you."
The phone was quickly connected, and Chamberlain explained as soon as he opened his mouth!
"Hello Zhang, I'm Seattle head coach Nate McMillan, I'm here to invite you to join my team, and if you have time, I'd like we can meet in person."
On the other end of the phone came a very neutral voice, very slow, but full of energy.
"Oh, okay, please tell me a location, and I'll visit you."
At stake for his future and future, the offseason was long, but it was also short, and Chamberlain came up with the idea of meeting immediately.
"ClubQuartersin Houston, this hotel is just around the corner from the Toyota Center in Houston, I'll be waiting for you at the door of the hotel."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Milan, I'll go right away."
"Goodbye, my lad."
"Are you going out, Aaron?"
As soon as Chamberlain hung up the phone, Rina, who had already served a nutritious meal made by herself, asked him.
"I'm sorry baby, I can't eat your carefully prepared nutritious meal today."
Chamberlain kissed Rina on the cheek and apologized to her.
