"Li, if we hadn't helped you train, would you have become stronger so quickly? Tell me, how should you thank us?" Gasol said seriously.
"No, Paul, other people still have credibility when they say this, so just forget it." He just doesn't believe Gasol's words.
Gasol glared at Conley to stop him from telling the truth.
"It's not because you don't have enough physical strength. I'll help you with some physical training." Anyway, it's shameless, so keep at it.
"Um...Okay, I barely believe you." It just felt like something was wrong.
"How can you force that? First, tell me how to thank us?" Everyone knew that Li Tian had just signed a new endorsement contract.
It seems that bleeding is inevitable.
"Let's go to our old place. I'll treat you and Paul will pay. Is everyone okay with that?" Li Tian shouted loudly.
"Okay." Several people agreed in unison.
"Lee, you can't do this, why should I pay?" Gasol protested strongly.
"Your proposal, by the way, you, the All-Star, have never invited us once. This time you agreed to pay. None of us objected, so just go with it." Li Tian continued to fool around.
After saying that, he took Conley and others, held Gasol and went out.
When paying, Gasol shouted loudly, "You are not a kind person. Why did you agree to that in such a hurry?"
"Be sure to stay away from Lee in the future, he is poisonous." Gasol complained before leaving.
"Paul, I agree with what you said, but you still have to pay the money." Conley looked at Gasol sympathetically.
"You must stay away from Li. Paul has been paying attention to your breasts. Your suggestion is so right." Lori nodded vigorously.
"My heart hurts. How come I know these people?" Gasol vomited blood and died.
Turn around and leave.
"Conley, what's going on with you guys today?"
Under Li Tian's coercion and inducement, Conley truthfully explained the problem.
"Conley, you guys, why did I become teammates with you?" He turned around and left.
Conley and others were left looking confused.
...
"Li Tian, welcome to Houston. Isn't it nice here?" Yao Ming introduced Houston.
"Brother Yao, how are you feeling lately?" Li Tian didn't have any thoughts about how Houston was doing. He was more concerned about Yao Ming's weight. He felt fat again.
"I'm not bad." Yao Ming answered casually.
"Brother Yao, you know I'm asking about your weight, not anything else. I feel like you've gained weight again." Li Tian was a little worried, fearing that Yao Ming would be seriously injured like in his previous life.
"I am also very helpless. The coaching staff has always hoped that I can gain weight so that I can have an advantage against O'Neal in the future." Yao Ming had to answer truthfully.
"Bullshit O'Neal, can't they consider your health? Mosaic can beat O'Neal several times a year. If you continue to gain weight, you will probably have to sit on the sidelines and watch games in 2008." Li Tian said this a bit. It's heavy, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Looking at Yao Ming, Li Tian didn't know what to do.
"Brother Yao, if you have physical problems, I think I will give up participating in the 2008 Olympics. I don't want to participate in a hopeless competition." Li Tian looked at Yao Ming and said no more.
"Dayao, I think you should listen to Li Tian's advice. Didn't Mosaic's team doctor give you a warning a long time ago?" Yao's father said as he watched the conversation between the two being deadlocked.
"Brother Yao, your body is your own. You and your sister-in-law have just gotten married. Go ask your team doctor. If this continues, your career will end and you may have to rely on a wheelchair to walk." The words must be taken seriously.
"Brother Yao, you are a star. If the Mosaic team continues to let you gain weight, just leave. Why waste it? I don't believe that if you don't gain weight, you won't be able to find a new team to want you."
Li Tian knew that if Yao Ming was seeking a trade now, the Lakers and Cavaliers would definitely be the ones to trade. Apart from the top stars, they could just pick any of them, as long as they could be traded.
"Li Tian, thank you." After listening to Li Tian's words, Yao Ming also wanted to understand that basketball is his most beloved career, but his body and family are his.
Yao Ming made up his mind not to gain weight but to lose weight.
(Readers may think that Li Tian only said these few words and Yao Ming changed his mind. It feels too easy. In fact, it is not the case. Yao Ming often suffers from physical injuries, coupled with the frequent persuasion of his family and the analysis of his agent team and some doctors. Yao Ming finally made up his mind, Li Tian was just the last straw.)
"Brother Yao, I hope I can play games with a healthy you. Wouldn't it be nice to raise the national flag?" After Li Tian finished speaking, he started to eat heavily.
"Li Tian, let me call Bill." He dialed Bill's number.
"Bill, I will refuse to gain weight and further reduce my playing time. I hope you can help me communicate with you first, okay?" Yao Ming still wants to negotiate with the team through Bill first, and doesn't want to take the final step yet.
"Yao, no problem. I will help you contact the Mosaic management. If the negotiation fails, have you considered the worst-case scenario?" Bill Duffy also hopes that Yao Ming stays healthy.
"The worst..." Yao Ming fell into deep thought. The gratitude and loyalty of the Chinese people... kept flashing in Yao Ming's mind.
"Let's try to make it work. I haven't prepared for the worst yet." Yao Ming indeed has not considered leaving Mosaic.
"The effect of this kind of negotiation may not be very good. You have to prepare for the worst." This kind of negotiation is too difficult, but Bill still chooses to negotiate first. Yao Ming's ability to initiate negotiation is already a big change.
Bill can only hope to take his time. If Yao Ming can go to a big city, he will also have more benefits.
This kind of thing cannot happen overnight.
Yao Ming needs to change slowly. This time has been a big change. In the past, Yao Ming rarely asked for anything and always followed the arrangements of the coaching staff.
"Brother Yao, what are you afraid of? Mosaic management doesn't agree, so let's leave Houston. It's not like we can't find another home." Li Tian continued to encourage Yao Ming.
"Li Tian, why do I feel that you are creating civil strife in Mosaic and want to take the opportunity to win this game?" Yao Ming has a high emotional intelligence.
"Haha, Brother Yao, I was discovered by you. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. The Grizzlies have already gone to the lottery." Now it doesn't mean much whether the Grizzlies win or not. As long as Li Tian can play, that's fine. , no other requirements.
If you can appear on the court, you can produce statistics. When your rookie contract ends, you don't have to worry about finding a new employer.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. What are your thoughts on joining the national team?" I still can't escape this question.
"I am eager to join the national team, as long as there is no messy contract. I hope I can train alone. You also know that my training is different from theirs. I will hire a dedicated training team, and I will participate in joint training."
Patriotism is deeply imprinted in Li Tian’s bones.
"Okay, I'll try my best to help you fight for it." Yao Ming felt more helpless than disappointed at this time.
"Brother Yao, don't worry, I will prove myself with my strength." Li Tian will not agree to all requests without a bottom line, as this will not be conducive to his later development.
"How about taking you to visit Houston?"
"Brother Yao, no need. I will return to the team in a while. There will be many opportunities in the future."
After saying that, Li Tian left Yao Ming's residence in Houston.
