"Ding"

When the red light of the timing card lights up, the number becomes 0 and the long whistle sounds. The Rockets' game against the Timberwolves ends.

107 to 88

Judging from the whole game, the Rockets did not give the Timberwolves any chance, and Yao Dayu finally tasted the treatment of resting in the fourth quarter. Old Nelson left the bench with a smile. Facing the weak team, the game itself was not convincing, but Yao Dayu's score improvement this time is still worthy of history.

Maybe people still remember the young man who just entered the NBA hall in 2002. When he brought the Rockets' cap, he was a little shy, but now he has become the pillar of the Rockets' inside line. Without him, Houston cannot be called a complete Rockets.

The continuous efforts to win the championship and being kicked out of the playoffs have caused Yao Yao torture and entanglement, and he has had the idea of ​​changing the team more than once.

However, everything is different now because I have changed to a very, very awesome new team boss, especially the young boss who knows the culture of the Celestial Empire and attaches great importance to him.

Although the other party also considers the Celestial Market, it is definitely not the kind of person who only treats him as a money tree and does not give him sincere respect for his status.

To be honest, when the Rockets traded McGrady away, Yao Yu was also very worried about it, worried that the Rockets would go downhill. Although his relationship with McGrady was not that good, the cooperation between his teammates could still be guaranteed.

However, the fact is that the awesome team owner is awesome and has really created a giant team. If it weren't for Da Ben's injury later, the Rockets' lineup would have been five All-Stars.

This year is the most promising year to win the championship. For the championship, even with a flu injury, he still persisted in two overtime games to help the Rockets defeat the Pistons. The Rockets' Western Conference ranking rose from third to second, only three games behind the Los Angeles Lakers, who were the first.

He is already 30 years old and has not been in his peak period for too long. Yaoyao must plan for his future. For Yaoyao, if he can win the championship this season, then his choice will be even greater after the end of this season.

Regarding the contract expired in 2010, whether to continue to sign the Rockets, as the Rockets pass the running-in period this season and achieve great results, the importance of Yao Yao, who plays the role of the inside pillar, is self-evident, and it also makes his stay or not the focus of the entire league and the Celestial fans.

With the championship team, Yao Yao is not a person who is tired of the new and old. As long as the money is in place, it is basically certain that Yao Yao stays in the Rockets.

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​Rockets owner Andy Smith and Rockets management, but outside media and managers of other teams in the league pointed out directly that the Rockets will release Yao Dayao this summer to "test the waters and ask for the price", and even said, "If they don't do this, they will be stupid."

To be honest, Yao Yao was unsure. After all, looking at the history of the Rockets, there are many examples of them sending away the stars, including "Big Dream" Olajuwon, who was also sent away ruthlessly in his later years of his career.

If Yao Yao has reached a time when he can no longer contribute more to the court, why not exchange him for some young people?

After all, business is always business.

Although Yao Yao has confidence in his strength and the Celestial Market behind him, and has a good personal relationship with the team boss, he really doesn't believe in the relationship between Americans at all. The Rockets may not be able to sign and then trade, and come to cheat him.

As for Andy Smith, he is not a seller, and whoever takes it seriously is stupid.

This can be seen in the Mavericks' view of Nowitzki, "Nowitzki is not a seller unless someone exchanges Kobe James."

Yao Yu is the same with the Rockets. Even if he is one of the most dominant centers today, even if he will bring a large Chinese market, if someone exchanges superstars like Kobe, James, and Wade, a fool would say "no"!

Innocent people cannot gain a foothold in the adult world, let alone in the NBA that is just a business.

Yao Yao is very tall, and his IQ and EQ are also very high. This is recognized, so how could he be a naive person?

In the locker room, although he was sweating all over, Yao, with a happy smile on his face, sat in his seat, surrounded by reporters, of course, mainly from the Celestial Empire and Houston.

Most reporters are asking Yao Yao about his feelings about reaching the 9,000-point mark in NBA history. The joy of winning and the team's performance getting better and better made Yao Yao happy to answer the reporter's questions with his Yao-style humor.

"...Yao, your contract with the Rockets will expire after the end of next season. After the end of this season, you have the right to jump out of the contract and become a free agent. Will you choose to jump out of the contract?

It is reported that Team Yao is already in contact with Team Rockets about your contract. Is the news true?"

The sudden question was asked, which calmed down the reporters surrounding Yaoyao, looking at Yaoyao with bright eyes, waiting for his positive answer.

"I never thought about leaving the Rockets, not to mention that our power is already so strong..."

Yao frowned slightly, thought for a while, and decided to show his attitude so that the Rockets management could know. However, before he finished speaking, a Rockets manager squeezed to Yao and whispered a few words in his ear. Yao was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, and he smiled and took the phone that the other party had been covering the microphone.

"Good evening, boss"

When the reporters who wanted to ask asked, they immediately became silent when they heard the name of Yao Yao. They tried their best to put their finger recorders, recorders and microphones into Yao Yao's ears and mouths, hoping to include Andy Smith, the most popular and most difficult to interview. Any single message can increase newspaper sales.

"...Haha, Yao, congratulations."

"Thank you, boss." Yao said with a bright smile.

"There's nothing else, just call to congratulate you. OK, I won't waste your time..."

Andy on the other end of the phone just wanted to congratulate him, but he ended the call, but was startled by the bursts of shouts.

"Mr. Smith"

"Mr. Smith, can you accept a telephone interview?"...

"Yao, what are you doing? Why are you so noisy?"

Hearing the boss' question, Yao Yao smiled bitterly and wanted to stand up and ask the staff to get the reporters out first, but how could the reporters who had found a new interview point give up?

"Sorry, boss, I just gave an interview to reporters in the locker room..."

"Mr. Smith, will the Rockets release Yaoyao this summer to test the waters and ask for the price?"

A reporter shouted a question, overwhelmed Yao's voice and let Andy on the other end of the phone hear it clearly.

“…”

After a few seconds of silence, Andy frowned and said to Yao on the other end of the phone: "You turn on the hands-free."

"Okay, boss..."

"I'm Andy Smith. Someone asked just now, if the Rockets will trade Yaoyao. I can tell you very clearly, no! I still said that, for the Rockets, Yaoyao is not a product! We hope he can fight with the Rockets until he retires, just like that..."

"Someone revealed that the Raptors decided to chase Yao Yu with all their might. They had enough salaries to attract him. Just like Olajuwon, he was attracted by the Raptors' high salary and turned to the Toronto Raptors..."

"Hahaha……"

In the entire locker room, only the loud laughter from the hands-free phone in Yao Yao's hands.

"High salary? How high is it? Then, I tell you, you can also tell the Raptors, here, I officially invite Bosh to join the Rockets, come on, Bosh, there is Yao, Anthony, Changxi, and Artest, join the Rockets and build a dynasty together!

The Rockets will give you a big contract worthy of you!

At the same time, I once again sent an invitation to all All-Star players in the league, and the Rockets would not refuse! In order to establish a dynasty, luxury tax is not a problem at all!"

Andy hung up the phone because of his statement. He knew that his high-profile statement almost stabbed the hornet's nest of all the league teams, which would make all teams anxious and worried that his leading stars would be hooked away. I believe that many team bosses will have nightmares after tonight.

Tsk, I want to be low-key, but the power does not allow it!

Ah, my damn charm that has nowhere to rest! d
Chapter completed!
