After watching the news of the Mavericks' championship parade, Yao Ming turned off the TV and prepared to go into the bedroom to tell his daughter a bedtime story. Before that, Yao Ming received a call from the Chinese Basketball Association.

The content of the conversation between the Basketball Association and Yao Ming is very simple, the Asian Championship registration deadline is approaching, what is Yiyang's attitude.

And Yao Ming's answer to the Basketball Association is also sincere enough: "I haven't received any reply at the moment. ”

"I was going to wait until the playoffs were over to talk to him about it, but the Mavericks made it all the way to the Finals and just finished the championship parade yesterday. This kind of thing, I can't force people, right? ”

"Hey, it's better to fix it as soon as possible. We're under a lot of pressure this year, and if we don't win the title, it's hard to explain to the fans. "The Basketball Association knows that Yao Ming is concerned about Chinese basketball, so he will definitely do his best to convince Yiyang.

"Well, I'll get in touch with him again, wait for my reply."

"We've all been waiting for good news from you, Da Yao."

After a few more pleasantries, Yao Ming hung up the phone. He sighed, then looked out the window. Chinese basketball, now only rely on the players from the American system to support the scene?

Not long after hanging up the phone, the mobile phone in Yao Ming's palm vibrated again. This time, the caller's name was displayed to Yao Ming, who was a little surprised. Duffy.

"What's the matter, man, you must have forgotten that I was retired." When Yao Ming saw his former manager calling, he first made a joke affectionately.

"You're retired? Damn, I have a big business contract here and I don't know who to give it to. By the way, I have a young man named Yi under me, and I think he should be able to do it. Duffy expertly steered the conversation from joke to business.

"Alright, let's get down to business, old man, what's the matter with me this time?"

"Yihe and the Chinese national team, these days, you should be anxious about this."

When Yao Ming heard this, he instantly understood. Of course he knew Bill. Duffy is Yiyang's manager, but he didn't expect that Duffy would also intervene in the matter of Yiyang joining the national team. After all, Yao Ming used to decide whether to play in the national team game or not, to be precise, Yao Ming would not miss any national team game at all. Bill. Duffy did not intervene at all in this regard. Now, everything is different. Yiyang is not himself, and he can't force Yiyang.

"So, you also asked you to contact me?"

"I just finished talking to him, I'm sorry Yao, I'm afraid even I won't be able to help you this time." Duffy's tone was a little low, and Yao Ming held his forehead after listening to it. Did the plan to recruit Yiyang fail in the end?

"It's okay, tell him to continue playing well in the NBA in the future. The national team, it's all up to the individual. ”

"No, I think you're mistaken, Yao. I apologize because I can't visit you in Shanghai anymore because he will be flying directly to Wuhan for this year's Asian Championships! ”

Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Yao Ming was stunned for a moment. went around in a circle, and it turned out that he was still caught up in Duffy's "joke".

"He agreed!?" But soon, Yao Ming became excited.

Of course, of course he would say yes. He's a Chinese player, Yao, and of course he'll say yes. ”

"Hahahaha, do you know Duffy, I love you to death!"

"Don't, I already have a wife and children." Duffy on the other end of the phone smiled and shook his head, it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with Yao Ming, but Yao Ming will be excited to help the Chinese team recruit a strong reinforcement. This guy's affection for the national team is far greater than that of any star. And this is also what Duffy thinks Yao Ming is most different.

When he did not retire, Yao Ming was the absolute core of the Chinese team on the field. After retiring, Yao Ming is still helping the Chinese team in his way. How much do you love your country, Yao?

"I'll tell the Chinese Basketball Association the good news now, thank you Duffy, watch us perform in this year's Asian Championships!"

"Don't thank me, this is Yi's personal decision, I just gave him an analysis of the situation, without any persuasion. If you can really win the championship this year, then thank you to that super rookie! Fans in your country should also take a good look at how that guy rules the stadium! ”

"Don't worry, I believe that Yiyang will definitely be very popular in China. Well, I've got to tell the basketball association the big news. If you have time to come to Shanghai, I will entertain you well! ”

Hanging up the phone, Yao Ming held the phone tightly and waved his arm. At the moment, he seems to be a team manager who has completed a shocking deal. The feeling of winning the ticket made Yao Ming a little unable to wait to see the Asian Championships come earlier.

The Asian arena will no longer be dominated by big men. The point guard storm belonging to the Chinese team is about to sweep the whole of Asia!

"How?" See Bill. Duffy hung up the phone, and Yiyang asked expectantly.

"What else? Yao, that guy almost got out of the phone and kissed me! Rest assured, in the Asian arena, despite the killing. You don't have to think about anything, just win the championship and the individual accolades, and bring them all back! So, next ...... "Bill. Duffy said, pausing, pulling out his tablet.

"After solving the problems of the national team, we have to start further planning for the holidays. Do you have any ideas for yourself? Duffy called up his calendar and began to make notes on it.

"Plan...... I have to take my mom around to play. I also promised Vignali that I would go to Italy for a few days. Then ......" Yiyang's eyes were staring at the ceiling, as if he was thinking very seriously.

"Then, I want to start training! I've heard that there are a lot of famous personal trainers in the United States, do you know them, Mr. Duffy? ”

"Do I know them? You should ask, which trainers I don't know! Duffy patted his chest confidently, every summer, the players will definitely find their own trainers to improve themselves. As a manager with multiple players under his command, Bill. Duffy has a lot to do with these trainers.

"That's good, I'm looking for a more well-rounded trainer so that I can get all-round improvement!"

Looking at Yiyang's expectant gaze, Duffy continued to wait, waiting for Yiyang to say his next plan. But after waiting for a long time, Yiyang didn't speak.

"Gone?" Duffy spread his arms.

"Travel and training......" Yiyang thought again, and then nodded vigorously. Gone! ”

"Damn, you're going to waste your vacation, boy. Well, since you only have these two requirements, it will either be arranged without much trouble. When does the tour depart? Duffy pulled out the Bluetooth keyboard paired with his tablet and began to schedule his trip on his calendar.

"After Dirk's birthday on June 19th, I'm not going to leave Dallas until that day."

"Let's start on June 21 and travel until the end of July. And after that? Jump right into training? ”

"That's right, start training now!"

"Then from the end of July or the beginning of August, I will arrange a personal trainer for you to start a new round of training. In September, you returned to China to play in the Asian Championships. What about the end of September to mid-October? Duffy looked up again and asked Yiyang's opinion.

"Keep training!" Yiyang replied categorically.

"You madman, have you forgotten that you still have a bunch of business activities to participate in? From the end of September to the middle of October, I will guarantee you daily basic training. But your main task during this time is to start a variety of business activities. If I could, I would even like to arrange a trip to China for you. I'll talk to Adidas about this plan slowly! At the mention of business, Duffy's face finally showed a slight smile. Playing basketball is Yiyang's business, and Duffy's specialty is to make money!

Seeing that Duffy typed a lot of dense words on the calendar, Yiyang nodded with satisfaction. "At least this summer, I don't have to work at a convenience store anymore."

"One more thing, at the moment, the NBA's collective bargaining is not optimistic. If there's a downtime, we have to be prepared. When the time comes, will you be willing to accept contract offers from other national leagues? ”

"What do you think?" Of course, Yiyang has no concept of such a thing, although this labor negotiation is related to the vital interests of Yiyang and their players, but Yiyang has never paid attention to it. This season, he has put all his attention on the championship race.

"If you want to make money, of course you have to go. As long as you want, your country's CBA league will definitely offer you a hefty offer, and the Euroleague also makes sense. But if you want to really improve yourself, it's better to follow a personal trainer during that time. The low-level league doesn't mean much to you anymore. Duffy knows that Yiyang is a player who cares a lot about "money", which he is very similar to Jennings. This kind of rookie who comes out of the slums generally does not refuse the invitation of "money".

But Yiyang's answer was beyond Duffy's expectations.

"Then if there is a downtime, I will train with the trainer. Since you also said that other leagues don't mean much to my improvement, then I don't need to go. Yiyang waved his hand, as if it was not an option for him at all.

"You don't have to worry if you can't get the money during that time?"

"With you, I'm not afraid of running out of money!" Yiyang smiled, for him now, improving himself is more important than a temporary reward.

"You're different, too." Duffy pressed enter and finalized the general plan for the Yiyang holiday.

If, before the draft, you ask Duffy who of his two men, Jennings or Yiyang, has a greater future achievement, Duffy may not be able to answer you.

But now, this ace manager will definitely choose the latter.

After a summer, this super rookie, who has already shocked the world, will definitely shake the league again!
