Chapter 106 Two Phone Calls

"What, whose call is it?" Li Chengming asked after his father finished answering the phone.

Father Li hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's Lan Xie's call..."

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing, then he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why, now you know that Qiu is coming to your door?"

Father Li saw his sudden quarrel and said with amusement: "It's not like they have given in. They just agree to let you join the national team now, and they also need a little cooperation from us."

What to match?

To put it bluntly, it's not just about saving face. I ignored Li Chengming's side at first, but now Li Chengming's performance is so good that not only Kongshang Yi, but also Dayao's side was temporarily suppressed by him.

Because of Li Chengming's performance, domestic Magic fans can even briefly compete with Texas fans on game days.

Li Chengming is still just a rookie, and how could Yao perform so well in his first year?

What's more, Li Chengming is only 19 years old now, and he still has half a year to officially cross 20. At that time, Yao Yao was already a finished product in the league. He just needed to adapt to the NBA, and there was generally not much room for growth.

This means that Li Chengming may still grow in the next two years, and by then he will surpass Yao Yao.

Under such circumstances, if they still show no sign of a player who has the potential to become the number one star in the country, they will really be scolded to death.

If it were just the fans' opinion, it would be really not worth mentioning, but the problem is that this matter must have been heard by Datian.

Li Chengming is not in Xibei, but in the NBA, which they have no control over. And he doesn't have much overt or covert connection with the Blue Shoes, so they can't control him.

In this case, the more famous Li becomes, the more conspicuous the fact that he is not a member of the national team.

Of course, from another perspective, if Li Chengming can really be recruited into the national team, then when they play well in games, their results can also be counted as their political achievements. This is also a good thing for them, right?

However, Li Chengming is not a great Yao.

First of all, unlike Dayao and Yao, he has been in the "system" from the beginning and was trained by them. So now Dayao is making a lot of money in the NBA. In addition to his personal salary, some business

They still get a share of the contract.

For example, when Da Zhi entered the NBA without permission and did not return in time, he was immediately banned.

This kind of situation is impossible to happen with Li Chengming. Li Chengming is completely out of control, and this is naturally intolerable to some people.

They want obedient players, not necessarily the strongest players.

Li Chengming is not under threat and has no interests to share. Of course, they don't want Li Chengming to easily share the "cake" of the national team.

If it were normal times, maybe they would just bite the bullet and continue to carry on like this. Anyway, it's not the fans who can decide whether to win or not.

But this is not the Olympic Games that is just around the corner in 2008. As an Olympic men's basketball competition that even the basketball hegemon, the United States, must pay attention to, the Blue Shoes also want to achieve good results.

At this time, if we can have more power like Li Chengming, we can also have more protection.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the fans blame them for not recruiting Li Chengming, then they will have to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis when Li Chengming becomes famous.

"Then do I agree or disagree?"

In fact, this is nothing to consider. If you have this opportunity, you will definitely agree.

It would only become a big problem if Li Chengming never expressed his intention to join the national team.

Father Li sighed and said, "For the time being, we just need to let someone out. Someone will contact us next, and we have to tell them something first."

For example, there are restrictions on participating in national team competitions.

In addition to important competitions such as the Olympics and the World Championships, during the time period before and after the NBA game, Li's father definitely did not want Li Chengming to go back to participate in the game.

After all, at Li Chengming's weight, participating in too many competitions was very taxing on him. Li's father even suspected that the fundamental reason why he caught colds for no reason before was because the continuous competitions consumed too much, which overloaded his body and made him immune.

The system is going on strike in protest.

In addition to the Olympic Games, the World Championships, and other Asian-level competitions, if you insist on dragging Li Chengming back, wouldn't it be a violation of him?

Father Li also feels sorry for his son. After all, even if he has lost 30 pounds now, he is still a "big fat boy" weighing 270 pounds. Not talking about competitions, running back and forth is unbearable.

Li Chengming frowned, but hesitantly asked: "Will they agree?"

In fact, he also suddenly considered a question. Although his "weight loss system" is a task of the NBA, but it is also basketball, and will international competitions also have a task?

Now because of my own strength, the tasks in the NBA are getting more and more difficult, and the rewards are getting harder and harder to get. Maybe opening up another track is a good choice?

What's more, this way, when the NBA games are over, he can still maintain his condition during the offseason and not become a "pork belly".

If this is the case, then he really hopes to have more national team games.

Of course, even if he doesn't have a mission, he is still very happy to join the national team and win glory by playing for the country.

Although many domestic fans say that Dayao's national team games have affected his performance in the NBA, if Dayao really gives up playing for the national team in order to preserve himself, then the criticism will definitely be inevitable.

Even if Yao is like this now, he is indispensable in China. Only players with Yao's character and Jordan's ability can satisfy them.

Father Li smiled and said: "It's nothing more than negotiation. We now have the initiative."

He felt that his request was very reasonable. Moreover, although the other party still maintained a certain degree of reserve, since they had already taken the initiative, it meant that many conditions were negotiable.

What's more, now, except for Dayao, no one is indispensable in the national team.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang again.

Both father and son were stunned for a moment, then Li's father went over to answer the phone, and soon looked at Li Chengming again.

Li Chengming realized something and immediately asked: "Whose phone number is it again?"

"Coming from Houston, don't you think?"

Li Chengming was stunned, and of course he immediately thought of someone, "Dayao?"

Li's father had already handed over the phone. After Li Chengming took it, he still hesitated before asking: "Hello?"

Dayao had never taken the initiative to contact him before. In fact, after discussing with his father, he felt that he was waiting for them to take the initiative to contact him.

After all, Yao is now a big boss of the national team, and a "self-employed" like him logically needs to go to the "pier".

But in the end they decided to deal with it coldly. Before the attitude of the Blue Shoes was undecided, they continued to maintain such a distant attitude, and it was enough to maintain contact with the Arab League.

I believe Dayao will not miss him because of this matter...

However, Dayao did not directly talk about this topic on the phone at this time. Instead, he talked about some of his experiences integrating into the NBA and American society from the standpoint of a senior and someone who has experienced it.

In fact, these words could have been said before, and they should have been said at that time, but the meaning of saying them now is different. It is more like a statement, a kind of recognition of Li Chengming.

Obviously, not only was he waiting for Blue Shoes' statement, but Dayao's side was probably also waiting.

Especially since he is currently the benchmark figure of the national team, he still has to try to maintain an attitude consistent with the "official" attitude and cannot give any signals to Li Chengming or the outside world.

This is not necessarily what he thinks in his heart. As a single person, Yao probably wishes he had a few more fellow countrymen who could talk in normal games.

Of course, this is obviously impossible.

Li Chengming also understood why Dayao was able to establish himself in the NBA in the more difficult environment.

First of all, as a person, he is infinitely better than him and Ah Lian.

Li Chengming admits that he has a lot of energy as a young man, but without his father to give him constant guidance when it comes to how he behaves, he might actually make some small mistakes now.

The result of this conversation was naturally very pleasant. Dayao obviously got the news from Lan Xie, so he took the initiative to show his kindness to Li Chengming at this time, which could be regarded as making up for the face that Lan Xie was unwilling to lose.

In addition, it also makes Li Chengming feel sincerity.

Li Chengming finally found out that Dayao didn't take the initiative to contact him at first, and it was also because of Blue Shoes.

After all, as the boss of the national team, if he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Li Chengming at that time, it would not be a slap in the face of Blue Shoes.

Of course, he still wanted to contact Li Chengming through Ah Lian. Unfortunately, the boy didn't understand the meaning and failed to convey the message well, so it has been delayed until now.

Now that Lan Xie has finally let the news out, Dayao naturally has no scruples and can interact with juniors like Li Chengming normally, and his initiative is to help Lan Xie find a place to step down.

Li Chengming didn't understand these political things, but Li's father could tell. When he hung up the phone to discuss it with him, Li Chengming could only scratch his head and said: "You talk about it like this, what's wrong with Dayao?"

I feel the same as them."

Father Li shook his head and said, "He just has more contact with them and knows their rules."

"Well, will he also work there in the future, such as becoming a leader or something?"

Li's father smiled and said: "That's good. This may be a good thing. At least it's an expert guiding an expert. Of course, I can't say for sure, what didn't happen..."

Although an agreement has been reached, it is still very early before the Olympics and even the Olympic training.

Moreover, Li Chengming still has games to play. If he can even reach the finals this season, he will not be able to join the national team until July next year.

Of course, if that is the case, then he may really be able to become the "first player" of the national team in a certain sense. After all, although there was a Mongolian man who won the championship with the Spurs before, there are no domestic players who participated in the finals as the main force.

It hasn't appeared yet.

Domestic fans certainly hope that Dayao can win the championship, but judging from the current situation in Houston, I am afraid it is still not optimistic.

"By the way, what else did he just say to you?"

"He said," Li Chengming said with a strange expression: "Welcome to the NBA..."

The last sentence is a well-known trash talk. It is put here as a joke and it also indicates that Li Chengming will be taught a "lesson" in the next game.
