When he first arrived in the United States, he was asked by the head coach to practice his body, and almost all of his first year of high school was to practice physical fitness, shooting and layup skills, and only in the second year did he skip directly to the third year of high school to serve as the main force of the team.

During that time, he initially improved in terms of strength and speed, but after he was strong enough to have an impact on speed and flexibility, Coach Scott Hollins stopped his physical training and let him specialize in technique, and when his body was fully developed, he would consider whether to do dexterity or power.

Zhang Hao's idea is to take the road of speed and dexterity when he is young, and when he is older, after the peak of his athletic ability, he will take the part of strength.

Originally, Zhang Hao had a lot of concerns about using the strength growth card this time, and the most worried was that he would be injured if he practiced too hard, so he was just going to try it, and if it had an impact on speed and flexibility, and there was a risk of injury, then temporarily suspend this training.

After all, for him, speed, flexibility and stamina, these three points are a very important part of his off-ball play.

He plans to go to the power stream when he gets older, in addition to the impact of the decline in physical fitness, there is also a very important point, seven or eight years later, he will definitely not be the only strong point he is now, and after so many years, his ability to play singles will definitely become stronger.

"Is it possible that when you use a growth card to improve a certain physical fitness, you will not be able to bring about the negative impact of this training? Or is it to a minimum? ”

Zhang Hao thought about it, but he was still ready to continue training, and once his speed and flexibility were affected, he would temporarily stop and focus on shooting and running training.

The training has been very good, but there has been a headache lately.

That's where broker recruitment.

One thing that affects his current appeal to a great agent is that he's already signed his rookie contract on his own!

Generally speaking, as long as there is a possibility of being drafted by an NBA team, agents will rush to it, and a salary cut of three to five percent is a big temptation for agents.

The broker industry is not as mixed up as it seems, like 99.9 percent...... Most agents live in poverty when they don't have NBA players or players who have successfully panned for gold overseas, and sometimes they have to invest in a player out of their own pocket, and when the player has not yet found a job, he has to keep it, and it may not be rewarding.

He doesn't have much commercial appeal right now, because there is no precedent for him to show commercial value, so his current attraction to a great agent is only a royalty on a guaranteed contract for the ninth rookie.

But he signed his rookie contract himself! Now sign the agent, the agent has no commission, unless he takes the initiative to give, otherwise after the agent signs him, if there is no other income, it is equivalent to three years of work in vain.

He estimated that the Nets didn't expect to sign in a hurry to create trouble for him to recruit an agent.

Because the other players who participated in the draft, without exception, all had agents, including Garnett, who hired an agent after making up his mind to participate in the draft.

Let Zhang Hao take the initiative to give three to five percent of his salary? If it was before the signing, he would definitely be willing, but now that the contract has been signed, then he is really unwilling, tens of thousands of dollars a year......

"Let's do it first, anyway, from the current situation, it seems that I haven't shown any commercial value, and I'll talk about it when I enter ......the NBA."

Zhang Hao is ready to put this matter aside for the time being, wait slowly, and then continue to sign the contract in case a powerful agent has a good eye to find him.

Anyway, he knew that once he hit it, the old Jewish man in New York would definitely praise him, and his commercial value would be shown, and those powerful agents would immediately try their best to get together.

Athletes, in the final analysis, still rely on competitions to show their value, which Zhang Hao has seen too much in the information age in the future.

Didn't Charles Barkley say that if Jordan doesn't play well, with Jordan's appearance, education and character, he can only be a plumber in adulthood......

Zhang Hao estimated that the old Jewish man must want to use him to make a fuss and promote it in the Chinese market now, but the NBA has been suspended, and the NBA cannot use the name and image of any player......

Just a few days ago, the NBA officially announced the shutdown, following the closure of the Las Vegas Summer League on July 3, and the Orlando Summer League, which began on July 9.

This summer, even if he doesn't stop, he only has to play in the summer league, and now that the summer league is gone, he really has nothing to do.

So, he's ready to put his heart and soul into training.

Watching the value of his lifespan decrease day by day, he can only suppress that uneasy emotion when he feels the improvement brought by his training.

……

On July 8, 1995, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the South Korean team 87-78 in the final of the Seoul Basketball Asian Championship in South Korea.

In an interview after the game, Hu Weidong was asked about Zhang Hao, and he modestly replied: "Although Zhang Hao is very young, he dares to go to the United States, which is something I envy very much, and my dream is to enter the NBA to play, he has done what I have not done, I hope he can play a world in the NBA, let the children in China know that Chinese players can also be in the world's top league......"

Zhang Hao hesitated that it was inconvenient to disseminate information in recent years, and he didn't know how much of a sensation he caused in China, nor did he know that he was selected during the Basketball Asian Championships.

But he did give basketball people in all walks of life a huge confidence boost.

After winning the championship, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to China, and it is currently the preparation period of the Chinese Basketball League A, and the representatives of top players and young talents in China are busy.

The Blue Association initially planned that there would be 12 teams participating in the first season of the league, but the players came from all over the world, and the difference in the strength of the players in each province was quite large, and investors were needed, that is, team owners, players, officials of the provincial Blue Association, and officials of the Blue Association...... Negotiate and discuss together, call the players and bosses, mainly those officials don't understand this aspect of things at all, run the league because the league can sell tickets, and the Blue Association has a commission for selling tickets, regardless of whether the team makes money or not, selling tickets has to be commissioned.

However, the Blue Association has had a headache recently, and a military player has withdrawn from the first season of the league, and the player is working hard to apply to the military, hoping that the country can recommend him to go to the United States to study at university.

The news did not reach the outside world, but the top basketball players in the country knew.

Because this player is a genius who was named the best center in the recently concluded World Youth Basketball Championships!

Hu Sanpao and the God of War were extremely excited when they heard the news, and rushed to the young genius's home to understand the situation.

"Brother Hu, Brother Liu, are you also here to persuade me?"

"No, no, no, we hope you can stick to it, and we will help you!"

Wang Zhizhi thought that the two strongest players inside and outside the national team were here to persuade him to re-sign up for the A-League that started at the end of the year, so his attitude was not very good, after all, he was only 18 years old, and he was tossed enough by the people from the Blue Association these days.

In terms of the men's basketball team of the Nanjing Military Industrial Corps, the leaders have different opinions, some people are worried that the Bayi team has just been established, and the loss of Wang Zhizhi's strength will be affected, and some people think that it is good for Wang Zhizhi to have momentum, and to go to a stronger league to break through, there can be greater improvement, at least to see the world, instead of nesting in the immature basketball circle in China.

The general public does not know that in terms of team events, the national team has always been weak in the world, especially in the men's team events, although there are also team competitions in table tennis and badminton, but the team competition is actually a single or double competition, not a team event in the real sense, and the senior management of these sports is very clear.

Therefore, there is another doubt that makes the men's basketball team of the Nanjing Military Industrial Corps hesitate - what if Wang Zhizhi does not play well in American universities?

So isn't the future spending of the men's basketball team they have high hopes for a joke? If he doesn't play well in an American university and returns to China to beat up others, how should others deal with themselves?

The players are not monolithic, there are people like Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong who support Wang Zhizhi, and some people have the same worries as those high-level executives, afraid that they will lose face in the future, so they came to be a lobbyist for the Blue Association and persuaded him not to do stupid things.

And some people want to support Wang Zhizhi, but they don't dare to support it, for fear of affecting the future.

The human heart is always complicated.

Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong were the first to support Wang Zhizhi among the players who were going to participate in the first season of the A-League, and they came directly to his home.

This made Wang Zhizhi very moved, and he also apologized for his unfriendly attitude just now.

Liu Yudong patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder: "It's okay, we just hope you can persevere, you are more talented than us, at this age, you should go to the United States to play, if you just become like us in the end, then we can only go around in Asia, we all hope that you can lead us to the world in the future instead of just ruling Asia!" I would like to see the national team win more games at the World Series than win one game or two and barely get to the quarterfinals and be eliminated......"
