"Zhou Yang, maybe you shouldn't come to the rocket. I don't care, I might go to the Heat when I play two years and become a free agent. You look at their momentum. I used to play as a backup point guard, and it would have been nice for you to come back to the Miami Heat as a backup backup, and it wouldn't be like this."

Lowry and Zhou Yang are players who have played side by side together. Although the relationship was not so good when they were in Memphis, they became cordial when they both left the Grizzlies.

At the beginning of last season, Mark thought that without Zhou Yang, he could finally become the absolute main force by himself! At that time, Miller and Guy did not have much affection and tacit understanding for Gasol Jr., and the two also felt that they would leave the Grizzlies soon.

With Sean Battier and Mark's older brother Pau Gasol leaving the Grizzlies, the team's previous style is nearing its end. The management, on their part, has been thinking about how to reinvent the team. The final plan is naturally to make Gasol Jr. the core of the team!

Without Zhou Yang and Mime, the team seems to have suddenly lacked some key factors, and its combat power has begun to decline! No matter how much the team adjusts, they can't play the same as last season, and when they were violently treated by their opponents in the playoffs, it also became clear that they missed out on some great players in the championship season

They don't know whether it's Zhou Yang or Mime, but in the end, they found that the Heat team passed the playoffs and went directly to the finals! The Grizzlies that season were also completely cool. Lowry's season was a mixed bag, with the team saturated with guards until he was traded to the Rockets.

Houston's side is like a second Lakers team at this point. Although the heat is high, they can't play anymore. The players are struggling as hard as they can, but this is the NBA. Scola also knew the difficulty, and he had probed too low.

Last season's Rockets, Scola obviously felt powerless, that is, the team seemed to have entered a state of leaderlessness after the absence of Yao Ming and Maddy, and everyone in the Rockets wanted to get good statistics! Good for this as a bargaining chip with the team next season!

This leads to a disagreement in the game. Originally, there were shortcomings in the center, and the team's overall shooting accuracy was not high, and Scola played a more torturous season. But after a season, Yao Ming has no intention of coming back.

"I'm okay anyway, I'm on a one-year contract with the team. It's a big deal, let's talk about it next season. I don't think Riley will pay me a high salary just because I want to get back to the Heat. He's probably going to turn me down right away just in order to get some good other teams. Zhou Yang said relaxed on the bench.

"Wouldn't it?! Last season, he praised you a lot in the media," Lowry said to Zhou Yang with some surprise.

"How not. Business is business. If the Heat don't get the Dragons and James, I'm still going to be a competitor for them. But when both the Raptors and the Cavaliers want to trade with them Miami Heat and it gets successful, I don't matter."

Both of them were soaked in sweat at this time. Zhou Yang has just finished the obstacle attack training. Lowry, on the other hand, did three sets of shooting drills. After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the two began to be silent.

"Hey, look at that guy. I feel that Yao Ming is the kind of rare person, maybe there will be a title of 'legendary center' in the future! Lowry was supporting his body with his hands at this time, and his legs were naturally relaxed, looking like he was catching up with his friends.

The Rockets have been losing to the Celtics since losing to each other by a large margin of one and now in 10 games in the regular season, with the Rockets winning only one game.

Now the Rockets, who are at the bottom of the West, seem to be the new underdog in the eyes of fans and the media. The Warriors, who have Jeremy Lin and Curry, are currently ranked 9th in the West! Zhou Yang knew that in a few years, the Warriors would become even more and more crazy! The team relaxed when it came to playing this part.

Players with lower salaries are uncomfortable because they can't get good numbers with the Rockets, and they can't clock in to work in the regular season with a high salary like the big guys on the team. Players like Zhou Yang and Martin are tens of millions of stars! They were angry but helpless when they thought of this. That's the case with the Rockets, where new stars are naturally paid high, while those who are not famous and capable are pitifully low.

Zhou Yang followed Lowry's eyes and saw Hassan, who had been alone in the training hall for the past two days. I don't laugh with my teammates anymore after training. The last two games were directly abandoned by Adelman. I didn't even give a chance to play.

There is speculation that the Rockets are about to cut Whiteside in order to free up salary to recruit other center players.

During this time, Zhou Yang has been holding back. If the team really gets better and better, then he doesn't think he can do it, and that's fine. Playing for the Rockets, it is natural to hope that the team can have such a situation.

But after losing 73-118 to the Green Shirts, the Rockets don't seem to have much more energy. Adelman was going to get sick, but the team was still lifeless. Now whoever sees Team Rocket is like encountering a soft persimmon!

"It's not okay to go on like this," Zhou Yang and Lowry chatted intermittently for a while, and then suddenly the heavyweight guard Lowry next to the team said.

"What's not to do? Adelman is very good, but you see this is the way we are in the team now. I guess huh? What do you mean? As Lowry was talking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned his head to look at him suspiciously.

"These training sessions are not very helpful to the players, especially Hassan, he needs to learn too much," Zhou Yang said as he pretended to look at the ceiling of the stadium with a deep face.

"Zhou Yang You"

"That's right, I'll ask him to go. What's the matter, the other party agreed," the two understood at this time. And Lowry could already feel his heartbeat beating noticeably faster!

"Hassan, what do you think of Mime?" Zhou Yang didn't mention the matter of running the class, so he came over and asked Whiteside directly.

"What? Boston's team? ”

"yes, the older player who joined the Celtics"

"I still remember the game between Meme and us, and he scored 36 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists! The media also said that he was a backup center for the Celtics, so why do you ask this? Hassan suddenly turned back to Zhou Yang with some confusion and said.

"It seems that you are not completely heartless and playing" Zhou Yang ignored Hassan's question, but noticed that this big man still cared about the game.

"Oh, what about paying attention. I got in touch with a team in the CBA last night. They are willing to give me a good annual salary. Zhou Yang, I admit that you have played well in recent games. But I'm going to be fired from the team, obviously, and now the coach doesn't want to use me."

Hassan said with some frustration. His team-mates are better now, and he feels like a rat crossing the street when he walks out of the arena. On the street, there are fans who recognize him and run away, and an old lady who looks to be in her 80s points at his nose and scolds him for ruining the Rockets this season

"Mime used to move quite slowly, but he was still faster than you back then. His mid-range shooting ability is also around 50, which is also a lot higher than you. I taught him some techniques by his side, but it also requires hard work, and you can't lose it after a long period of training."

"You? Haha, you just took the speculation or nonsense stuff in the media? Hassan looked at Zhou Yang's face with some disbelief and said with a smile.

"No, lad! Mime can have today's achievements, and there is a credit to Zhou Yang. I don't know why he went to Boston, but if he came to the Rockets, it wouldn't be your business," Lowry said as he walked over to the young man.

"How do you know, how do I know you're not working together to make fun of me," Hassan said, still looking at Lowry in disbelief.

"I'm going to start a class, what do you think of teaching you something privately? As for the future record of the Rockets, and you don't get much salary now, I won't ask you to pay too much tuition," Zhou Yang said as he looked at the young man.

"How much does it cost for me to learn?" Hassan's words made the two people opposite him not know what to say for a while. Didn't you just believe it? Changed his tune so quickly.

"I think you made a joke on us~ Do you know when the Grizzlies won the championship? At that time, it was Zhou Yang who taught a lot of skills in the class, and the team was able to reach the finals in the playoffs and win the championship! ”

"You two are pretty realistic. I'm a dead horse and a live horse doctor now. No, I'll just leave the NBA and go to the CBA for a few years. ”

Hassan was talking to himself with his head bowed by himself, while Zhou Yang and Lori opened their mouths wide. This kid really dares to speak. Lowry is also a capable defender now. And Zhou Yang also made a name for himself last season.

"Prices are going up so much right now. But I still don't want to pay for tuition with the rise in prices," Zhou Yang said at this time.

"That's great! $500 per class must be excellent~" Lowry said beautifully beside Zhou Yang at this time.

"What do you want? $20,000 per lesson. Bargaining is not accepted. Hassan, I'll make you cheaper. $18,888 per lesson. Zhou Yang said very naturally. He wanted to book a class for $50,000. Prices are rising so fast now. But then think about my current salary of more than $10 million a year.

It can be said that since the beginning of last season, Zhou Yang has entered the level of players with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. And it has also raised salaries by more than $3 million this season. $15 million in a single year on the Rockets! He remembered correctly, the current salary should be second only to Yao Ming!

"Hehe, you still say you two didn't play with me?" Hassan said with a sneer.

"I followed! I still have the money to take a few classes a month," Lowry said immediately.

"I don't care anymore. Zhou Yang: Your personal ability on the field is really strong. I'm envious and hope you don't lie to me, I want to learn something before I get out of here."

"Pay the tuition fee for three months first, and I think the total is 56,664 US dollars! After learning my class, stay in Houston and play with peace of mind~ Lowry, what do you think of my slogan? What's wrong? ”

Lowry looked at Zhou Yang with a "you're too much" expression at this time. Everyone has promised to learn a section from you first. You asked him for money for three classes at once. I'm afraid that the other party will run away.

"Okay! I didn't earn much, so I just wasted the more than $50,000! I'm also extravagant! ”

"This time it was Zhou Yang's turn to be speechless. $56,664 for these three lessons is not much, little brother!

"I'll tell Adelman to give you some time in the next game. It's not easy to win anyway, so it should be fine to go up and play for 10 minutes."

"Well, it's worth the more than 50,000 dollars," Hassan said with a smile at this time.

"Zhou Yang, why didn't I find out that you still have this purpose. You tell the coach, I want to play for 20 minutes, there is no upper limit," Lowry said to Zhou Yang with a smile at this time.

"Lowry, I found out that you changed after coming to Rocket. It's not as grumpy as it was with the grizzlies. Where is your lower limit? Has it become a bottomless pit? ”

"I also paid the tuition~ Since I have given benefits to Hassan, I also plead for me~" Lowry really wants to play the main role in a team! But he's playing limited time with the Rockets right now.

"Special treatment for special players. There are a lot of defenders in the team. This is the only one such a center," Zhou Yang finished speaking, turned his head and was about to leave with the big man.

"Mime and Hassan are really lucky, okay" Lowry immediately finished like a deflated balloon after listening to Zhou Yang's words at this time, and turned to find his trainer.

"If you two make fun of me, I have to say that I almost believed it when it came out just now," Hassan said behind Zhou Yang at this time.

"You don't even think about this when you shoot now. I'm interested in your bounce and explosiveness. As a power center, you don't necessarily have to be able to shoot. You have too many shortcomings, let's take our time"

Zhou Yang said thoughtfully in front of Hassan. I don't care if the big guy listens or not.

"Time is of the essence. Now you can start doing switchback running training on the field, and all kinds of flexibility training should be done three times, five times. Go and supervise it yourself," Zhou Yang said after immediately turning around at this time and almost colliding with Hassan.

"Don't make a fuss, I can't do it all over again," Whiteside reoffed. Do it all over again? Is Zhou Yang crazy, and he has to train five times as much as usual!

"Think about it, either do it now, or you wait to be cut by the team," Zhou Yang immediately said coldly to Hassan.

"I shouldn't have agreed to your class," Whiteside felt even more depressed

"Come in~" Adelman said to Zhou Yang outside the door wearing a loose coat at this time.

"Coach, I'm here today to ask why you haven't let Hassan play in the last game." didn't go around the corner, Zhou Yang entered the house and said straight to the point. With a smile on his face.

"This guy has good physical fitness, and he can dunk as well. But he's slow to move around the Circle. Yao Ming was the same back then, but not every player had Yao Ming's combat power. I know you mean well, but Hassan may not be in the team for long."
