Chapter 4 Unexpected attention

"Little guy, congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

In a very official conversation, David Stern held Wang Hao's hand and let the media shoot it with all his heart.

Although the media is very proud of its face, the flash keeps on turning on, as for whether it can be reported, it is not necessarily true.

For the media, this is nothing more than accumulating material.

Of course, Wang Hao understood this truth, and he didn't expect anything. This was just his starting point.

According to the normal mode, Wang Hao can leave. Who would have thought that David Stern did not let go, but instead said.

"Wang, right? You should be this name. To be honest, I look forward to your performance.

Work hard, if you can perform well, you may have unexpected surprises.”

Hearing this, Wang Hao was stunned. Could it be that David Stern could see what the domineering aura on his body?

OK, I'm just thinking too much.

In fact, before this, David Stern didn't even know that there was a person like Wang Hao, and it was unheard of.

He is the president of the NBA and has a lot of money. Although he is concerned about the draft, he can only pay attention to the lottery zone and the first round of the new stars.

What really attracted David Stern's attention was the nationality and Chinese nationality in Wang Hao's information.

A few years ago, in order to open up the Chinese market, as the president of the NBA, he even stood by the gate of CCTV.

What is for?

Isn’t it just to open up an international market or to better promote the NBA?

If we want to open up the international market, we cannot avoid China's population of more than one billion, which is definitely the largest overseas market in the future.

If you want to promote the NBA in China, you will naturally be indispensable for Chinese players, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve obvious results.

In fact, David Stern is more optimistic about the other two giants, who are looking forward to their entry into the NBA.

Unfortunately, he was unable to wait until the two giants landed in the NBA.

Now seeing Wang Hao, who was born in a Chinese family, he just said casually, after all, Wang Hao is just the last round pick.

If he can't prove himself in the summer league and preseason, perhaps he won't even have the chance to set foot in the NBA.

"Congratulations, Wang, you have taken a crucial step."

"Thanks."

After saying that, Jeff Schwartz turned his attention to Artest again and told him about signing the contract.

Of course, he did not deliberately ignore Wang Hao, and even told Wang Hao that he was already communicating with the Supersonics.

That's right, this is Jeff Schwartz, the future famous agent in the NBA.

However, Jeff Schwartz is not the future agent, and the Excellent Sports Management Company has not been established yet. He is only a well-known agent.

Moreover, Jeff Schwartz's business is more focused on tennis, which initially involves the basketball career.

It is precisely because he understands Schwartz's future influence that Wang Hao advised Arte to sign Schwartz, and by the way, he also signed Schwartz.

Not only David Stern, the Chinese, noticed Wang Hao, but also someone else noticed it.

Far away in Los Angeles, the United States, a middle-aged man was also staring at the TV in an ordinary apartment.

"Wang Hao? It sounds like a Chinese person?"

This middle-aged man has yellow skin and dark hair, and a figure of more than 1.9 meters, which is clearly like a Chinese.

That's right, this is Zhang Heli, a former national player in China and an older generation of basketball players.

Since retiring from the national team, Zhang Heli has also been a coach and even led the national team to achieve good results.

However, later due to various reasons and even some conflicts, he simply withdrew from the national team.

He was unwilling to give up basketball, so he simply came to the United States and was eager to join the NBA.

Although I can't be a player, it seems to be quite good to be a coach or a trainer.

It's a pity that the NBA doesn't give him a chance at all.

With his experience in the United States, he contacted the national team again and was responsible for the publicity and promotion of the A-League.

That's right, it's not called CBA now, but League One.

It is not a formal position, that is, when the national team came to the United States, he helped contact and arrange it.

Now, he doesn't want to continue working in the United States, but plans to continue working in basketball.

He wants to go back to CCTV to be a supporter of basketball programs, and there will be a column to write about basketball news.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the United States, I made an unexpected discovery.

You know, he is paying attention to the NBA draft today purely to pay attention to Wang Zhizhi's situation.

Although Dazhi did not participate in the draft, he also wanted to know what level the best Chinese player is in the NBA.

Zhang Heli didn't delay and quickly collected Wang Hao's news.

There are not many special reports about Wang Hao, but there are some news about the Red Storm Team of St. John's University.

Although they are all local media, as long as you have the heart to spend money, relevant news and newspapers can still be found.

"International students? They are really Chinese!"

"I just graduated from my freshman year this year and I'm only nineteen years old!"

"What? He has never received professional basketball training before?"

...

The more information he learned, the more excited Zhang Heli became. He didn't expect that there would be such a ghost in the sea in China.

Especially being able to gain a foothold in the NCAA and enter the NBA has shown Wang Hao's strength.

Especially now, the Sydney Olympics are coming soon, if Wang Hao is introduced to the national team...

At present, the Chinese national team is very strong. They reached the quarterfinals of the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, and they also reached the quarterfinals of the 1994 Canadian World Championships.

However, the problems with the Chinese national team are still there, the internal and external lines are unbalanced, the ability to hold the ball and advance in a limited way, and the chain is lost at critical moments...

The previous failure of the Asian Championships in 1997 led to the inability to participate in last year's World Championships, which explained the problem.

"It's not enough!"

Zhang Heli shook his head. He knew very well that it was not that easy to get Wang Hao to join the national team.

There has never been a player outside the system to join the national team, and there are definitely various difficulties.

Unless it is a complete surpassing of strength, some people will definitely not be happy to see Wang Hao join the national team.

"I hope this young man can play in the NBA!"

At first, he planned to see Wang Hao with his own eyes, but in the end, Zhang Heli gave up this idea.

Entering the NBA as a final pick is already under great pressure. If you pay attention to it at this time, it will only increase his pressure.

Zhang Heli does not intend to report this incident deliberately, so that Wang Hao can face the competition with a more relaxed attitude.

Wang Hao naturally didn't know that he was actually paid attention to by Zhang Heli.

At this time, he was waiting patiently, what was he waiting for? Naturally, he was waiting for the signing of the Supersonics team.

Haven't you been selected for the draft? Why are there any problems?

Well, there is really a problem. As long as the signing is not completed, the Supersonics can give up the signing right at any time.

Even if you sign a contract, it is not safe, because the contract for the last round pick is only partially guaranteed.

In other words, the team can spend a lot of money to get you out of here.
