What can a person do if he makes up his mind?

12 pounds were lost in 25 days!

Zhang Hao looked at the ruthless man who had obviously lost a small circle in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - he was worthy of being a big boss who was killed by more than ten times.

10 kilograms! The pork is so big! It’s actually reduced.

Too cruel!

Without considering whether it will affect health, Zhang Hao looked at Pierce and felt that Pierce was more energetic.

"Haha, what's wrong? Are you shocked! I just said, I want to lose weight and you can lose it in minutes. This is just the beginning. You go to the NBA first and wait. When I come to the NBA, we will lead the Lakers to win the championship together..."

Pierce opened his mouth, and the ruthlessness Zhang Hao felt from him before suddenly disappeared.

The chatterbox is still the same chatterbox…

Seeing Pierce, Zhang Hao's mood improved a lot. A confused future made him live a very bad life in the past few days. He always thought about what to do if he lost the election. The key is that he has to watch the lifespan of his life day by day.

"Aix, when will we go to New York? This is my first time going to Madison Square Garden Arena, which is a basketball holy place..."

Facing Pierce, who turned on the chatterbox mode again, Zhang Hao ignored the messy ones and directly replied: "The plane will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

“…”

Today is June 25th, and Zhang Hao’s remaining life span is 367 days, and the day after tomorrow is the day of the draft.

He felt quite coincidental, as if the day of the draft would be a new chapter, and he just returned to 365 days, the remaining life span when he had just merged his memory.

But he could not predict how this new chapter would develop at all.

However, he has also thought it through the past few days, no matter how confused he is, he is still confused and wandering, but time will still pass day by day and it has come to this point. He will do whatever he wants to do in the next draft.

At this time, Zhang Hao finally understood what "a major decision in life" means.

It was indeed a bit hasty to make a decision at that time, but since the decision had been made and had already reached this path, there was no turning back.

What he has to do now is to wait until the result comes out and then consider the future based on the result. It is useless to regret the original decision, and he can only look forward to the result that he will not regret it.

What makes him feel a little comforted is that no matter how confused or hesitant he is in the process, he will do his best every time he participates in the draft. No matter whether the teams in the trial training pay attention to him or not, he will do his best.

Next, go to New York and wait for selection.

...

The just-concluded 94-95 season was a very legendary season in the eyes of fans.

First, Jordan made a comeback!

Then, Jordan was beaten by pennies.

Then, Olajuwon led the sixth team in the West and counterattacked all the way to the finals. He had no home advantage throughout the whole game, but he swept O'Neal in the finals and completed two consecutive championships.

This championship was won directly established Olajuwon's status as the top ten in history.

After the finals, the draft and the subsequent free market became the focus of fans' attention.

The first thing is the draft.

Joe Smith, Antonio McDyce, Rashid Wallace, Damon Stoudemier, Jerry Starkhouse... The quality of this year's draft is quite high. Although Duncan is missing, it is also a pretty good draft year.

The ownership of these players is the focus of fans' attention at present.

The high school rookies who were once very popular during the playoffs, when it was time to draw a draft, there was not much topic to talk about them.

In the eyes of fans, high school students participating in the draft is just a gimmick. Not many people think they can directly adapt to NBA-level games, because many high school geniuses can't even adapt to the college league, and the gap is too big.

Garnett, Zhang Hao and others are just "topics"; and those geniuses from college are "popular"!

Even Garnett, who is so famous, has teams saying "I am stupid and I will use the lottery pick to choose him."

On June 26, the day before the draft, sports media gathered in New York, and the top young basketball geniuses in the United States and even the world also gathered in New York.

Zhang Hao and Pierce came to Big Apple City together, found a cheap hotel, opened a standard room, and stayed in it.

These days, it is not as rich as the NBA in the future. Except for the group of people in Little Green House, other rookies have to be responsible for their food and accommodation during the draft.

The money I made in the previous slam dunk contest has been spent almost all.

Now Zhang Hao is waiting for tomorrow's draft and is looking forward to coming soon.

Either it’s a young model club or...

Anyway, if you are selected, Zhang Hao feels that at least you don’t have to worry about your livelihood issues for the time being.

Two poor boys had no money to go out for fun, and they didn't even have a TV in the hotel. Pierce brought his red and white machine.

However, when I came to Big Apple City, I naturally had to go for a walk. Pierce suggested going to Madison Square Garden first to check out so that I would not find the way tomorrow. Although in fact, players who were not allowed to go to the scene on the draft will not affect the draft, nor will they affect whether they will be selected, if they want to go through the NBA draft in their basketball career, they only have one chance to go by one person. Of course, they have to go there if they can go.

They left as soon as they wanted, and they had no valuables... They had no valuables, so they kept their cash and driver's licenses and went out directly.

Although the hotel is broken and small, there are quite a lot of people here to stay. In other words, such cheap hotels, which are not very far from Madison Square Garden, can be seen everywhere in the draft.

After all, there are only a few people in the Little Green House, with hundreds of people participating in the draft, most of them are local American players, and college students don’t have much money, so they basically find such cheap hotels to live in.

After coming out of the elevator, Zhang Hao saw several players he had met.

"Michael, what a coincidence, you live here too!" Zhang Hao greeted Michael Finley, who looked mature.

Michael Finley is extremely gentle in character, so gentle that he is not impatient when he can't get the ball during the trial. He is also a player who is not a ball and holds the ball. He is also the last player in the first round and the first round of the second round. During the Pistons' trial, the two were separated. Then the two were in a bad mood and met a player named Cory Alexander. He was killed and did not pass the ball. Both of them could only stare at him.

The two who were ill and had a good relationship during the Pistons' trial... They just sat down and didn't talk, and they both thought the other was not bad.

"It's you, Aix, how about it? I heard you tried several teams later. How is the situation?"

"It's okay, what about you."

"I can do it too..."

Although he was quite close to each other, he was not familiar with each other. After a while of greeting, he separated.

Michael Finley, Zhang Hao naturally has an impression. It is precisely because he saw that Michael Finley, a star with such a strong future, encounters similar to him in the draft. Most of the players are actually similar in their situation, and it is difficult for most players to get the chance to try... So Zhang Hao did not have an explosion in his mentality. He gradually understood later that it was thanks to the dunk contest and Adidas training camp before the trial start that some teams were interested in him and invited him to try. He called and applied for the trial to pass. It was not necessarily the case that more players who attended the trial to go to the home trial.

It was fine, but I walked for nearly an hour to Madison Square Garden to see the appearance... It was just like the appearance of an ordinary NBA stadium, and it was relatively old, and it was said that it was almost time for renovation.

The road planning of this stadium built in 1968 is also very bad. The main entrance of the stadium is directly out of the main road. There is a huge star poster above the main entrance, and a photo of gorilla Patrick Ewing catching the ball with both hands.

Walking is still beneficial. There is a traffic jam at present. Zhang Hao and Pierce successfully arrived at the entrance of the stadium. There was a window at the ticket office, "Rookie Registration Office". Zhang Hao took out the draft registration receipt he brought and successfully brought the "agent" to enter the hall for free.

When visiting the goal hall, you either buy tickets or have a city-wide scenic spot pass from the New York City Tourism Development Company. When Zhang Hao was bored to learn about this, he found something incredible, that is, the separate ticket prices of some New York attractions are similar to the city-wide tourist pass.

Pierce entered the stadium and started chatterbox mode again. He was surprised to see anything. Zhang Hao has been to many NBA stadiums recently and has no curiosity anymore.

I spent more than half an hour wandering around and spent 15 US dollars to take 3 photos to pick them up at the photo shop in the stadium tomorrow, and then I was about to leave.

"Aix, you go to the NBA first and wait. I will come back in two years. Do you think the Lakers will choose you? I think it should..."

Zhang Hao listened to Pierce's "Lakeman Dream", and he wanted to tell Pierce that if the Lakers successfully get the OK combination next summer, he will not have the chance to be selected by the Lakers in the future. O'Neal would not have the chance to get the lottery. For Kobe, he sent away Divac, who had the highest trading value, although Van Exel and Eddie Jones were good, but it would be difficult to switch to the top ten picks.

Since that's the case, just listen to Pierce's nagging quietly.

Just as the two walked towards the exit of the stadium, suddenly, Zhang Hao heard someone say his name.

"Look, is it that Xiao Zhang..."

Zhang Hao had never heard anyone call this title before. The key is that it was Mandarin. He immediately turned his head and saw several Chinese faces, one of which had met him, Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jicheng.

The person who said his name was not Xu Jicheng, but an older middle-aged man next to him.

"Aix, are you calling you?"

"Yes, our country's reporter."

Zhang Hao explained and took Pierce to meet the people who were walking towards them.

This time it was Xu Jicheng who spoke first: "Aix, I finally found you. It's hard to see you..."

Zhang Hao heard a strong sense of resentment from the tone of the man Xu Jicheng.

Before Zhang Hao could reply, Xu Jicheng enthusiastically introduced: "Mr. Jiang, your eyes are so good. I haven't seen Xiao Zhang yet. You saw it at a glance. You are not wrong. This is Zhang Hao, a talented basketball high school student in our country. His English name is Aix... Aix, this is Mr. Jiang Xiaoyu, editor-in-chief of the Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency.

This is the editor-in-chief of the basketball news editorial department of the imperial sports platform...

This one is...

(Transfer to English) Aix, I remember the one next to you is Paul Pierce, a talented high school student in California, right? Hello, we are from China..."

Through Xu Jicheng's introduction, Zhang Hao met some leaders of the two major media giants in China.

I also learned that for a while, domestic reporters have been trying to collect his news.

Pierce is quite used to interviewing, he is a star player in high school.

Domestic sports fans are paying great attention to a Chinese high school student participating in the NBA draft, and the market from the end of the first round to the middle of the second round.

And unlike the United States, Zhang Hao has announced that he has participated in the draft for more than a month, and the popularity of the country has not diminished at all!

Although various problems have gradually emerged in China in many aspects, such as "the forest is big and all kinds of birds are available" and "when you are full and have nothing to do when you are idle", what the Chinese people lack more is confidence.

And how much confidence does the Chinese people need?

Any country that is not good enough in any aspect, it feels that its country is still bad.

Military, you have to compare with the United States; romantic, you have to compare with France; rigorous, you have to compare with Germany; hygiene, you have to compare with Japan... you want to compare with the best in all aspects.

In this regard, Chinese people naturally hope that their country will be strong in all aspects. Basketball has a wide audience in China. After so many years, a domestic basketball player finally has the opportunity to appear on the NBA stage, which has triggered a strong basketball craze in China.

However, there is no news in China!

Some media went to the Blue Association to see if there was any information there, but the Blue Association asked them not to report on Zhang Hao... It was just that under the leadership of Xinhua News Agency, not many media took care of the strange request of the Blue Association.

Since there is no news in China, I will go to the United States for an interview. However, there are not many media in China who have obtained US interview permission, and the Soviet Union has fallen. Due to multiple reasons, its country has become the biggest imaginary enemy of the United States.

Secondly, for some reasons, they failed to get Zhang Hao's contact information from the NBA. Every time the NBA headquarters sent a message saying which team Zhang Hao was going to try out, they just arrived there and Zhang Hao had already finished the trial and went to the next city.

This is the case every time, and it is a day or two away every time.

As they got more times, they also understood that the NBA just wanted them to report on draft trials that they had hardly reported in previous years.

Not to mention the trial trials of the draft, mainstream media like them rarely even report on the draft.

But the situation is different now. If Zhang Hao really enters the NBA, they are planning to gradually increase their reporting on the NBA around Zhang Hao's breakthrough, then there is nothing to do in advance.
Chapter completed!
