Regarding Zhang Hao's understanding of Gerald Grass's strength and other aspects, Butch Baird's decision basically announced the end of Gerald Grass' NBA career.

Butch Baird left the restaurant after the news was announced, and the restaurant was in an instant.

"Gerard's contract for the new season is 480,000, right? It's so miserable! I can't get a penny." Chiles felt sad.

"It's only a matter of time before Gerald was cut. He slept until two o'clock in the afternoon when he played against the Hornets, and he didn't get up when the warm-up was almost over before he arrived at the stadium."

"That's right, it's just too sudden. I thought he would be cut in the middle of the season. He could get a few thousand yuan in a game and make a game if he plays."

For Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, a salary of $480,000 per year is nothing, but it is different for Chiles.

However, he did not have any negative feelings for Butch Baird.

Zhang Hao listened silently to the conversation between the two and felt that Butch Baird was really amazing.

I took the most suitable person to perform the surgery!

"Do they have any regulations to notify Grass of curfew? Or are they ready to cut Grass before the start of the season to save their salary?" Zhang Hao did not say this.

However, in terms of discipline, Zhang Hao felt that this operation might play an immediate role.

Very direct, very simple, very rough.

There is no room for negotiation. Apart from the league's regulations, the team has few other regulations and is not strict.

It was just that it was not strict before, and many people violated the regulations.

Butch Baird just made a decision to strictly enforce the regulations.

The new regulations are just an introduction.

Zhang Hao looked at his teammates for a while, some of them were uneasy, but some players were excited about it.

The team has really changed!

"Awesome! You can't coach, you can do this!"

Zhang Hao was about to get some food to beat the shock. This shock was a surprise.

He thought the team would be like a pool of mud, and he could only struggle in it, just care about his own personal care, but now when he sees this, they seem to have a chance to try to win!

Over the past period of time, he felt that they had some hope. As for the cut off Grass... there will always be someone who will be cut off, just because he is not Zhang.

Just when Zhang Hao was excited, he saw the scene played on the TV in the restaurant. At first, he found it interesting, but in the end, a national curse echoed throughout the restaurant...

...

Yesterday, Michael Jordan accepted an exclusive interview with T.N.T and was asked about this year's rookie.

This is something that happens every year, and the league's top stars will evaluate the rookies.

We won’t wait until the regular season has been played for a while before this interview, or even after the preseason is over, but the rookies have just performed a little, so we will conduct this interview.

Reason... A superstar is good at playing basketball, but it does not mean that his vision must be good.

As for topics, they need to be created.

Jordan returned after retirement for more than a season, so he naturally needs to find him this season.

Jordan was cheated before. When he evaluated rookies, he honestly evaluated them from his senses and praised whoever he felt was good. Usually, there was a lottery rookie who was optimistic about, and then the rookie was in a mess.

Once upon a time, whenever Jordan wanted to participate in such an interview, the rookies who had just entered the NBA were extremely frightened, fearing that their names would pop up from Jordan's mouth.

Fortunately, Jordan later learned to be smart. He praised all the rookies in the entire lottery zone.

After that, fans are looking forward to the rookies' desperate "Side-Selected Side-Free" program, and their influence gradually dissipates.

After more than a year of retirement, Jordan, who has made a comeback, has become more calm in treating the media. He praises rookies more cultured, uses words and narratives more professionally, and has room for praise.

He praised every lottery pick. Even if he didn't play well in the first two preseason games, he expressed his expectations and did not want to be slapped in the face again.

Perhaps, because the Bulls are about to usher in the preseason against the Nets, Jordan praised the lottery picks and specifically mentioned Zhang Hao: "Aix's mid-range shot is so outstanding. He must be one of the best mid-range shots in the league. He has just graduated from high school. He is so amazing. I want to compete with him and see who has a better mid-range shot..."

...

...

After the start of the preseason, Zhang Hao made some appearances, but it has limitations and is limited to the category of "rookies".

If he is not a rookie, it wouldn't be surprising that he would have performed like that in the preseason.

But Jordan's words directly put Zhang Hao in the focus of the current discussion among fans!

After breakfast, Zhang Hao took the team bus and went to the Chicago United Center, which was only put into use in the second half of last season. The Bulls' new home court and teammates conducted team training with their teammates under the guidance of the coaching staff.

The training content is very simple and untargeted, but Zhang Hao clearly felt that there was a huge difference between training and the past.

The previous tactical training classes were different. The previous tactical training classes were all practicing more tactics. This time, we adjusted the tactics commonly used on the court in the previous few games.

Adjustments based on practical basis and changes in details.

Without careful observation, Zhang Hao thought it was a tactical review, but after careful observation, Zhang Hao found that there were really changes.

The overall change is not big, but his change is obvious.

His freedom has increased!

If he changes his person, he may feel that there is no change, and his running route map has almost not changed. If he doesn't understand the running position of a player without the ball, he may not be able to see it.

But he understood! He found that after the tactics he had learned had been modified, he could find more possibilities in it.

Zhang Hao's senses are directly the point where the coaching staff seemed to treat them as guinea pigs who were tactical experiments.

Now, it is really creating tactics for them!

A 40-minute tactical training class, Zhang Hao was still unsatisfied...

Put away the excitement first, he needs to prepare well. Zhang Hao really wants to play well in tonight's game.

The first time fighting Jordan!

This...is the God of Basketball!

After the Jordan interview video was broadcast, Kenny Anderson kept observing Zhang Hao and found that Zhang Hao's expression seemed calm, but he felt indescribable.

Very inappropriate!

Kenny Anderson patted Zhang Hao and said, "Aix, don't think about confronting that person, he... is not a human!"

He was targeted by Jordan when he was in the second grade. Not only Jordan, but his talent was targeted by many veteran superstars in the second and third grades.

Payton, Stockton and others were all very abominable in Kenny Anderson's mind, but there was one person who could not be described as hateful. That guy was a villain in Kenny Anderson's mind! The unbiased villain!

At that time, he felt that the guy wanted to destroy him every time he met him, but he had never messed with that guy, that was, for no reason.

Zhang Hao smiled and replied: "Thank you, boss, but I want to give it a try."

It's coming again! He's talking low-key, but he's never done anything he's doing!

Kenny Anderson was a little crazy.

Even if Jordan is about to turn 33 years old next season, many people are now speculating whether Jordan's performance will collapse next season. Many people question whether Jordan can continue to become the strongest player after his comeback this time. Some media even asserted that Jordan's comeback this time will become a stain on his career, but Kenny Anderson still thinks Jordan's strongest.

He had fought against Jordan himself, and he believed that those who had fought against Jordan himself would not have such foolish ideas.

But I admire it very much!

He didn't have the courage to come up with Zhang Hao's idea back then. He could see that Zhang Hao did not think about how Jordan was getting old. Zhang Hao did not use various arguments to explain anything, but just said that he wanted to give it a try.

Without the first time to agree or encourage, Kenny Anderson said: "Aix, you have to think clearly. Even if you don't respond to his words and just try it with actions in the game, he will become a demon. I don't think you have a chance to beat him."

"I see."

After spending time together, Kenny Anderson became more and more worried, and he talked more than before, and even had a tendency to talk. Then, he started again: "Since you want to do this, I have to help you well, otherwise how can I be the boss? I don't think we have much chance of winning tonight's game, but if we have a chance to win..."

"I will give up this fight if I have the chance to win, and I will talk about it next time."

"Yes, but we still have to discuss that the Bulls and Hornets are different, completely different!

You must be mentally prepared for this.

Don't think I'm exaggerating. If you don't plan it well, I guess it's hard to find your shooting opportunities... Chris, Jason, Almond, come on, let's discuss something..."

Kenny Anderson, who had been advising Zhang Hao not to be whimsical, turned around and became a dog-headed military advisor. He called the team's core members to discuss that he was much more active than Zhang Hao, the person involved.

The change did not start with Butch Baird's killing of the chicken to scare the monkeys. I don't know when it started, or perhaps it was from the initial training game in the training camp that changed the Nets.

The few people who were called together were very serious. If their seriousness reached the opponent's ears tonight, the opponent would at most smile. Just a preseason game, the Nets players were so grand.

Don't they know it's just a preseason game? Of course they know.

But at this moment, what they pursue is perhaps the simplest and purest thing to play basketball.

...

...

After the morning preparations ended, Zhang Hao was interviewed after lunch.

The interviews at the imperial court station were always so boring. Fortunately, Xu Jicheng, an old friend, was transferred and went to the imperial court station to serve as a reporter for Zhang Hao's away game in the preseason stage.

After ending this boring interview, Zhang Hao and Xu Jicheng came to the lounge to chat.

"Aix, there will be no live broadcast of the game tonight. I think you understand the reason, so don't have pressure when you play, play the Bulls... You try to play well, and if you don't play well, don't be frustrated..."
To be continued...
