"What's wrong, BIG-YAO, you come here alone and come to have breakfast so early in the morning?" Liu Mang joked.

This morning, when Liu Mang was woken up at around seven o'clock, it was Levia who came to wake up Liu Mang and Alexia, who had lifted the quilt and were not covered by any earthly things, because Yao Ming was here.

After getting up, Alexia immediately transformed into a good wife because she had a guest. She promised not to learn Chinese breakfast, but suddenly she learned it. After taking out the fermented noodles that Liu Mang and Hao had sealed with plastic wrap, stirred them well.

, start to bake omelettes and omelettes, make salads, etc...

"..." Yao Ming took a bite of the egg pancake, which tasted like his hometown. Jiaxing and Shanghai are next to each other, and many of the flavors are similar.

"I really came here to have breakfast!" Liu Mang was speechless, and the little loli on the side was speechless. Alexia was continuing to bake pancakes with the noodles Liu Mang had made, and Yao Ming seemed to be able to eat a little.

Yao Ming silently ate a few more egg pancakes and burped while eating. Then he drank a large glass of milk and burped again. The bodyguard on the side immediately handed Yao Ming a tissue.

"..." Liu Mang and Little Loli looked at each other: Did this guy lose the game and bring down our family?

Yao Ming slowed down, looked at Liu Mang and asked seriously: "Ace, I'm here to ask you something."

Seeing how serious Yao Ming was, Liu Mang stopped teasing and nodded.

"How did you get the management to listen to your orders and recruit players?" Yao Ming's tone was filled with confusion and envy.

This is a good question. Liu Mang thought about it for a moment. It was because he had a "vision". Liu Mang thought about it and realized that this is not the most important thing. The most important thing should be that he has the initiative!

If it weren't for his own strength, as well as the tough and willing character of himself and his agent Schwartz, Liu Mang feels that he would not have such a high say in the team.

The most important thing is the initiative brought by strength and character!

Liu Mang felt that his relationship with the coach and his own vision only strengthened his initiative.

Without answering directly, Liu Mang asked: "Dayao, did something happen to you?"

"To tell you the truth," Yao Ming sighed: "After I attended the celebration party in Beijing with you, I returned to Houston. When I found out that Nash and the Mavericks had a falling out, I immediately asked my agent

I approached Alexander and said he wanted to partner with Nash, but he refused and said that a 31-year-old veteran with no defense is not worth tens of millions of annual salary."

"To save money?"

"Yes, my agent said the same thing. The Rockets have never been willing to pay luxury tax." Yao Ming directly stated the question he wanted to find an answer to.

Making Yao Ming more direct and allowing for better communication was the purpose of Liu Mang's drinking. It was the same last time and the effect seemed pretty good. Yao Ming would at least take the initiative to talk to the management about this matter.

It's not that Liu Mang likes to think blindly about others, mainly because he has a really good relationship with Yao Ming. Of course, personal reasons are also very important. Yao Ming's stronger and longer career is very important to Liu Mang, and also

One thing is, there are only a few Chinese people who can play in the NBA, and every one of them can help.

However, upon hearing Yao Ming's direct answer, Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Your general manager is poisonous..."

How brainless is this? Bob Sura is 31 years old and still suffers from serious injuries every year. Isn’t it possible to defend? At least solve the offense! There are Richard Jefferson, Yao Ming, Jim Jackson, and so on.

Only the Rockets can beat the offense so badly.

"poisonous?"

"Can you understand what this means?"

"I can probably understand..."

The previous conversation between Liu Mang and Yao Ming was understood by the three girls who were having breakfast quietly next to them. However, the last paragraph was confusing and showed the breadth and depth of Chinese culture. The three girls were completely confused.

Liu Mang held a moment of silence for Yao Ming, that was Nash!

Even if Nash is not as good at positional warfare as running and gunning, Nash, who plays positional warfare, still has All-Star strength, and because Nowitzki is not good at pick-and-rolls, the Mavericks don't often play pick-and-rolls. Young general Johnson only thinks about five points on offense.

Everyone took turns playing singles, and Nash only performed at an All-Star level.

Nash is not only a master of running and gunning. To put it another way, before he and D'Antoni came together this season, who would have thought that he was a master of running and gunning?

Nash used to be a star famous for his isolation shooting and pick-and-roll passing!

The Rockets, a group of players who can pick and roll, Jim Jackson, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, and Yao Ming, are all pick-and-roll weapons, but they only lack a pick-and-roll ball handler. In order to save five or six million a year

, choosing Bob Sura over Nash, what kind of poison is this? Yao Ming joined the Rockets. In more than two years, the Rockets' market value soared from 130 million to 500 million!

After a few seconds of silence for Yao Ming, Liu Mang thought of a solution.

Of course, how could such an important matter be discussed so casually?

Liu Mang said to the little Loli: "Dina, go get the half bottle of vodka, the half bottle!"

"Got it!" The little loli went to get the wine.

"Could it be..." Yao Ming had a black line on his face.

Levia also rolled her eyes and followed the little Loli to get two Luo cups.

Then, Yao Ming watched Liu Mang pour half a glass of wine into each of the two glasses. Liu Mang didn't drink. He was going to drive soon. Yao Ming took a big sip himself. He called the car rental company. After taking a big sip,

, his face turned red when he swallowed it, then he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, and then released it all.

"Dayao, do you like the Rockets?" Liu Mang asked a very important question.

"I liked it at first, but now, every time I see the Suns' game report and see Alexander, I feel uncomfortable." Yao Ming also changed his attitude after drinking. He became much more direct and made no secret of his feelings towards Alexander now.

Team Rocket's dissatisfaction.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Yao Ming was the only player in China who had a firm foothold in the NBA, Yao Ming would not say such things, but now with Liu Mang, the pressure on him is much less.

Especially after Liu Mang joined the national team, Liu Mang became a representative figure in the Chinese sports world and represented Chinese basketball, and Yao Ming's pressure was further reduced.

This will not affect Yao Ming's commercial value, but it will also allow Yao Ming to be more "willful".

Originally, Yao Ming would not have brought up Nash, but now he has "dare" to bring it up and is not afraid of being criticized by the media for interfering with the team's operations.

Because there was Liu Mang standing in the way, Liu Mang's reputation was as bad as it was, and Yao Ming didn't make too many outrageous suggestions. His suggestions made him appear more assertive.

"Would you consider changing teams?" Liu Mang continued to ask.

"If possible, I hope to convince the management to sign him." Yao Ming answered honestly.

"Ah?" This answer was beyond Liu Mang's expectation. Where was that willful attitude just now?

"I just opened a restaurant in Houston, and they won't trade me. My commercial value is too high." Yao Ming still had many concerns.

Liu Mang reorganized his thoughts and came up with a solution.

"Dayao, there are three ways before you now." Liu Mang thought of three possibilities.

"So many?" Yao Ming's eyes lit up.

"Of course, what you have in front of you is my handsome and smart person." Liu Mang coquettishly touched the crew cut that Alexia helped shave in the morning.

"……speak English."

Liu Mang said seriously: "Okay, no more joking, the first way is for you to accept reality. Of course, if you were really stupid enough to accept reality, you wouldn't come to me.

So, what you can do now is the second way, try to forcefully go to the management to ask for signings, threaten them with application for trade, and kill them all.

The third path is partly the same as the second path. You can go to the management forcefully and ask for signings first, without applying for a trade, and see what they will do. If they are still reluctant to spend money in the end, you will not renew the contract.

After playing a four-year rookie contract, and then forcing them to choose, either sign you with a qualifying contract, or sign you first and then trade you. The third way is safe but requires patience, and be prepared to take one year less of the maximum salary.

Prepare... Anyway, your endorsement fee is so high, it is not short of the millions. I remember that the qualification contract for the No. 1 pick was more than 8 million, which is only 4 million less. You can just sign two more endorsements.

Moreover, I don’t think your team can win the championship anyway. Eight or nine players on our team with rookie contracts have to pay luxury tax. Your salary is only 48 million, which is less than the salary cap. You can make it into the season.

Even after the finals, you guys are good enough."

"So direct..." Yao Ming felt shocked.

"What do you think?" Liu Mang pursed his lips.

"Well, this is what I'm worried about. I don't see any future at all." Yao Ming said with a wry smile.

"Dayao, you can choose these three paths yourself. Of course, if there is a better way, you can also try it." Liu Mang was just giving suggestions. It is up to Yao Ming to choose.

"I understand, thank you Ace." Yao Ming said sincerely.

"We are brothers, why are we talking about this?" Liu Mang looked like this is what I should do.

"Yes, brother!"

The two unkind guys became brothers again.

"By the way, I'm hungry again. I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time. Aida, can you help me make some more egg pancakes to take away?" Yao Ming is really not polite!

"Of course it's no problem. You like to eat. I'm so happy. Just wait for me." Alexia replied in Chinese with a strange tone.

"..." Liu Mang couldn't help but look at the little Lolita again: These are brothers!

"By the way," Liu Mang suddenly thought of something and said to Yao Ming: "Big Yao, I have a suggestion. During the regular season, you can learn from O'Neal during the Lakers period."

"Learn from O'Neal? Of course, I am slowly gaining weight now." Yao Ming thought Liu Mang was going to make him a dominant center.

This is different from the previous season in the summer of 2005 when the Rockets suddenly asked Yao Ming to gain weight to more than 140 kilograms and become a heavy weapon, causing his knees and toes to suddenly bear a weight increase of nearly 40 pounds, which is 17 or 18 kilograms.

Now Yao Ming is gradually gaining weight, and his knees and feet are more adaptable, which is relatively beneficial to his career.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is, in the regular season, Dayao, if you are tired, just tell the coach that you are tired. You are the number one center in the West! The privileges that the number one center in the West should have

, you have to hold it! Just like me, if I want to shoot, Tracy McGrady or Jason Terry will just pass the ball to me obediently!" Liu Mang said and glanced at the window or something, so no one should overhear.

, so show off forcefully.

"this……"
