From their banter, Zhang Hao had roughly understood the whole story.
It turned out that when Scott Collins handed him the draft registration form in May, he had already prepared a fallback for him, actively helping him secure a first-round spot.
He just didn't tell him, wanting him to venture into the adult basketball world and understand that nothing cos without effort.
He rembered that during the trial with the Pistons, he didn't even et their head coach...
The emotions in his heart were beyond words.
However, Zhang Hao thought it might just be Scott Collins' quirky sense of humor?
They didn't chat much about other things, and after lunch, the ntor and ntee hurriedly parted ways.
After all, they were from other teams—the head coach and player developnt coach—even though the rules are still imperfect these days, and there are no such regulations, if a reporter captured them, it might be brought up for issues that involve them in the future.
They had already entered the NBA, so there would be plenty of opportunities to et in the future.
…
After lunch, Zhang Hao returned to The Palace of Auburn Hills, without wandering outside.
They said it was safer than other parts of Detroit, but as soon as Zhang Hao stepped out of the restaurant, he was stopped by a white girl in a sports car who asked, "50 bucks to get in?"
Unbelievably, those in this line of work have decent figures and looks. Zhang Hao was shocked and ran back to The Palace of Auburn Hills without going out.
Such a pretty girl actually ca out to rob!
This ti it's money; next ti, who knows if it'll be for other things!
Zhang Hao went to the away locker room and looked at himself in the mirror, it seed quite possible!
Luckily, from 11:30 to over 1 o'clock, Imperial Channel wasn't filming.
He changed into his training clothes early, and Imperial Channel had already set up the equipnt to continue shooting.
More interviews, about the opponent tonight.
For the docuntary, all the answers were prepared, and after the interview, the shooting continued.
Zhang Hao acted like there was no one around and said, "Take a good rest to prepare for tonight's ga. Zhang Hao, this is your first career ga, go for it!"
Then he went to the lounge and took a nap. At three o'clock, Kenny Anderson woke him up. The others returned to the arena and needed so ti.
After being awakened, Zhang Hao stretched his body and once again perford a rehearsed dialogue with Kenny Anderson, then began the pre-ga preparations.
Warm-up, shooting practice, cutting drills, lateral movent training... The preseason brought many benefits to Zhang Hao.
Besides adapting to adult gas, learning to better control his significantly improved static resistance... there's also that his warm-up sessions have beco increasingly enriching.
He can rest, relax, watch TV, or play gas when disinclined to work, but when he undertakes sothing, he needs to give his all and strive to do his best.
This is Zhang Hao's current attitude towards his precious ti: doing a ti-consuming task without doing it well is truly wasting ti.
Initially, Vaughn Fleming, this veteran, felt embarrassed seeing Zhang Hao devote himself entirely to his warm-up. At his age, he had never imrsed himself in warm-ups so thoroughly. After playing two preseason gas, he followed Zhang Hao's lead.
Actually, what Zhang Hao did in every aspect was simple; anyone could do it, but few are as patient to prepare so thoroughly for a ga. Vaughn Fleming emulated Zhang Hao in making sure to perform every step well, and once his body adapted, it naturally reached its peak state achievable at the ti.
After persisting, Vaughn Fleming realized that sotis things weren't that difficult or complex—sticking to it was crucial. His two-hour warm-up ti, five years ago at his peak, he would never have done it, but now he regretted it.
"Ah, if only I had t a teammate like Aix earlier, perhaps Reggie did this too, but he ward up alone in a separate room…"
Of course, not everyone is like Vaughn Fleming, willing to learn from a rookie. Most still warm up however they did before, except him and Kenny Anderson, and another person who followed Zhang Hao's lead turned out to be Jason Williams…
When warming up was done, waiting for the entrance, Kenny Anderson leaned over to Zhang Hao with a sigh: "Aix, tell why I'm so handso yet only made the All-Star starting lineup once, while Hardaway is so ugly but managed to squeeze out of the All-Star starting lineup..."
Today, many, many dia outlets ca to The Palace of Auburn Hills, the Brooklyn Nets players all saw it.
However, those who ca to interview them were few.
Seeing that the neighboring team, notorious, with a talented rookie, was drawing overwhelming popularity, Zhang Hao felt a bit envious.
Even if he didn't care about the dia or public opinions, he still felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Who wouldn't want to be the All-Star vote-leader as a rookie?
At this mont, Zhang Hao completely understood why Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway were so hated.
Zhang Hao rely had such thoughts, while the person next to him, who was pushed out of the All-Star starting lineup by Anfernee Hardaway, was genuinely extrely displeased.
Last season, Anfernee Hardaway, in his sophomore year, snatched Kenny Anderson's All-Star starting spot.
