The world's best combo guard

Chapter 34 [Pessimistic]

The next day, Li Hao and the others did not stop in Chicago, but split into two groups. Li Hao, Gu Zhengwen and their parents flew directly from Chicago to BJ, while Yao Zhijun went to Los Angeles.

In China, Li Hao still has some things to deal with, so it's best to go back in person.

Yao Zhijun went directly to Los Angeles, which was a prelude to Li Hao, such as renting an apartment, finding a good gym, and so on, so that Li Hao could directly devote himself to training when he came to Los Angeles after a while.

"Ahao, after you go back, you must establish a good relationship with the basketball management center. Although you are a free agent, you know that sometimes, the principle does not work, and the actual interests are the most reliable. For the future In our professional career, we must not make the relationship with the basketball management center stiff. Don’t uncles and aunts have friends in the basketball management center, so we should move around more. China’s affairs, after all, are the most important things in the world.”

Before leaving, Yao Zhijun asked.

Li Hao looked at Yao Zhijun with some surprise. This guy knows a lot and is very sophisticated, not at all like a young man in his early 30s.

"You don't have to look at me like this. Think about the quarrelsome incident of Wang Zhizhi not returning to China a year ago, and then think about the dispute between Yao Ming and the Shanghai Sharks that was exposed after he was selected a year ago. Of the two, you are luckier because you are a free agent, but don’t forget that you are still registered with the Chinese Basketball Management Center after all.”

When Yao Zhijun said this, Li Hao's facial expression gradually became serious. He realized the importance of the problem Yao Zhijun said, and this time he really had to work hard to get through the relationship when he went back.

On the plane, Li Hao rubbed his temples and showed a distressed expression. Now he gradually realized that the road to success for a person is far from being as simple as imagined.

Whether it was the previous twists and turns being selected by the Lakers, or Kupchak and others' vague answers to his position in the Lakers, and the problems he is facing with the basketball center, they all represent one trouble after another.

"There will always be troubles, but the difference is that when you become an important person, ordinary troubles can be easily resolved." Li Hao clenched his fists, determined to make a name for himself in the NBA.

In the last two years of the CBA League, Li Hao was regarded as a super star. Therefore, in addition to Li Ning Sports, he also received several commercial endorsements. This time, he came back to cooperate with these commercial brands to complete some commercial activities.

At the beginning of the 21st century, although China has begun to introduce the Internet, in general, the network news media is still underdeveloped.

Therefore, Li Hao, who was just selected by the Lakers, did not cause much sensation on the whole except for being surrounded by crowds at several BJ's commercial activities. Of course, this is also related to Li Hao's current lack of a media PR team.

For this, Li Hao was somewhat disappointed, but he was not in a hurry, because he knew very well that this is just the beginning, and there will always be what should be.

Although the information media is still underdeveloped, for those domestic businessmen, these cannot prevent them from finding and cooperating with Li Hao.

In just one week, Li Hao received more than a dozen letters of intent for business cooperation. Li Hao was surprised by his commercial value, but at the same time, he did not get carried away with complacency, or even hastily agreed to cooperate. Instead, he took these letters of intent Save it and wait for Yao Zhijun to come back to check and deal with it.

Because even if it is a commercial cooperation, you need to be cautious. Not all commercial cooperation can be accepted, and Li Hao still understands this common sense.

"Director Xing, this is an item I bought at an auction in Paris, France some time ago. It's a trivial matter, and it's not a respect. You must accept it."

In the Quanjude box of BJ Wangfujing's family, Li Hao's family was here. At the same time, Han Qing stuffed a red sandalwood box that looked gorgeous on the outside into the hands of a middle-aged man with a shiny face.

"Old Han, what are you doing? We've known each other for a long time. Besides, last year my daughter went to school in the United States and I've already troubled you." The middle-aged man was pushing and shoving, but his body was very honest. The red sandalwood box was put into the leather bag beside him in no time, and the series of actions were simply familiar and smooth.

"Ah Hao, don't hurry up and offer you a glass of wine to Uncle Xing. This kid is really not a director. He is Uncle Xing. Don't blame him. You can take care of this kid when he goes to play in the NBA." Han Qing pretended to be very nervous He gestured to Li Hao angrily.

Li Hao reacted. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still stood up and raised his glass to the middle-aged man, because he knew the origin of this guy in front of him very well. He is the current director of the basketball management center.

"Uncle Xing, I offer you a toast, please take care of Uncle Xing in the future"

"Haha, you father and son are too humble. It is entirely due to your own credit that Ah Hao is here today. How much I can help. However, Ah Hao, since you have been selected by the NBA, you should work hard and wait until the Olympics and the world competition. When you are needed, you must do your best when the time comes.”

it is more than words.

After Director Xing said such words, whether it was Han Qing and his wife, or Li Hao, he felt a lot more relaxed, and the test of the basketball management center was considered to be over for the time being.

Director Xing specifically mentioned the Olympics and world competitions just now, which means a lot. Li Hao knows that under normal circumstances, the basketball management center of Asian-level competitions will require all the main players to participate. Wang Zhizhi a year ago was because of this situation and The basketball management center fell out. Before that, Li Hao and the others hoped that the basketball management center could "amnesty" him on this, just like Yao Ming who already enjoyed this kind of "amnesty". career.

Now Director Xing specifically mentioned this point, which means that this matter is done.

"It's true that money can turn ghosts around." Li Hao sneered in his heart.

It was from this time that Li Hao became a little pessimistic about the future of Chinese basketball. From the current point of view, there is no shortage of basketball talents in China. Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle are all NBA or quasi-NBA players. Those top-notch players in China, such a lineup, even against the world's top teams, have the power to fight.

But, so what, without a good basketball management center, without a healthy management system, it has already laid the groundwork for failure.

Li Hao is convinced that professional players like them are very willing to win glory for the country from the bottom of their hearts, but when everyone's enthusiasm is trampled by these unreasonable systems or management time and time again, how much of the so-called high enthusiasm will remain?
