The older superstars of the NBA

"Yao, I don't understand, why is it that no one listens to me when I speak to the team even though I am the head coach?"

In Yao Ming's office, coach Denzel was complaining to him.

The players' attitude baffled him and made him unhappy. After Yao Ming learned of the situation, he was not anxious, but continued to comfort coach Denzel.

"Denzel, you are indeed the nominal head coach of the team...but there is nothing I can do about this kind of thing! They are all adults! I can't decide who they want to listen to... "

"Haven't you heard a saying? Power comes from recognition rather than empowerment! It doesn't mean that everyone will listen to you when we make you the head coach. Although this is generally the case, it also happens like this. situation......"

"Zhao obviously got their approval. No matter what method he used, he did it..."

Yao Ming's words made Coach Denzel very helpless.

He was not an ignorant person. He sat there and thought for a while, and finally decided not to pursue the matter any further.

"All right!"

"Who told me to sign a contract with you? I will continue to perform my duties! I can leave the training to him, but I will still direct the official games in the future..."

Coach Denzel said.

Regarding this, Yao Ming is more assured than him, "You don't have to worry, Zhao is not interested in directing the game, and there will be different arrangements when the time comes..."

"what?"

"I won't tell you now, you will know later..."

After Coach Denzel left, Yao Ming also picked up a file bag on the table, which contained the roster of the national men's basketball team for the Asian and African Championships.

The list submitted this time is the official list. What is different from the previous one is that in addition to the main lineup, the substitute lineup on this list has not actually been completely determined.

After Zhao Feiyang recruited new young players, it greatly stimulated the players' mentality, making those who previously thought they could sit back and relax if they were lazy no longer dare to be lazy.

The arrival of these young players also gives the team more options. After the one-month training, those who should stay will naturally stay, and those who want to leave will definitely leave.

Of course, the most conspicuous name on this list is none other than Zhao Feiyang.

Not only did he appear on the team's list of assistant coaches, he was also placed on the team's twelve-man roster for official games.

It's just that he doesn't know about this at all at the moment.

After coach Denzel failed to seek help from Yao Ming, he simply let Zhao Feiyang lead the team training. Of course, in private, he also expressed his position to Zhao Feiyang that once the team officially competes, he will never give up his command power.

Regarding Coach Denzel's words, Zhao Feiyang directly reassured him.

Time flies so fast, and the one-month special training is over in the blink of an eye. During this period, Adrian and Ennis have worked hard. They spent almost the whole day with the players, not only imparting many skills and experience, but sometimes even serving as their own sparring partners.

With their best efforts, the progress of the young players has been very obvious, especially physical fitness and confrontation. These two aspects have simply undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even Tang Yijie, who was extremely weak before, has become much stronger after a month of training. His physical confrontation is no longer the same as before, and there is no longer any evasive action.

One month is up and the three of them are leaving.

On the day the three Adrians left, the entire national men's basketball team came to see them off. Zhao Feiyang talked to a few people outside the training base and handed them three checks worth one million each.

Dwight Howard didn't think too much and grinned happily after accepting the check. But neither Zach LaVine nor Adrian was in a hurry. After taking the check, they looked at each other and then put it back in Zhao Feiyang's hands.

"Zhao, we know that you took this money yourself... Although the training is very hard, you are our brother, and we cannot ask for this money..."

"That's right! The relationship between us is far more important than the money. If it was just for the money, we wouldn't come at all..."

The words of LaVine and Adrian not only stunned Howard on the side, but also stunned the players behind Zhao Feiyang.

Everyone has heard about remuneration, but they don’t know what the specific situation is! Whether it is Howard or the young players, they have always believed that the money was paid by the national team.

Now that Adrian told Raven the truth, it gave them another small shock.

"What? Isn't this money provided by the national team?"

"Are you kidding...Can the national team easily spend three million US dollars? Anyway, I don't believe it..."

"Damn it! Brother Feiyang is so handsome! Three million U.S. dollars is a lot! If converted into RMB, it would be more than 20 million... Even if I were allowed to fight for another five or six years, I would still You may not be able to earn so much money!”

The players were buzzing.

Howard couldn't help but ask, "Zhao, did you pay for this out of your own pocket?"

Zhao Feiyang originally didn't want anyone else to know, but now he could hide it when he saw it, so he quickly shook his head.

"Dwight, do you know how much Zhao Lai's salary is for coaching the Chinese national team's men's basketball team? It's only five million..."

Adrian on the side explained, "We were a little surprised when we saw it on the news... We thought the treatment was average, but we didn't expect it to be so average..."

"Five million? Five million is a lot!"

"Dwight, the five million dollars Adrian talked about were not US dollars, but RMB. That's more than seven hundred thousand US dollars..."

"what?"

Now it was Howard's turn to be surprised!

After Zhao Feiyang led the team to win another championship, with his current status, he can easily earn more than 700,000 dollars by endorsing any product in the United States, which can even be said to be many times that amount!

If you don't really love it, you can't find any explanation for doing such hard work for such a small amount of money!

"No! I can't ask for this money either..."

Seeing that none of the three people wanted it, Zhao Feiyang also hurriedly tried to persuade him, "This money is nothing to me! If you don't want it, then don't call me a brother in the future..." Just take the money and leave quickly..."

"I will come back to New York to see you after I finish my work in China..."

Anyway, the three of them finally accepted the money.

After they left, Zhao Feiyang turned around and was about to go back to the players' dormitory, but he didn't expect that a group of young players were looking at him.

"what happened?"

Zhao Feiyang was a little surprised.

"Fuck! Coach, you are so great!"

"Coach, if I had known you were willing to spend so much money, you would have given me half of it! I only need half a million dollars, and when I get on the court, I can do whoever you want me to do! Even if I run to my death on the court, I will do it." My own, I will never let you be implicated in any way..."

"I have never convinced anyone before! This time I really convinced you! There is no one else but you who is willing to sacrifice your own time and spend your own money to help the national team..."
