Basketball Association.
"Director Hu, coach Yunas of the national team submitted an application today and wants to invite Zhang Guan to participate in the trial training." Section Chief Feng reported.
Director Hu continued to review the documents in his hand. He did not raise his head, but directly agreed: "Oh, I understand. Yunus is the head coach of the national team. As long as he is an athlete from our country, which team should be valued? Just go and ask for someone. For something as trivial as a tryout, there is no need to go back to the association... Wait a minute, who did you say you invited?"
Director Hu suddenly raised his head. He was not sure about the name he just heard.
"Zhang Guan. Coach Yunas wants to invite Zhang Guan to participate in a trial training." Section Chief Feng repeated it again.
"Zhang Guan? There is someone named Zhang Guan in our CBA? Which team is he from? What position does he play?" Director Hu asked.
"Director Hu, the Zhang Guan that Coach Yunus wants to invite is the Zhang Guan!" Although Section Chief Feng's words were convoluted, Director Hu immediately understood.
"That Zhang Guan! What is Yunus doing? Let Zhang Guan come to the national team for trial training? He is not a basketball player! This is too unreliable!" Director Hu said as if talking to himself.
"I read the news two days ago that Zhang Guangang won the Grand Slam in tennis, which is the highest honor in tennis. At that time, the Sports Federation even issued a special notice to commend them. Last month, they even held a commendation meeting at the Tennis Center. I heard that Zhang Guan should be participating in some Masters Cup right now, the sports channel is still broadcasting live!" Section Chief Feng seemed to say casually, but in fact he was observing his words.
Director Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he said: "In this way, since Zhang Guan can play tennis, it is also okay to play basketball!"
It only took Director Hu a few seconds to change from "Yunas is unreliable" to "Zhang Guanlai can play basketball" now. It can be said that he fell out of favor faster than flipping through a book.
Section Chief Feng asked cautiously: "Director Hu, Zhang Guan is not a professional basketball player after all. Is it appropriate to let him try out for the national team? There are only so many places for the national team to try out. Let a non-professional basketball player come. Other professional players might have some ideas... "
"What if he has an idea! Just with the word 'Zhang Guan', it's not an exaggeration to let him enter the final twelve-man roster of the national team!" Director Hu showed an incomprehensible smile.
"This..." Section Chief Feng was slightly startled. He felt that Director Hu's words were a bit too full. Although Zhang Guan is very famous and holds a lot of world championships and world records, there is a saying that every line is like a mountain. It is always so inappropriate to allow non-basketball players to enter the final twelve-man roster of the national team. of.
Director Hu chuckled and said, "We are all our own people anyway, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Just this week, the Tennis Center took action. They applied to the General Administration of Sports and asked Zhang Guan to make up for this year's advertising endorsement income. The development fund will be all turned over to the Tennis Center. And the Tennis Center also gave its own basis, that is, Zhang Guan has been playing tennis this year, so the advertising endorsements are brought by tennis, so the sports development fund should also be funded by tennis. The center collects the money and uses it to develop the tennis industry.”
"Zhang Guan's advertising endorsement income should be quite high, right? It must be several hundred million!" Section Chief Feng nodded silently.
"I attended a meeting a few days ago, and an expert happened to make an estimate. Zhang Guan's advertising endorsement income this year is estimated to be 300 million. After paying taxes, it must be 250 million and a half, 15% It would be close to 40 million!" Director Hu continued: "But this is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is next year. Next year is the Olympic year, and we are hosting the Olympics ourselves. How much do you think Zhang Guanhui is worth? Five One hundred million? One billion?"
"So many!" Section Chief Feng showed a surprised expression.
"It's impossible for the Tian Guan Center to give all the money to the Tennis Center. I guess it's not impossible for the two families to have a falling out over the money! The final result is likely to be coordinated by the Sports Federation and the two families will follow certain rules. The money is divided according to the ratio. So, if Zhang Guan is also a member of our national basketball team, when the money is divided next year, we can also get a share of the pie!" Director Hu explained.
Section Chief Feng suddenly said as if he was enlightened: "What a brilliant move! Director, this is really a brilliant move! I think this alone can increase the income of our center by at least tens of millions every year! Then our funds will be sufficient."
Director Hu accepted Section Chief Feng's flattery very much. He continued: "Anyway, basketball only requires five people on the court. Generally, a rotation of ten people is enough. Those two extra people basically have no chance to play. Twelve people The final quota is given to Zhang Guan, and there are eleven others, so it won’t have much impact. If anyone else comes up, can they get as much funding for us as Zhang Guan? Moreover, Zhang Guan is also famous, so choosing him By joining the national team, we can also ask for more money from sponsors. The most important thing is that Yunus seems to be very optimistic about Zhang Guan. He is the head coach after all. He has no objection. We are also happy to be a favor. We are rich and have people. If you don’t do things that make money from love, you won’t do them in vain!”
"Then I understand. I'm going to reply to Yunus now." Section Chief Feng said.
"Well, tell Yunas, if you really think Zhang Guan can do it, our Basketball Association will do our best to help and support him in Zhang Guan's work, and strive to introduce Zhang Guan to the national team!" Director Hu said. .
…
Coach Yunus did not expect the Basketball Association to agree so happily. However, Zhang Guan was participating in the Tennis Masters at the time, so Coach Yunus did not contact the championship team immediately. Instead, he waited until the Masters was over before sending someone to find He Yiming. , sent an invitation to Zhang Guan for a trial training.
"Invite me to try out for the men's basketball team?" Zhang Guan was slightly surprised when he heard the news on his cell phone. He was not a professional basketball player, so why would the men's basketball team invite him for a tryout
"Did Dayao mention it to the senior executives of the Basketball Association? No, this year's NBA has already started. Dayao should be staying in Houston now. And although Dayao is very well-known, he has not been mentioned by the senior executives of the Basketball Association. It's impossible for him to have such a say. Even Dayao doesn't have a say, and then other players even less." Zhang Guan thought silently.
Then, he said: "Brother He, help me find out why the men's basketball team asked me to try out."
"Okay, that's no problem. Do you plan to go?" He Yiming asked.
"Go! It's not a Hongmen Banquet, so why not go!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
