Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 359 Going to America

Chapter 359 Going to America

In Yuanshikong, in order to let Yao Ming enter the NBA, the NBA officials and the Rockets did spend a lot of thought.

At that time, their idea was also very simple, that is to open up the Chinese market and seek more benefits.

But now, with Wang Hao entering the NBA earlier, how could such a thing happen?

Indeed, they very much hope that Yao Ming can enter the NBA, but if they want to pay the price, there is no way.

Wang Hao is also very helpless and can only return to China as soon as possible.

He explained his situation in the NBA thoroughly with the country. Anyway, in one sentence, why should other capitalists benefit you?

Only when they fully understand this matter and understand that there is no profit to be made, will the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team be willing to release him.

Capitalists are not here to do good deeds.

Hearing such a conclusion, the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team were also very helpless, and even a little unwilling.

It's just that they finally recognized the reality and reluctantly agreed to retreat.

Of course, it is definitely not good to always be soft, and you have to be hard.

Wang Hao also said bluntly that this year's World Championships will be held in the United States, and the national team will also have to go to the United States at that time.

As the No. [-] pick this year, Yao Ming will definitely attract a lot of attention and even interviews from foreign media.

Coupled with Wang Hao's reasons, the attention of the Chinese national team must be second only to the US team.

Wang Hao asked the Basketball Association, if the foreign media asked about Yao Ming, how would they answer?

At that time, it will be said that if the NBA does not give money, the Chinese national team and club will not let people go?

You know, this can affect the image of the country. When the Basketball Association heard about it, it instantly became nervous.

In this era, when public opinion is still controlled by foreign countries, the country is still very concerned about the evaluation of foreign media.

Especially when it comes to representing the country's image, we Chinese people can't wait to be perfect.

Once the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team do not let Yao Ming leave, the foreign media will inevitably think that he wants money and restricts Yao Ming's freedom.

Wang Hao also said very bluntly, if someone asks at that time, he must tell the truth, don't try to make him lie.

Until this time, the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team really compromised.

They also understand that the NBA cannot pay too much for a player.

Ever since, they shifted their target to Yao Ming.

Well, even Yao Ming couldn't refuse this matter. In other words, he is a player trained by the Shanghai Team and the Basketball Association.

Between the Basketball Association, the Shanghai team, and Yao Ming, an agreement was finally signed.

That is, the Basketball Association and the Shanghai team can share the principle part of Yao Ming's salary in the NBA.

In the original time and space, about 15% of the Internet broke the news, and only the parties involved knew the specifics.

It took several days to settle this matter, and Wang Hao's rest time was wasted like this again.

You can notify Mosaic to come and sign the contract, but Wang Hao didn't get involved in this matter.

Yao Ming has his own agent, especially after being selected by the NBA, he also established the Yao team.

However, Wang Hao still suggested that he find a foreign agent, after all, he knows the NBA better.

"Thank you this time, Lao Wang!"

Hearing this, Wang Hao quickly said, "Thank you, no problem, but can you stop calling me Old Wang?"

Wang Hao just stayed in the national team for a month, and everyone was not very familiar with him at that time.

They also call each other by their full names, which is somewhat unfamiliar, but they are more familiar now.

Yao Ming also laughed, and said, "If you don't call me Lao Wang, why don't you call me Hao Zi?"

Wang Hao was even more speechless: "Forget it, let's call him Old Wang!"

The old Wang next door is the old Wang next door, anyway, he is not the one who suffers, so what are you afraid of!

Wang Hao is currently resting, and he has no plans to return to the national team in advance.

However, his private training team has already entered the national team.

That's right, after some discussions, the national team agreed to join Wang Hao's training team.

You don't need to spend your own money, and you can also experience a higher level of training. Naturally, the national team will not refuse.

Wang Hao went home first. He hadn't seen his parents for more than half a year, so he naturally wanted a family reunion.

My father is okay, but my mother is very helpless.

Those two who had just returned home wished they could make delicious food for him every day, and they were just asking him how he was.

Especially in the NBA, the confrontation is very fierce, there are many collisions in the game, and Wang Hao often lies on the ground.

A few times, there were some minor bumps and injuries.

When watching the game, my mother was extremely worried, and now that I have met, I naturally have to give a good warning.

Don't play too hard, pay attention to your body, don't get hurt...

Three or four days later, looking at the lazy Wang Hao, Liu Mei immediately had various thoughts.

Why wake up without making the quilt, and not sleep at night...

Sure enough, mothers all over the world are the same. They miss all kinds of things when they don’t go home, and immediately dislike them after a few days after returning home.

Dad, Wang Jianguo, is fine. Whenever he has time, he takes Wang Hao to talk about NBA affairs, especially the finals.

After staying at home for another 10 days, Wang Hao went to the capital to report to the national team.

After a few days of running-in training, the national team is ready for the training match.

Seeing Wang Hao again, all the teammates from the national team came to congratulate him, after all, he won the NBA championship.

In their view, this is something that is beyond reach, and there are actually some Chinese people who have succeeded.

Entering the national team for the second time, Wang Hao became acquainted with everyone and greeted each other.

However, the current national team is still in the training period, and there are a lot of people, there are still about 20 people.

In the end, there were only 12 players on the squad for the World Championships.

The arrival of Bruce Fraser and others has indeed changed the training of the national team and become more scientific.

Of course, he also told Frazer and others not to blindly increase confrontation.

After all, the World Championships are about to start, and practicing confrontation at this time, isn't this something wrong with the brain?

Facts have proved that Huaxia people are still more suitable for practicing skills.

Twenty years later, with the improvement of the physical fitness of the Chinese people, a group of players who can run and jump has indeed emerged.

But what was the result?

The performance of the national team is even worse. Let alone entering the world, even in Asia, the dominance is lacking.

There are many reasons, but it is an indisputable fact that the technical ability of the new generation of players has declined.

This is not surprising.

After all, physical fitness can be expressed with real data through physical tests.

But how to express technical ability?

Can you see it?

Or in a fight between two people, the winner is the one with good skills, and the loser is the one with poor skills?

Once it appears that the human senses are the mainstay, there will be a lot of tricks.

For example, what kind of men's basketball talent pool is this?Do you have to pick people from inside?

Well, the topic is far away, the current situation of the national team is very good, and the atmosphere is very good.

For more than a month, Wang Hao didn't really lie down.

Except after the finals, he had a complete rest for a few days, and then resumed simple training.

Now that he is back in training, there is nothing wrong with him.

However, the state must be re-discovered.

In particular, you have to adapt to the rules as soon as possible. After all, there are still differences in the rules between the NBA and international basketball.

A few days later, Wang Zhizhi returned.

With Wang Zhizhi coming back together, there is another news, that is, he has re-signed with the Supersonics.

That's right, because of his good performance in the summer league, Wang Zhizhi got another contract.

Outsiders don't know that, after learning that Wang Zhizhi has signed with the Supersonics, the eyes of the teammates of the national team will light up when they look at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao had no choice but to explain: "I just recommended Dazhi to play in the summer split. As for the contract, he won it himself."

Today, Huaxia already has 4 players in the NBA, and Chinese people also know something about the situation in the NBA.

As for the players of the national team, they are even closer, they know better.

Leaving aside Wang Hao's contract, Yao Ming's contract was worth a few hundred dollars, which shocked countless jaws.

Not to mention, with Wang Zhizhi's signing with the Supersonics, he also has a salary of 2 million for two years.

This envied all the teammates of the national team.

Yao Ming is already a top player in China, but he has been in the Shanghai team for five years, which means he got about 200 million.

For other people, the salary will only be lower.

Leaving aside any dreams, just the salary of the NBA is also a huge attraction for today's Chinese players.

Why did the attractiveness of the NBA drop?

Playing in the NBA is not as profitable as playing in the CBA, and I am still an uncle in the CBA. Is this an NBA that still plays wool?

Old players like Liu Yuzhu and Hu Weidong don't really care much about it.

At this age, it is impossible to go to the NBA again.

On the contrary, a few young people, such as Liu Wei of the Shanghai team, and Zhu Fangyu of the Guangdong Hongyuan team.

"Look at what you said, Brother Wang, as long as there is a chance."

In today's national team, Wang Hao is actually considered young, that is, newcomers such as Zhu Fangyu are older than him.

Wang Hao had no choice but to say: "It's definitely okay to participate in the summer league, but I can't do anything about whether I can stay or not."

That being said, Wang Zhizhi still expressed his gratitude to him.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you, Old Wang!"

Wang Hao is a little speechless, you are the old king, okay!

"You don't have to thank me, the United States, that's a capitalist country, and the owner of the NBA is also a capitalist.

You want them to spend $200 million for no reason, that's almost impossible. "

Well, Wang Hao is right.

If it is only because of him, the Sonics will offer an annual salary of hundreds of thousands at most, and it will not exceed 100 million at most.

Wang Zhizhi was able to get a two-year contract of 2 million yuan, which shows that he is not dispensable.

The Sonics really want to keep Wang Zhizhi, and they also have expectations for him in the team.

Not only that, but Wang Zhizhi was clearly robbed.

If no one raised the price, maybe he wouldn't need a one-year $200 million contract.

Even though he said so, Wang Zhizhi was still full of gratitude.

After all, the Sonics are not an ordinary team. They just won the championship, and some of them are willing to cut their salaries to join.

That is to say, the Supersonics will not let go, otherwise, there are definitely not a few veteran players who are willing to join the Supersonics.

It's a pity that there is still a huge gap between the Supersonic's playing style and the veteran players.

Famous, not necessarily suitable!

July passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye, and the national team was ready to leave for the United States.

That's right, the next warm-up match will be held in the United States, mainly for training against the opponents of the World Championships.

By the way, let me also say that the Huaxia team is not too lucky in the grouping of this world championship.

In this World Championships, there are 16 teams in total, and the group stage is divided into four groups, with 4 teams in each group.

The Huaxia team was divided into Group C. The opponents in the same group were the United States, Germany, Huaxia and Algeria.

To be honest, this group is good and bad for the Huaxia team.

The good news is that there is an Algeria group at the bottom, and the Huaxia team can basically guarantee the top three.

That's right, the top three in the group can advance to the top 12.

In other words, if the group stage is not played well, it will not affect the team's advancement too much.

However, it is also very necessary to try to achieve better results.

For the Huaxia team, this is their goal.

In addition to the powerful American team, even the German team is not impossible to touch!

Just before heading to the United States, the final 12-man roster of the Huaxia team was finally released.

Leading by Wang Hao, there are also the three famous mobile Great Walls in the world, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle.

In addition, there are Du Feng, Liu Wei, Liu Yudong, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, and Guo Shiqiang.

It can be said that this time the Huaxia team is a combination of old and new, and the old players will lead the newcomers to play.

Maybe next time, some old people will completely withdraw from the national team.

In August, Wang Hao returned to the United States again.

The Huaxia team didn't delay, and the last few warm-up matches were prepared early in the morning.

The Canadian team, the French team, and the Angola team from Africa are the last three opponents in the warm-up match.

These three warm-up matches are also very particular.

It was aimed at the three opponents that the Huaxia team faced in the group stage, and it was considered to be familiar with their styles in advance.

When facing Canada, it was very interesting. I met Nash who represented Canada.

It's just that, just after the warm-up match, Nash announced his withdrawal from the Canadian national team and would no longer play in the World Championships.

As for the reason, Nash said that he had an injury. In order to avoid affecting the NBA, he gave up the World Championships.

No way, Nash's position in the Mavericks is still stable, but there will still be surprises.

Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, doesn't like him very much.

There is no way, those who have resources have the right to speak, and Cuban is such a double-standard person.

Nowitzki is also very soft, he doesn't think there is a problem

Nash's withdrawal from the Canadian national team actually did not attract much attention from the outside world.

After all, this is just the Canadian team, and it's not a championship-level team, so don't worry about it.

However, this incident has caused a lot of commotion within the Huaxia national team, or everyone is very puzzled.

In this national team game, can you play if you want to play, and you can quit if you don't want to play?

It can only be said that the practice of Europeans and Americans is far from the perception of Chinese people.

Especially when Wang Zhizhi's incident happened not long ago, it is naturally more shocking when compared with it.
