Chapter 193 [Gate]

【Chapter [-] The Gate】

It was past eight o'clock in the evening in BJ time, and it was already dark, but on the other side of the earth, the sky was bright.

The owner of the Houston Rockets, Leslie Alexander, is sitting on the boss chair and reading the latest issue of "Forbes" magazine. His personal assets have now reached the [-]th place in the Forbes list. This result is not as good as his Accurate investment vision is completely inseparable.

Leslie Alexander, who started his career in financial securities and real estate, currently ranks seventh among NBA bosses in terms of assets. Assets are rising at the same speed as a "rocket".

However, the "stingy" nature has not disappeared from Leslie Alexander.

"Boom boom boom!"

After the door rang three times, a tall foreign old man pushed the door in, with only a few short, pitiful but well-manicured short hair on his head.

As soon as he entered the door, the old man almost shouted to Leslie: "Leslie! Have you read the CD I gave you? I tell you clearly, I want both of those two Chinese players! Especially that one Wang, after next year’s draft, I want to see him appear on my team!”

The person who can talk to Leslie Alexander like this is naturally the Rockets coach Rick Adelman.

Adelman is one of the famous coaches in the NBA. He once led the Portland Trail Blazers to the Finals twice and then coached the Golden State Warriors.

He came out again on September 1998, 9, and he began to coach the Sacramento Kings. He is also the 17th coach in the history of the Kings.In his fifth season in charge of the team, the Kings became the most watchable team in the league. They are the team with the strongest scoring ability in the league. into the playoffs.

It took Adelman only 468 games to achieve 300 wins, and he ranked seventh among NBA coaches. Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Cunningham, Jones, Castro and Kundera was in front of him respectively.

Since he came to the Rockets, Adelman has also built the team around the team's high center Yao Ming, and the Rockets have really begun to attack their third NBA championship.

"Aha! Dear Rick, you came very early!" Leslie stood up with a smile on his face, greeted his head coach, and walked to the coffee machine in the corner of the office: "Please sit down, come How about a cup of coffee?"

Uh!
Rick Adelman's eyes were wide open, but he had nothing to do with his polite boss, so he sat angrily at Leslie's desk.

"Hehe, Rick, getting angry early in the morning is very bad for your health! We are all over 60 years old, how can we be impatient?" Leslie smiled and delivered the coffee to Adelman's In front of him, after hearing a "thank you" reply in satisfaction, he smiled and said, "I have already watched the CD you gave me, and I must admit that these two young Chinese players really interest me. !"

Adelman had a happy face: "Then you promised to get them here?"

Leslie nodded and winked at Adelman: "Yes! Of course I agree! Rick, the talents of these two children are so outstanding, not to mention that they will replace Yao as the leader of Chinese basketball in time. A promising market! I support you, get them here!"

"Oh! Thank you for your generosity this time!" Receiving an affirmative answer from his stingy boss, Adelman smiled with satisfaction: "You know, Alston is [-] years old, although he is in good condition, But if we consider the future and the championship, it's time for us to find a successor for him! McGrady is [-] years old now, how many years can he play? How long can he stand by Yao's side? So that Song who can play small forward and shooting guard, we must also take him!"

Leslie was stunned: "Rick, are you kidding? You mean, in two or three years, our team will have three Chinese players at the same time!?"

Adelman smiled and asked his boss: "Why? Is there anything wrong? As long as he is capable, as long as he can contribute to my team's championship, I don't care which country he is from." What about the players! Besides, what happened to the Chinese players? Yao is now an out-and-out pillar in our team!"

Leslie was a little anxious: "But we have paid a lot for Yao! Our team has done too much work for him outside of training, and even his body needs us to worry about him. We... "

"Boss!" Adelman raised his hand and interrupted Leslie: "Didn't you take a closer look at the information of these two players? They will soon come to the United States to play in the NCAA League. Naturally, there will be others there. Worrying about them, all we have to do now is..."

Leslie's eyes lit up, and he and Adelman shouted excitedly: "Catch them!"

After the two 60-year-old men exchanged a sly look with each other, they laughed knowingly together.

"Dinglingling....jinglingling..."

Melvin Hunter, who was about to explain to Wang Zhen the reason for his visit, suddenly heard the phone ring in his pocket. After apologizing to Wang Zhen, he glanced at the calling number and quickly walked outside the door to answer it.

The call came from the office of Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander.

Seeing Melvin Hunter leave the room, Wang Zhen frowned and asked Yao Ming, "Boss, tell me what's going on, so I can be mentally prepared!"

Yao Ming shrugged: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that my boss, the head coach of the Rockets, Mr. Rick Adelman, is very interested in you and Song Feng!"

what! ?

Wang Zhen's mouth opened so wide that he could definitely stuff an egg into it.

Although he had boldly imagined this matter in his heart, Wang Zhen still couldn't restrain his shock when he heard Yao Ming say it himself.

"The Rockets team you play for...want us?" Wang Zhen was a little unsure.

Yao Ming thought for a while and shook his huge head lightly: "I don't know the specific situation. According to my understanding, this year's NBA draft has already ended, so it is impossible for you to join the Rockets this year. But The Rockets must be interested in the two of you, otherwise Mr. Adelman would not have called me several times! Well, I think they should sign you and Song Feng first, and then look at your performance and decide Time for you guys to join the NBA draft!"

"Oh! So that's it!" Wang Zhen nodded, and his smart head began to spin again.

Because of the invitation from the University of Minnesota, Wang Zhen still knows a little about the NCAA, but he doesn't know much about the NBA professional league. After all, it is still a distant dream for him.

But right now, this dream has really come before his eyes.

However, after Wang Zhen analyzed rationally in his heart, he guessed the real intention of Team Rocket to contact him and Song Feng.

With the skills and strength of Wang Zhen and Song Feng today, the two of them will definitely not be favored by the Rockets. The Rockets sent people to contact them at this time. Naturally, they are optimistic about the future development of him and Song Feng. , the two of them have developed well, the Rockets will naturally open the door to them and invite them to join, otherwise...

That being the case, then I have to fight for a better condition for myself!
After thinking everything through, a confident smile appeared on Wang Zhen's face again.

Soon, Melvin Hunter made a phone call and re-entered the room. First, he praised the Rockets to Wang Zhen and told the history of the Rockets. The Rockets' intentions.

The Rockets will not directly introduce him and Song Feng to the team at present, but will sign a three-year sponsorship contract with him and Song Feng. In the next three years, the Rockets will provide each of them with 20 However, if Wang Zhen and Song Feng enter the NBA professional league in the next two years, they must first join the Rockets under similar conditions.

Of course, there are questions about how to operate in the draft process, and that is the Rockets' own business.

After listening to Hunter's words, Wang Zhen fully understood what was going on. After consulting some questions such as whether they would need to be compensated if they did not enter the NBA, Wang Zhen fully understood that the Rockets were going to move forward in advance. I and Song Feng locked within their control and made plans for the future.

However, the Rockets were not an underdog in the NBA. They also have a large fan base in China. In addition, Yao Ming is the core of the team. If Wang Zhen and Song Feng go to the Rockets, there will be no shortage Take care, this is a good choice.

What's more, the Rockets will give him and Song Feng a sponsorship fee of 20 US dollars each every year, which is equivalent to 70 million yuan!
After thinking about all this, Wang Zhen smiled to Melvin Hunter: "Mr. Hunter, please express my gratitude to the owner and head coach of the Rockets on behalf of me and my friend Song Feng! I am very happy to work with the Rockets. Signing such a contract, as for my friend Song Feng, I think he should have no big problems! But as you can see, he is not here now, and our Chinese team has already played in the Olympic basketball game After entering the quarterfinals, what we have to do now is to play the rest of the game for the country, and the matter of signing with the Rockets, can we wait until the Olympic basketball game is over before discussing it in detail?"

Although Melvin Hunter is just a scout, he still has the right to sign this kind of apprenticeship contract. He can completely replace the Rockets to complete the signing. He came to meet with Wang Zhen today just to test The attitudes of Wang Zhen and Song Feng are nothing more than that. It is already very satisfying to get a more affirmative answer from Wang Zhen, so naturally they have no excuses to agree.

The talents of two young players, Wang Zhen and Song Feng, would not have been easy to discover if the Rockets had not set their sights on China for a long time. After all, they are not as big as Yao Ming. Fame, they are not even professional players in China!
After shaking hands with Melvin Hunter in a friendly manner, Wang Zhen sent the foreigner and Yao Ming out of the room, then called Song Feng, who was shopping with Xiu Yulan, and told him to go back to the dormitory early because he had important things to discuss. .

Within an hour, Song Feng rushed back in a hurry, pushed the door into the room, and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator: "Wang... Da Zhen, what on earth is going on with you? On the phone... Not to mention...don't know...am I...dating?"

Wang Zhen put the laptop aside, just now he carefully checked the information about the NBA, and more about the information about the Rockets.

"Song Feng, the Houston Rockets of the American NBA professional basketball league have sent people to contact us. They want to sign an apprenticeship contract with us called a sponsorship contract. They will give each of us 20 US dollars each year. It’s a good thing, we got the money, and we even touched the handle of the door, what do you think!?”

"what!?"

Song Feng even forgot to pant, he just stood there with his mouth wide open.

American NBA! ?

Houston Rockets! ?
The team where Yao Ming played! ?

sign! ?
Suddenly, Song Feng jumped up: "Damn! You Wang Dazhen! Today is not April Fool's Day, you won't make fun of me!?"

Wang Zhen's face was still calm, and he smiled and said, "Will I use this to tease you? It's true. Boss Yao also knows about this. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask him. I'll ask you now, do we want to?" Sign this contract?"

Only then did Song Feng believe it, and shouted excitedly: "Sign it! Why don't you sign it? I'm an idiot not to sign it! Hahaha! I'm going to become an NBA superstar too!"

I have painful arthritis in my right hand, my finger is swollen like a carrot, and it hurts even when I move it.

I went to the orthopedic department of the hospital for an examination, and the experts frightened the fat man that it was "gout". I went to the rheumatology department to find out that it was not. I finally felt relieved. After eating two boxes of Huli powder, combined with meloxicam dispersible tablets, I feel much better now, and I can finally type. .
