Even Wang Zhizhi, who was the first to enter the NBA, was re-set off in turmoil, and Wang Zhizhi, a young man chasing the wind, some people say that he is no worse than Yao Min at all.

It depends on which point of view you look at, Wang Zhizhi has indeed played in China, but why did he lose his popularity in the NBA so quickly.

In this regard, we can only say that he was born in the wrong era, Wang Zhizhi is not very strong, and he doesn't like confrontation, if he was born in the small-ball era, with his elegant footsteps, coupled with accurate shooting, he must be the object of each team's wooing.

The NBA around 2000 advocated confrontation, which was the collision of muscles in the paint area, and the center and power forward floated outside to shoot, which was the performance of soft eggs, and the NBA at this time, whether from fans to players to coaches, did not like soft eggs.

And he doesn't like confrontation, so his body is not so tough, as long as he fights a little, his actions will be deformed, whether it is defensive or offensive, the efficiency will be greatly reduced, and it is naturally impossible to play well.

So I can only say that he was born at the wrong time.

At the time of parting, Jiang Hua said to Yao Min: "If you have the opportunity to meet Wang Zhizhi, let him practice his body and defense more, it is actually not bad to be a 3D player." ”

Xia Song said worriedly: "I just got the news that Wang Zhizhi refused to return to China to participate in the training camp this year. ”

Yao Min was taken aback: "What's the matter?" What does Brother Wang think? ”

"He's in a worrying position in the team right now, so he wants to use the summer vacation to stay in the country and get more professional training." Xia Song shook his head and said: "But it seems that there is a little problem with the communication with the Basketball Association, there is a word defection used by an ugly country reporter when reporting, and now the relationship between Wang Zhizhi and the Basketball Association is very tense." ”

"Yao Min, now is the time for you to make a difference."

Yao Min wondered: "At this moment, what role can I play?" ”

"You're in the Ugly Country now? It's just that the relationship between you and the Basketball Association is not very stable, so emotionally speaking, you can stand on the same front with Wang Zhizhi to listen to him and give him advice, if you can properly handle this matter, and at the same time ease the relationship with the Basketball Association. ”

Xia Song nodded: "In that case, I will ask Wang Zhizhi to meet." ”

Probably because he hadn't seen his old friend for a long time, Wang Zhizhi rushed over as soon as he received the news.

It can be seen that his current situation is not very good, he has a pimple on his head, and he still has a strong smile, he is very familiar with Yao Ming, and nodded to Xia Song, he is full of curiosity about Jiang Hua.

Yao Min asked with concern, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" I heard that you refused to return to China to participate in the training camp? ”

"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just that I wanted to participate in professional training here in the summer, but it was rumored that I was out of shape, saying that I defected." Wang Zhizhi shook his head: "Don't talk about these unhappy people, I haven't congratulated you yet, you should enter the NBA as the champion and show your face to our countrymen." ”

"Brother Wang, if you believe me, listen to my advice." Yao Min said with concern: "Don't make such a fuss with China, as for you want to stay and train alone, you can talk about this matter slowly in the future." ”

"Talk about it? The offseason was supposed to be a time for us to strengthen, but we have to be tired and compete in Asia and internationally, so how can we have time to strengthen? ”

Yao Min pointed at Jiang Hua and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Boss Jiang has already helped me negotiate with the Basketball Association, and the Asian arena will try not to recruit me." ”

Wang Zhizhi looked at Yao Min happily and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you are luckier than me, if I had such a noble person back then, I would not be in a worrying situation in the team now." ”

"To be honest, this appointment with you is Boss Jiang's, if you listen to Brother Xia and Boss Jiang, they will definitely be able to arrange it for you."

Xia Song smiled and said: "So we can now be sure that you actually want to stay and train, not that you are sneering at the call up of the national team." ”

"Brother Xia, I won't tell you, I'm a flower planter, how can I scoff at the call up of the national team, but you also know that my current situation in the team is a bit worrying. So I want to stay and make myself a little more powerful through this summer's reinforcement. In this way, you can stand firm in the team. ”

Xia Song looked at Jiang Hua, and Jiang Hua nodded: "Your current problem is not that you have to participate in a period of reinforcement training that can be solved, but that you don't have a clear and definite positioning for your career in the NBA." ”

Wang Zhizhi asked incomprehensibly: "I am the center, the big forward, trying to help the team win, this is my positioning." ”

Jiang Hua shook his head: "Positioning depends on whether you want to be a big boss, a second leader, or a good helper, you used to be the core of the Bayi team, but after you arrived in the NBA, you found that you are still a long way from the core, so at this time you have to lower your expectations, and your personality is soft, you can't be a good big boss." ”

Wang Zhizhi was a little unconvinced, Xia Song shook his head at him: "Boss Jiang's words are reasonable, if you are really a hard-tempered person, you will enter the forbidden area and be tough with others, but you always play outside to shoot, although you can score goals and score, but you can't carry things, and you can't get momentum when it comes to the key." ”

"Be a 3-and-D player, have three-pointers, and be able to defend." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "In the future, this kind of player will be very popular in any team, a grade higher than blue-collar players, but it is also combat power, the salary will not be too high, nor too little, and the most important thing is that both the team leader and the coach will like it." ”

Wang Zhizhi nodded: "I will consider your suggestion." ”

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Are you still willing to return to China to report now?" ”

Wang Zhizhi shook his head hesitantly: "I still want to use this summer vacation time to practice my skills." ”

"Yao Min won't go back this year, because this is what he agreed with the Basketball Association, and you haven't negotiated, if you don't go back, it will give people the feeling of treachery." Jiang Hua persuaded him: "Go back and finish this Asian Games, and I'll help you talk about the rest." ”

Xia Song said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, with Boss Jiang in the middle, I think the Basketball Association will also give face." ”

"But now I'm stuck here with the Basketball Association."

Jiang Hua patted the table: "What's so difficult about this?" Isn't there a nonsense ugly country journalist? Xia Song went back to contact our reporters, pulled this guy out and whipped the corpse, and let him talk nonsense, and then you made a high-profile statement that you are willing to return to China to participate in the Olympic and Asian Games, the fans are also happy, the Basketball Association is also happy, and your problem is easy to solve. ”
