Chapter Twenty-Three: Ambition

After the game, after Wei Zhiming took a shower, he walked out of the locker room and was surprised to find that there was a girl with a soft Asian face waiting for him outside the team.

"Could it be that someone has already begun to fall in love with me and indulge in my charms?" Wei Zhiming thought happily, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, do you have time, I'll do a simple interview." Wei Zhiming glanced at his sister's chest and found that his sister had a press card on his chest.

In an instant, Wei Zhiming's interest was reduced by half, and he still had a smile on his face: "Of course you can, please ask." ”

This is a reporter of a certain wave, because a penguin has a lot of money, he directly bought out the NBA network broadcast rights. Up to five years. Therefore, in addition to putting pictures, a certain wave can only put some NBA-related videos at the moment, which is not a small blow.

So, when Wei Zhiming was signed by the Clippers, others may not care too much, but a certain wave is very positive. If they want to retain users, they can only broadcast more news about Chinese in the NBA than others.

As a result, a certain wave will not let go of the Clippers' preseason game, as long as Wei Zhiming plays, it will be the biggest news.

And at this moment, the girl of a certain wave looked at Wei Zhiming expectantly, and when she saw Wei Zhiming agree, she was also relieved. There is too much pressure on society now, and if she doesn't do anything for a long time, I'm afraid she will soon be transferred back to the United States.

"You're an undrafted pick, but why would Reaves sign you to a contract with first-round salary?" The little girl immediately spoke, she spoke in English, but with the smell of Chinese people.

Wei Zhiming frowned, what's wrong with losing the draft, he wants the best rookie man.

"I don't know about that, you can ask the manager." Wei Zhiming said in fluent Mandarin.

A certain wave's sister's eyes lit up, and then she saw Wei Zhiming frowning, and she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask like this, this is the task." ”

When Wei Zhiming heard this, he nodded expressionlessly, "If you still have questions, please hurry up, I still have something to do." ”

"Okay, okay. Today you played 9 minutes, scored 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 risk and 1 steal, are you very satisfied with yourself? ”

"I'm not satisfied, it's just a pre-season game and the intensity of the pre-season is a big gap from the regular season, so I should be able to get a more beautiful stat. Besides, I'm playing against the Raptors' bench, and if I'm playing against the main team, I'll probably be satisfied with that kind of statistic. Wei Zhiming was full of confidence, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shocked a certain wave of reporters.

A certain wave's sister was also stunned, and then her beautiful eyes lit up, and she secretly said in her heart: "I didn't expect him to be so confident, although he does not have the traditional low-key and modest Chinese, but this is the United States, and such people will be respected in the United States." ”

"So, what's your outlook for your first season?"

"I'm going to win the Rookie of the Year award and show the Yankees that Downs, Russell, Okafor, Porzingis are all inferior to me!" Wei Zhiming said arrogantly, if he can't complete this task and the system leaves, then everything before him will be meaningless. All at this moment, he boasted that Haikou was fearless.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhiming added in his heart: "In the future, I want to become a legendary superstar, a legendary superstar who attracts thousands of people!" ”

"OH, I believe in you, come on, let them know how good our Chinese players are." A certain wave of reporters shouted, but she was not optimistic about Wei Zhiming.

The year 2015 can be said to be after 09, another draft year, Wei Zhiming wants to be the best rookie after losing the draft, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Of course, she wouldn't say cool things at this time, she encouraged Wei Zhiming, and then said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to interview you, my name is Tang Xiao, I hope to see you again." ”

Wei Zhiming nodded, and then left Tang Xiao.

"He looks handsome, and his shooting posture is also beautiful, but I don't know if I can play in the regular season." Tang Xiao looked at Wei Zhiming who was far away and muttered, and then she excitedly began to write today's news.

Leaving the Toronto Raptors, Wei Zhiming did not continue training, they had a night's rest and will return to Los Angeles tomorrow.

Their next two preseason games were against the Hornets, but they were no longer playing in the United States.

Yes, they need to cross the ocean and come to China to fight! Their first match with the Hornets was in Shenzhen, while the second stop was in Shanghai.

This is definitely a game not to be missed for Chinese fans, and Wei Zhiming is also full of excitement, it feels amazing to be able to play in front of his own parents and fellow villagers.

Wei turned down an invitation from Clippers players to visit Toronto in the evening, and he returned to his hotel to watch the game and consolidate the tactics he had learned from Reaves.

On the second day, Wei Zhiming got up early, and the main task was like a sharp sword, standing on his head, so that he didn't dare to be lazy and didn't dare to stop advancing.

After doing the training set for himself, Wei Zhiming dragged his tired body and mixed with the Clippers players, and they took the plane back to bustling Los Angeles.

Reeves noticed Wei Zhiming's performance, he didn't say anything, but he had a higher evaluation of Wei Zhiming in his heart.

On October 6, Reeves gave the players a day off, and he would do some internal training on the 7th before leaving for China on the 8th.

Wei Zhiming got off the plane, he first made up for sleep, and then began to continue training, he looked at Los Angeles and remembered the boss at four o'clock in the morning.

"Kobe Bryant is not the best physically, he can become a superstar, no, he can become a legend because of the winning spirit and hard work. Being able to train for decades is unjustifiable if you don't succeed. Wei Zhiming's eyes flickered, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then considered his training method.

Bryant's training method is the 666 devil training method, and his trainer admits: "Before this, no one has been able to stick to this kind of training." "But he did. In order to make his shooting more accurate, 6 hours a day, 1000+ shooting Kobe Bryant may have been used to these when he lifted the MVP trophy. Only such efforts can make it effortless for him to lift the trophy. Just like behind Kobe's 81 points in a single game, there are 10 years of hard work - maybe for us, this is a miracle; But for Kobe, this is the inevitability of sweat.

"If Kobe Bryant can hold on, so can I. Someone wins a championship in the NBA every year, why can't that person be me? Wei Zhiming made up his mind, without sweat, where would there be flowers?

The system is not everything, only you can rely on yourself.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Wei Zhiming dragged his tired body out of the Clippers' training hall, the Clippers staff were in awe, he had not seen such a desperate teenager for many years, even Paul, not as diligent as Wei Zhiming.

Mid-range shot, three-pointer, strength, waist, explosiveness, speed. Wei Zhiming's heart is very big, and since the main quest was opened, the dream in his heart has grown with the wind.

In O'Neill's autobiography, there is this passage:

From day one, he (Kobe) was so different. I remember the first training session, he was there, and when I walked into the arena, this scrawny kid was recording that garbage-like "AndOne" brand documentary. It's rubbish, it's nothing more than a cross-hand dribble, a crotch dribble, a wrist flip dribble, and all sorts of other streetball moves. Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel were laughing at him, but I noticed that he never stopped training and worked harder than any of us. So I thought, "God, this kid is going to get ahead."

In some ways, he seems immature and immature, but I dare say that Kobe Bryant told me that he had to aspire to do a lot of things, and now he has done it all. Once, as we sat on the bus, he said to me, "I'm going to be the No. 1 scorer in Lakers history, I'm going to win five or six championships, I'm going to be the best player in the NBA." My reaction was, "Okay, whatever you want." But he looked me straight in the eye and said, "I'm going to be the Will Smith in the NBA." ”

Wei Zhiming also keeps motivating himself, he doesn't want to be the next Kobe, but he wants to inherit the spirit of Kobe.
