Chapter 135: I Can't Learn at All
Zhang Weiping and many people in the Chinese basketball community clearly understood the level of world basketball, the level of the NBA, and their own level through the Olympic Games in the eighties and nineties, especially after the formation of the dream team. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So what interests many people is, as a mixed-race with 50% Chinese ancestry, what is the secret of Zhang Fu's success?
Before the formal interview, Zhang said hello to the camera in a few simple Chinese.
Of course, he was greeting the Chinese fans.
Then the two sides began to communicate in English, which was not his pretending to be 13, and Zhang Wei also wanted to learn Chinese, but he did not have time to learn it. If it weren't for Miss Bai Zhi teaching him some Cantonese first, and then Miss Lin Xulei teaching him some Chinese, he wouldn't even be able to greet him in simple Chinese.
After a brief polite exchange, Zhang Weiping couldn't wait to ask about his basketball experience, hoping to dig out the experience from Zhang Fu that Chinese players could learn from.
Zhang Wei doesn't hide his selfishness, except for the "system" that no one believes when he says it, he answers almost anything he asks.
But soon, Zhang Weiping's answer made Zhang Weiping only shake his head and smile bitterly, because this kid's talent may not be comparable to his seventy percent, and I am afraid that even American rookies will not be able to copy his road to success.
"I officially joined the basketball team when I was in junior high school, and from the beginning I trained two to three times as much as the other players. I pay a lot of attention to physical and confrontation training, because I feel that any technique is based on the premise of confrontation, so I haven't practiced too many fancy techniques, and I have been trying to hone my basic skills as much as possible. The purpose of this is to make it impossible for my opponent to interfere with my technical movements, and even the bag clip cannot deform my technique. I'm going to find a way to deform their technical moves so I can be invincible. ”
Zhang Zhu's playing style is based on his beast-level body, if there is no such BUG-level physical fitness, it would be useless to say anything.
So Zhang Weiping can only smile bitterly, the most talented domestic player is 18-year-old Wang Zhizhi, but his physical confrontation and defense are still weaknesses, and defense is actually based on the body, if the physical confrontation is not good, then the defense must not be good.
Zhang Weiping himself has been praised by some industry insiders as China's Buckley, but he knows very well how far he is from Barkley, who has been traveling in the United States for business all year round.
But this Zhang Zhu can be misplaced in the game and the real Barkley anal, although he is far from Sir Ba's opponent, but Zhang Zhu is only 18 years old, such a confrontation ability is already BUG level, who among the Chinese players can learn from him!?
At this time, the two main players of the Chinese team, Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong, can be regarded as one of the most physically gifted players in the history of Chinese basketball, as well as Song Tao, who fell due to injury, but how far is the gap between them and American players? And even how much gap is there with European players?
After all, the influence of the NBA has spread to China over the years, and the people may not know how big the gap is, but they must know it.
Zhang Wei really knows everything, and he says everything.
In addition to telling the film crew about his high school basketball experience, as well as some experiences and training methods in the United States, he even revealed a lot of ways to get along with American players, but these still made Zhang Weiping smile bitterly.
Zhang can single-handedly beat all the players in a joint tryout, he can use the team's veteran players to stand up, and he can even bully American players...... But these are still based on his absolute strength, otherwise he would have been beaten for a long time.
However, Zhang Wei also put forward some very useful suggestions in the end, such as he said: I know Ma Jian, his strength is enough to play in the NBA, but the NBA is a complete system, a completely unfamiliar player, you need to do a lot of things to join in, unless your personal strength is superb, otherwise it is not enough strength.
Zhang Qian also knew that his experience was not representative, and couldn't help but joke: "My experience may not be suitable for others to learn, most players want to play in the NBA must first adapt to American basketball, Ma Jian played too few games in college, he came too late, his personal style of play has been formed, and he has not met a suitable college team and coach, causing him to lose a lot of advantages." ”
In the end, he seriously suggested: "I think international players, especially Chinese players, want to come to the NBA to play, then they must come early, it is best to enter the American university before the age of 20, so that it is very suitable to participate in the NBA draft after playing in the NCAA for two or three years, once the rookie is over 24 years old, few teams are willing to take it, unless you have the strength of Sabonis." So, my advice is to have an NCAA experience, and a summer camp and pre-game camp. ”
Zhang Weiping was very grateful for Zhang Fu's sincerity, and then he inadvertently revealed his true intention to come to the United States this time, and tried to ask: "Zhang Fu, we all know that you are half Chinese blood, so do you have any thoughts of playing for China?" ”
Zhang Wei is not stupid, he knows that the consequences of his answer can be big or small, but he is not so afraid that joining the Chinese team will cause disgust in the United States, in addition to the current surplus of American talent, another important reason is - he is still an Australian citizen, not an American citizen at all, so strictly speaking, his joining the Chinese team will only attract the disgust of Australian fans, and will not make American fans feel too much.
"Of course, I've always been interested in China, it's a magical and ancient country, but I need to discuss this kind of thing with my family, there are a lot of practical difficulties here."
Zhang Weiping's words gave the Chinese side some reverie, Zhang Weiping has the task of the Basketball Association and the General Administration of Sports, if there is a chance to win Zhang Fu to join the Chinese team this time, then you must not let it go.
But there are really a lot of problems in this matter, and the American Dream Team has always wanted to recruit Zhang Zhu, and Nike has spared no effort to implement it, intending to let Zhang Zhu squeeze out Hill to enter the Dream Third Team, and it is much more convenient to get dual citizenship than to join the Chinese nationality.
The 1996 Atlanta Olympics are less than four months away, and this time is by no means enough time for Zhang Yu to become a Chinese citizen, and then he has to train with the Chinese team, which is unrealistic.
But if you get a dual nationality, it only takes a month or two to complete. And there is no run-in trouble in joining the Dream Team, and the U.S. team is all singles, blocking and dismantling, and breaking through the ball in the Olympics...... These are the most commonly used tactics in the NBA, and players only need to run in one or two weeks before they can go out, and there are basically no opponents by relying on their individual ability.
CCTV's film crew conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Mao for more than half an hour, and then filmed him training with the western rookie team.
When Zhang Weiping and the young Su Qun, who served as a consultant, looked at Zhang Fu, who immediately became the central figure of the inside, as soon as they returned to the court, the feelings in their hearts really couldn't be expressed in words, in short, they felt a lot!
At the same time, they also had some overflowing pride in their hearts, after all, no matter how successful Zhang Qi was, half of his Chinese blood in his body could not be hidden.
This also proves that Chinese are not unable to make a name for themselves in the field of basketball, even if the current Chinese players are not as talented as Zhang Wei, a freak, but as long as he has half of his talent, I believe he can also mix in the NBA. For China, which is now poor and white, most of the Chinese people will not be ambitious, and their aspirations are not big, but they just hope that their country will have a player who can start in the NBA.
The CCTV crew was the only news media that was allowed to conduct on-site interviews during the training of the rookie team in the West today, and this son-like treatment naturally made a large number of American colleagues who were stopped out of the door jealous!
But no matter how much they protested, this was a special release order announced by David Stern, and now in order to develop the Asian and Chinese regions, the president has done everything he can, and he is crazy.
Under the lens of the CCTV film crew, Zhang Yi became the core of the whole team in the afternoon training, and he didn't even need to be instructed by himself and the assistant coach of the supersonic speeds, as long as he appeared on the field, he would automatically become the core of the team, and other players would naturally play around him.
In the evening, the players had dinner two hours before the game and were ready to leave for the tournament arena.
The diet of NBA players is not as disciplined as fans think, except for a very few players who are extremely strict with themselves, most people have no taboo habits, basically eat whatever they want, and eat as much as they want.
But the difference is that some players use high-intensity training to get these calories out, so it doesn't matter until the age of 30.
Of course, those who can still maintain excellent condition after their thirties must be very self-disciplined players, and they will be very disciplined and scientific in controlling their diet, at least they will not have the habit of overeating.
Zhang Fu is a relatively self-disciplined player, and he knows that maintaining self-discipline and a scientific diet before the age of 20 will make his body develop better.
During the two years of hardship, he endured it, and after the age of 20, he was not so strict with himself anymore.
Now he's used to having breakfast and lunch before and after training in the morning on game days, taking a nap in the afternoon and eating something to replenish energy, basically that disgusting nutrient solution and fruit, and then take an hour's break before heading to the stadium to train or warm up for a game.
And when there is no competition, he will eat two meals in the evening, the first meal is mainly chicken and fish, but he will not eat too much, and the second meal is half an hour before bedtime, he will eat a little more, basically the habit of eating small and frequent meals.
If there is a game, then he eats a little food prepared in the locker room at halftime, and each team prepares some food to replenish the energy of the players at halftime. After the game, Zhang Mao will consume a certain amount of food before leaving, but he will still maintain a habit of eating small and frequent meals, and his intake is controlled.
The CCTV film crew even copied back his recipes and training plans, the former can be studied completely, the amount of training can also be reduced as appropriate, and the training method can also be copied back, in short, CCTV dug up a lot of useful things from Zhang Yu this time.
Zhang Fu didn't know that his emphasis on adapting to the American basketball style as soon as possible, as well as the content of having to participate in summer league and preseason games, invisibly helped many Chinese players and made them avoid some detours.
