Harper's article was published in the newspaper early the next morning and was also posted on his blog. However, this article did not cause a great response like the previous articles. Instead, it attracted unanimous criticism.
Those experts criticized this article from all aspects and refuted Harper thoroughly. However, although their language was sharp, they could not tell where Harper was wrong. They could only say that Harper made unreasonable comments about Wen Hao.
Fans were very unhappy when they saw that this article was unfavorable to Wen Hao. Coupled with the experts fanning the flames, many fans left messages on Harper's blog and even made personal attacks.
All this made Harper extremely angry, but he could do nothing. People have mouths on their bodies, and they can say whatever they want. Is it possible to sew those people's mouths shut?
Harper sat in the office, propped his chin on his hand, and looked at the messages. He thought: One day, you will understand that what I said is right...
Wen Hao naturally saw the article, but he didn't take it seriously. He balled up the newspaper and threw it into the wastebasket. He said: "I have a point guard's heart. I can compete with the main point guards just by passing the ball."
If we are shoulder to shoulder, why do we need to score?”
After simply eating breakfast, Wen Hao walked to the training hall without taking the article to heart. When he arrived at the training hall, he still started to complete his daily tasks. The tasks now are getting more and more difficult. His task today is
: 1 push-up, 1 sit-up, 8 50kg bench press...
All these tasks are % more intensive than in the past. And after the original training is completed, the point guard's heart will give several additional tasks. Today's extra task is the training of changing direction of dribbling in front of the body.
0 times, 0 times of dribbling under the hip, and 0 times of dribbling from left to right.
When other teammates except No. 11 and Jeremy Lin had not arrived, Wen Hao had already spent more than two hours completing other training. After a short rest, he began the training of dribbling and changing directions.
No. 11 watched Wen Hao's change of direction while training, with a little admiration in his eyes, and said: "Wen Hao, your change of direction is really smooth. Such a change of direction makes people feel comfortable."
Jeremy Lin, who was born as a point guard, said intermittently while doing strength exercises: "Yeah... your change of direction... is very powerful... why don't you use it on the court...?"
Wen Hao looked at No. 11 and Jeremy Lin, but without stopping his hands at all, he replied: "My speed is not fast. Many times, even if I change direction and pass the opponent, I will be caught up by the opponent. It is a waste of effort, so it is better not to use it."
.”
Jeremy Lin wondered: "Then what's the use of doing these exercises?"
No. 11 said: "Even if your speed is slow, you can still practice shooting. Otherwise, if you only pass the ball on the court, you will be easily restricted."
Wen Hao didn't care, smiled slightly, and said: "It's enough for me to just pass the ball. My existence is to make my teammates better."
No. 11 was silent. He looked at Wen Hao with a trace of worry in his eyes. What people fear most is complacency, and Wen Hao seemed to be somewhat complacent now. This is very dangerous.
In fact, No. 11 also understands that Wen Hao has been wandering on the edge of the NBA, unable to even hit the ball. Now he suddenly performed so well, which made him lose his way, and some complacency is understandable. However, if it is just
Being complacent is not dangerous, but being so complacent that you cannot listen to advice is the real danger. And now Wen Hao's situation seems to be developing into a real danger.
But No. 11 can't explain to Wen Hao now that he has been there. Just by the words he just said, he knows that Wen Hao can no longer listen to advice. It seems that only after Wen Hao has tasted the pain, and then reminds him, then
Only then might he listen.
Thinking of this, No. 11 sighed slightly and continued his training.
In a hotel in Houston, two men in suits and ties were discussing something.
The yellow-haired middle-aged man in his forties asked the young man in front of him: "Do you think Wen can be our spokesperson?"
"Yes," the young man said impatiently, "Absolutely. Our main spirit in recent years is perseverance, and Chinese Language's experience in the past two years can perfectly interpret the word perseverance. For basketball, for dreams,
No matter how hard it was, he never gave up. So he can definitely be our spokesperson."
"Oh..." the middle-aged man thought for a moment, "but our Nike spokespersons have always been top-notch. Not to mention anything else, in terms of basketball alone, we have Jordan, Kobe, and James, all of whom are top-notch basketball players.
Are you making sure he becomes the best?"
The young man's eyes flickered, but he still couldn't wait to say: "Of course, his passing talent and his basketball IQ are both top-notch. I think he will definitely become a player like Kobe James, and he will definitely become our best player."
The kind of player you expect."
"I have watched his games, and his assists are indeed very good, which can be said to be top-notch. But his way of playing is too simple. To put it simply, he can't score. In these games, the most
He only scored 5 points. You also know how strong the NBA is against surname. He has attracted the attention of other teams in the past few games, and it is very likely that he has already prepared a defense against surname. His single style of play,
It's very easy for him to be limited by his limitations. If he can't break through these limitations, he won't be able to become a top player."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man was speechless for a moment. He knew best what Wen Hao's playing style was like, but if Wen Hao could not develop other offensive methods, then he would indeed not be able to become a top player. Thinking of this, the young man fell silent
.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a comforting look and said: "But you don't have to worry, we will wait and see if he can break through these restrictions. If he can really break through, it means that he has the ability to become a top player.
His potential. In that case, we will have a competition for endorsement candidates in a month and invite him to participate."
When the young man heard this, he quickly raised his head and said, "Thank you, thank you very much. I will contact you then."
At the same time, the Rockets are rushing to another away game. They have three consecutive away games, and among these three games, there is also a tough battle against the Nuggets.
On the plane, Wen Hao wore an eye mask and fell asleep peacefully. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
McHale inadvertently saw Wen Hao's smile and was slightly startled. Then he looked at Wen Hao with some concern. This Chinese seemed to have problems that many rookies would have.
