Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 42 Why are they still quarreling?

Mark Foyo was no fool. Before meeting the reporter, he spent half an hour preparing.

Then he walked out of the door, and when he opened the door and turned a corner, he saw a dozen or so local media reporters crowded at the entrance of the stairs, and his team members were preventing them from coming up.

Some reporters have seen Mark Foyo sharp-eyed and shouted, "Mr Foyo, I'm a reporter for the Florida Sports News, and I want to ask you a question."

The flash clicked.

Mark Foyou put on a kind face, elegantly stretched out his hands and pressed down, motioning reporters to calm down, and reprimanded the team members who blocked the road: ""Who told you to stop here, I didn't say it? Do you let reporter friends in? "

The players looked at each other.

The reporters also know that this is Mark Foyo's sly gesture, but at least they have enough respect for them.

Mark Foyo walked to the reporter's flashlight with a shallow smile on his face and said to the reporter in front of him: "Don't worry, I borrowed a conference room from the hotel, I know what you want to know, and I have many things as The head coach also wants you to know that the questions you are asking me now will give you a satisfactory answer when I arrive in the conference room."

The reporters were all relieved. Today's hard work was not in vain, and they could finally wait for some news.

Ten minutes later, all the reporters present were invited to the meeting room.

The reporter walked into the conference room, only to find that Lu Yu, the party involved in the fight yesterday, was sitting in the conference room, and beside Lu Yu sat a yellow-skinned middle-aged man.

All cameras and flashes were aimed at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu stood up and said to the reporters with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm a Chinese player of the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Lu Yu, and next to me is the head coach of the Chinese National Youth Basketball Team, Wang Fei. coach."

Sensitive reporters immediately smelled unusual through Lu Yu's introduction.

It seems that this is not so simple.

At this time, Mark Foyou walked to Lu Yu's side, picked up the microphone to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Today I'm bothering all the media friends to come over, mainly because Lu Yu, a player from our school's Gonzaga Bulldogs, and the Florida Gators are playing together. During the game, I explained the dispute with the Gators player Nelson, and clarified some things to everyone, now we all watch the video of the stadium at that time."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the button in his hand, and the projector behind him played a short video of the game that day. The short video was edited, and the footage focused on Nelson's elbows on Lu Yu and Nelson's lip-synching of Lu Yu.

The final video freezes at the moment Nelson rushes towards Lu Yu.

"Mr. Foew, I'm Florida..."

The reporter in the audience was about to ask a question, but was interrupted directly by Mark Foyou, "I'm sorry, Madam reporter, today is not a press conference, we want to clarify one thing to you, no need to answer your questions, we clarify After that, you can choose whether or not to publish news and how to publish news, we will not interfere with these, and of course, we will also record the whole meeting and save it."

His remarks clearly told reporters not to ask questions, and warned reporters not to make up.

Then Mark Foyou looked at Lu Yu: "Lu, tell me about the situation on the field at that time."

Lu Yu stood up to take the microphone, and said modestly, "I think everyone has seen it. From the beginning of the game, Nelson used unconventional moves on me. I don't think he can argue with this, but I won't bother about it. Don't let it go, after all, on the basketball court, some movements are normal, and Mr. Tomjanovich once tasted the taste of his own brain."

The reporters in the audience all laughed. They didn't expect Lu Yu to be able to joke humorously at this time, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of this young player.

The reporters also know that what Lu Yu said is the truth. In fact, they have all seen the video of the game that day. If you look at the problem without tinted glasses such as skin color, Lu Yu, as a player, can keep calm for such a long time, absolutely. is a commendable thing.

"Of course, it was a tough process, but we still won the game by a big margin, I hit the last [-] of the game, and at this point, Nelson did something irrational, he rushed up to beat me. "Lu Yu paused when he said this, glanced at the reporters under the stage, and there was a hint of remorse in his eyes: "I made a mistake at this time, I shouldn't fight back, I should have turned my face and ran away, but I was angered by him for the whole game. , he wants to do something to me, I can't calm myself down, especially after he insulted my skin color and my motherland..."

Mark Foyou immediately stood up and interrupted Lu Yu, "I don't care what he insults you, now I'll ask you, do you know if you should hit someone?"

Mark Foyo's tone was serious.

All the reporters were stunned. Is Mark Foyo's reaction wrong?

If things are really as Lu Yu said, then Nelson is suspected of framing Lu Yu.

Not only is it as simple as reversing black and white, but Nelson also scolded the other party's country. It's not easy to end the trouble. No wonder Mark Foyou stopped Lu Yu in time.

When they looked at the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball National Youth Team sitting beside them, they suddenly realized something in their hearts.

This is also what Lu Yu discussed with Mark Foyou before, and the matter can be disclosed to reporters, but he must stop talking and leave a certain space for reporters to imagine.

"Speak, do you know?" Mark Foyo continued.

Lu Yu remained silent.

"I think Lu Yu did the right thing."

Wang Fei stood up at the right time: "As a Chinese, no matter when and where, we must maintain the image of the Chinese people. Anyone who insults our country will fight to the end. As the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball National Youth Team, We have solemnly informed the NCAA league that the Chinese National Youth Team refused to participate in this friendly match against the Florida Gators!"

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar. If this incident spread to the other side of the ocean, it would have a big impact.

Thirty years ago, table tennis could cause diplomatic incidents, not to mention that this time it involved racial discrimination and insulting the other country. The stupid Nelson even slandered Lu Yu for racial discrimination against him. Don't just slander, you should show evidence!

Nelson has no evidence, but Lu Yu has solid evidence here.

Whether or not the reporters present to report on such news really has to be weighed in their hearts.

Mark Foyou slapped the table hard and shouted at Wang Fei: "Lu Yu is my player and also an NCAA player. I have to decide how to deal with this matter, it's not your turn to take care of it. , Lu Yu must make a profound review of this matter."

Wang Fei also glared at him: "Before Lu Yu became your NCAA player, he was first of all a Chinese. He did nothing wrong, so why should he criticize him?"

Two people, you slap the table and I stare, and no one will let anyone else.

The reporters in the audience were stunned. It was a good clarification meeting for reporters. Everything was made clear, and the reporters had no idea of ​​reporting.

But why are they still arguing?
Only Lu Yu knew that the quarrel between Mark Foyou and Wang Fei was not only for reporters, but also for the senior management of the NCAA league.

Not surprisingly, the video of today's meeting will soon appear on the desks of the top officials of the league.

The reporters must not dare to make random arrangements.

If they still dare to report this situation, they are brothers of Shiranui Wu who do not know what to do.
