Zhang Guan’s participation in the men’s basketball team shocked everyone’s attention.
"The Zhang Guan on the 19-man training list of the Basketball Association is actually Zhang Guan! How is this possible? It is most likely a media hype!"
"Yes, this group of unscrupulous media must be fabricating fake news in order to attract attention. Just wait, the Basketball Association will definitely refute the rumors soon."
However, as time passed and the men's basketball team gathered closer and closer on March 8, the Basketball Association did not come out to refute the rumors, and neither did Yunas, as if they had not seen the fans' comments at all.
"Is Zhang Guan on the training list really Zhang Guan?" Many people already believe this.
At this time, a relatively familiar media finally interviewed Zhang Guan’s agent team, the Champions Team, and the Champions Team also confirmed that Zhang Guan on the Basketball Association’s training list was indeed Zhang Guan himself.
However, the storm did not subside. After some fans calmed down, various doubts followed.
"Zhang Guan is not a basketball player, how can he enter the national team!"
"There are so many basketball players in our country who have not entered the national team. Why do we have to choose Zhang Guan?"
"Zhang Guan has no competition experience at all, but he can enter the national team. There must be something shady about it!"
"Are there no people left in our CBA league? Are we going to let track and field athletes take over?"
"Zhang Guan must have entered the national team through the back door!"
For domestic fans, especially senior fans, it is absolutely unacceptable for Zhang Guan, a non-basketball player, to enter the national team. Even though Zhang Guan is very famous, even though Zhang Guan has achieved world-renowned achievements, he is not a basketball player.
Fans all hope that the men's basketball team can achieve good results in the Olympics. Of course, they hope that each member of the national team will be a strong player. However, the selection of the men's basketball team over the years has indeed not been transparent enough. It is normal that it cannot gain the trust of fans and anything. of.
At the same time, many fans are also very opinionated. For example, during the game, some fans often think that the coach's arrangements are not good, that a certain player on the field is not good, that such and such should be off the field, such and such should be on the field, and that certain tactics should be used. , and he speaks the truth very clearly, and I feel that I am better than the coach. You can't reason with this kind of fans for a year. They will only insist on recognizing their own opinions. If the players don't produce good results, they will definitely not be able to conquer them.
In addition, many domestic stars are also unconvinced by this result. They have trained hard for more than ten years but cannot enter the national team. Zhang Guan, a man who has never played basketball for a day, has entered the national team with 19 players. How can you not make people jealous with your training squad
Shortly after the 2004 Olympics, the national team announced a reserve list of more than 50 men's basketball players for the 2008 Olympics. After years of running-in and elimination, new players continued to be added, and this year only 19 were left. There is a big list of players, and in this list, the positions of Dayao, Arab League, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, etc. are basically fixed, which means that there are very few places for the six other players. There are so many domestic players. With multiple players vying for these spots, it was originally a matter of breaking one's head. Now that Zhang Guan is allowed to take away one, of course it is impossible for the other players to be mentally balanced.
In fact, the most critical thing is that Zhang Guan failed to achieve results in basketball. Just like when Zhang Guangang appeared on the tennis court at the beginning of last year, foreigners also questioned the shady conduct of the Australian Open organizers and said that Zhang Guang was a "backdoor player." However, after Zhang Guang performed well, the direction of public opinion also changed, especially When it came to Wimbledon and the US Open, there were even more voices supporting Zhang Guan's victory.
The same is true now. Zhang Guan has never achieved good results in the basketball field. Of course, everyone is questioning Zhang Guan.
…
Zhuge Wenbo handed several newspapers to Zhang Guan and said at the same time: "Public opinion is very unfavorable to us! Everyone started to complain about the Basketball Association, and you were brought along, but now you have almost become the main one. Target."
Zhang Guan took over the newspaper, and the first newspaper report was full of conspiracy theories.
"Zhang Guan has been designated as the flag bearer of the national team at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games":
"According to traditional practice, the flag bearers of the national team at the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in previous years have been basketball players. But in this year's Olympic Games, the national team obviously hopes that Zhang Guanlai will be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The problem is that Zhang Guan is not a member of the men's basketball team. In order to make Zhang Guan the flag bearer at the opening ceremony without breaking the tradition, recruiting Zhang Guan to the men's basketball team and making him a member of the men's basketball team is a choice that everyone is happy with. However, if you do this, I am afraid there will be an outstanding player. Basketball players cannot enter the Olympic Games. I wonder if the formation of one less player will have any impact on Coach Yunus!"
Zhang Guan looked at the report with a strange look on his face, and then said: "This reporter can really think about it. I even admire his imagination!"
"There are many similar speculations, and I have marked them for you." Zhuge Wenbo pointed at the newspaper, and at this moment, Zhuge Wenbo's cell phone rang.
"I'll pick up the call from the United States." Zhuge Wenbo walked aside and picked up the phone.
After a while, Zhuge Wenbo came back and said to Zhang Guan: "This is a call from Johnson, a former colleague of mine. He is now a middle-level manager at CAA, and the purpose of the call is for you."
"For me? What is this American going to do?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Johnson saw the news in the United States that you were going to play basketball, so he wanted to ask if you are interested in participating in this year's NBA draft." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "CAA knew that I was your agent, so Johnson called directly. I."
"What? Let me participate in the NBA draft? This is too whimsical!" Zhang Guan said in surprise.
"Americans have always been whimsical. And this matter is also good for a top agency like CAA." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"What's the benefit?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.
"For the Chinese market, CAA's competition in the U.S. domestic market is fierce. They are eager to find new markets. The European market is obviously mature, and CAA may not be able to gain much profit after entering, so they need to find emerging markets. market. And where is the largest emerging market in the world?" Zhuge Wenbo smiled and then said: "As far as I know, Dayao brings more than 100 million US dollars in revenue to Rockets owner Alexander every year in the NBA, so now The entire American sports community attaches great importance to the Chinese market."
"What does that have to do with me participating in the NBA draft? I haven't even played in a formal basketball game, and I also have to prepare for the Olympics. It's impossible for me to try out like other rookies. It's impossible for a team to select me. Yes. Even if I am selected, I may not really go to the NBA to play." Zhang Guan said.
"CAA just wants to use you as a breakthrough. As for whether you go to the NBA or not, it actually doesn't matter to CAA." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "Johnson told me that if you are willing to participate in the NBA draft, they can help You run an operation that at least guarantees you'll be drafted by some team in the second round."
"Can draft picks also work?" Zhang Guan asked uncertainly.
"Of course, there is no problem with the second-round pick. I think there must be a team that is willing to use a second-round pick to sell CAA a favor." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "How about it, there is Not tempted? Do you want to try the NBA draft?"
