On May 1st, Zhang Hao went to shoot an advertisement for McDonald's, a very simple advertisement, catching the ball, shooting, dunking, just these two actions, and then there was a happy scene of a group of people meeting to eat McDonald's after the game...... That is, a group performance, or a group performance in an advertisement.

Taking advantage of the heat, the advertisement came out soon, and he Zhang Hao was on TV again, so he showed his face.

Time passed day by day, Zhang Hao went to the stadium to train for four or five hours every day, which was very boring, but he was so boring for more than two years and nearly three years after he came to the United States, so he persevered.

On May 8th, finally, the subtitle prompt came!

"The Growth Card: The Mid-Range Shooting Specialist has been successfully used.

The muscle memory bonus for mid-range shooting training has ended, and the comprehension bonus for mid-range shooting training has ended. ”

"Special signing player Zhang Hao's ability evaluation: 65

Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 76, bounce 93, flexibility 95, stamina 90......

Shooting: 49 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 86 layups......

Technique: 54 possession, 43 passing, 86 catch-and-shoot ......"

At the end of the past week or so of training, his mid-range shooting has been improving rapidly, and when the strength of the mid-range shooting technique was improved to 90, his ability evaluation finally exceeded 65!

Basically, he only has the ability to shoot and eat cakes, and just like that, his ability evaluation is about to catch up with Pierce!

This made Zhang Hao understand the importance of having a strong point again, he knew a lot about the NBA in the future information explosion era, there were many players who were quite versatile in college and seemed to know everything, but they became parallel high-ranking rookies in the NBA, the reason is that those players can do everything, but they are not good at anything, and they don't see anything wrong in college, at most they suffer when they play against those same top college students, but in the NBA, all opponents are not weaker than the strongest opponents in college, Even if it was a substitute, it was the existence of the NCAA back then, so no one could beat it and ended his NBA career hastily.

90's NBA-level mid-range shot, Zhang Hao wanted to roar: "Who else!" ”

However, because of his always noble and glamorous image in the school team, Zhang Hao couldn't help it, after all, he only had such an absolute strong point.

In addition to the improvement of mid-pitching, his strength has also improved in the past period of time, because he has specialized in strength training, from the initial early 70s, to 76, but limited by weight, no real strength training and other reasons, his strength is still far from Pierce's first-class level in the NBA, more than 100 kilograms, and he is also a strong type, if Pierce gets rid of fat and strengthens muscle training, the strength can also go up or two steps.

In addition, the three-point ability value has also been increased to 49, the layup has been improved to 86, and the catch-and-shoot has also been practiced recently, which has been improved to 86.

When shooting in training, the head coach of the school team, Scott Collins, will come to help Zhang Hao practice catching and shooting when he is free, Zhang Hao is also practicing hard, but receiving and shooting is his strength, it is difficult to improve too much, this technology, actual combat is more important than training, but the game is not every day, so at present, it can only be trained, but due to the rapid improvement of mid-range shooting, the receiving and shooting can also be improved, breaking through the small bottleneck of 85 ability value, reaching 86 receiving and shooting.

……

On the night of the 8th, Zhang Hao invited Pierce and Aprile Clarke, as well as Aprile Clarke's teammate, a white female high school tennis player, to dinner.

Aprile Clark brought her female companion for Pierce's sake.

But Pierce is really a steel-talker, he doesn't understand what April-Clark means at all, and he is very good at letting Pierce talk and deal with all kinds of people, but in that regard, he has no consciousness at all.

Pierce took a big bite of a chicken leg and asked as he chewed, "Aix, how many days are you going to Adidas training camp?" ”

Zhang Hao responded: "About 8 days, I will report tomorrow, the training camp from the 10th to the 16th, if you can enter the final game list, then you will have to stay for another day." ”

"You can definitely get in, I got in last year, your recent progress is too fast, your mid-range ...... Wow, really, I have to train hard, what if I accidentally get beaten by you when I was in college? No way! I've got to train hard, and my mom has been getting a little impatient lately, so I'm going to have to stay in the gym and have three weeks off, so it's time to train hard......"

Pierce turned on the chatter mode again, the other two sports figures in the school, Zhang Hao and April-Clark, have long been used to it, as the top players in school sports, they have spent more time together, but they used to take Zhang Hao with them, and now Zhang Hao has become more active;

"April, the exam is coming up in two days, how are you preparing?"

"I don't have much confidence ......"

"You will definitely be admitted to university, and when you become a drama artist, I will definitely buy tickets to see you perform every day."

"You will definitely be able to get a basketball scholarship from the university through this training camp, but you don't need to buy a ticket, as an actor, you must have a family ticket, you give me the money, I will give you the ticket......"

Chatting and chatting, we talked about the university, and Pierce sighed: "I never thought that it would be so difficult for international students to get a sports scholarship. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao was in pain, fortunately, he was used to it, and responded: "It's okay, it's good to get used to it, I'm in a stable state of mind now." ”

Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about this matter as much as a month ago, Pierce and April-Clark were relieved, but they actually felt that Zhang Hao's setback this time didn't seem to be a bad thing, because what they saw was that after this setback, Zhang Hao didn't collapse because of the blow, but was a lot more cheerful.

But the two of them won't say this, and the two are really confused that there is no first-tier league university willing to give Zhang Hao a full basketball scholarship.

On the contrary, Zhang Hao's side, due to the example of Jeremy Lin in the future, became more and more calm, and began to plan a variety of alternatives.

The boy doesn't know what it's like to be sad, although it's obvious that everyone is getting busier and busier and less time together lately, but the three of them don't feel much, and they always feel that this kind of life will never end.

got together for a meal, and the next day, Zhang Hao took a plane to San Francisco at 9 o'clock in the morning, a little more than 1 hour of flight + 1 hour of airport bus, and at 11 o'clock at noon, Zhang Hao finally arrived at the San Francisco City Auditorium Arena, and there was a free lunch after the report, Zhang Hao must be going to rub.

The arena was built on the home court of the Warriors 30 years ago and has hosted many major tournaments, as well as Stanford University's basketball team, the Cardinals.

The Adidas training camp was held here this time.

If you want to say whether the previous McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest champion brought benefits to Zhang Hao, this time you can see the benefits, compared to the previous McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest no one cared about, this time Zhang Hao appeared in the San Francisco City Auditorium Arena, just arrived at the stadium, a reporter came to interview!

However, the reporter's questions were obviously not as friendly as the reporters invited by McDonald's before.

"Hello, Aix, I'm Emil Jackson, a reporter for the Bleachers Report, can I do a brief interview with you?"

The reporter in front of him looked like a dog, but he didn't have much kindness to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao nodded and replied, "Ou Yu." ”

"Aix, you are the first Chinese to participate in the McDonald's All-Star and Adidas training camp, is it because you received excellent and advanced basketball instruction after arriving in the United States that you got such an opportunity?"

Really!

This condescending tone, this topic...... Zhang Hao was not angry, thought quickly and replied: "The United States is the country with the highest level of basketball in the world, I am grateful to the coach of our school, Mr. Scott Collins, for inviting me to join, his guidance is very important to me, I was favored by Mr. Collins through a game, he thinks I am more talented than those American students he leads, I am honored, I played well in high school in the United States, and I was selected for the first team in California and the third team in the United States." ”

Zhang Hao's answer surprised the reporter, who was obviously unfriendly, and his answer was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he provoked, which was really unexpected.

This is a normal situation for most young people.

It's rare to be able to fight back effectively without being angry.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in order to divert domestic contradictions, the United States always had to find an imaginary enemy, and whether the other party wanted it or not, China became the first choice to threaten US hegemony.
