NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

The next day, when Zhang Jinshui woke up, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

He opened his arms and stretched, only feeling full of strength all over his body.

It's good to be young, you only need to sleep well, and you can squeeze out all the tiredness caused by the fierce battle all night from your body.

The muscle memory from the previous life made Zhang Jinshui habitually pick up the phone immediately.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoman's text message, he guessed that his sister should have seen news reports about him playing in the NBA in Huaguo, so he couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

With his elder brother, Zhang Xiaoman, a little girl who always looks like she is wronged and slaughtered, no one should dare to bully her in the future.

I don't know if it's because the fusion of soul and body is getting closer, Zhang Jinshui is also more and more concerned about the sister of the original owner of this body, and he has taken it for granted that she is his only blood relative in this world.

The life experience of the two brothers and sisters is really pitiful. They were abandoned by their parents since they were young, and they depended on each other in the orphanage.

Zhang Jinshui was relatively lucky. He was selected by the sports school at the age of 14 and left the orphanage first.

Zhang Xiaoman, who is one year younger than Zhang Jinshui, left the orphanage when he turned 1 earlier this year and started earning money to support himself.

There is a 14-hour time difference between Houston and Huaguo. It is early morning Huaguo time, and Xiaoman should have gone to bed.

Zhang Jinshui thought about it and decided to call the other party again tonight.

He went downstairs and found that Zi Chunlin had gone out, but the prepared breakfast was placed in the warmer.

Two fried eggs with butter, a full bowl of vegetable salad, and a large piece of steak.

There is still a note on the cabinet, with the familiar words.

"Jin Shui, the milk needs to be warmed up before you can drink it. I will bring back lunch at noon and pick you up to the rocket base."

Zhang Jinshui put the note on his nose, smelling the unique faint fragrance of Zi Chunlin from above, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Since the two of them moved into this big house, as long as they stayed here overnight, Zi Chunlin would definitely help him cook a hearty breakfast the next morning.

Zhang Jinshui had already taken it for granted.

It wasn't until Zi Qiuli mentioned this matter inadvertently once, and saw the other party's fussy expression, that Zhang Jinshui knew that Zi Chunlin, who was admired by the stars at home since he was a child, and whose ten fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui, had silently paid for him. so many.

After breakfast, Zhang Jinshui practiced basic skills for a while on the basketball court in the backyard.

Time soon came to noon, and Zi Chunlin, carrying two big lunch boxes in his hand, returned home in a hurry.

While eating, Zi Chunlin said to Zhang Jinshui:

"Jin Shui, this afternoon I will hold separate meetings with the commercial representatives of Hook and Three Grass to re-discuss the endorsement contract they offered you.

Now it seems that it is a very wise behavior not to choose between them in advance.

After yesterday's game against the Heat, your attention has increased a lot, and the endorsement fee will at least rise by a few percent. "

"Sister Chunlin, actually, compared to the traditional big brands such as Hook and Three Grass, I would rather sign a new sneaker brand. I should be able to get more voice and initiative."

Zhang Jinshui swallowed the chicken breast he was chewing into his stomach, and expressed his true thoughts.

Today, Zi Chunlin wore a black professional skirt with a white shirt as the base. When she tilted her head to think about something, her long black hair fell like a waterfall, and her flaming red lips looked sassy and sexy.

When talking seriously about work, Zi Chunlin's aura is so strong that the opposite sex dare not look directly at it, but Zhang Jinshui feels happier the more he looks at it.

Because he knew that the shy and blushing side of Zichun belonged entirely to him.

After thinking for a while, Zi Chunlin said: "It's not impossible. Jordan also signed a contract with the emerging brand Hook at that time. While achieving Hook, he also planted the cash cow of JORDAN.

However, I would still like to talk to these two, and their bids are also a yardstick for us to measure other opportunities. "

Zhang Jinshui felt that what Zi Chunlin said made sense, nodded in agreement, and began to bury his head in the chicken breast in front of him again.

After lunch, Zi Chunlin sent Zhang Jinshui to the rocket base, made an appointment to come directly to the rocket base to wait for him after the meeting, and left in a hurry.

At this time, there were still 20 minutes before the start of training in the afternoon, and Zhang Jinshui went straight to Van Gundy's office.

This workaholic who takes care of the Rockets base all day is already sitting in the office studying the Nets game video.

Hearing Zhang Jinshui's proposal to let the team arrange a special coach to help him improve his jumping, explosive and strength related to dunks, Van Gundy naturally readily agreed.

"Simple, let Jim, the assistant coach who is in charge of basic training, help you. I heard that Francis was taken by him for two months, and his vertical bounce increased from 104 cm to 114 cm, ranking first in the history of the league."

It turned out that the Rockets had experts in this field. Zhang Jinshui was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

After a few more brief chats, Zhang Jinshui went to the locker room to change into training clothes, and then appeared at the training ground 5 minutes earlier.

Yao Ming, Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo and other players are almost all here, and they are talking about the team strength list just announced by the NBA official this morning.

"Our team is ranked seventh, followed by the Spurs, Pistons, Suns, Mavericks, Heat and Nets. The Heat's ranking in front of us is outrageous enough. I didn't expect the Nets to rank in front of us. It's inexplicable." Uncle Mu said with a broken voice.

"That's right! Why are the Nets ranked ahead of us? Is it because they won the five-game winning streak at the beginning of the season? But their opponents are all fat, and the gold content of our four-game winning streak is much higher than theirs." Derek Anderson said. Convincedly accepted.

At this moment, McGrady, who was wearing training clothes, pushed open the glass door with a smile and walked into the court.

Zhang Jinshui, Yao Ming and others immediately surrounded him and asked with concern: "McGrady, is your waist okay?"

After getting the answer of "nothing at all", the players finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The crowd told McGrady the topic they were discussing, and McGrady laughed and said, "Then let's teach the Nets a lesson, and be a lesson to NBA officials who don't have eyes."

Yao Ming nodded and smiled, "Yes, if we win against them, we can use our five-game winning streak to end the opponent's five-game winning streak."

"Good!" Zhang Jinshui and other players echoed.

After a while, Van Gundy walked into the court with several assistant coaches, and the afternoon training officially began.

Maybe because the back injury was just a false alarm, and tomorrow he will compete with his cousin Carter, McGrady's training today is very emotional and focused.

During the offensive and defensive transition training, there were even a few dunks.

Until 05:30 in the afternoon, when all the training content was over, McGrady did not go back with the players, but practiced shooting on the court again.

Zhang Jinshui thought of his newly obtained purple badge [explosive ability value], ran up to McGrady, and said with a smile, "McGrady, let's go one-on-one."
