"Isn't that right? Da Yao, you are only 28 years old now, you are at your peak, how can you play for six or seven years! ”

Listening to Yao Ming's laughter, Lei Lin said with some puzzlement.

"yes, I'm only twenty-eight years old!"

Yao Ming glanced at Lei Lin and said with emotion.

This emotion made Lei Lin feel even more strange, and it sounded a little vicissitudes. What's going on with Da Yao today? Although he had doubts, Lei Lin didn't ask directly, and the two continued to walk along the road back to the hotel.

There are still many shops with their doors open along the way, and the bright lights, colorful neon lights and whizzing cars show the bustle of the city at night. Occasionally, passers-by just stopped by them and didn't bother Yao Ming and Lei Lin, who either didn't know each other, or felt that it was impossible.

"By the way, Leylin, do you have any goals?"

When he walked to a park near the hotel, Yao Ming sat directly on a bench on the side of the road and motioned for Lei Lin to sit down as well.

"Target?"

Sitting next to Yao Ming, Lei Lin muttered.

"Of course, the goal now is to be in the 12-man squad of the national team!"

Lei Lin's words made Yao Ming laugh.

"Is there something wrong?"

Listening to Yao Ming's laughter, Lei Lin frowned.

"No, very direct, very pragmatic goals!"

For Lei Lin's goal, Yao Ming affirmed.

"Because goals are based on the individual's growth at different times and in different situations. The 12-man squad for the Olympics has not been decided for a day, and you have to work hard for it! Although your level meets the requirements of the national team, under such a goal, he will still push you to work hard and struggle! When I was the same age as you, I also had my own goal, which was to catch up with Wang Zhizhi. It is the existence of this goal. Again and again, I was urged to train and grow. ”

"When I felt that I had the strength to compete with Wang Zhizhi, another world appeared in front of us, so I followed the general pace and longed for the NBA! But before the NBA, my goals, I think you should know! ”

"Of course I do! CBA Championship! ”

In the movie Yao Mingnei released in 05, it clearly recorded what happened before and after Yao Ming entered the NBA draft, as well as Yao Ming's growth into a superstar.

This film, Lei Lin watched it several times. Of course, I know that Yao Ming's goal before entering the NBA is to leave a CBA championship for the Shanghai Sharks.

"Uh-huh! I did it! After entering the NBA, I realized how small we were, as a top pick, I was always watched by a lot of eyes, and my goal at that time was to adapt quickly to the NBA and play at the level that a top pick should have, for which sweat soaked my training clothes again and again. Now, six seasons later, I'm a superstar. But I don't have a single honor to deserve it! So, I also wanted to taste the NBA championship before I retired, and this goal has always pushed me to train hard. ”

"I also want to have a championship ring on my finger!"

Speaking of the NBA, Raelin's biggest dream is to wear a championship ring on his finger. If you can, put one on each finger of both hands, it will be even more refreshing.

"So you have to work hard, you have to keep improving yourself!"

"Of course! I'm going to win a championship with my own hands! ”

Leylin clenched his fists. Said loudly there.

"Then stay in Houston and let's go fight for the championship ring together!"

"Forehead ......"

Lei Lin didn't expect Yao Ming to tell him such a big deal, and he actually worked as a lobbyist for Team Rocket.

"I know the team is a bit harsh on you in terms of wages. But don't forget, you're only a nineteen-year-old teenager, you shouldn't be burdened by money now, your ultimate goal now is to improve your skills! ”

"But ......"

Although Yao Ming didn't understand everything Lei Lin said, he also knew that at this stage, what he should do was to improve his level.

But to improve your level, not only in the training hall on the training ground, that is just equivalent to talking on paper, but more importantly, to test the results of your training on the field, and then continue to improve yourself in practice.

But with the Rockets, will you be able to get enough playing time?

A healthy Yao Ming, an old and strong Uncle Mu, a mature and witty Hayes, a promising bird Landry, and Joey Dorsey, a defensive player who was praised by Morey as the best defensive player from the Trail Blazers in this year's draft, the Rockets' interior line is already a little crowded.

It's hard to imagine being able to get plenty of playing time in a team so crowded on the inside.

"Worried about playing time?"

Yao Ming seemed to understand Lei Lin's concerns.

"You don't have to worry about playing time! In the center position, Uncle Mu is old, retirement is a matter of time, his current existence is only occasionally on the field to help, as for Landry, I think Adelman prefers to put him in the position of power forward, as a substitute for Scola, as for Joy Dorsey, are you still afraid of a rookie? And I'm ......"

When he said this, Yao Ming paused, and then said it with relief.

"I've been overwhelmed by the overload of my ankles, and if I want to continue my career, then I'll have to cut down on the playing time and lose my weight!"

"What?"

Lei Lin looked at Yao Ming with some surprise.

When he first entered the NBA, Yao Ming was emaciated, and although he was very dexterous under the basket, it was not enough to achieve higher achievements in the muscular league! Therefore, Yao Ming continued to increase his weight, improve his skills, and increase his deterrence and attack power under the basket, but he did not expect that there would be such a potential hidden danger.

"Hehe, don't be so surprised! The career of a basketball player is so short, and I have been playing professional basketball for eleven years. So in the new season, I'm definitely going to cut down on my playing time so that your playing time is fully guaranteed. You've done really well this year, and Tracy and you have taken the team to the second round and I think next season we'll be able to go even further and even win the championship." ”

When he said this, Yao Ming was ambitious, reflecting the momentum that a champion should have.

"It's just that if I add one, will I be able to win the championship?"

Glancing at Yao Ming, Lei Lin had a question in his heart.

"Not yet, so you have to grow up as soon as possible. In no more than two seasons, we will be able to challenge for the championship. If you're willing to stay with the Rockets, I think they'll be happy to bring Hakim back. I heard that you and Hakim have already talked? ”

"Yes! It's just that at the moment I'm strengthening my training in the basics. ”

Leylin frowned.

Even if they have grown up in two seasons, will the Rockets be able to maintain the integrity of their current roster? Can Maddie and Yao Ming still maintain a healthy physical condition? There is a more important link, that is, does the old man Alexander, have the ambition and preparation to attack the championship?

Don't you see, every year Alexander shouts the slogan of attacking the championship?

But apart from Maddie, Battier, and Scola, what else is there to do?

Don't you see, every summer, Morey is there to say that he wants to find a replacement for Yao Ming?

But apart from the aging Uncle Mu, who else can provide support under the basket after Yao Ming leaves the court?

From all the signs of the Rockets' operation, they have no determination to challenge for the championship. Lei Lin didn't know if this was Yao Ming's personal wishes, or if Team Rocket was already preparing. It's July, and if you're prepared, the news that is flooding the ground right now should be news about a Rockets trade; If so, if he was sitting in front of Lei Lin now, it shouldn't be Yao Ming, but Morey or Adelman.

Therefore, Yao Ming's so-called impact championship is still full of hidden dangers. And this hidden danger can not only be the collapse of the Rockets' current roster, but also the possibility of directly sending the Rockets into the rebuilding orbit ahead of schedule...... (To be continued......)
