One Guard

After watching the news about 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 coming soon. What is the attitude of Yiyang.

And Yao Ming's answer to the Basketball Association was sincere enough: "I haven't received any answer so far."

"I originally wanted to wait until the playoffs were over before talking to him about it, but the Mavericks reached the finals all the way, and just ended the championship parade yesterday. This kind of thing, I can't force others."

"Hey, it's best to solve it as soon as possible. This year we are under a lot of pressure. If we can't win the championship, it will be difficult to explain to the fans." The Basketball Association knows that Yao Ming is concerned about Chinese basketball, so he will definitely try his best to convince. Yiyang.

"Well, I will contact him again and wait for my reply."

"We are all waiting for your good news, Dayao."

After a few more greetings, Yao Ming hung up. He sighed first, then looked out the window again. Is Chinese basketball now only supported by players from the American system?

Not long after hanging up, the phone in Yao Ming's hand vibrated again. This time, Yao Ming was a little surprised by the name of the caller-Bill Duffy.

"What's wrong, buddy, don't you forget that I have retired." Yao Ming joked affectionately when he saw his former manager call.

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

"Okay, let's talk about business, old man, what are you going to do with me this time?"

"Yihe China National Team, these days, you should be struggling with this matter."

When Yao Ming heard it, he instantly understood. Of course he knew that Bill Duffy was Yiyang's manager, but he did not expect that Duffy would also intervene when Yiyang joined the national team. After all, Yao Ming used to decide whether to play a national team game. To be precise, Yao Ming would never miss a national team game. Bill Duffy has never given any intervention in this regard. Now, everything is different. Yiyang is not himself, and he cannot force Yiyang.

"So, did you also tell you to contact me?"

"I just finished talking with him, I'm sorry Yao, I'm afraid 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. Did the plan to recruit Yiyang ultimately fail?

"It doesn't matter, tell him to continue playing well in the NBA. The national team, it all depends on the individual."

"No, I think you misunderstood, Yao. I apologize because I can't visit you in Shanghai anymore, because he will fly directly to Wuhan to participate in this year's Asian Championships!"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Yao Ming was taken aback. After going around, it turned out that I was still caught by Duffy's "joke".

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

"Of course, he will agree. He is a Chinese player, Yao, of course he will agree."

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

"No, 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 about helping the Chinese team recruit a strong supporter. Endless. The feeling of this guy for the national team far exceeds that of any star. And this is what Duffy thinks Yao Ming is most different from others.

When there is no retirement, Yao Ming is the absolute core of the Chinese team on the court. After retiring, Yao Ming is still using his way to help the Chinese team. How much do you love your country, Yao?

"I will tell the Chinese Basketball Association the good news now. Thank you Duffy. Let's watch our performance at the Asian Championships this year!"

"Don't thank me, this is also a personal decision. I just analyzed the situation for him without any persuasion. If you can really win this year, thank you for that super rookie! The fans in your country should also take a look. , How does that guy dominate the court!"

"Don't worry, I believe Yiyang will definitely be popular in China. Okay, I have to tell the Basketball Association this important news. I have time to come to Shanghai, I will treat you well!"

After hanging up the phone, Yao Ming held the phone tightly and waved his arm. At this moment, his is like a team manager who has completed a huge deal. The feeling that the winners are in hand makes Yao Ming a little bit unable to wait to see the Asian Championships coming soon.

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

"How is it?" Seeing Bill Duffy hung up the phone, Yiyang asked with some expectation.

"What else? The guy Yao almost got out of the phone and kissed me! Don't worry, you can kill all sides in the Asian arena. You don't need to think about it, get the championship and personal honor, and then take them Just bring them back! So, next..." Bill Duffy said, paused, and took out his tablet.

"After solving the problem of the national team, we have to start further arranging the holiday plan. Do you have any ideas for yourself?" Duffy called up the calendar and was about to start making notes on it.

"Plan...I have to take my mother to play around. I also promised Vignali that I will go to Italy for a few days. Then..." Yiyang stared at the ceiling, as if Is thinking very seriously.

"Then, I hope to start training! I heard that there are many 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 team, Bill Duffy has no less dealings with these trainers.

"That's good, I hope to find a more comprehensive trainer, so that I can get all-round improvement!"

Seeing Yiyang's expectant gaze, Duffy continued to wait, waiting for Yiyang to tell her next step. But after waiting for a long time, Yiyang did not say anything.

"Nothing?" Duffy opened his arms.

"Travel and training..." Yiyang thought for a while, then nodded vigorously. "Gone!"

"Damn, you're really wasting your vacation, kid. Well, since you only have these two requirements, it's easy to arrange it. Travel, when will you leave?" Duffy drew out the pairing with the tablet. Bluetooth keyboard, start arranging the itinerary on the calendar.

"After Dirk's birthday on June 19th, I won't leave Dallas until that day."

"Then let's start counting from June 21st. The travel time can continue until the end of July. What about after that? Put into training immediately?"

"Yes, go to training now!"

"So 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 will return to China to play in the Asian Championships. From the end of September to mid-October?" Duffy raised his head again. , Asked Yiyang’s opinion.

"Continue training!" Yiyang replied decisively.

"You crazy man, have you forgotten that you still have a bunch of business activities to participate in? From the end of September to mid-October, I will guarantee you basic training every day. But during this time, your main task is to start each All kinds of business activities. If possible, I even want to arrange a trip to China for you. This plan, I will talk to Adidas slowly!" When it comes to business activities, Duffy finally showed a little smile on his face. Playing basketball is Yiyang's business. Duffy's profession is to make money!

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

"One more thing, at present, the NBA's labor-management negotiations are not optimistic. If there is a lockout, we have to be prepared. At that time, will you be willing to accept contract invitations from other countries' leagues?"

"What do you think?" Yiyang certainly has no idea about the suspension. Although this labor-management negotiation is related to the vital interests of Yiyang and their players, Yiyang has never paid attention to it. This season, he put all his attention on the championship.

"If you want to make money, of course you have to go. As long as you want, your country's CBA league will definitely provide you with an expensive offer, and the European league is also meaningful. But if you want to really improve yourself, then you should follow The personal trainer is good. The low-level league is not very meaningful to you." Duffy knows that Yiyang is a player who cares about "money", which is very similar to Jennings. This kind of rookie coming out of the slum ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ generally will not reject the invitation of "money".

But Yiyang's answer went beyond Duffy's expectation.

"Then if a lockout really occurs, I'll still follow the trainer to train. Since you also said that other leagues have little meaning for me to improve, then I don't have to go." Yiyang waved his hand, as if it was for him. It's not a choice at all.

"Don't worry if you can't get the money during that time?"

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

"You are different, also." Duffy pressed the enter key and finalized the general plan for the Yiyang holiday.

If you ask Duffy before the draft, whether his Jennings and Yiyang have greater future achievements, Duffy may not be able to answer you.

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

One summer later, this super rookie who has already shocked the world will surely shock the league again!
