It's getting closer and closer to the start of the draft convention!
Richard is still worried about his coaching team. Carlisle introduced some assistants. However, after checking some attributes, Richard is not satisfied with them, so it's over.
At present, it is imperative to find a TA, because when the draft conference is over, the new players must start training and play in the summer league. At that time, the TA is not enough.
"Ding Ding Ding......" Richard's cell phone rang.
"Uncle Li, I'm Dazhi." Dazhi called.
"Dazhi? Don't tell me you signed up for the draft secretly! If that's the case, I'll have to call your father and beat you! "
"No, Uncle Li! How dare I do such a thing... " Dazhi said with a smile.
"Well, my father called me yesterday, and let me ask you, a friend of his in China wants to get a job in NBA..."
"Don't worry, my dad is a capable man. He used to play with my dad in the Beijing team. He is much better than my dad!" Dazhi may be afraid of Richard's misunderstanding, so he explained it first.
Richard is shocked. At this time in China, someone wants to work in NBA? Who would it be?!
"What's the name? I don't know much about domestic basketball... " Richard asked curiously.
"Zhang Weiping, I usually call him Mr. Zhang. I knew him when I was a child. I spent more than ten years in the United States, and I just returned home two years ago..."
Richard was drinking water. After listening to Dazhi's words, he almost didn't spray it out
Uncle Zhang?! Zhang Weiping?!
Under the basket magician?!
The strongest forward in Asia?!
Wei Ping Bryant?!
Zhang Xiaoli?!
He wants to work in the NBA?!
Richard was totally confused. He felt that the world was too small. By chance, he met Dazhi's father and brought Dazhi to play in the United States.
Then through Dazhi, and Zhang reasonable teacher set up online?
As for Dazhi's claim that Zhang Weiping has worked in the United States for more than ten years, Richard naturally knows about it.
Some fans in the future often see Zhang Weiping can communicate with players in English fluently when they watch the ball. They also have doubts that there are few people as old as Zhang Weiping who can speak English fluently
Richard also had such doubts. He went to look up Zhang Weiping's resume.
After checking, the doubts were solved. Zhang Weiping retired in 79 and went to the United States to fight directly. He didn't return home until the early 1990s, that is to say, a few years ago
After more than ten years in America, it's strange that English is not good
However, Zhang Weiping's time in the United States is far from satisfactory. Otherwise, he is unlikely to return to China in the first two years.
At first, he was a librarian at the University of Chicago, where his wife went to school. Later, he had the chance to enter the basketball circle and become a trainer in the University
In name, it's a trainer, but according to Zhang Weiping's own words, it's a handyman!
Maybe the daily work is not as important as little Brownie's!
later, Tsingtao Beer entered the American market. Zhang Weiping worked as a beer salesman. He often went to restaurants or supermarkets for door-to-door sales. He also worked as a part-time basketball coach in the middle, but his salary was as low as his salary, only 20 dollars an hour
It can be said that Zhang Weiping's years in the United States have been very difficult
……
Richard began to ponder, what to do? Do you want it or not?
Dazhi saw that Richard didn't speak on the phone. He was a little flustered.
"Uncle Li, I'm just asking you about it. It doesn't mean anything else. If it's inconvenient, let it go."
"No, Dazhi, tell your dad, let Mr. Zhang handle the passport as soon as possible. I hope he can finish the formalities before July, and then come here as soon as possible!" Richard just pondered for a moment and decided to let Zhang Weiping join his coaching team.
"Well? Uncle Li? Can you find a job? I'm talking about serious work, not the kind of work as a club cleaner... " Dazhi thought that Richard had promised a job similar to that of a cleaner.
After all, such a job, a team's head coach, want to arrange it, it is not difficult.
"Don't worry, Dazhi, it's my coaching team!" Richard didn't hide it, he told his plan directly.
Dazhi was surprised and went straight to Richard's coaching team?!
This is a good job! Enviable job!
When the pioneers signed for Stevens, they caused quite a stir in the basketball circle. The news reported a lot of information. Dazhi also saw Stevens with an annual salary of 500000 dollars!
Even Dazhi is envious of such a large salary!
At this time point in China, let alone a group of people with an annual salary of 500000 US dollars and 100000 RMB!"Uncle Li, are you serious? Do you really want to put Mr. Zhang in your coaching team? "
"Nature is true! Just tell them about it. Don't think about it. Practice your ball and prepare for next year's draft! "
……
After hanging up the phone, Richard's heart couldn't be calm for a long time!
Fate is so wonderful, because Richard was born in this world, Zhang Weiping's fate will be affected next!
It's likely that China will lack a basketball commentary by the nickname of Wei Ping Bryant in the future!
But there will be another coach who is used to playing in the NBA!
This is undoubtedly of great benefit to the development of Chinese basketball!
For Chinese basketball, Richard witnessed that the generation after Yao Ming's era is not as good as the generation, but there is no way to grieve.
And this world in his ability, he wants to change the trajectory of Chinese basketball!
It's hard though!
But it's worth it!
In addition to strengthening Chinese basketball, Zhang Weiping is also a capable person. Even in Richard's opinion, at least in the training of players, Zhang Weiping's level is higher than many NBA assistants!
There are trainers in the coaching team to guide the players in their daily training, such as shooting, free throws, defense, physical fitness, footstep and so on
And these trainers don't mean that everyone is like Jabbar's big shot!
Many of them have not played in professional league at all!
Will Zhang Weiping be worse than them?! impossible!
Asia's strongest forward is not a free nickname. He led China in three consecutive Asian Games titles and scored 25.3 points in the world championship!
194's height plays the second center in the national team, actually is the power forward position, the nickname under the basket magician, relies on is under the basket top step!
In the next batch of new recruits recruited by the trailblazers, there are a lot of insiders. This Chinese under basket magician can definitely play a significant role!
