Pursuit

However, being able to take the team back to his home country to compete is no less than returning home in glory for Da Zhuang.

Although this person is of Chinese descent in body, at least he is a pure Chinese in soul.

At noon on October 11th, the Timberwolves' plane landed at the Shanghai International Airport. When Da Zhuang led the entire Timberwolves team to the exit of the airport, everyone in the Timberwolves was shocked by the sight in front of them.

Thousands of fans gathered there, almost everyone wearing a Timberwolves jersey, and what Da Zhuang saw was a banner in front of him: "Brother Zhuang, welcome home!"

To be honest, when Chen Dazhuang saw this, he couldn't stand it any longer, and he felt heat in his eyes.

Next, Da Zhuang also arranged for all Timberwolves players to meet the needs of the fans at the scene as much as possible, but to be honest, Da Zhuang gathered the most fans around him. Many fans came all the way just to see Da Zhuang in action.

Allow.

"Brother Zhuang, come on, win another championship this year."

"Thank you, thank you, I'll try my best!"

Even though his hand was numb when he signed, Da Zhuang was still very patient.

It can be said that among the thirty teams in the league now, whether it is the Cavaliers with James, or the Lakers with Kobe, or the Thunder, or the Rockets where Yao Ming once played, none of these teams can compare with the Timberwolves in China.

Popularity, Milt once told Dazhuang that the Timberwolves now have at least 100 million fans in China. In order to better increase the viscosity of the Chinese market this season, the Timberwolves team's marketing department has invested in Dazhuang.

It was suggested that the Chinese name of the Timberwolves be printed on the front of the jersey.

And Da Zhuang also suggested that some targeted activity arrangements can be made during some traditional Chinese festivals.

If three Chinese people are on a team, if such a team cannot become the most popular team, then what team can? Back then, one Yao Ming could make the Rockets a lot of money. The effect of those three people can be

Just imagine.

This guy Milt even required some club staff to learn Chinese.

"Da Zhuang, welcome home!" As Yao Ming's hometown in Shanghai, Yao Ming naturally came to the airport to pick him up today.

"Thanks!"

"I'll be the host tonight."

"no problem."

After a delay of at least more than an hour, the entire Timberwolves team finally left the airport and came to the hotel with the help of the staff.

In comparison, although the Spurs who arrived in the afternoon were also welcomed, the treatment gap between them and the Timberwolves was quite large.

In the evening, Da Zhuang and Kaili also took Yi Jianlian and Lin Shuhao to accept Yao Ming's banquet. Not to mention that when they were in Minneapolis before, they thought the Chinese food they often went to was very authentic, but today they ate it.

After that, I still felt that the difference was not small.

"My dear, why does it taste different from what it tasted like in Apolis?" Kelly asked with some confusion. In her opinion, it was the same plate of fried pork with chili peppers, but the taste was completely different.

"You have to eat Chinese food in China. The ingredients available outside may be different."

In fact, Da Zhuang is not sure, but after thinking about it, the problem may lie in this. You can bring some necessary seasonings from China, but you have to deal with the raw materials locally.

"Dazhuang, someone asked me to ask. Although I know there is no need to ask this question, but no matter what, I am only responsible for carrying the message, and I am asking you if it is possible to come back to coach the national team."

After they had had enough wine and food, Yao Ming's words made Da Zhuang shake his head.

"Dayao, it's impossible now. Let's talk about it in the future. Although I won't come back, I still pay attention to domestic basketball. There are no outsiders here, so I can speak my mind. To be honest, whether it is some actions of the league,

In other words, in terms of the entire competitive business environment, the current domestic basketball seems to be in a reckless era, with too much of a gangland atmosphere. In fact, sometimes I resent the NBA's strong commercial atmosphere, but if I think about it carefully, it is precisely because of this that the NBA can

After developing into the current scale, I always believe that professional things should be left to professionals. I don't like the situation of laymen managing experts, so given the current domestic basketball environment, I can't do well when I come back.

"

"Then what adjustments do you think should be made to change this situation?"

"I don't think I can answer this question. To be honest, you actually know it in your heart. The NBA's system cannot be applied to us mechanically, but the system we are using now must be eliminated. As for

How to change it to one that suits us, I'm afraid you need to think about it, but there is one thing, Dayao, no matter what kind of business competition it is, creating a fair competitive environment is necessary."

In fact, Da Zhuang really feels that there is a problem with the management of some professional leagues in China. Whether it is basketball or football, for example, every time the Football Association chairman is appointed, he is not from football, such as the table tennis guy.

Playing football, isn’t this sheer nonsense? A maximum of four people can play a table tennis ball, which is the size of a table. How many tables can be placed in a football field, and 22 people can play in a game? Can this be the same?

The same goes for basketball. Da Zhuang remembers that even though the man in front of him will become the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future, he actually does not have complete control over the power. There is also the General Administration of Sports above his head.

It is said that Da Zhuang did not expect Yao Ming's invitation beforehand, but after hearing this question, Da Zhuang actually understood the other party's thoughts. It is true that this year's basketball performance is really a bit low.

Gong Luming, whom we met last time, led the team to the just-concluded Incheon Asian Games, and came back with the worst performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in 40 years.

Obviously, someone is asking Yao Ming to ask this question now to prepare for the 2016 Olympics, but Da Zhuang does not want to wade into this muddy water now.

Damn it, I'd better build my reputation in the NBA honestly first. Although that bastard Xiao Hua targets me from time to time, at least that guy doesn't dare to come forward openly. If he comes back to the national team, he won't be criticized by that guy.

The old silver coin was eaten alive.

"It's okay, I was asked to ask, and I actually know the answer."

"I know, I understand."

The preseason match against the Spurs was scheduled for 7 o'clock in the evening. In the morning, both sides participated in some activities arranged by the organizer.

In the afternoon, I came to the arena for some familiarization training to get familiar with the venue. This game in Shanghai is the home court of the Timberwolves, so when I came to the arena in the afternoon, the layout of the entire venue was in accordance with

The layout of the target center is full of Timberwolves atmosphere, and although there is still a lot of time before the start of the game, there are already a large number of fans gathered outside the venue, and of course there are some scalpers selling high-priced tickets.
