Yao Ming's willingness to go is only the first step, because he still has a contract with the Houston Rockets. If the Rockets are not willing to let him go, it is useless to say anything, so we still need to communicate with the Rockets first to make sure that the Rockets will not give in. Let's talk.

If there is a threat from one side and the other side accepts it immediately, then everyone will be happy, and everything will disappear. Although this will create a huge rift between the team and Yao Ming, so what, the players are not selling themselves to the team.

Under the protection of the players union, the interests of the players have been greatly guaranteed. At least the salaries of the players will not always be guaranteed. If you have a big fight with the team, it will only affect your reputation, and your commercial image may suffer a certain loss. But this is not absolute.

Moreover, Yao Ming's four-year contract only has the last two years left. The big deal is to wait until the end of the contract. Of course, this is a deadly trick. It can't be used easily. If he doesn't play for two years, it's hard to say whether Yao Ming can maintain his state. , but if you want to negotiate, you must have this courage.

According to normal standard procedures, Bill Duffy first made an appointment with the Rockets in advance, and then he came to Houston and met Daryl Morey.

The reason why Daryl Morey didn't return Bill Duffy's call last time was because the boss, Alexander, hadn't given him an answer yet, and now that he had the answer, he naturally didn't need to avoid Bill Duffy's visit.

Alexander listened to Thomas Clanton's report on Yao Ming's physical condition. Here, Thomas Clanton was not at all as confident as when he was about to perform surgery on Yao Ming. Instead, he made a very cautious assessment of Yao Ming's health. He believes that no matter what treatment method is adopted, Yao Ming's physical condition will only continue to deteriorate. In other words, Yao Ming's health condition will only get worse and worse in the future.

Because a foot injury is almost fatal to an athlete, especially Yao Ming's ability is mainly to carry people under the basket, which has high requirements for the weight of the foot, unless Yao Ming changes his style of play, but In this way, his power is not reflected, and he is reduced to an ordinary player.

Here, Thomas Clanton boldly made a prediction on Yao Ming's body, that is, Yao Ming can maintain an excellent performance for two to three years at most, and there must be constant injuries in it, and Yao Ming is no longer suitable for the The cornerstone of a team.

Now Yao Ming will make a strong comeback every time he is injured, which is based on his high-intensity and massive training, and sooner or later his body will not be able to withstand such a training intensity. By that time, Yao Ming will decline every time he is injured. Until he can't adapt to the game, of course, Yao Ming may retire before this step.

Hearing that Yao Ming only had two or three years to play, Alexander hesitated. If Yao Ming could play for another four or five years, it would be worth a shot. He believed that if he came forward in person, Thomas Clanton and It is not a problem for Yao Ming to give in each other.

However, after hearing Thomas Clanton's words, he hesitated. Yao Ming, who has only two or three years of professional life and is still in decline, is not worth winning. Thomas Clanton's words may be exaggerated. But Yao Ming's physical problems do exist.

Doing business requires forward-looking. It will be too late to make plans until Yao Ming really has to retire. Yao Ming can certainly bring benefits to himself, but compared to the long-term consideration of a team, there is no player that cannot be discarded. .

But when he asked for Daryl Morey's opinion, Daryl Morey said cautiously that for the current Rockets, Yao Ming is still irreplaceable, and now there is such a shortage of inside players, There is no need to self-destruct the Great Wall.

Because if you choose to give up Yao Ming, it will definitely be a traumatic blow to the Rockets, and what Thomas Clanton said was only the worst possibility, and did not consider the possibility of Yao Ming recovering from his injury.

Of course, if you think about it in the long run, it is understandable to choose to rebuild when the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady obviously cannot go higher. It is obvious that Yao Ming's transaction value is far greater than McGrady. It's also a good plan to sell him before he has trade value.

Alexander doesn't need a positive answer from Dalley Morey. It's normal for him to make suggestions like this for his own choice. If it were Mike Dawson, he would definitely object without saying anything, so here On the matter, he did not intend to listen to Mike Dawson's opinion.

However, he also told Daryl Morey that since the other party took the initiative to contact the team, it means that Yao Ming also has the idea of ​​solving this matter. He asked Daryl Morey to negotiate with the other party and not to do more Concession, if you really can't make a breakthrough, you can tell the other party and ask Yao Ming to make a call for yourself.

Alexander is a person who pays great attention to the difference between top and bottom. No matter how important the player is, he will not take the initiative to call the player. Including the head coach, he only contacts the president and general manager of the team.

Accepting the boss's personal instructions, although I feel a little regretful, but Daryl Morey also knows that whoever eats is in charge of whoever eats. No matter how Yao Ming is a player who has not been seen in decades, the boss is not willing to take it. There is no way.

At this time, he accepted Bill Duffy's appointment, and then met Bill Duffy in his own office. Although Bill Duffy was dissatisfied with this, he had no choice.

The two completed all the negotiations in a very friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere. Although they said it was calm and without any fireworks, in fact it was a war of words.

In layman's terms, Daryl Morey said to Bill Duffy: "You must undergo surgical treatment, determined by the team's rules and the contract between the two parties, and you must accept our treatment opinions."

Bill Duffy told Daryl Morey: "We don't think that's a reasonable approach. We need better treatments. We have the freedom to decide how to treat them."

Daryl Morey shrugged. In fact, this is the key point. According to the contract, the other party has the freedom to choose the time and method of treatment, but the specific method must be approved by the team doctor. Only with the permission of the team doctor can he be treated. .

Now the problem lies with Yao Ming and Thomas Cranton, neither of them are willing to change their positions. As a result, it is very difficult for the team to make a decision and must stand on one side.

"According to the regulations, without the permission of the team doctor, even if the team recovers well, they cannot participate in the game." The Americans value the regulations more than anything else. On Yao Ming's side, the team doctor could naturally be fired, but it seems that the Rockets obviously don't intend to do that.

"Even if this is the case, I believe that we are not the only ones who suffer the most." Bill Duffy said very easily. No matter what, Yao Ming's salary is guaranteed. If the Rockets violate the regulations and refuse to pay However, the players union's huge team of lawyers is not something they can afford.

"If that's the case, the team will have to make another decision." Darryl didn't say anything, and Bill Duffy must have known it well. Since he had already made enough mental preparations before coming, Bill Duffy was very upset. Said lightly: "Very well, this is our choice too." Bill Duffy was about to get up and leave when Daryl Morey said to him suddenly: "Please tell Yao Ming that Mr. Alexander hopes that he can call him A phone call."

"I don't think it's necessary. As an agent, I have to stop this kind of behavior. If you have any opinions, you can communicate with me." Bill Duffy knew Alexander's idea very well. Didn't it just feel that Yao Ming had a gentle personality and was easy to talk? Based on the habits of the Chinese people, he directly rejected this possibility with the idea of ​​touching people with emotion.

Darryl Morey didn't say anything, he knew what the boss was planning, but he also believed that it was no longer Yao Ming's decision alone, including his parents and his management team, all had their own decisions. idea.

Bill Duffy went back to talk to Yao Ming about the result of the negotiation. Even though he was mentally prepared, Yao Ming still looked very sad. It seemed that he was really going to leave the city. For Alexander who asked Yao Ming to call Asked, Bill Duffy also said, Yao Ming pondered for a moment, did not say anything, since it has reached this point, it is useless to say anything, since Daryl Morey dared to say that, it was naturally after Alexander agreed.

Now that the two sides have talked about it, there is nothing to say. Bill Duffy is still not optimistic about Yao Ming going to the Seattle SuperSonics. He still hopes that Yao Ming can go to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course, if he can go to Boston Kyle Teams like the Specials are no problem either.

Yao Ming himself doesn't want to go to those poor teams, he wants to go to a team that can attack the championship, so among the strong teams in the league, these two teams are likely to reach a deal. Some teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs are not suitable, and the Rockets will not trade Yao Ming to these teams, including the Seattle SuperSonics.

Without further ado, all the teams are now preparing for the battle in full swing. Although Yao Ming cannot play after the trade, the lineup can always be determined, so Bill Duffy left immediately and came to Cleveland.

The two sides naturally hit it off, and at the same time notified LeBron James, LeBron James is naturally very happy, he has had enough of supporting a team by himself, and he is unwilling to get further and further away from the championship. Although injured, he is still a top insider player in the league and is worth a shot, so he quickly stood up and expressed his welcome to Yao Ming.

I ran to the toilet eight times last night, and my waist felt like it was about to break. I couldn’t sit or lie down. I also had a fever and shoulder pain. I rushed to the same place. I tried my best to update a chapter first. If there is no night, please don’t complain.
