"Hey......" Yao Ming's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huh? What's wrong? Lu Fei turned down the music in the car.

He was a little surprised that Yao Ming would call him, because Yao Ming has always been an assertive person, and if there is something that he can't decide, he can also ask his agent, his team, there is no need to call him from near and far.

"Didn't I hear that you won the game and came to congratulate you, don't be cautious when you receive a phone call and think that someone else is planning something wrong?"

Listening to this tone, it seems to be in a good mood?

Lu Fei smiled: "I'm not afraid of stimulating you, but you have already lost two games in a row, and if you lose two more games, you will have to report to the national team ahead of me and Dazhi." ”

"Then I'll go back and wait for you with good wine and food."

……

“…… Let's get down to business, the headlines have been about the Lakers and the Rockets lately, how about you and Van Gundy? Is it really a mess? Lu Fei almost took the initiative to lead the topic to this matter, because it was impossible for Yao Ming to call him just to talk about his parents, and the topic that the two of them wanted to talk about was still this after all.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's a mess." Yao Ming sighed.

Lu Fei estimated that if he didn't make a fuss, Van Gundy would not complain to the media, because the internal affairs of the team can generally be resolved privately, and they will be resolved privately, unless it is really time for the soldiers to meet, and there is no way to talk about it in private, so other methods will be used.

Among them, pressure through the media is often the most common method.

Van Gundy's complaint to the media is ostensibly a pressure on the team's management and Yao Ming, but in fact, it is a kind of dumping, because when the team loses, it is the coach who usually bears the brunt of the problem.

Van Gundy has just taken office, and at a normal pace, this year's pot can't hit him on the head.

Because according to the course of history, it was Francis who was eventually traded.

Who knew that Van Gundy jumped out first.

If you want to blame Van Gundy for this matter, Lu Fei just said a few words that didn't hurt when he chatted with Yao Ming, and when he changed to another coach, when Yao Ming didn't choose to gain weight, he should consider changing the team's playing style, but Van Gundy was stubborn like a cow, he thought that Yao Ming had destroyed his system, Yao Ming was against him, if Yao Ming was against him, then wouldn't it be troublesome for himself to establish Yao Ming as the core in the future?

So he simply threw the pot that couldn't be smashed on his head to Yao Ming out of thin air at the juncture of losing.

The team is also a headache, Yao Ming is behind the vast Chinese market, the boss wants to rely on Yao Ming's big tree to make money, naturally it is impossible to trade Yao Ming away, generally the coach must go if the coach is not in harmony, but Van Gundy has already thrown the pot out, if Van Gundy is fired at this time or after the end of the season, they will be scolded by American fans for the Chinese market, and the appearance is too ugly.

But if Van Gundy is not fired, it may be a blessing or a curse for Yao Ming to remain in his hands.

At this time, the team began to regret that Yao Ming didn't care about Yao Ming's opinion when he opposed weight gain, and the team adopted a muddy approach in the middle, which eventually led to the current incident.

The current management of Team Rocket is like an angry little minister, sandwiched between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the two ends are not people.

Lu Fei sighed when he thought of this, and said: "Have you ever thought about a question, the team management may not take any measures, whether it is now or in the offseason, they will continue to ...... this pot of mud?"

Yao Ming on the other end of the phone pondered for a long time before he said, "I understand." ”

Van Gundy has just been in office for a year, and the cuts are too ugly, the fans are not happy, and the Chinese market behind Yao Ming can't give up, he has just made money for two years, and it's a pity that he didn't squeeze it clean.

Therefore, the team would rather choose to pretend to be stupid and maximize the benefits on the current basis.

"So you're keeping silent for now, because you understand that it's useless to say more, right?" Lu Feidao.

"Yes." Yao Ming has only said one sentence from the time it happened to the present, 'I don't think I have a problem with my weight', and since then, he has remained silent.

Lu Fei has to admit that Yao Ming has actually seen this matter very thoroughly, as a player who has only been in the league for two years, few people can see the NBA business so thoroughly.

"Actually, I just called you to ask if there is any way to solve this matter as soon as possible, and I don't want to drag this matter until the summer and affect the summer Olympics." Yao Ming said.

"Solve it as soon as possible?" Lu Fei frowned slightly.

"That's right, I don't want to drag it out, I want to solve it as soon as possible." Yao Ming said categorically.

"You want to leave the rocket?" Lu Fei asked.

He didn't ask Yao Ming if he wanted to find a way to cut Van Gundy, because Van Gundy had already preempted the attack, and it was impossible for the team to cut him in the short term.

"Yes." Yao Ming replied.

"Which team do you want to go to?"

"It's the right team for me."

"Lakers?"

"......" Yao Ming didn't speak, but Lu Fei understood.

Lu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was obvious that this matter was different from what he expected, originally in his mind, whether it was Van Gundy or Yao Ming, he would eventually choose to finish the season in silence in the end, and then wait until the offseason, depending on the situation.

Because it is still unknown whether the Lakers will win the championship this year, if the Lakers win the championship, it is also unknown whether O'Neal and Kobe will disintegrate, even if O'Neal and the Lakers disintegrate, whether the Rockets are willing to peddle Yao Ming and O'Neal for a swap, and whether the Lakers are willing to give O'Neal to a Western team, is unknown.

The best solution is that Yao Ming, whether he stays with the Rockets or is traded to any team, don't rush to renew his contract, and when he becomes a free agent, he will directly reach an agreement with the Lakers, but this will take about two years.

The reason why Yao Ming wants to leave the Rockets is because he knows that the team will not be able to cut Van Gundy in the short term, because Van Gundy and the team management are currently on the same front, and cutting Van Gundy is equivalent to slapping himself in the face.

But staying in the Rockets, he also knows that his future is worrying, although he will not be hidden, but it is no longer possible to become the core of the team under Van Gundy.

The second reason is that because of the Athens Olympics this summer, he doesn't want to affect his state at the Athens Olympics because of these things.

"I'll give you two suggestions, but they're just suggestions, and it's up to you whether you listen to them or not." Lu Feidao.

"Okay, you say."

"The first one, wait! Wait until the team cuts Van Gundy! ”

"Waiting for the team to find another Van Gundy?" Yao Ming shook his head: "I'm afraid you don't know my situation yet, now even the fans think that I didn't gain weight is a wrong choice, just because I am at a disadvantage in the confrontation with O'Neal in this series, and I am now facing not only a Van Gundy, but also the criticism of the fans and the media...... Even if there is another coach, I don't know if it's right for me, and I can't put my hopes on things that I can't control. ”

The first few years of his career were the most precious years, and he didn't want to waste them on this kind of thing.

"That second piece of advice, let the team know you're leaving, and let everybody know that you're only willing to go to the Lakers." Lu Fei sighed.

This is the worst-case scenario, because once this matter is made, Yao Ming will face boos from the audience when he goes to the Rockets to play in the future.

Lu Fei believes that the Lakers must be happy to get Yao Ming, after all, Yao Ming is currently only on a rookie contract and takes up very little salary space.

Regardless of whether O'Neal eventually leaves or not, the Lakers will not refuse this kind of good thing.

"......" Yao Ming was silent for a long time.

Lu Fei's method made his heart skip a beat, doing so was equivalent to kicking himself into the fire pit, but it was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way.

It's been a long time.

"How?" Yao Ming's voice was low, and it was clear that he had made up his mind.

Lu Fei sighed again.

"Find Chen Qiao." There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Just like you did for me at the beginning, let Chen Qiao poke all this out, you just need to pretend that it doesn't matter to you." ”

"......" Yao Ming was stunned, it turned out that Lu Fei had already known that he was helping him at the beginning.

Feng Shui takes turns, but I didn't expect that now it was time for me to ask Lu Fei for help, but ......

That's a good idea.

Then the next day, the media blew up......
