As basketball fans across the United States focused on the annual NCAA Finals, officials from the Chinese Basketball Association also paid a visit to Zhou's home in Los Angeles.

They found Zhou Zheng through CCTV reporters, and they had no objection to the conditions Zhou Zheng proposed.

"Xiao Zhou, we are just here this time to express the Chinese Basketball Association's concern for you, and we are proud of players like you who are not from the system but still rely on their talent and hard work to make a name for themselves abroad." As soon as the leaders of the Basketball Association came over, they made their attitudes clear.

"As for the conditions you asked Reporter Zheng to bring, we accept them all. When I heard about your 'conditions', I was very sad in my heart, and our media workers had deviated from the reporting of many things. We're not just going to take food out of the athletes. ”

"But you also have to understand the sports system of our national system. It's not easy for us to produce a good athlete, and a lot of people are quietly helping behind the scenes. So, when we develop a player, it's actually very reasonable for us to take a part of the commission according to the contract we have signed in advance. We want to use this money to train more outstanding talents. ”

"How can we charge money from a player like you, who doesn't have a sports bureau at all, and who hasn't been trained since childhood in the system? Aren't we bandits and bandits? ”

Zhou Zheng felt that the basketball association official was very open-minded, and he could understand this statement. It's like in the United States, where professional players tend to support their teams, which is very commercial.

"On the question of the game, we still hope that you can be more involved in the joint training of the national team. As a point guard, it's important to know your teammates. ”

"We are here to invite you to participate in this year's Asian Championships. Our goal for this Asian Championship is to win the championship and we watched your game and thought you would be a big booster for us. ”

Officials from the Basketball Association put their posture very low.

"Fighting for my country has always been my dream. If conditions permit, I will return to China as soon as possible to train with the team. But you also have to understand that I'm in the draft this year, in case the team that drafted me needs me to play in the summer league...... It's something I can't predict and can't control at the moment. Zhou Zheng said very sincerely and frankly.

"I can understand that." The basketball association official nodded.

Zhou Zheng invited the two officials from afar and CCTV reporters to have a meal in the Chinese restaurant, and when they were leaving, the official of the Basketball Association said to Zhou Zheng: "Well, by the way, Xiao Zhou." Hello uncle, I used to work under Director Zhou. ”

"Forehead ......"

Director Li said very modestly, but Zhou Zheng didn't know how to answer for a while. After going around and around, I finally returned to my family.

This embarrassed him, and he hid and brought the topic over.

Then wave goodbye.

After the two officials left, reporter Zheng couldn't help but joke about Zhou Zheng: "There are people in the court who are good officials." ”

The two know each other better because of the last interview, and they can make this kind of innocuous joke.

"They're going to Miami." Reporter Zheng continued: "They are still doing general ideological work, hoping to return to China and play for the national team. ”

"Everyone has their own demands, and it's not easy." Zhou Zheng sighed, he had just listened to a lot of heartfelt words from these basketball association officials at the table, and it was actually difficult to see some things from their point of view.

"Let's hope they can come to an understanding this time! For us fans, these bullshit things are not important, the important thing is that the national team can win and bring honor and pride to the fans and the country. We can't let our Chinese team lose in Asia, what a shame. Reporter Zheng sighed.

In the afternoon, Zhou Zheng returned to the training hall at Stanford, and under the control of the Adidas team, he continued to train actively and completed various training plans.

Training week is a joy for these trainers because they can see the progress of their training intuitively without having to wait for some time...... This feedback is immediate.

While Zhou was actively training, the University of North Carolina players had already arrived in Los Angeles, and they arrived here two days early in order to better adapt to the weather in Los Angeles and the venue of Staples Arena.

They have to make sure everything is safe because the championship is the supreme glory for any team.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Raymond Felton did not put away his big mouth.

"The tiger may have completed a lucky sneak attack when the lions were unprepared, but when the lions were vigilant, the tiger had no chance. What's more, this tiger in Stanford is still... A cub that hasn't even had its baby teeth replaced. Raymond Felton put his pride on his face.

Zhou Zheng still did not respond as usual. Although after this, Raymond Felton also said a lot of more contemptuous words.

The Finals has also attracted the interest of many NBA general managers, in addition to the general managers of the two Los Angeles teams, the general managers of the Bucks, Hawks, Hornets, Knicks, Trail Blazers and Jazz teams that have locked up lottery draft picks have also confirmed the trip to Los Angeles.

Unlike previous NCAA Finals, this year's Finals featured at least five lottery-caliber players, and even eight players with first-round strength.

It's a very rare occurrence that so many general managers have gathered in Los Angeles.

The game will be broadcast live from T-NT across the United States, and it's worth mentioning that instead of using their usual NCAA commentary team to cover the game, T-NT used their NBA ace commentator to broadcast the game live.

This shows how seriously they take this game.

T-NT's explanation for this is: "Most of the starters on both sides will be in the NBA anyway, so why don't we take this game up a notch?" ”
