Coaches and executives were ignited by Sun Zhuo's bold words, this is not a big deal, Sun Zhuo can help the team win the championship in the NBA, which has the highest level of basketball, and almost became an FMVP, as long as there are teammates with enough strength, Sun Zhuo may not be able to lead the Chinese team to win the gold medal.

Both of them have bright eyes, for Director Xin, this is a great opportunity to enhance the status of the Chinese men's basketball team in the world, and he himself may also be rewarded by the state, whether it is from personal prospects or men's basketball honors, it will be a great improvement.

The same is true for Coach Harris who was hired, the Chinese men's basketball team has never achieved good results in world-class competitions, if he becomes the world's No. 1 under his coaching this year, wouldn't he also be a god directly?

However, Wang Zhizhi's problem is indeed difficult to deal with.

In May 2002, Wang Zhizhi, who played in the NBA Mavericks, was eliminated by the Mavericks, and according to the agreement, he should return to China to participate in the national team training and prepare for the World Championships, but Wang Zhizhi stayed in the United States.

Wang Zhizhi's rookie contract with the Mavericks ended at that time, and in order to continue to look for opportunities to play in the NBA league, he hoped to participate in the summer league in the offseason, but the general manager of the Mavericks did not agree, because the Mavericks had an appointment with the Chinese Basketball Management Center and the Bayi team in advance, and if they really wanted to play in the Mavericks in the summer league, they had to have the written approval of the basketball management center.

So Dazhi called the basketball management center, and the director of the letter told him: "We don't agree that you don't return to China first, we won't give you a letter of approval, you have to play a game, unless you don't let the media know." ”

Dazhi thought that this was the acquiescence of the basketball team, so he disappeared, he thought that this would make the basketball center, the Mavericks and the Bayi team not embarrassed, and it would be okay to return to the team when the time came, but he didn't expect that a female reporter from the "Dallas Morning News" wrote an article saying that Wang Zhizhi "defected" to the national team in order to seek an NBA contract.

Later, in October 02, Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the national team and did not return to the Chinese men's basketball team until 2006.

Wang Zhizhi is a Chinese player that Sun Zhuo likes very much, on the one hand, Sun Zhuo wants to take this opportunity to let Dazhi return to the men's basketball team as soon as possible, anyway, sooner or later, it is better to solve the matter in advance, on the other hand, among the members of the Chinese men's basketball team, there are few who can play in the World Series, Wang Zhizhi is very capable, Sun Zhuo needs such teammates who have also played in the NBA.

Sun Zhuo hopes that they can pay attention to this matter, maybe a difference between Wang Zhizhi may directly affect whether the Chinese men's basketball team can reach the top of the Olympic championship, you must know that four years later, when the 2008 Olympic Games, the United States men's basketball team will assemble a super luxury lineup second only to the dream team, at that time, no matter how much Wang Zhizhi is useless.

Director Xin attaches great importance to Sun Zhuo's request, plus they and the Bayi team have long wanted to solve this matter with Wang Zhizhi, but they didn't expect Sun Zhuo's request to speed up the process of their communication with each other, everything went very smoothly, a few days later, the State General Administration of Sports issued an amnesty order to Wang Zhizhi, and Dazhi also sincerely apologized through the media, and the matter was suddenly resolved.

Sun Zhuo didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The news of Wang Zhizhi's return to China has become the biggest news in China for a while, and sports fans across the country are also cheering, and the people are enthusiastic, all saying that the Chinese men's basketball team has Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo, two all-star players who are the main players in the NBA, and now there is Wang Zhizhi's return, which can compete with any team in the world!

After Dazhi returned to China to report on the national team, Sun Zhuo welcomed him, and if there were no accidents, Wang Zhizhi will join the Miami Heat next season to be teammates with his good brothers Wade and O'Neal.

Wang Zhizhi and Sun Zhuo are both Chinese players who are mixed in the NBA, Sun Zhuo has been cultivated by the Lakers as the core of the future, but Wang Zhizhi can't even get a contract, in order to fight for this contract, he was accidentally expelled from the national team, whether it is ability or personal freedom, Wang Zhizhi is not as good as Sun Zhuo.

Before returning to China, Wang Zhizhi was very jealous of Sun Zhuo, because the freedom and status that Sun Zhuo had was what he desperately wanted to fight for.

However, after meeting, Wang Zhizhi said to Sun Zhuo: "I have to thank you, if it weren't for you saying that we could compete for the gold medal this year, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back so easily, but do you really think that you, me, and Yao Ming, we will be able to fight against the American team?" ”

Sun Zhuo asked rhetorically: "Who do you think are the strongest players in the United States now?" ”

Wang Zhizhi thought for a while and said, "Your two teammates, O'Neal and Kobe, as well as Tracy McGrady of the Magic team, Vince Carter of the Raptors, and Kevin Garnett who just won the MVP. ”

Sun Zhuo said: "What you said, no one has come to participate in this year's Olympic Games. ”

Without waiting for Wang Zhizhi to speak, Sun Zhuo continued to ask: "Do you know who the coaches of the American team are?" ”

Wang Zhizhi naturally knows it very well: "Pistons coach Larry Brown, Spurs coach Popovich." ”

Sun Zhuo smiled: "They have all lost to me. ”

There is no need to say too much, these two questions are enough for Wang Zhizhi to know Sun Zhuo's self-confidence.

If you play seriously, the United States will send out the strongest lineup, and the Chinese team will not be able to beat it, but this year's American team is not so strong, as for other countries, there is no super physical talent to roll, and there is nothing to fear for Sun Zhuo, who has a repeat challenge card for the game.

A few more days later, on July 14, the Lakers finally caused a big change!

The Lakers announced that the team will change direction in the future, so they will not renew the contract with Phil Jackson, and starting next season, Phil Jackson will no longer be the head coach of the Lakers.

Bryant announced that he would exercise the player option from his previous contract and officially become a free agent.

O'Neal signed a seven-year, $121 million contract in 1996 and a three-year contract extension in 2000 that could last until 2006, but because Kobe Bryant has made it clear that he doesn't want to be on the same team as O'Neal, if O'Neal is still with the Lakers, he will choose the Clippers.

So, the shark swam eastward.

The Lakers traded O'Neal to the Miami Heat for Grant, Odom, and a first-round pick in '06.

The next day, the Lakers officially renewed the contract with Kobe Bryant, a big contract worth five years and 100 million.

The changes of the Lakers have finally settled, and the fact is the same as the previous deal, except that the length of Kobe's contract extension has been reduced, O'Neal still went to the Heat, Wade and Sun Zhuo were not involved, but when the two sides discussed the deal, they must have wanted both of them, but they were unwilling to give.

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, after knowing the news, Sun Zhuo was still nervous and could not sleep.

He called O'Neill first, and when O'Neill answered the phone, his voice looked very tired, which made Sun Zhuo feel a little uncomfortable, he really liked to be on the same team with O'Neal, but he couldn't do it next season.

"Shaq, will you hate me? I've got you to disappoint, you've been telling me ever since I joined the Lakers that the Lakers are going to be our team in the future. "This season, O'Neill has been really good to Sun Zhuo.

O'Neal chuckled softly, "Yes, I blame you for growing too slowly, if you have Kobe's strength now, the Lakers won't trade me in order to keep Kobe, but even if I stay, I will become your little brother, Sun, I want to thank you, you let me win another championship and FMVP, I now have four FMVP trophies, and Kobe only has one, he still can't compare to me, haha." Listen, I'm going to win a championship sooner than you and Kobe! ”

Sun Zhuo smiled: "Do you want to win six championships and six FMVP trophies?" So you don't just want to be MDP, you also want to challenge Michael Jordan to be the best in history? ”

O'Neal smiled: "Hahaha, I may win six championships, but I won't win six FMVPs, Sun, in this year's finals, you made me realize a problem, if I want to win the championship, I have to rely on young people like you, so, when I get to the Heat, I will tell Dwyane Wade that it is his team, I will get along with your good brother, and I will not be like me and Kobe Bryant again." Actually, I'm more curious about you and Kobe, can you two tell the difference, who is the boss? ”
