All-Professional Trainer

Chapter 107 Just don't embarrass me
In Los Angeles, in a hotel-style apartment in downtown, the doorbell rang.

Assistant Wang went to open the door. Outside the door stood a man in his early forties, wearing a brown jacket and carrying a green backpack.

The man introduced himself: "Hello, I am John, a reporter from the Los Angeles Sports News. I have made an appointment with Mr. Fang to do an exclusive interview with him today."

Assistant Wang led John in, made him a cup of coffee and explained, "Mr. Fang went to the arena for training and will be back before ten o'clock. Please wait a moment."

John nodded, and the two chatted casually.

At about [-]:[-], Fang Zihan came back with Assistant Zhang.

A handsome face, a well-tailored suit, and an elegant and unrestrained temperament... Although John has seen Fang Zihan's photos, he still finds it hard to believe that this is a muscular NBA player when he sees him in real life.

"Mr. Fang, I think you are more like a young and extraordinary nobleman than an NBA player." John said truthfully.

"The me in the arena is different." Fang Zihan replied with a smile.

The two sat down on the sofa, John took out the recording pen and put it on the coffee table, and then took out the notebook.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, John entered the topic and said, "Mr. Fang, I heard that your father is a billionaire worth nearly ten billion dollars?"

"Yes!" Fang Zihan nodded.

John asked: "As far as I know, the rich and powerful in China prefer to let their children inherit their careers. With your outstanding appearance and temperament, you can definitely become the most eye-catching noble son in the upper class of China. Why did you choose basketball as a career?"

"Because I love basketball, and because I have a father who is willing to support me unconditionally." Fang Zihan explained.

"You were selected by the Clippers with the [-]th pick. The famous trainer Okodo believes that if you miss your eleven teams before this, you will regret it in the future. What do you think about this?" John asked with a smile.

"Ocodo is my personal trainer in China, and will be my personal trainer in the future. He naturally hopes that I will be ranked higher." Fang Zihan said gently: "NBA is a place where talents gather. He has only proved himself in the CBA, and being selected with the [-]th pick is already a good starting point."

"Of all the rookies, who do you think will be your future rival?" John asked.

"Being an NBA rookie has its own characteristics. No matter what the future holds, I just need to be myself." Fang Zihan dismissed this question perfunctorily.

John picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

In my mind, I quickly calculated.

He was not satisfied with Fang Zihan's answer.

Gentle, humble, and elegant, this is his impression of Fang Zihan.

If you want to make friends, this kind of person is undoubtedly a good choice.

But if it's an interview subject, it's not so good.

What John wanted was a pompous, sharp-tongued, debate-provoking answer.

Only a rookie who is arrogant and sharp-tongued can create enough topics and attract more attention.

Coupled with Fang Zihan's image, nationality, age, and his status as a top rich second generation, once the report comes out, it is bound to arouse huge repercussions.

"China's top rich second-generation rookie claims that all rookies ranked above him are trash!" "

"China's top rich second-generation rookie affirmed Okodo's remarks, and felt that the teams holding the top [-] picks were all blind!" "

That's what John wanted to write about.

No matter how bad it is, it’s not bad to say something bold!

"China's top rich second-generation rookie is full of confidence, thinking that he is qualified to be the best rookie of the season. "

"China's top second-generation rich rookie is full of confidence, claiming that within five years, he will definitely be selected for the All-Star lineup. "

Only this kind of news can be the news that readers love to watch and are willing to pay for.

John put down his coffee cup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Fang, in the Clippers, besides you, the point guards include Beverly and Rivers. Who do you think will be the new season's star of the Clippers?" The main point guard?"

"I think this should be a matter for the head coach to decide." Fang Zihan pushed the ball back.

John followed up and asked: "Beverly dares to play and fight hard, and he defends well. Rivers' ability to hold the ball is not bad, and his shooting percentage is not bad. Moreover, he is the son of the head coach. Mr. Fang thinks he is better than the Do they have an advantage?"

"We have been in team training for the past two days. We have already been in touch. The question of what advantages do I have? Actually, it is better and more accurate to ask my teammates."

Fang Zihan still didn't answer directly. He knew what John wanted to hear, but he was not interested in cooperating.

If it's in China, he doesn't mind saying something bold or sharp to send the other party away.

Now that he has just arrived and is labeled as a Chinese player, he has to take care of his image to some extent.

Among the traditional Chinese virtues, there is no such thing as arrogance.

John changed the subject: "You have been in Los Angeles for a few days, can you talk about the city of Los Angeles and the Clippers team?"

Fang Zihan nodded and said: "Los Angeles is a beautiful city. There are many stars I like here. The Clippers are also a very good team. The atmosphere in the team is very good. I like those teammates."

John asked: "Paul, the boss of the team, chose to leave the Clippers and switch to the Rockets this summer. What impact do you think his departure will have on the Clippers?"

"Paul is a great player. His departure is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Clippers." Fang Zihan said without thinking.

John had a headache. While trying to think about whether there were any more acute questions, he said casually: "Paul is one of the greatest point guards in the NBA. If he stays in the Clippers, I think he must Can you teach you a lot of basketball skills and experience?"

Fang Zihan frowned, but did not answer.

"Mr. Fang, what's wrong with you?" John looked at him in bewilderment.

Fang Zihan suddenly smiled, and he said: "When I said goodbye to the teacher, I asked the teacher, after arriving in the United States, should I show my sharpness and make the American fans go crazy for me! Or should I be more humble and gentle, so that the American fans You’ve all seen our Chinese traditional virtues! The teacher only told me one thing—don’t embarrass me!”

John's eyes were full of confusion, he didn't understand Fang Zihan's meaning.

Fang Zihan said lightly: "In this world, except for the teacher, no one is qualified to teach me how to play basketball."

John was dumbfounded, he looked at Fang Zihan in disbelief.

Is this the humble, gentle and polite gentleman just now?

"Okay, I'm a little tired, let's end today's interview!" Fang Zihan stood up.

"No, Mr. Fang..." John was a little anxious, he didn't know how he had offended Fang Zihan.

Are China's top rich second generations all so moody?

Fang Zihan smiled, turned and left directly.

"When I come to the NBA, if I still want to learn basketball experience and skills from others, then the teacher will be too embarrassing..."

　Thanks for the reward from the angel with broken wings, O(∩_∩)O~...
