Chapter 71

OK.The last time someone from China was led by an official from the Basketball Association, he came to discuss the national team with Wang Shipeng.

This year is the Olympic year, and it is also Wei Yuanli's first Olympic Games since he took office. Naturally, he deserves 12 points of attention.The domestic CBA league has shortened the schedule for this reason, and the national team will start training at the end of March.

But the current Chinese national team is different from before.Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng, the two core players, are both playing in the NBA in the United States, and they will return to China in April at the earliest.

What's more, the teams where the two are located are very likely to reach the playoffs this season.The Bulls are currently ranked sixth in the East, and the Houston team is also ranked sixth in the West. Their return time may have to be delayed.

Without the core, training is often not that effective.So the Basketball Association was very anxious, thinking about how to get the two of them back early.

But the result of communicating with the two was not very good.Both Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng said that they would report back to China two weeks after the end of the season.

In fact, Yao Ming didn't think so at first. He planned to return to China as soon as the playoffs were over. This is the once-in-four-year Olympic Games.

But Wang Shipeng's answer was very straightforward. After the playoffs, he will rest for two weeks before returning home.

Yao Ming also called Wang Shipeng to persuade him to return to China early.He didn't want to make a phone call but was persuaded by Wang Shipeng to change his mind.

"Brother Yao, you have to know that we played nearly 30 games in less than half a year, not when we only had [-] games in a season in China.

If there is no rest at the end of the season, I will return to China immediately to participate in the training camp.With the current domestic training methods that don’t talk about science and only talk about hard work, aren’t you afraid of getting hurt?Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood, Brother Yao. "

So the Basketball Association received news that the two refused to return to China early.

Wang Shipeng wondered while changing his clothes, could it be that his proposal was rejected by the Basketball Association before, and the country insisted on returning home with Yao Ming.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to come here." Walking into the reception room, Wang Shipeng's eyes lit up, and it was Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhenping who came, what a surprise.

"Hehe, Xiao Wang, what, are you surprised to see us?" Zhang Weiping cheerfully stood up and shook hands with Wang Shipeng.

"Of course, meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys in life."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and a 30-year-old young man came over: "Hello, Dapeng, I am a staff member of the Media Communication Office of the Basketball Association, and my name is Yang Le. This time I came to Chicago with Teacher Zhang. It is to bring a film crew to shoot a set of documentaries for you to use in the promotion of the Olympic Games. Please cooperate."

"Documentary?" Wang Shipeng frowned: "What is included? Who agreed for you to come?"

Originally, this was not too much to ask.Wang Shipeng didn't mind either.But the arrogant attitude of this guy named Yang Le made him unbearable.Who is used to the smelly problem.

"Dapeng, there won't be any special content, just take a picture of your daily life. Training, work, competition, etc." Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Zhang Weiping quickly interjected.

Zhang Weiping regretted it a little bit. If he had known that Wang Shipeng had such a good attitude towards him, he might as well have come by himself.These people from the Basketball Association are used to being bad in China. Don't they know that Wang Shipeng is not one of those domestic players who let them be slaughtered, not even Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Shipeng is an NBA All-Star player, a talented scorer who averaged 20+ per game in a rookie season.Now the country needs people to return to China to play games. I didn't see people saying that they have to rest for half a month before returning to China after the end of the season. Director Wei didn't say anything.If this is what Wang Zhizhi said, you try it?

"Well, yes, when will it start?" Wang Shipeng originally planned to refuse them to film their daily life, but he thought that this request was not too much, and Zhang Weiping had always been a basketball senior and commentator he liked very much, so Wang Shipeng finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's start working." Zhang Weiping was very active and ready to start.Of course he can see that Wang Shipeng is a very proud person, but Yang Le on the other side is also a proud person.Zhang Weiping didn't want the two to conflict, so he was ready to end the conversation.

But Yang Le didn't seem to appreciate it.Wang Shipeng knew that Yang Le should have other missions, even, I am afraid that what he will say next is the most important thing.

So Wang Shipeng also sat down: "No hurry, Director Zhang, you and Teacher Sun should find a place to rest first. I also need to prepare, and we can start tomorrow."

Looking at the two young men who were very young to him, Zhang Weiping knew that he no longer needed to participate in the next conversation.So he stayed and the film crew left the United Center. Naturally, staff from the Chinese Consulate in Chicago and the Bulls went to the hotel where they were staying.

"If you have anything to say, please speak directly." Wang Shipeng was not very willing to stay in the reception room and chat with officials from China.With this time, he might as well go to the court and make a few shots.In this regard, Wang Shipeng felt inferior to Yao Ming, so he would definitely not be able to be the chairman of the Basketball Association.

"Okay, Dapeng, I'm going to speak straight. The reason why I stayed is because Director Wei entrusted me to talk to you about Wang Zhizhi."

Wang Shipeng's eyes narrowed. After meeting Wang Zhizhi in Los Angeles during the all-star period, Wang Shipeng and Yao Ming contacted each other in China to help Wang Zhizhi return to China.

After such a long time, it is said that even if there are any domestic decisions, you should go to Houston.After all, Yao Ming took the lead in doing this.

"Please tell me." Wang Shipeng had such and such thoughts in his mind, but they didn't show them on his face.

"The news that you and Dayao have returned to China has been approved by the leaders. Wang Zhizhi's father-in-law has also spoken out. It can be said that there is no problem for him to return to China."

Wang Shipeng felt happy, this is exactly what he did for Yao Ming.Wang Zhizhi's father-in-law is a high-ranking general in the military, as long as he is asked to speak up for General, nothing will be resolved.

If it weren't for the general reluctance to ask the elderly for help, I'm afraid it would not be Wang Shipeng's turn to make a move.
