Phillips Arena, the home arena of the Atlanta Hawks, is full of people, all waiting for the next skills competition, the skills competition is a new one this year, the All-Star Weekend competition, Tiger Washington, Jason Green, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Yao Ming, several people do it together on the sidelines, chatting, while waiting for the game to start.

Yao Ming participated in All-Star Weekend for the first time, and just participated in the Rookie Challenge yesterday, and as soon as he walked into the scene today, he was called by Tiger to sit beside him, Tiger has always been very enthusiastic about Yao Ming, Yao Ming also likes Tiger very much, after all, it is really difficult to find a black person in the United States who can speak fluent Chinese, and the other people sitting together are either Tiger's teammates or Tiger's friends, and they are all stars who have been famous in the league for a long time, Yao Ming sat with them, and instantly became the focus of the scene.

"I said Yao, I watched your game yesterday, I think you should be domineering, humility is a virtue, but in the NB schedule, you don't need this." Tiger spoke in Mandarin and chatted enthusiastically with Yao Ming.

"Hey! What are you talking about? We don't understand at all. Before Yao Ming could speak, Garnett on the side protested first.

"I'm saying, let Yao play a little more domineering under the basket. This is Chinese, the language of the Yao country. Tiger also realized that he and Yao Ming were not the only ones here, and they immediately changed to English.

"Of course I know it's Chinese, but the point is that we don't understand it. Buddy. Garnett gave Tiger a roll of his eyes.

"Tiger, you let others be more domineering, what about yourself?" Duncan unveils Tiger's shortness on the side.

"Alright! It's actually taught to me by Dennis, but I'm not an inside player, so I'm always a little lacking in using it. Tiger began to be cheeky and found a reason for himself, and the other people couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

"What's wrong with Vince now?" Garnett, after laughing, asked about Carter.

"It's very good, he lives in the basketball park now, the environment is very good, there are a lot of entertainment facilities, you can go to see him next time you go to Los Angeles, he has been in a much better mood recently." Tiger invited Carter to live in his home, but Carter refused, and ended up staying in the basketball park.

"Thank you Tiger, now I finally understand why when I renewed my contract, you advised me to add a clause on the contract about medical treatment, I think if I was injured, the Minnesota Timberwolves would not easily agree to me to go to Los Angeles for treatment." After going through Carter's affair, Garnett finally understood why the terms added to the contract were so important when he renewed his contract.

"Man, you're different from Vince, I'm in the same position as Vince, and a lot of people know that the Los Angeles Clippers aren't going to bring in Vince, but it's hard to say, you know you're a power forward. However, when you sign a contract with the team in the future, remember to add the medical clause, Yao you too, your team doctor is just as much a bastard as your boss. Tiger thought of Yao Ming's situation and deliberately emphasized it again.

"What about Jason and Chauncey? Did they add this to the contract as well? Duncan chimed in.

"Man, they were originally players from the Los Angeles Clippers, do you think they need to go somewhere else for treatment? You know, we have the best medical care right now. When it comes to the medical level of the Los Angeles Clippers, Tiger is immediately arrogant.

"I've already negotiated a contract extension with the team." Billups suddenly spoke.

Duncan and Garnett looked at each other in some surprise, Tiger is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, and everyone knows that the two of them really can't say much about Billups' contract extension.

"No need to do this, in fact, the team gave me a maximum salary, Andy also prepared a big commercial contract for me, I have no reason to refuse at all, originally my agent told me that the team may not be able to give me too much contract, after all, the team now has two players with the highest salary, and Tiger's contract is only in the second tier, but Andy directly gave me a maximum salary from the beginning, and there is no need for an agent to negotiate, I suddenly felt that maybe I can do without an agent, so that I can save a lot of money." Billups saw that the atmosphere was quiet, and he knew what everyone was thinking.

"Andy and I discussed this at Christmas, and Coach Bill Fitch and I both thought that you should retire with the Los Angeles Clippers, and you have no problem with your ability to get the maximum salary, and as for Andy's miser, he didn't ask for a change in your contract, but asked me to change to a base salary contract." Tiger also laughed, in fact, he didn't care about this, money was not what he valued.

"Haha!"

"You're laughing so exaggeratedly, I don't agree, right? If I change the base salary contract, tomorrow the alliance will introduce new terms, and besides, the base salary contract is not enough at all, and I will buy milk powder for my future children. Tiger exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Tiger, do you still need a salary, buy milk powder for your child? Man, you have a lot of money, make me jealous, if I have half of your assets, I will also buy the current team and build the team according to my own ideas, now everyone in the league is jealous of you, we usually don't speak freely, only you are unconstrained. "Garnett speaks to a lot of people, like they have too many limitations.

"No, you're wrong, man. Andy and Lee, both of them often restrain me, one for my money, the other for my life, okay! I don't have any freedom other than to speak. Tiger was complaining, but the smile on his face showed that he was satisfied with his current life.

"Haha!"

"Honestly, Yao, how are you doing in Houston? I advise you not to renew your rookie contract with the Houston Rockets after your rookie contract is complete. After everyone laughed, Tiger said what was in his heart to Yao Ming, he hoped that Yao Ming could change, but unless Yao Ming himself was willing to leave, it would be difficult for other teams to take Yao Ming from Houston.

"Why? I've had a good time in Houston, and Tang Shuai and his teammates have been very good to me. Yao Ming asked suspiciously.

"Your boss is the most stingy boss in the league, he's a vampire, you're just a Yao money tree in his eyes, I know you're under a lot of pressure, especially after Wang has already won the championship, if you want to touch the final championship trophy, your domestic prestige, surpass Wang, you have to leave the Houston Rockets, where you can never see hope, don't want to pay the luxury tax team, it's hard to get out of the West now." Tiger used the championship to trick Yao Ming into leaving Houston.
