NBA, Yao Ming is back!

Yao Ming leads his team to victory in the Summer League!

Even the second overall pick can beat the first overall pick!

There are, of course, many reports about Yao Ming in China.

His outstanding performance undoubtedly stirred up the hearts of those in China who aspire to play in the NBA in the future.

Although they knew they were not as good as Yao Ming, the fact that Yao Ming could perform like this in the NBA meant that the NBA's intensity might not be as high as they imagined.

This is very important for building self-confidence.

However, there isn't much coverage of this overseas, because nobody is paying attention to the Summer League right now; whether a team performs well or poorly is all data from lower-level leagues.

It's purely for training troops.

To gain attention, you still need to prove yourself on the NBA regular season court.

Whether it can emit light.

There's still plenty of time left.

The training camp won't start until October.

Yao Ming felt he needed to work harder.

If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it.

The eldest needs to work even harder.

Although he has entered the NBA, there are still many skills he needs to hone. He will be 17 years old soon, and his body still has a lot of potential. He absolutely cannot let this time go to waste.

It's a pity.

If only we could get Kobe to come practice with us. With that obsessive guy around, things would definitely be twice as effective.

Of course, Kobe, who is still wearing number 8, probably isn't in the mood right now, after throwing air balls like crazy against the Jazz in the playoffs.

He's very restless right now, and he doesn't like anyone.

It'll explode at the slightest touch.

Moreover, Los Angeles and Philadelphia are about 4000 kilometers apart.

That's a quarter of the distance Tang Sanzang traveled on his journey to the Western Paradise.

Forget it.

I need to find a suitable person to help me practice.

Hakeem Olajuwon is still playing basketball, and he hasn't started any training classes.

I didn't even have a chance to look for him.

Oh, how distressing!

I have money but nowhere to spend it.

Yes, right, I can look for...

Yes, how could you forget that I'm still the boss?

It's all the ball's fault.

It's so captivating.

Thinking about this...

Yao Ming picked up the phone and dialed Pelinka's number. Pelinka was currently preparing to go to the Golden Club tonight to pick up girls after negotiating several big commercial contracts and taking a cut of the commission. Well, he was going to turn lead into gold.

What? Does the Gold Club sell gold?

Ok……

Good lad, you've got ideas.

That place is indeed full of "beautiful women" and "golden houses".

Pelinka was preparing to play with both hands.

I was having a great time when I saw the phone. Oh dear, I had to stop playing with my hands. There was nothing I could do; this was my boss now.

Yao Ming's commercial value is only just beginning to emerge.

He only realized it when he followed.

Just how much hidden business potential does this small business owner possess?

I've earned a lot of commission by following this rookie number 11 for such a short time.

This is no worse than following some top-tier stars.

I may not be able to compare with superstars yet, but I'm still a newcomer, and I'm already very satisfied.

In addition, there are his spending habits and the level of self-discipline that Easterners have for themselves.

Pelinka became even more determined to follow him.

Under normal circumstances, he should be able to play for many years.

They won't go bankrupt.

It won't go bankrupt, and it can make money.

So what difference does it make who you hang out with?

For agents, choosing the right athlete is like choosing a long-term meal ticket.

Pelinka's judgment in this regard has never been wrong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to join the Lakers' management team in the future.

For Pelinka, anything goes as long as it makes money. You could make him say Jesus was the brother of some Easterner!

"Hey, Rob, what are you doing?"

"Oh, oh, I'm preparing to discuss the contract, S—"

"What the hell are you doing? The air conditioning is way too strong!"

Just as Yao Ming was about to show concern for his subordinate—after all, they were successors nurtured by socialism, weren't they?—Pelinka simply took a deep breath and continued, "No, no, I just had a cramp down there. Yes, a cramp. Boss, what can I do for you?"

"A cramp down there?" Yao Ming was taken aback for a moment, but didn't think much of it. People who didn't need his concern were even more commendable. His workaholic tendencies were at their peak, so he continued to get down to business: "I called you to ask you to help me sign someone."

"That person doesn't have an agent yet."

"You become his agent and sign him to our company."

"Does he not have an agent yet? Is he an undrafted player?"

"No, he's in the NBA. Go and sign him for me."

"No agent in the NBA? That shouldn't be the case. Even starting players should have agents." Pelinka is a professional after all. Although he has only just entered this industry, he has made ample preparations.

This will lay a solid foundation for establishing a strong foothold in this industry in the future.

"He's not a starter; right now he's, well, I'd say a fringe player. Even if he has an agent, I'll snatch him away from him."

ha?

Marginalized individuals?

You don't want me, someone who aspires to be a top agent, to sign a marginalized person?

Is the boss still half asleep?

Pelinka took a look.

Holy crap, it really is only 4 a.m.

But when I think about my boss, he always seems to go to bed very early, and I've never heard him do any nighttime entertainment.

That makes sense now.

If a man doesn't go out at night...

We now live in an era where there isn't much online entertainment.

Then you should go to bed early.

That definitely means going to bed earlier.

Those with girlfriends will go to bed earlier.

Those without girlfriends also go to bed early.

it's the same.

"But it's not cost-effective for us to sign a fringe player, little boss."

"Hey, how could you forget what I said? You should sign him before he becomes a star player."

Yao Ming said in a very serious tone.

"If he's a star player, then signing him would increase his value, wouldn't it?"

"Don't you and I both earn less?"

"Where's your business acumen? Where's your vision for untapped markets? This is how it's going to be done. If you can't handle it, then I'll give the rest of the business contracts to someone else."

"Waiting for your good news."

After saying that, Yao Ming hung up the phone.

Completely ignoring Pelinka, he stood there looking utterly bewildered.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he checked his phone book and dialed another number.

Although it was also past 4 a.m., he was sure they were still awake over there.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was made...

The call was connected very quickly.

A variety of noisy hip-hop music.

It's coming from the other end of the phone to my ears.

Yao Ming subtly turned down the volume on his Motorola phone, then spoke:

"Alan, are you there?"

Yao Ming called out several times before there was a response on the other end of the phone. He clearly heard Iverson and several girls saying "sorry, sorry."

It took him a while to answer the phone.

"Yao, congratulations on winning the Summer League championship. But why are you calling? It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

Yao Ming: You're the one who hasn't slept yet; I just woke up.

And it's been a week since I won this championship, and you only just remembered to tell me?

Your reaction time is a bit slow.

However, Yao Ming didn't want to waste time explaining this, and immediately said:

"Alan, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead, but I'm very busy right now, so you'll have to get to the point."

Yes Yes Yes.

Whether it's agents or players in the NBA, they're all quite busy at 4 a.m. during the offseason.

"Hey, are you free this summer? Let's practice some ball together."

"Huh, practice? What kind of practice?" Iverson had never heard such a thing in his entire life since he entered the league.

It's not that he doesn't train, but rather that this is a common problem among American players: they can't train during summer vacation because training is a work-related activity and should be done during work hours.

"A basketball, what other ball could it be? Do you want to...?"

"Oh, a basketball? I didn't know what kind of ball it was."

"I won't practice basketball anymore. Good luck to you."

When Iverson heard it was about practicing basketball, he immediately refused.

There was absolutely no room for maneuver.

Yao Ming: Oh my god, can you be a little more professional? You're a basketball player too!

If you don't practice basketball, what kind of ball are you going to practice?

Okay, Yao Ming suddenly realized that the kind of ball Iverson practiced was probably a different thing from the ball he was talking about.

But I really need this guy right now.

If you don't come, who will help me gain experience?

These past few months, I've needed a tool.

Not one of them can be missing.

Suddenly, Yao Ming had a good idea.

Since you enjoy practicing ball so much...

It's not that I can't help you.

Well known.

Men help men.

The ball.

It has always been a good communication tool.

"Alan, let me tell you, it's such a shame you didn't come. I have some..."

Iverson was still thinking to himself, "Why are you calling me so late at night just to ask me to practice?"

And he was playing basketball.

I'm talking to my brother Dongfang.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

In the summer.

There's no logic in practicing basketball like that.

You still don't understand Emilia, and you still don't understand the NBA.

Just as I was thinking that I would find some excuse to hang up the phone later, the party wasn't over yet, and I still had to have fun.

Yao Ming's next sentence made Iverson's eyes, which were originally darting around, suddenly turn away.

She became kind and pure.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

"Yao, are you telling the truth?"

"You can't lie to people like that."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ming realized it was indeed effective; it seemed that the gossip he occasionally read was actually quite useful.

You never know when the dots you accidentally draw will connect to form a line.

"A man never lies to another man."

"But if you don't want to practice, then that's a shame. I thought you would definitely enjoy practicing."

"no……"

Iverson:

Stop being so dense, get moving!

Allen felt his brain hadn't been working this fast this summer.

"Yao, what I mean is, it's not convenient for me to practice basketball here."

"If it's convenient for you, I can practice at your place, that's not a problem."

"You know me, that's the kind of person I am."

"I love training balls the most."

"Yeah, I love practicing basketball the most."

Have you seen "Philadelphia at 4 a.m."? I watch it all the time.

Yao Ming: Oh right, right, but your 4 a.m. Philadelphia and my 4 a.m. Philadelphia are not the same thing.

"Okay, let's make a date. Come to the training hall I rent next Monday and practice together."

"The ball in a basketball."

Yao Ming specifically emphasized this, lest this guy not see the game as a game.

"Don't worry, absolutely no problem. Monday, right? That'll give me time to get ready."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't embarrass you."

After saying that, the two men happily ended their 4 a.m. phone call.

This made Iverson's group of cronies particularly curious.

Who called you at 4 a.m.?

When Iverson was mentioned as Yao Ming, everyone was initially disappointed, but at the same time, many doubts arose.

It seems like last night.

He was probably on the phone with this guy named Yao.

"Alan, we have events next week, our schedule is completely full, how can you not come?"

"Hey, you guys can play by yourselves. I have serious business to attend to; I need to practice."

"Whose ball are you practicing?"

"Of course it's... cough cough, basketball, after all, I'm a professional basketball player."

"You were never a basketball player during summer vacation."

"And you went to practice basketball with a man, Allen, I'm not Sister Li."

These cronies really don't give me any face. Iverson blushed slightly and said sternly:

"You don't understand."

"He's different."

Is he different?

Why is it different again?

This has happened twice already.

He is not……

That Asian man must have taken something crucial from me.

Iverson didn't care what they thought.

Compared to that Easterner, these people really don't understand their own hearts.

As I was thinking about it, the balls around me started to look boring, so I got up and went inside.

She looked at her dreadlocks, which were gradually taking shape.

Having already undergone a complete haircut at Yao Ming's suggestion, Iverson snapped his fingers and looked in the mirror, saying...

"Wow, so handsome."

P.S.: I saw everyone's hard work, I'm so touched, sob sob~ Actually, I just tried my best, the editor said I'd give it a shot if there was a chance.

Give it your all.

As long as there are no regrets, that's fine, right everyone?

The same applies, please continue reading and vote!

Let's give it a shot this week with Yao Ming! We need you! Your punch is crucial! QAQ
