NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 63 [Interview from Huaxia] Please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket~~
"Brother, congratulations, you performed very well, I really can't believe it, this is your first game."

Although he lost the first regular season game, Nash took the initiative to come over to congratulate Lu Yusheng, and he was full of praise for Lu Yusheng's performance.

In the previous life, Nash was also a star that Lu Yusheng loved very much.

Lu Yusheng felt admiration from the bottom of his heart for seeing his idol, after losing a game, let go of his frustration immediately and come to congratulate a junior. This kind of sportsman's demeanor.

Moreover, Lu Yusheng was even more excited to receive such affirmation from him.

Lu Yusheng also said humbly, "Steve, you have won the award. You are the best point guard in this era. I have been learning from you, especially in this game. I have learned a lot from you. Also, I'm eager to get some pointers from you."

Nash smiled, "You are as humble as Yao Ming. This is really a beautiful quality of you Chinese people. Congratulations to your brother. I don't think I need to give you any advice based on your performance today. Of course, if you If you can improve your shooting, it will be even more perfect, I guess it will not be long before you will become one of the top point guards in this league, come on!"

After Nash hugged Lu Yusheng again, he turned and left.

Looking at his back, Lu Yusheng felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

As expected of Steve Nash, he just said that Lu Yusheng and Yao Ming are humble, but he himself is not a humble gentleman.

Even when pointing out Lu Yusheng's shortcomings, he was so reserved.

Shooting is indeed a big shortcoming of Lu Yusheng at present. In fact, during the summer league, his shooting was not bad.

But when he came to the official NBA game today, when faced with better defensive strength and greater physical exertion, he found that his shooting was completely unstable.

Although he hasn't looked at the technical statistics yet, in this game, he did miss several open shots.

And Lu Yusheng knew that for Nash, these open shots must be made.

There is indeed a big gap between him and a top point guard like Nash.

I don't know if the system will give him some star signs about shooting. Of course, even if the system doesn't give it, Lu Yusheng knows that this point can be steadily improved through hard practice.

In the commentary booth, after the Lakers won, the commentator Vince Cain looked very excited, "Thomas, guess what Nash said to the rookie of the Lakers just now?"

Isiah Thomas said, "I guess, I must have said some words of encouragement. NBA point guards have such a tradition. Send encouragement, this is the inheritance culture of NBA culture, and it is also the embodiment of sportsmanship, I am proud of Nash."

At this moment, Vince Cain had already despised Isiah Thomas to the extreme in his heart. At this time, he still didn't mention Lu Yusheng's performance in this game, and avoided talking about Nash's sportsmanship. It was somewhat shameless.

What else to say, this is the cultural heritage of NBA point guards?
Come on bro, do you deserve the word sportsmanship?
Who doesn't know what happened to you back then?

Jordan was high-spirited back then, but fell to the Pistons, a bad boy team led by Isiah Thomas, in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and returned with hatred!

But Jordan was not discouraged. He practiced silently during the offseason after each failure, and finally led the Bulls to defeat the Pistons led by Isiah Thomas in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals.

What shocked the media and fans was that Isiah Thomas took the lead and led his teammates to leave the field early, and did not send congratulations to the Bulls and Jordan!

In stark contrast, in the two years that the Bulls lost to the Pistons, despite Jordan's competitiveness, he accepted the defeat and sent his blessings to Isiah Thomas and the Pistons.

Thinking of this, Vince Kane said deliberately, "Thomas, you just said that the tradition of NBA point guards is that when they meet a potential rookie, they will send encouragement to the opponent. In this way, you also admit that the No. 6 rookie of the Lakers has potential." huh?"

Isiah Thomas noticed that he had fallen into Vince Cain's trap, but at this time, he also had to admit Lu Yusheng's performance. After all, the audience in front of the TV is not a fool, and then twisted for his own prejudice Well, it's kind of annoying.

"Of course, of course, Kane, until now, the game is over, I really have to admit that the No. 6 rookie of the Lakers really played well in this game, the reason why the Lakers can catch up with the score and win this game , He contributed a lot, I did underestimate him a bit at first, but his performance made me have to shut up."

After he finished his self-deprecating laugh, Vince Kane also laughed, "It's really not easy for the proud Thomas to say such a thing, Thomas, then as a senior, can you give Lu some advice, or what do you think? How high can he reach?"

Isiah Thomas was a little annoyed by Vince Cain. He had always looked down on the rookie of the Lakers before, but Lu Yusheng used his performance to slap him in the face again and again, which made his situation very difficult. Embarrassing, now this Vince Kane is forcing himself to face this again and again.

"Kane, I have to say, this is just his first game. Although he played really well, it's just the beginning, and it doesn't mean anything. Of course, I hope he can have a good career, but road It's really long, I hope he will work hard, well, that's it."

After speaking, he hastily bid farewell to the audience, and as soon as the live broadcast ended, he left without saying a word.

……

Lu Yusheng was about to leave with his teammates, but who knew, suddenly five or six media outlets surrounded him directly, expressing their wish to accept their exclusive interviews.

This is the treatment that only the league's phenomenal stars deserve!

But Lu Yusheng's performance in this game is indeed worthy of this treatment. Besides, since he was selected by the Lakers in the draft, he has become the focus of the media.

Among these several media, Lu Yusheng saw the familiar logo from Huaxia at a glance.

Without any hesitation, he accepted an exclusive interview with the media from the motherland.

The hostess is named Meng Xia, she is very beautiful, has a delicate figure, and has the unique temperament of Chinese women, polite and dignified.

Meng Xia first congratulated Lu Yusheng, congratulating him on successfully winning his first NBA game and achieving a good performance.

Then Meng Xia asked some professional questions about the competition, and Lu Yusheng answered them all.

Then, Meng Xia asked, "As a Chinese star, you can have such a wonderful performance in the NBA. All Chinese fans are also proud of you. We learned that you came to the United States when you were very young. Can you tell me, what kind of feelings do you have for Huaxia? Also, do you have anything to say to Huaxia fans?"

Lu Yusheng thought for a while and said, "It's like this. When I was very young, I followed my mother here because of some family reasons, but I have always loved and been fascinated by everything in China. It has always been my hometown. I hope that Huaxia can develop better and better, and I also hope that the people there will be happier and happier. I can’t believe that I already have fans. After all, I am just a rookie. Of course, if there are fans who like me, of course I thank them for their support. , I ask them to believe in their vision and continue to support me, I will definitely not let them down."

Meng Xia looked at Lu Yusheng with a little more appreciation. This rookie in front of him really made people feel good about him. With his handsome face and humble attitude, he was not lacking in confidence. It was hard not to make people feel good about him.

"One last question," Meng Xia whispered to Lu Yusheng after finishing the interview, "Can you leave a contact information?"
