After receiving the award on site, taking photos, and then returning to the locker room, there was a wave of celebration.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know which bastard kept spraying champagne into his crotch, making little Zhang drunk and blinding the phone numbers in his pocket.
He vaguely remembered that there were several beauties among the people who plugged in their numbers.
With a strong sense of drunkenness, Zhang Zhiyuan fell asleep, but the outside world had not calmed down yet.
Although it is late at night here in the United States, there are not a few people who choose to party all night long.
Houston's bars, nightclubs, and clubs are crowded.
Fans don’t need to know each other, as long as they know that the other person is a Rockets fan, they can toast and drink together.
Just say that Zhang Zhiyuan played well or Yao Ming played well, and there will be a common topic.
It was broad daylight in China at this time, but the way the Chinese fans celebrated was not so wild. They were more chatting with each other and talking about how awesome Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming were.
Bars, this is a place where only rich people go.
For ordinary student fans, if they can raise money to go to the next restaurant, it would be a grand way to celebrate.
Of course, if they are lucky and the boss is a fan, they might be able to get free of charge.
"Congratulations to our famous basketball players Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming for winning the NBA championship together. This is the pride of Chinese sports."
"Brother Zhang and Brother Yao are so handsome. They are my idols."
"Chinese basketball goes out of the world and towards glory."
...
Chinese celebrities and artists have posted messages to congratulate Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming on their achievements.
Basketball is one of the top five most influential sports in the world, and it is firmly ranked among the top two in China. It is really inspiring to achieve such great achievements in basketball.
Some exaggerators directly called Yao Ming and Zhang Zhiyuan national heroes.
Although it was a bit excessive, no one objected at this time.
The next day, Zhang Zhiyuan woke up.
The phone rang as soon as I turned it on, and there were dozens of congratulatory text messages inside.
As long as people know his number, almost everyone has sent text messages.
"Maybe, this is the price of fame."
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed.
When I was unknown in my previous life, I probably wouldn't receive a single phone call for a month.
And now, even though he hasn't published his private number, the calls are still coming.
If the number is published, then the number will definitely be discarded.
In the afternoon, Rockets owner Alexander and general manager Mo Lei couldn't wait to find him together.
They gave the important task of arranging the championship parade to others because renewing Zhang Zhiyuan's contract was more important.
Although they all know that Zhang Zhiyuan has no intention of staying with the Rockets, they still have to work hard to fight for it.
Alexander knew best how valuable Zhang Zhiyuan was.
When he took over the Rockets, he was one of the poorest owners in the NBA.
But after acquiring Yao Ming, his assets began to skyrocket, and now he ranks in the middle of the pack among NBA bosses.
In Alexander's view, Zhang Zhiyuan's value is greater than Yao Ming.
Because Zhang Zhiyuan plays more gorgeously, is better at showing off, and is more topical. Although his mind will get a little windy from time to time and he will do some incredible things.
But in the face of such huge benefits, this risk is almost negligible.
"Zhang, my hero."
Alexander was very enthusiastic, while Mo Lei followed behind with some embarrassment and embarrassment.
He had a conversation with Zhang Zhiyuan before that. At that time, he didn't believe that Zhang Zhiyuan could win the championship, and they ended up breaking up on bad terms.
And now, Zhang Zhiyuan has actually led his team to win the championship.
this......
The three of them sat down, chatted for a few words, and then immediately got into the topic.
"Zhang, stay here. There are so many fans who like you here. You are the hero of this city. If you leave, the fans will be very sad. Here, you can enjoy the highest treatment, maximum salary, and the right to speak.
Everything is OK.”
Alexander said.
"But I want more championships."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"You can still win the championship if you stay in Houston. If you join forces with Yao, wouldn't it be easy to win the championship?"
Mo Lei said.
"Yao and I are both Chinese. Do you think the league will allow a team with two Chinese cores to win championships all the time?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
If he and Yao Ming win a championship, it will definitely not matter to Stern, and they can also expand the Chinese market.
But if Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming continue to win the championship, let alone Stern, I am afraid that the White House will not agree.
This is not a trivial matter. The fact that the two Chinese people have won the championship will to a certain extent undermine the self-confidence of the American people and create a feeling that the Chinese are more powerful.
A very important role of sports competition is to enhance national self-confidence. Otherwise, why would athletes work so hard in the Olympics? Wouldn't it be more harmonious to have a friendly competition where friendship comes first?
Let alone Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming, even if Zhang Zhiyuan alone leads the team to win championships, the league will probably make small moves to favor local players.
"this....."
Mo Lei and Alexander were stunned for a moment. They had never seriously considered this issue before. Now that Zhang Zhiyuan reminded them, they quickly understood the key points.
However, Mo Lei chose to play dumb: "Zhang, you may be worrying too much. Alexander is the owner of the Rockets, and I am the manager of the Rockets. We will safeguard the interests of the Rockets, and the league does not dare to mess around.
"
Mo Lei's thinking is very simple. He can keep Zhang Zhiyuan as long as he can. If he keeps Zhang Zhiyuan for one more season, he can earn one more season's money. As for whether Zhang Zhiyuan can win another championship, he really doesn't care.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and dismissed Mo Lei's verbal assurance.
"Or, we can send Yao away..."
Mo Lei was stopped by Alexander before he finished speaking. This was simply impossible, Zhang Zhiyuan could not agree, and it was also inappropriate.
Furthermore, Yao Ming's value will not be much lower than Zhang Zhiyuan, there is no need.
"When Yao retires, or when you have won enough honors, remember to come back to Houston. The door here will always be open for you and you will always be welcome."
Alexander said.
"It's easy to talk about."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled. He couldn't get enough honors. Once he got enough, he could retire directly.
After sitting for a while and exchanging pleasantries, Alexander and Mo Lei left.
On the way, Mo Lei asked: "You just give up and we don't want to fight anymore?"
"How to fight for it? He is an unrestricted free agent. We have no choice but to get together and part ways."
Alexander said.
"It's all my fault that I didn't sign a long-term contract. I'm afraid he had already made preparations in advance and used the Rockets as a springboard. He is really a cunning guy."
Mo Lei regretted not seeing through Zhang Zhiyuan's intentions.
"Watch your words, he is still a hero of the Rockets. Besides, other teams don't have this chance to use this springboard, so we are not at a loss."
Alexander said.
He only spent hundreds of thousands to give the team another championship. He really has no qualifications and is dissatisfied.
The other team owners don't know how jealous they are.
After sending Alexander away, Zhang Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to meet the managers of other teams.
He is a goddess now, those team managers are just licking dogs, it doesn't matter if they stay idle for a few more days.
Even if he doesn't wait for a few more days, he won't be able to tell who is more sincere.
Now he wants to shoot a short film first, to be precise, it is an advertisement for his father.
Their business sells tableware, ranging from pots and pans to large kitchen sets.
This kind of small business does not need celebrity endorsement, but this is his own business, so Zhang Zhiyuan cannot ignore it.
It just so happened that he had a particularly interesting short film in his memory that could be properly processed and turned into an advertisement for a spoon.
The short film was originally called "The Spoon Killer" and told the story of a killer who used a spoon as a weapon and used the spoon to beat him, tirelessly hunting down a fat boy for 12 years, and finally beating him to death.
This kind of setting itself is full of humor and absurdity, but the short film can still be shot without being inconsistent or awkward at all, and it can even be self-explanatory.
This makes the story very interesting and funny.
If it was just purely funny, this short film might not be so famous.
In fact, this short film is a tragic story disguised as a comedy, with a profound metaphor.
The spoon killer represents all kinds of troubles in life. Those troubles are not fatal, but they can make people painful. Moreover, this kind of troubles are continuous in life, cannot be avoided, and will never stop.
In the end, we will all be tortured by these troubles until we are human, or even 'killed'.
The original drama was a simple short film, but Zhang Zhiyuan was able to change it into an advertisement without affecting the plot content.
He only needed to make slight modifications to the last scene, and the previous content did not need to be changed at all.
The last scene is that after the spoon killer has been beating for 12 years, the fat man is lying on the ground dying, and the spoon in the murderer's hand finally breaks. Then the killer unzips his clothes, revealing dozens of brand new spoons in his clothes.
When the fat man saw those spoons, his pitiful look of despair and helplessness made Zhang Zhiyuan laugh out loud.
This time he was going to modify it. After seeing so many spoons, the fat man asked, "Why do you keep hitting me with spoons?"
Then the spoon killer said: "I just want to tell you that our xx brand spoons are of very good quality. Are you interested in buying one?"
Then, the fat man vomited three liters of blood as if he had been stabbed through the intestines.
This change makes it feel more nonsensical and less rigorous.
However, the extra comedy can make up for this, and as long as the audience laughs, the short film is not considered a failure.
Smail quickly contacted the photographer and then completed the indoor part and the street part.
Next are some outdoor scenes, but it doesn't take much time. After all, this is just a ten-minute short film, and it doesn't need to be as sophisticated as a movie.
Before setting off for location shooting, Zhang Zhiyuan had to attend the team's championship parade.
After two days of preparation, the date for the championship parade has been set, which is June 25th.
The next day, Zhang Zhiyuan gathered with the team.
They will start from the Rockets Club, pass through the city of Houston, and then celebrate at a university.
He also has to perform a show, interact with fans and answer some questions.
Zhang Zhiyuan and others stood on the roof of the bus, and the streets were lined with fans.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan and others appearing, the fans went crazy and shouted their names and nicknames.
This made Zhang Zhiyuan a little worried, fearing that an excited fan would take out a machine gun and randomly kill a few people to celebrate.
This is Texas.
If this happened, Zhang Zhiyuan would not be surprised.
Zhang Zhiyuan waved to the fans, and the fans became even more excited.
The bus moved forward for a while, and Zhang Zhiyuan saw a few fans holding a huge banner with words asking him to stay.
Under the analysis of the media, many Rockets fans also guessed that Zhang Zhiyuan was leaving.
"Seeing Wu Zhang, this is the voice of the fans."
Alston said.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and was speechless.
"It's good to stay."
Yao Ming said.
"Aren't you afraid that if I stay, I will take away your position as the boss?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked with a smile.
"It's yours anytime you want it."
Yao Ming said.
"Let's forget it. If you don't resist, it won't be interesting for me to snatch you."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Oh, are you planning to go to the Lakers or Cavaliers? Is it the Spurs or the Mavericks?"
The boss position of these teams is more difficult to grab. According to Zhang Zhiyuan, he should be very interested.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not answer directly, but sighed: "It will be great when our country can have so many idle people."
He remembered that many domestic factories at this time worked for 12 hours.
But these Americans can wander the streets.
In comparison, Chinese people live too tiredly.
"There will be."
Yao Ming said.
It took more than three hours for the group of people to cross the street slowly.
After arriving at the campus, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the campus square.
The untalented players chose to interact with the fans, while Zhang Zhiyuan took the opportunity to sing a newly written English song.
"happy".
The original song was released in 2013 and is an episode of Despicable Me 2, sung by Pharrell.
The song has been the best-selling song for more than ten weeks, and Pharrell even won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance and Best Music Video for this song.
It also won the Oscar for Best Original Song.
In short, this is a very classic and very high-level work. When Zhang Zhiyuan took it out at this time, it was a bit appropriate for the occasion.
"it might seem crazy what i'm about to say."
"sunshine she's here, you can take away."
...
Zhang Zhiyuan once again released a new song, and the fans at the scene went crazy again and started to squirm.
"What a pity."
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan's appeal and popularity, Mo Lei felt heartbroken.
He couldn't keep such a money tree.
If he didn't break the law, he really wanted to kill Zhang Zhiyuan with one shot. He couldn't let others get what he couldn't get.
He was even worried that some Rockets fans would rebel after Zhang Zhiyuan left.
This is entirely possible. Football fans in Europe are generally club fans, but in the NBA, superstars often have more appeal than the team.
"Oh, Shet, this guy is cheating. He wins the championship and sings, so how can other players compete with him for fans? It's not fair."
Barkley, who was live broadcasting the championship parade, complained.
Although other players also write songs and sing, their skills are not as good as Zhang Zhiyuan's.
In this way, Zhang Zhiyuan has really taken advantage of him in competing for fans.
"Hahaha......"
Smith laughed.
After the happy song was sung, the fans were still unsatisfied.
There is no other way, Zhang Zhiyuan does another shoulder-shaking dance.
"Farke, I forgot that he can dance, that's too much."
Buckley.
Smith continued to laugh.
After the performance, Zhang Zhiyuan sat in front of the stage and interacted with the fans, mainly answering some fans' questions.
"Zhang, I am your fan, and I want to ask, do you have a girlfriend now?"
A black girl stood up and asked.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't expect that the first question was about gossip. He could only reply: "Not yet. Seeing that you are so concerned about my emotional life, I will try to find one in the summer."
"What type do you like and what do you think of me?"
The black girl continued to ask.
The people around him immediately booed, booing that this black girl was overestimating her abilities.
Zhang Zhiyuan covered his face, he really couldn't understand this kind of "confidence" of Americans.
Although I am crazy, I am still self-aware.
This nigger...
Zhang Zhiyuan could only lie: "You are very good, but not suitable for me. I can introduce you to O'Neal. As for myself,
I still hope to find someone a little younger."
Everyone laughed.
Next fan: "Zhang, it is said on the Internet that you will leave the team. Is this true?"
This is an unavoidable question. Zhang Zhiyuan was prepared for it. He said: "Yes, I am a prodigal son and do not like a static life. I am very happy in Houston, but next I want to find more
Fresh and exciting.”
This was the first time Zhang Zhiyuan admitted in public that he would leave the team. When the fans heard the confirmed news, they fell into silence for a while.
Zhang Zhiyuan's reasons are very good. This is an attitude towards life. You don't have to understand it, but you must respect it.
"But do you have the heart to leave behind so many fans who love you?"
the fan asked.
"How could I give up? I will go back to Houston twice every season. You can also see my games on TV and hear my songs."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
Having said that, fans should not dwell on this issue anymore, otherwise the happy atmosphere of the conference will be ruined.
Of course, what's more important is that they can't find any reason to ask Zhang Zhiyuan to stay.
Zhang Zhiyuan is not a rookie trained by the Rockets. Zhang Zhiyuan does not receive a high salary from the Rockets, and he even brought a championship to the Rockets.
He doesn't owe the Rockets anything, but the Rockets owe him a huge favor.
"Zhang, someone saw that you are currently filming a movie. Can you tell us about it? When will it be released? I'm looking forward to it."
the fans asked.
"It's not a movie, it's a short film of about ten minutes. It will be finished in a few days. I will upload it directly to the Internet so that everyone can watch it for free."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
After answering a few questions and giving fans a wave of signature benefits, the event was considered complete.
The championship parade was a success, but Zhang Zhiyuan announced that he would leave the team, and the joy of Rockets fans also decreased a bit.
Without Zhang Zhiyuan, can we still defend the title next season? Who can we rely on to defend the title, Tracy McGrady?
Facts have proven that the team played better without McGrady. If McGrady was not injured, they would definitely not be able to beat the Spurs.
Fans of other teams took the opportunity to gloat and 'congratulate' Rockets fans for losing a star.
At the end of the season, the league's theme has turned to trade and transfers.
Where will Ray Allen go, will Garnett leave the team, can Kobe get help...
These are hot topics discussed by fans.
Where Zhang Zhiyuan's next family will be is the hottest topic at the moment.
It's a pity that the media didn't receive any news because Zhang Zhiyuan went to shoot a short film.
The media can only imagine and fabricate things out of thin air.
Today it is rumored online that Zhang Zhiyuan will go to the Bobcats to succeed Jordan. Tomorrow it will be rumored online that Zhang Zhiyuan will go to the Knicks because New York is a big city and can increase business value.
The most outrageous thing is that Zhang Zhiyuan will go to the Cavaliers and join forces with James.
Unfortunately, these rumors could not last more than a day.
Zhang Zhiyuan's next home has not yet been found, but another star's next home has been determined first.
The Celtics and the SuperSonics completed a one-for-three deal. The SuperSonics sent star Ray Allen and acquired Szczerbiak, Delonte West, and No. 5 in 2007 from the Celtics.
sign.
Both parties benefited from this deal. The Celtics got a first-line star who averaged 26.4 points per game last season and a three-point marksman.
The Sonics got two useful role players and a valuable No. 5 pick.
Barkley, Garnett, Carter, Wade, Pippen, and Ray Allen himself were all selected by the team with the No. 5 pick.
If they can draft Barkley II, the Sonics will make a huge profit.
Of course, if you choose Nick Rhodes, you will have no choice but to hide in the toilet and cry.
On the 29th, the NBA draft officially begins.
Zhang Zhiyuan had just finished shooting the short film that day. During his break, he simply turned on the TV and watched the talent show.
He wanted to see how much change his butterfly could cause.
The Portland Trail Blazers, holding the No. 1 pick, happily selected Oden, the cornerstone of the team. In order to establish Oden's core status, they have put Randolph on the shelf.
Seeing the happy smiling face of the Blazers manager, the managers of other teams can only envy and hate, fearing that Oden will become the next Yao Ming and James.
Then it was the Sonics' turn and they selected Kevin Durant.
Although the Warriors were champions before Durant came and were still champions after Durant left, he is really not dispensable.
At least in Zhang Zhiyuan's opinion, the best player in this class is Shubao Du.
Durant happily went on stage to receive his hat. He probably had no idea how bumpy his future would be, how long he would have to be guarded by Westbrook, how many strong teams he would have to join, and how many fans he would have to quarrel with.
The Hawks selected Al Horford with the third overall pick.
Although they are desperately chasing Zhang Zhiyuan, they know it in their hearts and know that there is little hope, so they choose according to their own needs.
With Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, and Al Horford together, this Hawks has a bright future and can finally go to the playoffs and be bullied by James.
In the past, they were not even qualified to be bullied.
The Grizzlies selected Mike Conley with the fourth overall pick.
They actually considered Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian's position overlapped with Gasol's, so after thinking about it they chose to give up.
You can't give away Gasol for Yi Jianlian. If Yi Jianlian fails to play, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the league?
The SuperSonics gave up Yi Jianlian and chose Jeff Green for the same reason.
Like history, Yi Jianlian fell to sixth place and was happily selected by the Bucks.
"Congratulations to Arab League, the sixth pick is not low."
Zhang Lili said.
However, Chinese fans are not very satisfied.
"Damn, Milwaukee, never heard of that shit."
"A small, remote city is roughly equivalent to Tieling in our country."
"The Bucks have super scorer Michael Reed, so I'm afraid Alian won't be the core of the team."
...
Chinese fans have begun to drift away and want big cities and core status at every turn.
Some of the faces that followed were not very familiar to Zhang Zhiyuan.
The Wizards selected Nick Young with the 16th pick.
Zhang Zhiyuan knew this. He also knew that Arenas had prepared a gift for the Wizards, a green hat. He didn't know if Nick Young would like it.
It's interesting to think about it.
With No. 26, the Rockets selected Brooks.
At No. 40, the Lakers selected Sun Yue.
Chinese fans are excited again. As a result, four Chinese people will appear in the NBA again.
No. 48, the Lakers selected Marc Gasol.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhiyuan turned off the TV. There was no need to pay attention to the rest. Anyway, he didn't know or heard of them.
After filming the short film, Zhang Zhiyuan began to formally contact other teams.
The first person he met was Suns manager and future Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
Not long after Kerr finished his commentary job, he became the general manager of the Suns.
Dealing with Zhang Zhiyuan is his first and most important task after taking office.
"Zhang, Nash is the best player to match you. I have commented on many of your games, and I noticed that your off-ball ability is the best in the league. In the Suns, you don't have to worry about not catching the ball. Here are the best players in the league."
The passer..."
Cole analyzed.
What he said made Zhang Zhiyuan a little tempted. If he joins the Suns, he will be the next champion.
With him and Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion, the starting firepower can surpass other teams.
Moreover, there are bench gangsters like Barbosa, Diaw, and Laga Bell in the team. No team's lineup can compete with it.
The only disadvantage of this lineup is that it is expensive. The Suns owner will definitely have to pay a lot of luxury tax, but this has nothing to do with Zhang Zhiyuan.
"I feel a little bad."
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Cole asked.
"I, the key man, plus two-time MVP Steve, plus the league's top three center Amare, the All-Star Marion who is both offensive and defensive, the best sixth man Barbosa, the defensive champion Laga Bell, all-around
Magician Diaw. Oh my God, there is no match for this lineup. It would be boring to win the championship too easily."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
These words made Cole's mouth open and he was speechless for a long time.
He predicted several possibilities for Zhang Zhiyuan's refusal, but he never expected that Zhang Zhiyuan's reason would be this.
Is this really a reason? Which player would find it too easy to win the championship?
This is crazy...
Cole even suspected that Zhang Zhiyuan was kidding him.
Cole asked: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, although I also like to win the championship, I still hope that the process of winning the championship will be a little difficult. The Suns were originally a championship team, but they were just a little lucky last season. My going to the Suns is just the icing on the cake, not a help in the snow, and my value will not be maximized.
reflect."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
If he goes to the Suns and wins the championship, I'm afraid those anti-fans will also ridicule him for only embracing the strong teams.
What's more, he will still mock Garnett for joining forces next season. If he goes to the Suns, I'm afraid he won't be qualified to mock Garnett, which will lose a huge amount of fun.
"this......."
For a moment, Cole was speechless.
He can't deliberately send Nash or Stoudemire away in order to increase the difficulty. Isn't that a disease? Moreover, if he doesn't win the championship after sending them away, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world?
"Zhang, I hope you will think more about it. I admire your challenging spirit, but NBA championships are really not that easy to win. There is nothing wrong with joining the Suns and winning the championship reliably."
Cole said tiredly.
I’ve seen players who complain about a poor lineup, but I’ve never seen stars who complain about a good lineup. Sorry.
"Okay, I'll think about it again."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
What he wants to go to most is the Lakers, because the Lakers had a poor record last season, and going to the Lakers to win the championship would be a timely help.
Moreover, it would be very fun to steal Kobe's FMVP in the finals. In the future, Kobe will be able to ridicule Kobe for winning all his championships.
The evidence is that Kobe doesn't have an FMVP.
Los Angeles has Hollywood, with many actresses and fun...
But if Kobe doesn't come to beg him, he will have no choice but to go to the Suns. In short, he will definitely not take the initiative to go to the Lakers. He is such an arrogant person.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan said he would consider it, Cole knew that the hope was slim.
If you are really interested in the Suns, you should at least ask about the contract.
But Cole showed no regrets and just asked Zhang Zhiyuan to contact him at any time.
Zhang Zhiyuan's every move was followed by the media, and soon his meeting with Cole was leaked out.
[Shocked, Zhang and the Suns manager met and discussed for an hour. Zhang is very likely to join the Suns. 】
As soon as the news came out, Suns fans were immediately excited.
Their team has never won a championship, and their desire for a championship is extremely strong.
And the past few years have also proved that relying on Nash and Stoudemire is not enough. With the addition of Zhang Zhiyuan, this championship is almost guaranteed.
"Welcome to Phoenix."
Suns fans have already welcomed online in advance.
The other fans were naturally unhappy when they saw this and started making sarcastic remarks.
"We only talked for an hour, and it's obvious that we haven't reached an agreement."
"There is no official announcement from Taiyang, so he must have been rejected, hahaha."
"How can Zhang go to Phoenix? Will Nash give up his position as the team leader?"
...
As soon as the news came out, those reporters immediately tried to interview Zhang Zhiyuan or Cole to get the exact answer.
They failed to find Zhang Zhiyuan, but they caught Steve Kerr.
"Steve, is it true that you met with Zhang?"
the reporter asked.
"Yes, we had a very friendly conversation."
Cole said.
"Is that one sure that he will go to the Suns?"
the reporter asked.
"It's very possible that we have highly consistent views in some places."
Cole said.
However, these words could not fool the reporters. They found a flaw in Cole's words. Then they asked: "That means there are differences in some places, right?"
Cole was a little helpless and could only nod and admit.
"Where is it? Why did Zhang reject you?"
the reporter asked.
Cole actually doesn't need to answer this kind of question.
But Cole had just taken over as general manager and was a little inexperienced, so he didn't take it too seriously.
So, he answered truthfully: "Zhang believed that after he joined the Suns, the combination of him, Nash, and Amare was too invincible, and the championship would be too easy and lack of challenge."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suspected that they had been tricked by Cole.
How could there be such a reason?
However, some reporters feel that this is something Zhang Zhiyuan can say, and Zhang Zhiyuan is labeled as arrogant.
Reporters are just watching the excitement and don't take it too seriously, so they immediately add fuel to the fire on the Internet.
[Zhang’s reasons for rejecting Taeyang are exposed.]
It is reported that the Suns failed to recruit Zhang because Zhang Zhiyuan thought Nash and Amare were too strong. Zhang said that after he went to the Suns, it would be the finale of the NBA, and other teams would not be able to play at all, and the championship would be too easy.
So, Zhang refused, he wanted more challenges.
Honestly, it's cool and I like his personality.
"It's so cool, this is Zhang."
"I believed the news. This is what Zhang Cai said."
"Stars who complain about not having good teammates should be ashamed."
Zhang Zhiyuan's fans did not miss this opportunity to show off.
[The most bizarre reason for rejection in history.]
I'm afraid Steve Kerr never thought that even a good hand would become trouble. I think he could send away two stars first and trade two bad contracts to the team. This would create a challenge, and Zhang would not have any.
Reasons for rejection...
"You are such a clever little kid."
"This is a great idea. Let's send Nash and Stoudemire away first. We, the Knicks, are willing to reluctantly take over."
"What happens if the deal is done and then Zhang signs with another team?"
"Hahaha....."
Fans of other teams were very happy and gave bad advice to the Suns.
[Good news for weak teams, Zhang has made it clear that he will not go to strong teams.]
Judging from Zhang's rejection of the Suns, Zhang's next stop will definitely be a weak team. This is great news for those teams outside the playoffs.
Grizzlies, Eagles, SuperSonics, Knicks...
What are you waiting for?
"Come to the Knicks. Although I am a Knicks fan, I also admit that we are a bad team now."
"The Knicks still have 30 wins, come to Milwaukee, we are the real bad team."
"Who dares to be worse than us? Who dares to be worse than us? Our Grizzlies were last in the league last season."
These speeches make people laugh bitterly. When has it become something to be proud of even if you are bad?
What's even more outrageous is that there are still people competing against each other and trying to prove that their own team is worse. This is simply an anecdote for the ages.
