Wang Zhizhi Meets with NBA Players in Beijing
Wang Zhizhi, a Chinese basketball player with NBA's Dallas Mavericks team, on June 20 met with two NBA players--Antawn Jamison from the Golden State Warriors team and Alvin Williams from the Toronto Raptors team for the "NBA-CAB Friendship Matches" in Beijing.

Wang Zhizhi said by analogy that playing basketball in China is like driving car in a city while playing in NBA is like driving on an expressway, putting it to the test of speed, which Wang is good at. Two days ago, the visiting assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks team cited an interesting instance, saying that Wang is nicknamed "Dodge"--a US car, for his high speed. And Alvin Williams also praised Wang Zhizhi as a talented basketball player and expressed the hope that he could play with Wang next time.
