NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zhang Xiaoming, a sports reporter for Huaguo Wutai, was sent to Houston by Huaguo Wutai in 2002 as a team reporter for the Rockets.

In the last life, Zhang Jinshui saw him on the live broadcast of the Rockets game countless times. He introduced the current situation of Yao Ming and the Rockets before the game, and interviewed Yao Ming after the game.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoming, who was holding a card in front of his eyes, was dressed the same as in the last life, with a white T-shirt tucked into blue jeans, gray sneakers, and soft black hair crawling on his head, a typical image of a middle-aged man .

Photographer Fade Chen immediately rushed up to give Zhang Xiaoming a big hug, then pulled him in front of Zhang Jinshui, and said with a smile:

"Zhang Xiaoming is a familiar face to our Rockets fans, so I don't need to introduce it.

He is not only my colleague, but also my friend. Before the plane took off, I sent him a message. I didn’t expect him to act so fast. He ran to the airport to pick us up in only two and a half hours. . "

Zhang Xiaoming stretched out his hand in front of Zhang Jinshui enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Zhang Xiaoming. Today, several American media are broadcasting your highlights from yesterday's game. That three-pointer is really wonderful. The team's trial training can also have such a good performance."

Zhang Jinshui looked at this guy who raised his arms high and handed the microphone to Yao Ming's mouth all day long on TV in his last life. He felt very kind in his heart, and shook hands with him enthusiastically, saying, "Hello, Reporter Zhang." , thank you for coming to pick us up."

"Let me introduce you. This is Ye Liangcheng, the son of the director of our TV station. He is a junior at the University of Houston. Today is a holiday, so he came with me." Zhang Xiaoming patted the young man next to him on the shoulder.

Zhang Jinshui looked at Ye Liangcheng. The other party was about the same age as him, at most one or two years older. He was not tall, with a thin body, short hair dyed blond, and a loose hip-hop outfit. He looked very handsome, except for two eyes. Always going back and forth, it feels a little impetuous.

"Hello." Zhang Jinshui politely extended his hand to the other party.

"Hello." Ye Liangcheng shook hands with him, but his expression was absent-minded, and he kept looking aside.

Sure enough, after shaking hands with Zhang Jinshui, he immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Miner next to him, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, Miner, what a coincidence, you are here too, I was pulled over by Uncle Zhang, really Didn't know you were here too."

"You don't need to explain to me." Zhao Min'er said with a cold tone of repelling others thousands of miles away.

Zhang Jinshui immediately smelled the smell of dog blood.

"Since you are here, why don't I treat you to dinner tonight." Ye Liangcheng was not discouraged, and continued to stalk.

"I'm sorry, I still have to take a picture of Jinshui, so I don't have time to have dinner with you." Zhao Min'er still refused bluntly.

At this time, the atmosphere surrounding the crowd has gradually become awkward.

"Hahaha, young man, don't be so stiff. I think it's better to let me be the host tonight and invite everyone to have a meal together.

Jinshui can have a taste of Houston's authentic food, and Min'er can also have a meal with Ye Liangcheng while working.How about I drive everyone back to the hotel after dinner?"

Zhang Xiaoming came out in time to smooth things over.

Ye Liangcheng immediately responded happily: "Yes, yes, why don't we all have a meal together?"

While talking, he looked at Zhang Jinshui eagerly.

Zhang Jinshui didn't rush to answer him, but turned his gaze to Zhao Min'er's face.

He has been keenly aware of the weird interaction between Ye Liangcheng and Zhao Miner. It seems that Ye Liangcheng is very enthusiastic about Zhao Miner, Zhao Miner is very resistant to Ye Liangcheng, and Zhang Xiaoming is doing his best to create opportunities for the two to get along, and even wants to use him as a pawn.

In his heart, Zhang Jinshui already regarded Zhao Miner as half a friend. If Zhao Miner was willing, he would naturally be willing to be an adult, but at this moment, he clearly saw that Zhao Miner's face was full of reluctance.

So, Zhang Jinshui said to Zhang Xiaoming, "I'm sorry, I'm tired, and I want to go to the hotel to rest earlier."

Zhang Xiaoming looked embarrassed and wanted to insist, but Zhang Jinshui still firmly rejected him.

Ye Liangcheng on the side couldn't hold back his face anymore, he was no longer harmless as when they first met, his eyes were cold and violent, and he stared at Zhang Jinshui without hesitation, although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of threats.

Feeling his gaze, Zhang Jinshui sneered in his heart. He didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he turned to Zi Chunlin and said, "Sister Chunlin, you are from Houston, so you should be familiar with this airport, right? Then we don't have to." Reporter Zhang, please take us, you can take us to the hotel by taxi."

"The hotel is quite close to the airport. It's true that we don't need to trouble Reporter Zhang to drive us. It's only 10 minutes away by taxi." Zi Chunlin had already seen the reactions of all parties and said calmly.

"That's good, Min'er, Brother Fei, then let's go with Sister Zilin. Reporter Zhang, thank you for coming to pick me up at the airport. I hope that I will have the opportunity to accept your interview on the NBA court like Yao Ming in the future."

After a few words of politeness with Zhang Xiaoming, Zhang Jinshui directly treated Ye Liangcheng as air, without saying hello, and led them straight to the taxi stand.

And the other party didn't speak, just stared at him fiercely. If eyes could hurt someone, Zhang Jinshui guessed that Ye Liangcheng's eyes would have cut him to pieces.

"Thank you." Zhao Min'er said quietly to Zhang Jinshui after getting into the taxi.

"It's just a little effort." Zhang Jinshui laughed softly: "Actually, I also want to go back to the hotel to rest early. The Rockets' trial training is just around the corner. I can't wait to get into the gym and not come out for 24 hours. How can I have time to deal with them?" .”

"But it will cause you to be hated by that person."

"Remember the grudge, just remember the grudge, anyway, I should never have any intersection with that guy in this life." Zhang Jinshui said indifferently.

Zhao Min'er's expression became cloudy, she hesitated for a moment, and said:

"If you stay in the NBA in the future, you still have to be careful about this person. Although his father is only our director, his mother's relatives have great power in the United States, especially in the media circle of the NBA. Very well connected."

She thought for a while, and continued: "Forget it, in fact, as long as you play hard on the court, they can't really do anything to you. When you are really selected by the NBA, I will remind you what aspects to pay attention to."

Zhang Jinshui was confused by Zhao Miner's words, but he was too lazy to care about it. Anyway, according to what Zhao Miner said, after he was selected by the nba team, Zhao Miner would reveal more information to her, thinking about it , Zhang Jinshui couldn't help laughing: "Then if he wants to get revenge on me, he has to pray that I can stay in the NBA to play. It's quite funny to think about it this way."

Zhao Min'er thought about it, and suddenly found it interesting, and laughed along with Zhang Jinshui.

Next, everyone took a car to the hotel, checked in, put their luggage, and had dinner.

Now, the relationship between the few people has become more and more tacit. Zhang Jinshui and Zhao Miner walked together. Fade Chen turned on the camera and followed them. Bao Xiaobao followed behind Fade Chen, while Zi Chunlin always kept his mobile phone by his ear to discuss various matters.

The time came to the next day in an orderly manner. Zhang Jinshui woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning without an alarm clock.

Packed up the training equipment, ate breakfast, and at 8 o'clock, he showed up on time at the arena where the Rockets helped him arrange closed training.
