[Chapter [-] Return]

The performance of the University of Minnesota basketball team in the Big Ten Conference Championship can only be said to be the best. In the entire [-] games, they did not miss any games, and finally won the championship with a record of [-] games. Won the Big Ten Championship.

On the campus of the University of Minnesota, from the high-ranking principal to the gardener in charge of mowing the lawn, they are all crazy about the achievements of the basketball team. Even the support rate of the basketball team among the students has jumped to the highest among all clubs. The basketball arena with more than 1000 people will be full of seats on the game day. Although the University of Minnesota reluctantly gave up the ticket revenue for the Big Ten Conference Championship, they also see hope for the future. The basketball team with such a record, When the NCAA tournament starts, tickets will definitely sell for a sky-high price.

On campus, Wang Zhen, Song Feng, Bell, Huo Huabo, Winters, Bush and other basketball team players have all become campus stars, and teachers and students will greet them warmly wherever they go .

After winning the championship of the Big Ten, the basketball team has no more games except for daily training, and the players are all devoted to intense study and life, and the final exam for the freshman year is coming soon.

Any team with outstanding performance in the NCAA has never lacked the attention of NBA scouts. The outstanding performance of the University of Minnesota basketball team in the Big Ten Conference Championship has naturally attracted great attention, especially Wang The iron triangle composed of Zhen, Song Feng and Bell is the most eye-catching.

And Wang Zhen and Song Feng have received more attention than Bell. After all, players in the NBA have never lacked strong power forwards. On the contrary, Wang Zhen and Song Feng from China, because of the huge Chinese market behind them, have received winks from many NBA clubs.

As the agent of Wang Zhen and Song Feng, while completing his studies, Liu Wen must also shoulder the responsibility of arranging time for Wang Zhen and Song Feng's commercial activities, as well as considering the timing and choice for them to enter the NBA in the future. Manufacturers' advertisements, contact with NBA scouts, returns and reinvestment of investment funds, and other issues are naturally in charge of Liu Wenlai. To put it bluntly, Liu Wen is not just the manager of Wang Zhen and Song Feng. He can even be regarded as the big housekeeper of the two of them. Wang Zhen and Song Feng only play basketball, and leave all other trivial matters to Liu Wen to arrange.

So far, the "interesting" teams for Wang Zhen and Song Feng include the Sonics, Rockets, and Minnesota Timberwolves, and even many fans who watched the game between the Timberwolves and the University of Minnesota basketball team at the same time have already called for the unmatched record in the past two years. The good Timberwolves have started to introduce the Chinese twin stars.

In fact, out of the principle of fairness, the NBA league has a very complete draft plan, but that is just something on the surface, and the NBA professional league is only trying to give all teams as fair as possible.

The real fact is that every year in the draft, there are all kinds of black box operations. In fact, most NBA teams can get the players they want in the draft by exchanging draft picks or players. , so many outstanding NCAA players can basically determine which club they will go to before entering the NBA. Players who really need to go to the draft and wait for someone to pick them are not really sought-after at all.

And Wang Zhen and Song Feng, the two Chinese boys, had already been favored by the Rockets coach Adelman in the BJ Olympic men's basketball competition last year, and the team's scout Melvin Hunter Another identity is one of the assistant coaches of the Houston Rockets. Adelman gave him the task of bringing in Wang Zhen and Song Feng.

After observing the performance of the Chinese twin stars in the Big Ten League Championships, the coaching staff of the Rockets affirmed the growth of the two young boys Wang Zhen and Song Feng, and head coach Rick Adelman has also started I can't wait to see two Chinese boys put on Rockets uniforms and form the Chinese Iron Triangle with Yao Ming to compete in the NBA.

Judging from Yao Ming's strength, he is stronger than Bell in any case, so the performance of China's Iron Triangle is definitely worth looking forward to.

However, the Rockets will face a lot of problems if they want to introduce two Chinese boys at the same time. First of all, they have been able to enter the playoffs every year. To get two Chinese boys by means, it is impossible to say that the Rockets are estimated to lose a player with good strength in the current team and a sum of cash.Furthermore, whether the two Chinese players, Wang Zhen and Song Feng, will appear in next year's NBA draft.

Naturally, the task of inquiring news fell on Yao Ming, the captain of the Chinese national team.

In July, before the Rockets played a guest game against the Timberwolves in Minnesota, Yao Ming and Melvin Hunter showed up at the home of Wang Zhen and Song Feng despite their busy schedules.

At this time, the two boys who have won the Big Ten Championship for the University of Minnesota have already received the call-up of the national team and are preparing to return to China for the Asian Championships. Seeing the appearance of the boss of the national team, the two boys are very happy Incredible.

As soon as they met, Song Feng punched Yao Ming's chest: "Haha, good boss Yao, you finally thought of visiting our brothers."

Wang Zhen with a smile on his face saw Melvin Hunter behind Yao Ming, and he already guessed Yao Ming's arrival this time. It was by no means that simple. If he just came to see the two brothers, how could he need the Rockets? The scout followed, could it be that he was a driver?

But they obviously came by car!
After letting Yao Ming and Melvin Hunter into the room, the servant immediately served hot coffee.

Liu Wen personally brought a set of tea sets to the coffee table, and looked at Melvin Hunter with a smile: "Mr. Melvin Hunter, we have met once, I think you are here today Is the purpose the same as last time?"

Melvin Hunter smiled awkwardly, and nodded embarrassingly.

Indeed, after knowing that Liu Wen is the manager of Wang Zhen and Song Feng, he had contacted Liu Wen in private and offered him very generous terms. Participate in the draft, and take advantage of the fact that the two Chinese boys are not well-known, and draw them into the Rockets.

It’s just that he still failed that time, and even Liu Wen rejected Melvin Hunter’s offer at that time, and told the other party very solemnly that when the Chinese twin stars will participate in the NBA draft and which team they join, they will all be determined. They need to choose by themselves, not his agent dictating.

Seeing that the Asian Men's Basketball Championship is about to start, according to the news that the Rockets got, Wang Zhen and Song Feng have also been selected into the Chinese Men's Basketball Team again. Their performance in the Asian Championship with their great strength will definitely be quite astonishing, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble. The attention of scouts from other NBA teams, in desperation, the Rockets once again played the "favor" card of Yao Ming.

Yao Ming, who wants to win the NBA championship, certainly understands what kind of improvement these two Chinese boys will bring to the Rockets if they join the Rockets. In addition, head coach Adelman even promised him that if the two When the Chinese boys arrive, he will definitely give them the status of the main player as much as possible, so Yao Ming came to lobby in person.

Seeing Liu Wen fiddle with the charcoal stove to boil water and make tea in an orderly manner, Yao Ming smiled and said to Wang Zhen, "Genius Wang, I'm here to be a lobbyist in person today, so just tell me the truth. When are you two going to enter the NBA!"

Song Feng has Wang Zhen as his backbone, and Yao Ming knows this very well. As long as Wang Zhen says when to enter the NBA, Song Feng will definitely follow.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Since you, Boss Yao, have asked all the questions, let me tell you the truth. Before we win the NCAA championship or finish our studies, the two of us will not enter the NBA in advance."

Yao Ming nodded: "Well, it's the same as I thought! However, if the University of Minnesota basketball team wins the NCAA championship this year, if the two of you enter the NBA, can you join the Rockets? I will explain to you, Mr. Rick Adelman promised that if you are willing to come to the Rockets, then you will get the position of the main players. But I have to tell you that the current Rockets, even with you two, are not strong enough Aspire to the NBA championship! You can still learn a lot in the NCAA, the progress of the two of you this year is not small!"

The two of them were talking in Chinese, and they didn't worry about Melvin Hunter, who was almost drooling while looking at the teapot emitting the aroma of tea.

Wang Zhen nodded indifferently: "Because of you, almost every Chinese fan knows something about the strength of the Rockets. Song Feng and I will carefully consider your suggestion."

After Yao Ming finished speaking, he stretched out his big hand and took a sip of tea from a small purple sand teacup, then began to chat with Wang Zhen and Song Feng. Of course, several people also talked about Xu Xuezhi's announcement for the Asian Championships. List of new national team players.

In fact, among the 12-man roster announced by Xu Xuezhi this time, apart from Wang Zhen and Song Feng, who played in the NCAA, there is no returnee. The other ten players are all from domestic CBA clubs. Players or players from CUBA, including even a high school player.

As soon as this lineup was announced, Wang Zhen and Song Feng, who participated in the BJ Olympic men's basketball competition, became the well-deserved leaders of the "national team" in this field.

The outside media have expressed that, judging from the lineup of the new national team that can be regarded as the U[-] Chinese team, Xu Xuezhi obviously has no intention of bringing back the Asian Championship champion, and more intentions should be Training, in order to select players with good strength from young players, to prepare for the [-] World Championships, and even to prepare in advance for the [-] London Olympics.

As for who needs to be trained, it is already clear just by looking at the lineup of the national team. Xu Xuezhi basically wants to use the Asian Championships in this world to beat the Chinese twin stars. Anyone can see that this year's The core figures of the national team are Wang Zhen and Song Feng.

Later, a statement issued by Li Yuan, vice chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, also proved this point. The goal set by the Chinese Basketball Association for this national team Asian Championship is to "train young players and strive to reach the semi-finals."

Since training young players is a priority, it is obvious that the Chinese Basketball Association is not too optimistic about this Asian Championship. After all, the Chinese men's basketball team has won too many Asian Championship championships, and has long been in the Asian basketball world. He is the well-deserved boss. In addition, more and more Chinese players are now going global. The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is simply outstanding in Asia. There is no need for an Asian Championship champion to prove anything. .

Because of the outstanding performance of the national team head coach Xu Xuezhi in last year's BJ Olympics, fans all over China are full of confidence in his coaching. He can do whatever he wants.

At the same time, both the fans and the media are very caring and concerned about the Chinese twin stars. The two boys who just won the Big Ten Championship for the University of Minnesota in the United States have also been placed high hopes by the Chinese people. I hope they can quickly Mature and be able to shine in next year's World Championships.

After sending away Yao Ming and Melvin Hunter who had returned in vain, Wang Zhen and Song Feng returned to China in late July. The two boys who had been away for half a year, the moment they set foot on the land of BJ Airport, He even yelled excitedly before being taken out of the airport by the national team's assistant coach Qiu Zhi through a special passage.
