As with his daily schedule, Da Yao was doing upper body strength training in the gym to stay in shape, but his mind was not here at all, and just today, in Alexander's office, the words of the Rockets boss had completely disturbed his mind.

"Chinese believe in fate." , Alexander sat down opposite Da Yao, beckoned the secretary to serve two cups of tea, "I'm ...... too"

"You know, Houston is a city with a tradition of center, so when we got the No. 1 pick in 2002, the team management didn't hesitate to choose you, and I was convinced that it was fate. ”

"In the past three years, your progress and hard work, Carol and I have seen it, and we have never regretted our choice until today!"

Da Yao listened very attentively, but in his heart, in the league, the most profound and vivid sentence that the players know is, "This is just a business field!" ”

As long as there is interest, there is no one who cannot be traded, and it seems that what Alexander is saying now confirms the repetition of this famous saying of the Alliance.

Sure enough, Alexander's next words began to cast a cloud over Da Yao's head.

"But you know, sometimes, some things, are not ...... we can decide", the Jew looked helpless at this moment, "there is a team that values you more now, and I can't refuse, I think you can understand this feeling of powerlessness, there are always some demands in life that you can't resist." ”

Three years, which is for a lonely Chinese player who is working hard outside. Adaptation to the environment. For the weaving of relationships in a foreign land. Three years may just be a threshold, but now everything that has just stabilized, and even the newly ignited hope for glory will make a huge difference.

"Yao! Focus! The physical trainer on the side pulled him out of his chaotic thoughts loudly, "Although it is just a simple strength training, if you can't concentrate, it is easy to have an accident!" ”

The trainer's extremely serious expression made Da Yao say "sorry". Raise your hand.

At this time, his agent suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside the training room, "I have added a temporary appointment at noon today!" ”

Da Yao was stunned, "Who?" ”

The agent whispered two words in his ear - "Jiang Qi".

"Sure enough, it is half ninety for those who travel a hundred miles." , is still the private room of the Chinese restaurant when I met Da Yao for the first time, but this time the person waiting for it is Lao Jiang.

He can now fully appreciate what the "tough 1%" really means, and on the one hand, the difficulty comes from the Rockets' negotiating table, Carroll? Dawson is not as mediocre as the outside world criticizes, on the contrary, the general manager of the Rockets understands the trick of "sitting on the ground" like their Jewish boss, and on the other hand, the difficulty comes from the protagonist of this deal, Da Yao. Judging from at least a few contacts and character cards, Da Yao is a person who is "nostalgic" and relatively sensitive to "human feelings......

Able to satisfy both the appetite of Team Rocket. and reassure his fellow countryman, so that he can return to his adaptation and confidence in Houston as quickly as possible, which is the purpose of Jiang Qi's trip, especially the latter point, the rookie director needs to make Da Yao feel that he does not owe the rocket, which is particularly crucial.

Sure enough, seeing the little giant again, there was a loneliness hidden under Da Yao's smile, although Alexander did not use words and phrases such as sighs and regrets, the players who were the subject of the transaction would inevitably have a feeling of "I am a commodity".

Jiang Qi sighed secretly, the rules in this alliance are really still a little far from the habits of the Celestial Empire, but this is also better than the big Yao who worked hard for a few years and couldn't see the slightest hope, and now he can only hypnotize himself like this.

After a few simple greetings, Lao Jiang changed his words, "Alexander shouldn't have said a lot of bad things about me these days, right?" ”

His tone was a little ridiculous, but it made Da Yao on the other side stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "I'm going to Atlanta next season?" ”

The rookie director nodded, "You have to forgive me for not talking to you in advance, because I didn't know if this transfer would be successful before yesterday, and you also know that I have been busy in Europe for a while now, and the person who contacted Alexander was Teresa, and I know that this news may be later than you." ”

Lao Jiang's words also showed a little helplessness, it is true that he did not have much hope in the operation of this matter, and Teresa's energy was so powerful that he was also very surprised.

Da Yao pondered for a long time before turning all the silence into three simple words, "Why?" ”

"The team's uniform and coaching staff are looking for Atalanta's interior core from all the big men in the league." , Jiang Qi spread his hands and said: "They finally feel that you are the most suitable candidate for this team, so Teresa will tempt him to release him with conditions that Alexander can't refuse." ”

For these behind-the-scenes transactions, Jiang Qi also considered how much to reveal to Da Yao, because Teresa did use chips outside the league to impress Alexander, and these chips did match Da Yao's own commercial value in terms of valuation. Lao Jiang also guessed that Alexander would definitely put the responsibility of the transaction on the Hawks, but revealing too much would also put Da Yao on his back while scoring emotional points, so this scale is not easy to grasp.

"You have to know that Uncle Tom has always been obsessed with you, and he has always felt that you can be one of the best inside players in the league in the future!"

Jiang Qi stood up, "So, I now welcome you on behalf of all the members of the Eagles!" ”

This gesture represents Lao Jiang's signal to Da Yao that the deal has been completed, as for the regret and guilt that he may have in his heart, it will dissipate at the moment when the transaction chips are exposed, since Da Yao worked hard to let the Shanghai team win the CBA championship before leaving, he naturally hopes that the Rockets will still have the strength to impact the championship after he leaves, and just before this meeting, Jiang Qi also left enough chips for the Rockets at the negotiating table.

Because, in this transaction, Jiang Qi not only sent the second-potential interior rookie Al who is only ranked after Howard in evaluation this season? Jefferson, the point guard Ralph who is severely strapped due to Sula's injury? Alstom, as well as the Warriors' draft pick that Lao Jiang has in his hand, and he gave Dawson enough hints that he will try his best to make the Warriors' pick the top pick! (To be continued......)
