After Yao Ming and Francis' shooting competition, the Rockets' other people arrived, including Bartel, also came. And they were not following alone, but they entered the stadium with Mutombo and laughed.

This once again proves that the Rockets' atmosphere is really suitable for newcomers.

Of course, this is more or less related to Yao Ming.

Just like that, except Mutombo, other Rockets teammates who arrived at the stadium in advance also took the initiative to say hello to Bater.

This made the Mongolian man feel a little more flattered.

He has stayed at least two teams, but he has never enjoyed such treatment.

Fortunately, he is not a brainless person. When he glanced at Yao Ming, he naturally understood everything.

When Yao Ming saw him coming, he leaned over and greeted him in Chinese: "Here you come."

Bartel nodded: "Yeah."

"Come on in the new season!"

"Yeah, come on."

The two of them touched their fists.

The players arrived almost the same. Not long after, Tom and Thibodeau also came to the training hall. After chatting for a few irrelevantly, they officially announced the new season groupings discussed by the two of them.

When the tentative starting lineup and bench list were announced, the Rockets also had different expressions.

Like Lagabe, he looked surprised and didn't expect that a player who was a newcomer and had no outstanding performance in other teams could become the starter of the Rockets in the new season.

He looked around and found that others were looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head, but in his heart he secretly swears: This is an opportunity, Laga, you must seize it!

Mobri's expression dimmed directly. He didn't expect that he would be squeezed to the bench by a little infamous little devil, which made him bit his lips unconsciously, and there was a little unwillingness in his eyes.

Francis, who was standing next to him, noticed his frustration and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Mobri replied with a helpless smile.

However, what surprised everyone the most was that Karl Malone was also a substitute... This is someone who has only played 5 substitutes in his 18-year career in Salt Lake City!

Even Mobri, who was a little unwilling to accept that he would become a substitute, turned his head to look at Kalmaron. He didn't expect this guy to be a substitute...

But they were surprised that it was their business, and Karl Malone subconsciously turned his head to look at Yao Ming. After colliding with the latter's eyes, his eyes became firm.

What's so surprising about these mediocre people?

Everything is to prove my desire for a championship!

Is Kal Malone going to play a substitute for me?

I'll go!

I actually had a day when the regular season MVP played a substitute for me!

Kevin Cato felt that he was standing up. He had heard that the team had signed Kal Malone, but he was depressed for a long time. Because this guy came, it means that he would definitely play as a substitute. This year is his contract year. If he plays as a substitute, his chances of performance will be greatly reduced. I guess he would have a luxury to sign a pretty good contract next year.

He never expected that he would start, and that he could actually squeeze Karl Malone, the two-time All-Star, to the bench!

He took advantage of the inattention of others and secretly pinched himself...

Hiss~It hurts, that means this is true!

My buddy will have something to brag in the future!

Thanks to the Rockets and Tom, the last player Kevin Cato is willing to be Yao Ming forever!

"Okay, let's start training each other!"

After saying that, Tom did not continue to discuss the guys and urged them to enter the training as soon as possible.

Although it was the first day, everyone was still very motivated, especially Kevin Cato and Ragabele, who were very enthusiastic.

Compared with the two of them, Mobri is obviously much less motivated.

Finally, he stopped Tom directly: "Coach Rudy, I want to know if I am not outstanding enough!"

Tom looked at his somewhat depressed look and patted his shoulder: "Man, although you can't believe me, but I really think so. I need you, so I put you on the bench. I need you to take on the Rockets' bench rotation stage!"

Mobri's expression was still entangled when he heard this.

Tom patted his shoulder again: "Adjust your mindset, and when the season really starts, you will find, man, what I said is true!"

After saying this, Tom left directly. Mobri did not stop him anymore. Tom said that he needed him to play as a substitute, so what else could he say.

But he still couldn't accept the word "substitute"!

How could a truly capable person be a substitute?

He walked to the locker room in frustration, and someone suddenly slapped him in the back: "Hey, man, why are you still unhappy!"

He forced his head to look at him. He knew it was Francis who photographed him. He could hear it by listening to the sound. It was because of Francis that he turned his head.

"Are you still depressed by the substitute?"

"Yeah." Mobri did not deny it.

"I think it's a good thing, man!" said Frances, "Don't forget, this year is your contract year!"

"It is precisely because it is the year of the contract that I am so depressed!" Mobri said another reason for his depressedness.

First, he does not accept the status of a substitute. In his opinion, people with real strength can definitely become the starting lineup, and only those with insufficient strength will become the substitute lineup.

In addition, because this season is his contract year and becomes a substitute, he has less playing time and has no time. Where can he play data?

Where can I get a big contract?

Frances reminded: "Catino, don't forget that you averaged only 14.4 points last season, which is much less than your previous season!"

"There is nothing to do about this. Yao is so outstanding. You can't let him give me the right to take action, right?"

"So! Man, you don't have much right to attack in the starting lineup anyway. Why not hit the sixth person and enjoy unlimited fire rights? Are you still afraid that you can't make data?"

After Francis said this, Cartino's eyes suddenly became more enlightened!

yes!

If I go to the bench, won’t it be mine to take action at that time?

Are you still afraid that you can't print out the data?

With the data, am I still afraid that I won’t get a big contract?

"Steve, thank you, I figured it out!"

Mobri's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Of course, he still had a little bit of entanglement in his heart.

As for the reason, he still has the same view: those who are capable will start, and those who are not capable will play as a substitute.

But now he is going to the bench to make money...

Make money, don’t lose money!

Mobri left happily.

Shortly after he left, Yao Ming chased after him and walked side by side with Frances.

"How about it?"

"Yao, you really have it, Cartino accepted it!"

"That's fine!" Yao Ming nodded.

That's right, what Francis said was taught to him by Yao Ming, otherwise how could he say such logical words in his mind?

However, it was not Yao Ming who took the initiative to teach Francis, but Francis came to ask Yao Ming. He saw that Mobley was unhappy during training in the afternoon and wanted to enlighten the latter, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask for help from Yao Ming.

Yao Ming also saw Mobri's depressedness in the afternoon. He had already planned to comfort him, but had also thought about how to comfort him. Francis volunteered and immediately gave him this opportunity.

Some words are more suitable for Francis than Yao Ming.

Moreover, in terms of relationships, Francis and Mobri have a better relationship.

After solving this, Francis's entire expression relaxed for a long time.

The two of them walked out of the locker room one after another. Before they could pull the door, the door opened by itself. Mobri poked his head out of it, looking ugly, just like eating shit: "You might as well wait and go in, Carl is sewing his socks..."

"Sew socks?"

Yao Ming was stunned, then reacted, and his face changed. By the way, how could I forget this?

This guy's quirks are famous throughout the league... This is a cruel person who can wear a pair of socks for a season - a cruel person who breaks the seams, stitches, and then stitches again!

Most importantly, this guy doesn’t wash his socks yet... the socks can stand up until the end of a season!

no!

Absolutely not possible!

You must never let this guy create such a chemical weapon in Houston.

Yao Ming immediately entered the door and wanted to talk to Kal Malone.

As a result, a smell of sauerkraut forced him out directly.
