All-round Athlete

Chapter 395 Invitation from America (11th update)

Zhang Guan's participation in the men's basketball team shocked everyone's attention.

"The Zhang Guan on the 19-man training list of the Basketball Association turned out to be Zhang Guan! How is this possible? Nine times out of ten, it's just a media hype!"

"Yes, this group of unscrupulous media must be fabricating fake news for the sake of gaining attention. Just wait, the Basketball Association will definitely refute the rumor soon."

However, with the passage of time, the men's basketball team meeting on March 8 was getting closer and closer. The Basketball Association did not come out to refute the rumors, and neither did Jonas, as if they hadn't seen the fans' comments at all.

"Could it be that Zhang Guan on the training list is really Zhang Guan?" Many people have already believed this.

At this time, a relatively familiar media finally interviewed Zhang Guan's agent team, the champion team, and the champion team also confirmed that Zhang Guan on the training list of the Basketball Association was indeed Zhang Guan himself.

However, the turmoil did not subside because of this. When some fans calmed down, various doubts followed.

"Zhang Guan is not a basketball player, how can he enter the national team!"

"There are so many basketball players in our country who have not entered the national team. Why do we have to choose Zhang Guan?"

"Zhang Guan has no competition experience at all, but he was able to enter the national team. There must be something shady in it!"

"Is there no one in our CBA league? Let track and field athletes go on top?"

"Zhang Guan must have entered the national team through the back door!"

For domestic fans, especially senior fans, it is absolutely unacceptable for a non-basketball player Zhang Guan to enter the national team. Even though Zhang Guan is very famous, even if Zhang Guan has achieved world-renowned achievements, he is not a basketball player.

Fans all hope that the men's basketball team can achieve good results in the Olympics. Of course, they hope that all the players in the national team will be strong players. In recent years, the selection of the men's basketball team has not been transparent enough, and it is normal that they cannot gain the trust and confidence of the fans. of.

At the same time, many fans are also very opinionated. For example, during the game, there are often fans who think that the coach’s arrangements are not good, that a certain player on the field is not good, that a certain player should end, a certain player should play, and a certain tactic should be played. , and when it comes to the truth, I feel that I am better than the coach. This kind of fans, you can't reason with him for a year, they will only persistently agree with their own views, and if the players don't show good results, they will definitely not be able to conquer them.

In addition, many domestic stars are also very unconvinced by this result. They have worked hard for more than ten years but cannot enter the national team. Zhang Guan, a person who has not even played basketball for a day, has entered the national team. How can you not arouse envy from the big training list?

Shortly after the end of the 2004 Olympic Games, the national team announced a men's basketball reserve list of more than 50 people for the 2008 Olympic Games. The big list of players, and in this list, such as Dayao, Ah Lian, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, etc., the positions are basically fixed, which means that there are very few places for the six other players. Competing for these places with multiple players was originally a matter of breaking their heads. Now that Zhang Guan is allowed to take one, it is of course impossible for other players to balance psychologically.

In fact, the most important thing is that Zhang Guan did not achieve results in basketball. Just like when Zhang Guan first appeared on the tennis court at the beginning of last year, foreigners also questioned the organizers of the Australian Open. They also said that Zhang Guan was a "back door player". However, in the following Wimbledon and US Open, the voices supporting Zhang Guan's victory even occupied a larger number.

The same is true now, Zhang Guan has never achieved good results in the basketball field, and of course everyone is also questioning Zhang Guan.

...

Zhuge Wenbo handed several newspapers to Zhang Guan, and said at the same time: "Public opinion is very unfavorable to us! At the beginning, everyone was in the Basketball Association, and you were brought along, but now you have almost become the main force of this spray object."

Zhang Guan took over the newspaper, and the first newspaper report was full of conspiracy theories.

"Zhang Guan has been designated as the flag bearer of the national team for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games":

"According to the traditional practice, the flag bearers of the national team are all basketball players in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games over the years. In this year's Olympics, the national team obviously prefers Zhang Guanlai to be the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The problem is that Zhang Guan is not a part of the men's basketball team. In order to make Zhang Guan the flag bearer of the opening ceremony without breaking the tradition, recruiting Zhang Guan into the men's basketball team and making him a member of the men's basketball team is a happy choice. However, if this is done, I am afraid that there will be an outstanding player Basketball players can't enter the Olympic Games, I don't know if the lack of one person in the formation will have any impact on Coach Jonas!"

Zhang Guan looked at the report with a weird face, and then said: "This reporter can really figure it out, I admire his imagination a little bit!"

"There are many similar conjectures, all of which are listed below, and I have marked them for you." Zhuge Wenbo pointed to the newspaper, and at this moment, Zhuge Wenbo's cell phone rang.

"I'm calling from the United States. I'll pick it up." Zhuge Wenbo walked aside and picked up the phone.

After a while, Zhuge Wenbo came back and said to Zhang Guan: "One of my former colleagues, Johnson, is calling. He is now a middle-level manager of the American CAA company, and the purpose of the call is for you."

"For me? What is this American going to do?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Johnson saw the news that you are going to play basketball in the United States, so I want to ask if you are interested in participating in this year's NBA draft." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "CAA knows that I am your agent, so Johnson directly called I."

"What? Let me participate in the NBA draft? This is too whimsical!" Zhang Guan said in surprise.

"Americans have always been whimsical. And this matter is also good for a top brokerage company like CAA." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"What's the benefit?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"For the Chinese market, CAA's competition in the US market is fierce, and they are eager to seek new markets. The European market is obviously mature, and CAA may not be able to make too much profit after entering, so they need to find new emerging markets. And where is the largest emerging market in the world?" Zhuge Wenbo smiled, and then said: "As far as I know, Dayao is in the NBA and brings more than 100 million US dollars to Rockets owner Alexander every year, so now The entire American sports world attaches great importance to the Chinese market."

"What does that have to do with my participation in the NBA draft? I haven't even played an official basketball game, and I have to prepare for the Olympics. It's impossible to try out like other rookies. It's impossible for a team to draft me. Yes. Even if I am selected, I may not really play in the NBA." Zhang Guan said.

"CAA just wants to use you as a breakthrough. As for whether you go to the NBA or not, it doesn't matter to CAA." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "Johnson told me that if you are willing to participate in the NBA draft, they can help you. You operate, at least you can guarantee that you will be drafted by some team in the second round."

"Can draft picks also work?" Zhang Guan asked with uncertainty.

"Of course, the second-round pick is definitely not a problem. I think there must be a team that is willing to use a second-round pick to sell CAA's favor." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "How about it? Not tempted? Do you want to try the NBA draft?"
