After a day in Phoenix, the Pistons set out on their way to their sixth destination, the space city of Houston. The Rockets have not had a good record so far this season, and they are in 10th place in the West for the time being, which has given the Pistons players confidence to win two straight games. However, Chang Wei didn't pay attention to the game at all, and all he thought about was Yao Ming, who joined the NBA step by step like in his previous life, the most widely known great player in the history of Chinese basketball.

To be honest, Chang Wei almost came with the mentality of fans seeing idols, he knew very well that the Rockets could not compete with the Pistons, and the outcome of the game could be said to be doomed in advance, he just wanted to meet with Yao Ming this time, and at the same time give him some advice on personal training. In his previous life, Yao Ming did become the top center in the league after gaining weight, but this also laid a hidden danger for his career.

The Pistons arrived in Houston the day before the game began, which is also a habit for Brown, who was disgusted by rushing to the road on game day to play on the road, and he would have given the team plenty of time to prepare unless it was a back-to-back. However, Chang Wei did not contact Yao Ming directly, after all, it is a very strange thing to visit others rashly, and there is a lot of time to chat when the two sides warm up before the game, as long as Rockets head coach Tomjanovic allows it.

An hour and a half before the start of the game, the Rockets and Pistons players came to the game court of the Toyota Center to start warming up, and Chang Wei saw Yao Ming practicing hook under the basket on the other side at a glance. Chang Wei has seen a lot of photos and videos of Yao Ming in his previous life, but at that time, Da Yao had basically completed the weight gain at the request of the head coach, and he had the momentum of being a man under the basket.

However, Yao Ming is still a tall and thin guy, and his thin arms and legs don't seem to be much thicker than the small teammates next to him. However, his skills are still very good, the left and right hooks under the basket and the mid-range shooting are very soft, and he is talking to his teammates while warming up, and it seems that he is doing well with the Rockets.

Chang Wei walked straight over, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was standard Mandarin: "Da Yao, I'm glad to see you join the NBA, I'm your fan, if you don't mind, can you sign me?" Saying that, Chang Wei took off his sports jacket and handed it to Yao Ming with a marker, his eyes full of fans' admiration and love for the star.

Yao Ming was startled when he heard the familiar Chinese, and he looked even more confused when he looked at the huge piston emblem on his coat, he touched his head honestly, and said a little shyly: "You...... Hello! Are you a Pistons' crew? Chinese? ”

Chang Wei nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "I am 100% pure Chinese, but I am not a Pistons staff, to tell the truth, I am the chief assistant coach of Coach Brown, my name is Chang Wei, it's nice to meet you!" ”

Before Yao Ming could react, Mobley beside him shouted: "My God, it's really you, a magician from the East!" I've heard your name since I was in the draft, and you're a great villanova, and I've heard that you've played a very important role in it, and if you can stay, maybe you'll create another dynasty! ”

Mobley's words made Yao Mingzhang and the second monk puzzled, he didn't pay much attention to the NCAA when he was in China, and naturally he didn't know much about the dominance of the Villanova University Wildcats in college basketball. He asked curiously, "What is a magician from the East?" Do you mean Chang Wei? Why did he have such a nickname? ”

Mobley glanced at Chang Wei with some awe, and said excitedly: "When I participated in the draft, the troika of Villanova University, Maddie, Brand and Battier, all mentioned Chang's name when they were selected, and called him a magician from the East, they all admitted that their great progress was closely related to Chang, what else could he be if he wasn't a magician?" ”

Mcgrady! Brand! Battier! Yao Ming was frightened by Mobley's three names, not to mention Maddie, the most popular new generation swingman in the league at present; Although Brand is very low-key, he has been able to maintain 20+10+2 data almost every season since he entered the league; As for Battier, he is already known as a benchmark for top 3-and-D players, with countless defensive bargs looking to him as their idol and a target for moving forward. Is their progress all related to Chang Wei?

Chang Wei didn't expect Mobley to inadvertently help himself pretend to be a wave, but his heart was secretly refreshed at the same time, but his face did not show any smugness, and said with a smile: "What they said is too exaggerated, this is largely because their own talent is very good, otherwise if I help them with special training, they will not be able to reach the height they are now!" ”

Suddenly, Chang Wei's image became tall in Yao Ming's eyes, he didn't expect that the compatriot in front of him, who seemed not much older than himself, had actually made a name for himself in the American basketball world. Yao Ming's IQ and EQ are actually not low, he quickly thought that such a compatriot who has made great achievements in player training can further improve his strength and help him adapt to the NBA faster.

He said to Chang Wei: "Mr. Chang, it looks like you are a few years older than me, if you don't mind, I will call you Chang Lao." It's my rookie season, but I want to improve as soon as possible, can you please take the time to train me in the offseason? I'm really eager to make a career out of the NBA......"

Yao Ming's request was in Chang Wei's arms, he nodded, and said solemnly: "Da Yao, even if you don't say it, I will make such a request with a shy face." Although I have been in the American basketball circle since I was in college, in the final analysis, China is my motherland, and you are the hope of the rise of Chinese basketball, I will do everything to help you improve your strength, I only hope that before you retire, you can bring the Chinese men's basketball team to a new height, so that it will not be in vain what I expect from you. ”

"Also," Chang Wei continued, "don't be surprised if I give you any training programs that make you feel incredible, I think I still have some research on the development of modern basketball, you just need to remember one thing, I won't hurt you." In my opinion, when I help you, I am helping Chinese basketball! ”
