Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The next day, Zhuang Yu's biological clock woke him up early.

Naturally, there was no way to train here, but he didn't give up completely. He did a set of free-hand exercises as a way to maintain his physical condition.

After breakfast, the phone rang.

When I picked up the phone, it was an unfamiliar number.

Zhuang Yu's heart moved, and he knew it might be the person Uncle Zhou mentioned yesterday, so he immediately pressed the answer button: "Hello, I'm Zhuang Yu, who are you?"

A deep voice came from the other end: "Hello, I am Yao Ming."

Who?

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he was being electrocuted. He couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute, who did you just say you were?"

"I'm Yao Ming, now the owner of the Sharks Club." The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little joking, "This is not a scam call."

"Uh..." Zhuang Yu was speechless.

If Zhou Zhiming hadn't said hello in advance yesterday, he would have really thought it was a scam call. Are you kidding me? Isn't the owner of the Sharks Club the "Mobile Great Wall" and the number one player in Chinese basketball, Yao Ming?

There is no problem in saying that Yao Ming is the number one player in Chinese basketball, even though he has retired now, and even though besides him, there are several other Chinese players who have entered the NBA.

But he is the only one who has truly established himself in the NBA, become a core player of the team, and even been selected as an All-Star.

For decades, only he can become the living business card of Chinese basketball!

Zhuang Yu took a deep breath to calm down, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Hello, I'm glad to receive your call. Do you have anything to do with me?"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Ming stopped teasing Zhuang Yu: "That's right, I met Mr. Zhou Zhiming before and talked about you with him and Director Gong. I also watched your game between UCLA and the University of Kansas before, and I I think you’re great and I’d like to meet you, is that convenient?”

Isn't this convenient?

Zhuang Yu immediately agreed: "It's convenient."

"I heard that you are in Shanghai. Are you free today? Let's have a meal together?"

"Can I bring a friend?"

"girlfriend?"

"Uh......"

"No problem." Yao Ming's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I will send a car to pick you up at eleven o'clock. Where is your friend? Do you need me to have someone pick her up?"

Although he is a former NBA superstar, the number one basketball player in China, and now the owner of the Sharks Club, and is famous and wealthy, Yao Ming speaks in a humorous manner without any sense of arrogance.

This made Zhuang Yu very comfortable, and the tension in his heart also weakened a lot. He replied: "No, I will pick her up myself. See you at noon."

"See you at noon."

Click.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yu still couldn't recover.

It's actually him, it's Yao Ming.

"No wonder Uncle Zhou refused to tell me..." Zhuang Yu didn't know how to complain. Did Uncle Zhou want to give me a surprise?

As a basketball player, a Chinese basketball player, it is impossible not to know about Yao Ming. Especially after Zhuang Yu went to the United States, he could better understand how great Yao Ming is.

In such a country, in a jungle of muscles, in the NBA where geniuses from all over the world gather, it is really not something that ordinary people can do to make a mark.

what?

You said Yao Ming is just tall.

Oh, for basketball, being tall is talent, but talent is not just about being tall, nor does it mean that you can play in the NBA as long as you are tall.

There are too many tall people in the world, and there are many people taller than Yao, but why is there only one Yao in the world?

Height, athletic ability, basketball IQ, hard work...Basketball is a sport that requires talent, but becoming a superstar requires more than just talent.

What's more, Yao Ming did more than just raise a Chinese flag in the NBA. He made contributions to the national team, won honors for the country, and led the Chinese men's basketball team to reach the top eight of the Olympic Games in 08, winning time and time again. He led the national team to battle on the international stage, but never complained... These are what makes him truly great.

And now, Yao Ming actually wants to treat himself to dinner.

This was indeed a bit dreamy for Zhuang Yu, but he quickly calmed down. First he called An Xin and said he would go find her later, and then dialed Zhou Zhiming's number.

When the call was connected, Zhuang Yu said: "Uncle Zhou, Yao Ming called me and asked me to have dinner. I have already agreed."

"Yeah." Zhou Zhiming's voice came over the phone, and he said, "You want to ask, what does he want to see you for?"

Zhuang Yu looked solemn: "I understand."

Zhou Zhiming mentioned this to him before returning to China. Zhou Zhiming hoped that he could join the national team, win glory for the country, and do his part for Chinese basketball.

But he repeatedly told Zhuang Yu that joining the national team is to win glory for the country, to serve the motherland, and as a Chinese responsibility. He does not need any benefits, but he will never accept any exploitation.

This is to serve the motherland, not to serve a certain person or organization.

At the end, Zhou Zhiming said sincerely: "I didn't want to tell you this before, because I didn't want to put pressure on you, and I didn't want you to be exposed to things that were not on the table too early. But you are growing up very fast, and you will need to be exposed to these things one day. Zhuang Yu, do you blame Uncle Zhou?"

"Why do you blame me?" Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "You mean joining the national team? Of course not. Winning glory for the country is also my honor."

"That's not it, I mean..." Zhou Zhiming said.

Knowing what he was going to say, Zhuang Yu interrupted with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, I know what it means to fight against those people and the system. I will become an alternative, offend people, and be misunderstood by some people." It’s not tolerated. But I’m not afraid. Someone has to stand up, right? Others are stuck in the quagmire, but I’m different. I didn’t come from the youth training system, and I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to play in the CBA.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then there was a voice. Zhou Zhiming's voice seemed to be more relaxed: "Yes, you are different from them. You are not afraid of not being able to play in the CBA, and you don't need to play in the CBA. Your future is in the NBA." .”

Zhuang Yu said sincerely: "Uncle Zhou, thank you."

If Zhou Zhiming hadn't been there, he might have chosen a certain youth team. Once he entered the youth team, he would have entered the system, and it would not be easy to figure it out later.

Only now did Zhuang Yu understand why Zhou Zhiming persuaded him not to join the youth team, but spent so much effort to send him abroad.

Only if he does not join the youth team, enter the system, or play in the CBA can he not be held hostage and be able to fight against certain injustices.

Therefore, he is sincerely grateful to Zhou Zhiming. As long as Zhou Zhiming insists that he join the national team, he will agree even if he really has to pay something.

But even if he was willing, Zhou Zhiming didn't want him to be wronged. The relationship between the two of them had already been like that of family members.
