With the support of Liu Yudong, who was also part of the Nanjing Military Industry Team Men's Basketball, Wang Zhizhi felt greatly encouraged.
However, thinking about recent experiences, Wang Zhizhi shook his head with a bitter smile: "I reckon it's difficult for me to successfully leave, the Basketball Association doesn't want me to go, and the superiors haven't agreed either. I am a soldier, I must follow orders... Moreover, I worry that even if I go to the United States, the Basketball Association might go to the NCAA and say that I am a player in the Chinese Jia-A League. I've asked, if I successfully register in the Jia-A, then I won't be able to play in the NCAA."
