But what surprised Lin Ying was that Yao Ming didn't know!

Lin Ying nodded.

Because I got along well with Billups, we once discussed the details of the transaction.

At that time, the Rockets took the initiative to find the Pistons and offered Tracy McGrady a bargaining chip in exchange for Billups and Hamilton.

The Pistons were unwilling to trade Hamilton, and after in-depth negotiations between the two parties, the bargaining chip became Billups and Prince, who appeared in rumors.

The Rockets had agreed, but just before the official announcement, Alexander vetoed the deal.

This is similar to the fact that the Hornets were vetoed by Stern during the league's trusteeship period. It was a veto made by the team owner.

"There is basically no communication between us."

Yao Ming sighed.

Knowing these unknown things made him even more unwilling.

"I remember that he also attended your charity dinner?"

Lin Ying had the impression that this was the case.

"Yes, it was just a matter of situation. I didn't even talk to him at that dinner."

Lin Ying nodded, no wonder Yao Ming would describe him as a businessman.

He is unwilling to talk to his own star players, which is much worse than Bass and Cuban.

But it's not the only one. Many NBA teams are only part of the owner's numerous industries, and they may still be a very small part.

Even in the eyes of some bosses, players are just hired by them to play games and are not in the same class. To chat with them is to degrade themselves.

"He doesn't seem to know much about basketball. I tried to communicate with him once. He mainly does stock trading. When we talked, I didn't know if he was bragging or something. He made up to 20 million in one day in New York. The Rockets

It only earned him 30 million yuan a year."

When Yao Ming said this, he reached out and touched his mouth, and finally couldn't help laughing.

This time it was Lin Ying's turn to be surprised.

In his memory, he always thought that Alexander was very poor.

It seems that the media really can’t believe it.

"Jewish."

Finally, Yao Ming used a more insightful sentence to sum up.

"It doesn't seem like you're going well with the Nuggets? I've seen a lot of trade rumors about you before?"

Yao Ming asked about Lin Ying's situation in turn.

Just like Lin Ying said at the beginning, just chat, just talk about whatever you catch.

"Well, I'll probably leave Denver at the end of the season."

Lin Ying has no reservations about two people now, one is Durant and the other is Yao Ming.

Moreover, people hold back their thoughts too much and need to find someone to talk to.

"Why? Haven't you already reached the Western Conference Finals?"

Now it was Yao Ming's turn to be surprised.

"Look at the next game against the Lakers. If we can't win, we should leave."

The reason why Lin Ying decided to take another step forward was because of the series that just ended.

G2 proved that Anthony is still the same Anthony.

What Anthony is showing now, just like what Walken Dean said on the phone before, is to prove that he can, like James, defeat the Lakers who once defeated him.

In other words, if he couldn't be defeated, then Anthony would probably go back.

The rookie's third year is crucial, and he really doesn't want to gamble this year.

Especially since he is someone who traveled back in time, knowing that in history, the Nuggets lost to the Lakers in this year, and then the next year, even with Billups, the Nuggets still went out in the first round.

Anthony, as a person, really can only do that.

Once it's over, I won't be able to get hard anymore.

"Why? I'm just chatting. I think changing teams would be risky. In the Nuggets, you are at least one of the core members."

Yao Ming didn't speak like a stranger, but just like a friend.

His weight loss was finally proven correct, and Lin Ying, who gave the advice, was now at least on the same level as him in his mind.

"For the championship."

Lin Ying answered very directly.

Of course, he didn't say that for the sake of his dream, he would be laughed at if he chatted like that with that little girl Yang Shuyu, and if he chatted like that with Yao Ming.

"Championship."

Yao Ming grinned as he spoke.

These words hurt his heart a little.

And he couldn't say anything more because he stayed on the team, but it wasn't until this year that they reached the second round of the playoffs.

Rookie Lin Ying made it to the Western Conference Finals in his second year...

"Dayao, haven't you ever thought about changing teams?"

After talking about this, Lin Ying also asked.

"You are different from me. You are the core wherever you go. And we just talked about Alexander. What do you think is the probability of winning the championship if you play under an owner who doesn't understand basketball, is unwilling to spend money, and likes to get involved?"

"The Rockets have had two championships under him before."

Yao Ming replied.

"The Spurs still have four championships. That was because he didn't interfere when he first bought the team."

Lin Ying said half of it, and the other half will hurt people, but there is also a strength gap between Yao Ming, Olajuwon, and Duncan.

Yao Ming was silent for a while.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. I originally wanted to talk about opening a restaurant here, but based on what you said, I have to see where you go next season."

He finally chose to change the topic.

Lin Ying didn't chat anymore.

But he had a plan in mind.

If he remembered correctly, Yao Ming's contract with the Rockets had no player options and expired in the summer of 2011.

Historically, Yao Ming retired after the 2009-10 season, so there was no issue of contract renewal or new contract.

But now Yao Ming is not injured, which means he will be a free agent in the summer of 2011.

Yao Ming, an unrestricted free agent? That will definitely be exciting!

And his desire for the championship has become even more intense.

Why doesn't Anthony listen to anyone, but is willing to listen to Billups?

Because Billups has a championship.

If he can win the championship before Yao Ming's contract expires, maybe Yao Ming's thoughts will be different by then.

Why does Lin Ying want Yao Ming to change teams? Is it because he knows Yao Ming will not succeed in the Rockets and wants to help him?

Of course not!

History has changed. Who knows if Yao Ming will win a championship if he continues to stay with the Rockets.

Although judging from the content of the previous two people's conversation, there is a high probability that they will not.

But Lin Ying cannot make a final conclusion about the changed historical trajectory.

He is mainly...

See if you have a chance to play with Yao Ming!

The fact that the Chinese team won medals in the Olympic Games shows one thing, he and Yao Ming are a good match!

A space inside plus a dominant center, this itself is the best combination of inside!

And in 2011, his rookie contract just expired!

…

The day after the series between the Nuggets and Rockets ended, the tiebreaker between the Celtics and Magic ended.

The Celtics were defeated by the Magic and their title defense came to an abrupt end.

Without Garnett, the Celtics still reached the seventh game with the Magic.

If he is not injured, there is a high probability that the Magic will still be unable to defeat him.
