The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 18 Chen Mo's Support

When Chen Mo appeared on the sidelines, he could even hear the fans calling him.

Chen Mo waved his hand with a smile, and beside him, a middle-aged man was holding a microphone and preparing for an interview.

That's right, Chen Mo has already had the opportunity to be interviewed, and because there are not many media in the warm-up match, the media will definitely surround him when the official match starts.

"Chen, it's a pleasure to see a wonderful performance by you."

"Thank you."

"Let's talk about UCLA first. What do you think is the goal of this year's team?"

"We don't have a certain goal, we just want to keep moving forward."

Of course there are goals, as long as the game is played, who doesn't want to win the game?
It's just that UCLA is not favored by people today. After all, it only entered the top 32 last year.

Under such circumstances, if you insist on saying that the goal is directly to the championship, it will only be regarded as a joke.

Most of the talk was about the UCLA Bruins, coach Steve's comments, and Kapono's situation...

"Kapono will definitely participate in the draft this year, how about you?"

"You know, my name isn't on the draft projections yet, so I'm not sure."

"I think your name will definitely be on the next draft prediction."

"hope so!"

To put it bluntly, the current Chen Mo has not really attracted the attention of scouts.

What's more, this season's NCAA has just started, so he doesn't need to worry at all.

"Can we talk about Yao Ming?"

It was a good talk at first, but when the conversation changed, he wanted to talk about Yao Ming again.

Because in yesterday's game, Yao Ming's performance was still bad, and he only scored 5 points on 1 of 2 shots. Fortunately, he got 7 rebounds.

However, as the No. [-] pick, this obviously does not meet the expectations of fans and the entire NBA.

No, some people have already started labeling him as the champion of parallel imports.

There is no way, for foreign players, especially Yao Ming who took away the No. [-] pick, if you say that you have no prejudice, you are definitely lying.

The only good news is that the reporter did not rush to ask questions, but asked Chen Mo in advance.

"OK, of course no problem."

After all, Yao Ming was the No. [-] pick and received a lot of attention. For Chen Mo, this was a good thing.

What's more, he knew that Yao Ming would succeed, and that day would not be too far away. As a compatriot, he naturally wanted to support Yao Ming.

"Everyone is saying that Yao Ming is the champion of parallel imports, what do you think?"

"Of course not, you know, he came to the United States very late, and he just hasn't adapted to the NBA yet."

"But everybody says so."

"That's because they haven't watched Yao Ming's game, otherwise they wouldn't have such an idea. As for some people, they are just creating topics."

"You mean Charles Barkley?"

"No, I'm not referring to a specific one, I'm just saying that everyone needs a topic of discussion."

"Then do you think Charles Barkley will lose or win the bet?"

"He's going to lose, it doesn't even take too long, I think it will be decided this month."

"Oh, you trust Yao Ming so much?"

"Of course, in fact, I watched Yao Ming's game, and if you watched it, you would think the same as me."

"is it?"

"It must be like this. In fact, I'm more curious about another thing now."

"what's up?"

"If Charles Barkley loses, will Kenny Smith take off his pants on the air?"

Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help laughing. It's really hard to say who is more unlucky in this matter.

On TNT TV, Barkley always gives people a feeling of constant bombing, but Kenny Smith is very cunning, because he fuels every topic.

Sure enough, when this report appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.

Because UCLA looks promising, several Los Angeles media reprinted this article.

It's just that everyone's discussion was obviously wrong. Everyone wanted to know if Kenny Smith would take off his pants in the live broadcast room and let Barkley kiss him.

Even Barkley said excitedly during the live broadcast, although he really wants to see Kenny take off his pants, but if you want me to kiss his ass, then let me die!

Unfortunately, the more you resist and suffer, the more excited the fans will be.

"Good news, Yao, that compatriot of yours expressed support for you!"

Early the next morning, Bill Duffy walked in happily, but it was a pity that Yao's team was still lifeless.

Last night, Yao Ming played well, got 24 minutes of playing time, and the statistics are not bad.

8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block. Compared with the previous disastrous performances, this game is not bad.

However, this result is still disappointing, not only the fans, Yao Ming is even more disappointed.

Only Yao Ming himself and the entire Yao team understand how much he has paid for playing in the NBA.

Zhang Weiping was also a national player before, and even won the World Championships in scoring. After retiring, he gave a commentary.

As early as a few years ago, he came to the United States to report the news of the NBA. He is considered to be an early contact with the NBA in China.

No, Yao Ming's joining the NBA as the No. [-] pick is naturally a matter of great attention in China, and CCTV is no exception.

Zhang Weiping moved from Los Angeles to Houston. In addition to reporting on the NBA, he also reported on Yao Ming.

In order to facilitate the work of Yao's team, Yao Ming bought a house on purpose, and Zhang Weiping had no place to live for the time being, so he came here.

Seeing everyone's lack of interest, and obviously not on the same channel as Bill Duffy, Zhang Weiping hurriedly said.

"Mr. Bill, what's going on?"

"It's Chen, is that the name? He's a star player at UCLA. During an interview last night, he expressed his support for you."

"Chen? UCLA?"

Although Yao Ming's personality is very optimistic, he is also under a lot of pressure. He is naturally a little surprised to hear that someone in the United States supports him.

"That's right, it's Chen, this year's UCLA seems to have a good chance..."

After Bill Duffy explained carefully, several people realized that there was a Chinese compatriot who played in the United States to support Yao Ming.

"Chen Mo? Is it the college student league in the United States?"

After all, Zhang Weiping reported on the NBA in the United States, so he is naturally very clear about the situation in the American basketball world.

"The NCAA is the highest level of basketball competition in the United States besides the NBA.

Although it's just a college student league, fans' enthusiasm for the NCAA is no worse than that of the NBA.

The NCAA finals were held in March. At that time, even the NBA would give way to NCAA games. The entire month of March was also called March Madness. "

"So exaggerated?"

Zhang Mingji, the team leader of Yao's team, was a little surprised, not only him, but also everyone else.

"That's the exaggeration, except for gifted high schoolers who skipped college.

NBA stars basically come from the NCAA, including Jordan and O'Neal, who used to be NCAA stars.

Although it is only a college student league, the NCAA stars are no worse than some NBA stars in terms of attention.

It is said that those who have graduated from school for decades will travel thousands of miles to watch NCAA games. "
