The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 8 Storm, Interview, No. 17

The 2006 NBA Draft has come to an end.

The management of each team is happy and sad, and the selected players are also full of expectations for their future.

Those who can be selected in the small green room in the lottery area are even more energetic at this moment, and can't wait to announce their arrival to the alliance.

Especially this year's No. [-] pick, Andrea Bargnani.

In the interview area, he seemed like a bright moon surrounded by stars, accepting the interview with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Andrea, this is a reporter from ESPN. What do you think about being the No. [-] pick in the end, and also the first No. [-] pick from Europe?"

"I am very grateful for the trust of the Raptors and the support of the Toronto fans. I will do my best to dedicate my talents and skills to this city."

Very appropriate and official answer.

"In an interview earlier, we interviewed China's popular rookie Zhang Bolong. He said that he would be the best rookie of the year. I don't know how you evaluate it?"

"Zhang Bolong?" Bargnani frowned, and then said: "I don't know him, but I will defend the honor of the No. [-] pick."

At this moment, another big man suddenly walked into the interview area.

"Hey, hello Andrew, as last year's No. [-] pick, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing this big man coming to the media, the reporters raised their microphones one after another.

"Well, I just passed by, and then I heard that ridiculous sentence." The big man shook his head disdainfully, with a look of injustice, "If I were him, I would keep my humility, unless he wants to lie in bed like Yao On the hospital bed, we all know that the physical fitness of the yellow race has never been suitable for basketball."

After saying this, the reporters at the scene were like sharks smelling blood, and they started to record something.

And this tall man, Andrew Bogut, stepped forward and patted Bargnani, and said to the reporter: "I am the first champion in Australia, and Andrea is the first champion in Europe. I hope he can compete with me. Together, on behalf of us foreign inside big men, hold up a sky in the NBA."

……

Although the draft is over, what Bogut said at the end of the conference is fermenting.

On foreign networks and media, except for netizens in certain cities where Huaxia players have played for, they condemned this, but other regions did not have too much strong reaction.

But in China, with these words, Bogut suddenly became one of the most hated players in the country.

"Arrogance", "Arrogance", "Irreverent", "Brutal"...

The major media, players and coaches have expressed their opinions on TV, magazines, newspapers and the Internet.

As the instigator of this contradiction, Bogut added fuel to the fire when he was interviewed by the Australian media.

"I'm just telling the truth. Yao has just been lying down for half a season, Wang is not healthy, and this rookie has suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury. Doesn't this prove something? The Chinese people are too inferior, and they are ignorant to accept the truth. They just There are just too many people."

As soon as this remark came out, the contradiction intensified.

Some fans even wrote a "death report" for him.

In the end, Lan Dongliang responded in person.

"Yellow people are not suitable for playing basketball? Then maybe my nine rings are fake." In an interview, he said lightly.

"Injury is something that all players and teams don't want to face. To attack others with this, I think the league needs to step in."

……

At this time, the other protagonist who caused this turmoil is now basking in the sunshine of the City of Angels.

Today is the media interview day of the Lakers, hosted by general manager Kupchak, the main purpose is to introduce the rookies they selected this year.

In this year's draft, the Lakers selected a total of two rookies. The first is Zhang Bolong with the 26th overall pick, and the second is Cheek Sambu with the 21st overall pick in the second round.

However, this gentleman is still playing in Senegal and has not come to Los Angeles to report.

Therefore, this media interview day can be regarded as a media meeting specially held for Zhang Bolong.

And Zhang Bolong's first appearance did not disappoint those looking forward to it.

For today's attendance, Zhang Bolong specially designed a new set of airplane hairstyle, with sideburns shaved off, and a lightning bolt carved out with a razor.

At the same time, he pulled his hair up again, revealing those beautiful eyebrows, looking very handsome and energetic.

This hairstyle was not uncommon in previous lives, but in 2006, it is definitely a trend-setting model.

It is conceivable that Zhang Bolong's outfit this time will surely arouse the pursuit and imitation of a large number of teenagers, and the popularity that has been quieted down due to the injury will soon boil again.

Some people are born to be the focus,
Others...have to be born again.

As soon as Zhang Bolong appeared, he attracted the attention of the audience.

"The reason for choosing No. 17 may be that 1 and 7 are connected up and down like a bolt of lightning. I used to be able to break through, jump and dunk like lightning, but now, I can also use my three-point arrow to attract hell." lightning."

"Bogut? People of yellow race are not suitable for playing basketball? I don't know if he can't distinguish colors or he doesn't know basketball. He uses other people's injuries to chew his tongue. I hope his skills are not as bad as his character."

"It's useless to say more, annoying Faker, if Mr. Bogut likes to score goals with his mouth, then I'm sorry, I like to talk with goals."

"It is an honor to be selected by the Lakers. I have been a fan of the Zijin Army since I was a child."

There was some applause at the scene, and the media from the motherland seemed to be cheering up Zhang Bolong's answer.

On the contrary, the expressions of some old beauties are very surprised, which is completely different from the Chinese people they imagined.

"Hello Xiaolong, I am Yang Yi, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Basketball Pioneer News". I am very happy to come to this beautiful city of angels to interview you. Is there anything I want to say to fans and friends who follow you in the motherland? ?"

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Zhang Bolong was still very happy: "Thank you for your support. I will definitely play well and win glory for the country."

When speaking to his own people, his snarky and snarky energy will be restrained a lot.

"Since you were injured, it seems that you have appeared very, very rarely in public. Everyone has a lot of speculation, and they are also worried that this injury will have some bad effects on you. Then Long Shuai can briefly share with us about you. What is your mental journey?”

"It's not that complicated, people expect a lot from me, so I want to be able to shoulder that responsibility when I show up."

As he said that, Zhang Bolong seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "I also often surf the Internet, use the trumpet to chat with netizens, or to praise myself, I hope that friends who hate me in China will not be ignorant of flattery, you are likely to face It’s the Lord, please say a few more kind words, thank you.”
