NBA Backer King

  Chapter 99 What do I want a green card for?

   The next day, the 28th.

   On this day, a large number of sports media in the United States have news about "basket collectors", and many of them are front-page headlines.

   took off five baskets from the opponent in a row, and successfully collected four of them. Wang Tiejun's brutal name has spread throughout the NBA league and the American sports world.

   At noon, Zhang Heli's plane also arrived in Los Angeles.

  Meanwhile, the Spurs arrived in Phoenix and were interviewed by the media at the hotel.

   "Mr. Robinson, old K thinks you beat him by the referee factor. Do you have any excuse for this?"

   asked a Phoenix Sports reporter.

  Robinson said disdainfully: "That is the referee's penalty measure, what does it have to do with me? Only those who have no strength will find reasons and excuses for their failures."

   "Then how do you respond to his 'soft egg' evaluation of you?" The reporter asked again.

  Robinson's eyes flashed coldly, and his heart was extremely angry, but he still maintained a gentleman's demeanor and said generously: "I will not respond positively to a person who is obsessed with violence, or to a person who has not received a high-level coach.

  According to media information, that rookie has only read China's junior high school, which is the eighth grade of our primary school, and my upbringing told me to keep your mentality and not be influenced by those ignorant and inferior people. "

   "I got a secondary school degree from the CZ City Sports School. Who said I only read junior high school? You idiot."

  Wang Tiejun couldn't help but feel indignant when he saw this interview from the TV media. This fellow Robinson deliberately discredited him and dwarfed his education.

   He didn't know that the United States did not recognize China's school education at all, so his education in the United States was only junior high school.

   However, he also knows that he has not studied enough and is looked down upon by others, so now he supports his two sisters to go to college at all costs.

   After the sisters graduate from college, he still wants them to study abroad, but it depends on whether they are willing or not.

   At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Lili arrived.

  Wang Tiejun called a taxi and rushed to the airport to pick him up. He had a lot of luggage, just two barrels of medicated oil weighed 160 pounds.

   As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Lili saw the huge wooden stake in the yard before he got out of the car.

   "Tie Jun, this thing is the wooden stake you rely on to train Tieshan? It's so big, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" He said in surprise.

   "Don't be afraid, I'm familiar with the job of hitting a wooden stake. I haven't practiced any other martial arts, so I've practiced it." Wang Tiejun didn't care about the tunnel.

   First got off the things, and then sent the driver, and the two people moved things into the house.

Most of the things are miscellaneous things that he brought at home. No matter what he needs now or not, the family brings him a lot. Just like when he was in Cangzhou and the sports school, no matter how difficult it was at home, food and drink What he wears and what he wears is tight to him.

   "These are the cloth shoes that your mother and your two sisters made for you. I have seen them. They are quite thick."

All the    were brought in, Zhang Lili helped organize them, first brought a cloth bag, and after opening it, there were more than ten pairs of cloth shoes inside.

   "I used to only wear this when I was in the SJZ provincial team. It cost a lot of shoes to play. My mother and my sister made shoes for me at home every night." Wang Tiejun laughed.

   "This is the bacon and salted fish for the Chinese New Year. You don't have much at home, and you can't bear to eat it, so I brought it all for you. You have to hang this thing and put it in the refrigerator, so it doesn't go bad."

   Zhang Reasonable took another big bag.

   "At this time of the year, it was the same at home. They were reluctant to eat, and they were all close to me." Wang Tiejun laughed.

   Zhang Lili said: "When I saw your parents and sisters, they were very thin."

  Wang Tiejun smiled and said with red eyes: "They have always been like this. My sisters grew up hungry. The family expenses are too high.

I remember when I was young, the conditions in my family were worse than in previous years, so I was alone. When I saw my sisters were very hungry, I quietly gave them some food. My dad found out and beat them several times. If I keep it for them, they will not dare to eat it. "

   "It's alright now, you can be considered outstanding, you can repay them." Zhang Lili nodded.

"To succeed?"

  Wang Tiejun smiled. He knew in his heart that if it wasn't for the system, he might still be working as a black worker in New York, and maybe one day he would be dragged into the water by the Fuqing Gang in Manhattan's Chinatown and become a gang member, who often pestered him.

He knows a little bit about the gang, who specially smuggled people from Fujian to the United States at a cost of 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars per person. Most of Manhattan's Chinatown is smuggled from Fuzhou. That street is also called Little Fuzhou, which is why it came here. .

   Speaking of coming to the United States, he has to thank the embezzler who taught him English in the prison. If he hadn't arranged for help, he, a poor ghost who just got out of the prison, would have been able to get a visa to come to the United States? And he was given a stay period of up to six months, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come to the United States, and he would not be able to pay the money.

   After finishing things, Zhang Lili said, "Tie Jun, come on, let's talk first."

   "What's the matter?"

  Wang Tiejun saw Lao Zhang's face, which was not very good, and he murmured in his heart.

   Zhang Lili said: "Look, the contract you gave me is a trainer's contract, we agreed, but what did you say on the phone, you want me to do errands now?"

   Comrade Lao Wang laughed and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, joking, joking, don't worry, it must be a trainer, I still need you to teach me a lot of center skills."

  Zhang nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "That is, with your skills, if you want to shoot without shooting, and if you want to have no pace, you know how to fight hard. I can definitely teach you a lot."

   "But Brother Zhang, you are a second center, and you know center skills?" Wang Tiejun asked suspiciously.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The second center is also a center, can I understand it? It's not me, when I played, few insiders in Asia were my opponents. I'm still the coach of the national team and the former head coach of the BJ youth team. , can you bring a fake?"

   "Xingxing, Brother Zhang, as long as you work by my side for a year or two, when I'm in the NBA, I'll make a name for you. Maybe you can enter the NBA as a trainer." Wang Tiejun laughed.

   These words made Zhang Lili excited, the Tiejun boy is really loyal enough, this buddy can handle it.

  Whether he is a team trainer or a personal trainer, he can, as long as he can continue to work in this industry, he does not choose.

   However, he still has an idea in his mind, it would be great if Tiejun can reverse the case, so that if Tiejun joins the national team, he may have the opportunity to return to the national team.

   A few years ago, he was defeated by the United States because he failed to compete for the national team head coach. Otherwise, the domestic development was good, who came here?

Wang Tiejun then took out a few pages of paper with three training contents, strength, flexibility, coordination, which are all systematic training contents, and handed it to Zhang Lili, saying, "Brother Zhang, this is my current personal training. Content, please supervise me how An An arranges the training time.

   These three exercises, each of which has a requirement, maintain at least one hour of training volume every day. "

   "Did the trainer of the Suns give you this thing?" Zhang Lili took it and asked.

   "Well, yes." Wang Tiejun fooled.

   Zhang Liliang took a closer look and felt that he could not pick out any faults. He even felt that the level of the training content was much higher than his, and he was a little embarrassed:

   "It seems that I still have to study. The training level in China is not as good as that in the United States. I also worked at the University of Chicago for a few years and learned some things. Looking at it now, it is still far behind."

Wang Tiejun smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, you just need to urge me to complete this content. In addition, I will add some training content in the future, such as speed, such as shooting, low-post training, defense, etc., you can give me Make a corresponding training plan, and then I ask the trainer of the Suns to give me a copy, so I can compare and see who is better."

After chatting for a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Zhang, you have been in the United States for several years, have you obtained a green card?"

   Zhang Lili shook his head and said, "It's not easy to apply for a green card, I don't have that stuff. Are you asking this, do you want to apply for a green card? That's right, with a green card, you don't need a passport, you can enter and leave the United States freely."

   "Is a green card an immigrant?"

  Pharaoh doesn’t understand this either. He doesn’t want to immigrate, but he doesn’t have a green card. He has to apply for residency every few months, which is also very troublesome.

"Of course not. A green card is a permanent residence permit. Your nationality is still China, not an immigrant. However, with a green card, the U.S. government can legally tax your global assets. You have to be careful. Stop tax evasion, it will be very troublesome to be targeted by the US tax bureau."

   "What does global asset taxation mean?" Lao Wang was a little confused.

   "That is, your domestic assets must also be taxed in the United States." Lao Zhang explained.

   "I entered, so what do I want a green card for?" Pharaoh quit immediately, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​applying for a green card, and stopped asking questions.

The two chatted for about half an hour, Wang Tiejun looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and he said with a smile: "What, Brother Zhang, it's dinner time, let's save a little bit, let's just stay at home, I'll take a look at you Just know that the work in the kitchen must be a good hand."

   "Looks like I have to work part-time as a nanny!" Zhang Lili got up with a wry smile and went to cook.

   No. 29, match day.

   In the morning, Wang Tiejun and Zhang Lili went to a car dealership and picked out a Ford SUV with a large space. According to what Buckley said, it was cheaper than an off-road vehicle, and it did not consume as much fuel, which was suitable for his needs now.

   "Brother Zhang, let's go, let's practice driving."

   At ten o'clock, the formalities were completed, and Comrade Pharaoh sat happily in the co-pilot seat.

   "Okay, let's do a few laps." Zhang Lili laughed.

   The two of them drove their car to the east, and when they reached the city, Comrade Lao Wang stopped the car and replaced him.

   "That Tiejun, do you know how to drive? I don't have a secondary brake here." Zhang Lili sat in the co-pilot seat nervously, holding the handbrake with his left hand.

   "It's alright, look at me, I used to play in the provincial team." Wang Tiejun said confidently.

"That's good."

   Zhang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, but the handbrake was still in his hand.

   "Brother Zhang, do you know Ma Jian?" Wang Tiejun said while turning on the accelerator while releasing the clutch.

"I have seen him from the HEB provincial team. When I coached the BJ youth team, he played in the Hebei youth team. Later, when he entered the national team, I had already come to the United States. Oh yes, you are teammates. "Zhang Li said.

The car slowly moved forward, Wang Tiejun shook his head and said, "It's a teammate. When I joined the provincial team at the end of 1989, he had already gone to the national team and didn't stay in the provincial team much. I didn't stay in the provincial team for a long time before an accident happened. Never met him."

   Zhang Lili said: "After he played in the Olympics last year, I heard that he also came to the United States, do you know?"

  Wang Tiejun was startled, shook his head and said, "I don't know, after my accident last year, I didn't return to the provincial team, and came directly to the United States."

   "Then why did you mention him?" Zhang Heli said with a little doubt.

"Oh, he went to the national team, and a scrapped broken jeep was thrown at the provincial team. I used his car to practice. Speaking of his car, the space was small. I was two meters tall at that time and had a physique. It is also a circle smaller than it is now, and it was difficult to put it in. By the way, do you know where he is hanging out?" Wang Tiejun said.

   "I don't know this, if you want to know, can I contact Liu Chu for you?" Zhang Lili asked.

   "Which Liu Chu?"

   "It's Liu Yumin, who used to be a member of the National Women's Basketball Team, and is now the deputy director of the Basketball Division of the Sports Commission. He may be promoted to the director soon to be in charge of all domestic basketball affairs." Zhang Li explained.

"Brother Zhang, you know all the high-ranking officials! Okay, you can ask me. I don't know anyone here. Ma Jian is here. Let's get in touch and take care of them." Wang Tiejun road.

   "Okay, this is easy." Zhang Li said.

  Wang Tiejun smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you already know Director Liu, can you help me ask, can I have a chance to enter the national team with my current strength?"

Zhang Lili hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said: "No, Tie Jun, you are indeed still in the heat, and you are not too old. Let's wait two more years, and then wait a few years. Anyway, the Olympic Games have just passed, and there are still four years for the next Olympic Games. Woolen cloth."

   "That's alright, then you can tell me, I play in the United States, I'm afraid that no basketball department knows my name."

  Wang Tiejun nodded helplessly.

When he was born, the first generation of leaders was still there. When he was young, he received a collectivist education. The sense of collective honor is very important. As a Chinese, he can play for the country under the five-star red flag. For him, that Is the highest glory, very longing.

   Zhang Lili sighed secretly, he couldn't overturn the case, how could he possibly join the national team?

  Unless, unless Wang Tiejun's strength can really surpass those of the domestic centers by a large margin, and the performance of the men's basketball team also has problems, then it is possible to do special things.

   In terms of rules, there is actually no rule saying that people who have been in prison cannot join the national team. After all, the national team is not the army, it is just sports, and the trial is not so strict.

   To put it simply, Wang Tiejun wants to enter the national team, and his strength cannot decide everything, but it is only possible when he cannot do it without him.

   He doesn't want to talk about this now, for fear of irritating Wang Tiejun, because the steering wheel is in Wang Tiejun's hands, what should I do if the car rolls over?

   "Squeak!"

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun braked suddenly and the car came to a sudden stop.

   "Tie Jun, what are you doing with the emergency brake?"

   Zhang Lili jumped forward, if he hadn't pulled his seat belt, he would have slammed his head into the windshield, startling him, but when he looked ahead, there was no car?

   "Lying wipe, look, Brother Zhang, what is that?" Wang Tiejun shouted, pointing to Sha Feng in the distance.

   Zhang Lean looked at it, and it turned out to be a dog, no, it should be a wolf, about 200 meters away from them.

   "Go over and have a look?" Wang Tiejun said excitedly.

   "You want to feed the wolves? Hurry up, turn around, let's go back to the city. I tell you, this thing is a hoard, don't provoke them." Zhang Lili shouted.

   "It's really a nest."

  Wang Tiejun wanted to persevere, when he saw a few more wolves appeared behind the wolf, and quickly dismissed the previous thoughts.

   "Brother Zhang, I'm going to buy a gun and organize a team with Barkley to go hunting in the future."

   "You better stop, when the wolves chase you, they will only eat you, not them."

"why?"

   "Because you are the slowest runner."

   "I'm in. It turns out that Barkley and the others want to use this method to destroy me. It's too vicious!"

While chatting, slowly driving back to the city, Wang Tiejun said: "Brother Zhang, there is a game at night, let's go to the training base first. Last time, David Robinson made six offenses, you will see me tonight, I will Knock him out of the wound."

   "No, Tie Jun, it's time for dinner, why don't you make arrangements? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!" Zhang Lili said hurriedly.

   "Then what is the arrangement, go to the training base to eat." Wang Tiejun said.

   Zhang Lili was stunned for a while, then laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are so stingy! You are a player, you can go there to eat, what am I?"

   "No, I didn't say let you eat at the training base, I mean just buy you a hamburger on the way." Wang Tiejun laughed.

"Snapped!"

  Zhang Lili slapped Comrade Lao Wang on the back of the head with a slap, and scolded with a smile, "You eat a nutritious meal, then give me a hamburger?"

   "Look at me, I cover you with food and housing, and I have to pay you such a high salary. Is it easy for me?"

  In the end, Zhang still ate a hamburger. Phoenix doesn’t have any Chinese restaurants right now, and that’s all about foreign fast food.

   A little later, Wang Tiejun carefully drove his new car to the outside of the training base, a few dozen meters away from the gate.

   "Damn, why is it so slow?"

  Kevin Johnson drove his Ferrari to the back, saw the SUV in front was too slow, and slammed the accelerator down.

   "Boom!"

  Ferrari thumped the accelerator and overtook it, then slammed the brakes to a stop outside the gate.

   "Lying wipe!"

   This frightened Comrade Pharaoh, he stepped on the foot, the accelerator acted as the brake, and with a bang, he slammed into the Ferrari in front of him.

   "Shet!"

  Kevin Johnson was looking at the car behind from the mirror, his eyes widened when he saw this, and he was so frightened that he wanted to abandon the car and run away.

   "Squeak!"

   Zhang responded quickly. His hand was always on the handbrake, and he quickly pulled it up. The SUV screamed and stopped behind the Ferrari, only one foot away.

   "Hey boy, how do you drive your car? My car is worth three hundred thousand dollars. Who the **** are you? Come down and let me see."

  Kevin Johnson got down angrily, walked quickly to the side of the SUV, knocked on the window and shouted.

   "Old K?"

   The window rolled down, revealing a face that stunned him.

   "Kevin, **** it, you're almost at the door, what are you doing over me? You scared me and almost got into a car accident, you know?"

   Comrade Pharaoh was excited, grabbed Kevin Johnson's chest with his hands and pulled him over, spitting out his mouth.

"Damn, let me go. Old K, I didn't know it was you. If I knew, I would definitely not pass it. I'd rather wait a year later than pass your car. I won't risk my life to pass your car. Yes, you almost hit me just now."

  Kevin Johnson knocked off Pharaoh's hand and said in a bad mood.

   "Squeak!"

   Another car came from behind, it was Barkley's SUV, parked beside him.

   "Old K, have you bought a car? Yes, this car is very solid, suitable for beginners, and it doesn't feel bad if it crashes."

   Buckley shouted, and asked curiously: "But what are you doing here? There's another car coming from behind. It's Danny Angie's car."

  Pharaoh said angrily: "Kevin wants to drive in a different car with me. I'm a new car, so it's a bit of a loss, but he's my brother, so I finally agreed to avoid the hardship."

   "Who said that I would change cars with you, and you wouldn't be able to get in my car." Kevin Johnson hurriedly ran away, saying that his car was going to change owners.

"Ha ha…"

  Buckley and Pharaoh laughed.
