Chapter 335: Heavenly Deal
Houston, Yao Ming's home.
Yao Ming was resting on the sofa, playing with the game console in his hand, one of his feet resting on the table in front of him, and his toes were covered with plaster.
The toe injury recurred, and the team stopped in the Western Conference semifinals, which made Yao Ming a little disappointed.
Originally, after the team came to Billups this year, Yao Ming was quite happy, because he finally waited for a very good point guard.
And the result is also very good, the Rockets reached the Western Conference semifinals, if it weren't for their bad luck and injury in the game against the Spurs, maybe they could have reached the finals this year!
As soon as he thought of this, Yao Ming felt regretful, he remembered 09, that year, the Rockets also fell in the Western Conference semifinals.
If he hadn't fallen down at that time, the Rockets should have been able to beat the Lakers, and then the Nuggets and the Magic would not be a big problem, that is, 09 is theoretically the closest the Rockets are to a championship!
Of course, this year is about the same, if the Rockets don't lose to the Spurs, well...... It's hard to say.
The phone vibrated suddenly, and Yao Ming's eyes dropped from the game console and looked at his phone.
The caller ID number is very familiar, and it belongs to his own agent, Duffy.
"Duffy, what's the matter?"
"Yao, there is probably something wrong with your contract renewal."
On the other side of the phone, Duffy's voice was very serious.
"Huh?"
Yao Ming frowned, there was a problem with the contract renewal negotiation?
This is something he didn't expect, to be reasonable, he won a center this year, this is the first center in the league!
And his data is so good, it should be no problem to be reasonable to continue a maximum salary.
However, now that Duffy actually said that there was a problem with his contract renewal, how is this possible?
"What the hell is going on?"
Yao Ming asked.
"This guy Alexander, I don't know what's wrong, suddenly I don't care about your contract renewal, and it seems that there are plans to trade you." Duffy's voice sounded very unhappy.
"Trade me?"
Yao Ming straightened up all of a sudden, he really didn't expect this to happen.
As a 25+10 core super center, it is unbelievable that he will be traded by his own team owner!
"Why?"
Yao Ming thinks that there is no problem with his ability and loyalty, why does the team suddenly not want him?
"Because of your injury, don't forget, your injury is an old injury, this time you are injured, people think you are very dangerous!"
Duffy said slowly:
"It may be that they feel that you have been injured again and again, this glass physique is not suitable to continue to be the core of the team, this injury is currently uncertain, and your state cannot be guaranteed after you come back, so you must trade you out while you still have a little value!"
Yao Ming stopped talking, and I have to say that Duffy's analysis is very reasonable, but it makes Yao Ming very chilled.
Since he was selected for the Rockets, Yao Ming has regarded this place as his home, and he has also paid a lot for the Rockets, and even rejected the Lakers and Spurs because of this.
However, who thought that he could die here, who would have thought that Alexander, a vampire, would actually want to trade him?!
"How could he do that?"
"Don't think about it, didn't Hakim leave in the end, I can only say that your injury is too inopportune, otherwise, it won't be a problem for me to get you a contract of more than 100 million!"
Duffy is also very helpless, the Rockets' concerns, if you put aside your feelings, from the team's point of view, it is understandable, the recurrence of old injuries, even if Yao Ming's data this season is useless, if after giving a big contract, Yao Ming can't play because of the injury, then this loss will be big.
Who will bear this loss? Team Rocket? If Yao Ming is given a big top salary, then he must also give Billups a top salary, these two people are already over 30 years old, if these two get the top salary, how will the Rockets make up for it next?
If the team is not short of money, it doesn't matter, but the Rockets themselves are not particularly well-funded, and Alexander picks the door again...... So, you know.
Therefore, it makes sense that Alexander suddenly wanted to sell Yao Ming.
"Tsk......"
Yao Ming stopped talking, he was actually unwilling to leave the Houston Rockets from his heart, after all, the Chinese have the idea of starting from the beginning.
It's a pity...... The current leadership of the rocket is relatively pitiful, and Alexander, a door-picker, is destined to not be able to do anything big.
"Who are they going to trade me to?"
Yao Ming asked Duffy, after all, the person being traded was himself, so he had to be clear about where he was in the future.
"I don't know, not a lot of teams know about it right now, but I think if you get out of the deal, there will be a lot of teams who want you."
"Duffy, you also said, I am now in a state of recurrence of my old injury, what is the state after recovering from the injury, no one knows, how can there be a team that wants me like this?"
Yao Ming smiled bitterly, he originally thought that after he played 25+10, his time would come.
How do you know that it hurts now...... There is nothing left, and I am actually put on the shelf!
"You don't have to worry about that."
Duffy still has this confidence, as one of the well-known agents, if Duffy didn't have this ability, no one would have wanted it a long time ago.
"Do you have a number in mind?"
Yao Ming knew Duffy's ability, if he didn't count it in his heart, Duffy wouldn't be so calm now.
"Fortunately, there are still a few teams that are still okay, and they are more suitable for you."
"For example?" Yao Ming asked tentatively.
"Spurs, Lakers, one of their two teams is interested in you, and, in addition to these two teams, the East side is also good, such as the Celtics, such as the 76ers where your little brother is located......"
"76?"
Yao Ming was also a little surprised, Han Miao had never told him!
"Well, your little brother's team, according to reliable sources, is likely to want to get you, and then form a Chinese combination in the NBA that has never been seen before or since."
"Oh?"
Yao Ming suddenly became interested, if he went to another place, there might really be a so-called boss dispute, after all, Yao Ming's strength and qualifications were all there, and others would not easily give him the status of the boss.
But sometimes, you have to fight in the league, because it's a status symbol.
But in 76, this problem does not exist, because the current boss of 76 is Han Miao, not only Chinese, but also Han Miao is Yao Ming's little brother.
In Yao Ming's heart, Han Miao is the leader of the national men's basketball team after him, and now he is almost introduced into the national team.
If you can cooperate with him on the field and work together, it will be a great thing!
"I'll leave this matter to you, since the boss doesn't want me first, then I also accept the fact that I was put on the shelf!"
Putting down the phone, Yao Ming looked serious, it can be said that the matter of accepting the transaction just now is one of the most important decisions of his career......
