820. Cooking Wine Again (The Fifth Watch is Coming ~ 19,000 Words Today)
"What's the matter, BIG-YAO, come alone, come early in the morning to have breakfast?" Liu Mang teased.
This morning, when Liu Mang was woken up at seven o'clock, it was Levia who came to wake up the bare Liu Mang and Alexia, because Yao Ming came.
After getting up, Alexia immediately turned into a good wife because of the arrival of guests, and said that she didn't learn Chinese breakfast, but suddenly she learned it, and after taking out the fermented noodles that Liu Mang had sealed with plastic wrap and stirred well, she began to cook omelets and fried eggs, make salads, and so on......
"......" Yao Ming took a bite of the egg cake, which has the taste of hometown, Jiaxing and Shanghai are next to each other, and many tastes are similar.
"I'm really here for breakfast!" Liu Mang was speechless, the little Lori on the side was speechless, Alexia was continuing to cook cakes with Liu Mang's live noodles, and Yao Ming was able to eat a little.
Yao Ming silently ate a few more egg cakes, burped until he ate, then drank a large glass of milk, and burped again, and the bodyguard on the side immediately handed Yao Ming a tissue.
"......" Liu Mang and Xiao Lori glanced at each other: This guy, did he lose the ball to destroy our family?
Yao Ming slowed down, looked at Liu Mang and asked seriously, "Ace, I came to ask you something." ”
Seeing that Yao Ming was so serious, Liu Mang put away his thoughts of laughing and nodded.
"How did you get management to do your bidding?" There was both confusion and envy in Yao Ming's tone.
This is a good question, Liu Mang thought about it for a while, because he has a "vision", Liu Mang thought about it, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing should be that he has the initiative!
If it weren't for the strength he played, and the fact that he and his agent Schwartz were both relatively tough personalities, and that kind of open-minded character, Liu Mang felt that he would not have such a high voice in the team.
The main thing is that strength and character bring the initiative!
The relationship with the coach and his own vision, Liu Mang feels that these just strengthen his initiative.
Without answering directly, Liu Mang asked rhetorically: "Da Yao, have you encountered anything?" ”
"I'll tell you nothing," Yao Ming sighed: "After I attended the celebration party in Beijing with you, I went back to Houston, and knowing that Nash and the Mavericks had a falling out, I immediately asked my agent to find Alexander and say that he wanted to partner with Nash, but he didn't agree, saying that a 31-year-old veteran without defense is not worth tens of millions of annual salaries." ”
"To save money?"
"Yes, that's what my agent said, the Rockets never want to pay the luxury tax." Taking advantage of the alcohol, Yao Ming simply let it go and directly said the questions he wanted to find answers to.
Let Yao Ming become more direct, so that you can communicate better, which is the purpose of Liu Mang taking out the wine, it was the same last time, the effect seems to be quite good, Yao Ming will at least take the initiative to go to the management to talk about it.
Liu Mang is not without love to think about others, mainly because the relationship with Yao Ming is really good, of course, personal reasons are also very important, Yao Ming has become stronger and longer career, which is very important to Liu Mang, and there is another point, there are only a few Chinese who can play in the NBA, and they can help one by one.
However, hearing Yao Ming's direct answer, the corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Your general manager has toxic ......"
How brainless is this? Bob Sula is 31 years old and still injured every year, can there be a failure to defend? Finally solve the attack! With Richard Jefferson and Yao Ming and Jim Jackson, they can beat the offense so badly, and it's the Rockets.
"Poisonous?"
"You can understand what that means."
"I can probably understand ......"
The conversation between Liu Mang and Yao Ming in front of him can be understood by the three girls who are quietly eating breakfast next to them, but in the end, this headless and brainless paragraph shows the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture, and the girls are confused.
Liu Mang mourned for Yao Ming, that was Nash!
Even if Nash didn't play the positional battle as well as the run-and-run, but the Nash who played the positional battle also had All-Star strength, and it was because Nowitzki was not good at blocking and dismantling, and the Mavericks didn't often play blocking and dismantling, and the junior general Johnson thought about the five-man taking turns to play singles on the offensive end, and Nash only played an All-Star level performance.
Nash isn't just a run-and-gun master, in other words, who would have thought he was a run-and-gun master before he and D'Antoni teamed up this season?
Nash used to be known for his singles shooting and pick-and-roll passes!
And the Rockets, a group of players who can block and dismantle, Jim Jackson, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, Yao Ming, are all pick-and-roll weapons, just one pick-and-roll ball carrier, in order to save five or six million a year, choose Bob Sula instead of Paul, what kind of poison is this? Yao Ming joined the Rocket Team, and in more than two years, the market value of the Rocket Team has soared from 130 million to 500 million!
After a few seconds of silence for Yao Ming, Liu Mang thought of a solution.
Of course, how can such an important matter be talked about so casually?
Liu Mang said to Little Lori: "Dinah, go and bring over the half bottle of vodka, the one with half a bottle!" ”
"Roger!" Little Lori went to get the wine.
"Could it be ......" Yao Ming had a black line on his face.
Levia also rolled her eyes, and followed the little Lori to get two Luo cups.
Then, Yao Ming watched Liu Mang pour half a glass of wine for each of the two cups, Liu Mang didn't drink it, he was going to drive for a while, Yao Ming took a big sip by himself, he called the car rental company, after taking a big sip, his face turned red when he swallowed it, and then gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, and then released it all.
"Da Yao, do you like Team Rocket?" Liu Mang asked a very important question.
"I liked it at first, but now, every time I see the Suns' report and then I see Alexander, I feel uncomfortable." Yao Ming also became much more direct after drinking, and he made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Team Rocket now.
If there was originally only Yao Ming in China who had a firm foothold in the NBA, Yao Ming would not say such things, but now that there is Liu Mang, he bears a lot less pressure, especially after Liu Mang joins the national team, Liu Mang is a representative figure in the Chinese sports world, representing Chinese basketball, and Yao Ming's pressure is further reduced.
This will not affect Yao Ming's commercial value, but can also allow Yao Ming to be "willful".
Originally, Yao Ming would not have raised the matter of Nash, but now he has "dared" to bring it up, and he is not afraid of being pointed at by the media that he interferes with the operation of the team.
Because there is a Liu Mang in the way, Liu Mang's reputation is as smelly as it is, and Yao Ming is not making more out-of-the-ordinary suggestions, but his suggestions can make him more assertive.
"Would you consider changing teams?" Liu Mang continued to ask.
"If I can, I hope to convince management to bring in reinforcements." Yao Ming replied honestly.
"Huh?" This answer was beyond Liu Mang's expectations, what about the willful attitude just now?
"I just opened a restaurant in Houston, and they won't trade me, and my business value is too high." Yao Ming still has a lot of concerns.
Liu Mang reorganized his thoughts and had a way.
"Da Yao, now, there are three paths in front of you." Liu Mang thought of three possibilities.
"So much?" Yao Ming's eyes lit up.
"Of course, what you see in front of you is a combination of handsomeness and brain." Liu Mang coquettishly touched the little flat head that Alexia helped shave in the morning.
“…… Speak human words. ”
Liu Mang said: "Okay, no kidding, the first way is for you to accept reality, of course, if you are really stupid enough to accept reality, you will not come to me."
So, now you can go the second way, try to go to management and ask for reinforcements, and threaten them with a trade request.
The third way is partly the same as the second, you can first ask the management for reinforcements, don't apply for a trade, see what they will do, if in the end they are still reluctant to spend money, you don't renew the contract, play a four-year rookie contract, and then force them to choose, either sign a qualification contract with you, or sign you first and then change, the third way is safe but requires patience, and be prepared to take one less year of maximum salary...... Anyway, your endorsement fee is so much, it's not bad for the millions, I remember that the qualification contract of the champion show is more than 8 million, which is only 4 million less, you just need to sign two more endorsements.
Moreover, I don't think your team will win the championship anyway, there are eight players on our team who have rookie contracts and have to pay the luxury tax, and your salary is only 48 million, which is less than the salary cap, and you are good enough to make the playoffs. ”
"Such a direct ......" Yao Ming felt devastated.
"What do you say?" Liu Mang pouted.
"Well, that's what worries me as well, I don't see any future at all." Yao Ming smiled bitterly.
"Da Yao, you can choose these three paths yourself, of course, if there is a better way, you can also try." Liu Mang just gave advice, how to choose it still depends on Yao Ming himself.
"I understand, thank you Ace." Yao Ming said sincerely.
"We're brothers, what are you talking about?" Liu Mang had an expression that this was what I should do.
"Yes, brother!"
The two unjust fellows have become brothers again.
"By the way, I'm hungry again, I haven't tasted my hometown for a long time, Aida, can you help me make a few more omelets to take away?" Yao Ming is really welcome!
"Of course no problem, you like to eat, I'm so happy, wait for me for a while." Alexia replied in Chinese in a strange voice.
"......" Liu Mang couldn't help but glance at Xiao Lori again: This is a brother!
"That's right," Liu Mang suddenly thought of something, and said to Yao Ming: "Da Yao, there is a suggestion, when you are in the regular season, you can learn from O'Neal during the Lakers." ”
"Learn from O'Neill? Of course, I'm slowly gaining weight right now. Yao Ming thought that Liu Mang was making him a dominant center.
Unlike in the summer of 05, after playing with Maddie for a season, the Rockets suddenly asked Yao Ming to gain more than 140 kilograms to become a heavy weapon, resulting in knees and toes suddenly bearing a weight increase of nearly 40 pounds, that is, seventeen or eighteen kilograms, now Yao Ming is gradually gaining weight, and the knees and feet are more adaptable, which is relatively much beneficial to his career.
"No, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about it, in the regular season, Da Yao, you're tired, just tell the coach that you're tired, you're the No. 1 center in the West! You have to take the privilege that the No. 1 center in the West should have! Just like me, if I want to shoot, what Maddie and Jason Terry, all I have to pass the ball obediently! Liu Mang said and glanced at the window or something, no one should have overheard, so he pretended to be forced.
"This ......"
"You can think about it, use your physical fitness on the blade, O'Neal is such a successful example, you don't learn, what Ewing learns, are you the same as Ewing, you don't gain weight and are more than ten kilograms heavier than Ewing, it's better to learn Olajuwon, you have gained weight now It's not a good way to learn Olajuwon, I don't think it's a problem to use it occasionally, but it's O'Neal who wants to learn, anyway, you can't get into the top four in the West, it's better to give it to your teammates in the regular season to play more, play more when you are in good health, be tough, if you want the ball, you want the ball, If you don't pass the ball, tell Van Gundy directly...... "Liu Mang started to teach bad children...... No, it's a bad big friend.
If you want to make greater achievements in international competitions, in addition to having the light of the Chinese people, so that teammates can collectively have a 60-70 ability evaluation in international competitions, having another superstar teammate is the real key!
Yao Ming's difference is not strength, but that momentum, he needs to be a little worse to do it, as for whether it can be done, Liu Mang said that he did his best......
……
……
Yao Ming took a few egg cakes and nibbled on them as he walked...... No, he left Liu Mang's house with a head full of troubles, and he was ready to discuss it with the agent team.
Of course, although the benevolent and righteous brothers are unkind and unjust, they are unkind and unjust, but when they are taken apart, they are not unkind and unjust.
Yao Ming is organizing the language, he will say that this is his idea, he will not sell Liu Mang, and is ready to go back and discuss this matter with his team.
Liu Mang's side, after having breakfast with Yao Ming, complained with Xiao Lori for a long time that Yao Ming was too indecisive.
Liu Mang now remembers that Maddie, who didn't meet him, is also indecisive and casual, and when he meets Yao Ming, who is also indecisive, it is strange that he can fight.
Now that the two are separated, they must take on more responsibility, without a teammate who seems to be able to shirk responsibility, Yao Ming has no choice but to push if he wants to, so the more he plays, the more confused he becomes, especially after losing 36 points just now, the dissatisfaction with the team broke out all of a sudden, and he came to find Liu Mang to solve his doubts.
As for Maddie...... When I met a certain No. 1 player, it became a hard wheat and hemp ......
After complaining for a while, the team called, Liu Mang took the luggage that Levia and Alexia had packed, drove to the airport, and was about to start another five-night trip.
The first stop was New York to play the Knicks, followed by the Celtics, Hornets, 76ers, and Pistons.
Starting from playing the Heat, the Hawks actually started the devil's schedule at the end of November, of course, before the start of the season, people thought it was the devil's schedule, these teams, except for the 76ers, the six opponents were all playoff teams last season, and the 76ers after Iverson returned from injury, it was also a playoff level, this schedule is the prelude to the Hawks' first ten or so easy games, officially entering the NBA.
But no one expected that the Knicks looked like they were going to rise last season, Alan Houston didn't play a game this season, the Knicks won less than 40%, and James Dolan has begun to urge the amnesty clause.
After the Hornets officially moved to the West, it was unexpected that they were at the bottom of the league all of a sudden, and of course, the Celtics, 76ers, and Pistons were getting stronger and stronger, which still made the Hawks feel tricky.
It's also an opportunity for coach Kruger to be both worried and determined to change the team.
Take advantage of playing against strong teams, try to see if the new tactics are suitable in the case of pressure, and continue to go down this path when it is broken, after all, the team did not start as dominant as last season, which is not a good thing for defending the title.
If it doesn't work well, give up decisively and don't delay for too long.
Liu Mang also knows a lot about this matter, so he was so serious before and asked his teammates not to be careless.
But really after getting to the Knicks...... Someone actually picked up the airport...... Liu Mang remembered, New York! Master's home field!
