Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 310 Yao Ming vents his bitterness

The headlines came one after another and spread to all major categories. The key netizens were not disgusted and were happy to see the results, and even discussed them intensely.

This makes many celebrities in the entertainment industry who like to promote themselves envious and jealous.

If it were their crazy marketing, they would probably be scolded by netizens for only doing hype.

Comparing people with each other is so infuriating!

Look at Chen Ran, he is not the kind of hunk with extraordinary talents. In addition, today's entertainment industry is so complicated, and the money is so little. If I had known, I would also play tennis, with endless bonuses and high-end endorsements.

As for whether it can be successful? Chen Ran can succeed, why can't they!

In addition, when the name Houston entered the attention of Chinese sports fans, everyone's enthusiasm was suddenly ignited!

It is now Yao Ming's second season in the NBA, and judging from the record, the Houston Rockets have made great progress compared to last season.

Yao Ming is also very likely to realize his dream of making the playoffs this season.

For many Chinese sports fans, the team they pay most attention to is the Rockets, and the individual athlete they pay most attention to is Chen Ran.

Now, these two top players in Chinese sports appear in Houston at the same time.

As soon as Chen Ran walked out of the airport, he was surrounded by a swarm of American reporters.

As the new US Open champion, he broke the record of annual Masters titles created by Sampras, making Chen Ran's popularity in the United States steadily rising.

"Chen Ran, as the number one at the end of the year at the age of seventeen, how do you feel?"

"Chen Ran, it is said that you want to represent Blizzard's games?"

"Chen Ran, your competitors have been arriving in Houston for a while. Are you trying to be a big star by coming so late?"

Chen Ran wore a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses and said nothing during the whole process.

Under the protection of some security personnel, he lowered his head and walked straight forward.

Don’t you Americans think I’m acting like a big star? Then I'll show you the trick.

During this journey, Chen Ran didn't utter a single word from his mouth, and then he got into the pick-up car without looking back and drove away.

Vaguely, he heard a steady stream of curses beginning with "F" coming from not far behind him.

It is indeed a state of Texas with simple folk customs!

As soon as he got in the car, Chen Ran received a call.

It was none other than Yao Ming, another top sports player in Houston.

He actually took the initiative to treat Chen Ran to dinner and invited him to his home.

As for the place to eat, there is no doubt that the business of "Yao Restaurant" is quite popular nowadays.

Invite Chen Ran to eat there, and you can also promote "Yao Restaurant" by the way. Why not do it.

"Brother Chen Ran, I have only been away from China for a few months, and you have already made so much big news." Yao Ming's unique deep voice came from the other end of the phone, even with a bit of fun in watching the excitement.

You have so much energy, the headlines come one after another.

"Brother Yao, I don't want to either. I'm not looking for the news, the news is looking for me." Chen Ran complained helplessly.

"I asked you to cooperate with me before and you were not willing to start a company. Why do you want to be an agent for online games?"

"The team's suggestions... They made many suggestions for me to start a company and start a business, but I rejected them one by one. Now I really can't resist them, so I reluctantly agreed to this suggestion."

Anyway, the blame goes to the team.

Chen Ran said very seriously, "But it's just this time, it won't happen next time. As you know, agent games have little technical content and are easy for laymen to get started."

"That's true. But there are so many games in South Korea that can be represented. The agency fee for "World of Warcraft" is too high. This risk..."

This point indeed shows Yao Ming's caution and prudence as a native of Shanghai.

But to be honest, if Chen Ran hadn't opened up God's perspective, he would never have taken such a risk.

Yao Ming's emotional intelligence is still very high, and he quickly added: "Of course I personally like this game very much, and I will definitely play it in the future."

Will I go and play?

Chen Ran couldn't help but ask himself.

He had played it long enough in his previous life and had failed several classes because of it.

So he should get a fully-leveled Hunter, occasionally go online when he is bored, and then drive the "humanoid tracking" to wander around Stranglethorn Valley and say hello to those leveling alts.

Chen Ran's idea is so simple and pure.

As for checking in and signing in every day to participate in the dungeon reclamation activities like going to work? Forget it, I can't roll anymore.

"By the way..." Yao Ming paused, but still couldn't hold back his burning heart of gossip, and asked cautiously, "What's going on between you and that French woman? It's really like what the outside world said. ?"

"..." Chen Ran was silent for a moment.

How come you, Dayao, are gossiping so much with those paparazzi?

However, Yao Ming is only 23 years old now, and compared to other people, he is still in college, so it is normal for him to gossip.

What's more, Lu Xun once said: Human gossip does not distinguish between age, gender, and age.

Seeing Chen Ran's silence, Yao Ming thought it was true: "Brother, listen to me. French women are not good. They may change their minds one day. Plus, their lifestyle is more open. You know what I mean."

Do you really think I will take you home as your wife?

What's more, someone who cares about his kidneys but not his heart would care about this?

Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refute the other party.

"Brother Yao is right, I will definitely pay attention to it. My principle is that at most I will be cheated out of my body by the other party, but I will never be cheated out of my money." "..." Yao Ming suddenly felt that he and the other party were not on the same channel.

But obviously I come from a big city like Shanghai, and Chen Ran comes from a third-tier town like Dongzhou, but why does he think he is so traditional, while the other person is the complete opposite?

Chen Ran began to turn around: "Brother Yao, you are already famous, so you don't want to replace yourself with an international supermodel or something like that. At least you need a women's basketball beauty like Lauren Jackson!"

"At least it has to match your status as an NBA superstar!"

"Don't you know that I have a girlfriend? She was from the Shanghai Women's Basketball Team, and I have been chasing her for several years." Yao Ming said seriously, "I am a traditional and loyal man. Unless she doesn't want to marry me, don't give me any blind ideas."

He was also obviously a little angry.

He is a deeply affectionate man, and he firmly believes in it.

Chen Ran also deliberately tested it, and understood the other party's attitude, and then sighed secretly.

Sure enough, Dayao is also a licker.

I can't even understand women.

This level is far different from the Li Yapeng I met before.

Many fans in later generations sneered at Ye Li and persuaded Yao Ming to dump her.

When you played in the CBA, people ignored you, but when you played in the NBA, they looked at you seriously. But in fact, they still firmly believe that agreeing to you is because you are convinced and you are trying too hard.

In fact, my appearance is ordinary and there is nothing extraordinary about me.

Even among female athletes, there are many who are prettier than her.

In this way, you are still obsessed with it and will not change your infatuation.

Your fans are anxious for you.

Fortunately, fans are not like those celebrity fans in the entertainment industry who like to interfere in other people's emotional lives. They will even try to make various threats. At most, they will just talk about it.

But a person must not hang himself from a tree.

Sometimes I look back and look at the people and things around me.

It’s not like you don’t have a choice!

Look at the women's volleyball team, isn't it great? Even the leaders of the Sports Bureau are trying to match you up.

The leaders are all used to eating pork and are well-informed, so their vision is sure to be correct.

Of course, the leaders wanted to introduce female athletes to Chen Ran, but he declined them all.

The reason is very simple. Most female athletes in this era are quite innocent and don't have much emotional experience. They are definitely suitable for honest people, so you'd better not go to Huo Huo's family.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Chen Ran shrugged.

"Besides playing games recently, do you have to work hard?" Yao Ming continued to ask curiously.

It's the end of the year, and the tennis season is basically over.

But then I thought about it, Chen Ran was basically very leisurely after the US Open.

He played two games in two months, which is why he was able to organize so many off-field activities.

Singles, scandals, various activities, and agency games.

"Hehe, let's see. It seems that netizens like my ability to live a healthy life. They are not as harsh on me as they are on entertainment stars." Chen Ran said very frankly.

"You are already number one in the world, so what else can others say?"

Yao Ming felt that if these things happened to him, he might not be able to concentrate on playing the game.

When he was playing in the CBA, he could paddle comfortably and even take a nap when he stood in the three-second zone under the basket.

But after arriving in the NBA, as long as he is on the court, he must maintain a 12-point concentration at all times.

This is a vastly different competitive environment, and it also made him realize that there is a light-year gap between Chinese basketball and American basketball.

Then he thought of those European players who were playing in the NBA and had already achieved some success.

These guys often say seriously that there are many players at the same level as themselves in their country, and those people are also capable of playing in the NBA.

In fact, on the Chinese side, there is another player named Wang Zhizhi who is also in the rotation, but he is currently blocked.

Ouch! When Yao Ming thinks about next year's Athens Olympics, he feels pain in his head.

I really envy Chen Ran, he can come and go freely in individual sports, he is free and comfortable, and he doesn't have to be burdened by pig teammates.

When Chen Ran arrived at Yao Restaurant, Yao Ming began to vomit bitterness towards Chen Ran.

It turns out that what he is most worried about right now is not whether the Houston Rockets can enter the playoffs, but the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in next year's Athens Olympics.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Zhizhi is unlikely to return, and Yi Jianlian is still too immature.

Yao Ming has few helpers.

What is the level of the players on the national team? I can only hang out in the Asian arena, and the Olympic stage is simply not enough to watch.

"You know? I promised not to make it to the quarterfinals of the Olympics and not to shave for a year!"
