Zhang Luo was also surprised when he received a call from Dayao.
What surprised him was not how Big Yao found his number, but why he was looking for him.
Zhang Luo admired Big Yao very much. He had become an NBA superstar without a system and entered the Hall of Fame after retirement. This achievement was unique.
"Alo, it's Yao Ming." Big Yao's voice was very mellow, similar to what he had heard on television in his previous life.
"Hello, Brother Ming." Zhang Luo replied politely.
"I thought you would call me Brother Yao." Yao Ming smiled. He was a little surprised by Zhang Luo's way of addressing him.
"That's someone else," said Zhang Luo with a smile.
Yao Ming laughed." That's true. You're very special. You're also unique on the court.”
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Dayao got down to business.
"Alo, what do you think of this year's Olympics?”
"It's a national event, a big stage to showcase the country's comprehensive strength.”
"Well, are you willing to represent the national team in this year's Olympics?”
" Of course, I'll do it!!"
"Alright then, on behalf of the organizing committee, I formally invite you to join the national training team.”
"Alright, I'll do my best!"
Hearing that he could participate in the 2008 Olympics, Zhang Luo was very excited.
The significance of this year's Olympics was extraordinary.
The 2008 Olympics was the peak of the men's basketball team. At least after the 21st century, no national team could compete with them.
Although the men's basketball team only entered the top eight, they had competed with the Dream Team for half a game, defeated Dirk Nowitzki, and almost defeated Spain. All of these were the glory of the men's basketball team.
The most regrettable thing for Zhang Luo in his previous life was losing to Spain in overtime.
Now, Zhang Luo had the opportunity to team up with the domestic star players of the golden generation of 2008 to fight against strong teams from all over the world. Wearing a red jersey to represent the country on the highest stage at home was an honor in itself.
He had the strength to help the national team!
If Zhang Luo refused, he would probably be kicked out of the house by his father…
In Zhang Luo's parents 'family education since he was young, patriotic was the first.
Zhang Luo and Yao Ming chatted a lot.
The training team had not only invited 12 players, but a total of 24 players. However, the general list was basically confirmed. Only two or three places needed to be finalized. Zhang Luo's participation in the training was just a formality.
Because he was busy with the draft, he needed to stay here to participate in the NBA team's trial training. Zhang Luo also explained his situation to Big Yao.
Big Yao was very familiar with the situation in the NBA. He also told Zhang Luo that he would communicate with the person in charge of the Basketball Association.
Things were different now. With the efforts of Big Yao and Dazhi, it was easier to understand the special circumstances of the players.
Zhang Luo's various records in the NCAA also ensured that he would receive special treatment!
.............
After agreeing to participate in the 08 Olympics, Zhang Luo threw himself into a new round of training and trial training.
Austin was very professional. He had arranged a full schedule for Zhang Luo to ensure that Zhang Luo would not fall behind during the trial training.
Zhang Luo also invited Ross for his closed-door training. The cost was paid by his agent and Ross 'agent.
The money would be returned to the manager after the two of them got the contract.
As a popular NBA rookie, they didn't need to think too much about the cost of training.
Ross was also happy to train with Zhang Luo to prepare for the NBA.
To Ross, Zhang Luo was a friend who could share the bear candy with him.
This kind of friendship had little to do with the size of the contract they would sign in the future.
"Cuckoo, Zhang, your Golden Rooster is too bugged. It can't be blocked at all.”Ross said in surprise.
With three professional trainers accompanying them for special training, Ross watched as Zhang Luo kept blasting the trainers at the free throw line.
"Heh, I haven't fully mastered this move yet. It will be even more powerful in the future.”
"Nowitzki doesn't look as strong as you.”
Nowitzki didn't jump as high as Zhang Luo.
"Fighting is different. His move has been honed by many defenders, but I haven't.”
"Right, how tall are you exactly? Why am I only at your neck?”
"I don't know either."
"I'll get a ruler to measure it."
Ross excitedly ran over to get the ruler and measured Zhang Luo's height.
"7'2'15" F * ck, you're actually 2'15 "!!”Ross 'eyes almost popped out.
Ross cursed.
Zhang Luo was too abnormal.
Zhang Luo was also a little surprised. He seemed to have grown taller.
"You're so tall. You'll probably be playing center in the NBA.”
"Hey, isn't that simple? Just report it to 2.05 meters. I'll continue to play as a small forward. It's too easy to get injured playing as a center forward.”
"2.05 meters, haha, you're a little too much.”
"If you measure me again, I'll say that I've grown taller.”
Nowadays, it was common for NBA players to fake their height. The league did not force players to report their true height.
Thinking back to Bagley in his previous life, 2.03 meters reported 2.11 meters…
They reported to the higher ups, but Zhang Luo just changed the direction.
.........
After entering the special training, Zhang Luo would occasionally participate in the trial training of some of the teams with the top draft picks.
Of course, for the sake of his AC profile, Zhang Luo didn't go for every trial. He had to go for individual trials to show his uniqueness.
As for the joint trial?
Zhang Luo would be too LOW if he didn't participate in that…
May passed quickly, and Zhang Luo's trial training went smoothly. Many teams gave him a guarantee.
However, this kind of order guarantee had no effect on Zhang Luo. Whoever had the highest draft order would have a chance to own him.
At the beginning of June, Zhang Luo chose to return to China.
There were two things to do when he returned to China. One was to accompany his parents, and the other was to participate in the last few days of training for the national team. Although he would be on the list, it was not good to not participate at all.
When he returned, he would be participating in the talent show.
Zhang Luo's family lived in a small third-tier city in the southern province.
During the Spring Festival, Zhang Luo did not go home because he did not have a holiday to prepare for the NCAA. He had not seen his parents for a long time.
Father Zhang taught sports. After Zhang Luo became famous, he was transferred to a key high school in the city as a coach. Zhang Luo learned basketball under his influence.
Zhang Luo was the only son in the family and was very doted on. His parents drove to the airport to pick him up.
"Dad, Mom." Seeing his parents, Zhang Luo didn't feel any sense of strangeness. Everything was so natural.
"Good boy, you've grown taller again." Father Zhang patted Zhang Luo's shoulder.
"Isn't this hereditary?" Zhang Luo laughed.
Mr. Zhang was almost two meters tall, and Mrs. Zhang was 1.8 meters tall. Zhang Luo's height was inherited from them.
"If you grow too tall, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future.”Auntie Zhang said worriedly.
"What are you worrying about? Ah Luo is famous now and can earn money in the future. Many female celebrities like him.”Father Zhang said.
"Son, let's not find a female celebrity. Let's find someone who lives a down-to-earth life.”Auntie Zhang said.
....
On the way home, Zhang Luo's parents nagged at him.
They didn't care whether Zhang Luo could be selected and how big the contract was. They were more concerned about whether Zhang Luo's training would be too hard and whether he would encounter any difficulties in life in a foreign country.
The current Zhang Luo no longer despised his parents for being naggy like before. He would handle his relationship with his parents more mature.
After all, in this world, only his parents were the most selfless to him.
Once they got home, Nanny Zhang made all kinds of tonic dishes and stewed all kinds of soups for Zhang Luo.
Father Zhang used his free time to bring Zhang Luo to play basketball with his old friends.
Zhang Luo was a well-known rising star in the country. He had a chance to enter the NBA. Now, he was on the national team and was about to play in the Olympics. Zhang Luo made him proud.
Zhang Luo rested at home for a whole week before flying to the national team training team!
