Chapter 827 Yao Restaurant (Part [-])
"We're going to set off when everyone is ready~!"

At [-]:[-] a.m. local time in Dallas, Lan Shengli shouted after seeing the assistant coach finish counting the number of people.

The bus rented by the team quickly left the hotel and headed to Houston, the next stop of the Texas road trip, the space city.

Although it was only an hour and a half by car, Lan Shengli was still sitting in the car and watching the video of the previous Rockets game with his laptop.

Lan Shengli, who has worked as a video analyst, can always find some ways to win in the game video.

However, the other team members leaned back and forth on their seats, as if they were not awake.

After all, last night's game consumed too much energy, especially the main players.

Maybe a player like Harden has more physical reserves.

Soon, the Clippers' bus arrived at the Rockets' home court - the Toyota Center.

It seems that the Clippers are about to get off the car and start training~

"Hey~!! I'm back in my hometown~!! Kind~!!!"

Little Jordan, who got out of the car, looked up at the blue sky and the surrounding environment, and couldn't help sighing.

As a native of Houston, it is not surprising that Jordan can have such emotion.

Soon, the Clippers team entered the Toyota Center.

"Everyone, let's do a simple warm-up first in the morning to recover and exercise your muscles and bones without too much intensity. If you have an injury, just do a simple treatment~!"

After coming to the field here, Lan Shengli arranged it.

"Coach Blue, someone from the Rockets is looking for you~"

Just when Lan Shengli was about to discuss tactics with the assistant coach, the team entourage suddenly found Lan Shengli and said.

"Team Rocket~?!, who~?!"

Lan Shengli asked suspiciously.

"Your compatriot, Rockets center, Yao Ming~!"

The staff responded.

"Yao Ming~?! Oh my God~!!, how did Yao Ming suddenly find me~?!, this caught me off guard~!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli responded with excitement and surprise.

"I don't know too well, maybe I want to talk to you about the story of your motherland~"

The staff sighed.

"Oh, ok, then I get it~"

Lan Shengli nodded thoughtfully and said.

"By the way, what else did the other party say~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"Oh, by the way, I said that I hope to meet at Yao Restaurant, and that this time it's private~!!"

The staff thought for a while and added.

"Yao Restaurant, it is the restaurant opened by Yao Ming, haha, it is really an honor to have lunch with a legendary figure like Yao Ming, okay, I see, tell the other party, I will be there at 12:30 noon~ !!"

Lan Shengli said.

Upon hearing this, the staff nodded, then turned and left.

"Yao Ming looking for me~?! Haha~!! It's really unexpected~!"

Lan Shengli shook his head, thinking and sighing.

After all, there are not many Chinese working hard in the NBA today.

Two players, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and the head coach Lan Shengli.

While training, Lan Shengli looked at his watch, afraid that the time would pass.

"Everyone, take a good rest at noon and take a nap~!! Just don't oversleep, then gather in the locker room and prepare for the final pre-match preparation meeting and pre-match training~"

At the end of the morning training, Lan Shengli said to the players.

After speaking, Lan Shengli quickly left.

"What's wrong with Coach Blue~?! Why are you in such a hurry~?!"

Seeing this, Little Jordan became puzzled.

"Maybe it hurt my stomach~!"

Hill on the side spoke in a mocking tone.

It can be heard that the team members are still very relaxed.

While talking here, Lan Shengli has already arrived at Yao Restaurant.

Although this is a restaurant with American food, but when you walk into the restaurant, it is full of Chinese elements and Rockets elements.

Yao Ming's various signed jerseys, sneakers, photos, teammates, and celebrities from all walks of life are displayed in the most obvious positions.

It can be seen that Yao Ming has great influence in Houston and the United States.

And like the red lanterns, window grilles and paper-cutting, they all make you feel a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

So the "big red" atmosphere created by the entire restaurant is full of Rockets elements.

A Rockets documentary is being played on a large TV above the bar, indicating another label here—a gathering place for Rockets fans.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lan Shengli seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here.

After all, this was Lan Shengli's first visit to Yao Restaurant.

"Coach Bruce, Boss Yao is waiting for you inside~!! Come with me~!"

Here, a Chinese lady dressed as a waiter said suddenly to Lan Shengli.

"Oh, good~!!"

Upon seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately nodded and said.

"Why does it feel like I'm doing an underground transaction~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

Soon, Lan Shengli came to a private room near the back kitchen at the back of the restaurant.

"Please~!!"

The waiter opened the door and said.

"Okay, thank you~!"

Lan Shengli nodded and said, and walked in immediately.

"I like dealing with people who are punctual ~!"

Yao Ming, who was dressed in Reebok sportswear, was sitting at the dining table, turned his head, looked at Lan Shengli who walked in, and said with that "smile like an emoji pack".

"Haha~!! Seems like it's a minute late~"

Lan Shengli smiled naively, looked at his watch, and said.

The way Lan Shengli looked at Yao Ming was like a fan seeing an idol.

"Sit down~"

As Yao Ming spoke, Lan Shengli quickly took his seat.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered some~"

Yao Ming looked at the food on the table and said.

"It's okay, I'm not too hungry, just take a bite~!"

Lan Shengli shook his head, still talking with a smile on his face.

"Should I call you Boss Yao, or..."

Lan Shengli looked at Yao Ming with some embarrassment and asked.

"Just call me Dayao, that's what everyone in the circle calls me~"

Yao Ming responded.

"Okay, Dayao, it's really an honor to meet you, you are the pride of us Chinese, and also the role model and benchmark for our younger generations to challenge the NBA~!!"

Lan Shengli immediately said flatteringly.

"Why does it feel like you are also a player~?! And it seems that you should be older than me~?!"

Yao Ming continued to speak with his unique "Yao style humor".

"Haha, it seems that I am indeed older than you, but in terms of qualifications in the NBA, you must be my senior~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Although they all play in the NBA, players and coaches are still two different things after all~!!!"

Yao Ming responded.
