It is the NBA offseason now, so there are only two or three kittens in the Lakers team, and except for some administrative staff, no players have been seen.
But it doesn't matter. In the current Lakers team, there are no players that Wu Jianye particularly likes. The two players he likes will not come to the Lakers until next year!
One is Kobe Bryant at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, and the other is O'Neal, the most dominant center in NBA history!
In fact, the team had a player that Wu Jianye liked very much last year, Penny Hardaway. Wu Jianye originally suggested that the Lakers sign Penny Hardaway, and Jerry West did so. Unfortunately,
Penny Hardaway and team general manager Jerry West couldn't pee in the same pot. After choosing one of the two, the Lakers finally traded Penny Hardaway to the Magic last year.
After Wu Jianye brought Wang Zhizhi to the Lakers, Jerry West was already waiting for Wang Zhizhi here. Unlike the scene that was widely reported in China, Wang Zhizhi's joining the Lakers did not cause any kind of sensation in Los Angeles. This is different from the scene that was widely reported in China.
It’s related to Wang Zhizhi’s fame. At this time, Wang Zhizhi’s best performance in the international arena was just his performance in this year’s Youth Championship.
In another time and space, Wang Zhizhi would have to wait until next year's Olympics to truly become famous. At next year's Olympics, Wang Zhizhi slapped the admiral, making him instantly famous. In fact, by that time, Wang Zhizhi had already attracted the attention of American basketball.
But at that time it was not an NBA team, but an American university. A total of six universities sent invitations to Wang Zhizhi!
Unfortunately, in another time and space, Wang Zhizhi's situation would not have allowed him to join the NCAA.
Such an obvious gap actually made Wang Zhizhi feel relaxed, but while feeling relaxed, he was inevitably a little disappointed!
This is also the nature of young people. For Wang Zhizhi, his character does not like to be paid attention to by so many people, but at the same time, as a young man, he has a sense of expectation to surprise everyone when he debuts.
The signing with Wang Zhizhi went very smoothly. Both parties signed their names in duplicate documents in Jerry West's office, and Wang Zhizhi was considered a member of the Lakers!
"Welcome to the Lakers!" Jerry West smiled and shook hands with Wang Zhizhi!
Wang Zhizhi also quickly shook hands with Jerry West.
Jerry West then said to Wang Zhizhi: "According to Director Wu's opinion, the team has prepared nutrition, physical fitness, technical and other trainers for you. In the days before the start of the new season, you have to work hard
I will train with them and strive to meet the requirements for playing before the start of the game!"
Wang Zhizhi nodded again.
In fact, these trainers have also been on vacation, but because of Wang Zhizhi, everyone is back to work overtime.
Wang Zhizhi was also taken to the training ground to meet with the trainers, while Wu Jianye was retained by Jerry West. Jerry West had an important matter to discuss with Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, the team has a major plan for next year, and I hope to get your permission!" Jerry West said seriously.
Wu Jianye sat there and said with a smile: "You are talking about wanting to sign O'Neal, who will be free agency next year, right?"
After the 1995-96 season, O'Neal's contract with the Magic expires, which will definitely cause a bloody storm in the league's free agent market.
Now many teams are eyeing O'Neal with eager eyes, and so is Jerry West.
What Jerry West didn't expect was that Wu Jianye also knew about this matter. Jerry West's life has been very comfortable in the past two years. As the big boss of the team, Wu Jianye basically
He never interfered in the management and operation of the team. Even when he had a conflict with Penny Hardway, Wu Jianye's designated player last year, Wu Jianye unswervingly stood on his side. This made Jerry West
Even more happy.
At one point, Jerry West even thought the Lakers were a toy of Wu Jianye, and he didn't take the Lakers seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, when he mentioned his big plan for next year today, Wu Jianye would think of O'Neal!
"Yes, it's O'Neal of the Magic. Director Wu, you have to believe me. O'Neal is definitely a historical center. I believe he can lead the team back to where the Lakers should be!" Jerry West said with certainty.
said.
Where should the Lakers be?
Of course he is the overall champion!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course, I trust your vision very much Jerry, so just go ahead and do this with confidence!"
Jerry West said: "But if you want to sign O'Neal, you have to give a big contract..."
In order to get O'Neal, the Lakers will offer O'Neal a sky-high seven-year contract of 120 million next year...
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Of course I know this. As I said before, I believe you. You can do this with confidence and boldness!"
Now that he knows O'Neal's future achievements, Wu Jianye is naturally willing to sell Jerry West a favor!
There is actually no need to go into too much detail about Jerry West’s achievements. The man with the NBA logo formed the foundation of the Lakers dynasty when he was the general manager of the Lakers. After the Lakers dynasty, he went to the Grizzlies as the general manager.
Turned the Grizzlies from a bad team into a playoff team.
Then because of the inaction of the owner of the Grizzlies, he became frustrated and went to the Warriors to serve as a team consultant. As a result, he accidentally created a Warriors dynasty!
Ended up going to the Clippers...
For such a person with outstanding military exploits, Wu Jianye would naturally give himself full respect.
Hearing that Wu Jianye agreed with his suggestion and did not put forward any opinions, Jerry West became even more happy!
Mountains and Flowing Waters describes Jerry West's mood at this time.
"Director Wu, don't worry. With what you said, I will definitely be able to take down O'Neal!" Jerry West said seriously.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Well, I'll leave everything to Jerry!"
At this time, Jerry West looked through the window of his office and saw Wang Zhizhi who was familiar with the situation outside. He thought for a while and said: "Director Wu, although Wang played as a center when he was in China, I hope that he will
I can switch to power forward, and I am confident that I will bring O'Neal to the Lakers next year. At that time, the Lakers will have O'Neal in the inside and they will not need Wang inside, so his future work should be to assist O'Neal and practice hard on his own.
It’s best if you can practice long-range shooting in mid-range shooting!”
In fact, at the beginning, Jerry West was not very concerned about Wang Zhizhi's arrival. In his opinion, Wang Zhizhi was too thin and had poor fighting ability. However, because Wu Jianye sent it here in person, Jerry West
Only then did Rivest show his attention.
However, as Wu Jianye coincided with him and recognized him on the O'Neal incident, Jerry West also had an idea.
So when he saw Wang Zhizhi again, he immediately went through the scout's report about Wang Zhizhi in his mind, and then based on the team's situation, he instantly figured out the most suitable development path for Wang Zhizhi!
After Wu Jianye heard this, he nodded quickly. To be honest, Wu Jianye's understanding of the NBA was limited to watching it, knowing some gossip, or making some arrogant remarks on the Internet, just like many fans in later generations.
Yes, I always think that I am a professional, but in fact I haven’t even scratched the surface!
Fortunately, Wu Jianye's more than ten years of experience have taught him that it is best to leave professional matters to professionals. You can talk nonsense, but if you take your words seriously,
Then whoever is really a fool!
I just know that if Wang Zhizhi can enter the NBA early and receive NBA-intensity training, his achievements will definitely be better than those in another time and space, but how to train and how to play, Wu Jianye has no idea.
Now when I heard Jerry West say this, I realized that I was just thinking that if Jerry West hadn't reminded me like this now, Wang Zhizhi might have been delayed due to wrong training methods!
"Okay, I trust you in this regard, just watch and figure it out!" Wu Jianye said secretly with a sigh of relief.
Jerry West smiled and said: "Well, don't worry, Director Wu. I've seen Wang's scouting report. If he accepts systematic training and then tempers himself in the game, I believe he will definitely become a star in the future."
!”
Wu Jianye nodded again.
Jerry West then reported the specific situation of the team to Wu Jianye, and it was not until nearly noon that the conversation ended today.
When Wu Jianye walked out of the team's general manager's office, he came to the training ground. He looked at Wang Zhizhi who was sweating and did not interrupt his training. Instead, he sat next to Ren Huanzhen and his wife and asked: "You two,
How about it, are you still used to it here?"
Ren Huanzhen said with a smile: "It's okay. Only after I came here did I realize that the gap between our country's basketball level and other people's is all-round. Some of their training techniques and techniques just now are things we have never seen in China before."
of!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "There is no way to do this, but I believe that this gap will be slowly made up!"
Ren Huanzhen nodded.
Wu Jianye said nothing more. They said such a gap easily, but Wu Jianye knew that it would be almost impossible to make up for this gap without a few decades!
After a while, Wu Jianye waved and called Wang Zhizhi over after training, and warned: "From now on, you can come here to train. I will leave first if I have something to do. If I encounter any problems here,
Just tell Mayo and he will help you solve it!"
Wang Zhizhi nodded and said excitedly: "Well, thank you, Director Wu!"
Wang Zhizhi, who had just started to be exposed to this kind of training, almost felt that everything was new and he had almost inexhaustible strength in his body.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It is good to train hard, but you must also pay attention to your body. Of course, you must also pay attention to your diet from today on. I heard that the team's nutritional trainer has formulated a scientific plan for you.
Is your meal on the food list?"
Wang Zhizhi nodded, not yet realizing what this customized food chart meant to him. Feeling that everything was very fresh, he said: "Well, I will definitely eat according to the food chart prepared by the nutritionist!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said nothing more.
After getting up and saying goodbye to them, Wu Jianye left the Lakers.
After leaving the Lakers, Wu Jianye returned to Beverly Hills Manor. By this time, Zhu Xian and others were already waiting for him to have lunch!
"I have already talked with Xinxin. Although Xinxin seems to have no objection to attending Luoshi Academy, I can tell that she still doesn't want to go to the school!"
After lunch, Li Xiuming preached to Wu Jianye alone.
Wu Jianye asked: "What do you think?"
Li Xiu Ming said: "I think it's better to wait for another two years, and then send Xinxin there when she is older!"
Regarding his daughter, Li Xiuming was naturally very reluctant to be separated from her!
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, you can make the decision yourself!"
Li Xiuming smiled.
After the two of them finished chatting, Wu Jianye came to the garden and saw Wu Luoxin sitting by the swimming pool, playing in the water with bare feet!
"Xinxin, what's going on? Who made our Xinxin unhappy?"
Wu Jianye laughed.
When Wu Luoxin saw Wu Jianye, he pursed his lips in grievance and said, "Dad, don't you like Xinxin anymore?"
Wu Jianye was stunned and immediately thought that Wu Luoxin was unhappy about going to Luoshi Academy!
"Why wouldn't dad like Xinxin? Xinxin is daddy's most precious treasure!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Wu Luoxin raised his neck and said, "But mother said that father wants Xinxin to go to school far away!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Dad wants Xinxin to go to school somewhere because that is the best school. Dad wants Xinxin to receive the best education!"
Wu Luoxin nodded in understanding, and said with his own understanding: "Dad, do you want to give Xinxin the best thing?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Of course, Xinxin is my father's little princess, so naturally I want to give Xinxin the best things!"
After some coaxing, Wu Luoxin was finally coaxed, and soon she and Wu Jianye were playing happily together.
Li Xiuming, who was standing not far away, looked at all this with a smile in his eyes.
"Where are the brother and sister?" Wu Jianye looked around and saw Wu Nianyi and Liu Yifei, and asked curiously.
When Wu Nianyi and Liu Yifei were mentioned, the smile on Wu Luoxin's face became even bigger.
"The two of them are doing homework in the room, and Aunt Zhu is so fierce at this time!" Wu Luoxin said with lingering fear.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment about Zhu Hao's appearance when he was watching Wu Nianyi doing his homework, and decisively gave up the idea of going in.
"Dad looks a little scared too!" Wu Luoxin said a little bit sarcastically.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "How about you go back to China with your father? That way you can go to school with your brothers and sisters!"
