Chapter 792: The anxious Maddie thanked the leaves)
"Oh, okay, it's not an embarrassing thing, why are you worried about..."
Andy walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, her hair was a little wet, and she comforted Ivana, who was sitting in front of the dressing table while rubbing a towel.
"It's already noon!" Ivana's pretty face glared at Andy who was dismissive with a little shame and anger.
"Or why we go out for lunch, I think this might make you feel better." Andy walked behind her, landed his hands on her shoulders, and smiled at the red Hun pouting in the mirror.
Ivana's beautiful eyes lit up. Just as she was about to agree, Andy's cell phone rang, walked over, and answered the phone. Andy nodded a few times and hung up.
"Okay, my mom and dad had a date at noon and didn't come back to have a meal. Let's settle the lunch ourselves..." Andy stood there, spreading his hands with a relaxed expression on his face.
"Huh~" Ivana breathed a sigh of relief in secret, finally no need to worry about the possible embarrassment.
However, she decided not to stay in Andy's parents' house tonight, which made her very uncomfortable. Well, Andy also understood this very well, and he felt a little inconvenient. The key was that there was a feeling of a private space being confined to a bedroom.
Since I felt unhappy, I chose a lifestyle that would make me comfortable. Andy didn't have so many concerns, but Ivana misunderstood that Andy did this to take care of her. She whispered something beautifully in Andy's ear, which made Andy's eyes glow green.
After lunch, I returned to the restaurant of P Hotel and got to his home court. Ivana also regained her freedom and agility. Her bright pretty face was filled with sweetness and happiness, with a logo-shaped smile, holding her boyfriend's arm tightly, and every frown and smile showed infinite charm.
In the afternoon, the continuous rainy days finally stopped. As a region like Washington, where there is little rain in November, it is very rare to rain for several consecutive days. Andy doesn't like drizzling rainy days, which can make people feel uncomfortable. Of course, it's a very good bedtime.
When grandpa and grandma walked out of the business passage, they saw Andy and the beautiful and elegant Ivana. After hugging and greeting, they walked out of the airport hall together. Grandpa Li Dakang didn't care about the follow-up photos of the airport reporter. He knew the popularity of his grandson, so he was not rejected.
Along the way, my grandfather praised the Houston Rockets' opening record, especially in the introduction of personnel. With Changlu's needle threading, the Rockets' offense became more and more convenient and beautiful.
However, he has complained about the recent practice of McGrady, the leader of the Rockets, who is the leader of the Rockets, who is desperately trying to take credit for him, and this is also the opinion of most Rockets fans.
The record of a complete victory in one season was a good start, but everyone knows why. It was because the new boss was willing to spend money and built the Rockets into a very competitive team. The strengthening lineup gave Yao Yao enough rest time and no need to be forced to play on the court and play 4 minutes.
What McGrady is doing now is to erase other people's efforts, boast about his contributions, and even exaggerate his role. This is really unwise. It is very likely to cause problems and cause conflicts among the team members.
Andy naturally read these reports, but she smiled every time and ignored it. He knew very well that McGrady was anxious. He felt that his boss's position was unstable. Changlu's arrival controlled a lot of ball rights, and even often controlled the rhythm of the game, allocating ball rights on the court, looking like a boss.
As for Da Ben, he was originally from Changlu, so he naturally supported Changlu. Especially after understanding the team for a while, he observed some problems and found that McGrady would not be the boss at all, let alone control the locker room. Well, the Rockets' locker room now belongs to Old Nelson.
The big man in the Celestial Dynasty is an absolutely good guy, with a modest and good temper, and is not interested in the position of the team leader at all. He never seems to mind who the boss is. As long as his position as the second in command is not threatened, he will be able to do so.
Maddy, who is stingy, and knows how to be a human, is a bad opponent of the boys' army, Changlu, and soon the main players of the team were pulled away by Changlu. This made Maddy a little anxious.
But he dared not openly the conflicts in the locker room because he was not an idiot. He knew that as long as he dared to make trouble, the young new boss with a sunny smile would definitely trade him, or even more ruthlessly, press him directly on the bench. Even if the boss didn't do that, the Rockets coach, Old Nelson, will now press him to death on the bench without mercy.
You know, the Rockets' coaching power is really a bit too high now, and this is mainly due to the upward and downward effect. The team's big boss' favorite sentence is "Leave professional matters to professionals. If you don't understand, it's best not to reach out." In this regard, not to mention that all Americans know this, it is also people who know Andy Smith's story will know his idea of management.
Moreover, since Andy joined the Rockets, the team was divided into three parts, without interfering with each other and collaborating with each other. Administrative operations, player trading and team management each performed their own duties, and implemented them perfectly.
Under such circumstances, McGrady did not dare to blow up the thorns at all. As for Kobe, he wanted to threaten the team like Kobe, he never thought about it, because he knew very well that in the Rockets, only Yao Yao was not a seller, and the large market of 1.3 billion people behind him made him invincible.
The only thing McGrady relies on is his own skills and superstar aura, but NBA is really not indispensable to anyone, especially since he knows how to work on his own, he is not sure whether he has leadership temperament and ability.
As a 1997 draft, Chaunci Billups has experienced a wandering career. He insisted on playing basketball with the title of parallel-made tanhua, experienced a group fight in the Auburn Mountain Palace, led this bad boy army to win the championship, and became the first finals MVP to not be selected for the All-Star since 191.
Damn, this kind of old fry is going to snatch power from McGrady. I'm afraid that McGrady will not be Changlu's opponents even if he tied up two more.
When going out for dinner together, McGrady never spends a penny. How could he treat the Rockets to the Rockets to have a big contract? He would invite the bench players who had no place to sleep at home. He led his younger brother to the party, bought a high-end suit for his new younger brother, and borrowed a sports car to teach the difference...
Seeing that McGrady, who could not stop Chauncey Billups from becoming a leader, began to borrow external forces and use public opinion to highlight his importance to the Rockets, hoping to attract the attention of the Rockets management and new boss.
After Andy learned about these situations before, he held a meeting with the Rockets' core management, asking them to appease McGrady first, and communicate with Changlu privately, and everything would be for the team's record this season. Changlu was a little confused at first, but after returning home, he savored the team's manager's words, and it would not be difficult for him to guess that someone would be left at the end of this season.
The Rockets, who just signed him with a big contract, would never send him away foolishly, so there is no need to say more about the rest.
Changlu obediently retracted his hand, and did his role conscientiously, protecting his younger brothers, not having conflicts with McGrady, and trying his best to be at peace.
McGrady seemed to have tasted the sweetness brought to him by public opinion, and began to brag about his contributions when facing the media after the game. After more times, not only did the team complain, but even the fans couldn't bear it anymore and left messages to accuse him, which also made McGrady slightly restrained recently.
However, what happened during this period also strengthened Andy's idea of selling McGrady for a good price after the end of this season!
