　　A basketball star who plays for the PLA has been picked for a team in Northern America’s National Basketball Association and made his first visit to Dallas on April, 2001.

　　Wang Zhizhi, who just turned 22, averaged 13.5 points at the 2000 Olympics, eighth-best in Sidney scoring. He became the first Asian player to be drafted into the NBA. When he was picked by the Dallas Mavericks (小牛队). Wang is 2.12 metres tall and weighs 115kg. He is known as “Big Zhi.”He was chosen as the 36th pick in annual draft of NBA.

　　Mavericks special assistants Morlon Wiley and Greg Dreiling, both big men, have worked with Wang and assistant coach Donnie Nelson in practice scrimmages (争抢) designed to simulate (模拟) conditions Wang will face in games.

　　Wiley said, “Fundamentally, his jump shot is perfect for a big guy. Really we have nothing to lose. He is a diamond in the rough.”

　　“He looks great,” Donnie Nelson said. But this is a long term process. I’ve got to stay here with him because he needs that connection right now.
