When the Rockets returned to Houston, they were warmly welcomed by fans. Hundreds of enthusiastic Rockets fans were blocked outside the airport and laughed loudly as if they were having Christmas. When the players appeared, the fans quickly surrounded them and cheered wildly:

"Guys, Houston is proud of you!"

"Li Yuntian, you are the surprise given to us by God!"

"We aim to kill the Bostonians!"

The players smiled and said goodbye to the fans and walked onto the bus that the team came to pick up. McGrady got on the bus with a expressionless face. He didn't say a word since he got off the plane. Only a few of the fans who came to greet them mentioned his name, which made him very unhappy.

Li Yuntian was very happy. If it weren't for the team's security guards' blocking him, there would probably be a hundred fans coming to ask him for autographs. What made him happiest was that nearly half of the fans who came to the airport were wearing his No. 8 jersey.

This good mood continued until he returned to the apartment. When he saw Li Yuntian coming back, Doug Sadmons gave him a big bear hug and shouted happily: "Li, you are so amazing, my God, you actually scored 30 points at the North Shore Bank Garden Stadium! Do you know what this means? You are the first of all the rookies to complete such a miracle! Look, these newspapers are all your news!"

There were more than a dozen newspapers on the coffee table, and there were large photos of him on the homepage. Li Yuntian picked up the top one, and the title was: "Trade McGrady, Li Yuntian is the future of Houston."

Seeing this title, Li Yuntian almost fainted on the ground. These reporters are indeed senior black. Aren’t they sowed the relationship between him and McGrady? Although he performed extremely well in the last three games, Li Yuntian knew very well that he was still far from McGrady. The main reason why he performed so well was that his opponents didn’t know his abilities. Once he studied him thoroughly, his good days would be over.

"This is written by Mr. Fran Billingburley, the biggest reporter in Houston," Doug leaned over and smiled after looking at it, "Lee, I want to congratulate you. You have been caught in the eyes of Dad Billing. This shows that you do have the ability to lead Houston basketball forward. Dad Billing is a ball-shot and his vision is top in the entire NBA..."

"Dad Billin?" Li Yuntian interrupted Doug and asked. This name was a bit familiar. He remembered the fat little old man he would meet every time he practiced. Since Wayne Hall appeared, he knew that this little old man was probably not just a cleaner, because no matter how good the cleaner was, it would not be possible to make the best physical trainer in the NBA bow down.

Doug shrugged and smiled, "Yes, Dad Billing, players and fans call him that. You may not know him, but you will definitely meet in the future. He has a lot of energy in Houston basketball. In the last century, he was the Rockets' scout director. In 2002, he chose Yao as the No. 1 pick and decided by him, Dawson and Tom Jakovic."

Li Yuntian nodded in the newspaper and said thoughtfully: "Maybe we have seen it." He had to thank God for the good luck he gave him. He could meet noble people with simple post-match extra training. Is this the realistic version of "opportunities always favor those who are prepared"?

The two of them were joking. Li Yuntian was about to rest, and Ma Yuan and others came to the door. As soon as they met, Ma Yuan complained: "Yuntian, where is your phone? What's going on? I can't contact you in the past two days."

Li Yuntian smiled and said, "It's broken."

Ma Yuan nodded considerately and said, "Then you buy a new one. I thought you were deliberately avoiding us." As he said that, he laughed and said to the people behind him, "You also said that Yuntian has become a big name and forgot about us old people. I all said that he is not such a person. Yuntian is not familiar with him when I see him entering the professional league. How can I not be familiar with him?"

The other people nodded timidly and said yes. Li Yuntian felt disgusted when he saw it. He knew that Ma Yuan was hitting him to prevent him from throwing away these people and flying solo.

"Are you here to come to me for this?" Li Yuntian asked with a smile.

Ma Yuan shook his head exaggeratedly and said, "How is this possible? What's the matter? Uncle Ma, I trust you very much. That's right. The negotiation between us and Morena is about to end. Now we will prepare to sign a contract. If you can't contact us by phone, we can only come to you."

Li Yuntian said goodbye to Doug and followed Ma Yuan to Morey's office at Toyota Center. On the way, Ma Yuan told him that after arduous negotiations, the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement. Li Yuntian would sign a guaranteed contract with the Rockets for one year, with a seasonal salary of about 1.5 million.

Li Yuntian thought about it in his heart and felt that the price was similar. The Rockets' stinginess with rookies is very famous in the entire league. Brooks is a first-round rookie and signed only 5.15 million in four years. Although he performed well in the last three games, in the eyes of experts, he is not as valuable as Brooks, and the gap in physical fitness is there.

When everyone arrived, Morey was already waiting in the office. Seeing Li Yuntian, the most trusted manager of Alexander first gave him a hug with enthusiasm and laughed: "Let's see who is here? Our little sweet fruit in Houston! Li, I have to say, you're so beautiful, I have to give you a big contract, otherwise Houston fans will not forgive me."

Li Yuntian responded politely: "Dalil, you are too polite. In fact, this is all your credit. If you didn't give me the chance to come to the Rockets, I would have starved to death on the streets."

Morey laughed and said, "I like kids like you. You are as modest and funny as Yao, and there is a fundamental difference from those rude black rookies."

Although this sentence was an open praise of Li Yuntian, he was unhappy at all. Morey said this as a naked and naked contempt for Brooks and Landry. From the perspective of a professional manager, his words were very inappropriate.

But no one cares about this sentence at this time, and Morey didn't care at all. He took out the contract and said, "Come on, Li, sign this contract. As long as you sign the name on this piece of paper, then my child, you will become a millionaire!"

Ma Yuan was sought after to take over the contract. He frowned and said, "Manager Morey, are you kidding? What is this salary? 1 million, and it is a pre-tax salary? Are you kidding or are you looking down on us Yuntian?"

As soon as he talked about the dollar, Morey's smile disappeared. He sat back on his office chair and said relaxedly: "Is there any problem? Are you unsatisfied with this contract? Don't be like this guy. God hates greedy people, and Lee is worth one million, which everyone knows."

Morey's last words made Li Yuntian feel like he had eaten a fly. He stared at the other party's fat face with a greasy face, wishing he could punch him. What does it mean that I am worth one million?!

Ma Yuan released the resentment in Li Yuntian's heart: "Don't let me question your IQ, Mr. Morey, you said that an all-around player who averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists was only worth one million? Do you think this was in the 1980s? Two million, less than this price, don't want my Yuntian to sign it on it!"

Several people bargained fiercely around the contract. Li Yuntian sat on the sofa and watched coldly. At this time, he felt that he had become a piece of goods, and both the buyer and the seller wanted to buy it at a price that was most beneficial to him. No one would care about the feeling of the goods, even if the goods were essentially one person.

"One.5 million, this is our bottom line. If you think it's not enough, then please leave my office, because I don't like greedy guys and don't know how to do it." Morey put his hands on his head and looked at Ma Yuan coldly, with his contempt in his eyes unconcealed.

Li Yuntian was angry with Morey's expression. He wanted to leave now, so he didn't believe that no team would accept him in these three games. As long as he could stay in the NBA, he believed that he would definitely be successful and famous, the domineering of the basketball emperor system had begun to show.

Ma Yuan and Morey looked at each other for a while, and he called Li Yuntian out and said, "This price..."

Li Yuntian was very excited by the word "price", and he flatly refused: "Morey never trusted me. In his eyes, I am not a potential player at all, but just a box office tool. Let's go, I don't believe in this price. Other teams are unwilling to accept me."

Ma Yuan was startled by Li Yuntian's irritable temper. He stopped him and said, "Don't, Yuntian, don't act irritating. Besides, there may be no team willing to renew your contract with you at a higher price. One million and a half million are not bad. Do you feel that this price is not worthy of you?"

Li Yuntian said coldly: "Didn't you just say that I averaged 20+4+4 per game? Do you think this price is very similar to this data?"

After hearing this, Ma Yuan showed a sarcastic sneering laughter on his face, but soon he hid the expression and said helplessly: "Yuntian, ask me to say that the Rockets are good. Yao Ming can help you here. If you go to another team, you may be isolated. Then you can't even get the ball. Why can't you average 20 points per game? If you want me, you'd better sign this contract."

Ma Yuan and others have the same attitude as Morey. They do not believe that the data of these three games was won by Li Yuntian by virtue of their strength. Morey even believes that Li Yuntian has made the data for the contract. Ma Yuan's idea at this time was to take advantage of the fact that Li Yuntian still had oil and water on him, and he could make a little profit.
