On May 1st, Zhang Hao went to shoot an advertisement for McDonald's. It was a very simple advertisement, catching and shooting, dunking, just these two actions, and then there was the happy scene of a group of people meeting to eat at McDonald's after the game It's just an extra act, or an extra act in an advertisement.
Taking advantage of the popularity, the advertisement came out soon, and Zhang Hao also appeared on TV again, finally showing his face.
Time passed day by day, and Zhang Hao went to the arena to train for four or five hours every day, which was very boring. However, he was so bored for more than two years and nearly three years after coming to the United States, so he persisted.
On May 8th, finally, the subtitle prompts came!
¡°Growth Card: The mid-range shooting expert has successfully used it.
The muscle memory bonus for mid-range shooting training has ended, and the bonus for mid-range shooting training comprehension ability has ended. "
¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation: 65
Skills: 54 ball control, 43 passing, 86 catching and shooting"
After more than a week of training, his mid-range shooting has been improving rapidly. When his strong mid-range shooting skill improved to 90, his ability evaluation finally exceeded 65!
Basically, he only has mid-range shooting and pie-eating abilities. That¡¯s it, his ability evaluation is about to catch up with Pierce!
This made Zhang Hao once again understand the importance of having a strong point. He knew a lot about the NBA in the era of information explosion in the future. There were many players who were quite versatile in college and seemed to know everything, but in the NBA they became high draft picks. Rookies, the reason is that those players are good at everything, but not good at anything. When they were in college, it was not obvious that there was any problem. At most, they suffered when playing against the same top college students. But in the NBA, all opponents are not as strong as the best in college. His opponent was weak, even if he was a substitute, he was the all-powerful presence in the NCAA back then, so no one could beat him, and his NBA career ended hastily.
With an NBA-level mid-range shot of 90, Zhang Hao really wanted to shout: "Who else is there!"
However, due to his always noble and cool image in the school team, Zhang Hao held back. After all, he only had one absolute strong point.
In addition to the improvement in mid-range shooting, his strength has also improved in the past period of time, because he has specialized in strength training. He has reached 76 from the early 70s at the beginning. However, due to weight constraints and the lack of real strength training, his strength has also been improved. Compared with a guy like Pierce who has a first-class level in the NBA, he is still far behind. He weighs more than 100 kilograms and is also a strong type. If Pierce loses fat and strengthens muscle training, his strength can still go up one or two levels. .
The three-point ability value has also been improved to 49, the layup value has been improved to 86, and the catching and shooting has been practiced recently, and it has been improved to 86.
During training, Scott Collins, the head coach of the school team, would come to help Zhang Hao practice catching and shooting when he was free. Zhang Hao also practiced very hard, but catching and shooting was his strength. If he wanted to It¡¯s difficult to improve too much. For this skill, actual combat is more important than training, but games don¡¯t happen every day, so we can only train for now. However, due to the rapid improvement in mid-range shooting, the catching and shooting has also improved reasonably, breaking through the 85 ability. A small bottleneck of value, reaching 86 catch and shoot.
¡¡
On the evening of the 8th, Zhang Hao invited Pierce, April Clark, and a white female high school tennis player who was a teammate of April Clark¡¯s school team to have dinner together.
April Clark brought a female companion for Pierce's sake.
But Pierce is really a talkative man, and he doesn¡¯t understand what April Clark means at all. Pierce is very good at talking to people and dealing with all kinds of people. But in that aspect, he has no awareness at all. nothing.
Pierce took a big bite of a chicken leg and asked while chewing: "Akers, how many days will it take you to go to the Adidas training camp?"
Zhang Hao responded: "About 8 days, I will report tomorrow, and the training camp will be from the 10th to the 16th. If I can make the roster for the final game, I will have to stay another day."
"You can definitely get in. I got in last year. Your recent progress has been too fast. Your mid-range shot wow, it's true. I have to train hard too. I accidentally got passed by you when I was in college. What should you do if you blow up? No! I must train hard, and my mother has seen me a little impatient recently. I have to stay in the gym more. After three weeks of rest, it¡¯s time to train hard"
Pierce is in chatterbox mode again. The school¡¯s other two sports figures, Zhang Hao and April Clark, have long been used to it. As the school¡¯s top sports figures,Players, they spend more time together, but they used to take care of Zhang Hao, but now Zhang Hao has become more proactive;
"April, the exam is coming up in two days. How are you preparing?"
"I don't have much confidence"
"You will definitely be admitted to college. When you become a drama artist, I will definitely buy tickets to watch your performances every day."
"You will definitely get a college basketball scholarship through this training camp, but you don't need to buy tickets. As an actor, you must have family tickets. You give me the money and I will give you the tickets"
As they chatted, the topic of college came up. Pierce sighed: "I never thought it would be so difficult for international students to get sports scholarships."
Speaking of this, Zhang Hao's balls ached, but fortunately, he was used to it, so he responded: "It doesn't matter, you just get used to it. My mentality is very stable now."
Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about this matter as much as a month ago, Pierce and April Clark were relieved. However, they actually felt that Zhang Hao's setback this time was not a bad thing, because what they saw was this time. After the setback, Zhang Hao did not collapse due to the blow, but instead became much more cheerful.
But the two of them would not say this, and they were really confused that no first-level university was willing to give Zhang Hao a full basketball scholarship.
On the other hand, Zhang Hao, due to examples like Jeremy Lin in the future, became more and more calm and began to plan various alternatives.
Teenagers don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like to be sad. Although everyone has been getting busier and busier recently and spending less and less time together, the three of them don¡¯t feel too much. They always feel that this life will never end.
We had a meal together. The next day, Zhang Hao got on the plane to San Francisco at 9 a.m., a little over an hour's flight + an hour's airport bus ride. At around 11 noon, Zhang Hao finally arrived. At the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium, there is a free lunch after the report, and Zhang Hao is definitely going to take advantage of it.
This arena was renovated on the basis of the home arena of the Warriors 30 years ago. It has hosted many large-scale events, and the Cardinals, the basketball team of Stanford University, often hold games here.
The Adidas training camp will be held here this time.
Whether winning the previous McDonald¡¯s Slam Dunk Contest has brought benefits to Zhang Hao, the benefits can be seen this time. Compared with the previous participation in the McDonald¡¯s Slam Dunk Contest, no one cared about it. This time, when Zhang Hao appeared at the San Francisco Auditorium Arena, he had just arrived. At the hotel, a reporter came to interview!
However, the reporter¡¯s questions were obviously not as friendly as those reporters invited by McDonald¡¯s before.
"Hello, Akers, I'm Emile Jackson, a reporter from Bleacher Report. Can I have a simple interview with you?"
The reporter in front of him looked like a human being, but he didn¡¯t feel much kindness to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded and responded: "Ouke."
"Akers, you are the first Chinese to participate in the McDonald's All-Star and Adidas training camps. Is it because you received excellent and advanced basketball coaching after arriving in the United States that you got such an opportunity?"
Indeed!
This condescending tone, this topic Zhang Hao was not angry. He thought quickly and replied: "The United States is the country with the highest level of basketball in the world. I am very grateful to our school's coach, Mr. Scott Collins, for inviting me to join. His Guidance is very important to me. I was spotted by Mr. Collins through a game. He thought that I was more talented than the American students he led. I was honored. I played well in a high school in the United States and was selected for California. First team and third team All-American.¡±
Zhang Hao¡¯s answer surprised this reporter who obviously had an unfriendly attitude. He was young, his answer was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he irritated, which was unexpected.
It¡¯s a normal situation for most young people.
It¡¯s rare to be able to counterattack effectively without getting angry.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States had to find an imaginary enemy in order to divert domestic conflicts. Regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, China was regarded as the number one candidate to threaten U.S. hegemony.
