Author: Can play the harmonica

After several days of training and preparation, at noon on November 24, the Lakers flew to Houston to participate in the next day's game.

That night, Lu Yusheng received a strange call.

Lu Yusheng didn't answer, and he basically didn't answer strange calls now.

Because, after becoming famous, I received several calls from fans. They didn’t know what channel they got from. After confirming that it was Lu Yusheng, they talked endlessly.

Although Lu Yusheng's attitude was good enough and he had been chatting with them for a long time, he still couldn't resist them refusing to hang up the phone for a long time.

Since then, Lu Yusheng no longer answered strange calls.

After the strange account was hung up, another message was sent.

"Little brother, I'm Yao Ming. You're here in Houston. Do you have time tonight? Can you talk to you?"

This information surprised Lu Yusheng. In fact, he was also a fan of Yao Ming in his previous life. He had an idol appointment, which was a treatment he could not even imagine.

In fact, Lu Yusheng had been thinking about contacting Yao Ming before, but he was busy all the time. Besides, there was really no contact information from others.

Now Yao Ming actually asked him to meet him on his own initiative. Lu Yusheng hurriedly returned the phone and made an appointment with Yao Ming to meet. Moreover, the meeting place that Yao Ming decided was in the Yao restaurant that Yao Ming opened himself.

In the evening, Yao Ming also sent a car to pick up Lu Yusheng.

When they arrived at Yao Restaurant, after Lu Yu gave birth to the car, Yao Ming came out to greet him in person, and there were several people following him.

This made Lu Yusheng a little flattered.

"Brother Yao, you are so polite. I can just come by myself, and I will send a car to pick me up."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "The future league point guard nemesis, your identity is worthy of this podium."

"The media is messing around, don't joke with me."

"I don't think it's a mess," said Yao Ming. "I've watched your game. I think it's very possible. Let's talk in the house."

Lu Yusheng followed Yao Ming to the private room prepared in advance.

However, Yao Ming did not let the few people who had just welcomed Lu Yusheng come in together, but whispered to them at the door, and then he closed the door and walked in alone.

"When did you come to the United States?" Yao Ming asked after sitting down.

"I came with my mother when I was very young." Lu Yusheng told Yao Ming truthfully about his situation.

After hearing this, Yao Ming nodded, "It's not easy for auntie. I have taken you alone in a foreign country for so many years, but fortunately, you have become a talent now and earn a lot of money in the future. You must be filial to your mother."

"Yeah, sure."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Really speaking, you have been in the United States for so many years and you have almost forgotten Chinese, but I didn't expect you to speak Chinese so well."

"I often tell my mother at home, and my mother's friends are also from Chinese. They also speak Chinese and often meet us, so I speak more." Lu Yusheng explained.

"Very good," said Yao Ming, "I found that not only do you speak Chinese well, but your personality also maintains the characteristics of Chinese people, which are restrained and implicit. I really want to know, what do you think of your identity?"

Lu Yusheng was stunned, "What does it mean?"

"That's right, do you think you are a Chinese or a pure American?"

"It's all okay. China is my hometown, but I don't reject it. After all, I grew up here." Lu Yusheng said.

Yao Ming nodded, "Very good, that's it. I'm here to come to you today. The first thing is that I really want to see you. You know, it's really hard to see Asian defenders, especially point guards, in the NBA league. It's really rare to have a firm foothold. I just didn't expect that you would play so well and your future is limitless."

"Brother Yao, you have been proud, but you have only played five games. If you can achieve such achievements in the future, I will be content." Lu Yusheng said.

"Xiao Lu, don't be too humble. In this alliance, you still have to have a certain personality. Let's work hard together." Yao Ming said.

"good."

"I've come to you today, but there's another purpose..."

At this time, the waiter pushed the door and came in to serve the food. Yao Ming said, "Eat first, and talk while eating."

Yao Restaurant makes authentic Shanghai cuisine.

After Lu Yusheng left home, he hadn't eaten such pure Chinese food for a long time, and it was delicious for a while.

"How does it taste?" Yao Ming asked.

"Can't you tell me from my eating appearance?"

Yao Ming smiled, "The other thing I just told you is this. Isn't it? The 2008 BJ Olympics is coming soon. This is a very important thing for our China. After all, it is the first time and has a profound significance. Everyone attaches great importance to the Olympics. I believe you know it too."

"Well, of course I know this."

As Lu Yusheng, who had been an Olympic volunteer at BJ in his previous life, he certainly knew the significance of the BJ Olympics to China. It was a grand scene that demonstrated the style of China through the whole country, and it was a historic event that made all Chinese children excited.

Today, Yao Ming made a special trip to talk to him about this, intending that Lu Yusheng could guess eight or nine points.

"So, in this context, China really wants to achieve results in the Olympic Games it hosts, and all sports events are,

But you also know that our three major balls are indeed not good. In basketball, we have some hope in recent years. Our strength in the inside and forwards is pretty good, but to be honest, the point guard position is still a bit unprofitable at the world level. So... they are planning ahead now."

Yao Ming looked at Lu Yusheng and said, "You probably understand what I mean, right? You are the creative point guard we need."

To bring glory to China is naturally something Lu Yusheng dreams of. He did not have such an opportunity in his previous life, but now, the opportunity is in front of him.

But the problem is that this does not mean that you join directly if you want to join. It involves nationality, and there are also business problems caused by changes in nationality.

So, he still has to go back and discuss with his mother.

"Of course, I was also entrusted today. After all, I am just a player and I can't decide many things," Yao Ming said. "You have to decide for yourself. In this way, you should consider it carefully after you go back. If you have any intention, contact me again. Then you go and negotiate with them directly, but I guess the conditions should be to satisfy you."

Lu Yusheng understood that the people who were with Yao Ming just now were probably some leaders in China or those who passed messages to the leaders.

"What about your suggestions?"

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Why do you need to listen to my opinion?"

The reason why Lu Yusheng asked this is because he knew very well that when Yao Ming came to the NBA, he had obstructed him in every way. Moreover, Yao Ming's later knee injury was mainly caused by overwork in participating in national team games all year round.

The NBA game intensity is very strong. During the long season, the body is very tired and requires a long event to recover. The offseason duration is very scientifically planned. It is a good exercise for young people to participate in one session occasionally, but frequent participation will only overload their bodies and ultimately shorten their careers.

Yao Ming smiled and said, "If you listen to my opinion, then I definitely hope to play with you, not only in the national team, but I even hope you come to Houston to play with me. But I know that Kobe will definitely not agree. After O'Neal left, he has no helper. Now that he finally comes to help, he will definitely not let you go."

"I heard that he had recruited you before?" Lu Yusheng asked.

"Well, there is, it's true that when my contract expires this year, he and the Zen master recruited me, but I still chose to stay with the Rockets." Yao Ming said.

"Why not go to the Lakers? The environment there is better and your business value will be greater."

Yao Ming smiled faintly, "As a person, you can't just talk about money. Sometimes, you still have to be loyal. When I was going to the NBA draft, I encountered many difficulties. The Rockets helped me solve it so that I could come to the NBA to play smoothly, so it was actually a reward for the kindness I had met at the beginning."

Lu Yusheng nodded, "Then if you missed the championship because you did not join the Lakers, will you feel sorry for the future?"

Yao Ming frowned and smiled, "Why don't you look down on our Rockets' lineup so much? Our lineup is not worse than your Lakers at all, okay, McGrady is about the same strength as Kobe, our level is about the same, our two teams are actually about the same level."

Lu Yusheng smiled, "Just just don't regret it yourself."

But in fact, Lu Yusheng really wants to know whether Yao Ming, after retirement, would he regret not joining forces with Kobe when he saw Kobe lead the Lakers to win the championship twice again?

After all, McGrady didn't appreciate his stay in the Rockets. After McGrady retired, he kept saying that it was because Yao Ming was not strong enough that he did not win the championship.

Yao Ming really has the style of a big brother, and he is indeed very humorous, which makes the whole dinner very pleasant.

After returning to the hotel, he called Meng Xia first and consulted her for her opinion.

Meng Xia immediately opposed, "Lu, I tell you, it's best not to enter this game. Whether as a friend or as your agent, if you want to ask me for my opinion, I will tell you bluntly, I will object."

"Why?"

"First, if you change your nationality, you will lose a lot of business endorsements. I think you know this better than me. Many American entrepreneurs have great prejudice against China. This is caused by history and their lack of understanding of China.

But no matter what, this concept is difficult to reverse, so once you change your nationality, you will lose a lot of opportunities to make money." Meng Xia said.

"Is there any other reason besides the money matter?"

Lu Yusheng believes that money is important, but since he is reborn and has the opportunity, he must do some things he wants to do but cannot do in his previous life, such as bringing glory to the country.

After all, many things are not something that can be measured by money.

"Yes, and behind is the biggest reason." Meng Xia said.

"you say."

"I can understand your mentality of winning glory for China. In fact, I was a little surprised. After all, you didn't grow up there at all, so I admire you for having this idea.

But I tell you, you don’t understand China, but I understand that China’s affairs are different from here and there are very complicated ones, especially sports. It is not just sports, but involves many interests.

It’s not that you can solve the problem by playing well. When you get there, you have no relationship or background. At that time, I’m afraid that what you want to do will not be done, but will lose a lot of precious things. And there is a high probability that the result will be like this. I am a living example, so I firmly oppose it.”

Meng Xia has a firm attitude.

"All right."

"Then what did you think?" Meng Xia was a little anxious.

"I also want to ask my mother for advice."

"Oh, that's what you should do." Meng Xia said, "Hanyu, you must be calm and calm. I'm really afraid that you will regret it."

"Well, I know, okay, I have to go to bed early, there will be training and competition tomorrow."

As he said that, Lu Yusheng hung up the phone.
