"Thanks for understanding, Yao. I really don't want Wang's health to have problems. He is the cornerstone of our team and he is very important," palinka said.

"I know, of course I know that. Please rest assured," Yao said.

After the call, Yao shook his head.

"Who called?" Li Nan asked.

"The general manager of the Lakers, palinka, thinks that we let Wang Fei play a little too much time. He hopes that he can play less time in the next game. It's normal for the Lakers to pay attention to this problem. After all, they hope that Wang Fei can have a healthy body before the new season. The Lakers haven't been in the playoffs for six years, which is the longest time in their team's history "It's a terrible record," Yao said with a smile.

"I think they have gone too far. Although Wang Fei is a player of the Lakers, he is also a member of our national team. They can't interfere too much in how we use Wang Fei." Li Nan is a little dissatisfied.

"Ha ha! Director Li, understand! NBA is a business alliance, but they paid a lot to have Wang Fei." Yao said with a smile.

"They didn't offer much price, did they? Wang Fei is still a rookie, and his salary is only a few million a year," Li Nan said.

"But don't forget, they still have Wang Fei's two-year high salary contract, and their two-year salary is as high as 100 million, which has set a record for the salary of NBA players," Yao said.

"What about the later games? The later games can only be more and more difficult. After entering the top four, they are absolutely strong teams, and every game is very difficult." Li Nan was a little depressed.

Obviously, he also knows that if Wang Fei's playing time decreases sharply, it will definitely have a great impact on the record of the national team. If Wang Fei is absent, the team will have to be beaten to pieces.

There is no hope of winning!

Now, the top four have been almost completely released.

The next match of the Chinese men's basketball team is Serbia.

That's great.

They have five major causes of death.

They were the runners up of the 2014 Spanish men's Basketball World Championships and the runners up of the men's basketball competition in the 2016 Olympic Games.

Their strength is second only to the United States.

"Let's see how to compete. We must reduce Wang Fei's playing time, which is also very important for Wang Fei. We have to prolong Wang Fei's career as much as possible, right? He is only 20 years old, and he will have a long time in the future. It's definitely a good thing for the Chinese men's basketball team that Wang Fei can play for a few more years. Don't forget, there will be next year's Olympic Games!" Yao said.

Yao Ming naturally knows that the current Chinese men's basketball team is carried by Wang Fei alone.

It's not Wang Fei's bravery. It's estimated that the top eight can't get in!

When playing Argentina in the eighth finals, although Argentina did not have NBA active players, their team tactics were quite strong. They can play as a whole.

The quarter final against Australia was even more difficult. If Wang Fei hadn't clenched his teeth at the last moment, it would be even more difficult for the team to win.

If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to get better results, it still depends on Wang Fei's performance.

"OK! Let's try to let Wang Fei play less time. Dayao, how much do you think it is more appropriate to compress him? We can't let him play for only 20 minutes? Then we can't play." Li Nan's mood is a little resistant.

Wang Fei is listening to them.

Hearing that Li Nan was a little dissatisfied, he smiled and said, "guide Li, don't care about the playing time. I think it's better to decide according to the situation of the game!"

"How can we do without looking at the playing time? It's estimated that palinka will be more dissatisfied. What if he doesn't let you play for the national team next time?" Yao said.

In principle, NBA teams have no right to require players to refuse to play for the national team.

However, they can put pressure on players to find excuses not to play for their country.

Wang Fei thought for a moment and said, "don't worry about it. I can talk to palinka. I can convince him not to worry about my health."

"Really? Thank you so much, Wang Fei." Li Nan was very surprised.

"You're welcome! Director Li, in fact, I am also very eager to create a history for the national team. We have entered the top four, and I hope we can win the final championship! This is my goal! Before the men's Basketball World Cup, I have determined this goal, and I have to work hard for this goal." Wang Fei said.

Wang Fei thought, we have golden fingers. It's hard to get hurt.

How many times do you have to fight in life? When not at this time?

This is the best chance to win the first men's Basketball World Cup at home. This honor will go down in history!

He hopes he can go down in history!

Um! It's best when you're still alive.

Mr. Yuan Longping was the one who shocked him most when he studied history at school. At that time, the old man had been described in history textbooks.

Wang Fei also hopes that he can get that chance.

"OK! Thank you, Wang Fei!" Yao Ming was very moved.

Yao Ming became president of the Chinese Basketball Association as part of the sports reform.

Yao Ming is the most successful basketball player in Chinese history. Of course, he also hopes to help the country make greater progress in sports.

The next morning.

Wang Fei got up late because there was no game, but he got up before 8 o'clock.

After breakfast, Wang Fei called palinka.

He knew that palinka should still be in China at the moment.

Get through.

Palinka was surprised: "good morning, Wang, Aha! I didn't expect you to call me."

"Palinka, are you still in China?" Wang Fei asked.

"Yes, I'm in Beijing," palinka said.

"Well, can we talk together this morning?" Wang Fei said with a smile.

"Of course, do you have a lot of hard thoughts to tell me? I also think your national team uses you a little too hard. How can they let you play the whole game? In order to win, don't you care about your health? It makes people very angry." Peilin looked.

"No, no! I'm not dissatisfied. I think we'd better meet again." Wang Fei said.

"OK! Then, shall we visit you at your hotel?" said palinka.

Although Wang Fei has just joined the Lakers, his importance to the Lakers is self-evident.

For the Lakers, having Wang Fei is almost the same as having a chance to win the championship.

Palinka hopes to have a good relationship with Wang Fei, preferably to become a good friend.

"Yes. Then I'm waiting for you to come." Wang Fei said with a smile.

At 8:50 a.m., palinka and current Lakers coach Frank Vogel came together.

Wang Fei received a call from palinka. He came down from upstairs and met him outside.

Wang Fei saw that many fans gathered outside the hotel, wearing Wang Fei's national team jersey and holding the flying wing boots made by Li Ning for Wang Fei, hoping to wait for Wang Fei to sign for them.

This shows how powerful Wang Fei's influence is now.

Wang Fei welcomed palinka and Vogel into the hotel. He took them into his room and sat down.

"Wang, your performance in this world cup is amazing. However, this is an embodiment of your ability. This world cup is very successful because of your participation. Although its global influence is far less than that of the football World Cup, it has successfully attracted the attention of people all over the world. The audience rating of the game is very high, especially when you participate in the world cup The number of matches has been highly watched in the United States, and people are talking about your performance in the world cup, "Vogel said with a smile as soon as he sat down.

Wang Fei and Vogel are not very familiar.

He only knew that the new coach had previously served as the head coach of the Pacers and the magic, but his coaching results were average and did not shine in front of people.

But this guy is a very inspirational person.

His start was low.

When I played in that year, I also played in an unknown minor league. I didn't even play NCAA, let alone play any fame.

It's also amazing that he has worked all the way from assistant trainer, scout and assistant coach to NBA coach.

So Vogel is still very smooth.

He seems to know how to build a good relationship with people.

Wang Fei smiled and thanked Vogel.

The three exchanged greetings.

Palin said: "Wang, I think you have made history by helping your national team reach the top four of the men's Basketball World Cup. Therefore, you don't have to fight for better results. You should protect yourself and don't fight too hard in the later games."

Palinka's request is from the standpoint of the Lakers, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Wang Fei smiled and said: "Palinka, I think I have well protected myself. You know, as long as I play, I will try my best. This is my style and my purpose. I can't play match fixing. I hope to make history for my country. Please rest assured that I will never get hurt. In fact, there are too many games in the NBA, It's more intense than the world cup and I can still be intact. "

Palinka frowned slightly.

He felt that Wang Fei was still a little too tender.

For many professional players, protecting themselves is the first thing.

As for national honor, fight for what you can. If you make too much sacrifice or even sacrifice your own interests for national honor, it is the most inappropriate.

Like the United States, their men's basketball national team also adopts the recruitment system, and the national team sends invitations to NBA players.

However, NBA players can also refuse the invitation of the national team according to their actual situation.

For example, this year's World Cup, didn't Lao Zhan explicitly refuse to participate?
