basketball dreams

Chapter 25 After the game
"Hey." Yun Chen, who got the idol's signature sneakers, smiled from ear to ear. This can be regarded as the realization of one of his little dreams.

But now is not the time for him to be happy. Although he won this time, the team has exposed too many problems, and they urgently need to change.

After all, today is the home court, and they are playing against the Eagles, which can be said to be the bottom of the league. Even so, they almost lost the game. This is not the performance that a team with all-stars should have.

After returning from Jeremy Lin's place, Yun Chen wanted to go straight back to the locker room, but the assistant coach told him that the media wanted to interview him.

"Ah? Shouldn't the post-match interview be with the team leader?" Yun Chen looked a little weird, and then looked around to find Love.

But he seems to have returned to the locker room, almost leaving with his teammates.

"After all, you are a player representing the yellow race, so the attention must be different." The assistant smiled and patted him.

"All right……"

Feeling anxious, Yun Chen was brought in front of that reporter.

Unexpectedly, the reporter turned out to be a man of yellow race. Although he didn't know if he was Chinese, but when he saw yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, Yun Chen immediately had a good impression of this man.

What's more, this reporter is a woman.

And looks... very beautiful!
She has big eyes, a standard oriental oval face, creamy skin, and a high nose bridge. Even if someone tells Yun Chen that she is a star, he will believe it without hesitation!
"You, you, you... hello!" Yun Chen was a little nervous because of the first solo interview, but now he was even more nervous when he saw her, and he couldn't speak well.

The reporter seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, and a smile appeared on Yun Chen's face when he saw Yun Chen approaching.

This smile didn't matter, Yun Chen's heartbeat that had just slowed down accelerated again.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Tencent Sports, and my name is Lu Qingyan!" She was very generous and extended her hand to Yun Chen.

"Uh... Teng, Tencent Sports?" Yun Chen blinked. He knew that Tencent had won the broadcasting rights of the NBA in the past two years, but it was the first time he saw the first game of the regular season and sent a reporter to the scene to interview. operation.

"That's right, because the five of you represent the golden generation of Chinese basketball, our headquarters decided to follow up and interview you throughout your rookie season. I am the reporter who is in charge of you." Lu Qingyan laughed.

Her voice was very nice, even though the scene was quite noisy, Yun Chen could still hear it clearly.

"Then let's start interviewing you now. The official news before the game is that you will start the game, but Osman will start the game later. Can I understand the situation with you?" After introducing herself, Lu Qingyan directly started the work mode , asked very rigorously.

But one second, five seconds, ten seconds...

A full dozen seconds passed, and after Lu Qingyan finished asking her question, she brought the microphone in front of Yun Chen.

But Yunchen...

He was in a daze.

He just kept staring at Lu Qingyan's face, as if he had stopped breathing, and watched without moving.

Lu Qingyan was originally a very generous person, but at this moment she was also a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, and her face turned red immediately.

"Li...Mr. Li?"

Yun Chen still didn't respond.

"Mr. Li!"

"Uh...ah? What did you say?" Lu Qingyan turned up her volume, and Yun Chen was woken up by her, but she didn't remember what she said at all.

"You... what did you ask just now?" Yun Chen realized that he had lost his composure at this moment, rubbed the back of his head and quickly shifted his gaze to other places.

"Mr. Li, it seems that you have lost your strength just after the competition, so why don't you stop today's interview, I... we will talk next time." Seeing this, Lu Qingyan hurriedly made a siege, but she was always grateful Fortunately, it was not a live broadcast this time, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the people of the whole country to see this scene.

Yun Chen nodded immediately when he heard this. Now his mind is full of Lu Qingyan's beauty in a prosperous age, and he doesn't remember what she asked at all.

"Then...bye...bye!" Lu Qingyan, who agreed, seemed to be relieved, and immediately called the cameraman to leave.

But Yun Chen called out to her at this moment: "Hey, that...well, why don't you leave a phone call, and I'll make up the interview for you when I get back?"

"what?"

"puff……"

Yun Chen seemed to hear the voice of the cameraman next to him who couldn't help laughing.

……

But in the end, Yunchen still got a call from Lu Qingyan.

"Hmph..." On the way back to the dressing room, the corners of Yun Chen's mouth did not come down, he kept laughing, and even hummed a song.

"I said Li, why are you so happy after the interview? Is there anything good about it?" Tom Jackson, the team's physical trainer, asked next to him. Yunchen and Yunchen are familiar with each other because they often do high-intensity training.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chen turned to look at him, hooking Jackson's shoulder all the way: "Hey, I won't tell you!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away like flying, and went straight to the locker room.

"Baffling." Jackson's mouth twitched.

Yun Chen hurried back to the locker room, because today he is not the only one who has a game, and Zheng Ye will also play.

The Bucks are also playing at home today against the Charlotte Hornets. Before the game, it was reported that Zheng Ye will come on as the first substitute center.

Back in the locker room, Yunchen immediately took out his mobile phone from the closet.

Their game started at 8 o'clock, counting the time, it should be over by now.

But as soon as he opened the page, Yunchen was stunned. The Hornets defeated the Bucks 98-93 by five points.

"Huh?" Yun Chen was surprised. The Bucks' lineup is much stronger than that of the Hornets. Antetokounmpo is a strong contender for MVP.

Opening the data sheet, Yun Chen carefully read it.

"This……"

He couldn't believe his eyes. Antetokounmpo actually made only 22 of 6 shots today, a very low shooting percentage. He only scored 15 points in the game. In addition, he had 7 rebounds and 3 assists, which was not at all what it should be.

"What's going on? It shouldn't be, is there anyone in the Hornets who can limit Antetokounmpo?"

But then he found the problem. Today, Middleton and Bledsoe didn't feel good. The former only made 6 of 1 three-pointers, and the latter made 3 of 0 shots.

You know, in the Bucks' lineup, only Middleton can really cause damage outside the three-point line. After Jabari Parker went to the Bulls, he became the most reliable helper for Antetokounmpo. , The Bucks have no outside deterrence, so Antetokounmpo will definitely be double-teamed.

"This should be the problem. There is no one inside to attack, and the outside line is inaccurate. Antetokounmpo is double-teamed by two or even three people..."

The data table continued to pull down, and Yunchen finally saw Zheng Ye's data, 6 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

A statistic that fits Zheng Ye's style very well.

But his shortcomings on the offensive end are also reflected, and he can't help Antetokounmpo share his worries.If the Bucks want to go further, they must find a way to introduce a reliable offensive star.

Or, let Zheng Ye cultivate his offensive ability.

Sighing, Yun Chen picked up his clothes and went to take a shower. His teammates were almost ready.

……

In the Cavaliers owner's office, sitting in front of Gilbert at this time is Kobe Altman.

He is the general manager of the Cavaliers and a person Gilbert trusts very much.

"You mean, the head coach must be changed?" Gilbert stared at the man in front of him, frowning tightly.

"Yes, it must be changed." Altman nodded with a firm tone.

"You know Altman, Tyronn Lue's contract hasn't expired yet. If I want to change it at this time... I will pay a lot of money!" Gilbert shook his head and pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, and kept shaking his head.

Tyronn Lue's contract will last until 2021. If he is fired now and replaced by a head coach, the Cavaliers will have to offer another coaching contract while continuing to pay Tyronn Lue's salary.

And Tyronn Lue's contract...is not a small amount.

"Boss, the job description of my job is to help the team win, but now Tyronn Lue's performance...has become our hindrance, do you understand?" Altman continued.

"Reason, I need a reason. Last season or even last season, you didn't choose to give up on him even if you lost two consecutive years in the finals. Why do you have to ask me to cut him now?"

"Because...we have Li Yunchen, I can tell you responsibly, he can bring us not only the economy of Chinese fans, but even a better record and more honors in the playoffs, and Now, Tyronn Lue has become a stumbling block hindering his growth!" Altman stood up at this moment, propped his hands on the desk and stared at Gilbert with his eyes fixed.
