() In fact, in the NBA, gatherings between friends are a very normal thing. Basically, when one person goes to another person’s city to play a game, the night before the game, the host sends an invitation, and then
We had a meal in the East and left after playing the game the next day.
However, Chen Jie is a rookie in the NBA after all, and he doesn't know much about some rules. He knew that Yao Ming was coming, but because there was a game today and he wanted to let Yao Ming have a good rest, he went out drinking alone last night and did not choose to invite Yao Ming.
Yao Ming, on the other hand, waited all night for Chen Jie's call but did not receive it. In the end, he could only smile helplessly. It seemed that this guy didn't have the consciousness to make things happen.
But after all, it is not easy to come to Chicago once, and one of them is with the Rockets and the other with the Bulls. One is from the Eastern Conference team and the other is from the Western Conference team. They can only meet twice a season, and the number of times they get together is not many, so Yao Ming is
I chose to call Chen Jie after the game and actively invite him.
Since it was Yao Ming's invitation, the host was naturally Yao Ming. He remembered that Chen Jie had told him that his former idol was Tracy McGrady. When he was in the locker room, he mentioned the matter to McGrady and asked him
Do you want to be together?
After McGrady heard that Yao Ming was going to have a gathering with Jay Sean of the Bulls tonight, he expressed great interest. McGrady still wanted to see this rookie who sparked a discussion about the No. 1 pick in the draft and even got involved in it.
Let’s get to know each other. In fact, the two of them are almost teammates. If the Magic select Jay Sean with the No. 1 pick, then there will be no subsequent trades. What the league is talking about now will not be the Bulls’ quick whirlwind, but
It should be the backcourt of the Magic.
With this thought in mind, Tracy McGrady thought about it and agreed to Yao Ming's invitation.
Because the game started at 5 pm local time, when Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady arrived at the appointed restaurant, it was around 8:30 pm.
This game was not a hard fight, so the two of them were not very tired. The team had to rest for one night before flying back to Houston, and there was still plenty of time for the next two days to rest.
While waiting for Chen Jie to arrive, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were chatting quietly.
The du lixing of this restaurant is quite good. Each table is located in a du li booth, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.
Chen Jie was very satisfied as soon as he walked in. Now even his appearance at the hotel would make the Bulls fans so excited. Wouldn't it be crazy to see the league's superstars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming? In that case, there would be no need to eat and just sign autographs.
After making a call to Yao Ming, he followed the waiter to the location Yao Ming mentioned. As soon as he walked into the cubicle, he saw the man with brown skin and always hazy eyes.
This is such a man who won two NBA scoring titles. He was even crazier than Kobe Bryant at his peak. He had the best talent in the NBA and created a miracle of 13 minutes in 35 seconds...
He was also such a man. He was constantly tortured by waist and back injuries. He passed his peak early. He was unable to gain a foothold in the NBA and was reduced to the CBA. He lost nine relatives in nine years. It was a double blow both mentally and physically...
This moment seems like a century.
By the time Chen Jie came to his senses, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming had already stood up with smiles.
"Jay Sean, haha, I know you, you're doing a great job!" McGrady smiled.
"Tracy, you are my favorite NBA player!" Chen Jie's tone was very sincere.
"Really? That's such an honor for me!" McGrady smiled happily.
At this moment, Chen Jie felt that he was not an NBA player, but a pure fan. A lucky person who had close contact with his idol.
However, Chen Jie also knew that this feeling could only be left off the court.
Those tears of sadness in the past life can no longer stay in this life.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Chen Jie sat down amidst Yao Ming's warm greeting, and then watched Yao Ming call the waiter to order. Chen Jie was still a little excited in his heart.
"How's the injury?" Yao Ming asked after ordering, his eyes very concerned.
The two are both Chinese and have known each other for a long time. They treat Chen Jie and Yao Ming as true friends.
Hearing that Yao Ming's first words were that he was concerned about his injury, Chen Jie felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I haven't played this game, so I guess I can just take another break!"
"Shaq is really ruthless. I will talk about it when I meet him." McGrady next to him joked.
Chen Jie then remembered that Tracy McGrady and O'Neal were also very good friends. However, Chen Jie now had no fondness for the fat man who used to be so naive. No matter whose friend he was, Chen Jie would completely surpass him. Then there was
One day, teach him the same lesson!
"Tracy, tell me about you. I'm very curious about your story. You have to know that when a fan sees an idol, he or she wants to know a lot about him!" Chen Jie didn't want to talk about Shaq, so he quickly changed the topic.
.
Hearing Chen Jie's words, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Jie, am I really your idol? Then you will be happy. Very few people can be friends with idols. You know, in fact, we
Almost became a teammate!"
"Are you talking about the draft?" Chen Jie smiled.
McGrady nodded: "I was optimistic about you at the time, but I couldn't make the decision. In the end, those people chose Dwight. Of course, they later traded me away."
"Thank you, I take this as your recognition of me!" Chen Jie smiled softly and joked.
"I'm sure. I also watched your NCAA game. You played very well. If we can be teammates, I think we can work together very well!" McGrady said.
"So are you and Yao working as lobbyists today to get me to go to Houston?" Chen Jie made a joke.
McGrady was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Jay, you are a very interesting person. If you have a chance, you can go to Houston. Well, that city is very good!"
"Okay, I'll think about it!" Chen Jie said seriously.
The lively atmosphere made Tracy McGrady and Chen Jie happier as they chatted. He actually told Chen Jie some of his past stories. The occasional humorous interjection from Yao Ming next to him was the finishing touch, making the two of them laugh.
That night, the laughter of three people kept coming from the cubicle.
After dinner, Tracy McGrady and Chen Jie said goodbye warmly and even hugged each other. Before leaving, he said: "Jie, you are a very good player and a very interesting person. I will make sure you are my friend."
Got it!"
Chen Jie had a bright smile on his face: "Tracy, it's my honor to be your friend!"
After saying this, the three of them reluctantly said goodbye. Chen Jie drove his Chevrolet home, while Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady went back to the hotel. After all, they had to fly to Houston the next day.
Looking at McGrady's back, Chen Jie said to himself in his heart. Tonight, just treat it as a kind of memorial. McGrady, I'm really happy to be friends with you. However, starting from tomorrow, I will no longer be a friend.
I was a fan in my previous life. In this life, my name is Jay Sean and I am an NBA player!
