On February 15, it is rare that Zhang Hao can get his family together for the New Year. Wang Zhizhi also came from Sacramento, the capital of California next door to celebrate the New Year with Zhang Hao's family. Yao Ming was naturally with him, but Yao Ming brought someone, which made Wang Zhizhi envious and jealous - the center forward of the Chinese women's basketball youth team Ye Li.

Ye Li is receiving intensive training from professional coaches in the United States. The Chinese Blue Association is preparing for the Chinese Women's Basketball League. It has been happening in the past two or three years. The 18-year-old Ye Li is highly valued by domestic basketball people.

Wang Zhizhi performed well after the start of his rookie season, played 7 games, averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 13.3 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks, and in terms of technical characteristics, he was very co-starred with Weber and Peja. After three years of college, his skills were mature, that is, his combat power was excellent, and his singles ability was excellent. He averaged 1 three-pointer with a 37.1% three-point shooting percentage, and his ability to open up space and his passing ability was not that good. But under the leadership of Weber, he did a good job of high-level passes, and averaged 2.7 mistakes per game, which was a little bit broken, but other aspects were excellent. This flaw could be compensated in the future.

Moreover, the league is still promoting Wang Zhizhi's hope of "traditional center". Obviously, the league wants to open a window when the door is closed, and this operation has achieved certain results.

On February 25, the Los Angeles High School Basketball Championship ended. In 5 games, Yao Ming averaged 22.6 points, 17 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 6.2 blocks per game, helping Inglewood High School win the California championship again after three years.

What makes Zhang Hao the most annoying is that this season, Inglewood High School won all 35 games, won the championship in the cup, unbeaten in the league, and won the championship in the final championship...

In his senior year of high school, Yao Ming made great progress and almost all the awards in the California League were won over.

California basketball media said that if Yao Ming goes to high school students' training camp or All-Star this year and meets Chandler, Yao Ming plays more fiercely now, and Chandler, who is one year older, will be even more miserable...

But unfortunately, in June this year, Yao Ming was going to represent the Chinese men's basketball team to the 20th Asian Men's Basketball Championship held in Fukuoka, Japan. He will return home in April and have no time to abuse money again... No, it is to go to those activities to have cordial and good exchanges with other top high school students.

After entering February, Yao Ming received invitations from many universities. Judging from his performance, Yao Ming may be better than Wang Zhizhi's 18-year-old performance in the World Youth Championship. The main reason is that he plays high school students in the United States. Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi have already made the road ahead. Since he beat Chandler last summer, he has received more attention...

February 1st is the beginning of Zhang Hao’s official strike, and it has been almost a month since now.

Finally, on February 27, Zhang Hao welcomed the person he had been waiting for.

...

Because Jim Bass spoke unscrupulously, in the subsequent communication with Zhang Hao, Bass forbidden the children at home... in his 30s, he is not a child. He forbids those children who rely on the honor of the team's ancestors to communicate with Zhang Hao.

But it was not effective. Finally, when the first match month was about to end, Jenny Bass got his father's permission to meet Zhang Hao.

Old Bass looked for Zhang Hao, but he didn't see anyone. Jenny Bass saw him...

After a wave of greetings and chatting about recent life, Jenny Bass got to the point: "Aix, do you really plan to stop playing this season, right?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "I have a lot of things this year. I happened to encounter such a thing. I was going to take a year off. Actually, I didn't plan to do this at the beginning, but things have reached this point. I followed my fate's arrangement and decided to take a year off the season."

"Will you return next season?"

"Jenny, I think you should be the person the Lakers don't want me to return the most, right?"

"How is it possible? You are the greatest wealth of our team... Well, I can't hide it from you. Yes, judging from the current situation, it is very beneficial for me to refuse to come back... But, I really can't bear to leave our team with an excellent person like you, will there be any chance of cooperation in the future?"

"Maybe there will be, but not now."

"It's okay, you're still young, only 22 years old, I can afford to wait."

“…”

After a moment of speechlessness, Zhang Hao asked the question he was curious about: "How did you fool your silly brother?"

"I didn't ask him to say anything. In fact, when you express your dissatisfaction with the team, there are a lot of dissatisfaction with you in our internal meeting."

"I didn't say anything at that time."

"Yes, just because you didn't say anything, our family is guessing what you are thinking. This kind of thing often goes to the bad side. In the end, they treat what they think as real... Just like you said, we always think what you will think. In fact, I just told Jim when I was chatting with him that we can't lose face."

Now, Zhang Hao got to know.

He actually felt something was wrong at the beginning.

No matter how stupid Jim Bass is, he will not be so stupid.

But on the stupid basis, it would be normal to give him a goal.

After all, before being ousted, he also signed a garbage contract for Roll Deng and Mozgov, which was the only big boss who caused trouble for the family's industry.

However, even though he learned something was wrong, Zhang Hao chose to expand this because of other things...

After Jenny Buss finished speaking, he asked again: "Aix, are you really going to rest this season?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Isn't this what you want?"

"No, no, no, what I want to do must be based on the fact that you really want to take a year off, otherwise, I will push you back to the team and continue to be our star, you know, you are my favorite player."

Zhang Hao could hear Jenny Bass’s words, and they were sincere.

And it also conforms to common sense.

Judging from the O'Neal draft template, the Lakers' expectations for O'Neal are that he should have the strength of Barkley at the age of 34 or 35.

He, Zhang, is now 22 years old, and will have at least 10 years of golden period in the future.

In other words, in the next eight years, the double towers between Zhang and O'Neal will definitely be the strongest duo in the league. If you operate well, you will likely win half of the championships in the next seven or eight years.

Zhang Hao didn't play with it, and replied: "At least I won't prepare for a comeback this year. I have a training plan this year and prepare to return with a better posture next season."

"If that's the case, Aix, I want to make a deal with you."

"Trade?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but look up and down at Jenny Bass when he heard this...

"Little brother, if this is the case, there is no need to trade..."

"Ahem, talk about the serious matter!"

"If my sister was 10 years younger, she would definitely compete with April... Okay, let's talk about serious business, help me make Jim completely lose the opportunity to inherit the team, I will help you go to the team you want to go to. You should know that even if you retire, our contract will not shorten the time limit. If you really want to leave, only I can help you."

Finally, the conversation ended, Zhang Hao replied: "Jenny, that's your brother."

"But we are our best friends, I would rather help my friend. In my mind, you are my younger brother..."

...

...

Zhang Hao and Jenny Bass met at a private club without hiding it. Afterwards, Jenny Bass was interviewed and revealed that Zhang Hao was unwilling to continue playing in the Lakers because of Jim Bass. There was no room for discussion on this matter.

Zhang Hao confirmed this statement in a telephone interview with Charles Barkley.

But now there is a problem facing the Lakers - in order to ensure stability after the suspension, and in total, there are 50 games this season, the league and the players will discuss the deadline for this season's trading date on March 5, and there are only a few days to find a trading partner for the Lakers.

Jenny Buss selectively informed the league of some of the meetings and chats with Zhang Hao. The new labor-management agreement has just begun, and the league has been forced to break the convention and allow the Lakers to complete the transaction at any point in the following season, just like the Warriors did last season.

The purpose is only one - Zhang Hao cannot be retired!

Then, the media could not contact Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao's life entered his home - a hospital, a two-point and one-line life.

Another villa of Little Loli who moved to Beverly Hills was not only the larger house, but the medical level nearby was better, and the house here also had an indoor basketball court.

After Yao Ming finished his high school basketball career, he came to Zhang Hao's house to stay and train with Zhang Hao.

Seeing Zhang Hao practicing like this every day, Yao Ming felt his liver hurt!

This is what others call training!

Yao Ming also wanted to come with him... After practicing for a week, he chose to give up, and practice for 2 or 1 break...

Time passed day by day, and soon, on March 10, April Clark gave birth to a pair of twins. As the father and grandpa wanted, April Clark got it done in one go!

Just so happened, 3 days ago, on the 7th, Zhang Hao completed the third stage of defensive training, and he could spend a few days resting with April Clark for the next period of time.

The foundation of the first stage is the most difficult. The second and third stages are regional single-defense skills training, which is much simpler. Zhang Hao can complete 3-4 hours of training almost every day.

However, there are still 6 stages to be trained, even at the current progress, it will take 5 months. And according to Zhang Hao’s previous experience, the difficulty of the last two stages will not be smaller than that of the first stage, because the final stage training is completed, and it is time to force the lift.

To reach that level, you must at least have basic skills, skills, etc.

Zhang Hao has now made up his mind that since this is the case, he will complete this training and start next season and step onto the arena with a new attitude.

April Clark gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhang Hao, which was another big event. Zhang Hao was in hot news due to a strike.

During Zhang Hao's strike, the Lakers still paid Zhang Hao on the 8th and 18th of each month. The NBA official communicated with the NCAA to prevent Zhang Hao from actually going to the USC to be the head coach...

...

Blocked the troubles from the outside world. After the twins were born, Zhang Hao accompanied his family to rest for half a month, and at the end of March, he started training again.

By this time, no one had come to disturb him.

Yao Ming's training ended at this time. He had to go to the school to go through the procedures and meet with some university coaches. Before that, on March 31, Yao Ming came to Zhang Hao's house.

"Brother Hao, I'm very confused now. Should I go to college or go back to China to play A-level? Or just participate in the draft like you did?"

"You are different from me. You should polish your skills before entering the NBA. A and college are both good choices. Playing A A is just about playing against adults. Playing NCAA, you will have more training time and less chores. Each has its own benefits. It depends on you. The focus now is on what kind of player you want to become and develop in that direction in the next two or three years."

Yao Ming cared about this matter very much and replied: "Many media are saying that I will become the next Sabonis and become the O'Neal Terminator!"

"You aim to O'Neal? Be a heavy center against him?"

"Of course! He is the best center!"

"But you are not players of the same era at all!"

"ah?"

"In order to deal with O'Neal, you are developing towards a heavy center. Of course, your talent is capable of becoming a heavy dominant center. However, your talent, no matter what type of center you become, other centers cannot defend you. But O'Neal is already 27 years old, and you are not yet 19 years old. Ten years later, at your peak, O'Neal has long been old. What is the significance of becoming a tonnage center at that time?

Of course, Xiao Ming, you can aim to be the most dominant center.

But there is no need to worry about this. You are still young and you can make a decision after you are 20 years old. The next choice you have to make is whether to play professional competitions or go to college. You can think carefully and make a decision by playing professional competitions or college competitions, as well as next year's Olympics, and other competitions.

No matter which direction, I will help you improve yourself.”

Zhang Hao's words made Yao Ming's thoughts clearer. The excitement brought by the idea of ​​"I want to deal with O'Neal" began to fade, and in fact, it was because he had a clearer understanding of the "career".

It is not to deal with a certain player, but to make choices that are more beneficial to you.
