Xia Yin sat on a recliner and blew in the breeze, reading various reports in the newspaper, smiling proudly.
From the start of the regular season, the Suns won three games in a row, with Xia Yin winning the Player of the Week award, then lost two games in a row, and now the No. 58 pick is fighting against the No. 1 pick.
Media reports are like riding a roller coaster, going up, down, and up again, and what stands out is that one person has no integrity.
[The new star in the music industry shines in the NBA, and his performance is better than that of the top pick!]
[The No. 58 pick, the Suns beat the Bulls!]
[The most underrated player in the 2008 class, Shain targets the best rookie!]
[The Suns made a great move, and the second-round pick was the “number one pick”!]
There are all kinds of praise for Xia Yin, and some tabloids even started to call Xia Yin the "new Jordan" on the defensive line.
"Praising and killing" is something that the media often does. Some news is so childish that it makes people crazy, but after the report is published, many people believe that the world is so fucked up.
It sounds like Yi Jianlian, who is often described as "scoring 8 points and grabbing 5 rebounds" in the news, as if he is an All-Star, but when he looks at the game, it is very different from the reports.
Over time, this kind of reports made Allen very disliked by others. He actually did nothing and said very little. He was just playing basketball, so he was tricked to death by the media.
Not only the media over there would report this, but Mi Lijian’s media actually also did this.
"Bill, it's up to you to deal with the media. I don't want to see such reports. Isn't this ruining my popularity? Isn't this affecting my potential fans? Isn't this affecting my album?
Sales volume?"
Bill Cowan, who was originally casual, suddenly became serious. Holding those newspapers, his eyes almost burst into flames.
Although he had always hoped that Xia Yin would focus on his career as a singer, now that he is doing well in the Suns, which has also attracted many people to buy his records, he has acquiesced.
But now, someone wants to attack Xia Yin's potential sales group, and Bill can't bear it anymore. Whoever reaches out will be in a hurry.
Seeing Bill leaving in a hurry, preparing to gather the team for a big fight, Xia Yin chuckled.
He is not a small player or singer. He also belongs to the capital class now. It is best not to mess with the rich people in Milijian.
"What's wrong with Bill? Are you so anxious?"
Thalia came out holding the cut watermelon.
"Oh, someone dared to touch his money, he couldn't bear it!"
"Poor Bill, Xia Yin, try it. This watermelon is really good. It's sweet and a little gritty. It's delicious."
Xia Yin happily ate watermelon, it was such a great time on vacation.
But it was only for one day. Kate and the others flew back to Los Angeles in the afternoon.
Xia Yin also got on the plane and flew to Texas. The away game started again, this time the opponent was the Houston Mosaic.
As soon as Xia Yin got off the plane, she received a call from Dayao, saying that she wanted to treat him to dinner.
Xia Yin put his things in the hotel and went straight to Yao Restaurant.
"Brother Yao, thank you for the invitation."
Dayao smiled like an emoticon, "It's been a year since we last met, and I didn't even expect you to join the alliance."
Xia Yin sat on the chair and sighed, "Life is unpredictable, just like I didn't expect that I would play in the NBA, but I feel pretty good now."
The two of them met when Xia Yin was playing in the NCAA, and it has been a year now.
"Haha, I know you like spicy food, so I found a chef who can cook Sichuan food. Are you okay?"
Xia Yin slapped his forehead directly and said, "Thank you very much. I really can't get used to Mi Lijian's localized Chinese food, just like I can't get used to Modou food. It tastes bland, sweet, and tasteless." p>
Seeing all kinds of Sichuan dishes on the table, Xia Yin was almost drooling. He was thinking about hiring a full-time chef?
But when I thought about playing basketball, it would be better to eat less such food, so I gave up the idea.
"How are you in the sun?"
"I was specially invited by them and given high hopes. Naturally, they pampered me from top to bottom. I'm living a pretty good life."
Xia Yin smiled happily. The Suns have indeed done a good job in this regard. In addition, several big-name stars in the team are also relatively harmonious. The atmosphere in the Suns team is really great.
Hearing this, Dayao sighed, Mosaic can't compare with the Suns, especially since the conflict between him and Tracy McGrady is getting deeper and deeper.
The two chatted about various topics, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, until at a certain moment, Xia Yin touched on a sensitive point.
"Brother Yao, you have three major problems now. If you can't solve them, I feel it will be very regrettable."
Upon hearing this, Dayao's face darkened.
"Tell me, we brothers said privately that no matter what, it's just the two of us."
Xia Yin was rude, and he didn't want Dayao to retire sadly like this, and later be said to be unqualified to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
"The first point is the issue of the national team. I won't talk about the Olympics and World Championships, but you will also be asked to participate in other competitions. How long do you think you can last?
With a body like yours and a lot of injuries, can you really persevere and not retire sadly due to injuries?"
As soon as this topic was brought up, Dayao sighed helplessly.
"Don't talk about whether you have something or not, Brother Yao, how long do you want the national team to rely on you? If you really retire, what will happen to the World Championships in 2010 and the Olympic Games in 2012?"
This topic made Dayao look heavy.
But it is true.
"My suggestion is to make your injuries public and communicate with the men's basketball team. You are not young anymore and need to think about your future."
Dayao sighed, "Continue, what else?"
"The second problem is your weight gain. You are already suffering from injuries. Losing weight can help you extend your career. Look at history for yourself. For someone as tall as you and so heavy, how many careers have you had?
A long career?"
"You have sacrificed a lot, but you also have to think about yourself. I don't want to see the news that one day you have no choice but to retire due to injury. If so, is the men's basketball team prepared?"
These words have made Dayao serious.
Xia Yin’s next words were even more heart-wrenching.
"I don't think your current lineup can allow you to win the championship. Mosaic's boss is very stingy. He only wants to make money and never wants to win the championship. You can think about it yourself."
"I know you want to build an image and have thought a lot about not leaving the mosaic for one person and one city. But if you move the trees, you will die and the people will live. You should understand, right?"
"Brother Yao, leave Mosaic!"
Xia Yin said this sincerely. He really didn't want Dayao to end in tragedy.
"Your contract expires in 11 years, but in 10 years you can get out of the contract and go to the Mavericks. Dallas is not far from Houston. There are still many people who support you, and you can play the tragedy card. I can help you if you need it.
Help you."
Xia Yin pointed at himself, "I am of Chinese descent. Even if I win the championship, it is just to prove myself, but you are different. If you can win the championship when you retire, have you ever thought about how big a difference it will make?"
"When people look at history, they only simply evaluate merits, demerits and achievements. No one cares about many things."
After saying that, Xia Yin picked up his coat and left, leaving Dayao sitting there thinking for a long time.
After Xia Yin got into the car, he sighed, how could Dayao, who went up the mountain and came down the mountain, come down the mountain decently, give a decent account of his career, and treat the people after he got up.
This is not a simple question, but it is Dayao himself who ultimately makes the decision. It depends on how he chooses.
