American Fortune Life

The 2007-2008 NBA preseason will start on October 7th, and there is still about a month of rest, but the obedient Dayao is still following the national team to Wanwan, and there are various commercial activities, as well as the national team Contest.

The management of the Rockets, who have to participate in the useless national team warm-up match like Dayao, has a lot of opinions. I heard that people from Yao’s team have contacted the Rockets. The United States reported that this drove the Rockets' management crazy.

Andy frowned and looked at the letter handed to him by Morey with a gloomy face, and slammed his mouth. To be honest, Dayao's injury in February 2008 was basically caused by fatigue. He insisted on participating in the Olympic Games, and Dayao would be called back to participate in any bad competitions. His sports career was shortened in this way.

Boom——

"Please come in."

Andy looked up and saw the old coach Nelson who pushed the door and walked in. He stretched his slightly frowning brows, stood up and smiled across the table, shook hands with him, and said, "Coach, please sit down."

"Thank you. Boss, what do you want from me?" Old Nelson asked directly after sitting down.

"Well, coach, you should take a look first." As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Old Nelson, staring at the change in Old Nelson's expression, and as expected, he frowned very quickly, and Andy said straight to the point stand up.

"Their national conditions are like this, and Dayao is a player with a strong sense of responsibility. There is no way to stop him. The key is that he is of great value to the Rockets. Whether it is on the court or off the court, he can bring the Rockets at least every year. With a profit of 70 to 80 million US dollars, the market behind him is too big and too attractive. We can’t use him up. As long as he plays in the Rockets for one more year, he can bring benefits to the Rockets for one year. .”

Old Nelson looked up at the young boss in surprise. He was surprised that the boss was so straightforward. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "I understand, boss. I have seen some of Dayao's previous works. In the future, I will not ask him to increase the weight blindly. Weight gain will increase the pressure on the bones in his legs and feet. Once he is tired, he will basically get injured.

Dayao was very strong in mid-range shooting when he entered the NBA. With Yao’s height of more than 10 centimeters higher than Nowitzki, if such a 226 big man shoots mid-range shots, plus some protection position, then for the defensive side, there is basically no solution, and it is more difficult to deal with than Nowitzki.

In strengthening strength a little bit, rather than blindly emphasizing strength gain, then such Dayao. Facing a weaker center, just squeeze in. If you encounter a strong player, you can just shoot from the mid-range. And given the current state of the league, that big shark is already old.

He has also become a fat shark, and the only traditional center with strength is Howard, who is Magic, but that kid has always been at a disadvantage when facing Dayao. "

Morey said thoughtfully from the side: "Then we need to find someone to increase the defense of the inside line."

Old Nelson cast his eyes on the big boss, and said with a smile: "Boss, Dayao needs a strong substitute to get enough rest time..."

"Tell me, who do you want?" Andy couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"Ben Wallace of the Bulls! Although Big Ben suffered from knee injuries in the two seasons of the Bulls and did not show his defensive level when he was in the Pistons, but it is enough to be a substitute for Dayao. I want him to come Getting to Houston is not difficult."

Old Nelson smiled happily. Apart from wanting Daben as a substitute, he also wanted to gather a small lineup for running and bombing, a set of classic center forward positional warfare, a set of swift running and bombing, ahem, anyway, his own team The boss is not short of money.

"Boss, what you thought before is very reasonable. Ralph Alston's street ball style has penetrated into the cells, and his ball skills are too fancy. It is very difficult for a center of Dayao's height to bend over to catch and dribble the ball. It's easy to steal, it's uncomfortable, and we need a good point guard, an All-Star veteran."

"Just tell me, who are you looking for?"

"Chauncey Billups of the Pistons is always underestimated as an MVP, and his annual salary in the Pistons is only five million dollars. The championship and the temptation of annual salary, I think he is an ambitious and smart person, no Will refuse the olive branch we offer him!"

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

"No problem, I will ask Bob to include them in the plan." Morey thought that the young boss in front of him was not the old stingy Alexander. Well, old Nelson is really awesome and can suppress these stars. Players, it seems that Bob is going to cry, maybe he will give away half of the team, ahem, fortunately, I don't care about the player management.

"By the way, boss, I will intervene in the locker room. The Rockets' locker room has a big problem. Without a good locker room atmosphere, it will have a huge impact on team morale."

Old Nelson's expression changed from a smile to a gloomy one. He was very dissatisfied with what he knew. The boss of the team, McGrady, did not have the size that a boss should have. It was terrible. The bad boy, the villain came to the team, McGrady couldn't secure the position of the boss at all, he had to suppress the locker room himself.

"You are the coach, the team is entrusted to you, you have the final say, except Dayao, you can kick anyone away, that's right, anyone!" Andy said with a very serious expression.

"call--"

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

"thanks!"

Hearing old Nelson's extremely sincere thanks, Andy smiled slightly, looked at Morey, who also had a shocked expression on his face, and said, "I will leave the running of the team to you in the future, do it well." Daily briefings are enough, you don’t need to ask for instructions, I believe in your ability, so you are still the general manager, OK?”

"Understood the boss, thank you for the boss's trust." Morey felt a lot in his heart. The young big boss is really domineering. The media said that his boss is the kind of boss who is willing to give power and trust to his subordinates, which is true.

"As for Dayao's failure to report on time, according to the team's practice, he should be banned from the game and fined. By the way, can we contact the league and go to the Rabbit Country for the preseason game in October?" Andy thought of his previous life. The NBA's method of collecting money, he couldn't help asking.

"It should be no problem. We have already held the NBA Rabbit Country Game in 2004. At that time, the league and the team did not make any money. In the next few years, no team is willing to go. In fact, the Rabbit Country Game League will also be happy to see its success. We have a game against the Hornets in the preseason, so it can work. However, I am worried that the league will let other teams..." When Morey heard the boss's proposal, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, but thinking of the league's pissing, It is very possible to rob Hu.

"Huh? The preseason, where to play is not playing! Besides, we all know that we don't make money, so is there anyone robbing it? And we have Dayao and the foundation of the Rabbit Country. What we want is influence and the expansion of the Rockets in the Celestial Dynasty." Brand Value."

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 deal with. A preseason game only gives the NBA a few million rabbit coins at the box office. It wasn't that there was Yao in the Rockets, and he wouldn't let his players fly halfway around the world to 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, and talked with general manager Morey and coach Nelson Shake hands respectively.

The two left the boss's office. On the way, Morey smiled bitterly and said to coach Nelson: "Coach, you are going to rebuild the team. Daben still has some hope. Changlu, do you think the Pistons will let people go? And these two Once I come to the Rockets, my God, the locker room..."

The villains from the gang fights in the Palace of Auburn Hills could eat good babies like McGrady and Dayao.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm fine. Da Ben has been wasted for two years. Chang Lu is a smart man and won't mess around. The temptation of the championship and the annual salary in line with his true ability and value will make him make the right choice. I'm sure Bob will figure it out."

Old Nelson walked forward with his tall body relaxed. In his coaching career, he has never felt so comfortable. The only Knicks coach who is not short of money has no power at all. All powerful teams Stingy, the decision to coach the Rockets this time seems to be extremely correct, and the ideal of a championship is already close at hand.
