Chapter 829 A Heavy Sense of Mission

Although basically in the state of being reimbursed for the season due to injury, Yao Ming still stayed in Houston.

Yao Ming stayed here not only to recover his body better, but also to complete the meeting with Lan Shengli.

The two Chinese who are the most popular in the NBA today met at Yao Restaurant and chatted freely.

After a while of teasing, Yao Ming brought up the topic of Chinese basketball in a very serious tone.

"As the same basketball elite, I hope you can contribute to Chinese basketball together like me~!"

Yao Ming's words made Lan Shengli "nervous" instantly.

"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~!!"

Lan Shengli responded confidently.

Seeing Lan Shengli's statement, Yao Ming immediately expressed his support for Lan Shengli to take over the position of head coach of the men's basketball team left by Jonas.

Lan Shengli was clearly flustered by Yao Ming's sudden suggestion.

As an NBA head coach, Lan Shengli already finds it incredible. If he can coach the national team, it will be an honor~
"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.

"Dayao, from your tone, you shouldn't be joking with me. I really didn't expect that you came to me for this matter~ It really surprised me~!"

Lan Shengli was still talking in a state of "undecided shock".

"Although you and Guo Shiqiang belong to the young coaches, you still have fundamental differences. You started the basketball road in the United States, and the basketball knowledge and coaching philosophy you received are more advanced~!!"

Yao Ming praised it.

"And today's Chinese team, like the Clippers, is in the process of rebuilding. If you can match the Clippers with the players who completed the rebuilding so quickly, I believe you can also help the Chinese team complete the rebuilding process." ~!!"

Yao Ming continued talking.

"First of all, I am very grateful to Dayao for your recognition. I have never been in contact with Chinese basketball, and I have never been in contact with the national team, so you suddenly came up with such an idea, which made me really panic. If there is a chance in the future If so, I think I’m willing to give it a try, but for now, I don’t think I really have that much energy to apply for the head coach of the national team, I’m really sorry~!!”

Lan Shengli responded.

"It's okay, I told you about this, and I didn't say that you agreed to me immediately, I just want you to know that there is such a situation~!! I want you to know that the Basketball Association is very concerned about you~ !!"

Yao Ming responded.

"The Basketball Association pays close attention to me~?! Is it true~?!"

Lan Shengli's eyes widened, he looked at Yao Ming with a very puzzled look, and asked.

"Of course, since you became a video analyst at UCLA, the Basketball Association has sent people to the United States to inquire about your situation, because you hadn't come to work in front of the stage at that time, so there was no More on that later, but you soon became the head coach of the NBA, which made the Basketball Association more interested in you, so they found me, and I hope to let you know about this situation through me~!!"

Yao Ming explained.

"Oh, that's how it is~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Because the national team has not had any particularly important games recently, the Basketball Association's coaching work is not in a hurry. The Basketball Association very much hopes that you can consider this matter carefully. Next year's Asian Games and World Championships are a node. There is the next Asian Championships, which is a ticket-grabbing event for the London Olympics~!!"

Yao Ming continued talking.

"I heard that I suddenly had a heavy sense of mission, haha~!! I really didn't expect the Basketball Association to value me so much. It may be more glorious to represent the national team than to coach an NBA team. But I think from the current point of view, I should focus on the present. I am really not sure whether I can lead the national team well, because this matter is related to the interests of Chinese basketball, and it has a lot to do with it, so I must use the most serious Just face it with an attitude~!"

Lan Shengli frowned and said with a serious expression.

"Okay, think about it carefully. The Basketball Association is not in a hurry to ask you to give an answer, but I think this is an excellent opportunity for you~!! You must cherish it and think about it~ !!"

Yao Ming nodded and said.

"Hmm~!! I will~"

Lan Shengli also nodded in response.

The two continued to chat,

"It's getting late, I have to go back~!"

Lan Shengli looked at his watch, said, and stood up.

"Okay, don't talk to anyone about the content of our conversation after you go back. This is something that belongs to Chinese basketball. This is a secret that belongs to Chinese basketball. It has nothing to do with those Americans~!!"

Yao Ming reminded.

"Well, I see, don't worry, Dayao~!!"

Lan Shengli stood up, patted Yao Ming on the shoulder, and said.

Or only when Lan Shengli was standing and Yao Ming was sitting, could Lan Shengli touch his shoulder.

"Prepare for the game tonight, I don't know who to cheer for now~"

Yao Ming also stood up, grinning and talking.

"Oh my god, this is really the number one center in the NBA~!!!"

Lan Shengli raised his head abruptly, looked at Yao Ming as if looking at a skyscraper, and sighed.

"Praise me and I won't support the Clippers~!!"

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

"Haha~!!!"

Lan Shengli laughed, and the first meeting between the two ended in this relaxed atmosphere.

"You can match the Clippers with the players who completed the reconstruction so quickly, I believe you can also help the Chinese team complete the reconstruction~!!"

"Since you became a video analyst at UCLA, the Basketball Association has sent people to the United States to inquire about your situation. After that, you soon became the head coach of the NBA, which made the Basketball Association even more interested in you. Already~!!"

On the way back to the Toyota Center, Lan Shengli thought about what Yao Ming said before.

"The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team~, my God, what an amazing position it is~!!!"

Thinking about it, Lan Shengli couldn't help sighing secretly.

"Although I really want to play for the country, but with my current ability, can I really lead a national team~?!"

Lan Shengli asked himself.
