Chapter 52 Move
After listening to Ding Zili's words, everyone stopped talking and listened carefully. After all, one of the biggest gimmicks in this Cuba Finals is that the quasi-CBA players and quasi-NBA players lead the battle, which is also an important reason why a small Cuba Final can attract so many heavyweights.
Liu Chengwu said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I don't know this player either. I only learned about him by watching CCTV Sports Channel programs. Director Ren, you have interviewed him and you probably know more."
Ren Wenli smiled and said, "Indeed, this Jiang Jun can be said to be a sudden emergence. We didn't expect this player before. However, judging from the reporter's interview, this player still has great potential."
Wang Yaozu, vice chairman of the China College Students Sports Association, said happily: "No matter what, our Cuba has made some limelight this time. First of all, Tao Lei from the Jiangnan Division has performed well and is said to have signed a contract with the Jiangnan Provincial Team. If Jiang Jun really enters the NBA, he will be the first Cuba player to enter the NBA. This is even more epoch-making and has great significance."
Zheng Yuandong, deputy director in charge of basketball at the Jiangnan Provincial Sports Bureau, smiled and said: "A few days ago, Hu Chuanxin, the leader of our provincial team, also said that they had signed Tao Lei to find a treasure and were expected to become the leader of the provincial team in the next few years. If they discovered that Jiang Jun had more potential earlier, they might go and dig Jiang Jun. I wonder if they would regret it now."
Liu Chengwu nodded and said, "We must be willing to cultivate these good seedlings. For example, Jiang Jun, I hope that our province and schools can give the green light. Those unpleasant things happened in the past. I remember that fans have a lot of opinions about our Basketball Association when Wang Zhizhi happened."
Everyone was tacit about what Liu Chengwu said. In the past, players would always be obstructed by interest groups from all parties. In addition to the parent team, there were also provincial teams and even the National Basketball Association to get a piece of the pie. The players were just a lamb to be slaughtered, and everyone would take a bite.
Especially the Wang Zhizhi incident that year was a hot topic. As early as the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the young Wang Zhizhi began to emerge. A university in the United States immediately invited Wang Zhizhi to play in NCAA, but the Bayi team refused to let go. That year, Wang was less than 19 years old, which was the growth period. In the 1999 draft, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks, and Bayi and China team were not allowed. The year before, Nowitzki was also selected, and the German Basketball Association quickly let go. As for the situation at that time, Wang Zhizhi was not comparable to Nowitzki's skills and fame, but now, Nowitzki has grown into a superstar, and Wang Zhizhi has been completely eliminated. That year, Wang was 21 years old and still has a lot of room for growth.
In April 2001, after the Bayi team won the championship, Wang Zhizhi was finally released from the NBA. At that time, there were more than a dozen games left in the regular season. Wang's performance was eye-catching and he was immediately selected for the playoffs. After the game, Wang quickly flew straight to Moscow to participate in the public relations activities of the Chinese Olympic bid delegation, and sports stars such as Liu Xuan were accompanied by sports stars. When Samananchi announced that Beijing was successful, Wang Zhizhi was the first to jump from the back seat to cheer. After successfully bidding for the Olympic bid, Wang immediately went to Japan to participate in the East Asian Games with the Chinese men's basketball team. In that game, he lost to the Korean youth team, which was a shame and humiliated, setting the foreshadowing for the defeat in the Asian Games. He lost to the Australian team two later, but still won the championship. Wang Zhizhi scored first in the team.
Wang Zhizhi won glory for his country, participated in the Olympic bid, East Asian Games, Asian Basketball Championships, and World College Games, but he gave up the most critical summer training camp for him, the summer league and the initial matches of the new season. At the end of 2001, he returned to the Mavericks. At that time, more than a dozen games had started in the new season. Wang had not participated in the team's team's pre-season joint training and tactical exercises, so his playing time was not guaranteed. At that time, Nowitzki had grown into the absolute main force of the team, and the league's All-Star player, with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. Seeing that people who were originally inferior to him have now surpassed him in all aspects, who can understand Wang Zhizhi's pain and helplessness.
Wang Zhizhi never said anything that insulted the motherland, did things that harmed national interests, and never said that it did not represent the national team competition, nor did it talk about the big hat of treason. Wang Zhizhi just made a request that normal players had come up with, and wanted to stay and participate in the summer training camps and leagues that had been considered many times, and then join the national team in the United States to participate in the World Men's Basketball Championship. Because the contract between Wang Zhizhi and the Mavericks had expired at that time, and he urgently needed high football skills and found a new team. It was a time when he was bothered and troubled internally. Who could put himself in his shoes and think about it? That year, Wang Zhizhi was 25 years old.
From the age of 18 to 25, everyone understands how important these seven years are to the growth of a young athlete. When Nelson came to Beijing to pick up Wang Zhizhi in early 2001, he pointed out that Wang Zhizhi was almost not very good in the past two years.
He was once a teenager who chased the wind. He was once the best player in our Chinese team's offense. He was one of the important members of the Chinese men's basketball team to challenge the European and American powers. In the face of the "national interests" that some people deliberately claimed, Wang Zhizhi made a little legitimate request, but in the end he was severely sanctioned, even labeled as a treason, and was finally fired from the Chinese team. The one who suffered the biggest losses in the end was that we Chinese basketball, the vast number of basketball enthusiasts in China, and the real national interests.
Even Yao Ming later postponed the draft for at least one year because he did not lead the Shanghai team to win the championship. Of course, if he had run for the previous election, he might not have been the No. 1 pick, which is another matter.
To this day, many forums are still talking about Wang Zhizhi's shocking incident that year, which made the majority of fans sigh. Wang Zhizhi's introverted personality is not good at interacting with others, and his team also lacks keen judgment on crisis public relations, which are all aspects that have been criticized. But overall, some officials represented by the Basketball Association have been scolded by many fans.
So this time Yu Weiguo was able to speak so frankly, as a senior official of the Basketball Association, it is still valuable not to avoid being hiding.
"As long as the General Administration and the Basketball Association leaders agree to let the agreement, our province will never drag us down." Liu Chengwu stated.
Wang Yaozu also said: "I once called Coach Bian Kangxiong and he said that the school would release it unconditionally. There is absolutely no problem."
Ding Zili smiled and said, "The media is so powerful now. If we reveal a little bit of bad intentions, the media will immediately say that the basketball authorities obstruct the players. It seems that we really want this Jiang Jun thing. It's funny that my son is in the same dormitory as Jiang Jun. He often asks me some policy questions and warns me not to obstruct Jiang Jun from entering the NBA. Haha. What are these kids thinking about."
"Oh, such a coincidence, I knew that Young Master Ling was studying here, but I didn't expect that he would be in the same dormitory as Jiang Jun. This world is really small!" Liu Chengwu said happily.
In the early morning, a ray of sunrise shone on the playground on the Ningda campus.
Jiang Jun was full of energy and practiced all night, and still ran 10,000 meters in the morning. As the finals were about to begin in the afternoon, the other players agreed to have a good rest in order to save their physical fitness and did not come to run.
Jiang Jun is very confident in his physical fitness. He believes that he will have almost no negative impact on his body when running 10,000 meters. Seriousness means maintaining the body every day to maintain a better state.
Moreover, he found that after the marrow cleaning, the efficiency of breathing was much higher than before, and the speed of transforming from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into internal energy was also accelerated. Therefore, the internal energy in his dantian was extremely abundant, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.
Jiang Jun had no pressure on the upcoming finals. He came to the cafeteria and had a great meal. The master of the cafeteria also learned through various channels that this handsome guy was already a stolen figure in Ning Da and might have gone to the United States to fight for NBA, which was very kind to him.
Just kidding, this is a person who is about to become a superstar like Yao Ming. Every interaction with him now may be written into his memoir.
An ordinary person may also become wonderful if he comes into contact with one or several extraordinary people.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the campus suddenly became lively.
"When we are at an age that others envy, and when we are at an age that the future calls us, let us work hard to grasp the best time in our lives. Raise our hands and move, let our youth shine.
Cuba, let's come together!
Cuba, we are here!"
The radio station of the school student union rang out on time. The theme song of this cuba song was performed by Liu Huan, sometimes affectionately and sometimes generously.
Originally, as a weekend, it was the moment when many students slept in. In the past, if there were these "noises", they would definitely be called "psychopath". But today, no one thinks this theme is quarrel.
Because the campus bbs, radio stations, classmates, teachers and students have been talking about this rare Cuba Derby battle these two days.
What makes everyone even more excited is that Xu Ruoyan, secretary of the school’s Youth League Committee, also promoted it on various occasions. In order to express his concern for this final, the school’s Youth League Committee and the school student union will organize cheerleading teams to cheer on the scene. The cheerleader is the first school beauties Zhao Bingru!
This final also set a record: ticket sales to the public. In the past, Cuba's audience was all students, and basically did not sell tickets, which would not generate economic benefits. Moreover, it was a home and away game system, basically in the sports stadium of his own school. However, this derby was changed to a game to determine the winner and lose. Moreover, the location was also located in the Wutaishan Gymnasium in Jiangnan Province. This is the home base camp of the CBA powerhouse Jiangnan team, which can accommodate 20,000 seats.
After discussion, the Jiangnan Provincial Sports Bureau and the China College Students' Sports Association decided to adopt a market mechanism to operate, with ticket prices ranging from 60 yuan to 300 yuan. However, considering the consumption capacity of college students, it is stipulated that students can buy 50% off tickets with their student ID cards. In this way, the tickets will be sold out in a very short time. This was unimaginable in the past Cuba.
Wutaishan Gymnasium only charges a venue fee of 200,000 yuan, so the organizer still earns a small amount.
"At the age where health is not a problem for us, and at the age where victory or defeat is not bad for us, let us enjoy the best time in our lives. Run, we jump up, and let youth shine.
Cuba, let's come together!
Cuba, we are here!"
Jiang Jun felt a boiling feeling when he listened to this beautiful melody. He walked from Nanyuan to the gymnasium with light steps.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Zhao Bingru wearing short-strikes.
Chapter completed!
