Chapter 239: Propaganda Committee Organization Minister Nash

The Dallas Mavericks basically maintained last season's lineup, except for center Tyson Chandler being poached by the New York Knicks with an unreasonable money contract, but soon they introduced the same type of Haywood.

Defense slightly declined, offense slightly improved.

Strength maintains dynamic balance, but the desire for the championship is one step higher.

This is probably the last fight of this group of old guys.

If they hadn't lost to Fan Xi last season, and Fan Xi hadn't gotten the Finals ticket from them, maybe they would have gotten their wish last season.

However.

However.

After the big-score massacre of the Rockets, Fan Xi stayed in Houston for a day; he went to see Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was considering retirement; his stress fracture was very troublesome. Although Fan Xi's rise made his national team mission basically end, but... his journey in the NBA was no longer a smooth road.

Fan Xi gathered at Yao Ming's house, along with Nash and Carter. Nash and Yao Ming have the same agent, and Carter also has a friendship with Yao Ming.

"Why don't you come to the Clippers? Our team is missing one person in the 12-man roster, and each team can actually sign 14 or 15 people." Vince Carter said to Yao Ming after hearing Yao Ming's distress.

Yao Ming was flickering.

He was not firmly wanting to retire, although the doctor said that if he continued high-intensity exercise, the injury would recur.

But recently, he has actually been working hard to prepare for a comeback, and accepted the suggestions of Fan Xi and others; he carried out an excellent weight loss action.

His weight is falling rapidly, used to reduce the pressure on his knees and ankles.

"Maybe you should move to Los Angeles; Derek Rose is also accepting Chen's rehabilitation training; if you add them together, it will be more beneficial for the recovery of the injury."

Stephen Nash said to Yao Ming, and he told Yao Ming: "In fact, Dunleavy accepted my suggestion and is making a constructive offer to the Phoenix medical team; I believe with their help, your subsequent career is guaranteed."

"Grant and I are the best examples."

Nash said very sincerely.

The Suns' medical team is a gold-lettered signboard in the league; they help many elderly players maintain their physical state and help players who have had serious injuries maintain their athletic ability.

This is why Nash can still run around the court at 38, and it is also why Grant Hill, who was scrapped twice, played full for several seasons in the Suns.

Nash and Carter's words made Yao Ming very moved.

In fact, Yao Ming had the opportunity to go to Los Angeles long ago; at that time, the Lakers offered him a very challenging offer; if he didn't choose loyalty, then in 2006 he should have formed the then-league's very challenging inside-outside combination with Kobe, not to mention being on par with the OK combination, but it was definitely stronger than Yao Ming wasting his youth and peak combat power in the Rockets.

His combination with McGrady was proven to be a failure long ago, and the Lakers' investment in basketball was obviously not comparable to what the Rockets could compare.

However, Yao Ming chose loyalty at that time; he adhered to the morality and criteria in his heart. In fact, this is incompatible with this commercial league.

Yao Ming now understands these, especially Fan Xi helped the Lakers win the Finals MVP, and even risked tearing his ligaments, but the Lakers' senior management changed during the offseason, and still traded him without hesitation.

Yao Ming looked at Fan Xi.

Fan Xi smiled and said: "I watched you play since I was a child; you are the source of my pursuit of the NBA."

"So, if you join the Clippers, I will definitely be very happy. I dream of playing on the same court as you." Fan Xi said very sincerely.

Fan Xi's words made Yao Ming take a deep breath; he seemed to have made some kind of determination.

Then he said: "I will go to Los Angeles next week; I will train hard; before I am sure I have the ability to return to the NBA, I will keep training."

Yao Ming is a cautious and serious person.

Saying these words means he is serious.

This is a good thing.

For the Clippers, even if Yao Ming only recovers 30% of his peak strength, it is enough. He doesn't even need to run; just standing in the paint is a strong force.

In the era where the current speed is getting faster and faster, many people have ignored the lethality of super centers in the paint.

In fact, super centers gradually exited the stage, not because they were eliminated, but because there are fewer and fewer centers with super technology and super talent.

Peak Yao Ming, peak O'Neal, peak Four Great Centers stand in the paint, who dares to play small ball with them?

Nash led his Suns legion to gallop across the regular season, but wasn't he beaten by traditional strong teams in the playoffs?

The Clippers' lineup is actually very complete now, with all kinds of players, the only thing missing is Yao Ming, a player who can forcibly score in the paint.

The Clippers don't expect Yao Ming to return immediately and restore his peak combat power; Yao Ming only needs to provide key inside scoring in key moments of the playoffs, which is worth it.

When they came out of Yao Ming's house, Fan Xi and his party were all excited and excited.

"I feel like we are the real old people's club." Stephen Nash said to Fan Xi: "We old guys get together and can always do a big career."

Yes.

These old guys in the Clippers team have never won a championship, and their desire is no less than that group of old guys in Dallas.

So, when Stephen Nash met Jason Kidd at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, this pair of former league number one point guards met, and it was already a light-hearted mentality. "Hey, old guy, come to our team; Dallas has no future."

Nash is like a scout handing out flyers, saying to everyone he meets: Come, let's do it together.

Jason Kidd muttered two sentences, both of which were dirty words.

"Why don't you return to Dallas and do it with us?" Nowitzki hugged Nash's neck from behind; they were a pair of good friends when they were very young.

They grew up rapidly under Coach Nelson back then and established a thick friendship.

"Sigh!" Nash saw his old friend and sighed. Then he said to Nowitzki: "If you didn't win the championship this season, you should discuss it with Mark Cuban and come to our Clippers for a year; we old guys stay together and can always do a big thing."

The German tank was stunned; Nash, this propaganda committee organization minister, is really competent; whenever a guy is a little older, he thinks about pulling him into the group.

"I will definitely win the championship before you, Stephen, I firmly believe." Nowitzki said with great passion.

"Really?"

Nash maintained a tea-like smile: "I don't believe it."

Hahahaha.

Fan Xi's hearty voice sounded from behind; everyone turned their heads, and Fan Xi walked over with the Mavericks boss; it could be seen that they were talking happily.
