On March 6, the Rockets host the Mavericks, who are absent from Nowitzki and Finley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Maddie showed his might, scoring 32+10+5 on 11-of-22 shooting to help the team beat the opponent by 21 points.

Maddie was in a good mood after the game and hummed a little song as she stepped off the elevator. He fantasized about going home and running comfortably in a hot shower, and walked to his dedicated parking space, but a dark shadow flashed in front of his silver-white Ferrari, as if someone had been waiting for him.

"Jason, you scared me!" Maddie wiped a cold sweat and said, "Why are you here?" Are you waiting for me? ”

"Yes, we have to talk about it, both personally and professionally." This time, Yuanfei's attitude was very tough.

"Oh, but I'm tired today, let's do it tomorrow after training." Maddie looked indifferent.

"Well, I'll visit you at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's talk about it, let's go to training together. Yuanfei's words were secretly sharp, and Maddie was in a daze when he heard it. Isn't it good to talk about it, so I won't use it to train? Maddie is a little uncertain in her heart, she has known each other for many years, and this little friend is the first time to hold up the shelf of the little boss, and he is really able to calm people when he is serious.

"Whatever!" Maddie activated the Ferrari, and in a moment he put his worries behind him and began to fantasize about the comfortable bath again.

***

At 8 o'clock the next day, there was a knock on the door of Maddie's house. Maddie, who had just woken up, remembered the agreement in the parking lot yesterday, and he hurriedly ran to open the door. When she saw three figures outside the door, Maddie couldn't help but froze.

"Forgive me for inviting Hakim without permission. Mr. Olajuwon and Mr. Wien. Mr. Hall, I hope you don't mind. Yuan Fei didn't see the field and said to himself.

"Both of them are my respected seniors and my friends, so of course you are welcome to come." Maddie said it politely, but she was muttering in her heart, when did Hall have a relationship with the people of Team Rocket?

"Tracy, you don't seem to be going well lately." Da Meng is also a straightforward person, and he said straight to the point.

Maddie was about to answer, but Hall interrupted, "Tracy, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" ”

"Yes, I was too tired from playing yesterday, so I woke up a little late." Maddie was a little embarrassed.

"You don't eat regularly, how do you maintain your body functioning?" Hall was so angry, "I made such a thorough training plan for you, strictly set the nutritional intake, and even calculated the protein and carbohydrate ratio for you, but you couldn't even eat on time!" Do you have the self-consciousness to be a professional athlete? ”

Maddie bowed her head in disdain and stopped talking. Olajuwon and Yuanfei glanced at each other, and the two of them also felt very embarrassed.

Or Da Meng, as an old-timer, is thick-skinned, and he broke the deadlock. "Tracy, I'm a retired guy, I don't have anything to do with the Rockets, I'm just visiting as an old friend. Everyone sat down and talked. ”

Maddie's face softened a little, and he invited the three guests to sit down, and his fiancée, Cleenda, brought some refreshments. "I've just gotten pregnant and need more bed rest, so I won't chat with you guests." She explained.

"Oh? It's a great event, did Tracy name the child? "Yuanfei and the two have lived together for almost 40 years, but they have not had children, and they especially like children.

"We already have a daughter, and hopefully this time it's a boy, and if it's a boy, it's Simon." Maddie said with a smile, a genuine smile finally appeared on his face when he talked about the child.

"If he also likes sports, hopefully he can grow into a star as great as his father in the future and win a championship for our Rockets!" Yuanfei sent a kind blessing and cleverly turned the topic to the team.

"I know what you're here for, Hakim, Jason, Vane. My performance during this time has been very inconsistent, and although it is not particularly bad, I am also worried...... "Maddie seems to be very distressed, thoughtful.

"Tracy, everyone's opinion of you is not that you are in a bad state for a while, but that you are afraid that you will fall because of your lack of self-discipline. I want you to be the next Larry. Bird, are you going to be the next Sean? Kemp? Olajuwon spoke.

(Sean. Kemp, nicknamed Rain Man, was a famous football star in the 90s. He was selected to the All-Star team for 5 consecutive years, and teamed up with Payton to bring the SuperSonics to the Finals, but lost to the Bulls after 6 big games. He was addicted to drugs, and just after the age of 30, he stepped down from his peak and was repeatedly forced to undergo drug rehabilitation and banned from competitions. Kemp is a representative of the talented players in NBA history who fell due to lack of discipline)

"Hakim, you don't know my physical condition. Even Hall only knows part of it, my body is much worse than you think. Maddie finally decided to be honest with the trio: "When I first entered the league, I was diagnosed by a doctor who thought I was only going to have a career of 5-6 years because I had congenital scoliosis. The only way to do it is to have surgery, but I didn't dare to do this surgery because I would probably not be able to continue playing after the surgery. ”

"Huh?" The three of them were shocked, and this is not a small problem.

"I was determined that I couldn't give in to fate, I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to win championships. It's now the eighth season of my career, I've won the MVP, I've won the championship, and even if it's over today, my career will be complete. Maddie sighed: "Maybe because of this, I relaxed some of my requirements for myself, but more of it was fear, I was afraid of unknown injuries, I was afraid of my back problems again, so I was more and more afraid of training and competitions." Because I don't know when I'm going to go down, and I'm never going to be able to get back into the ring this time. ”

"It's a vicious circle!" Hall interrupted loudly: "Have you forgotten where your confidence on the court comes from?" It's when you lift more barbells in the power room that you have confidence! The more shots you hit on the training ground, the more confidence you have! If you have a problem with your spine, you need to wrap it with thick muscles! If you don't work hard, can you have these muscles? ”

"Maybe you're right......" Maddie looked down again, lost in thought.

"Tracy, there's one more thing I need to explain to you." Yuanfei played the final hole card at this point, "Your drinking buddy Mark, according to our internal investigation, he was hired by the Lakers through unofficial channels. We speculate that he was entrusted with the depravity of you, in order to disrupt your healthy routine. ”

"Huh?" This time it was Maddie's turn to be surprised. "I really didn't expect it...... I'm so stupid! ”

"The Lakers actually did such an inauthentic thing!" Olajuwon was also angry, "Can you deal with it through the official channels of the alliance?" ”

"Hakim, although the methods of this person are disgraceful, there is nothing illegal. Tracy was an adult, after all, and was not coerced. Yuan Fei looked helpless, he turned to Maddie and said: "We, as team management, have no right to interfere in your personal relationship, so I just give you a little advice as a friend, hoping that you and Mark will break off the relationship." ”

"I'll think about it."

Da Meng sighed secretly, Maddie's personality is weak, and he still can't cut through the mess quickly at such a time. He spoke: "As a senior and friend, I hope you can cheer up, first resume regular training and rest, and then slowly adjust your state. ”

"I'll try!" Maddie finally expressed her determination.

Yuanfei was a little relieved, but still had some concerns. He only hopes that this conversation will do something to make Maddie pull back from the brink and save his own career. (To be continued.) )
