Double probe

Chapter 54 Conversations on Douglasville

Yang Fei nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, but your performance today is still very good. I saw your performance and I think it is a wise choice to bring you to the United States, to Houston, to the Rockets , but I hope you can improve your abilities more and strive for more room for development in the future."

Douglasville nodded and said: "I know, I will definitely work hard to hone myself. I will definitely prove that I have the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA."

Yang Fei smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations on completing the first milestone of your NBA career."

Douglasville also extended his hand and said, "Thank you."

The three of them were standing at the door chatting, and Sasha Williams also came out of the villa and asked, "Do you still want to come in?" The three of Yang Fei looked at each other and laughed.

Silent all night.

The next day, after Yang Fei got up, he didn't sit on the sofa in the living room and read novels like every day, but came directly to the arena. When he opened the door, he saw Rudy Fields and Douglasville. One person was shirtless and was training profusely on the court. When the two saw Yang Fei walking in, they stopped training and walked to Yang Fei. Yang Fei smiled and waved his hands: "You train yours, Don't worry about me, I'm just here to take a look." The two didn't speak, they nodded and returned to the court to continue training.

Yang Fei stood on the sidelines like this, watching the two of them train hard, and he suddenly felt that the future of the Rockets would fall on the shoulders of the two of them.

Yang Fei looked at it for a while, then turned around and went out. Back in the villa, Yang Fei went straight into the kitchen and started making breakfast. Just halfway through, Rudy Fields and Douglasville came back, and Yang Fei turned his head He said to the two people in the living room: "Go wash up first! Then come down and have breakfast."

Yang Fei quickly finished his breakfast, and just as Rudy Fields came down from the stairs, Yang Fei said, "Eat quickly!"

After eating breakfast, Yang Fei received a call from Daryl Morey, saying that he had something to discuss with him. After the two made an appointment to meet in the office, Yang Fei told Sasha Williams and went out.

Yang Fei drove to the office area soon, walked into Daryl Morey's office, and said, "Morning! Darryl, what do you have to meet before talking about it?"

Darryl Morey got up and motioned for Yang Fei to sit down first, poured two cups of coffee by himself, put one in front of Yang Fei, took a sip of the other and said, "Yang, do you think our new signing named Douglasville How is the young man?"

Yang Fei frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why do you ask such a question?"

Daryl Morey said: "It's nothing, you just think we are chatting."

Yang Fei said: "I went to watch Douglasville's first game with the Rockets yesterday. I think that although he left the field with the last six fouls, his performance is remarkable."

Darryl Morey nodded and signaled Yang Fei to continue. Yang Fei continued: "He has a lot of fouls, which explains two reasons. First, he is inexperienced, which is for sure. No one would He played very well in the first game of his rookie season, and the second shows that he is active in defense, and three of the six fouls were fouls in cover defense, which shows that he has a good awareness of assisting defense and works hard enough."

Daryl Morey nodded and said: "You're right. Although I wasn't there in yesterday's game, I watched the video at night. As you said, he played very hard. I Asked members of the coaching staff, they gave him a very high opinion, the reason I asked you here today is because of Douglasville, I can see that he has potential, although he signed a two-year contract, although these two The contracts are non-guaranteed, and I'm debating whether to convert his two-year contract to a partially guaranteed contract. You also know that as Chris Paul gets older, he will need to take more and more games. And Eric Gordon's body will have some minor problems from time to time. We really need a defender now. In yesterday's game, I think maybe we can use the young man Douglasville to try. Even if he doesn't work, we There's still time to find it."

Yang Fei lowered his head, pondered for a while and said: "Personally, I believe in my vision. After all, he is a player I discovered and recruited. I think he has this ability. From the team's perspective, I think he has the potential to be a good guard, even if he is in the worst situation, we can develop him into the next Patrick Beverley, a Patrick Beverley with incredible speed."

Daryl Morey thought for a while and asked, "You mean you agree to convert his contract to a partially guaranteed contract?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said: "No, not yet, because the team's salary pressure is very high now, so as long as it is converted to a guaranteed contract, it will involve salary issues, so there is no need to re-sign the contract, we all need to observe a few more times. If he is really good, we will not be too late, and we can even sign for a few more years, so that we can guarantee the flexibility of the team's salary, can't we? You are also a veteran, so you should have already answered these questions Thought about it, right?"

Daryl Morey smiled and said: "Indeed, I have thought about it before, but I need your inference. With your words, I can rest assured. By the way, the team will not have a game tomorrow, and we will Renewing a contract with Rudy, will you be there?"

Yang Fei asked: "Re-sign the contract? Why?"

Daryl Morey said: "Because he was on a two-way two-way contract before, and he has already become a regular before, so I want to re-sign a multi-year contract with him. As for the details of the contract, we have almost discussed with him."

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "That's it! I won't participate in this kind of occasion, right? After all, whether I participate or not doesn't seem to be very important, does it?"

Daryl Morey thought for a while and said, "Okay! By the way, construction of the new gymnasium should start soon. Let's take a look when we have time?"

Yang Fei nodded and said, "Okay! I'm also thinking about having time to take a look!"

Daryl Morey said, "What is this called in your Chinese?"

Yang Fei said: "Heroes see the same thing."

"Yes, yes, that's the sentence! This sentence is so appropriate!" Daryl Morey said.

The two chatted for a while, and Dillman Fertitta also came, walked into the office and sat directly on the sofa, saying, "You two are here today!"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that the boss will check the post?"

Dillman Fertitta smiled and said, "Haha, by the way, I watched the match yesterday. What's the name of that rookie?"

"Douglasville." Yang Fei reminded.

"That's right, that's him, where did he come from?" Dillman Fertitta asked.

"I found it from England, what's the matter? Is there any question?" Yang Fei replied.

"No problem, I think he is very good! Darryl, do you have any plans for him?" Dillman Fertitta said.

Darryl Morey and Yang Fei looked at each other, and then they both laughed. Dillman Fertitta was inexplicably laughed by the two, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Daryl Morey said: "Actually, before you came, the two of us were discussing how to arrange him. He is now signing a two-year non-guaranteed contract. What Yang and I mean is to observe a few more games and see if he If he is a man who can be made, we will convert his contract to a partially guaranteed contract or re-sign a fully guaranteed multi-year contract."

Dillman Fertitta nodded and said, "This is the best arrangement. I originally wanted to inform you to sign him! It turns out that you have already done it. It seems that I am worrying unnecessarily."

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Isn't that why you hired us?"

All three laughed.

The three chatted for a while about the gymnasium, then had a meal together, and then broke up. Yang Fei returned to the villa and saw Steve Mobley and the four of them had returned, so he said: " How did you come back so soon?"

Steve Mobley said: "It doesn't feel like playing without the two of you!"

Ken Dawkins said: "It's not that it's boring to play, it's because we can't worry about things here."

Yang Fei spread his hands and said, "Isn't this all very good?"

Oliver Martin, who was sitting next to Sasha Williams, said: "Actually, we are worried about Sasha, afraid that you will not be able to take care of her! We will all come back, at least someone will take care of us at home, and Paraty is still a doctor. Don't worry! So we discussed it and came back."

Although it was just a few simple words, Yang Fei's heart was warmed by what he said.

Yang Fei nodded and said, "You guys have had a hard journey, so you should have a good rest! I'll go prepare dinner!"
