Even Wang Zhizhi, who was the first to enter the NBA, has made waves again. Some people say that Wang Zhizhi, a young man chasing the trend, is no worse than Yao Min.
It depends on which angle you look at it. Wang Zhizhi has indeed achieved results in China, but why did he lose popularity so quickly in the NBA?
In this regard, we can only say that he was born in the wrong era. Wang Zhizhi was not very strong physically and did not like confrontation. If he had been born in the small ball era, with his elegant footsteps and precise shooting, he would have been accurate.
He is the target of every team's wooing.
The NBA around 2000 advocated confrontation, the collision of muscles in the paint, and centers and power forwards floating outside to shoot. That was the performance of a weakling. At this time, the NBA, from fans to players to coaches,
They don't like soft eggs.
Moreover, he doesn't like confrontation, so his body is not that tough. As long as there is a slight confrontation, his movements will be deformed. Whether it is defense or offense, his efficiency will be greatly reduced, and naturally he will not be able to achieve good results.
So we can only say that he was born at the wrong time.
When leaving, Jiang Hua said to Yao Min: "If you have the opportunity to meet Wang Zhizhi, let him practice more physical and defensive skills. 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 startled: "What's going on? What does Brother Wang think?"
"His current situation in the team is worrying, so he wants to use his summer vacation to stay in Chou Country to receive more professional training." Xia Song shook his head and said, "But there seems to be a communication problem with the Basketball Association.
The Chinese reporter used the word defection when reporting, and now the relationship between Wang Zhizhi and the Basketball Association is very tense."
"Yao Min, now is your time to play your role."
Yao Min said in confusion: "What role can I play at this moment?"
"Are you in 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 as Wang Zhizhi and listen to him and give him advice. If you can handle it properly
We can do this well and at the same time ease the relationship with the Basketball Association."
Xia Song nodded: "In that case, I'll make an appointment with Wang Zhizhi."
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 lump in his head, but he still forced a smile. He greeted Yao Ming very familiarly and nodded to Xia Song. He was 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 for training?"
"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 reported that I had defected." Wang Zhizhi shook his head: "If you don't talk about these unhappy things, I haven't done it yet.
Congratulations on entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick and showing your face to our countrymen."
"Brother Wang, if you believe me, just listen to my advice." Yao Min said with concern: "Don't be so stalemate with the country. As for whether you want to stay and train alone, we can talk about it slowly in the future."
"How to talk about it? Those big guys want results. The offseason is supposed to be the time for us to strengthen, but we have to be exhausted and have to compete in Asian and international arenas. 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 negotiated with the Basketball Association for me and I will try not to be drafted in the Asian competition."
Wang Zhizhi looked at Yao Min happily and patted his shoulder: "Brother, you are luckier than me. If I had such a noble person back then, I wouldn't be in such a worrying situation in the team now."
"To be honest, Boss Jiang made this appointment with you. Listen to Brother Xia and Boss Jiang, they will definitely be able to help you make arrangements."
Xia Song smiled and said: "So we can now confirm that you actually want to stay for training, not that you are scorning the call for the national team."
"Brother Xia, to tell you the truth, I come from a flower-growing family. How could I sneer at being called up by the national team? But you also know that my current situation in the team is a bit worrying. So I want to stay and pass this summer.
The reinforcements will give you a little more strength. Only in this way can you gain a firm position in the team."
Xia Song looked at Jiang Hua, and Jiang Hua nodded: "Your current problem is not that it can be solved by participating in a period of reinforcement training, but that you do not have a clear positioning for your career in the NBA."
Wang Zhizhi asked incomprehensively: "I am a center and power forward. I work hard to help the team win. This is my position."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "Your positioning depends on whether you want to be the boss, the second boss, or a good helper. You used to be the core in 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 because your personality is soft, you cannot be a good boss."
Wang Zhizhi was a little unconvinced, and Xia Song shook his head at him: "Boss Jiang's words are reasonable. If you are really a tough-tempered person, you will enter the penalty area to fight with others, but when you play, you always float outside and shoot.
Although I can score goals, I can't handle things, and I can't build momentum at critical moments."
"Be a 3D player. He has three-pointers and can defend." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "In the future, players like this will be very popular in any team. They are a higher level than blue-collar players, but they have immediate combat ability and a salary."
It won’t be too high, nor too little, and the most important thing is that both the team owner and the coach will like it.”
Wang Zhizhi nodded: "I will consider your suggestion."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Are you still willing to report back to China now?"
Wang Zhizhi shook his head hesitantly: "I still want to use this summer vacation to practice my ball skills."
"Yao Min will not go back this year because he has made an agreement with the Basketball Association, and you have not reached an agreement. If you don't go back, it will give people the feeling of betrayal." Jiang Hua advised: "Go back and finish this season.
I will help you negotiate the rest of the Asian Games."
Xia Song smiled and said: "This matter will be easier to handle. Boss Jiang will mediate. I think the Basketball Association will also give face."
"But now the Basketball Association and I are deadlocked here."
Jiang Hua patted the table: "What's so difficult about this? Isn't there an ugly reporter talking nonsense? Xia Song went back to contact our reporter, pulled this guy out and whipped his body, and let him talk nonsense, and then you
If you make a high-profile statement that you are willing to return to China to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games, the fans will be happy, the Basketball Association will be happy, and your problem will be easily solved."
