Chapter 63: A friend from afar
After the third game of the nba finals.
All sports news, entertainment newspapers, and even men's clothing magazines are reporting on this matter.
Everything reported in it has the name of new coach Wang Jiexi more or less included.
Some unpopular newspapers and magazines even said that Wang Jiexi was the illegitimate son of Rockets owner Alexander.
It was also said that he had an affair with Morey, because some Rockets internal staff saw Morey staying in his office for more than an hour before coming out.
When Morey came out, his face was like a peach blossom and his eyes were full of spring...
Peat!
When Wang Jiexi saw this, he almost became so angry that his soul went to heaven. The book was finished.
These news media in country m are more messy than the domestic media. At least, the domestic media dare not write these things that are not suitable for children, but foreign countries write openly and honestly, and the sales volume of tm is even higher!
Are you all perverts? Wang Jiexi wants to scold these people in person.
Fortunately, these are bad articles written by low-profile small magazines to attract attention. Most sports newspapers and magazines are still very normal.
Of course, it may be that Wang Jiexi's status and weight are not enough, so most sports publications focused on reporting on Yao Ming and the Rockets management.
I just mentioned Wang Jiexi in passing, and when many reports mentioned Wang Jiexi’s name, they emphasized Adelman’s name. Both words seemed to imply that Wang Jiexi was just a head coach without real power. In fact, now
The record was all achieved secretly by Adelman, an experienced assistant coach.
It's just because the Rockets need to cater to the Chinese market, that's why they do this.
Damn it!
Wang Jiexi got a little angry when he saw this. Is this obvious or covert?
Anyway, it is to remove himself from the credit for the Rockets' championship.
According to a Rockets insider?
Wang Jiexi laughed when he saw this report.
Isn't this what Morey hired someone to do, and you also fucked up an insider?
"You're so shameless. Your face was eaten by a dog?"
I hope that ake you remind me...
A pleasant singing sound came, and Wang Jiexi picked up the phone and called out.
Yao Ming's voice came from over there.
"Coach, where are you?"
Wang Jiexi felt a little uncomfortable because he had just seen the media report, and even said in a stiff tone: "I'm in the team office, do you have anything to do with me?"
Yao Ming was stunned for a moment and asked with concern: "Coach, what happened to you? Do you need my help?"
When Wang Jiexi heard that Yao Ming was caring about him, he felt better and said, "It's okay. I just made some tea and found a grain of mouse droppings in the tea. I felt bad."
"Oh! After the finals, I will give you another pack when you return home."
Yao Ming said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Wang Jiexi nodded and said, "Okay, but one pack is not enough. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yao Ming smiled and said: "UAE is coming to Houston."
"Yi Jianlian?"
Wang Jiexi said subconsciously.
"Yes, he is here to cheer me on. We are going to go out to eat. Coach, please come with us and get to know each other."
Wang Jiexi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, where are you? I'll go directly."
“Just at Yao Restaurant.”
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
I casually swept the magazine on the table into the trash can, and the garbage should go where it should.
...
In the Rockets general manager's office, Morey was listening to reports from his staff.
Then he opened today's newspapers and magazines with a smile and said with satisfaction: "The news has spread. Adelman, please stay at home and don't go out. You will be the head coach of the championship team next season."
On the luxurious leather sofa, Adelman drank red wine and nodded with a smile.
...
The most prosperous commercial street in Houston, it is less than 10 minutes away from Chinatown.
It is a very familiar place in Wang Jiexi's memory.
The famous "Yao Restaurant" is opened here. This restaurant became famous because of Yao Ming and was once popular all over the world. However, in its previous life, it fell into desolation within a few years after Yao Ming retired.
"Are you Coach Wang?"
The waiter at Yao Restaurant came over and asked.
Wang Jiexi stood at the door and nodded.
"Please come with me!"
Wang Jiexi followed the waiter and walked into a private box.
The festive style in the private room is very different from that in the hall. The environment is quiet, the decoration is elegant, and it has a Chinese ancient style atmosphere.
There were two tall and strong figures sitting inside, it was Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.
Sister Lian! I finally saw someone alive.
Wang Jiexi once again saw a football star he liked in his previous life, and he happily stepped forward to shake hands and say hello.
"Ah Lian, I have admired you for a long time, and today I finally meet you!"
The enthusiasm and familiarity made Yi Jianlian, who is a bit shy, a little unable to adapt to it for a while.
I could only say awkwardly in Mandarin with a Cantonese accent: "Hello, hello."
In the end, Yao Ming came to Yi Jianlian's rescue and said: "Our coach is like this. Last time Director Zhang and Teacher Yu Jia came for an interview, the coach enthusiastically talked to Director Zhang where they stood for a long time."
When Wang Jiexi heard what Yao Ming said, he immediately said jokingly: "If you say bad things about me like that, you will be benched in the next game."
Yao Ming was funny and scared and said: "Coach, no, I'm so scared!"
A few jokes made the atmosphere between the three of them familiar.
"I ordered some Shanghainese, Cantonese and a few Sichuan dishes. I don't know if they suit your appetite."
Yao Ming took a sip of the tea in his cup and said.
Yi Jianlian said: "I can do it."
Wang Jiexi smiled and said, "I am used to eating all eight major cuisines."
"That's good." Yao Ming nodded.
Then he asked Yi Jianlian about his current situation with the Nets.
Yi Jianlian looked a little lonely and said: "I have played a lot of time in the Nets, but I finally got injured after playing hard. Don't talk about me, Dayao, I watched every game of your playoffs, and I feel that you are playing every game."
We are making progress. Especially today there is a game with Kobe..."
When Yi Jianlian talked about Yao Ming, Wang Jiexi could clearly feel the yearning in his tone, yearning to play in the NBA like Yao Ming.
There is also the desire in the eyes, the desire to leave one's own sweat on the highest stage of world basketball...
It has nothing to do with nationality and honor, only the love and pursuit of the sport of basketball!
Seeing the light in Yi Jianlian's eyes, Wang Jiexi felt that his heart was touched.
I played so many basketball games in my previous life, wasn’t it just because I liked basketball?
I yearn to go out to the open space and play ball with golfers I don’t know or have met a few times before, or form a team with my friends to beat or be beaten.
I just don’t know when, there are fewer and fewer friends around me, and I have to play solo or single-player games.
Age makes us farther and farther away from our dreams and hobbies.
So we began to respect everyone who strives to pursue their dreams and persist in their hobbies.
Isn't this what the Arab League was like in the previous life?
