NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Great! Then let's defeat the Bulls tomorrow and get second in the Western Conference." Sprewell immediately shouted excitedly, his mental state was still high, not at all because he just finished a game And now it is almost early morning and affected.

Van Gundy waved to Sprewell and said: "In the past, because the schedule was too difficult, we had to give up some games, which resulted in our record now only ranked third in the Western Conference.

I don't want to give everyone the illusion that we don't care about the regular season record.

In fact, the results of the regular season are very important to us. It directly determines whether we have home court advantage in the playoffs. I certainly hope that we can enter the playoffs with No.1 results in the regular season. Competing for the championship produces a great boost. "

Van Gundy paused, and then said: "But, on the other hand, I definitely don't want you to put too much psychological pressure on yourself because of your regular season record. Your healthy body and good mental state are more important than your regular season record. important."

"Understood, coach, what you mean is to let us strive for tomorrow's victory on the premise of maintaining physical and mental health, right?" Sprewell said eagerly.

Van Gundy nodded and said: "Yes, tomorrow is the home game, I hope we will not let down the fans who came to support us, we can win the Bulls and get the second place in the Western Conference.

So, sorry, everyone can no longer take turns in back-to-back like before.

But don't worry, I will use everyone's playing time with restraint tomorrow, and I hope everyone can trust me. "

"It's just back to back. We've played too much before. It's no big deal. Coach, don't worry, you don't need to explain anything to us." McGrady said next to him.

Yao Ming also echoed: "Yes, coach. We have been here for so many years. If we want to rest, we just work hard and clock in for three quarters."

Zhang Jinshui and other players also nodded in agreement.

Van Gundy nodded in relief. It was early in the morning. He had just finished a game and had to fly back to Houston overnight.

Van Gundy briefly summarized tonight's game, and called on everyone to applaud Zhang Jinshui, who played the most important role tonight, and then asked the crew to turn off the lights in the cabin, and the whole cabin immediately fell into silence.

Zhang Jinshui leaned on the back of the chair, gradually feeling a little sleepy under the backdrop of the surrounding environment.

A palm suddenly patted his shoulder.

Zhang Jinshui opened his eyes and found that Sprewell was already sitting on the chair next to him. Under the dim light, his eyes stared at him like copper bells.

"What's the matter? Sprewell, what do you need from me?" Zhang Jinshui stretched and sat up straight.

"Zhang Jinshui, your shoes are very nice. Give me a few pairs. I will also wear them in the next game."

"Okay, what size do you wear?" Zhang Jinshui asked.

In addition to the ones on his feet, he also has a brand new pair at hand.

In order to make it easier for Zhang Jinshui to deliver shoes after the game, Zhao Niannian has arranged for Huaguo's factory to produce another 20 pairs, which will be brought to the beautiful country by special personnel in the next few days.

With Sprewell's yardage, Zhang Jinshui only needs to ask Zhao Niannian to let the factory rush to work, and bring them together.

Sprewell's presence on the court is no less than that of a superstar. He wears a "bow", which is actually tantamount to promoting Zhang Jinshui's sneakers.

"Forty-seven yards," Sprewell said.

"No problem, I'll let Tai Chi directly help you get 10 pairs." Zhang Jinshui waved his hand boldly.

"In addition, my two nephews are your loyal fans. They also want to have your shoes. They are the same height as you, and their feet should be the same size. Can you give them two pairs from you? By the way sign it?"

"No problem! But I don't have any on hand right now. I'll tell Taiji that when they replenish the stock, I'll give you yours and your nephew's."

"Okay, then it's a deal, don't go back on your word."

"What is there to regret?" Zhang Jinshui looked at Sprewell in surprise.

The other party smiled "hehe", blinked his eyes, and said, "Just don't regret it anyway." Then, he got up and left.

Zhang Jinshui felt strange in his heart, but the tiredness on his body hadn't dissipated, it was just a few pairs of shoes anyway, he was too lazy to study further, and leaned on the back of the chair again.

In the gloomy and quiet atmosphere around, Zhang Jinshui gradually lost consciousness again.

......

When Zhang Jinshui regained consciousness again, the plane that had just landed was gradually slowing down amid the turbulence of the airport runway.

Zhang Jinshui took a deep breath and exhaled, then raised his hands and stretched vigorously.

Picking up the phone to check, it is already 01:30 in the morning.

When the plane stopped, Zhang Jinshui stood up and lined up with his teammates towards the hatch.

"Zhang Jinshui, is there someone to pick you up? How about I take you home? If you take the team bus, you have to drop them off one by one. It's a waste of time." Yao Ming, who was walking behind Zhang Jinshui, asked.

Like many other Rockets players, Yao Ming parked his car in the parking lot of the airport when he came to the airport yesterday. Now that he comes back by plane, he can drive home directly. He knows that Zhang Jinshui can't drive.

"No need, I'll take the team bus." Zhang Jinshui shook his head and said.

Yao Ming lived far away from their home. Although Yao Ming could save him a lot of time by sending him off, Yao Ming would have to go home at least 20 minutes late.

Yao Ming still wanted to insist, but Zhang Jinshui directly rejected him, and ran out of the pick-up gate first with his luggage.

Zhang Jinshui originally wanted to get on the team bus, but he didn't expect to see a very familiar figure in the empty reception hall, Zi Chunlin!

Zi Chunlin obviously ran out of the house temporarily in the middle of the night, wearing white pajama pants that Zhang Jinshui was familiar with on his legs, and fluffy shoes on his feet.

Fortunately, with the lessons learned from being shivering in the cold when picking up the airport late at night, she wore a dark blue thick down long coat, her plain face was wrapped in a down hat, and she still showed Zhang Jinshui's shocking beauty. Heart-pounding beauty.

"Zi Chunlin, why are you here?" Zhang Jinshui rushed over in surprise, and picked up Zi Chunlin, who was bloated like a fat porcelain doll, from the ground.

After the Grizzlies game, Zi Chunlin once sent a text message asking him if he wanted to go back to Houston tonight.

Because Zhang Jinshui didn't want to affect Zi Chunlin's work and rest, he deliberately said that he would spend the night in Memphis tonight, but unexpectedly, the other party still appeared here.

Zi Chunlin's pretty face was immediately smeared with a layer of pink, but she did not struggle, but let Zhang Jinshui hug her, and said angrily: "I feel strange when I receive your text message, if I go back to Houston tomorrow , Wouldn't it be dragging the journey all the way to face the bull exhausted.

So, I sent a special message to ask Sen, sure enough, you are lying to me! "

"Hehe, it's not that I don't want you to worry about me." Zhang Jinshui smiled, hugged Zi Chunlin's "chubby" body and walked out of the pick-up hall.

Zi Chunlin slapped Zhang Jinshui on the shoulder hard, and said angrily, "Damn it, if your teammates see it, you will be laughed at again."

Zhang Jinshui was about to quibble, when an ignorant voice came from not far behind.

"Zhang Jinshui, I'm sorry, I accidentally exposed our itinerary to go back to Houston tonight, so you didn't have a chance to go out to fool around tonight, sorry, sorry."

Immediately, like a frightened deer, Zi Chunlin struggled to get up straight from Zhang Jinshui's arms, and rushed out of the reception hall without looking back.

Zhang Jinshui turned his head, and it was Dawson who had demolished Zhang Jinshui's platform today, and he and McGrady and Sprewell beside him were showing gloating expressions.

You don't need to think about it, it must be that McGrady told Dawson that Zi Chunlin's skin is very thin, and then fooled Dawson to stimulate Zi Chunlin.

Zhang Jinshui raised a middle finger at the three of them bitterly, and shouted: "Dawson, please ask another master for the preface of your book, I can't write it for you."

After speaking, he ignored the laughter of the three and rushed towards the door without turning his head.

When he got in the car, Zhang Jinshui saw that Zi Chunlin had pulled off the hood of his down jacket, his beautiful little face was flushed like a ripe red apple, and he couldn't help but want to go up and take a bite.

As if she had sensed Zhang Jinshui's bad intentions, Zi Chunlin's eyes became more shy, and she gave Zhang Jinshui a "fierce" look, and said, "Don't have bad thoughts."

Then he stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

Zhang Jinshui laughed awkwardly, remembering that Sprewell asked him for shoes, and said to Zi Chunlin: "Didn't you say last time that Tai Chi has made a new batch of bows for me, and I will send them to you soon?" Come here? Can you say hello to Zhao Niannian and ask Tai Chi to make another 10 pairs of shoes in size 47, and then send them to the beautiful country together?"

"Why do you need 10 pairs of size 47?" Zi Chunlin asked curiously.

After Zhang Jinshui told the ins and outs of Sprewell asking him for shoes on the plane back, Zi Chunlin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you give Sprewell 10 pairs of shoes, after all, Sprewell Wearing shoes on the court is also helping us to promote. But your two signed pairs of original size shoes are probably going to make Sprewell's two nephews a lot of money."

Zhang Jinshui was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "I've made a lot of money, what do you mean?"

Zi Chunlin drove away from the airport road to the highway for a year, and asked: "Internet websites in the United States have become very popular in the past two years. There is a website called Yibei. Have you heard of it?"

Zhang Jinshui certainly knows this name, and he also knows that in the near future, this website that once occupied more than half of the e-commerce field in the world will be beaten up by Amazon and Baotao.

But at this point in 2005, eBay was still a unicorn.

Zhang Jinshui nodded and said, "I've heard of it. It seems to be a company that sells books, DVDs and other products through the Internet. I heard that the number of users is very large, which is quite powerful."

"Yes, it's this company." Zi Chunlin nodded and said, "In addition to selling things directly, this company also has a very important business, which is to display products directly on the Internet and mark them as The reserve price is set for all users who have paid the security deposit to bid.”

Zhang Jinshui's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be that after the game against the Suns, the pair of shoes I gave to the little girl on the sidelines were auctioned on eBay?"

"Smart." Zi Chunlin turned his head to look at Zhang Jinshui, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a smile like a flower, and asked, "Then guess how much the bidding for that pair of shoes went?"

Zhang Jinshui pondered for a while, and said, "Nowadays, the asking price for a pair of ordinary basketball shoes is 120 to 150 beautiful national currency. Since you ask me this way, the bidding price for my pair of shoes must be much higher than that of ordinary shoes." .Then I guess at least 3...500 Meili, no, maybe 800 Meili.

Zhang Jinshui's guess is quite bold, 800 beautiful national currency is 5600 Hua national currency.

In the last life, Zhang Jinshui once saw in news reports that around 2020 there was a wave of shoe speculation, and the price of some shoes was raised to [-] or even tens of thousands of Chinese dollars.

But after all, it was 15 years after the inflation was many times. In 2005, 5600 Hua Guoyuan was definitely not a small amount.

"It's still too late to guess." Zi Chunlin said with a smile, and then pointed his index finger to Zhang Jinshui.

"1000 beautiful national currency, is that an exaggeration?"

"No, 10000 beautiful national currency!"

Hearing this unthinkable, Zhang Jinshui lost his voice: "Damn it, the person who paid this price must have lost his mind and gone crazy, right?"

"Don't scold your fans like that." Zi Chunlin laughed and said, "And now on the eBay forum, many people are asking for this pair of shoes, brand new shoes, no matter what size, at least 3000 beautiful countries more than a dime. Now you see why I said Sprewell's two nephews made a lot of money."

If a pair of ordinary ones costs 3000 Meili national currency, then the signed one must be even more expensive.

At this time, Zhang Jinshui recalled the weird expression of Sprewell telling himself on the plane just now, "It's a deal, no regrets." He just felt that this old boy must have known the value of these shoes before asking him for it. of.

With Sprewell's net worth, he naturally wouldn't care about this little money, but he must have the capital to act aggressively in front of his nephew.

"Forget it, let him do it, just a few pairs of shoes." Zhang Jinshui shook his head with a smile.

At this time, their car finally stopped at the door of their house, watching Zi Chunlin pull the seat belt off his bumpy chest, his beautiful pretty face flickered under the dim lights in the car , Zhang Jinshui accidentally reached out and held Zi Chunlin's soft and boneless hand: "Zi Chunlin, can we not get out of the car first?"

Zi Chunlin's pretty face was immediately covered with rosy clouds. She shook her hand lightly, but found that she couldn't break free, and didn't make any other movements. She bit her pink lips lightly with her snow-white teeth, and said softly: "What do you want?"
