Old Nelson's idea of ​​forming a Chinese duo is really good, and even Bruce thinks it has room for manipulation.

Bruce does not know the entire starting roster of the Mavericks, but probably he still knows the list of players.

Let’s start by breaking off, point guard Jason Kidd, shooting guard Hu Weidong, small forward Grant Hill, power forward Antoine Walker, center Wang Zhizhi (just according to the combination imagined by old Nelson)

In addition to Wang Zhizhi’s colander, several other positions are indeed strong. Don’t say, Hu Weidong was definitely at his peak in the 90s. He could score 30 points in a friendly game with the Lakers. Isn't it awesome?

From this point of view, old Nelson's lineup may really be able to play a world in the West!

But what about the loophole?

Bruce did a serious research on the information of Chinese players who entered the NBA. It can be said that Wang Zhizhi was the first person he saw the information. Generally speaking, Bruce really likes him, he has a cheerful personality, and his strength is very good. It is a pity that he was born in the wrong time.

In fact, there were two major factors that ruined Wang Zhizhi at the time. One was domestic pressure, which made him start to drift away. The other was his style of play. At that time, Wang Zhizhi was the number one center in the country. Doubt, after all, Yao Ming hadn't gotten up at that time, but Wang Zhizhi was already a frequent visitor to the national team. Wang Zhizhi's inside attack and mid- and long-range shooting skills are first-class in China.

However, all NBA teams attach importance to the division of players' positions. The task of being a center is to attack, defend and play for outside players. The relatively poor of Dazhi's several techniques is the inside attack. One is that his physique is not strong enough, and the other is that there are too few opponents in the domestic inside line that can contend with Dazhi, and the lack of strong confrontation makes the improvement of Dazhi's internal combat technology unsatisfactory. And this is undoubtedly the Achilles' heel in the NBA.

Therefore, the old Nelson wants Wang Zhizhi to play center is completely wishful thinking.

Not to mention a giant like the Sharks, even with strong forwards such as Mourning and Avidas Sabonis, it is quite difficult to fight inside.

For the same reason, Dazhi's current strength is also unable to be a powerful forward.

The right place for Da Zhi in the NBA is actually a small forward. Da Zhi's outside attack power and height give him a great advantage against other small forwards. There is no tall small forward in the NBA. However, Dazhi is 2.13 meters tall to play a small forward. His high shot characteristics will make his opponents undefeated, and he can also use his flexibility and good defensive characteristics in one-on-one confrontations. It undoubtedly took a lot of advantage.

So when Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA, Bruce would remind him that he should generally play the small forward and power forward positions, and forget about the center.

Of course, this must also be done if the Sonics are willing to let Wang Zhizhi play like this. Bruce knows that the Supersonics will usher in the arrival of the famous coach Larry Brown next year. Is Wang Zhizhi able to enter Larry Brown’s eyes? Count a problem.

If it doesn’t work, it’s a big deal next year. Trading a lottery pick will probably bring it back to New York.

Lao Tzu just cultivated it by himself.

"Coach Nelson, to be honest, I don't recommend you use Wang Zhizhi to play inside. Why?"

"..."

Bruce explained Wang Zhizhi's question to Nelson in detail.

After listening to the old Nelson fell into silence, indeed, he only saw Wang Zhizhi's height advantage, but the physical advantage, this must pass the team system test or even trial training to reach a conclusion.

With regard to Wang Zhizhi's question, Nelson took it for granted.

"Coach Nelson, if you can guarantee that Wang Zhizhi will play the small forward for the Mavericks, then I can give you Wang Zhizhi. Of course, if you hesitate, then forget it..."

With regard to Wang Zhizhi’s issue, Bruce didn’t want to compromise either. Another 100 times would still have the same effect. Wang Zhizhi couldn’t play inside in the NBA. Of course, your old Nelson had to do it. Then let Wang Zhizhi be a substitute. Don’t think about it in the starting lineup. However, the general strength is not enough, including if he chooses Wang Zhizhi, he can only stay on the bench.

"I can't guarantee this, I need him to come to the team for a trial next year to know!"

Old Nelson is not busy expressing his position, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future!

Even if Wang Zhizhi is struggling to play inside, as long as you meet the requirements of the Mavericks in your trial training, he is completely willing to get Wang Zhizhi through a trade.

After all, Old Nelson is considered the best tactician in the league. Any player has considerable value in his hands. The nickname of a mad scientist is not for nothing.

Wang Zhizhi's position depends on how he arranges tactics when he arrives.

"Well, then, we can only wait for Wang Zhizhi's trial results next year!"

It seems that old Nelson still doesn't give up.

Even if the Mavericks get Wang Zhizhi, the fate is the same. In the early stage, he replaced Antoine Walker, and in the later stage, he would have to replace the driver. If this is the case, it is better to be cheap.

The determined Bruce also chatted with old Nelson casually and hung up the phone in a hurry.

...

After he hung up Old Nelson’s phone, Bruce thought about it calmly. He has been thinking about Wang Zhizhi’s future, whether to send to the Sonics as originally planned, or leave it to his mentor, Nelson, or himself. collected……

I have to say that Bruce is in a dilemma.

If I will be introduced to the Sonics in general, then the new head coach Larry Brown can give roughly how much time to play. As far as Bruce knows Larry Brown is not an easy master, not to mention that he is a bit exclusive, although Larry Brown Brown will look at Paul Allen to keep the team, but how to use it is up to the head coach, so maybe there is no room to play at the Sonics?

And if he was selected by the old Nelson, Bruce would not worry that Wang Zhizhi could not play, nor would he worry about Wang Zhizhi's problems in China, because the current Wang Zhizhi is not a system player. To put it bluntly, the domestic leaders cannot control him.

But even if it’s probably not a problem with the Mavericks, but leaving the Mavericks, Bruce doesn’t think that Cuban and the old Nelson can see in his face that they will probably keep the Chinese players like Hu Weidong until retirement. The NBA is a business league, as long as With enough price tag, Bruce believes that roughly they will still fall into the fate of being traded.

Hu Weidong didn't need to worry too much about Bruce. He wouldn't be able to fight for a few years. He was mainly involved in retirement.

Later, in 2011, the NBA will launch player pension and 401(k) savings plans:

The pensions for NBA players, called "PlayerPension Benefits", are "player retirement benefits" and are stipulated to be enjoyed only after players have been in the league for at least three seasons.

According to U.S. media reports, the NBA divides players’ pensions into three ranges, namely:

1. At the age of 45, the minimum receiving is US$12,770 and the maximum receiving is US$42500;

2. At the age of 50, the minimum receiving amount is 19,160 U.S. dollars and the maximum receiving amount is 63,866 U.S. dollars;

3. At the age of 62, the minimum receiving amount is US$56,988, and the maximum receiving amount is US$195,000.

In the above data, the minimum receiving standard is that you can receive it after you have worked in the league for three years, and the highest receiving standard is that you can receive it after you have been in the alliance for ten years. This money is a one-year pension, not a one-month pension.

Of course, as far as this plan is currently concerned, neither Hu Weidong nor Wang Zhizhi can enjoy it. Even Yao Ming who is behind is also very concerned that he will have to play in the league until 2012 to get this benefit. Yi Jianlian does not need to worry about it at all. As long as the character is tuned to the point of being kind and gregarious, it will be perfect until 2012.
