Chapter Seventy-Three: To the United States!
Sun Hao won the Champions League MVP at the age of 18, and his popularity in Europe reached a peak.
But in China, in terms of popularity, Wang Zhizhi ranks second, no one can rank first, and he is the same.
As early as the 1996 Atlanta Games, Wang Zhizhi had already become famous.
The youngest Olympic player at the age of 19, he played in eight games off the bench, averaging 11.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game.
Just by looking at these data, you know that this is definitely a talented teenager.
In fact, in that competition, Wang Zhizhi gave "Jordan's successor" Grant Hill and "Admiral" David Robinson a big risk against the American Dream III team.
That also made him famous, and the media described him after the Olympics as "attacking like a storm and defending like an impregnable wall".
What's more, he has pressed the "No. 1 center forward in Asia" on his head.
The name of "Chasing the Wind Boy" also appeared.
After returning from the Olympic Games, he helped the Bayi team complete four consecutive championships and became the star with the most high hopes from fans.
Especially last year, he was selected by the Mavericks with the seventh pick in the second round and the 36th overall pick, and his popularity was at its peak.
You must know that the Ginobili that Sun Hao met in Europe was in the same session as Wang Zhizhi, and he was the 57th in line!
In this era, if you want to say that there are people in the basketball field who are more popular than Wang Zhizhi, it is really nonsense.
Because they were far away, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian couldn't hear what was being said over there, they could only watch.
Wang Zhizhi's emotions looked a little excited at first.
Earlier, Li Yuanwei asked Sun Hao to participate in the national team training camp of the Sydney Olympics, which means that at this point, Wang Zhizhi should try out with the national team.
He really shouldn't have been here out of nowhere.
"Brother Hao, what are they talking about?"
Yi Jianlian's curiosity was filled.
Sun Hao shook his head.
He is systematic, but not downwind.
However, as the memory of Wang Zhizhi in his mind was awakened little by little, he could probably guess what was being argued over there.
He had the impression that Wang Zhizhi's personality was very gentle, gentle and unspeakable.
There is only one thing that can make honest people excited, and it must be going to the United States.
In fact, when Wang Zhizhi was selected last year, he was only 22 years old at that time, which was just right for international players.
But neither the Basketball Association nor the Bayi team refused to let go.
After all, the Bayi Dynasty has just begun, and they can't be willing to let the team boss go.
This is also human nature, but the problem is that Wang Zhizhi has stayed for a year to help the team complete four consecutive championships, and he ...... Still no sign of being able to go.
If you are any person, or as long as you are a person, you will be anxious.
That's a waste of the most golden sports career of a professional athlete!
After watching it for a while, the argument over there had subsided, Wang Zhizhi's expression was helpless, and finally he could only drive away with a sigh.
Sun Hao saw that this was also a pity for Wang Zhizhi.
Speaking of which, in the history of China's three major mobile Great Wall, only Yao Ming has performed as expected.
In addition to talent, character is really important.
Yi Jianlian is shy, Wang Zhizhi is gentle, which is difficult to eat in the NBA.
It's not that they can achieve the same achievements as Yao Ming with the same personality as Yao Ming, but at least they are certainly not what they are in history.
And it is estimated that this matter in front of him is not something that Li Yuanwei can decide, in the final analysis, it has the most to do with the parent team Bayi team.
After seeing the car disappear, Sun Hao looked back at Yi Jianlian again.
Wang Zhizhi has been restricted to death by the system, but Yi Jianlian has not.
As a good friend, he must not let Yi Jianlian repeat the mistakes of the past.
When he was in Europe, he said that he wanted to play with Yi Jianlian.
Now that he is going to the NBA, if he wants to do it, he must also let Yi Jianlian go to the NBA as soon as possible.
And really speaking, Gasol Jr. is a favorite brother and can bring Gasol Jr. to the United States together.
Why can't he bring Yi Jianlian with him?
Although he is not really a younger brother, but think about the two years after the crossing, isn't the person closest to him Yi Jianlian.
How different is that voice from Brother Hao and the real brother?
"Hao...... Brother Hao......"
Yi Jianlian's face turned red when Sun Hao's eyes looked at him.
He didn't know why Sun Hao suddenly let out that kind of pampering look.
He has always regarded Sun Hao as a big brother.
Sun Hao retracted his gaze, jumped up and patted Yi Jianlian's shoulder, just like he did three years ago.
"Go back and talk to your parents, I'll wait for you in the United States, and tell me in advance if you have difficulties."
He continued.
Yi Jianlian nodded.
Before, because it was a big event like going to Europe to play, he didn't talk to his parents, but if he just went to participate in a draft, he believed that his parents would agree.
And after facing Sun Hao today, he also has the idea of wanting to go abroad to play.
Although he is shy, it does not mean that he does not have dreams.
In fact, he desires his dreams no less than anyone else, and this is where his self-discipline lies.
By the time Yi Jianlian was sent away, Sun Hao went home in the evening.
After dinner, because of the time difference, the scouts on the American side started to work one after another, and he also received calls one after another.
After some communication, his pre-trial plan was also full.
Five trials in five days, one place a day.
Either at the training ground or on the plane on the way to the next training venue.
The next five days will definitely be a challenging five days for him.
However, Sun Hao has been playing professionally for so many years, and he can completely stand this kind of intensity.
That night, Sun Hao said goodbye to his parents, put on his schoolbag, and got on a plane to the United States.
The plane took off, and the city below it became smaller again.
He lived in the city for three years after the crossing, but now he only stayed for one day.
And this time is different from the last time I left.
The United States where he is going will face far more challenges than going to Europe.
Fortunately, this is the kind that can be predicted, and he can be mentally prepared in advance.
After the plane stabilized, he opened his schoolbag and took out a thermos cup, ready to continue to study the Lakers' triangle tactics.
It was at this moment that he noticed that there was an extra box in his school bag...... Something familiar and unfamiliar.
It's still the same thing, but the brand has changed, it's the same Indian brand he picked up three years ago.
I also deliberately picked a brand......
Dad!
Be a human being!
He was speechless, but just then, he noticed that there was a note on the side of the box, just like last time.
He pretended to casually turn his head to make sure that the person next to him wasn't paying attention to him, and then secretly took it out to look at it.
"Son, my father doesn't have any big requirements for his daughter-in-law, as long as it's a woman."
ββ¦β¦β
Sun Hao felt that his father had a hole in his brain.
What is this?
But speaking of which, Dad is really avant-garde, which was a very popular phrase in his time.
Putting the note away, Sun Hao looked at the triangle tactics for a while, then closed it, and then lay down to rest.
It looks like it's resting, but someone else has already entered the system and started training.
However, unlike the content of the previous trials, he practiced not three-point shooting or breakthrough, but defense.
After the La Liga semi-finals, he has realised that this is a point that he is now easy to target.
He doesn't expect to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, but he has to be able to see it.
Because the caddies have not been officially upgraded, a lot of defensive training can't be done, but not all.
There's one thing in defense that he can practice right now, the pace.
Sun Hao attached great importance to this part when he was training team members at Kangda in his last life.
Don't underestimate the pace, it's arguably the lowest part of the defensive pyramid.
If it is not practiced well, no matter how good the consciousness and ability are, it may not be able to bring into play.
Like the previous strength, bounce, and dribble, Sun Hao's training is also systematic.
First, the pulley step
The so-called pulley step is to use the left foot or the right foot to drive the other foot to slide on the floor.
It's simple, but it's important and the most important part of all the steps.
Second, the pace of moving back and forth
Move back and forth between the low post and 45 degrees to defend, and you have to move forward and raise your hand when you do this step.
After doing it three times, press forward from the low post along the baseline to the other side at 45 degrees, and then along the top line of the three-point line.
3. Step back and defensively
Step back and make a zigzag defensive move.
Fourth, the pace of forward and backward
Sprint forward quickly, change your pace and move backwards in midfield, and you must lift the back foot when you move.
β¦β¦
After sending Sun Hao on the plane, his parents drove home.
When they got downstairs, they found a man standing there.
Because they live in exclusive villas, you can tell at a glance that they are coming for them.
It's just that it's eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and it's not early.
The two looked at each other, and the mother instinctively moved closer to the father.
When I walked in, I found that it was a young man in his early thirties, carrying a bag, a camera, and a pair of glasses.
When he saw them walking past, the man immediately greeted them with a smile.
"May I ask if it is Sun Hao's parents?"
Dad nodded.
"Is Sun Hao at home?"
The man asked, expectantly.
"He just went to the United States."
As soon as my father came back, he was beaten by my mother.
"Who are you? What are you looking for my son? β
It's still my mother's high vigilance.
"Already in the United States?"
But the young man was already talking to himself after listening to his father's words.
Without waiting to ask again, he patted his head, then turned and ran away, leaving his parents confused.
"He's like...... Didn't ask where my son went? β
Waiting for the people to run away, Dad couldn't help but say.
"Why do you care so much about him, I'm nervous."
After my mother finished speaking, she had already turned around and went home.
β¦β¦
There are a lot of defensive steps, and Sun Hao's systematic training consumes a lot of physical strength at all.
Wait until he finishes the practice and sits in the system to rest.
Although the system time ratio is 1 to 2, it does not mean that the physical strength is unlimited.
He suddenly looked forward to the store after the system was upgraded.
If there were a stamina-restoring drink in it, even if it could only be used in the system, it would be a huge help to his training.
After all, with the continuous improvement of the system's functions, his physical exertion must also continue to increase.
When his physical strength has returned, he trains, and when he is tired of training, he rests.
This goes back and forth several times, and time passes unconsciously.
Not long after he came out of the system, the flight attendant's prompt sound came from the plane.
Sun Hao put away the thermos cup and put things away.
Not long after, the plane began to land at altitude, and Sun Hao slowly saw the scenery outside the window.
The iconic "Corn Building" of Marina City gradually appeared in his field of vision.
There's also the Willis Tower, the ninth-tallest building in the world.
Of course, there is also the familiar and inconspicuous United Center Arena that I have been looking for for a long time to find.
The first stop of Sun Hao's trial.
Chicago, it's here!
