On December 3, 1995, at 11:15 a.m., at the Great Western Forum, the Lakers held a press conference to officially announce the signing of Zhang Hao and Jason Williams.
The Logo Man was at the press conference dealing with tricky questions from the media, while Zhang Hao, waiting to appear, felt an unusual tension about the interview.
Earlier this morning, from 7:30 to 8:30, he had interviews with the Imperial Channel and Xinhuanet, which were relaxed. The domestic media were thrilled about him joining the Lakers, a team from a big city, and he received great treatment.
However, listening to the verbal sparring between the Logo Man and the reporters now, Zhang Hao knew that on his first day officially joining the Lakers, he would begin experiencing trials and tribulations.
Meanwhile, Jason Williams felt no pressure at all in this regard. In terms of public opinion, he was just the add-on in Zhang Hao's trade, the one matching the salary.
