NBA backer king

Chapter 99 What do I want a green card for?
The next day, the 28th.

On this day, a large number of sports media in the United States have news about "basket collectors", many of which are still headlines.

He picked off the opponent's five baskets in a row and successfully collected four of them. Wang Tiejun's brutal reputation has spread throughout the NBA and the American sports world.

At noon, Zhang Lili's plane also arrived in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, the Spurs arrived in Phoenix and were interviewed by the media at the hotel.

"Mr. Robinson, Old K thinks that you relied on referee factors to defeat him. Do you have any excuses for this?"

asked a Phoenix Athletic reporter.

Robinson said disdainfully: "That is the referee's penalty scale, what does it have to do with me? Only those who have no strength will find reasons and excuses for their failures."

"Then how do you respond to his evaluation of you as a 'soft guy'?" The reporter asked again.

There was a cold look in Robinson's eyes, and he was extremely angry, but he still maintained a gentleman's demeanor, and said generously: "I will not respond positively to a person who is obsessed with violence, and to a person who has not received a high-level coach.

According to media information, that rookie only went to China’s junior high school, that is, the eighth grade of our elementary school, and my upbringing told me to keep your mentality and don’t be influenced by those ignorant and inferior people. "

"I got a technical secondary education from CZ City Sports School. Who said I only went to junior high school? You idiot."

When Wang Tiejun saw this interview on the TV media, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Robinson deliberately discredited him and dwarfed his academic qualifications.

He didn't know that the United States didn't recognize China's school qualifications at all, so his education in the United States was only junior high school.

However, he also knows that he does not study enough and is looked down upon by others outside, so now he supports his two sisters to go to college at any cost.

After his sisters graduate from university, he still wants them to study abroad, but it depends on whether they are willing or not.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Lili arrived.

Wang Tiejun called a taxi and rushed to the airport to pick him up. There was a lot of luggage, and two barrels of medicinal oil alone weighed 160 catties.

As soon as Zhang Lili got out of the car as soon as he entered the yard, he saw the huge wooden pile in the yard.

"Tie Jun, this thing is the wooden stake you rely on to practice the Iron Mountain? It's so big, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" He said in surprise.

"Don't be afraid, I am familiar with the work of hitting wooden posts. I haven't practiced much other martial arts, so I have practiced it." Wang Tiejun said indifferently.

Get the things out of the car first, then send the driver away, and then the two move the things into the house.

Most of the things are miscellaneous things brought by the family. No matter whether he needs it or not, the family has brought him a lot, just like when he was in Cangzhou and the sports school, no matter how difficult the family was, food, drink and clothing were all tight to him.

"These are cloth shoes that your mother and your two sisters rushed to make for you. I have seen them and they are quite thick."

They were all brought in, and Zhang Lili helped tidy them up. First, he brought over a cloth bag. After opening it, there were more than ten pairs of cloth shoes inside.

"I used to only wear this when I was in the SJZ provincial team. I wasted money on shoes when I was playing. My mother and sister made shoes for me at home every night." Wang Tiejun laughed.

"This is Chinese New Year's salted meat and salted fish. You don't have many at home, so you don't want to eat it, so I got it for you. This thing has to be hung up, and it can be put in the refrigerator, so as not to spoil it."

Zhang Lili took another big bag.

"It was the same at home in this season before. They were reluctant to eat, and they were all tight to me." Wang Tiejun laughed.

Zhang Lili said: "When I saw your parents and sisters, they were very thin."

Wang Tiejun smiled with red eyes: "They have always been like that. My two sisters grew up hungry. The family's expenses are too high. Sometimes I don't want to play ball and practice martial arts, but they still don't follow me.

I remember when I was young, the family conditions were worse than previous years, so I was the only one to provide for me. Seeing that my two sisters were very hungry, I secretly gave them some food. My dad found out and beat them several times. Later, I left them for them, but they did not dare to eat. "

"It's all right now, you can be regarded as an outstanding person, and you can repay them." Zhang Lili nodded.

"To succeed?"

Wang Tiejun smiled. He knew in his heart that if it weren't for the system, he might still be working illegally in New York, and he might one day be dragged into the water by the Fuqing gang in Manhattan's Chinatown and become a gang member. Those gangs often pester him.

He knew a little bit about the details of the gang, which specialized in smuggling people from Fujian to the United States. The cost per person was [-] to [-] US dollars. Most of the people in Manhattan's Chinatown were smuggled Fuzhou people, and that street was also called Little Fuzhou, which is why it came here.

Speaking of coming to the United States, he still has to thank the corrupt criminal who taught him English in the prison. If he hadn't arranged for someone to help, he, a poor guy who just got out of the prison, could get a visa to come to the United States?And he was also given a maximum stay of six months, otherwise he would not be able to smuggle into the United States if he wanted to come to the United States, and he couldn't afford that money.

After finishing things, Zhang Lili said, "Tie Jun, come on, let's talk first."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Lao Zhang's expression, Wang Tiejun was not very well, and he muttered in his heart.

Zhang Lili said: "Look, the contract you gave me is a trainer's contract. This is what we agreed on, but what did you say on the phone, you want me to do chores now?"

Comrade Wang laughed and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, don't worry, it must be the trainer, I still need you to teach me a lot of center forward skills."

Zhang Lili nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right, with your skills, if you want to shoot or not, or if you don't have steps, you will know how to be stubborn. I can definitely teach you a lot."

"But Brother Zhang, you are the second center forward, and you know center forward skills?" Wang Tiejun asked suspiciously.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The second center is also a center. Can I not understand? It's not me. When I was playing, there were not many insiders in Asia who were my opponents. I am also the coach of the national team. I used to be the head coach of the BJ Youth Team. Can I bring fake ones?"

"All right, Brother Zhang, as long as you work by my side for a year or two, when I make my mark in the NBA, I will make a name for you. Maybe I can also enter the NBA as a trainer." Wang Tiejun laughed.

These words made Zhang Lili excited, Tie Jun boy is really loyal enough, this buddy can deal with it.

Whether he joins the team as a trainer or as a personal trainer, he can do it, as long as he can continue to work in this industry, he doesn't choose.

However, he still had an idea in his mind, it would be great if he could reverse Tie Jun's case, then Tie Jun would join the national team, and he might have a chance to return to the national team.

A few years ago, he lost to the United States because he failed to compete for the head coach of the national team. Otherwise, if the domestic development is good, who would come here?
Wang Tiejun then took out a few pages of paper, on which were three training contents, strength, flexibility, and coordination, all of which were systematic training contents, handed it to Zhang Lili, and said: "Brother Zhang, this is my current personal training content, please urge me, how to arrange An An's training time.

Each of these three exercises has a requirement to maintain at least one hour of training per day. "

"Did the trainer of the Suns give you this thing?" Zhang Lili took it and asked.

"Well, yes." Wang Tiejun fooled.

Zhang Lili took a closer look and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He even felt that the level of the training content was much higher than his, so he said with a little shame:

"It seems that I still have to study. The level of training in China is not as good as that in the United States. I also worked at the University of Chicago for a few years and learned some things. Looking at it now, it is still far behind."

Wang Tiejun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you just need to urge me to complete this content. In addition, I will add some training content in the future, such as speed, such as shooting, low-post training, defense, etc. You can give me a corresponding training plan, and then I will ask the trainer of the Suns to give me a copy. I can compare and see who is better."

After chatting for a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Zhang, you have been in the United States for several years, have you applied for a green card yet?"

Zhang Lili shook his head and said, "It's not easy to apply for a green card. I don't have that kind of thing. You ask this, do you want to apply for a green card? That's right, with a green card, you don't need a passport, and you can enter and leave the United States freely."

"Is a green card an immigrant?"

Lao Wang didn't understand this either. He didn't want to immigrate, but he didn't have a green card, so he had to apply for a residence permit every few months, which was very troublesome.

"Of course not. A green card is a permanent residence permit. Your nationality is still Chinese, not an immigrant. But with a green card, the U.S. government can legally tax your global assets. You have to be careful, don't evade taxes. It will be very troublesome to be targeted by the U.S. tax bureau."

"What does global asset taxation mean?" Old Wang was a little confused.

"That is, your assets in China must also pay taxes to the United States." Lao Zhang explained.

"I'm in, so what do I need a green card for?" Lao Wang immediately quit, immediately dismissed the idea of ​​applying for a green card, and stopped asking questions.

The two chatted for about half an hour. Wang Tiejun looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dark. He said with a smile, "Well, brother Zhang, it's time for dinner. Let's save money and make do with it at home. I'll tell you that you must be a good cook in the kitchen."

"It seems that I, a handyman, have to work part-time as a nanny!" Zhang Lili smiled wryly and got up to cook.

29th, game day.

In the morning, Wang Tiejun and Zhang Lili went to a car dealership and picked out a Ford SUV with a large space. According to Buckley, it is cheaper than an off-road vehicle and less fuel-intensive, which suits his current needs.

"Brother Zhang, let's go to practice."

At ten o'clock, the procedures were completed, and Comrade Wang happily sat in the co-pilot seat.

"Come on, let's go for a few laps." Zhang Lili laughed.

The two drove to Dongxiao, and when they arrived at Shixiao, Comrade Lao Wang asked him to stop and replace him.

"That Tiejun, do you know how to drive? I don't have a secondary brake here." Zhang Lili sat on the passenger seat with fear, holding the handbrake with his left hand.

"It's okay, look at me, I used to do it when I was in the provincial team." Wang Tiejun said confidently.

"That's good."

Zhang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, but the handbrake was not released, and he was still pinching it in his hand.

"Brother Zhang, do you know Ma Jian?" Wang Tiejun said while stepping on the accelerator and releasing the clutch while turning the steering wheel.

"I've seen him from the HEB provincial team. When I coached the BJ youth team, he played in the Hebei youth team. Later, when he entered the national team, I had already come to the United States. Oh, yes, you are teammates." Zhang Lili said.

The car moved forward slowly, Wang Tiejun shook his head and said, "It's a teammate. When I entered the provincial team at the end of 89, he had already gone to the national team and didn't spend much time in the provincial team. I didn't stay in the provincial team long before something happened. I haven't met him."

Zhang Lili said: "After he competed in the Olympic Games last year, he heard that he also came to the United States, do you know?"

Wang Tiejun was startled, shook his head and said, "I don't know. After my accident the year before last, I didn't go back to the provincial team. I came directly to the United States."

"Then why are you mentioning him?" Zhang Lili asked in confusion.

"Oh, he went to the national team, and there was a scrapped jeep thrown in the provincial team. I used his car to practice. Speaking of his car, the space was small. I was two meters tall at the time, and my physique was a little smaller than now. I managed to fit it in. By the way, do you know where he hangs out?" Wang Tiejun said.

"I don't know about this. If you want to know, can I contact Office Liu for you?" Zhang Lili asked.

"Which Office?"

"It's Liu Yumin, who used to be a member of the National Women's Basketball Team, but is now the deputy director of the Basketball Division of the Sports Commission. He may be promoted to the director soon, in charge of all domestic basketball affairs." Zhang Reasonable explained.

"Brother Zhang, you are awesome, all you know are high-ranking officials! That's all right, you can ask me, I don't know anyone here, Ma Jian is here, everyone can get in touch, there is also a help." Wang Tiejun said.

"Okay, this is easy." Zhang Lili said.

At this time, Wang Tiejun smiled, and said, "Brother Zhang, you already know that director Liu, can you ask me, do I have a chance to enter the national team with my current strength?"

Zhang Lili thought about it, and hesitated: "No, Tie Jun, you are indeed not too young, and you are not very old. Let's wait for two years, and then wait for a few years. Anyway, the Olympic Games have just passed, and the next Olympic Games is still four years away."

"That's all right, tell me when the time comes, I'm playing in the United States, I'm afraid that no basketball club will know my name."

Wang Tiejun nodded helplessly.

When he was born, the first generation of leaders was still there. When he was young, he received a collectivist education. The sense of collective honor is very important. As a Chinese, being able to play for the country under the five-star red flag is the highest honor for him, and he is very eager.

Zhang Lili sighed secretly, if he couldn't reverse the case, how could it be possible to enter the national team?
Unless, unless Wang Tiejun's strength can really surpass those domestic centers by a large margin, and the performance of the men's basketball team still has problems, then it is possible to do something special.

In terms of rules, there is actually no rule that says that people who have been in prison cannot join the national team. After all, the national team is not the army, it is just sports, and the trial is not so strict.

To put it simply, if Wang Tiejun wants to enter the national team, his strength cannot determine everything, but it will be possible only when he can't do it without him.

He didn't want to talk about it now, for fear of irritating Wang Tiejun, because the steering wheel was in Wang Tiejun's hands, what if the car overturned?
"squeak!"

At this moment, Wang Tiejun slammed on the brakes and the car came to a sudden stop.

"Tie Jun, why are you stepping on the emergency brake?"

Zhang Lili jumped forward suddenly, if he hadn't pulled his seat belt, he would have hit his head on the windshield, which shocked him a lot, but when he looked ahead, there was no car?
"Wow, look, Brother Zhang, what is that?" Wang Tiejun shouted, pointing at the distant Sha Feng.

Zhang Lili saw that it was a dog, no, it should be a wolf, and they were about 200 meters away.

"Drove over there to have a look?" Wang Tiejun said excitedly.

"You want to feed the wolves? Come on, turn around, let's go back to the city. Let me tell you, this thing is a litter, don't provoke them." Zhang Lili shouted.

"It's really a nest."

Wang Tiejun still wanted to hold on, but when he saw a few more wolves appearing behind the wolf, he quickly gave up his previous thoughts.

"Brother Zhang, I'm going to buy a gun, and I'll organize a hunting team with Barkley and the others."

"You should calm down a bit. When the wolves chase you, they will only eat you, not them."

"why?"

"Because you are the slowest runner."

"Damn it, it turns out that Barkley and the others wanted to use this method to destroy me, it's too vicious!"

While chatting nonchalantly, while slowly driving back to the city, Wang Tiejun said: "Brother Zhang, there is a game tonight, let's go to the training base first. Last time, David Robinson made six fouls. Look at me tonight. I hit him with internal injuries."

"No, Tie Jun, it's time for dinner, why don't you make some arrangements? The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers either!" Zhang Lili said hastily.

"Then what can be arranged, go to the training base to eat." Wang Tiejun said.

Zhang Lili was stunned, and laughed and scolded: "You boy, you are so stingy! You are a player, you can go there to eat, what am I?"

"No, I didn't tell you to eat at the training base. What I meant was to buy you a hamburger on the way." Wang Tiejun laughed.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Lili slapped Comrade Wang on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "You eat a nutritious meal, so you give me a hamburger?"

"You see, I will provide you with food and housing, and I have to pay you such a high salary. Is it easy for me?"

In the end, Lao Zhang ate a hamburger. There are no Chinese restaurants in Phoenix now, only foreign fast food.

In less than a minute, Wang Tiejun carefully drove his new car to the outside of the training base, tens of meters away from the gate.
"Damn it, why is it driving so slowly?"

Kevin Johnson drove his Ferrari to the back. Seeing that the SUV in front was too slow, he kicked the accelerator and slammed down.

"boom!"

Ferrari slammed the accelerator and overtook it, then slammed on the brakes and stopped outside the gate.

"Fuck!"

This frightened Comrade Wang, stepped on his foot, the accelerator acted as a brake, and with a bang, he slammed into the Ferrari in front of him.

"Shet!"

Kevin Johnson was observing the car behind him from the mirror, his eyes widened when he saw this, and he was so frightened that he wanted to abandon the car and run away.

"squeak!"

Zhang Lili reacted quickly. He kept his hand on the handbrake, and quickly pulled it up. The SUV screamed and stopped behind the Ferrari, only a foot away.

"Hey boy, what do you drive? My car is worth $30. Who the hell are you? Come down and let me see."

Kevin Johnson got down angrily, walked quickly to the side of the SUV, knocked on the window and shouted.

"Old K?"

The window rolled down, revealing a face that stunned him.

"Kevin, damn it, we're almost at the door, why are you overtaking me? You scared me, you almost got into a car accident, you know?"

Comrade Wang was so excited that he grabbed Kevin Johnson by the chest and pulled him over, foaming at the mouth.

"Damn it, let me go. Old K, I didn't know it was you. If I knew, I would definitely not overtake. I would rather wait a year later than overtake. I would not risk my life to overtake your car. You almost killed me just now."

Kevin Johnson knocked off Pharaoh's hand and said angrily.

"squeak!"

Another car came from behind, it was Buckley's SUV, and it stopped beside it.

"Old K, have you bought a car? Yes, this car is very solid, suitable for novices, and you won't feel bad if it crashes."

Barkley yelled, and then asked curiously: "But what are you doing here? There's another car coming from behind, it's Danny Ainge's car."

Old Wang said angrily: "Kevin wants to change cars with me. I'm a new car, so I'm at a disadvantage, but he's my brother. In the end, I had no choice but to agree."

"Who told you to switch cars with you, and you won't be able to sit in my car." Kevin Johnson ran away quickly, and his car was about to change owners.

"Ha ha……"

Barkley and Lao Wang laughed loudly.
