The 2007-2008 NBA preseason will start on October 7, and there will be about one month of rest time, but the obedient Yao still follows the national team to the stoop, as well as various commercial activities and national team competitions.

The Rockets management, which is very dissatisfied with Yao's management, who is simply useless in warm-up matches of the national team. I heard that Yao's people have contacted the Rockets, and Yao could not even return to the United States to report at the prescribed time, which made the Rockets management crazy.

Andy frowned and looked at the letter that Morey handed him with a gloomy face, and smashed it. To be honest, Yaoyao's injury in February 2008 was basically caused by fatigue. After treatment, he insisted on participating in the Olympics without any improvement. Moreover, Yaoyao would be recalled to participate in any broken competition. This is how his sports career was shortened.

"Please come in."

Andy looked up and saw the coach, Old Nelson, who was walking in with the door, stretched out his frown, stood up and smiled across the table, shook hands with the other party, and said, "Coach, please sit."

"Thank you. Boss, are you asking me for anything?" Old Nelson asked directly after sitting down.

"Well, coach, you can take a look first." As he said that, he handed the letter in his hand to Old Nelson, his eyes kept staring at Old Nelson's change in expression. Sure enough, he frowned quickly, and Andy started talking straight to the point.

"Their national conditions are like this, and Yao Yao is a very responsible player. He can't stop him. The key is that he is too valuable to the Rockets. Whether on or off the court, he can bring at least 780 million US dollars in profits every year. The market behind him is too big and too tempting. We can't use it to ruin him. As long as he plays for one more year with the Rockets, he can bring benefits to the Rockets for a year."

Old Nelson looked up at the young boss in surprise. He was still very surprised to be so straightforward. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "I understand, boss, I have read some of the previous training records of Dayao. Next, I will not ask him to blindly increase weight. The increase in weight will increase the pressure on his legs and feet. Once he is tired, he will basically be injured.

Yao Yao was very strong when he entered the NBA early stages, and with Yao Yao being more than 10 centimeters taller than Nowitzki, if a big man with a 226-year-old shot in the mid-range and some postures to protect himself, it would be basically unsolvable for the defensive side, and it was more difficult to deal with than Nowitzki.

If you strengthen your strength a little, instead of just emphasizing the strength to increase your weight, then such Yaoyao. Facing a center that is weaker than the strength, you can squeeze in directly. If you encounter a power type, you can just shoot directly from the middle distance. Moreover, as the current situation of the league, the big shark is old and has become a fat shark. The traditional center of the strength type is only one magical Howard, but the child has always been at a disadvantage when facing Yaoyao."

Morey said thoughtfully, "Then you need to find someone to increase the defense of the inside."

Old Nelson looked at the big boss and said with a smile: "Boss, Yao Yao needs a strong substitute to get enough rest time..."

"Tell me, who do you want?" Andy couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Bully Wallace of the Bulls! Although Big Ben suffered from knee injuries in the Bulls' two seasons and did not show his defensive level at the Pistons, it was enough to be a substitute for Yao Yao. It was not difficult for me to get him to Houston."

Old Nelson smiled happily. In addition to wanting Da Ben as a substitute, he also wanted to form a small lineup to play the run and the bomber, a classic center position battle, and a quick run and the bomber as fast as the wind. Ahem, his boss is not short of money anyway.

"Boss, what you thought before makes sense. Raff Alstom's street ball style has penetrated into the cell. The ball skills are too fancy. The passing of the ball makes a center forward like Yao's bent over to catch the ball and dribble the ball. It is very easy to be stolen. It is very uncomfortable. We need an excellent point guard, and an all-star veteran can do it."

"You said directly, who do you like?"

"Changcy Billups of the Pistons is always underestimated as an MVP. His annual salary for the Pistons is only 5 million US dollars. The championship plus the temptation of annual salary, I think if he is an ambitious smart man, he will not refuse the olive branch we handed him!"

Andy looked at Morey with a wry smile and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem, I will ask Bob to include them in the plan." Morey thought of the young boss in front of him, not the stingy Alexander. Well, Old Nelson is really awesome and can suppress these star players. It seems that Bob is about to cry and may send out most of the team. Cough cough, fortunately he doesn't care about the player operations.

"By the way, boss, I will interfere in the locker room. The Rockets' locker room has a big problem. There is no good locker room atmosphere, which has a huge impact on the team's morale."

Old Nelson's expression changed from a smile to a gloomy. He was very dissatisfied with the situation he understood. The team's boss, McGrady, had no ability that a boss should have. It was very bad. And once the two bad guys of the Pistons, Da Ben and Billups, came to the team, McGrady could not hold the boss's position firmly, and he had to personally suppress the locker room.

"You are the coach, and the team will leave it to you. You have the final say. Except for Yao Yao, you can kick anyone away. Yes, it's anyone!" Andy said with a serious expression.

"call"

Old Nelson couldn't help but clenched his fists, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and his eyes became solemn. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would support him so much power and give him so much power. He knew the weight of what he said just now, and this was to establish his authority in the Rockets.

"Thanks!"

Hearing Old Nelson's extremely sincere thanks, Andy smiled slightly, looked at Morey, who was also surprised, and said, "I will leave the team to you in the future. Just do a daily briefing, and there is no need to ask for instructions and ask for instructions. I believe in your ability, so you are still the general manager, ok?"

"I understand the boss, thank you for your trust." Morey felt a lot in his heart. The young big boss is indeed domineering enough. The media said that his boss is the kind of boss who is willing to give his subordinates power and trust, and it is indeed true.

"As for the fact that Yao Yao cannot report on time, according to the team's convention, it should be banned and fined. By the way, in the preseason in October, can we contact the league and go to Rabbit Country to compete?" Andy thought of the NBA's money-making method in his previous life, and couldn't help but ask.

"It should be no problem. We have held the NBA Rabbit National Championship once in 2004. At that time, the league and the team did not make any money. No team was willing to go in the next few years. In fact, the league will also be happy to see it. We have a game against the Hornets in the preseason, which can be operated. However, I am worried that the league will make other teams..." Morey couldn't help but his eyes shine when he heard the boss's suggestion, but when he thought of the league's urine, he might be robbed.

"Well? In the preseason, where to play, it's not a fight! Besides, I know that it's not profitable, so is there anyone robbing this? And we have Yao and the foundation of the Rabbit Kingdom, what we want is influence and expanding the brand value of the Rockets in the Celestial Empire."

Andy frowned and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. To be honest, the officials of the Rabbit Country are not easy to match. In a preseason game, only a few million rabbit coins were given to the NBA League. It would be strange if the team was willing to go. If there was no Yao from the Rockets, he wouldn't have let the players fly most of the earth to the Rabbit Country.

"Okay, two, I'm leaving Houston tomorrow, I'll leave the team to you, don't let me down!" Andy stood up with a faint smile on his face, shook hands with general manager Morey and coach Old Nelson.

The two left the boss's office. On the way, Morey smiled wryly and said to coach Nelson, "Coach, you are going to rebuild the team. Big Ben still has some hope. Changlu, do you think the Pistons will release people? And once these two people come to the Rockets, my goodness, the locker room..."

The villain who fought in the Auburn Mountain Palace could eat up the good babies like McGrady and Yao.

"Haha, don't worry, it's okay to have me. Daben has been wasting two years. Changlu is a smart person and will not do anything randomly. The temptation of the championship and the annual salary that meets the real value of his ability will make him make the right choice. I believe Bob will have a solution."

Old Nelson walked forward with his tall body easily. He had never felt so comfortable in his coaching career. The only Knicks who coached without shortage of money did not have the slightest power. The team with power was stingy. This time, the decision to coach the Rockets seemed to be extremely correct. The ideal of the championship was close to him.
