I am so Accurate

In addition to Yi Jianlian, there is another person who performed very well, not Wang Zhizhi or Battelle, but Zhu Fangyu.

Yi Jianlian's excellent state forced the Iranian team to double-team him in the second half.

At this time, whether the Chinese team can make shots from outside becomes very critical.

Zhu Fangyu stood up.

He continued his excellent form in the CBA. He made 4 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 14 points, the team's second-highest score, with 2 free throws!

After the game, the Chinese team was celebrating in the locker room, and a group of people were celebrating around Yi Jianlian.

Although the Chinese team has always been very dominant in Asia in the past, especially after Sun Hao and Yao Ming played one after another.

But they were not there in this game, and the game was very suspenseful in the first half. After winning, the players were naturally excited.

Zhu Fangyu played very hard, and now she was sitting there panting and giggling while watching her teammates celebrate.

At this moment, Sun Hao came in, reached out with a smile and knocked on the door.

"Brother Hao."

Yi Jianlian was the first to go up to say hello when he found out, and Zhu Fangyu also got up.

A group of people quickly surrounded Sun Hao.

Don't tell me, Sun Hao is a steady leader of the national team.

"The champion is secured."

Sun Hao reached out and beat Yi Jianlian's chest vigorously.

The reason why he appeared in Qatar was to cheer for the Chinese team and to worry about Yi Jianlian's performance.

After all, this is the first time Yi Jianlian has participated as the absolute core of the national team.

Judging from tonight's game, his worries are unnecessary.

Yi Jianlian is no longer the Yi Jianlian in history, he can already be alone!

After chatting with the team members for a while, Sun Hao set his sights on Zhu Fangyu.

"Good performance."

Sun Hao also stretched out his hand and beat Zhu Fangyu's chest.

Even if he and Yao Ming are absent, the Chinese team still has Yi Jianlian, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi, which can be regarded as star-studded.

But Zhu Fangyu's performance tonight is second only to Yi Jianlian, and the word "good" is fully worthy of it.

Zhu Fangyu smiled and lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Tough guys also have a tender side, Zhu Fangyu is still a little shy in front of Sun Hao.

"Come on, go out and have a cup of coffee."

There is no tea in Qatar, but coffee is available.

After Zhu Fangyu took a shower, he went out for coffee with Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian.

Qatar is a typical Middle Eastern country. It is small in size but rich in oil and natural gas. Its economy is quite developed, and its high-rise buildings are comparable to that of Dubai next door.

Finding a high-end and quiet coffee shop to sit down, Sun Hao chatted with them one after another.

Soon, Sun Hao talked about Zhu Fangyu being selected.

"You have to work hard for the next game. If you continue to perform like this, the Lakers will definitely invite you to try out."

Sun Hao said to Zhu Fangyu with a smile.

Although he said hello to Kupchak about things like trial training, the latter would definitely not refuse.

But for anything, what you give is different from what you get.

And it's not just the difference in this aspect. A good performance in the Asian Championships will also help Zhu Fangyu's self-confidence, which will be beneficial to his subsequent trial training.

After all, the trial training is just an opportunity. If you don't participate, it means that you will definitely be able to sign a contract with the Lakers, and you have to fight for it yourself.

"Brother Hao."

But at this moment, Zhu Fangyu's expression suddenly became serious.

Sun Hao looked at him suspiciously.

"Do you really think I can make it to the NBA?"

When Zhu Fangyu said this, he obviously lacked confidence.

"Why not?"

Sun Hao asked back.

At this moment, he realized that Zhu Fangyu's self-confidence was much lower than he imagined.

"As far as my talent is concerned, I know the Lakers will pick me. You must have said hello, I..."

"etc."

Sun Hao interrupted Zhu Fangyu.

"Why do you think I said hello to the Lakers, and the team chose you?"

He really didn't expect Zhu Fangyu to think so.

"Then why did they choose me?"

"You misunderstood Brother Hao, he was at the draft with me that day."

Yi Jianlian said from the side.

"Are you underestimating your brother Hao's ability too much? If you really say hello, do you think you can fall to the 60th pick?"

Sun Hao also said with a smile.

Zhu Fangyu stretched out his hand and scratched his head when he heard it, as if he really misunderstood.

"But I can't go to the Lakers. You see, I have to fight for the opportunity to try out, and the Lakers are going to compete for the championship. There is no reason for me."

Zhu Fangyu's next words fully revealed his current thinking: Although he was selected, he didn't think it was possible for him to go to the Lakers at all.

This is actually a very normal idea. The rookie selected by the championship team with the 60th overall pick means something.

As for what Sun Hao told him before, he didn't think he could compete with Ginobili either.

Ginobili's era was very different from his.

At that time, the information was not developed, and the Spurs purely relied on the ability of overseas scouts to pick up the leaks.

But now, he is still very clear about how much he weighs.

It was also at this time that Sun Hao knew Zhu Fangyu's truest thoughts.

This is still somewhat different from what he imagined.

After all, the scene of Zhu Fangyu punching on the field made him too impressed.

"Xiao Zhu, I think what you said is fine, but there is something I think you should listen to."

When Sun Hao said this, not only Zhu Fangyu, but even Yi Jianlian looked at him curiously.

"If you don't try it, you may not know how good you are."

What Sun Hao said will be defined as poisonous chicken soup by many people in the future, but in fact this sentence is very true.

Many times, what people are afraid of is not that they don't have the ability, but that they don't even have the courage to try.

If you try, the chance may be less than 1%, but if you don't try, the chance will always be zero.

More importantly, people often don't know how strong they can be when they push themselves.

"Brother Hao, stop teasing me, I..."

"Zhu Fangyu."

Sun Hao interrupted Zhu Fangyu again, and even changed his address.

"You don't hesitate to fight with others on the court, but you have no courage at all in the NBA? If you still can't do it, you can continue to practice in the CBA and try again next year. If you can't do it next year, then next year."

Sun Hao looked directly at Zhu Fangyu and said.

This is what Ding Yanyuhang did in history. He doesn't think that Zhu Fangyu's talent is worse than Ding Yanyuhang's. What's more, he trained with him before, and Zhu Fangyu is stronger than the same period in history.

Zhu Fangyu was stunned for a while, and finally gritted her teeth.

"Okay, isn't it just an NBA!"

Isn't it just an NBA! Sun Hao's provocative method worked!

Everyone has different personalities, and Zhu Fangyu is obviously the kind who is easy to get on top of, otherwise he wouldn't be unequivocally fighting with others on the court.

These words of Sun Hao are very accurate.

"That's how it should be. You count how many Chinese are playing in the NBA, but you are short of a striker. You have to be the number one."

Sun Hao smiled and patted Zhu Fangyu on the shoulder.

He really hoped that Zhu Fangyu could go to the NBA to be his younger brother and thug.

Zhu Fangyu nodded.

Sun Hao has already said so, why should he hesitate!

...

Time flies, and it's late September in a blink of an eye.

The curtain of the Asian Championships has fallen, and the Chinese team finally won the Asian Championships as in history, and qualified for the 2006 World Championships.

You read that right, the Asian Championships at this time are directly linked to the World Championships and Olympic qualifications, so this time the championship is also of great significance to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Because this means that Sun Hao and Yao Ming will not be able to come to the Asian competitions in the future.

Even, it may be that after more Chinese players enter the NBA in the future, Yi Jianlian will not be used anymore.

This is a very virtuous circle.

With his average performance of 23.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, Yi Jianlian was successfully elected as the MVP of the Asian Championships.

Don't ask why there are so few rebounds. Harris has been using Yi Jianlian as a small forward. It would be strange if there were more rebounds.

In addition, Zhu Fangyu's performance is also quite good.

He averaged 11.4 points per game, second only to Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi in the team.

More importantly, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 53%!

Although the intensity of the Asian Championships is not as high as that of the international competitions, this hit rate is still very telling.

The most direct point is that after the Asian Championships, Zhu Fangyu successfully received the Lakers' invitation to try out.

As long as O'Neal is around, the Lakers need a stable outside shooter, which was evident last season.

So three points is the most direct reason why they chose Zhu Fangyu.

And Zhu Fangyu's stable performance in the outside line of the Asian Championships is also the reason why they decided to give Zhu Fangyu a trial training opportunity at this time.

And this timing is also critical.

At this time, the training camps of each team started one after another, including the Lakers.

After the Lakers completed a batch of signings in the summer, the team roster has basically been set:

Point guards: Sun Hao, Payton, Lou Williams

Shooting Guard: Finley, Christie, Damon Jones

Small forwards: Ariza, Horry

Power forwards: Walker, Brian Cook, Toni Kukoc

Center: O'Neal, Mourning, Anderson

14 people are guaranteed contracts, and the remaining one is the 15th person of the team.

However, the Lakers paid more attention to Zhu Fangyu and arranged a separate trial for him before the team's training session.

Both Kupchak and Phil Jackson were there.

This kind of treatment for a second-round pick is inseparable from his status as a Chinese player and Sun Hao's teammates in the national team.

This is also an attitude of the Lakers: they will attach great importance to everything about Sun Hao.

Some players came earlier, and they watched curiously from the sidelines during Zhu Fangyu's trial training.

Most of them don't know who Zhu Fangyu is, but seeing a player with the same skin color as Sun Hao in Los Angeles is a very interesting thing in itself.

And looking all the way, they found that the performance of the Chinese was not bad.

This is a matter of self-confidence. The self-confidence that Zhu Fangyu built in the Asian Championships made him dare to make moves even when he was on the Lakers.

Sun Hao was there from the very beginning, and he was still very concerned about Zhu Fangyu's trial training.

After reading it, he felt that Zhu Fangyu had a good chance.

Just as the trial training was about to end, the Lakers players arrived one after another.

"Antoine."

At this moment, Phil Jackson suddenly called Walker.

Walker passed by shaking his big ass.

Speaking of Walker, this guy's ass is aligned with Barkley.

This makes him only 2.06 meters tall, but it is common to have double rebounds when swinging as a power forward.

There is also the famous hip-twisting celebration, which can be called one of the NBA's representative celebrations.

Of course, Jackson didn't ask Walker to show off his ass at this time, he wanted Walker and Zhu Fangyu to compare three points.

This sounds incredible at first glance.

Walker is a former All-Star at any rate, and even if the market turns bad, he is a proper NBA-level starter.

Now let him compete for three-pointers against a guy who may not even make it in the NBA. This is a bit of "looking down" on him.

But this also clearly shows Jackson's means, he is giving Walker a blow.

The result of this game is not important, what is important is an attitude.

Jackson dared to let Walker compete with a trial player for three-pointers in front of so many people, which means that if Walker throws three-pointers randomly during the game, he dared to replace him.

Walker was obviously upset, he held back his anger and competed with Zhu Fangyu for a three-pointer.

In the end, Zhu Fangyu actually won!

5 points, Zhu Fangyu scored 20 of 25 goals, and Walker only scored 16!

Walker lost face.

Jackson nodded with satisfaction at this time.

He succeeded in giving Walker a bad start, and he found that Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer was really good.

Especially under Sun Hao's original suggestion, Zhu Fangyu's three-point shooting rate was significantly faster than in history, which gave him the opportunity to adapt to NBA-level games.

"Yellow-skinned, another game?"

Of course, Walker couldn't hold back his face anymore, he shouted at Zhu Fangyu.

Jackson originally wanted to stop it, but he didn't expect Zhu Fangyu's reaction to be faster than him.

"One more game, but I still win."

This is, excited.

Sun Hao also enjoyed watching it.

Compared to the guy in the coffee shop who didn't even dare to think about the NBA, this guy in front of him looks more like the Zhu Ba Iron Fist he knew.

Zhu Fangyu agreed, and Jackson didn't stop her.

The two quickly competed in the second game, but this time Walker won.

Walker scored 22 of 25 goals, and Zhu Fangyu scored 19.

Don't look at Walker being criticized for three-pointers, but that's relative. In the first game, he obviously underestimated the enemy. Seriously, his level is also at the NBA level.

After winning, Walker made his signature hip-twisting celebration at Zhu Fangyu.

This action is very provocative.

"Dark-skinned, another game?"

Then, Zhu Fangyu yelled at Walker.

He didn't use sensitive words like "that", but he obviously learned English well, and he just insisted.

Walker froze for a moment.

The only Chinese players he knows are those who play in the NBA, and there are no matchups.

Zhu Fangyu's reaction gave him a feeling: Are all Chinese players so tough?

However, this was exactly what he wanted, and he wished he could win a few more times.

"enough."

But Jackson terminated the two at this time.

If he didn't call to stop, with the characters shown by the two of them, they could continue to work until the end of the training.

"Zhu, you can train with the team later."

Zhu Fangyu was a little dissatisfied at first, after all, he had just been brought back by someone, but what Jackson said next made him a little unbelievable.

This is, treating him as a "Laker"?

Of course, Zhu Fangyu thought a little too much.

Jackson just wanted to see Zhu Fangyu's other abilities.

For example, half-court versus full-court confrontation.

ps: It's a little better after hanging the salt water, but I can't write too much because of the headache, sorry
