After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight
Chapter 14 Media Interviews
Chapter 14 Media Interviews
After the game, Li Chengming also received the attention of a large number of domestic media. Because there were no rising stars on both sides of the game, there were not many media from the US side. Instead, domestic reporters flocked.
"Hi, I'm a reporter from Jiulang Sports!"
"Hi, I'm from Penguin..."
"I'm a reporter from the Basketball Pioneer, and my name is..."
Li Chengming saw a lot of microphones being passed in front of him, and looked at the kinder faces one by one, and he was in a good mood.
However, he remembered his father's previous exhortations, and he would not really treat them as relatives, and he also maintained a cautious attitude towards their questions.
When Li's father noticed the reporter coming, he also squeezed directly beside Li Chengming, but it was not good to intervene and speak for him directly at this time, but was ready to smooth things over for him at any time.
After all, Li Chengming will face such a situation sooner or later, and it is impossible for him to take the lead all the time, so he needs to train his ability to deal with reporters from now on.
NBA teams will teach them how to deal with media interviews, but that is for the media in the United States, and the media in China is still different.
"Can you accept our interview, I have a lot of questions and I want to know more about you. Now many fans in China are paying attention to your performance..."
This statement seems a bit false. Although Li Chengming’s mysterious identity has aroused the curiosity of many domestic fans, domestic fans always question the journey of Chinese players including Dayao in the NBA. manner.
Father Li knows this, and Li Chengming also knows it vaguely, but of course he won't expose it directly, he just smiled and said, "I hope I won't let everyone down..."
Immediately a reporter shouted excitedly: "I am not disappointed, you played really well today, this is the first time a player from our country has such an outstanding performance in the summer league, you should join the national team!"
For a while, people couldn't tell whether he was really showing his emotions or acting it out. Li Chengming listened to it quite well at first, but he couldn't help it when he heard the last sentence.
Just as he was about to say something, Father Li hurriedly pulled him behind his back to make him react.
The national team is a sensitive issue, so it's better not to pick it up.
Although under the leadership of Dayao, the men's basketball team has achieved good results in recent years, at least it is not difficult to dominate Asia, but the expectations of Chinese people are always too high and the pressure is too great.
So Li's father, from the heart, is actually not willing for his son to get involved in the affairs of the national team.
Of course, it’s fine if you really want to go in, let’s talk about things in the NBA first.
The latter question finally seemed much more normal. After all, this was Li Chengming's first time facing the media, and also his first public appearance. Before the draft, he didn't even leak a picture.
Now everyone knows what he looks like, and also knows that this time he came to the draft with his father to pursue his dream, who knows that he really succeeded, it can be said that his dream has come true.
Regarding the family, this is answered by Li's father: "Our family is very ordinary, but as parents, we try our best to create a good environment for our children to grow up. The only trouble is probably that he is too fat..."
This made everyone laugh. In fact, it is not so obvious on the court. After all, the people around him are all big men of two hundred catties. I just feel that he is still a circle wider than others, but after all It's not that high, and the deterrence is not that great.
As a result, the reporters off the court are now facing Li Chengming in a circle. The good guy looks like he came to surround a group of them by himself.
The most important thing is that he is much taller than them. The tallest among the reporters is only 1.8 meters.
This feeling was only experienced when facing Dayao before, but Dayao was taller, while Li Chengming was too "wide", one vertical and one horizontal, with different power and equal pressure.
A reporter asked curiously: "It's not malicious, it's just that Li Chengming is like this, will it cause any load on his body?"
It is really these NBA reporters who are stationed in the United States who are frightened by Dayao's situation!
Since his rookie season, the little giant has been suffering from constant injuries. Last season, he missed 32 games due to a fractured tibia. Although many of his injuries were on the field and had confrontational factors, many people think that This has something to do with his years of playing games and gaining weight.
In his rookie season, Dayao was thin and unable to fight against O'Neal at all. Then he gradually gained weight to improve his confrontation. This did make him stronger, but it also increased the risk of injury.
Li Chengming hasn't played a regular season yet, so it's hard to say whether he will definitely get injured on the court, but with his size and weight, people can't help worrying about him.
After all, obesity itself is a precursor to various diseases, not to mention that Li Chengming is so fat, it will be a big burden on him.
Father Li looked at Li Chengming, Li Chengming thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, sister, for caring about me. My family has always paid attention to this aspect. There shouldn't be any problems for the time being..."
Pretending to be tender is still effective—of course, he is really tender. After all, he is only 19 years old, and everyone present is at least ten years older than him. harmonious.
It wasn't until the interview was over and the Li family father and son left that some of them realized that they didn't seem to have asked anything just now.
Well, now that I know the names of Li Chengming and his son, as well as their general situation, based on this, I can quickly find out their information in China - it should not be possible to lie to them, after all, it is easy to expose them.
But this kid...
"It should be his father who taught him, right? I think that Mr. Li is very calm, and it doesn't feel too simple."
"This kid is very interesting. No matter whether he was taught by his father or not, don't you think he has a very cheerful personality? We saw it in the audience before. He communicated with the coach and teammates a lot. The language must be lacking. No problem, this character is also very good."
These words are easy to remind people of the United Arab Emirates. After all, many people know that Yao can integrate into the team so quickly. In addition to the external environment, his personal wishes are also very important.
But Yi Di's character is too dull, at least from their interviews, I feel that he didn't communicate much even when he was in a domestic team, so how can he adapt in the NBA?
Fortunately, the Bucks selected him with a lottery pick, and they will definitely train him seriously. As long as he can fulfill his talents, he will definitely have no problem gaining a foothold in the NBA.
Li Chengming, a domestic unknown, can play in the summer league. Isn't it easy for me to be in the NBA?
On Li Chengming's side, the father and son checked the content of the interview just now to confirm that there were no omissions, and Li's father sighed: "So it's no wonder Mr. Chen often said that dealing with the media is like fighting. Can't relax at all."
Li Chengming asked strangely, "Who is Mr. Chen?"
"Your father and my boss, haven't you met his girl, she is in the same department as you."
"Oh, you mean Yao Mingyue? Her last name is Chen..."
Father Li rolled his eyes and said, "Children don't need to know so many things..."
Li Chengming covered his head and muttered: "You want to say it, but you didn't make it clear, so you blame me?"
Li's father is 1.8 meters tall, and Li's mother is 1.7 meters tall. Who knew that such a "freak" as Li Chengming would be born.
Now his father can't easily hit him on the forehead, but he still often has conditioned reflexes, and every time he sees this, Li's father's expression is naturally much softer, and he said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, The team will know about your performance today.
"But don't be proud, and keep working hard in the future. Mr. Smith hasn't given you a contract yet, so he definitely wants to see your Summer League performance to make a decision..."
"I see!" Li Chengming nodded heavily, not only for the contract, but also for the completion of the task.
