The Chinese sports reporters were so excited that they felt like they were Mobai.
"Mr. West, are the Clippers interested in Mobai?”
This was a question from Duan Ran of the NBA at the Goose Factory. This question was on point.
West smiled and said,""You need to ask the team's general manager and manager about the selection of players.”
Everyone knows that you have the final say in the Clippers. The Chinese sports reporters present all smiled without saying a word.
West added," I can't say my opinion to the media because the league forbids it. I don't want to be fined by the league.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters all laughed.
According to NBA rules, before the draft, teams were not allowed to contact or even publicly comment on the draft players in any form. According to the latest terms, contact with the players 'families, agents, and even friends in advance was included in the scope of the violation.
Then, was West violating NBA rules by commenting that Mobai resembled Curry?
The answer was yes.
However, the NBA could not find any evidence of West's comments about the rookie.
Because West requested the Chinese media not to report any news about his comments on Mobai.
Of course, the domestic media didn't want West to be fined. West being fined was equivalent to indirectly harming Mobai. The domestic media didn't want to become a sinner!
Fortunately, the domestic media knew how to do things. In addition, the Chinese language was extensive and profound, and they used a certain name to replace West. This way, they could report the results of Mobai's trial training to the domestic fans without anyone knowing.
When Wang Shipeng and Mobai returned to the apartment, Wang Shipeng immediately made an overseas call to report Mobai's trial results to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming immediately fell silent.
After a long time, Yao Ming's voice sounded on the phone.
"Dapeng, find a training place for Mobai nearby and get him a membership. I'll talk to Mr. West and see if Mobai can train at the Clippers 'training center. This way, Mobai would have plenty of time to train. "In addition, I'll arrange for a nutritionist and a trainer for Mobai. Because they're from the Rockets, I can only ask them to give Mobai some pointers.”
"President Yao, this is enough for Mobai.”Wang Shipeng said.
"Thank you, President Yao." Mobai said gratefully.
That day, Mobai registered an " email " and gave his account number to Yao Ming. That night, he received two text messages.
One was a nutritionist's recipe, and the other was a trainer's training content.
Following the recipe, he went to the nearby supermarket to buy food and stored it in the refrigerator.
The next day, he went out with Wang Shipeng and found a training center nearby. He also got a membership card.
Living in the city center was convenient.
The only thing that made Mobai feel bad was that there were many homeless people in the city center.
"Mobai, don't walk on the streets where the homeless gather at night. It's easy to get robbed.”Wang Shipeng reminded.
"I know, I know." Mobai was a person with a high sense of crisis. His mother's words lingered in his ears. He should try to choose a crowded street. When he went to the supermarket to buy food last night, he should go wherever there were more people.
Back at the apartment, Yao Ming called.
" I've already communicated with Mr. West yesterday. He said that you are allowed to train at the Clippers 'training center, but there is a time limit. You can only go on Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday.”
When Mobai heard the good news, he shouted excitedly. Wang Shipeng, who was beside him, was also extremely excited. He clenched his fists and felt more excited than winning the CBA championship.
"Mobai, your future is not a dream.”
"Thank you, Brother Peng!"
The two of them high-fived to celebrate and even laughed. Yao Ming, who was on the other end of the phone, felt cold.
However, there was good news and bad news.
"I don't know who leaked the news, but I talked to West frequently and attracted the attention of the Alliance. This morning, I received a call from the Alliance spokesperson, asking me not to contact Mr. West. He also said that he had warned Mr. West. So, before the talent show, West and I can't talk too much about you.”
When Mobai and Wang Shipeng heard this, they looked at each other in dismay and suddenly became gloomy.
Yao Ming was a basketball association chairman who cared a lot about young players. He must have been prepared.
"Mobai, your trial results are too bad. We have to be mentally prepared for the Clippers to change.”
Mobai and Wang Shipeng looked at each other when they heard this. They felt that there were strange things going on.
"President Yao, I don't quite understand," Mobai asked.”
Yao Ming said," Mr. West has just become a consultant for the Clippers. Although he has substantial power, there are still things that the management can't deal with. Simply put, it was a power struggle. Among them, the conflict between Mr. West and Coach Rivers was particularly sharp. It was said that Rivers was going to be the host during the last trial, but Mr. West had the support of his boss, Balmer, and became the host for this trial. Your name isn't on Rivers 'trial list. For you, Mr. West had a head-on clash with Rivers for the first time.”
Mobai and Wang Shipeng's hearts jumped. They didn't expect an ordinary trial to be mixed with such a cruel power struggle.
Yao Ming continued,""Rivers has a dual identity, the head of the Clippers 'basketball operations department and the head coach of the Clippers. Rivers had to examine and approve any player the team picked. Last time, Mr. West went over Rivers to confirm the trial list. On the day of the draft, the conflict between West and Rivers would erupt, and they would go to war over who to choose. So, you have to leave yourself a few more paths and not just think about the Clippers.”
The implication was that he was always waiting for any team to invite him for a trial. The problem was that the Clippers were the only ones in the NBA who had sent him an invitation to try out.
"I understand." Mobai didn't want to become a victim of a power struggle. Controlling his own fate was the way of the king. "Then what should I do?"
Fortunately, Yao Ming knew the NBA.
"You have to strictly follow the requirements of the nutritionist and the trainer. Train hard and move forward with heavy weights. You must perform your best in the NBA joint trial and attract more teams 'attention. This way, your path to the draft will be more secure.”
"Understood!" Mobai replied loudly. His tone was firm. For the sake of his dream, he was going all out!
"Good luck!" Wang Shipeng, who was next to him, added, giving his support to this little brother.
Hence, Mobai's life in America was either in the training center or the Clippers 'training center.
He was strict with himself and trained hard. Every day, he would be the first to go and the last to leave.
