NBA, Yao Ming is back!

CBA farewell dinner.

This time it's an internal meeting without a leader.

Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, Batel, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Yudong, Li Lan, Zhang Jingsong...

Basically, any domestic player you can think of.

All the best stuff is here.

This includes coaches like Faye Wong and Li Qiuping.

"You're amazing, kid. You're not even 17 yet. You'll be 17 when the new season starts. 17 years old, 17 years old. You've really caught a good time."

Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, and others sighed with emotion, after all, they didn't receive such good treatment back then.

"You flatter me, everyone. Actually, everyone has the opportunity to play in the NBA."

That's the truth; he's definitely capable of being a substitute.

It's just that, due to the circumstances and conditions at the time, they didn't have the opportunity to go to the NBA.

Now that I'm too old, it's not appropriate for me to go anymore, so I might as well stay in China and finish my life here.

Therefore, they are genuinely envious of Yao Ming for being able to enter the highest level of basketball at such a young age.

"Be careful when you go there. I've heard that the people there are all quite ruthless, so you must protect yourself."

"Yeah, but don't be too polite to those black guys. If they're riding on your heads, you still have to settle things with your fists."

"Don't be as polite as you are back home, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Listening to these people's words, Liu Wei kept rolling his eyes.

Are you kidding? You're saying it's pretty fierce over there?

You wouldn't believe it, but the most ruthless one in the training camp...

It might be him.

It's still hard to say who's protecting whom.

He won't let himself be taken advantage of.

Since it was time to leave, Yao Ming didn't want to spoil the mood. After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started to be genuinely happy for Yao Ming.

Of course, some people were both happy and somewhat disappointed.

For example, Wang Zhizhi.

I saw Wang Zhizhi looking at the stars alone outside.

Yao Ming certainly knew what he was thinking.

He walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said...

"Please, people our height isn't suited for this kind of artistic pursuit."

Congratulations! Good luck over there!

When Wang Zhizhi saw Yao Ming patting him on the shoulder, he still managed a smile and said, "After all, I'm only a teenager."

He's not even 20 yet.

How much can an 18 or 19-year-old put aside their pride?

After all, he was the one who was most hyped up before, and he might actually be the first person to enter the NBA.

These scouts were also looking at him, weren't they?

Now that the person has suddenly been replaced, the young people are bound to feel a little uneasy.

This is human nature.

The congratulations are genuine, but so are the sorrows.

There is no conflict.

"What? I'm just helping out over there? I'm just scouting ahead for everyone." Yao Ming said nonchalantly with a grin, "Once I've figured out the tactics, you can come over, and we can team up, how about it?"

"Me? I don't even know if I'll have another chance to go." Wang Zhizhi was clearly dejected and somewhat discouraged.

He felt that he couldn't even be the best in China, so going to the NBA might be very difficult.

He didn't know that Yao Ming was originally the one who could have been the top scorer.

It's normal that you can't beat him, but that doesn't mean you can't play in the NBA.

Moreover, the Bayi team didn't let Wang Zhizhi go before because no one had logged into the NBA. In fact, when they learned that Yao Ming was going to the NBA, they immediately let him go.

This life will probably be about the same.

"Of course you can go. Trust me, practice your three-pointers more. In the NBA, we're not at an advantage in physical battles right now."

"Then I'll recommend you to a few training camps and participate in some tryouts. That should be great."

"Don't delay, the sooner the better."

This is true. The earlier you develop your skills, the stronger your potential and the greater your versatility. If you stay in China, even if you keep playing, it will be difficult to improve further once you reach a certain limit.

"Seriously, do you really think I... can play in the NBA?"

Wang Zhizhi looked at Yao Ming seriously. After all, Yao Ming was already confirmed to play in the NBA, so his evaluation was very important.

"I think you can definitely do it. Even if you're not as good as me, it doesn't matter. I beat Jordan, didn't I?"

Wang Zhizhi was taken aback, but he didn't expect Yao Ming to be so flamboyant.

But upon hearing such praise, he couldn't help but laugh: "If you really think I can do it, I'll definitely give it a try, but three-pointers..."

"Practice! You absolutely must practice! This will at least guarantee you a place in the NBA! You must utilize your strengths; we don't have much of an advantage against those big, black players!"

And with such a great three-point shot... don't waste it. There are too many tanky big men in the NBA. Find your own path, be unique, and you'll be more likely to stay and get playing time.

Yao Ming might have been drinking and bringing his past life into the picture, otherwise, even Wang Zhizhi would find his current physique...

You're probably no worse than those black guys.

If Liu Wei heard this, he would definitely say:

You guessed right.

All the black guys turned into black brothers in front of him.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Seeing Yao Ming say that gave Wang Zhizhi more confidence and a clearer direction for his efforts.

When two men have had a few drinks, they tend to show their true feelings. That's why they say, "A couple of drinks and feelings develop."

Sometimes that's the reason.

In this atmosphere, it's quite easy to foster closer fraternal bonds within the socialist community.

"Yes, Dazhi, hurry up and dominate the league, then come to the new NBA."

"I'll be waiting for you over there."

When Wang Zhizhi saw that Yao Ming was a guy who was about to enter the NBA, and that he was so sincere towards him, he also became a little emotional, and his eyes reddened.

She even felt a little flushed because of her previous jealousy of Yao Ming.

Their conversation was overheard by Batel, who was about to sneak out to use the restroom.

The bus driver thought to himself: "Great, so everyone wants to go to the NBA, right?"

I want to go too!

Don't even think about leaving me out!

Back at the table, everyone was quite drunk. Yao Ming was leaving the day after tomorrow when he suddenly remembered something. He pulled Li Qiuping, who was also flushed from drinking, and said:

"Coach Li, I have something to tell you, don't forget it later."

"Tell me, what's up? I'm listening. Is it about last year when Liu Wei and I picked up my ten yuan and went out to play Street Fighter?"

Yao Ming: ...

"Oh, it's nothing. I deliberately dropped that money on the ground so you two could pick it up."

"We've all been young, it's normal to be a little playful. As long as you don't get addicted, just relax and it's fine."

Yao Ming never expected that the money was deliberately dropped on the ground by Li Qiuping.

These days, just being able to play video games outside the youth training base makes him very happy.

This is also one of the few happy memories he and Liu Wei shared during their training period.

"No, that's not it, Coach Li. I meant to ask you to mentor someone. I think he has a good feel for the ball. Bring him back and train him well; he should be a talent."

"After I leave, let Dawei train with him. If we train a great shark, he'll be a hero again."

Oh?

Li Qiuping listened, but didn't really take it to heart. Although he would do what Yao Ming said, he felt it was good to do him a favor when he heard that Yao Ming was just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

After all, if Yao Ming becomes successful in the future, his favors will be very valuable.

It is the beginning of something great.

The more precious it is.

"Okay, I'll have Liu Wei train him then."

Liu Wei is a friend whom Yao Ming has personally mentored for several years. The two have always had a good relationship. Yao Ming also shared his NBA training methods and techniques with Liu Wei, which helped him build a more solid foundation and improve his ball handling and potential.

Moreover, since he's leaving, he'll definitely need to leave behind someone who understands these things, and some people will need someone to guide them.

Especially for developing ball feel and building a foundation.

Adolescence is extremely important.

Liu Wei is, in hindsight, the most suitable candidate.

Furthermore, he was saying that he was leaving, and he really wanted to leave some "legacy" for the Great White Shark.

Otherwise, the Great White Shark would probably have a hard time making a comeback.

"Okay, I've got your word in mind. I'll send someone to look for it."

"What's his name?"

Li Qiuping asked, her tongue slightly tied.

Yi Jianlian.

"They should call him A-Lian over there."

"Hmm, Ah Lian, right? That sounds like a girl's name, doesn't it? Okay, I'll remember that." Li Qiuping finished speaking and looked at Yao Ming, saying with deep emotion, "You're a genius. I know I can't teach you much, so I wish you all the best..."

"Soaring like an eagle in the American sky."

"He'll be unbeatable in the NBA."

Yao Ming chuckled. He knew it was just a well-intentioned blessing, and the other person didn't really think they could do it.

But this lifetime.

perhaps.

Yes, you can.

He gazed at the eastern night sky.

He murmured to himself.
