Chapter 59 Wang Zhizhi

Wang Zhizhi's family lives in a mid-level villa area in Los Angeles.The entire villa covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters and is divided into 3 floors, including 14 bedrooms, 4 kitchens, 6 bathrooms and a basement indoor basketball court.

Wang Zhizhi's home is basically the most luxurious in that villa area, and it cost more than 300 million US dollars to buy it.

Naturally, you can’t make such a large sum of money, or even if you do, you are reluctant to spend such a large sum of money to buy a house.This villa was bought by roughly wife Song Yang.

Song Yang is an excellent businessman. In order to take care of Da Da, after Da Da went to the United States to play, Song Yang also shifted the focus of his career to the United States.Then I bought this villa in the Linghu villa area of ​​Los Angeles.

Later, he roughly transferred to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the couple settled here.

Wang Zhizhi, who broke his heart in Indiana in 02, severed ties with China.Except for his and Song Yang's relatives, almost all the friends he met in the domestic basketball circle no longer keep in touch.

However, Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng are exceptions. They and Wang Zhizhi played in the NBA at the same time.We meet several times a year, and it is obviously unrealistic to meet and not know each other.

So every time two juniors who are much better than himself come to Los Angeles, Wang Zhizhi will treat them to a meal and chat for a while about life in the United States.But Wang Zhizhi never talked about domestic affairs with them.

To be precise, since the summer of 02, Wang Zhizhi has not returned to China in the past two years.He has been staying in the United States to train and compete to improve his strength.

Wang Zhizhi was not reconciled. Back then, Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng, who were not far behind him in domestic strength, were even inferior to him, and both made their own world in the United States. Why couldn't he do it.

Standing at the gate of the Linghu villa area, Wang Shipeng hesitated: "Brother Yao, do we really want to go in? I'm worried that we will be kicked out."

Yao Ming glanced at Wang Shipeng, curled his lips and said, "How is it possible? He's not stupid at all. Do you think he really doesn't want to go back to China? No, he just can't turn the corner. He knows very well that we are here to send him the steps." .”

"Oh, you two big men are struggling." Ye Li used to be the ace center of the women's basketball team, so he also knew Wang Zhizhi, who was the main player of the men's basketball team at the time.He pushed away Wang Shipeng who were standing at the door, and pulled Yan Qingwu in.

Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng glanced at each other, well, don't think about it, let's go in.

At this time, in Wang Zhizhi's villa, he was lying on the sofa watching TV.And his new wife, Song Yang, was also sitting on the side.

"Generally, don't you really want to contact Dayao and A Peng? They have already arrived in Los Angeles. Besides, if you want to go back to China, you need them too." Song Yang watched the sports news about the Los Angeles All-Star Game on TV, thinking of just now Ask Wang Zhizhi about the news that Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng met at the airport.

"No rush, they're here to participate in the All-Star Game. I'm on vacation, and they're very busy. Let's talk about it before they leave Los Angeles after they're done."

Watching Wang Zhizhi sink into deep thought, Song Yang reluctantly got up and left the sofa to prepare lunch.Wang Zhizhi has been like this for a long time, he is always evading, even if he knows that the director of the basketball association who banned him stepped down more than a year ago, and the new director Wei welcomes him back to China, he does not know how to face it Domestic friends and colleagues.

Wang Zhizhi is a very emotional person, but his decisiveness is not enough.This is also the reason why he was trapped in the country for more than two years or even longer.After all, since Atlanta in 96, Mr. Nelson Sr. wanted to bring him to the NBA.

But both the Basketball Association and the Bayi team rejected his request to leave the team and go to the United States.He is the number one star in the new Chinese professional league, how could he be easily given up.

If Wang Zhizhi showed Yao Ming's determination, he would retire if he didn't allow it.I am afraid that Bayi and the Basketball Association will also have to take into account the losses caused by material issues and Wang Zhizhi's retirement.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he applied and played the game conscientiously. It took five years.

Wang Zhizhi still remembers that when he finally completed all the domestic procedures and came to Dallas, the old man who can be regarded as his own bole looked at him in disappointment and said: "Wang, I really can't imagine what you have gone through in the past few years. What? Why are you barely improving compared to five years ago?"

That's it, Wang Zhizhi became a substitute, Dirk Nowitzki's substitute.You know, Wang Zhizhi heard that Old Nelson hired Nowitzki as a substitute for him.

However, Wang Zhizhi's growth rate has almost stagnated in China, which changed all this.

Just as Wang Zhizhi was lying on the sofa recalling the past, the doorbell of the villa rang.

"Hello, who is it?" Song Yang opened the call.Wang Zhizhi also walked over curiously. He doesn't have many friends in Los Angeles, and no one usually comes here.

"It's me, Yao Ming." Yao Ming's thick voice came from the doorbell.

Song Yang glanced at Wang Zhizhi. He didn't want to contact the accomplished junior, and he even found reasons to say that he was busy, and now he came to him.

Wang Zhizhi blushed, of course he understood what his wife meant.He had no choice but to wave his hand and ask Song Yang to open the door.

"Yo, Ye Li, it turns out that A Peng is here too. Hello Qing Wu. Come in, everyone. I'll go prepare some fruit." Song Yang greeted the four guests and walked into the house.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too busy. Let the three men chat, let's talk about women." Seeing Song Yang go to the kitchen, Yao Ming gave Ye Li a wink, and Ye Li followed Yan Qingwu. .

Wang Zhizhi looked at Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng, and suddenly smiled: "I know what you are here for! I'm not a person who doesn't know good and bad, but I haven't made up my mind to give up the NBA, so give me some time."

Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.It seems that this task is much easier.

"Why do you want to give up the NBA? This is not a conflict." Wang Shipeng was a little puzzled when he thought of Wang Zhizhi's words. Back to CBA.

"Apeng, it doesn't matter to you who are the pride of heaven when you enter the league, but it doesn't matter to me. I know that you want me to return to the national team when you talk about returning to China, but I'm afraid you don't know , summer is the best opportunity for free agents to find a job, if I return to China now, will the national team allow me to return to China after playing the summer league every year?"

Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng were a little silent, yes, they almost ignored the biggest difference between Wang Zhizhi and the two of them.That is, almost all the contracts Wang Zhizhi took were insecure, and he needed to find a new job every summer.

"Generally, I think this summer, you actually have a better stage to show yourself than the summer league." Wang Shipeng said suddenly.

"You mean the Olympics?" Wang Zhizhi also understood what Wang Shipeng meant.

"That's right, the Olympics. You know, the standards of the Olympics are much higher than those of the Summer League. If you have a good performance in the Olympics, Yao Ming and I will talk to you again. I think the chances of success are not small."

Wang Zhizhi was silent.
