When Wang Zhizhi saw Wu Jianye, he was also a little surprised. Unlike Captain Kuang, Wang Zhizhi knew Wu Jianye better. After all, Wang Zhizhi was only 18 years old at this time. To be precise, he was still a teenager. He was not familiar with things in the entertainment industry.
More clearly.
"Team Kuang, Director Wu!"
Wang Zhizhi said hello shyly.
Captain Kuang looked at Wang Zhizhi and sighed in his heart, but he still said: "Dazhi, Director Wu came here specially for you this time!"
Wang Zhizhi didn't understand why and said: "What are you doing for me? I can't film either?"
At first thought, Wang Zhizhi thought that Wu Jianye wanted to act with him. After all, his impression of Wu Jianye was just that of a director!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Even if you want to act, I don't agree with it. I have brought you here for other reasons."
Wang Zhizhi became more and more confused. He didn't know what else Wu Jianye could do to him.
But soon, his confusion turned into a surprise, and Wu Jianye told Wang Zhizhi the reason for his visit.
"You said that you are the owner of the Lakers, and you want to invite me to join the Lakers?" Wang Zhizhi looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, with the same expression as Captain Kuang when he just found out that Wu Jianye was the owner of the Lakers, but then he
It was different. Team Kuang was confused after being surprised, but Wang Zhizhi was surprised!
The attraction of NBA to a basketball player is the same as the attraction of Oscar to movie actors, especially Wu Jianye, the owner of the team, personally appeared.
It is equivalent to the Oscar chairman personally inviting a new actor to participate in the Oscars.
"Yes, I have watched your games these days and I am very satisfied with your performance, so I want to invite you to join the Lakers. However, because the registration for the NBA draft has ended, I can only take the free agent route!" Wu Jian
Preaching at night.
This year's NBA draft has ended. The Golden State Warriors got the No. 1 pick. They selected Joe Smith, who graduated from the University of Maryland, but they also perfectly missed the Wolf King Garnett.
The history of the NBA has not changed. Garnett, a high school student, decided to skip college and join the NBA directly. Then with his extraordinary talent, he was signed by the Timberwolves with the No. 5 pick.
By the way, a little gossip, Garnett skipped college and joined the NBA directly not because he was absolutely confident in himself, but because his academic performance was not up to standard and he simply could not meet the college entrance standards. He had no choice but to join
This year’s draft!
A complete scumbag!
In any case, this year's draft has ended. As Wu Jianye said, if the Lakers want to sign Wang Zhizhi, they must not take the draft route!
"No problem, I really hope to join the Lakers!" Wang Zhizhi said excitedly, without even seeing the wink from Team Kuang.
"Ahem!" Team Kuang saw Wang Zhizhi agreeing so happily and had no choice but to say: "Dazhi, we still hope that you can train in China for a while. After all, you are still young and you don't want to go to the NBA.
You must be able to adapt to the intensity of the confrontation there. If you get injured, it will have a big impact on your future!"
Wu Jianye stood aside and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Captain Kuang. Since I recruited Dazhi, I will naturally be responsible for him. There will be specialized physical and technical coaches to help him. And
In my opinion, 18 is just the right age and the fastest age to learn things. If Da Zhi can join the Lakers, although his playing time cannot be guaranteed in the past few years, I can guarantee one thing, that is the team
I will be very responsible for him. As long as Da Zhi trains hard, playing time is not a problem!"
Captain Kuang looked at Wu Jianye with a wry smile and said, "Director Wu, this matter you know is not something we can decide on!"
Now Wang Zhizhi has obviously been attracted by the three words Lakers, and Team Kuang also knows that he must explain this matter clearly.
At this time, Wang Zhizhi also thought about his identity. He naturally wanted to join the Lakers, but his situation with the Bayi Team did not mean that he could leave if he wanted to.
Looking at Team Kuang's attitude now, it is obvious that the country does not want him to go to the NBA. Thinking of this, Wang Zhizhi's heart, which had just ascended to heaven, instantly dropped.
Wu Jianye smiled and asked: "Captain Kuang, let's put aside other factors and just tell us what you think about Wang Zhizhi joining the NBA?"
Captain Kuang knew that Wu Jianye had thrown the problem to him. Looking at Wang Zhizhi who was looking at him with a hopeful look on his face, Captain Kuang sighed and said: "If it is from a personal point of view, I naturally hope that Da Zhi can
Joining the NBA, but..."
Wu Jianye didn't wait for Captain Kuang to finish, and said directly: "Captain Kuang won't talk about the following matters. As for the matters regarding the Basketball Association and the Bayi Team, I will handle them."
"Director Wu, I know you cherish talents, but things in sports are still a little different from those in the entertainment industry!" Captain Kuang did not think Wu Jianye could solve this problem. He admitted that Wu Jianye had great experience in the entertainment industry.
Very powerful influence, but the sports circle and the entertainment circle are fundamentally two different circles.
What's more, Wang Zhizhi is still a player of the Bayi team, and this also involves the military side...
"Haha, whether it can be solved or not is my problem. As long as Captain Kuang supports it and Da Zhi is willing, other things will be easy to handle!" Wu Jianye didn't explain too much. Captain Kuang has always been in the sports circle.
Although he is now a member of the Sports Committee, Captain Kuang still doesn't know enough about his influence!
Wang Zhizhi was standing aside. Although he was a little uneasy when he heard that Wu Jianye wanted to help him solve this matter, he was still willing to believe in such a hope!
When Wu Jianye walked out of the hotel, Captain Kuang looked at the excited Wang Zhizhi. Although he couldn't bear to hit him, he still said: "Dazhi, although Director Wu said that he can solve it, this kind of thing is not
A director can solve it. I advise you not to have too much hope. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
Team Kuang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Wang Zhizhi's head, and his excited expression disappeared.
"Actually, the domestic CBA is already developing. If you play in China for a few more years, it won't be impossible for you to operate when you are older..."
Regarding Wu Jianye's performance today, Captain Kuang was actually a little dissatisfied. After all, he thought Wu Jianye did not have this ability, but now it has aroused Wang Zhizhi's heart. If things don't succeed by then, for
For a child who is only 18 years old, the blow is quite big!
Wang Zhizhi finally said with some complexity: "Let's take a look at Director Wu's ability first!"
The two masters and apprentices didn't say anything more and each returned to their own rooms.
Wang Zhizhi and Li Nan were in the same room. Li Nan was lying on the bed. When he saw Wang Zhizhi returning to the room with a complicated expression, he asked curiously: "What did Captain Kuang want to do with you? Why are you so distracted?"
Li Nan is not only Wang Zhizhi's teammate in the national team, but also a teammate in the Bayi team.
The relationship between the two has always been very good.
Wang Zhizhi did not hide what happened just now and told Li Nan everything.
After hearing this, Li Nan also looked surprised.
"You said Director Wu is the owner of the Lakers, and then you want to invite you to join the Lakers?" There was a hint of envy in the surprise.
Wang Zhizhi nodded and said, "Well, that's what Director Wu said!"
"Damn it, such a good thing, why are you unhappy? This is the Lakers, the team where Magic Johnson once played!" Li Nan said exaggeratedly.
Wang Zhizhi smiled bitterly and said: "If only things were so simple!"
Then Wang Zhizhi told Li Nan what happened!
After listening, Li Nan also fell into silence, and finally comforted: "Okay, don't think too much about this matter. Didn't Director Wu say that he will solve it? Let's see how he solves it, no matter what.
, let’s finish our own game first!”
Wang Zhizhi nodded.
Soon this matter was known to the entire team. The players' reactions were similar to Li Nan's, ranging from envy to surprise. No one thought that Wu Jianye, a well-known director in China, would be a member of the NBA Lakers.
Boss, what was even more unexpected was that Wu Jianye actually invited Wang Zhizhi to join the NBA!
As the team's head coach and team leaders, we are more worried and dissatisfied.
They know the domestic system better than these players, so they are worried that such a situation will cause Wang Zhizhi to be too involved in this matter in the next domestic games and delay his growth.
The dissatisfaction is naturally with Wu Jianye. Officially, because they understand the domestic system, they do not think Wu Jianye has the ability to bring Wang Zhizhi to the NBA. If not, Wu Jianye's move is likely to ruin the country.
Lose Wang Zhizhi’s future!
At this time, Wu Jianye left a bad impression in the minds of these team leaders and coaches.
But no matter what, this youth championship is over, and they still have to return home!
When the team returned to China, the Bayi team also knew about this matter. For this reason, the Bayi team specially talked to Wang Zhizhi, hoping that Wang Zhizhi could calm down and train and not be disturbed by external things. The most important thing is
Wang Zhizhi was vaguely reminded that he will be the core figure of the team together with Liu Yudong in the future, and he will not be allowed to leave the Bayi Team!
Wang Zhizhi's mood became worse and worse.
At this time, Li Nan, who was still living in the same dormitory with Wang Zhizhi in the Bayi Team, discovered that Wang Zhizhi had begun to pay attention to the gossip magazines in the entertainment industry. However, after thinking about it, Li Nan knew that Wang Zhizhi was not paying attention to these gossips, but reading
News about Wu Jianye.
He was reading when it was written in these magazines that Wu Jianye would return to China.
There is no airtight wall in this world, especially when Wu Jianye did not deliberately conceal it. Soon domestic sports magazines knew about Wu Jianye’s relationship with the Lakers. They also knew that the Lakers were planning to invite Wang Zhizhi to join.
things.
This news immediately caused a huge sensation in the country.
Because Wu Jianye himself is the focus of domestic news, and now the most famous director in the country is suddenly linked to sports, and then he is the boss of the NBA. It is difficult to avoid causing a sensation in this kind of news.
During this period, Tangting Culture and the Bayi Team became the focus of domestic news, and all magazines wanted to interview the two parties involved.
Wu Jianye and Wang Zhizhi!
Unfortunately, the news they received at Tangting Culture was that Director Wu is currently on vacation in Europe, and the time for his return has not yet been determined.
The Bayi team declined the reporter's interview in order to prevent Wang Zhizhi from receiving more exposure and pressure.
Neither party can be interviewed, but that doesn't mean these media magazines won't report it.
First of all, they guessed when Wu Jianye became the owner of the Lakers!
Some say that Wu Jianye bought the Lakers when he was making movies in Hollywood, while others say that Wu Jianye only bought it in the past two years.
Anyway, various stories are emerging one after another. That is to say, the domestic and NBA have not yet formally established live broadcast cooperation links. Otherwise, reporters stationed in North America at that time will definitely find out the previous investigations.
But it’s obvious that the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom can no longer be hidden!
The gossip that ordinary people are concerned about is when Wu Jianye became the owner of the Lakers, but some basketball professionals are concerned about whether Wang Zhizhi can enter the NBA.
Everyone is in this circle, so we naturally understand how difficult it would be for Wang Zhizhi to leave the Bayi Team.
But this does not prevent most players from envying Wang Zhizhi.
At the same time, some young players will also regard Wang Zhizhi as a target.
For example, in the dormitory of the Shanghai Sharks youth team, there is a young man who is over two meters tall and a young man who is not very tall, talking about this matter.
"I didn't expect Wang Zhizhi to be chosen by the Lakers!" the short young man said with envy.
As for the big man who was already over two meters tall, in addition to envy on his face, he also had a self-confidence that was not in line with his age. He said: "I will definitely join the NBA in the future."
These two people were actually the later partners of the Sharks, Chairman Yao and Liu Wei.
Both of them joined the Sharks youth team in 1993. At that time, Chairman Yao was already 1.96 meters tall. Two years later, his height has exceeded two meters.
And now he is only 15 years old!
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Well, we will be good partners when we join the NBA together!"
Chairman Yao also nodded happily and said: "Yes, let's join the NBA together when the time comes!"
Young people are always full of hope for the future.
Chairman Yao and Liu Wei are no exception!
"Do you think the Bayi team can release people?" Liu Wei asked.
Chairman Yao shook his head and said: "I don't know about this either, but I hope the Bayi team will finally let him go!"
Wang Zhizhi is their hope now. If the Bayi Team and the Basketball Association can release him, then they will have more possibilities in the future!
Liu Weidao: "I hope too!"
After the two chatted about Wang Zhizhi for a while, Liu Wei suggested that they go play games. As for the boring training, after the training, the two secretly went to play an arcade game, which was their pastime!
Almost all of their monthly allowance of 10 yuan is spent on this!
Just when everyone was speculating on whether Wang Zhizhi could go, Wu Jianye returned to China!
