Chapter 433 After Victory (1/2)
"No, the referee's penalty is only part of the game. The Rockets played very hard and excellent tonight. Both sides played very hard." Tang Shuai shook his head and said. Now the team has won the game and the series has ended. He really has no need to cause trouble for himself at this time.
"Just evaluate James' performance tonight. It is said that he cried when he returned to the locker room after the game." The reporter said.
"Well..." Tang Shuai said, paused, then shook his head, and after a while, he said, "This is the playoffs. We always try our best to get the team further, but in fact, it is impossible for two teams to win at the same time, so I can only wish James good luck next season."
After hearing what Tang Shuai said, the reporter nodded in satisfaction and sat down.
"Dang, your performance is getting better and better at the news conference." After the press conference was over, Pierce spoke and praised him after walking on the scene.
"This is another field. I have to thank Sam for giving me so many opportunities. This is growing very quickly for me." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
"Yes, you should really thank you. What a lucky thing it is for you to meet such a coach in a rookie season." Pierce said with a smile.
The two of them had already walked back to the locker room while they were talking.
In the locker room, Paul and Griffin were chatting with their teammates in suits and tie. The completely different outfits made them look particularly eye-catching.
"p3, Blake, haven't you been back yet?" Tang Shuai saw the two of them and greeted him directly.
"Hey, Don, Paul, we're waiting for you to come back and celebrate together!" Griffin said with a smile.
"Your injuries?" Tang Shuai looked at the injured parts of the two people with some uncertainty.
"Will you use your knees if you celebrate?" Griffin said with a big laugh.
"I'm fine, tonight is a night to celebrate. Especially you, Don." Paul said with a smile.
Hearing Griffin and Paul say this, Tang Shuai nodded silently. He didn't say anything else. Celebration after victory is always essential. Especially in this critical game, this is still the same way.
"Tang, someone is looking for you outside." Just as Tang Shuai and his teammates were discussing where to go to celebrate in the evening, a shout from the staff suddenly came from the door.
"Someone is looking for me?" Tang Shuai turned his head in confusion when he heard someone calling him.
"You must know him." The staff at the door smiled and said to him.
"Big man, do I know him?" Tang Shuai stood up suspiciously and saw the staff's smile again. His doubts became even stronger.
He walked to the door with curiosity, turned around and saw a huge figure.
"Yao Ming!" Tang Shuai exclaimed.
No wonder the staff had that expression. The person who came to him was Yao Ming!
"What, are you surprised to see me?" Yao Ming walked towards him with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Tang Shuai was still quite surprised.
"This is Houston, have you forgotten?" Yao Ming walked up to him and said with a smile.
"Yes, haha, this is your second home." Tang Shuai said, scratching his head.
"Congratulations, I watched the whole game on the sidelines. You really played great. It was much better than I did in the rookie season in the first rookie." Yao Ming said as he reached out.
"No, you played much better than me in your rookie season." Tang Shuai and Yao Ming shook hands.
"Do you have time? Let's go to the cafe outside for a drink?" Yao Ming suggested.
Tang Shuai looked at the time with his watch, nodded and said, "I will celebrate with my teammates later. But it's still early."
Yao Ming nodded with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "I'm waiting for you outside."
After saying that, he left.
After saying hello to his teammates, Tang Shuai drove directly to the nearby cafe with Yao Ming.
The acquaintance with Yao Ming started from that Yao Ming training camp, and I met again in the Chinese competition. In short, this should be their third time meeting. Moreover, this time, Yao Ming invited me alone, and I don’t know why.
When Tang Shuai arrived, Yao Ming took the initiative to stand up. There was a woman standing up with him. He then introduced: "This is my wife Ye Li."
"Hello." Tang Shuai greeted Ye Li with a smile. However, the doubts in his eyes became even stronger. Why did Yao Ming only bring his wife to him?
"Gentlemen, what do you want to drink?" At this moment, the waiter from the restaurant came over and asked.
"What are you drinking?" Yao Ming asked.
"I'll just black coffee." Tang Shuai said to the waiter.
"Tang Shuai, to be honest, my performance tonight was shocked. It was the first time I saw that China had a defender who could score so easily in the NBA." Ye Li said to Tang Shuai with a smile, she was also a well-known basketball player in China.
"Thank you for your praise. Yao Ming has already praised me before. If you praise me again, I will really find a hole to get into it." Tang Shuai said embarrassedly.
"Haha, you are really humorous, just like what Lao Yao said." Ye Li covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Tang Shuai smiled and turned his head inadvertently to look at Yao Ming. He didn't expect Yao Ming would mention him to Ye Li at home. This was really something he had never expected.
The three of them followed and talked about the game for a few more words, and the waiter also brought their coffee.
After taking a sip of coffee, Yao Ming then said to Tang Shuai: "Have you ever considered investing in some business matters?"
"Investment business?" Tang Shuai looked at Yao Ming in confusion.
"Well, although it's still a bit early for you, if this kind of thing starts earlier, it will bring a lot of benefits to future development."
Tang Shuai nodded thoughtfully. NBA players earn a lot of work, and investment is something that many people will choose. After all, there are really a few people who deposit and put them in the bank after they have money.
"I am planning to establish a training institution in the United States, which specializes in providing American-style training camps for domestic players or teams. I will use my connections to invite some professional NBA trainers to make this training institution effective, and even organize some NBA-level competitions through this institution." Yao Ming said.
"This is a very good idea. Not only has a large market, but it can also truly improve the level of domestic players." Tang Shuai said in agreement.
Nowadays, many Ba teams or national team members like to go to the United States to train during the offseason, but each person or each team chooses differently and the effects are also different. Yao Ming's idea is equivalent to integrating this part. With his golden sign, I believe that the market will definitely not be a problem.
"I want to invite you to invest together. Are you interested?" Yao Ming said.
"Invite me to invest?!" Tang Shuai looked surprised. He didn't expect that Yao Ming called him out for this reason, so no wonder he only brought Ye Li with him.
"Old Yao is very optimistic about you, saying that your future achievements will be higher than him, and he is here to hug you this time." Ye Li said with a smile.
Yao Ming smiled and did not refute.
Ye Li's words must not be believed, but Yao Ming's idea is indeed very good, but it involves economic matters, so he must have to go back and discuss with Duffy.
"Chinese basketball has reached the time to develop. I am working hard with other ba team bosses for the professional league, but after contacting the Basketball Association once, I feel that the hope is not very great, so I can only do my best. The purpose of establishing this training institution is equivalent to preparing a retreat in advance. If that side really doesn't work, I can only take this detour." Yao Ming said with emotion.
Tang Shuai, the "Second-level Vocational Basketball Team" formed by Yao Ming, knew something, which was equivalent to forcing the Basketball Association to reform and let the Basketball Association move from a "planned economy" to a "market economy". But in fact, as Yao Ming himself said, this kind of hope is too small, and the battle between business and officials has not been achieved since ancient times.
However, even though he knew that the final result was failure, he still insisted on doing it. From this, it can be seen that Yao Ming really hopes that Chinese basketball will develop in a good direction.
"Okay, I promise you that our agent can discuss the specific matters later." Tang Shuai nodded and said that Yao Ming would invite him, which has given him enough face. In order to Yao Ming's heart, it is reasonable for him to make some contributions to Chinese basketball, not to mention that this matter is very likely to bring him a considerable economic income.
"Chinese basketball should thank you." Yao Ming's face was full of smiles. Judging from his emotions, he was really worried about the matter of the secondary vocational basketball team during this period.
However, when Yao Ming smiled, his face immediately turned into a classic "囧" series of emoticons on the Internet. Tang Shuai's sense of intimacy suddenly came up and he said unconsciously: "Da Yao, I..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the name was not suitable, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Sorry, my name was wrong."
"It's okay, you don't seem so strange if you call me Da Yao." Yao Ming was very straightforward and waved his hand and said.
Seeing that Yao Ming didn't care, Tang Shuai's face suddenly showed joy and said, "It would be too bad for me to say thank you. I am also a part of Chinese basketball."
"Ah haha, yes, what I said was wrong." Yao Ming smiled and picked up the coffee. "Drinking alcohol harms our health. We will use coffee instead of wine to touch it to celebrate today."
Tang Shuai nodded vigorously, picked up the coffee cup and bumped Yao Ming.
With a "ding" sound, the two parties' joint business matters were stamped.
After the meeting with Tang Shuai, Tang Shuai followed him back to the stadium and prepared to go out to celebrate with his teammates.
This meeting reached a cooperation intention on one hand, and on the other hand, it gave him a lot of inspiration.
Although he knew that NBA players investing is common, he had never considered this issue because he was busy with the game and was in the rookie season. This meeting was equivalent to reminding him that he must discuss it with Duffy after he went back, otherwise it would be a waste to just put the endorsement fee in the bank to eat interest.
ps: Thank you for knowing too much, the Chou Huo Pig wanders around the world, the fuck. Nima combination, and the monthly ticket support of Nuoyu. (To be continued.)
