Chapter 860: Chapter 535: The Door That Opened but Was Not Fully Opened

Afterward, Yu Fei and Yao Ming inevitably talked about post-lockout matters.

Yao Ming's contract with the Houston Rockets had ended this summer, and he was set to become an unrestricted free agent.

"The lockout is a good thing," Yao Ming said, "It gives me time to seriously consider my future."

Yu Fei teased him, "I thought you were the type of person who'd like to finish your career with one team."

"The 22-year-old me did think that way," Yao Ming said, "Back then, I earned 500,000 (RMB) a year in the CBA, and 4 million (US Dollars) a year in the United States. Of course, I hoped to stay here until I retired. After all, the NBA has high standards, and I'd make the same money anywhere."

Since Yu Fei had almost witnessed the entire process of Yao Ming's NBA journey before and after his transmigration, he understood the younger Yao Ming very well.
