Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 66
David Stern's words made NBA employees work overtime and busy collecting data.

At the same time, in Shencheng, China, two young people reluctantly left the TV set, ready to go to training.

"This guy is very good. He can score 29 points in his first game in the NBA."

The one who spoke was a short man, and he was said to be a short man, but in fact it was only in relative terms, compared to the one next to him.

In fact, he is 190 cm tall, a professional player, which of course cannot be considered short.

The reason why he looks a bit short is simply that the person next to him is too tall, 226 cm tall.

That's right, these two are the main point guard and inside core of the Shencheng team, Liu Wei and Yao Ming.

"It's really amazing!"

Yao Ming's voice was a little fuzzy, of course, it wasn't because the height difference between the two was a bit too much and their voices were not on the same level.

It's purely because Yao Ming's thoughts were flying at this time, he didn't listen to Liu Wei's words seriously, but just answered subconsciously.

As for what he was thinking, he was naturally thinking about the NBA.

As early as last year, he participated in the summer camp training game held by Nike, and he had the idea of ​​going to the NBA.

Don't look at him playing well in the training camp, and even defeated the widely expected Tyson Chandler.

However, during those few days, he also really saw the advanced concepts and training methods of American basketball.

Since then, he has been desperate to make it to the NBA.

However, in the past few years, everyone has discussed whether Wang Zhizhi can go to the NBA.

Wang Zhizhi hasn't made it yet, so naturally he doesn't need to be so anxious.

It wasn't until he heard about Wang Hao that he knew that there were already Chinese players in the NBA.

Not an athlete within the system, but went to the United States to study, first played in the NCAA, and then passed the NBA draft.

This is how I stood in front of the TV early this morning to see the strength of this Chinese compatriot.

Seeing Wang Hao's killing all directions in the NBA arena, Yao Ming's somewhat quiet heart was ready to move again.

"Dayao, let's go, change clothes, training."

Hearing this, Yao Ming, who was already eager to try, immediately became dejected again.

As the core of the current Shencheng team, Yao Ming has also entered the national team, and Yao Ming still has some contacts.

Ever since he wanted to enter the NBA, Yao Ming has also been paying attention to Wang Zhizhi's entry into the NBA.

Because he understands that whether it is Wang Zhizhi or him, it is not so easy to enter the NBA.

The reality he learned was that it was far from ideal.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Wang Zhizhi already had the opportunity to go to the United States and even enter the NBA.

But after all these years, there is still no movement.

As for the reason, everyone understands.

With Wang Zhizhi's influence in China's basketball today, he can't even go to the NBA. How can Yao Ming go?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

----

"David, are you looking at the profile of that Chinese man?"

Ras Granik walked directly into David Stern's office without knocking on the door.

As the current NBA vice president and Stern's old buddy for many years, he has such treatment.

David Stern didn't seem to notice him, but was concentrating on some material.

This made Rasgranik a little curious, but he didn't expect that this was Wang Hao's information.

Hearing Las Granik's voice, David Stern smiled and said without raising his head.

"A very nice little fellow, isn't he?"

"Maybe, it looks a bit talented, but David, I don't think there is any need to put my mind here."

Las Granik's words are not unreasonable. An international player, or a rookie, really doesn't deserve too much attention.

"With this time, we should consider how to increase the influence of the All-Star Game."

The new season has started and is running normally, nothing to bother about.

However, for next year's All-Star Game, Las Granik is full of worries.

Jordan's retirement again is undoubtedly a blow to the NBA. The All-Star event was suspended last year.

In addition to the long-term suspension of the league due to labor negotiations, there are also reasons for the decline in the attractiveness of the All-Star Game.

As the most important game of the year, especially in the middle of the season, the NBA naturally attaches great importance to it.

"You're right, Russ, but this little guy deserves our attention."

As an old partner for many years, Las Granik naturally understands David Stern's true thoughts.

"Are you still concerned about the Huaxia market?"

"Of course, they have a population of more than a billion people, and basketball is very popular there."

"But, they can't even afford our live streaming rights!"

David Stern said: "Lars, you have never been to China, you don't know, they are developing very rapidly.

Besides, the market needs to be cultivated, and the little effort now is totally worth it.

You have to understand that the US market has been thoroughly developed by us, and the future of the NBA lies in the whole world.

However, Europe is occupied by damn football, and Asia is where we flex our muscles. "

Regarding this argument, David Stern has said it more than once, and Las Granik has to admit that it is correct.

"Well, you're right, but is this little guy okay?"

"Who knows? But since there is a chance, you have to try it, otherwise who knows the result?"

"Perhaps, do you really like this Chinese man?"

Speaking of this, David Stern couldn't help but think of what he said to Wang Hao at the draft meeting not long ago.

"Work hard, if you can play a wonderful performance, there may be unexpected surprises."

The reason why I said this at the beginning was purely on a whim.

To be honest, even at that time, he didn't think Wang Hao could gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

After all, being selected with the sixth overall pick is almost the one to lose, and the chances are really slim.

Indeed, even if they lose the draft, there are many who have gained a firm foothold in the NBA, and they can even make a name for themselves.

But there are very few such players. Even if they can play, at most they can gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and it is difficult to play star data.

Even later, Wang Hao played well in the summer league, and David Stern didn't pay special attention.

After all, that was just summer league.

But never expected that even in the NBA, Wang Hao's performance is still amazing.

This undoubtedly surprised David Stern.

More importantly, this is quite a feeling of being superior to others and discovering treasures in the vast sea.

That's right, that's how it is, he has always been optimistic about Wang Hao.

The more David Stern thought about it, the more he felt that his vision was very good, after all, he had noticed Wang Hao early in the morning.

Didn't you see that he made all the promises? When Wang Hao hits the mark, there will be surprises.
