Chapter 828 Yao Restaurant (Part [-])
The Houston Rockets selected center Yao Ming from China with the No. 2002 pick in the [-] NBA Draft.

Yao Ming became the first international champion in NBA history.

Since then, he has embarked on the NBA journey.

During his several years of NBA career, Yao Ming has been questioned and criticized, and because of Yao Ming's outstanding performance, he has received a lot of praise~.

Yao Ming has become a first-class center in the NBA and a top player in the league.

It has become the pride of the Chinese, the pride of Asia, and the pride of the entire yellow race.

Although Yao Ming was unable to return to the game in a short period of time due to injury, there is no doubt that Yao Ming's current achievements and influence in the United States have allowed him to have a legendary career, which has already made him legendary enough.

Also having such a legendary color is Lan Shengli.

The first head coach from China and the first Asian head coach in NBA history. Although his career has just started and he won his first win in his coaching career, looking back at Lan Shengli's experience in the past two years, he is definitely full of legendary color.

Today, these two legendary figures met in Houston, at "Yao Restaurant".

"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~!!"

After meeting, Lan Shengli immediately admired him.

"Let's chat while eating, don't you worry~?!"

Yao Ming asked while eating.

"No hurry, no hurry, it's lunch break anyway, it's okay~, and it's very close to the Toyota Center~"

Lan Shengli ate a cherry and said.

"Dayao, you are not sent by Team Rocket to investigate the enemy's situation~!?"

Lan Shengli also gradually relaxed, and asked jokingly.

"Haha, I actually sent you information~!"

Yao Ming continued to show his "emoji-like smile" and said.

"Haha~, then I have to treat you to this meal~!"

Lan Shengli also responded with a smile.

The way the two of them speak is very humorous, so they can be regarded as chatting, and the whole conversation feels like a cross talk.

It didn't feel like the first time we met.

"Haha, I won't be polite~"

Yao Ming still responded with a smile.

"Let's be serious, how is the strength of the legs recovering~?!"

Here, Lan Shengli calmed down, looked at Yao Ming, and asked.

"It's all old injuries, it must be very slow to recover, and I probably won't be able to play this season~!!"

Yao Ming shrugged and said in a helpless tone.

"Sometimes the biggest enemy of a player is really injuries~, hey~"

Lan Shengli sighed and sighed.

"Yeah, if you didn't get injured in the playoffs last season, really, you should understand~"

Yao Ming responded.

"Hmm~!! I understand~!!"

Lan Shengli immediately nodded and responded.

"Tell me about you, I watched the game last night, it was really amazing to be able to reverse the game at home for the Mavericks~!!"

Yao Ming suddenly admired.

"Although the game is played by the players, but you can let the No. [-] pick sit on the bench and double-team Nowitzki all the time. It's really courageous~!!"

Yao Ming continued talking.

"Maybe it's called laymen to watch the excitement, and experts to watch the way, haha~!! Dayao, you really know how to play~!"

Lan Shengli sighed with a smile.

"So do you have any preparations for tonight's game~?!"

Yao Ming continued to ask.

"Dayao, you came to me suddenly, don't you really want to investigate the enemy's situation~?!"

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he immediately questioned him.

"Haha, you're thinking too much, I'm just asking casually, I'm sure you won't want to tell the truth~!!"

Yao Ming smiled emotionally and said.

"Then there must be something wrong with you looking for me. Based on what I know about Yao Ming, he is a very pragmatic person. If there is no other matter, he will not find me~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Since you said that, then I'll get right to the point. I'm looking for you to have a meal. I just want to get to know you formally. After all, we are both Chinese and have worked hard in the NBA. There are too many things in common between the two of us." Already~!!"

Yao Ming said.

"Yeah, actually, I've always wanted to know you, Dayao, even when I was teaching at Berkeley, I thought so. You are the greatest pride of us Chinese in the United States~!"

Lan Shengli continued to compliment.

"You also have the potential to be proud of others~!!"

Yao Ming also praised it.

"You also know that I have always been very concerned about Chinese basketball, the development of Chinese basketball, the performance of the Chinese team in international competitions, and the basketball education of young people. As an elite in the basketball world, I hope you can be like me, Let’s do our part for Chinese basketball~!!!”

Yao Ming said in a solemn tone, it seems that he has officially entered the "business" link.

"Of course, I would be very happy if I could contribute to the development of the basketball cause of my motherland~!! That is my honor, and it is also my duty as a Chinese~!! I have a duty to do it~!!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli immediately spoke in a very confident tone.

"Okay, I'm really touched that you can think that way. Now that you've said that, I think I'll tell you directly~"

As Yao Ming spoke, it seemed that he was going to say the most important thing.

Lan Shengli nodded and listened very seriously.

"Perhaps you also know that after the end of the BJ Olympics last year, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yunus, has automatically resigned after his contract expired, and because of my physical condition, it will be difficult to represent the Chinese team in intercontinental competitions in the future. Therefore, the Chinese men's basketball team is now facing a stage of replacement between the old and the new, and a new generation ~!!"

Yao Ming said in a serious state.

"Since it is a new generation, not only the players have to be changed, but also the coaching staff. We tried Guo Shiqiang, who was the assistant coach of the men's basketball team under Jonas, as the head coach of the men's basketball team, but the team lost to Tianjin in the summer. Guo Shiqiang is about to be dismissed, so the position of head coach of the men's basketball team is vacant at this stage~!! So I think~"

Yao Ming looked at Lan Shengli with eager eyes and said, which made Lan Shengli panic.

"Dayao, you, don't you want me to be the head coach of the men's basketball team~?!"

Lan Shengli looked a little unbelievable, grinned, and asked.

"Yes, I do have this idea, but I don't know what you think~?!"

Yao Ming nodded and said.

"Don't be nervous. After all, I'm not the chairman of the Basketball Association, nor an official of the Basketball Association. My words don't carry much weight, but I think that with your current momentum and your coaching style, it's very suitable for today's men's basketball team~"

Yao Ming continued to add.
