"I have a way to restore you to your condition. What you need to consider is whether you can endure hardship like you did back then."
Xu Xin said.
"are you serious?"
Iverson re-examined the young man in front of him.
"certainly."
Xu Xin affirmed.
"Okay, I'll try again."
Iverson shouted, and his momentum suddenly changed.
Did you agree so easily?
Xu Xin was a little in disbelief.
Iverson saw the confusion in Xu Xin's eyes, he smiled casually and said:
"I need to repay the debt, although I have almost paid it off. After all, I also have an endorsement contract. The most important thing is that I have children to raise. This is my responsibility as a father, and I have no shirk."
"For the sake of the kids, have a drink."
Without saying a word, Xu Xin took Iverson to the bar opposite. The joy in my heart could no longer be suppressed. I could not find it even after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. I just met the person I was looking for.
No retirement, no contract, once the top player in the league, such harsh conditions are simply tailor-made for Iverson.
Iverson was taken aback by Xu Xin's enthusiasm and quickly backed away and said:
"No more drinking, no more drinking. I will resume training tomorrow and get back to my form as soon as possible."
Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had never seen you so self-disciplined when he was young, but he still replied:
"Okay, let's go to the Rockets' base in Houston tomorrow. This is the address."
Xu Xin said and handed Iverson a business card.
"Well, can you sign a contract first?"
Iverson hesitated and said with some embarrassment.
Xu Xin suddenly realized it and handed Iverson a wad of cash.
"The contract can't be signed now. I only have so much on me. You use it first. After arriving in Houston, I will ask my assistant to pick you up and help you settle in. We will sign the contract after the Rockets' away game is over."
Xu Xin explained.
Iverson looked at Xu Xin, and his gratitude was beyond words. He met Xu Xin by chance and trusted him so much. He not only helped him solve his troubles, but also gave him a job and arranged all aspects.
Iverson stepped forward and gave Xu Xin a bear hug.
"Thank you, Manager Xu."
Iverson said it from the heart.
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
Xu Xin was a little at a loss. This was the first time in his life that he was hugged by a man. He patted Iverson on the back and said.
The two chatted for a few more words and said goodbye.
Xu Xin was in a good mood, and the big stone that was weighing on his heart finally fell to the ground.
Back at the hotel, Xu Xin lay comfortably on the bed and checked the system interface. The points balance was: 1,250. After completing this task, he could earn another 250!
I recall that when I first took office, the team was in dire straits and had very few points. After more than two months of hard work, everything is getting better and better.
I don’t know how Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are recovering. Counting the time, they will soon come to Houston for systematic training.
Xu Xin was thinking when the phone rang.
"Manager Xu, are you still asleep?"
A rich voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Xin smiled slightly, no, just say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is here.
"Not yet, how are you doing lately, Brother Yao?"
The caller was none other than Yao Ming.
"Your massage technique is amazing. I have never felt so comfortable in my knees and ankles. I communicate with Tracy McGrady frequently, and his physical condition has improved a lot. In recent games, he has easily averaged over 40 points per game. ,Ha ha."
Yao Ming smiled.
"Great, I was just thinking about how you guys are recovering. From the looks of it, you can definitely make it to the playoffs this year."
Xu Xin said.
"Yes, I am doing physical training now, trying to adjust my physical condition within half a month. Tracy McGrady's contract will also end this month, and we plan to go to Houston at the end of the month."
Yao Ming said.
"Okay, tell me before you come, I must arrange a grand pick-up."
Xu Xin smiled.
"Don't, keep a low profile and make it look like a championship parade without even playing a game. If you collapse during the game, you will become a laughing stock. Just make the reception banquet more grand."
Yao Ming still has the usual Yao humor,
"Actually, it's not that grand. You're overthinking it."
Xu Xin joked.
"You kid, hahaha."
The two exchanged words with each other and chatted about daily life. Xu Xin could tell that Yao Ming's physical condition had improved and his mentality had also changed a lot. He was no longer as decadent as when they first met.
After meeting Iverson by chance and receiving good news from the other side of the ocean, Xu Xin was so excited that he lost sleep.
I got up hard the next day, with two dark circles under my eyes, and went with the team to the next city, Boston.
There is also no suspense in this game. After winning the championship in the 2008 season, the problem of the Celtics' aging lineup has long been a commonplace. With Ray Allen leaving Miami last summer and Kevin Garnett heading west to Houston, the former Big Three only Paul Pierce is left struggling to hold on.
Anji has realized that a blood change is needed, and the rejuvenation of the team's lineup is also being implemented.
But in recent years, the Green Army still wants to fight again before the championship window closes. The draft picks are relatively low, and the current young people on the team have limited potential except Avery Bradley.
Even Bradley is only a second- or third-tier player at best. All-Star status is his upper limit. If his development does not meet expectations, he may just be a piece of the puzzle to win the championship.
After thinking about it, Anjie decided that it was time to make a decision without breaking or establishing. Destroying the situation became the only issue for the team this season.
At the beginning of the season, he was still playing the role of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Recently, it has been a showdown. Seeing who loses, the more he loses, the braver he becomes. He dives all the way. Currently, he is ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference, only 3 away from the last Cavaliers. The gap in defeat.
On the day of the game, Anji was very enthusiastic and invited Xu Xin to have dinner with him as a landlord, and then watched the game together in an exclusive box.
During this period, there was naturally some lobbying to Xu Xin. Xu Xin had a headache because the old man was too persistent.
Fortunately, the pre-game tribute event started, which was a favor to Xu Xin.
Garnett walked onto the court, and the highlight moments of Wolf King's Green Army career were played on the big screen above the court. The MC at the scene shouted the Wolf King's name. The fans in the audience gave this meritorious veteran thunderous applause, thanking him for his contribution to the team over the years. of contribution.
Garnett had tears in his eyes and waved thanks. Compared with many players who returned to their former home stadium and were booed after being traded, Garnett's love is rare.
This is a reflection of a player's strength and personality.
The tribute is over, the main players of both sides are ready to take the field, and the game is about to begin.
Chandler Parsons went straight to the Rockets bench to chat with old friends.
Xu Xin smiled knowingly when he saw this scene. When it gathered, it was like a ball of fire, and when it dispersed, it was filled with stars.
