Hayes went to the mall alone and bought a lot of things.

In the evening, he takes on the biggest challenge since his rebirth.

He's going to face James? Howard? Bryant?

Of course not, although the above people are powerful, they will not make him feel afraid.

What scared him was - to meet the "family" in the new villa.

The last time Hayes and Taylor Swift looked at the villa together, his father, Charles, was satisfied. After paying the down payment, the Hayes family moved to Houston yesterday.

He used to stay in Houston on the grounds of practice, but now that his family has gone to Houston, it would be unreasonable to go home often in the same city.

Compared to the past, his surname has changed drastically. He was afraid of revealing some flaws and disappointing his family. I just hope I don't talk too much about the topic of his childhood, those memories are too vague.

His parents also informed him that they wanted him to bring Taylor Swift home with him.

Hayes's mother, Tracy, gave birth to him at the age of 18, and the courageous mother didn't see anything wrong with Taylor at 17. (......� Why does his mother's name look so much like Maddie? What's this? His father still has the same name as Barkley...... Obviously, this is the reason why Hai Ye is so strong. ）

The scandal outside is very bad, and the family thinks that Hayes has found a celebrity girlfriend, but in fact, the two are not so good. Taylor has a job to go out to participate in activities, avoiding the embarrassment of his parents and daughter-in-law.

Even if Taylor was free and willing to go, Hayes didn't want to take her home. He himself was very nervous to meet his family, it was purely confusing.

What should come always comes, can't always run away, it's okay...... Hayes washed his face and looked in the mirror.

It's no wonder that it's okay, the family members who have lived together for so many years must be able to see the flaws, right? Especially my younger brother with autism...... Headache. In case the family is suspicious, they say that they were beaten by O'Neill, and they can't remember a lot of things? Yes, damn O'Neill.

Hayes figured out what to do, put a lot of gifts for his family in the car, and prepared to go.

It's too grand to do this. However, only by doing so can he feel more comfortable.

He always had some guilt in his heart about these family members, and although he maintained the image and memory of Hayes's past, the new personality prevailed, and he always felt as if he owed someone a son.

He drove an old Chevrolet sedan, desperately remembering the way he used to speak, all the way to the villa.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the new villa.

"It's finally here, be calm! Calm! This is your home, you have to be natural, you just have to ...... A chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and a case of wine in his hand, I often go home to see, go home to see, no problem. Hayes stood in the doorway, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell. Does this sound like a calm one?

When the doorbell rang, Hayes's mood became excited.

"Who?" A female voice came from the gatekeeper.

"It's me, Chuck." Hayes laughed. He guessed that the voice might have been his sister. I don't know if this stiff tone is appropriate to speak.

The door opened. Hayes found it pitch black inside.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Hayes asked curiously.

That's when the lights came on.

“surprise！” The hall was full of people, of all colors, shouting together.

Hayes put the wine down and stood in the doorway, dumbfounded.

What is this celebrating? Is it my life today? What month and day did I come when I was born?

"Hello, Chuck Hayes. Played well in the last game. I'm your neighbor James Green, can you sign me in a moment? A skinny white man shook hands with Hayes and said.

"Absolutely. Hehe, I have a question, I didn't say it today, right? Hayes smiled wryly.

"Haha, you're so interesting." James Bond still held Hayes' hand and smiled.

"I ...... Let's go talk to my dad first. Excuse me. Hayes awkwardly withdrew his hand, walked up to his father Charles Sr., and asked, "Dad, is this the case, so many people are in the family?" What is this celebrating? ”

Charles was in a good mood and said to Hayes with a smile: "These are our neighbors. The fact that you and Taylor came to see the house was in the newspapers, and everyone knew we were moving in. Yesterday we came, the neighbors came to say hello, they were very welcoming, I discussed it with your mother, and decided to have a family party for everyone to come and celebrate your first triple. Son, you are so great, they all call you a hero now...... What about Taylor? Why didn't she come? ”

"Huh...... She's got something about it, at work. We're really just friends, it's too much of an exaggeration on the news. "Hayes was a little dizzy, the Americans were so enthusiastic.

"Why can't you see me?" A familiar voice said.

I saw a giant standing on the sofa next to him, and it turned out that Yao Ming and his parents were also here. Hayes was so excited just now that his field of vision narrowed severely.

"Haha, Brother Ming is also here, as well as uncles and aunts, welcome, welcome, it turns out that I am alone in the dark. No wonder you want me to come back in the evening. Hayes laughed. There are many people today, but he feels much more relaxed. In this way, you don't have to worry about being seen by your family.

"Brother." A small black man walked up to Hayes and shouted kindly, his eyes glinting.

"Hi. Toba, it's been a long time, how are you doing? Hayes immediately gave his "brother" a warm hug.

His "younger brother" froze on the spot.

"Brother, don't make a fuss. Toba can't transfer to another school, and he's still in high school in Modesto. A black girl who looked like Hayes was somewhat convinced.

"So...... Rise? Hayes asked. He knew that the person who was talking now was his sister Jessica. So who is he hugging?

"This is my boyfriend Harry, and we're getting married, so I brought him here." Jessica said.

"First meeting, brother. You are my idol! Harry said.

Hayes almost threw him out.

I'll go! Your kid is sick, the first time you met was called so affectionate? Why do black people look the same? What does this make me admit?

This is a visual problem, and in the eyes of foreigners, most Chinese people also look the same.

Hayes was thinking about what holes he still had, when a tall, fat woman with pigtails and a Spreville-like hairstyle walked up to him, took him in her arms, kissed him on the cheek, and smiled, "Chuck." My great son has become strong. ”

Hayes kept blinking and smiled, "Mom...... Oh ho ho ...... It was such a pleasure to meet you. ”

God, it's so hard to strangle me, it's logical that this tonnage should be O'Neill's mother, right? It's so big between the teeth, it's like losing a tooth...... Auntie, how many melon seeds do you usually eat to become like this? You're actually the Guinness World Record holder for eating melon seeds, right? Hayes was vomiting in his heart and almost vomiting out his lungs, and he had to pretend to be very happy on the surface.

Hayes chatted with his mother, Tracy, for a while, and his heart gradually calmed down. Women are ugly and handsome, but the hearts that love their sons are the same.

Hayes made a few polite remarks to the guests, like a good meal, drink, and fun, and then, with the gifts, went upstairs alone to find Thaddeus, his autistic brother.

That's what Hayes cares about the most.

He had never spoken to anyone with low self-esteem, and he had no idea how his changes would affect Thaddeus. For this meeting, he pondered Hayes's previous methods countless times, watched "Rain Man" three times (Oscar Best Picture), and found many ways to communicate with autistic people on the Internet.

None of the family had ever found a cure for Thaddeus, because they were poor, and they did not actively take Thaddeus to see any famous doctors when he was young, but only groped to communicate with him, and the best of them was Hayes.

He gently pushed the door open and saw Thaddeus sitting on the bed, his eyes glazed over.

"Hey, I'm here." Hayes asked with a smile, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out the gifts for Thaddeus from the bag he had brought, several toys.

He first took out a car that would run when he pulled it, demonstrated it for a while, and then stuffed it into Thaddeus's hand, but Thaddeus immediately threw it away; Then he took out a bear that opened its mouth when he spoke to it, and Thaddeus did not look at it; Then there's a new version of Transformers 05, and Thaddeus is still not interested.

Hayes couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Hayes in his previous life didn't tell the truth. When the reporter was interviewed, he said that Thaddeus was his best friend, only listened to him, and now he has turned over his past memories, and he has not found any case of Thaddeus being "obedient", which is more serious than the situation of "Rain Man", which is called a good friend? Is it a stranger at all?

Remembering that Thaddeus liked red things, Hayes took out a red balloon, blew it up, and threw it at Thaddeus, who caught it this time and giggled and threw it back to Hayes.

This is a step forward.

Hayes's heart was lifted and he was happier than he had won.

He smiled? It seems that Hayes had never made Thaddeus laugh like this before, did I do better?

After playing with balloons for a while, Hayes pulled out another sparkling bunny toy.

This toy is made in China, as long as the battery is pressed the button, this rabbit can move, rhythmically holding a plastic sickle to make a chic mowing action, quite magical. (Amazing claws)

However, Hayes did not take the rabbit out for the sake of mowing the lawn, Thaddeus liked shiny things, and after dismantling the scythe, he slowly pressed the rabbit against Taotao's throat and took it away when he did not want to.

Hayes often did this before he was reborn, and it is said that pressing his throat with something can make the autistic person feel the sensation of the shaking throat and stimulate him to gradually learn to speak...... He wants to continue his previous work.

Half an hour later, Hayes said goodbye to Thaddeus, left the room, and closed the door. I feel more tired than I played.

He was ready to talk to his parents so that they could find time to take Thaddeus to the best doctor in Houston, and the money didn't have to worry about it. He hopes that his younger brother can properly improve his communication and understanding skills, he is too busy, he has to play, he has to practice, it is impossible to spend too much time on this matter.

After going downstairs, Hayes found Yao Ming. Yao Ming hid in a quiet place - by the toilet.

"Hey, Brother Ming, you came here like this?"

"Calm down for a while, you're not here, the fans are all talking to me, and I'm tired of it." Yao Ming said Chinese and said with a smile.

"Dawson is looking for me today." Hayes also changed his Chinese.

"Are you looking for a contract renewal? I guess it's time for them to make a move, too. Yao Ming smiled: "What do you say?" ”

"He asked me if I could accept the full middle class, and I refused, wanting to wait until the end of the season to see. I've also discussed this with Jeff (Van Gundy). He also advised me to wait until the end of the season. Hayes leaned against the wall and said.

"You seem tired?" Yao Ming laughed.

"A little, my brother has low self-esteem, and in addition to wanting to play well, what I hope most is for him to become a normal person." Hayes said.

"You entered the NBA in the non-draft, and there is no way to do it with a low salary in the past two years. However, by next year, you'll be a full free agent, and you'll have an advantage. If you can maintain your current level, there will definitely be teams that will offer you a big contract to poach you, and when the time comes, are you leaving? Yao Ming smiled bitterly.

"I like it here, I'll try to stay with the Rockets, don't think about it, as long as the team can give me a contract that I'm happy with in the future." Hayes saw his father waving to him not far away, so he smiled at Yao Ming, "I'll go over and talk first." Come to me when you've rested enough. ”

Yao Ming exhaled, a little headache. Hayes is a rare good player, a good teammate, and if he leaves, the Rockets' strength will definitely be greatly damaged. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why didn't Hayes even pick a second-round rookie that year? If it's a second round, there's also the Arenas clause that could restrain him, at least allowing him to play with the Rockets for an extra year.

Hayes entered the NBA in the non-draft and got two years of salary.

The contract signed by NBA players is bound by terms, rookies have rookie contracts, generally the first round of rookies for 4 years, with an annual salary of 1.5 million to 3 million, and the champion can reach more than 5 million, and the second round of rookies for 2 years, with an annual salary ranging from 750,000 to 1.1 million; Non-rookies generally have a basic salary, ranging from 500,000 to 1.1 million, and are generally signed for one year.

When a player's first contract expires, they can sign a second contract. Players can sign contracts for up to six years, while players from other teams can only sign for up to five years. The first round of the second contract is not the same as the second round of players, and generally the first round players will be higher than the second round. Because NBA salaries are incrementally incremental, and first-round players generally have longer contracts in the first round than second-round players, so his starting salary base is high, and the total salary is naturally high.

The "Arenas clause" was the league's last contract for Arenas, as well as Boozer, they were both second-round rookies, but after the two-year contract expired, they chose not to renew the contract with their old club, but jumped out of the contract to ask for a high salary, which hit the interests of the original team hard.

The Arenas clause is for second-round picks who have only signed a two-year rookie contract.

Most of the second-round rookies will only sign a two-year rookie contract with the team that drafted him, so he will only qualify for early Bird after his rookie contract ends, not Bird.

The Early Bird clause provides that a player who has played for all or part of the same team in the past two years (including those who have moved as a result of a team trade) can renew the contract of a player who has been on a free agent for the higher of 175% of the player's final year salary and the league-wide average player salary (i.e., the middle class).

This means that if the parent team's total salary is above the salary cap, the maximum number of mid-level contracts can be offered to the second round of rookies after the end of the two-year rookie contract.

So the problem arises: when other teams offer the player more than the mid-range offer (a restricted free agent after the end of the two-year rookie contract), the parent team will not be able to follow up.

In order to protect the rights and interests of the parent team, there is no longer the tragedy of "the Warriors can only watch Arenas accept the Wizards' offer to go away from the middle class", and the Arenas clause was introduced.

The Arenas clause states that other teams can only offer a lower than mid-level contract for a second-round rookie after a two-year rookie contract. That is, other teams cannot offer such players a higher contract than the parent team's contract.

Rookies who have signed a three-year rookie contract and have Bird qualifications at the end of their contract are not among them.

Hayes, who entered the NBA as a non-draft pick, of course, also has Bird qualifications, and is not among them. Now Hayes has rejected the middle class, which means that the team wants to sign him, only to bleed profusely, and he will definitely have to pay the luxury tax.

At this time, Yao Ming suspected that Hayes would have to leave for a big contract, but he was unwilling to explain it to him now.

If Hayes is gone, Maddie will be injured a lot, and he will be away from the championship for the rest of his life. Yao Ming didn't want Hayes to go, and suddenly had an idea to find time to talk to Maddie.
