Chapter 90 Domestic Reporters

It is very simple to fall in love with a place.Just like now, An Luo fell in love with Pullman, and there was no high-sounding reason.

An Luo didn't hear any boos throughout the game.The audience here is the same as the city they are in, quiet but enthusiastic.

In the second half, An Luo and others played even less time, less than 8 minutes.The rest of the time was all played by the substitute players, even Alex didn't play.

In the end, UCLA beat Washington State University in an away game and won two consecutive victories in the new year.

In this game, An Luo played 16 minutes, made 21 of [-] shots from beyond the three-point line, [-] of [-] shots from the mid-range, and [-] free throws. He scored [-] points with super high efficiency.

But the MVP of this game is not him.

Alex played 26 minutes, made 19 of 5 two-pointers, 8 of [-] from beyond the three-point line, and [-] of [-] free throws, scoring [-] points.But he also sent [-] assists, plus [-] rebounds.Alex's versatility is undoubtedly more helpful to the team than An Luo's focus on scoring.Moreover, as a freshman, it is really amazing to be able to play such statistics in one game.

After the game, Alford took Alex to the press conference.An Luo and the others returned to the locker room together.

In fact, An Luo is looking forward to things like attending the press conference.Not only him, Holiday, Alex, Prince and even Tony, Isaac and others are also looking forward to it.Every young player who wants to enter the professional league wants to get as much exposure as possible.Letting people know yourself is the first step to entering a professional league.

In addition to the media, there is another group of people who are watching these young players openly and secretly, and that is the scouts.

In professional circles, scouts are definitely a large and very special team.Take the NBA as an example. Each team has 4-10 scouts. Few of them are well-known, but the work they do is very important and irreplaceable.

They evaluate players for the general manager and look for potential stocks; they check the transactions to prevent brainless transactions; they make suggestions for the coaching staff and discover the weaknesses of opponents.

As young players who have not yet entered the professional league, those scouts who specialize in evaluating players' abilities and potential are like Bole.

But these people are very busy.Their evaluation objects include not only NCAA players who will participate in the draft, but also a large number of international players and even some free agents or development league players who have signing intentions.When necessary, they will even investigate some stars to find out whether they are suitable for the team's existing tactical play, and estimate the development direction and degree of compatibility.

So for thousands of young players who dream of entering the professional league like An Luo, the eyes and mouths of these scouts are the most effective way to show themselves to those professional team uniforms.

An Luo and his party returned to the locker room, took a shower, and changed into regular clothes.The visiting team's locker room can't compare to the home team's. Even a host as friendly as Washington State University would not spend more money on the visiting team's locker room.

So each of them simply cleaned up, and after Alford came back, the group of them would return to the hotel, and then transfer to Seattle to go back to Los Angeles.

"An Luo?"

While he was busy packing his things, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear.He turned his head abruptly, and saw a young man with the same yellow skin, black hair and black eyes as himself, looking at him.

"Are you calling me?" An Luo was surprised, how could someone else come in here!

"I don't think there is another person named An Luo here, right? Haha..." The man laughed, then handed the card he had been holding in his hand to An Luo, and said, "I am a reporter from Basketball Weekly." , Lin Xi. This time I came here specifically to find you. Hmm...Look, can I do an exclusive interview if it’s convenient? I wanted to interview you when I was in Seattle, but unfortunately, after the game, you left too fast. So , I can only follow you to Pullman again."

It turned out to be a domestic reporter!
It's really hard to follow him so far, and I don't know where he came to Seattle.Fortunately, An Luo and the others came to Pullman, if they went directly back to Seattle, it would be enough trouble!

"Hello! Reporter Lin." An Luo greeted politely, put his business card in his pocket, and said to the other party: "I am very willing to cooperate with your interview. But wait for our head coach When Mr. Steve comes back, we will leave Pullman and have a connecting flight back to Los Angeles in Seattle. So sorry, if you have a question, you have to hurry. Because there may not be much time."

"No problem." Lin Xi nodded, then took out a recording pen from his trouser pocket, and turned on the switch.A simple interview begins.

"An Luo, we learned that in 2015, you led Shudu No. [-] Middle School all the way to the National League, and finally won the championship. You also won the final and league MVP. It can be said to be full of rewards. "Speaking of which, the young man paused, glanced at An Luo, and then continued to ask: "There must have been many CUBA teams contacting you at that time?"

"Well, actually, there were a lot of them by the time we won the provincial. As soon as the national league was over, my phone basically blew up!"

"Then what is it that made you decide to go to the United States?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer!However, An Luo reacted quickly, he thought for a while, and said:

"Actually, I came to the United States mainly because of my mother. She has been living in Los Angeles these years. We are separated by oceans, and we rarely have the opportunity to meet. I think she is too lonely by herself, so I came to accompany her .”

"It can be seen that An Luo, you are a very filial person." Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, and it didn't hurt to compliment others occasionally.

"So how did you become the core of the team after you arrived at UCLA? You have to know that before you, there has never been a guard who can play in the NCAA Division I."

"In fact, there is no core or non-core. In every game, all our players are doing what they should do on the court."

"We all know that in the last game against the University of Washington, you played very well and scored more than 30 points. But you only played for more than ten minutes in this game. Why?"

"Tactical needs! Alford will try more tactics to prepare for the next game."
