This reporter from the bleachers was originally prepared to follow the current mainstream attitude of the American media towards everything in China, and just belittle it in any aspect. If Zhang Hao reacted violently, there would be more content to write.
But Zhang Hao¡¯s reaction was very calm. The reporter in the bleachers was very experienced in interviewing and knew that he could not anger Zhang Hao. Moreover, he did not know more about Zhang Hao, so the subsequent interview suddenly became very harmonious.
"Who is the player you most want to play against in this training camp?"
"Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Mike Bibby, and Richard Hamilton."
"Hamilton?"
"Yes, his style is very similar to mine, both are running catchers and shooters."
"You said you are a shooter? I think you should be an athletic forward. You are the dunk king among high school students."
"Actually, I don't really like dunking in games. Shooting is my strength. I just went to the dunk contest and won the championship because I was not in a good mood."
At this point, the reporter finally remembered another topic about the Chinese high school student in front of him - good grades and high player rankings, but no full scholarship from the university, so he asked: "The reason why you are in a bad mood is because Are you having trouble applying for college?"
"This is not important. I scored close to 1,400 on the SAT last year. It's very easy to go to college."
""
Co-author or a top student? The reporter ended the interview here. He failed to anger Zhang Hao. There wasn't much to hype about a training camp, but the reporter still found one thing that could be used.
Reporters are always afraid that the world will not be in chaos and they cannot attack Zhang Hao and China, so attacking American universities is equally interesting!

Zhang Hao ended the interview and came to the reporting place. He arrived relatively late. It was a coincidence that the Adidas staff had not gotten off work yet, otherwise they would have had to wait until the afternoon.
After successfully completing the reporting procedures, Zhang Hao received the room card and headed to the nearby Four Seasons Hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel lobby, Zhang Hao saw the road signs. The restaurant was booked by Adidas. High school students participating in the training camp could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free with their room cards. Lunch time was from 11:30 to 1:00. 30 points.
When he arrived on the 5th floor, his room number was No. 8.
By coincidence, Zhang Hao saw two high school students who were very familiar to him he knew each other very well, walking out of No. 7 on the 5th floor next door.
Kobe and Hamilton!
These two people share a room.
Take the initiative to get to know each other first! Zhang Hao greeted the two of them: "Hello, I am Zhang Hao, my English name is Aix, I am from China, I am a senior at Inglewood High School."
Kobe responded: "Hello, I am Kobe Bryant, a senior at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia. This is Richard Hamilton from Coldwell High School in Pennsylvania. My most difficult opponent. I know You, you defeated Vince Carter to become the high school slam dunk king. I must compete with you when I have the opportunity. I am excited about the thought of participating in training camp with you."
A little surprised! Zhang Hao originally thought that Kobe would be the noble and cool one, and Hamilton would be the one to answer the question, but the situation turned out to be the other way around. Hamilton shouldn't be called cold, but "scared of strangers"? Kobe, on the other hand, was not so cold, and his words and sentences were quite polite.
But Zhang Hao thought about it, Kobe had a prosperous family life since he was a child, and his personality was probably a competitive type, but his tutoring should be better than that of most black people.
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Things like the dunk contestactually I would rather compete with you in shooting. That is my strength."
"OhI'm looking forward to it."
After a brief chat, Zhang Hao put his things away, his luggage was already placed on another bed in the same room, and the three of them went to the restaurant to have lunch together.
Originally, Zhang Hao thought he would be excited to see those future superstars when he arrived at the training camp, but after the actual contact, he found that he was not so excited. Instead, he became full of curiosity about these future superstars who are still high school students.
There are more than 100 high school students, and Zhang Hao only knows a few of them.
Although Kobe was not so cold in private, he was obviously not an enthusiastic person either. He didn't chat much with Zhang Hao, apparently just because he won the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest to be polite.
After lunch, in the afternoon, Zhang Hao came to the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium to familiarize himself with the venue where training will be conducted for at least the next week.
Gym, training groundseats at the stadiumMost of it was dismantled and converted into a basketball court with 8 half courts.
The infirmary, physical therapy room, trainer's officeall are available.
There are also some coaches¡¯ offices. Adidas has invited some well-known personal coaches to coach Chris Irving, who is very famous in the player world, to coach endurance training Gian Kawhi, who earns millions of dollars a year
From these aspects, Zhang Hao can see the difference between this training camp and the McDonald's All-Stars. This is a training camp in the true sense, and it is a training camp that can really bring progress to the players who participate.
After the visit, Zhang Hao came to the training ground for shooting training.
Although the effect of the growth card has ended, training cannot be stopped just because there is no bonus. For things like technology, practice makes perfect, and if you don¡¯t make progress, you will fall back.
Compared with dunks, this hand shot is the foundation for his future in college or street games, because in terms of ball control, he is indeed very average, and he is definitely better than ordinary people. In high school, he also occasionally organized with the ball. Offensively, his passing awareness is still good, and his passing accuracy is also good, but if it were in a professional arena, he would never be the one in possession of the ball.
Zhang Hao thinks that all-round players are bullshit. What he has to do now is to establish himself in the basketball world, go to college, enter the NCAA first-level league, and then make further plans.
I practiced two sets of 100 mid-range shots. The first set made 91 shots and the second set made 94 shots.
Zhang Hao is quite satisfied with this accuracy. He reckons that in this Adidas training camp, no one can shoot a better mid-range shot than him! This is the top mid-range shooter at the NBA level! Not to mention high school students, Zhang Hao is confident that few people in college can match his CIC. Although this is his only strength, CIC has become the source of his confidence.
After two sets of shooting training, I originally wanted to practice for a while, but there were too many people coming and going and it was easy to get distracted, so Zhang Hao simply walked around.
The more people there are, the more clearly Zhang Hao feels that there are huge differences between people. Not every player who seemed extremely talented in high school will be able to play in college, because it is easiest to be dominant in high school. His talent is his athletic ability. His athletic ability is relatively mediocre, and he may not have looked that good in high school.
But in fact, when it comes to college, most of the players who play well are not the ones with the best athletic talent, but the players who can endure and improve their skills.
? And most of the top players with the highest athletic ability in high school are stuck in relying on their own athletic ability.
Just like during the McDonald's All-Star Game, Zhang Hao didn't see many people who were willing to train after coming to the arena. He could more or less see something - this training camp brought together most of the top high school students in the United States. Most of the more than 100 people in the NBA have no chance to enter the NBA.
What Zhang Hao didn't know was that there was someone who originally wanted to occupy one half of the court to practice all afternoon, and didn't care about the people coming and going. However, after watching his two sets of mid-range shooting training out of curiosity, this person felt that he had been hit hard. , squatting in the corner and having self-doubt - why is a dunker shooting so accurate? Is this really a high school student?
After waiting for a long time, the 16-year-old high school student, who did not want to be named, cheered up and started practicing mid-range shooting like crazy when his roommate arrived. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
