Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 187
However, being able to bring the team back to his home country to play is no less than returning home for Da Zhuang.

Although this body is of Chinese descent, at least the soul is a pure Chinese.

At noon on October 10, the Timberwolves' plane landed at the Shanghai International Airport. When Da Zhuang brought the Timberwolves to the exit of the airport, everyone in the Timberwolves was startled by the sight in front of them. Thousands of fans gathered there, almost everyone was wearing a Timberwolves jersey, and what Da Zhuang saw was a banner facing him, "Brother Zhuang, welcome home!"

To be honest, seeing this moment, Chen Dazhuang couldn't hold back any longer, and instantly felt heat in his eye sockets.

Next, Da Zhuang arranged for all the Timberwolves players to meet the needs of the fans as much as possible, but to be honest, Da Zhuang had the most fans around him. Many fans came from thousands of miles just to see Da Zhuang’s true self. Allow.

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

"Thank you, thank you, I will do my best!"

Even though his hands were numb after signing, Da Zhuang was still very patient.

It can be said that among the [-] teams in the league, no matter 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 Da Zhuang that the current Timberwolves have at least [-] million fans in China. It is suggested that the Timberwolves' Chinese name be printed on the front of the jersey.

And Da Zhuang also suggested that some targeted activities should be arranged during some traditional festivals in Huaguo.

Three Chinese are in one team. If such a team cannot become the most popular team, then what team can?Back then, just one Yao name could make the Rockets make a lot of money, and the effect of those three people can be imagined.

Milt even asked 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.

"Thank you!"

"I'm going to be the host tonight."

"no problem."

It was delayed for at least an hour, and finally the Timberwolves team 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, there was a big gap in treatment between them and the Timberwolves.

In the evening, Da Zhuang and Kai Li also took Yi Jianlian and Lin Shuhao to accept Yao Ming's banquet. Not to mention that when they were in Minneapolis, they thought that the Chinese food they often went to was very authentic, but today they ate After that, I still feel the difference is not small.

"Honey, why does it feel different from the time in Apolis?" Kelly asked with some doubts. In her opinion, it was also a plate of chili fried pork, but the taste was worlds different.

"You must eat Chinese food in Huaguo. The ones outside may be different from the raw materials."

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 Huaguo, but you have to solve the raw materials locally.

"Da Zhuang, someone asked me to ask, although I know there is no need to ask this question, but anyway, I am only responsible for leading the conversation, that is to ask if it is possible for you to come back to coach the national team."

After drinking and eating, Yao Ming's words also 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 also pay attention to domestic basketball, and there are no outsiders here, so I can speak from my heart. To be honest, whether it is some behaviors of the league, In other words, in terms of the overall competitive business environment, the current domestic basketball seems to be a reckless era, with too much atmosphere in the world. In fact, sometimes I also dislike the commercial atmosphere of the NBA, but when I think about it, it is precisely because of this that the NBA can With the current scale of development, I always believe that professional things should be done by professional people. I don’t like the situation where laymen manage experts. Therefore, in the current domestic basketball environment, I can’t do well when I come back. "

"Then how do you think you should adjust to change this situation?"

"I don't think I can answer this question. To be honest, you know it in your heart. The NBA's set cannot be applied to us mechanically, but the set we use now will definitely 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 commercial competition it is, it is necessary to create a fair competition environment.”

In fact, Da Zhuang really thinks there is a problem with the management of some professional leagues in Huaguo. Whether it is basketball or football, for example, every time football Nima gets any football association chairman, he is not from football. For example, the one who plays table tennis comes. Playing football, isn’t this pure nonsense, a ping-pong ball can be played by up to four people, the size of a table, how many tables can be placed in a football field, and 22 people play in a game, can this shit be the same.

The same is true for basketball. Da Zhuang remembers that even though the person in front of him will become the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future, he can't actually control the power completely. There is also the General Administration of Sports on top of his head.

Da Zhuang did not expect Yao Ming's invitation beforehand, but after hearing this question, Da Zhuang could actually understand the other party's thoughts. Indeed, this year's basketball performance is really a bit of a stretch.

The last time I met Gong Luming led the team to the just-concluded Incheon Asian Games. As a result, the Huaguo men's basketball team came back with the worst performance in 40 years.

Apparently someone asked Yao Ming to ask this question in order to prepare for the 16 Olympics, but Da Zhuang didn't want to go through this muddy water now.

Damn, I'd better earn my name honestly in the NBA first. Although that bastard Xiao Hua targets me from time to time, at least that guy doesn't dare to face it publicly. If he comes back to win the national team, he won't be caught Help the old silver coins to be swallowed alive.

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

"I know, I understand."

The preseason game 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 adaptation training on the familiar venue. This game in Shanghai is the home of the Timberwolves, so when I come to the arena in the afternoon, the layout of the entire arena is in accordance with The layout of the target center was arranged, and it was full of Timberwolves. Although there was still a lot of time before the start of the game, there were already a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium, and of course there were some scalpers who sold tickets at high prices.
