Chapter 328
Facing Wang Hao, Zhang Lili naturally did not hide anything.
In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, Wang Zhizhi hopes to play in the summer game of this season.
Because the Mavericks have already expressed a clear message that they will not renew Wang Zhizhi's contract.
That said, he needs to work hard for a contract.
As a professional player, he still recognizes the NBA stage very much.
Likewise, he would very much like to stay here.
After two years in the NBA, even a taciturn man like Wang Zhizhi actually has some friends.
It is through these friends that Wang Zhizhi has a more comprehensive understanding of the ecology of the NBA.
He also understood that he was a player of this type.
In the team last season, there was no particularly outstanding performance, and there was no impressive point.
There are many players of his type on the fringes of the NBA, and many of them mean they are replaceable.
Why are meat shield centers in the NBA so popular these days?
It is because of the particularity and irreplaceability of it. Anyway, if you prepare one, you may be able to use it.
Through friends, Wang Zhizhi knew that a player of his type wanted to be favored by NBA teams.
One thing is very important, that is to allow the teams that are interested in him to get close to him.
Knowing more about him will give the team more confidence to keep him.
Wang Zhizhi felt that his request was not high, and it was a friendly negotiation with the national team.
That is, he intends to finish the summer league, win a contract in the NBA, and then return to China.
He will help the national team play in the World Championships, and will also play in the Asian Games.
However, what he never expected was that when he applied to the national team calmly.
The national team rejected him indifferently.
The only words he got were business-like and had to be in the national team by that day.
No, it's not that I won't participate in the World Championships, I just want to go back later.
Wang Zhizhi was wronged!
Especially thinking about how much he paid so much to be able to come to the NBA from China at the beginning.
From 1999, wait until 2001.
At that moment, he suddenly had an idea, will he be unable to play in the NBA after returning to China this time?
This is not Wang Zhizhi's conjecture. For some masters in China, it is really possible.
After all, even if Yao Ming became the No. [-] pick in the NBA, he was almost forced to retire on the spot.
You said you didn't know the domestic basketball situation at that time?
Don't worry, look at the state of basketball 20 years from now, and you'll understand that nothing has changed anyway.
Management sets the rules and changes them day and night, always regressing for some reason.
For the performance of the national team, for the honor of the national team, these rules do not seem to have to be followed.
As for the club, it is always a deterrent to the club by withdrawing from the game!
To be honest, if you really quit, I will regard you as a hero.
But just a few days after retiring, you came back again, are you making fun of me?
As for clubs, they play tacitly with each other and treat fans like idiots, that's even more commonplace.
Jiang: I'm a little nervous about match-fixing tomorrow.
Above: It's okay, those Shark Pen fans can't see it.
Jiang: That's right, so what if you see it? What can they do?
On: Oh, bad, this time things got bigger.
Jiang: That's right. It's a big deal. I apologize first, and I'll talk about it after fooling around.
Above: Oops, our head coach is gone.
Jiang: It's okay. If you don't become the head coach, you can still be the general manager.
……
In China, there are so many tacit ball games, unless it is seen by the fans, otherwise the Basketball Association should not be able to see it.
The Basketball Association has formulated so many rules, what is the use?
Faced with such a management team, not to mention Wang Zhizhi, even Wang Hao might be a little worried.
After listening to Zhang Lili's words, Wang Hao asked immediately.
"No, Director Zhang, has the game time of the World Championships changed? How come I don't know?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Lili was also stunned: "I don't know about the game time of the World Championships!"
Well, the matter of the national team, after all, has little to do with Zhang Lili, after all, he is not the management of the national team.
Wang Hao sighed, and said, "Mr. Zhang, since the game time of the World Championships has not changed, why did the national team refuse to fight?
The NBA's summer league is usually held in June, not later than July, it's completely in time! "
Zhang Lili said helplessly: "That's true, but the national team..."
Zhang Lili was a little aggrieved, and he would not have taken up this stupid task if he knew it earlier.
To be honest, he actually supports Wang Zhizhi. As long as he is willing to return to China to play games, what will happen for a few days sooner or later?
It's just that he came here with a mission now, so he can't be angry.
Well, Wang Hao took a deep breath, and tried his best not to get angry, it was impossible.
After a while, he called Wang Zhizhi.
Sure enough, he didn't get through, but he still has a way.
He directly dialed Cuban's phone number, the owner of the Mavericks, he is still quite nice.
After receiving Wang Hao's call, Cuban was very happy and said that he hoped Wang Hao could help them avenge them.
There is naturally a reason for Cuban to be so polite. It is nothing more than his fancy to Wang Hao.
If one day, Wang Hao can be brought to Dallas, Wang Hao + Nowitzki, don't be too scary.
It's a pity that Cuban naturally thinks about it.
Wang Hao doesn't like the city of Dallas, after all, he will be scolded every time he comes here.
Only Nowitzki, only a white star like Doncic, will be fully accepted by Dallas.
What's more, with the relationship between Cuban and Nowitzki, Nowitzki will be the core of the team.
This is Dirk Nowitzki's team.
After exchanging pleasantries, he stated his purpose and asked Cuban to contact Wang Zhizhi for help.
Although Cuban is a capitalist, but this guy's temper is still very down-to-earth and very righteous.
For Wang Hao, for his former employees, he is still very willing to help.
Only half an hour later, Wang Zhizhi called.
"Da Zhi, why did you turn off the phone?
I found out about this, it was Director Zhang who told me, and he is here with me.
To be honest, of course I support you, but I don't agree with your approach.
No matter what the problem is, can't we just make it clear in person? "
……
"Da Zhi, instead of thinking about which team you represent in the summer split, you should think about the World Championships.
I'm going to the World Championships and it's in the US, you know what that means?
This means that there will be a large number of media, fans, and even scouts who will watch the Huaxia team's game.
Also, to tell you the truth, Yao Ming may have a very good pick in the NBA today.
It is very likely to be the top three. In this way, the media will not pay less attention to him.
You want attention, you want a contract, and your performance at the World Championships is the most important thing.
Remember, even if the summer split is over, don't sign the contract lightly, let's talk about it after the World Championships.
Of course, the premise is that you performed well at the World Championships. "
……
After chatting for half an hour, Wang Hao finally solved the problem. At least Wang Zhizhi was willing to communicate with the national team.
At the same time, he also expressed his support for Wang Zhizhi to the national team through Zhang's guidance.
Not only that, after Zhang Lili left, he also called Yao Ming.
Mr. Yao, you don't want to encounter this kind of thing when you play in the NBA in the future, do you?
Yao Ming is not a fool, in fact he is very smart, even now, he has already felt the pressure.
He hopes to enter the NBA this year, and has even fulfilled his commitment to the club, leading the team to win the championship.
However, he also sensed resistance.
At this time, if someone wants to join forces with him, he will naturally not refuse, especially if this person is Wang Hao.
With Wang Hao's special status in the national team and his international reputation, no one dares to go too far.
To put it bluntly, neither the national team nor the domestic basketball world can control Wang Hao.
He played it himself, and entered the national team after he made a name for himself in the NBA.
To be honest, at the beginning, Zhang Lili sent the news back to China, but the national team still disagreed.
But then, both Wang Hao and Yao Ming expressed their attitudes.
At this moment, even if they disagree, it’s okay. After all, the national team wants to achieve results, and it’s pointing at these three people.
After talking about the problems of the national team, let's also talk about the problems of Wang Zhizhi.
In fact, from this point of view, it is not the national team that is at fault, but Wang Zhizhi.
You can say that the national team does not show respect, but you cannot say that the national team has done something wrong.
After all, when Wang Zhizhi joined the Mavericks, he actually signed an agreement with the national team.
That is, after the end of the season, he returned to the national team immediately.
You cannot not abide by the agreement just because you are the weaker party, this is not advisable.
Especially the way he turned off his mobile phone and refused to answer anyone's calls was even more wrong.
Close the lines of communication, what do you mean?
To put it bluntly, he was afraid of the call from the national team, and he was afraid to face it.
To manage the mobile phone is like burying the head of an ostrich in the sand.
Solving this problem made Wang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, after all, this matter has been pending.
He also plans to perform well in this year's World Championships, but he cannot do without Wang Zhizhi's support.
At present, this national team is actually a bit out of date.
If Wang Zhizhi fails to appear in the competition due to these reasons, his strength will definitely be greatly reduced.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't solve all the problems by himself.
After solving Wang Zhizhi's matter, he can finally concentrate on the game.
Next, the Sonics will challenge the Kings away.
May 5, Sacramento, Sleep Train Arena.
Although Sacramento is located in California, it is not actually a big city.
The resident population is less than 50, and the population is only equivalent to a county in China.
It can't be compared with a big city like Los Angeles, and correspondingly, it can't be compared with a big city in the ball market.
Of course, these are old imperial calendars.
In fact, in recent seasons, Sacramento's ball market has actually developed very well.
The main reason is naturally due to the team's style of play.
In the past few seasons, it was mainly the white chocolate Jason Williams' style of play, which really attracted many fans.
Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of Adelman, the Kings' Princeton system played better and better.
The team's performance continues to improve, and the style of play is still very gorgeous. Fans are naturally willing to buy tickets to support it.
Therefore, when the Sonics stepped into the arena, what greeted them was the sound of mountains and tsunami.
Not only that, in addition to the provocations in the fans' shouts, there is also extremely strong self-confidence.
That's right, their confidence in the team, they firmly believe that the team can win at home.
Home field advantage is not just the referee's penalty, there are actually many other things.
Although it is invisible and intangible, it actually exists.
For example, in terms of momentum, with the support and support of the fans, the team playing at home is obviously more powerful.
In this case, it seems that there will be great advantages in terms of fighting, as well as in terms of physical fitness.
The same seems to be true of the game.
From the first minute of the game, the Kings showed extremely smooth passing and shooting touch.
In just 1 minute, Peja made two shots.
It's not that Michael Reid's defense is faulty, in fact, his defense is not bad.
In the Supersonics team, there is Gary Payton, Wang Hao, and PJ Brown.
Under their influence and requirements, in fact, the defense of other Sonics is not bad.
However, it was in this situation that Peja put the ball in.
If it's just Peja alone, then it's okay, isn't he allowed to have a good state?
But the question is, how does this work when everyone on a team is in good shape and feels hot?
Today's Kings is in such a state.
Seeing that Peja was in such a good state, Paul Westphal asked Wang Hao to consciously strengthen some assistance defenses.
However, today's Kings, running perfectly like a machine, immediately handed the ball to Christie.
And Christie today, as if infected by his teammates, also hit a three-pointer.
At this time, Wang Hao didn't dare to run around anymore.
When the Sonics tried to solve the problem beyond the three-point line as much as possible, the Kings changed their strategy again.
They play inside directly, and today's Chris Webber is even more helpful.
Whether it's a mid-range salt shot to PJ Brown, or a layup after a breakthrough, he played with ease.
To be honest, if it weren't for the offense, the Sonics played well, and it is estimated that the first half of the game would be over.
104:118
In the end, the Sonics had no choice but to swallow the defeat.
In this game, Wang Hao actually played very well, with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, but turned into an empty cut.
Playing good data, the team just lost. To be honest, this feeling is not good.
However, it is true that the Kings performed better today.
克里斯韦伯25分12篮板，佩贾得到了全队最高的29分，迈克毕比也有21分8助攻入账。
Three of the team scored 20 points and five scored in double figures. In this case, it is really difficult to lose.
The Kings successfully tied the score at 2:1.
Everyone has a good time, which is why the NBA playoffs are a series, not a single game to determine the outcome.
However, the Sonics were not disappointed. They never thought of sweeping away the game.
