"Ann, hurry up, let's go!"

At the door of the apartment, Abby took Timo and held Tony, waiting for Anxi at the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Coming, coming......" An Xi pulled two large boxes and got out of the apartment.

Houston is only 319 kilometers from San Antonio, and it only takes 3 hours to drive, so Anxi and Abby decided to drive to Houston themselves instead of going with their teammates.

During this All-Star Game, Abby didn't have any interview tasks, so this time he followed Anxi, basically to play, dragging the box, and then carrying the box into the car alone, Anxi closed the trunk of the car with a bang, and then watched Abby put Timo in the back row, and then hugged Tony and sat in the co-pilot.

Anxi started the car, "Let's go!"

San Antonio to Houston, 3 hours by car, the first half of the journey is driven by Anxi, the second half is driven by Abby, while walking, Abby booked a hotel in Houston with his mobile phone, but halfway through, Anxi received a call from Da Yao, who invited Anxi to his Yao restaurant as a guest.

So, 3 hours later, the car drove into Houston, and Anxi drove to Yao's restaurant directly through positioning and navigation.

Yao Restaurant is still very famous in Houston, on the one hand, the geographical location of Yao Restaurant is very superior, located in Houston's most prosperous Xicheng District high-end restaurant street Wiesheimer Street, but when Anxi entered, this Yao restaurant was a crowd, which was also caused by Yao Ming's seldom to Houston in recent years.

Yao Ming once said that Yao Restaurant has nothing to do with him, this Yao character is not Yao Ming's Yao, but Yao Ming's father's Yao.

However, in the early years, when Yao Ming had not yet retired, Yao Restaurant did attract a large number of Chinese and Rocket fans to dine again because of Yao Ming's frequent visits.

"Xiao An, are you coming?" An Xi was led by the waiter to a private room in the innermost part of the long passage, in addition to Da Yao and Ye Li, there were also Ah Lian and his wife Jin Ling sitting in the private room, and there was a little girl running around there, it was Xinlei, Yao Ming and Ye Li's daughter.

"Sit down, sit down. ”

This meal, it seems that they are all brought to the family, Anxi with Abby, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, but this language problem is a little troublesome, after all, only Abby here is not Chinese, chatting, will definitely not use English.

But soon Anxi found that the embarrassment of this language did not exist, at the dinner table, after the food came up, Anxi chatted with Da Yao and the United Arab Emirates, but Ye Li took the initiative to talk to Abby, the two plus Jin Ling, the three of them have been speaking in English, Jin Ling also said that this is to help her exercise her spoken English, after all, she does not come to the United States often.

A few adults chatted, Xiao Xinlei played with Timo and Tony, the little girl's love for animals is something you can't understand, fortunately, Erha is relatively well-behaved, doesn't bark and doesn't bite, Garfield Tony is a little fierce, but the fierce is only for Erha, for Xiao Xinlei, but it is an indifferent face, of course, cats are indifferent faces, this is normal.

"Xiao An, I heard that you rejected the Spurs' contract extension?" At the table, chatting and chatting, naturally they wanted to talk about the NBA, and naturally Anxi's refusal of the Spurs' contract renewal was still asked by Da Yao.

An Xi nodded: "Yes, the contract amount is a bit low, and I think that continuing to stay in Spurs will not be beneficial to my personal development." ”

Da Yao nodded, and Ah Lian next to him interjected: "Then what are your plans now?"

"I don't know, but when the season is over, I'll try to leave San Antonio, I just don't know if Popovich will let it go. ”

There was silence between the three men for a while, they analyzed the current situation for An Xi, and Da Yao spoke first: "It's unlikely that the spurs will be released, looking at their way of playing, it is estimated that they have cultivated you as the successor of Manu." ”

Hearing Da Yao's words, An Xi smiled bitterly: "But I don't want to be a manu, and I don't think I can become a manu." ”

Da Yao nodded: "Indeed, you are completely different from Manu, Manu is a natural second or third leader, but you may become the boss of a team." ”

An Xi nodded secretly, he did think so, if Popovich really cultivated himself according to Manu, it would look good, after all, the GDP will be a Hall of Fame player, but An Xi is not willing to be a second leader for Leonard or others, An Xi prefers to be a team boss.

After chatting, An Xi sighed, and did not continue to talk about his topic, in turn, talked about the United Arab Emirates.

The UAE has played almost 10 games in the Rockets, from 5 minutes in the first game to a stable eighteen or nineteen minutes of playing time in the next few games, with an average of 6 points per game and 3 rebounds.

The matter of the United Arab Emirates is over, Da Yao talked about the men's basketball team, Giannakis has been in office for half a year, but so far, he has not gained any real power, Da Yao means, do you want to help this European iron coach, after all, they all hope that Chinese basketball will progress, and Da Yao does not want to see the men's basketball team gradually decline.

An Xi was a little silent, and the United Arab Emirates had always been a gentle person, so he didn't speak.

After thinking about it, An Xi said: "No need, Brother Yao, I think that if the men's basketball team really wants to succeed, it needs to fail once or twice, if you go to pressure, one Yanakis still can't save the men's basketball team." ”

"But how did you fail? With you and the United Arab Emirates. Da Yao shook his head.

An Xi also shook his head: "It's really difficult to fail, but it's not impossible, let's talk about this later, it's just Brother Yao, it's really not necessary to help Yanakis put pressure." ”

An Xi continued: "But other methods can be tried. ”

"Other ways?"

An Xi nodded: "Yes, for example, the establishment of a CBA league company to promote the professionalism and marketization of CBA." ”

Da Yao's eyes lit up, and the establishment of a CBA league company may be a feasible solution.

In this way, we chatted about domestic affairs again, the meal was over, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and when it was over, it was already late at night, and said goodbye to Da Yao and the United Arab Emirates at the door, Anxi carried Abby and left first.

After a night of silence, when he got up early the next morning, Anxi received a call from the NBA staff.

On February 16, 2013, the All-Star Weekend was to host the Rookie Challenge and the Celebrity Game, so the NBA notified the participating players in advance to go to the George Brown Center, where the game was held.

So after Anxi received the call, he immediately drove to the George Brown Center. (To be continued.) )
