NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

"good news?"

After hearing Lin Lei's words, Dayao blinked, his expression full of doubts.

"Don't stay here for long!""

Lin Lei spoke to Dayao in Chinese language, and some things didn't need to be said more.

Both of them are people with extremely high emotional intelligence, and they did not hesitate for a moment. After returning to the locker room, they exchanged a few words with the others, politely declined the invitation of Westbrook and others to go out to celebrate, and walked out of Stan together. Puth Center.

At this moment, the night is already deep, and the whole Los Angeles is also immersed in the night, and the neon flashes also have a different kind of beauty.

After arriving at a nearby restaurant, the two took their seats and didn't eat too much. Lin Lei looked at Dayao and asked directly.

"How's the injury on your foot?"

"Well, thank you so much!"

As soon as he mentioned the injury on his foot, Dayao also had a look of relief on his face.

"It's only been a few months, and I'm not only able to walk normally, but also do some light shooting moves and physical 11-on-11 resistance.

And after this adjustment, I found that the bouncing power that I had lost before was gradually coming back.

It is also moving towards a younger age, at least 5 years younger!"

Dayao's remarks are undoubtedly very surprising.

Even Lin Lei showed a satisfied smile after hearing it, so he changed the subject and said.

"Then when are you going to come back, and what are your plans in the future!"

"This..."

When it came to paying and future plans, Dayao put away the excitement on his face, his expression was full of daze, he thought for a moment, and finally said with a sigh.

"I really can't say this, the Rockets will probably have a hard time entering the playoffs this season, plus Fatty Mo has done so many things, I don't want to stay in this team anymore.

But after becoming a free agent, if I didn't think about which team, this season is completely abolished anyway!"

"Don't be pessimistic, maybe there is a turning point in this matter?"

Seeing Dayao's somewhat decadent look, Lin Lei smiled and shook his head.

"What's the turnaround?"

Dayao thought that Lin Lei was comforting himself, but naturally he didn't take it to heart. After all, he had been in the league for so many years and had never heard of it. What could be worse than the current situation.

First of all, Dayao is very clear that he is the cash cow of the Rockets, and even if he can't play now, he can bring a lot of attention.

Especially a small ball market like the Rockets itself is not liked by fans. If he loses him, it is estimated that the entire market will be reduced by at least half.

What's more, the game has played to the present, and most teams in the league can enter the playoffs. Under normal circumstances, they will not make lineup adjustments.

He will not come up with a high price in exchange for a player like him who is seriously injured and who is not sure about his future.

For those teams that have not entered the playoffs, they are even more worried. Dayao is 30 years old this year. He is extremely uneconomical.

This is equivalent to a dead end, so that Dayao himself has no way to leave the Rockets, and there is no way to jump out of this salary contract. He can only make plans after the contract ends.

Lin Lei is naturally very clear about Dayao's psychological thoughts, so he did not go around any further, but said directly.

"Are you interested in joining the Lakers and winning a championship with me?

"what!"

Lin Lei's words were like a nuclear bomb squad, which made Dayao's whole body covered for a while, and he stared at Lin Lei in front of him with wide-eyed doubts.

At the same time, Dayao realized that he was in the restaurant, his voice was a little loud just now, and even attracted the attention of other guests, he suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

To be able to make Dayao so shocked, it can be seen that this news is particularly important to him, and it is even more elusive.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Kobe also publicly solicited Dayao, hoping that he would join the Lakers and win a championship with him.

But Dayao still carried China's traditional mentality at that time, thinking that since he joined the Rockets, he would be here forever.

It is a very good wish to choose one person and one city, but the premise is that this city and this team are worthy of his staying.

Although the original Rockets looked very good, they actually didn't have much humanistic care. The owner and general manager regarded this team as a bargaining chip, and they did not reinforce Dayao with any strong teammates.

If Dayao and McGrady are matched with a few really powerful teammates at the peak, it is estimated that the two of them will have won the championship long ago, and they will not be injured.

McGrady has become a fringe figure in the league, and was finally abandoned by the Rockets for no reason.

If Dayao can't make money for the Rockets now, what awaits him is the same result as McGrady.

But the current situation is that the Rockets will really let themselves go for no reason?

You know, the Lakers are already very nervous about this year's cap space, and have even exceeded the luxury tax for a long time.

In this case, the salary contract must be matched, and the Rockets must be satisfied. This bargaining chip is really hard to find.

At present, the only ones who can attract the attention of the Rockets are Lin Lei and Kobe. After all, they have a huge market.

For the Rockets, making money is the top priority. Although Pau Gasol and Bynum also have good strength, they even participated in the All-Star team.

But their market power is a lot worse than that of Dayao, so it is a big problem whether the Rockets can trade 167 or not.

Looking at Dayao's somewhat puzzled look, Lin Lei did not answer immediately, but pretended to be deep.

"As for the specifics of the deal, and the bargaining chip, you don't need to worry about it.

Now all you have to do is go back to Houston and pack your stuff, then come to Los Angeles to buy a house and get ready to come back in the playoffs!

There are still more than 20 games before the playoffs, which is about two months.

It's time to get acquainted with the team and the local environment, and make the final preparations for the next playoffs and the championship. "

Although Lin Lei's words felt like a fantasy, Dayao knew his little brother very well.

Lin Lei not only helped him heal his injuries, but also promoted China's culture, which is something Dayao has been working hard for all these years but has been unable to do.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Lei has not even entered the league for a season, but he has done something that Dayao has not done in nearly 10 years.

This achievement alone is enough to make Dayao choose to believe him for no reason.

After thinking for a while, Dayao finally nodded and replied with a very firm tone:

"Okay, then I'll go back to Houston to pack up, if I can really join the Lakers, I'll definitely win a championship with you!
