Chapter 347 A Scoring Machine With Killer Instinct
"If the NBA is suspended, will you sign with a CBA team or play in Europe?" Shao Ziqiang asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet. If the NBA is suspended for the entire season, maybe I will sign a one-year contract! If I really want to sign a contract, I will still choose to return to the CBA. Although the level of basketball in Europe is higher than that in China, I I am still used to the domestic basketball atmosphere, and I hope to take this opportunity to make the CBA games more enjoyable! However, the lockout will probably end before New Year’s Day, and it is impossible for the labor and management sides to be unable to agree! So I may not sign the contract , take this opportunity to conduct special training and improve your own strength!" Ying Xiong said.

Shao Ziqiang nodded and said: "It's good for you to take a long-term view. In my opinion, this suspension may not last the entire season. Next season's NBA will most likely be a shortened season."

"If I sign the CBA, it's the kind of contract that can return to the NBA at any time. If the NBA lockout is over and I go to the NBA to negotiate the contract, what about the CBA season here? I pat my ass and leave. There is a beginning and no end. I don’t want to do it. Unless the NBA is really suspended for the entire season, I’m still unlikely to sign that kind of contract with a CBA club.” Ying Xiong’s tone was full of firmness.

"If you sign with the CBA, which team would you prefer? It is said that the Arab League is likely to return to the Guangdong team." Shao Ziqiang asked.

"Under the same conditions, I would still prefer to join Guangsha. After all, this is the place where my career started." Ying Xiong's eyes seemed to have the light of memories, bringing him back to Guangsha When you hit the championship with your teammates.

"Big Bear, if you go back to CBA, won't you need me as an agent?" Li Jianwu asked.The meaning of his words is obvious: Ying Xiong plays in the CBA, and Bill Duffy, as his agent, will naturally be in charge of this business, so there is no difference between "Chinese agent" and "American agent".

Ying Xiong said speechlessly: "It is impossible for the NBA to be suspended forever. Of course, I need you to help me handle my personal affairs in China. Instead of worrying about this, why not think about how to deal with those teams that the CBA is interested in me for? In the future, you will have to come forward to discuss contracts with them or reject their intentions, my good brother!"

Li Jianwu didn't care about Ying Xiong's accusatory tone at all. His attention had long been on how to negotiate with the CBA clubs.He was very excited, knowing that he, a recent college graduate, actually had to talk directly with the general managers of those clubs, it was very exciting to think about it.

Here Li Jianwu talked excitedly with Sun Jing about his agent, and here Shao Ziqiang chatted with Ying Xiong about basketball.

"Ying Xiong, in my opinion, now you can survive in any basketball league, any tactical system, and any lineup configuration. There is no team that does not need a young impact 3D player, and you also have The vast Asian market." Shao Ziqiang said seriously.

Although Ying Xiong is modest, he also agrees with Shao Ziqiang's statement that he is now an excellent 3D player in the entire NBA.He didn't speak, knowing that Coach Shao Ziqiang hadn't finished speaking.

Shao Ziqiang continued: "Is it your goal to become an excellent 3D player, an excellent role player? Do you think your strength is just like this?"

Ying Xiong looked at Shao Ziqiang with deep meaning in his eyes, and said word by word: "Of course not, I can do more!"

Shao Ziqiang laughed suddenly, and then said: "Hehehe, Ying Xiong, you are indeed the most outstanding outside player in China. You must have this ambition, that is, you must have ambition. If you are content with the status quo, you will be happy if you are a little rich. Not worthy of being the pride of Chinese basketball."

"Coach, you already knew that I would not be content with the status quo!" Ying Xiong said slowly.

Shao Ziqiang nodded and said, "I've known since you told me that you rejected the Mavericks' middle class for many years and became a free agent."

"Alas—" Ying Xiong sighed, "If it wasn't for my lack of tactical status, I wouldn't have been useless for three seasons!"

Shao Ziqiang nodded, then shook his head again.

"Coach, do you think I'm wrong?" Ying Xiong's face was full of doubts.

Shao Ziqiang said seriously: "You are right, but this is something you can't control, isn't it? Thinking about it better, you have not gained nothing in the past few years. You have developed your off-ball ability and outside shooting Yes, this will be of great help to future development, won't it?"

Ying Xiong is a smart person, so naturally he knows everything.I practice off-ball and outside long-range shooting by myself, whether it is due to the pressure of living in the NBA or considering the future, but under the circumstances at that time, if I want to gain a foothold in the team and get a stable playing time, this is what I can do. The only way to go, otherwise I can only play the CBA in bed.A player with top-level off-the-ball ability and 3D attributes naturally has a natural advantage when developing into an outside star in the future.

As Ying Xiong's brows gradually relaxed, Shao Ziqiang smiled slightly. He knew that Ying Xiong had thought clearly.For his disciple, he is very relieved, because the other party is smart enough.

"Coach, what do you think I should do next? Should I go as a scorer like Kobe or as a playmaker like James?" Ying Xiong attached great importance to Shao Ziqiang's opinion, because he knew that the coach not only had advanced basketball concepts, but also had rich theoretical knowledge. , the most important thing is that he will not harm himself, and he is the coach who knows himself best.

Shao Ziqiang said seriously: "Ying Xiong, maybe you don't feel it yourself. Although you have excellent passing vision and organizational skills, you are essentially a scoring machine! Do you remember your scouting report? —— Yes The ability to score that has not been fully released, with killer instinct. I have to say that NBA scouts are too professional and excellent, and they can smell your killer instinct under your all-around appearance."

Ying Xiong was very surprised by Shao Ziqiang's words. He knew his scoring ability, but since junior high school, he has been a team-oriented point guard. Even in the NBA, he always thinks about cooperating with his teammates immediately.

Ying Xiong looked up at the gorgeous chandelier. Maybe the coach was right. In the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge and the World Championships and the Dream Team, when he entered the offensive mode, he was so hearty and vivid. unstoppable.

Maybe I am a scorer in essence, but I have been affected by the position I play and the concept of basketball, which makes me unable to see my true self.But the coach can see more clearly because the bystanders are clear.
