In the Las Vegas Summer League, Wang Zhuo returned to the Madison Square Garden Arena with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in 5 games. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the game that was lost was the most crucial one, and it was also the most undesirable to lose, and it was normal to lose a game without the coach's on-the-spot command, but Wang Zhuo didn't want to make excuses, after all, it was because of personal reasons that he couldn't appear on the bench on the court, so Wang Zhuo said he was willing to take the responsibility for losing.

However, the summer league is only a spontaneously organized event between teams, and most of the people who pay attention to it are the team's scouts and data analysts, and there are very few who really care about the results of the game, even if they stop outside the door of the top 8, they have not been questioned by fans and the media, after all, Wang Zhuo has won all four games, and Porzingis's super performance makes fans and team management seem to see the hope of the Knicks' revival.

As the head coach of a team, no matter how good the coaching level is, if he often suffers from off-field troubles, I am afraid that no team will dare to take over such a hot potato.

Not only that, but even Wang's history of gambling and his grudges with the mafia have been dug up by the media, and fans have used this to put pressure on the team's management to fire the dismal Chinese coach, despite his amazing coaching talent in the summer league.

"If you want to judge Wang Zhuo by God's will, then please press your hands on the Bible first, and swear to God sincerely, if anyone dares to say that he has never done anything against God's will, I will listen to your words and fire Wang Zhuo immediately!"

When the Knicks' management was under great pressure, the Zen master stepped out and publicly expressed the team's management's support for Wang Zhuo in front of the media and fans.

The Zen master's words made the fans who only knew about the war of words all day completely shut up, and the media began to give up on continuing to ferment this matter.

Porzingis' performance in the summer league not only won over the fans in New York, but also was recognized by the Knicks management, who decided to sign Porzingis to a four-year, $19 million rookie contract, and specially held a signing ceremony to welcome the Summer League Most Valuable Player to the team.

At the same time, Jerry Ann received the team's contract? Grant, even though he only has $10 million for four years, is enough to bring a black player out of the slums home, not to mention that he has stepped on the stage of his dreams, where he can continue to chase his dreams.

After Porzingis and Grant received the news of the team's signing, they sent a text message to Wang Zhuo as soon as possible, expressing their excitement and thanking Wang Zhuo for his earnest teaching in the summer league, allowing them to play well and finally successfully get the team's signing contract.

"You are all jades wrapped in a rough coat, I just help to peel off the cloak that prevents you from shining, so that the brilliance that belongs to you is fully revealed, come on, dear child, you will be the pride of your family!"

Wang Zhuo was sincerely happy for them, and did not forget to continue to encourage these two talented players when he replied to the text message.

Every year, there are countless hot-blooded young people who want to set foot on the NBA stage, but there are very few who can really stand on this stage, and the one who finally stands out as a superstar and stands at the top of the pyramid is one in a million.

"Hi Derek, I'm the Knicks' assistant coach Wang Zhuo, and I learned your contact information from Coach Thibodeau."

The period between the end of the summer league and the start of the preseason was a long offseason, and Wang Zhuo returned to New York from Las Vegas, and he did not stop his work to go on vacation, but to play with Derrick, the former MVP of the Chicago Bulls? Ross had a brief exchange.

The league stipulates that the team management is not allowed to privately recruit players with contracts until the door of the free trade market is officially closed, so after Wang Zhuo got Rose's contact information from Thibodeau, he did not contact him immediately, but waited until the end of the summer league and after the door of the free trade market was closed, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, although Wang Zhuo did have the intention to recruit Rose.

Wang Zhuo did not call Ross directly, but sent a text message, reporting to his home, and even explained the way to get his contact information clearly, just to express enough sincerity.

"Hey, Wang, I don't know you, but I trust Tom, if there's anything I need help with, just tell me."

Soon, Wang Zhuo received a text message from Rose, and he could see that Rose was very friendly and did not have any feelings of rejection.

"I think we can communicate directly on the phone."

"Absolutely."

After getting permission, Wang Zhuo dialed Rose's mobile phone number.

"Hi Wang, I know Tom likes Chinese food, I thought you were a foodie from China, I really didn't expect you to become a coach at such a young age, it's amazing, I watched the summer league, you have a very good set of tactics!"

When the bell rang for the third time, Rose answered the phone, and without waiting for Wang Zhuo to speak, he spoke eloquently.

"No, Derek, it's just an assistant coach, I'm calling to let you know that the Knicks are always ready to welcome you!"

Wang Zhuo did not hide the true purpose of the call.

"No, no, Wang, I think you're mistaken, Chicago is my home, I never wanted to leave here, I love the city, I love the team, I love the fans here and everything."

Rose's tone suddenly became a little hurried, obviously caught off guard by Wang Zhuo's recruitment, but his emotions did not appear very intense, but politely rejected Wang Zhuo with very friendly words.

"I think you're right, Derek, but the NBA is a business, there's no place where you'll be forever, and Michael played for the Wizards, didn't he?"

Wang Zhuo knew that Rose could not agree immediately, and he did not have the right to make such a decision, but what Wang Zhuo had to do was to make Rose understand his situation in Chicago.

"Oh my God, that's different, King, I think we've talked enough, I'm so sorry, I can't help you!"

Although Wang Zhuo gave the example of Jordan playing in the Wizards' comeback, Rose was still unmoved, and he also used the excuse of hanging up the phone.

"Goodbye, Derek, my phone is always open for you!"

Wang Zhuo heard the resistance in Rose's tone, and thought that he couldn't continue to talk, otherwise it would inevitably cause Rose's disgust, so he accepted it when he saw it, and after saying goodbye politely, he hung up the phone in his hand.

The management of the Knicks set the signing ceremony on July 30, and Wang Zhuo was also invited to attend as an assistant coach. Anthony.
