When he first arrived in the United States, he was asked by the head coach to practice bodybuilding. In his first year of high school, he spent almost practicing physical fitness, basic shooting and layup skills. He did not jump directly to the third year of high school to serve as the team's main force.

During that time, he initially improved his strength and speed, but when his body was strong to a certain level, strength training had an impact on speed and flexibility. At this time, coach Scott Hollins stopped his physical training and asked him to specialize in technology. After his body was fully developed, he would consider whether to go to the dexterity or the power flow.

Zhang Hao’s idea is to take the speed and dexterity path when he was young, and then take the strength part when he was older and after the peak of his athletic ability.

Originally, Zhang Hao used the power growth card this time, and his biggest concern was that he was injured when he practiced too hard, so he was just going to try it. If it had an impact on speed and flexibility and was at risk of injury, then the training would be temporarily suspended.

After all, for him, these three points are very important parts of his off-ball play.

His plan to move towards strength after he gets older. In addition to the impact of his physical fitness decline, there is another important thing. In seven or eight years, he will definitely not be like this now. Only shooting is the strength. Over the years, his ability to play singles and other skills will definitely become stronger.

"Will using a growth card to improve a certain physical fitness avoid the negative impact of this training? Or minimize it?"

Zhang Hao thought about it and was ready to continue training. Once it affected his speed and flexibility, he stopped temporarily and focused on shooting and running training.

The training situation was very gratifying, but there was something that made him feel a headache recently.

That is the recruitment of agents.

One thing has affected his current attractiveness to a powerful agent - he has signed the rookie contract alone!

Generally speaking, as long as players who are likely to be selected by NBA teams, agents will flock to them. The salary commission of 3% to 5% is a great temptation for agents.

The agency industry is not as easy to mess with, just like 99.9% of athletes cannot enter the NBA. Most agents live in poverty without NBA players or players who have succeeded in gold making overseas. Sometimes they have to pay for a player out of their own pocket. When the player has not found a job, he has to support him, and it may not be rewarded.

He is not very attractive in business now because there is no precedent that allows him to show his commercial value. So he is currently attractive to powerful agents and only has the commission for the ninth pick rookie to guarantee contracts.

But he signed the rookie contract himself! Now that he signed an agent, the agent did not receive a commission, unless he took the initiative to give it to him, otherwise if the agent had no other income after signing him, it would be a waste of three years of work.

He probably didn't expect that the Nets would be in a hurry to sign a contract and cause trouble for him to recruit an agent.

Because all other players who were selected without exception had agents, including Garnett. After Garnett made up his mind to participate in the draft, he hired an agent.

Let Zhang Hao take the initiative to give him a salary of 3 to 5%? If it was before signing the contract, he would definitely be willing, but now the contract has been signed, then he really doesn't want it. It costs tens of thousands of US dollars a year...

"Let's do it first. Anyway, from the current situation, it seems that I have not shown any commercial value. Let's talk about it after entering the NBA..."

Zhang Hao is planning to put this matter aside for the time being and wait slowly. If any powerful agent has a good vision, he will continue to sign the contract.

Anyway, he knew that once he made a move, the old Jewish man in New York would definitely praise him, and his business value could be displayed, and those powerful agents would immediately try their best to get it.

After all, athletes rely on competitions to show their value. Zhang Hao has seen too much in the information age in the future.

Didn’t Charles Barkley say that if Jordan is not good at playing basketball, with Jordan’s appearance, education and character, he can only be a plumber when he becomes an adult...

Zhang Hao estimated that the old Jewish man must be trying to make a fuss about him and promote it in the Chinese market. However, the NBA has been suspended and the NBA cannot use the name or image of any player...

Just a few days ago, the NBA officially announced the suspension. After the Las Vegas Summer League was suspended on July 3, the Orlando Summer League, which started on July 9, also started the suspension.

This summer, even if it doesn't stop, he originally had to play in the summer league, but now the summer league is gone, so he really has nothing to do.

So, he was ready to devote himself to training.

Watching the lifespan value decrease day by day every day, he can only suppress the uneasy emotions by feeling the improvement brought by his training.

...

On July 8, 1995, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the South Korean team 87-78 in the final of the Seoul Basketball Asian Championships in South Korea. Hu Weidong, the strongest player of the Chinese men's basketball team, scored 33 points in the final and smashed the South Korean team's outside group with one hand.

In an interview after the game, Hu Weidong was asked about Zhang Hao. He replied modestly: "Although Zhang Hao is very young, he dares to go to the United States to explore. This is something I envy very much. My dream is to enter the NBA to play. He did what I did not do. I hope he can play in the NBA and let the children in China know that Chinese players can also enter the world's top league..."

Zhang Hao was hesitating about the inconvenience of information dissemination these years. He didn't know how much sensation he caused in China, nor did he know the fame bonus he was selected during the Asian Basketball Championships.

But he did give basketball people from all walks of life a huge boost in confidence.

After winning the championship, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to China. It is currently during the preparations for the Chinese Basketball League A. The top players and young geniuses in China are all busy.

The Blue Association has initially planned to have 12 teams participating in the first season of the league, but the players come from all over the world. The strength of players in various provinces is quite different. Investors are needed, namely the team bosses, players, officials of the Blue Association of each province, and officials of the Blue Association... to discuss together and call the players and bosses. The main reason is that the officials do not understand this at all. The reason why the league can sell tickets in the league is because the tickets can be sold, and the tickets are sold by the Blue Association. Regardless of whether the team makes money or not, the tickets must be sold.

However, the Blue Association has had a headache recently. A military player withdrew from the registration for the first season of the league. The player is working hard to apply to the military, hoping that the country can recommend him to go to the United States to study for college.

The news did not reach the outside world, but all the top basketball players in China knew about it.

Because this player is a genius who was named the best center in the World Youth Championship that just ended not long ago!

Hu Sanpao and the God of War were extremely excited to hear the news and rushed to the young genius' home to learn about the situation.

"Brother Hu, Brother Liu, are you here to persuade me too?"

"No, no, we hope you can persevere and we will help you!"

Wang Zhizhi originally thought that the two strongest players inside and outside the national team were here to persuade him to re-register in the A-League that started at the end of the year, so his attitude was not very good. After all, he was only 18 years old and was troubled by the people from the Lan Association these days.

As for the men's basketball team of Nanjing Military Industry Group where he is, the leaders have different opinions. Some people are worried that the Bayi team will be affected if they have just been established and their strength will be affected. Some people think that it is good for Wang Zhizhi to have the momentum. If he goes to a stronger league, he can make greater improvements. At least he can see the world, rather than staying in the immature basketball circle in China.

Ordinary people don’t know that in terms of team events, the national team has always been weak around the world, especially in men’s team events. Although table tennis and badminton also have team competitions, that team competition is actually a single or double competition, rather than a team event in the true sense. The senior management of these sports events is very clear.

Therefore, there is another doubt that the Nanjing Military Industry Group men's basketball team is very hesitant - what should Wang Zhizhi not play well in the American university?

So wouldn’t the future spending of the men’s basketball team that they have high hopes become a joke? If they don’t play well in American universities and go back to China to play A-level and beat others up, how should others deal with it?

The players are not a monolithic. Some people support Wang Zhizhi like Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong, and some people have the same worries as those senior executives, who are afraid that they will lose face in the future, so they come to be lobbyists of the Lan Association and advise him not to do stupid things.

Some people who want to support Wang Zhizhi do not dare to support him, for fear of affecting their future.

Human hearts are always complicated.

Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong are the first players to support Wang Zhizhi in the first season of the A League, and they come directly to his home.

This moved Wang Zhizhi and expressed his apology for his unfriendly attitude just now.
