On January 5, Beijing time, tomorrow the Lone Ranger will usher in a historic moment, and nowitzki's jersey retirement ceremony will be held. Chinese men's basketball legendary center Wang Zhizhi also sent blessings to his former teammates and exposed some interesting things about the two.
"We were drafted in 1999 and then we went in March 2001 and played in the CBA for a year. I went and played the last few games of the year, and then played in the 2001 playoffs, when I played against the Utah Jazz, and I won the Jazz and played the Spurs. After returning to China to play some games, he went again in November 2001 and played for an entire season, playing until 2002. DaZhi recalled.
Dazhi also picked up the 2001-02 season of the Lone Ranger game manual, "At that time, their running and bombing tactics were very in line with the feeling of the NBA 20 years later, at that time, his (old Nelson) position concept was also relatively vague, I hope that everyone (inside) can be inside and outside, I did not expect that after 20 years this has become a basketball trend, mainstream." ”
Recalling the time he played with Nowitzki, Dazhi said, "At that time, we were all international players, living in an apartment, basically not too far away, he was very diligent, because the NBA trained once a day, it was noon training, he also had a German master every night, teaching him every day, including the movements of the basket, the stability of the shooting, they were also very hard." Therefore, everyone's success is inseparable from hard work. ”
Speaking about Nowitzki, Dazhi also said that he praised, "He is really very good, and he is also very disciplined, including diet, and usually plays with all his strength." At that time, they preferred to play guitar, and we went to Utah to play away, and then he and his master took a guitar and got on the plane. I said let's go to Utah to play the playoffs, or go to Utah for a concert. The game is boring, and sometimes when you go to the away game, you can watch a movie together. There were no competitions, and we sometimes had a meal together and went to a Chinese restaurant in the United States. I remember what dick liked to eat orange chicken, and I said there was no such dish in China. "If Dazhi can appear at the scene of the Nowitzki jersey retirement, it will really be the memory of many people, unfortunately, because of the epidemic, this scene may not be realized."
