Moving is a very hard thing.

Especially from one city to another.

Of course, sometimes, it is not that hard.

Paul Allen once again showed his ability to make money: "Yao, I seem to have a villa that is quite close to Moda Center. It only takes half an hour to drive. You can use it to save you from finding a place!"

like?

How can a house be forgotten just by forgetting?

You are just a person!

However, even though he complained, Yao Ming did not refuse. He still hates looking for a house. It is good to have ready-made living now. Anyway, they are renting houses. Renting the boss is no different from renting other people's.

Besides... the boss will definitely not charge him money!

Although I have been with Paul Allen for only a few hours, Yao Ming has deeply realized that he is a poor man and can save a little bit.

"That's it, man, we'll see you at Moda Center Stadium!"

Paul Allen reached out to feel that Yao Ming was great again, and he obviously did not plan to participate in the next arrangement.

But this is good. The boss is too enthusiastic, which is a very burdensome thing. Paul Allen is quite conscientious!

Steve Patterson took Yao Ming and Bill Duffy to the villa that Paul mentioned, and left. Before leaving, he looked the same as Paul Allen, and said, "Meet at Moda Center Stadium" and left.

Steve Patterson, the person who helped the move, had already arranged for Yao Ming, so Yao Ming didn't need help. He slowly walked around the house, looked around, and became familiar with the surrounding environment. He didn't know how long he would live here next!

Although this villa has been idle by Paul Allen, it is well maintained and looks very clean. It should be cleaned often. After cleaning it again, it looks even more spotless.

Yao Ming nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the entire living environment.

I gave Paul Allen another thumbs up.

He is not the one who "remembers and not eats". Of course he will take the kindness of others to him to heart.

Of course, he also knew why Paul Allen was so kind to him, and he immediately said in his heart: Don't worry, I will definitely win you the championship before leaving!

The next day, Yao Ming, accompanied by Bill Duffy, reported to the Moda Center on time. Although the training camp will take more than a week to start, he must first undergo a physical examination. Only when he, Zach Randolph and Miles pass the physical examination, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers' transaction was officially completed.

There is no problem with Yao Ming. He just finished the Olympics and had a physical examination before the Olympics.

Seeing that Yao Ming passed the physical examination report, Steve Patterson was completely relieved. Morey had already called him not long ago, and Zach Randolph and Miles passed the physical examination successfully.

In other words, from today on, Yao Ming has officially become a member of the Trail Blazers, and there is no problem with this transaction.

"Yao, I'll ask you next!"

Steve Patterson's eyes were filled with eager expectations.

Yao Ming nodded slightly: "Come on!" Although he knew in his heart that the key point of whether the Trail Blazers could rise was indeed him, he didn't need to say anything big. Steve Patterson, John Nash, and boss Paul Allen, all have to play a key role in it. The good news is that at least so far, these guys have good attitudes.

At least, it is much more active than Yao Ming originally expected.

They are so motivated that Yao Ming naturally feels that the future is brighter.

Steve Patterson then took Yao Ming to meet Morris Chicks.

As a player, Morris Chicks can be regarded as a star. The 76ers' steal king is the fifth in the NBA's steal list. He has been selected as the All-Star four times. These honors are enough to win more flowers and applause than most players!

But as the head coach, he is still a rookie and has no good experience.

However, this guy has a pretty good personality charm. When he was an assistant coach at 76ers in 2001, he was recognized by Allen Iverson. So far, many media have insisted that if it weren't for Chicks' departure, the relationship between Larry Brown and Allen Iverson would not be as bad as it was later.

It shows his personal charm.

In other words, the Trail Blazers management valued him and chose to invite him to serve as head coach.

Unfortunately, his arrival has not changed anything. The "prison team" or the "prison team" must be rebuilt through demolition and reconstruction to completely change the image of the "prison team".

But whether it should be said or not, the Trail Blazers, which had such a bad internal relationship, made it to the playoffs last season, Chicks also proved that he still had two tricks.

This may be why the Trail Blazers management pushed the entire team to rebuild but continued to hire him as the head coach!

Yao Ming doesn't care whether the head coach's ability is good or not. He cares more about how much freedom the head coach can give him. This is what he cares more about. Just like he likes Tom, but in terms of tactical arrangement, Tom must be unable to compare with tactical masters like Popovich and Rick Carlisle, but does this affect the relationship between Yao Ming and him?

Not!

To be honest, basketball is not football. Sometimes, no matter how well the head coach arranges, there is no way to play on the court. Moreover, the basketball court is so big, and the situation on the court is really changing every second. Just listening to the head coach's arrangements, eating shit cannot keep up with the warmth. You still have to have your own ideas.

Yao Ming also expressed this point slightly tactfully. Chiks did not express any dissatisfaction, but since this was only the first time we met, Yao Ming didn't know whether he was sincere or echoed, so he was not completely relieved.

Steve Patterson joined Yao Ming and Chicks in a short while, and he gave Yao Ming the current Trail Blazers player lineup.

"Look at it, Yao, this is the current Trail Blazers' roster!"

By the way, he also brought several folders and handed them to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming first glanced at the player list, then looked through the folders: "What are these?"

Steve Patterson said: "There is no free agent list yet. You are here. Yao, please help see which players need to sign!"

You can spare me!

Yao Ming was really overwhelmed when he saw these folders.

When do you want to see this?

However, despite his heart complaining, Yao Ming knew that Patterson was expressing his attitude. He said yesterday that he would cooperate with him. Today, he immediately took all the free agent list in front of Yao Ming and asked him to choose.

There is no way, "Manager Yao" must take office immediately!

Think about it, the training camp is coming soon, it’s time to select people early. Only by selecting people early can you get into the chemistry early!

But...this is too much, right?

This training camp is about to begin, are there so many free agents?

"Everyone is waiting for you!" Steve Patterson seemed to see Yao Ming's doubts and replied, "Before you were traded, everyone left enough chips to be prepared to grab people, so naturally they didn't dare to sign people casually!"

All right!

Yao Ming nodded, and he understood.

Since something happened, he has indeed not paid much attention to the outside trends.

Yao Ming did not rush to look at the free agent list, but stared at the current player lineup of the Trail Blazers.

He had searched the general information online before. Trail Blazers have already made some transactions this summer, so Yao Ming did not read them all.

Now he has this part in his hands, which is the most accurate list of Trail Blazers players:

First of all, the No. 1 position is "Flying Mouse" Damon Stoudemire, and the "Van Madman" Van Cialiser in the substitute position. In addition, the Trail Blazers also selected Sebastian Terfer with the No. 15 pick in the first round of this year. Yao Ming is a bit unfamiliar with this name. It is probably a water sign. In this case, the No. 1 position must be guaranteed!

After all, "Little Flying Squirrel" and "Fan Crazy" are not young anymore, so their condition will decline. In Yao Ming's view, the Trail Blazers management also has the same idea, otherwise they would not have used the first round pick to choose another point guard.

Unfortunately, Yao Ming has no impression of this name, which means that this guy is not a powerful character. If the Trail Blazers fail to get the insurance, he has to get it by himself!

This is a problem...

He continued to look down. The second position was a familiar name from Derek Anderson. This guy has been a teammate for Yao Ming for a year, so Yao Ming has a very impression of him. He just doesn't know if his shoulder was accidentally injured by his teammates at this time. If he was not injured by his accident, Yao Ming could also see a guy who could be called a helper. If he had already had a shoulder strain, then... he could also be considered a substitute player who could be used!

He subconsciously opened Derek Anderson's data last season, and when he saw that this guy had 82 appearances, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I remember that Derek Anderson had a serious shoulder injury that time, but he didn't get well after that, and the Trail Blazers gave up the trade to the Rockets!

Since he has attended 82 games last season, he probably hasn't been injured yet!

That's great!

Finally, there is a young helper who has just entered his peak period!

There is also a person named Rich Flam on the shooting guard. Yao Ming passes directly. Like the newcomer in the No. 1 position before, he is another name that Yao Ming is unfamiliar.

However, Yao Ming was already very satisfied to see Derek Anderson's name!

He suddenly realized that this gradually turned into a prize-touching game.

Keep looking down, the small forward position is the first, and the name Yao Ming is quite familiar, Ruben Patterson, well... Just talking about this guy's career, I can only say that he is ordinary, he is a qualified starter, and has certain defensive ability, but Yao Ming is deeply impressed by him, entirely because this guy calls himself the "Bryant Terminator"!

And it was said after a game that gave Kobe 41 points!

His reason is: "Bryant scored more than 45 points in the previous games, but he only scored 41 points in this game! It can be seen that I have brought him huge trouble!"

Well, I can only say that this guy has a strong ability to entertain himself!

Of course, the reason why this guy targeted Kobe like this is because he had conflicts with Kobe when he was on the same team before, and he didn't let it go until he left.

Hiss, this guy isn't the main force in the third position?

It's not easy to deal with!

Although this is a pretty good starter, even though the number one and number two are not outstanding, the number three also allowed Yao Ming to see the guy's name. Even though Yao Ming had already made sufficient mental preparations, he was a little discouraged.

"Um?"

But just as Yao Ming frowned and flicked the information of the next player, he was stunned for a moment.

His "Yes" made Steve Patterson and Chicks look up at him. Steve Patterson became obviously nervous: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

All are problems!

"Trevo...Ariza?"
