I just play ball

Chapter 194 Top Gun
As Ke & Yang raised questions one after another, the half-hour interview was successfully completed.

After being reminded by the staff, Yang Yi stood up eagerly: "Xiao Yue, the future of Chinese basketball will depend on you and Alian. I will go back and sort out the materials immediately, and promise to write an article that inspires fans all over the country."

"Your media is also an important force. The revitalization of basketball requires more publicity and good publicity." Li Yue said sincerely, "Those articles for clicks and topicality, such as 'a little smile to win the trust of the coach', I hope there will be no more in the future. "

"Don't worry!" Ke Fan said decisively, "I can't guarantee other places, at least we can do it in Sina internally. We will never do that kind of thing that eats human blood..."

Ke Fan continued to talk, but the staff interrupted, and Li Yue pointed to the door: "I'll see you off."

"Hey, you're too polite. Sit down and have a good rest, and get enough energy to fight the day after tomorrow." Yang Yi said, "I will go to the scene to cheer for you. If you have time, I hope you can sign a copy for my friend." name."

"That's right, that's right, you sit down, we can go by ourselves." Ke Fan agreed.

Li Yue nodded slightly, and still sent the two of them to the elevator entrance, waved goodbye before returning to the room.

Just sat down, the phone rang again, and the team spokesman Blake called.

"We have already arrived. There are people everywhere who want to get your autograph. You should stay in the presidential suite first. After resting for half an hour, we will leave for the Oriental Pearl Tower and attend the welcome dinner in the evening."

Li Yue kept it in his heart, hung up the phone, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, and the staff quietly exited the room.

At the welcome dinner, you will definitely meet many important people. Li Yue will go through everything in his mind first, who will say what and whether it is necessary to speak, so as not to make any mistakes. Although he is not afraid of offending people, it is best to avoid it as much as possible.

...

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, the reminder bell rang, and Li Yue set off to the fifth floor to meet his teammates.

"You are like the supreme king here." Nick Young joked as soon as we met, "Look at who they are, they surrounded the entire hotel, except for a few people holding Kobe's photo, the others are all your fanaticism fan."

Hearing this, Li Yue walked to the window and glanced out, and it was really crowded.

"I happen to have something to discuss with you." Li Yue put his arm around Nick Yang's shoulder, "I want to play a few more minutes for the game the day after tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, Nick Yangmeng patted his chest: "I understand what you mean, just pass me a few more balls in the future."

"OK." Li Yue cast a thankful look, walked to the other teammates, raised his voice and volume, and said the whole thing before, and then patiently waited for the reply, deliberately avoiding the eyes of the coaching staff.

"You can play however you want, we will cooperate with you [-]%." ​​Kobe was the first to speak, "You have made a great contribution to the team, and you deserve this privilege. What do you say?"

"Yes!" Nash nodded in agreement, "Every time you attack, you wait in the frontcourt, and I will bring the ball to you."

"You can save energy on the defensive end," Gasol said. "Put people in and I'll deal with Landry."

"Yes, you can attack with all your strength and offer a visual feast to your compatriots," Landry said.

After saying this, the whole team subconsciously looked at the coaching staff. D'Antoni shrugged and spread his hands: "Our dynamic offensive system has achieved preliminary results, and the preseason results are not affected. We can relax a little for one or two games. You can do it yourself."

"Then I would like to thank everyone first." Li Yue clasped his fists and bent slightly. Although no one regretted what he said when he opened fire infinitely after the match started, doing that would be tantamount to using hegemony, which is completely different from this form of negotiation. "I will also Find opportunities to send assists, or run without the ball to score, and everyone will not always accompany me to run back and forth."

After the words fell, the eyes of Beasley and other non-guaranteed players lit up, and D'Antoni and other coaching staff members also nodded in satisfaction. This arrangement is considered the best plan. The main players can reduce their playing time and get a good rest. Non-guaranteed players can Given the opportunity, Li Yue himself can fully perform, which can be described as the best of all three.

After the discussion, the whole team set off. As soon as the bus pulled out of the hotel parking lot, a bunch of fans gathered around to cheer and shout, and the occasional "Kobe" was very clear in the tide of "Li Yue".

About 10 minutes by car, the entire Lakers team arrived at the building in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower, accompanied by staff, took the elevator to the high-level viewing platform, lined up for a group photo, and finally took a group photo.

After taking the photos, everyone was interviewed by the media. Li Yue's room had the most people, at least twenty.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yue asked them to ask a few more questions first, and then picked the key points to answer.In order, the first question was from Southern Weekly, the second was from Global Times, and the third was from Phoenix News.

"As the host, what Chinese culture will you introduce to your teammates?"

"Will you take your teammates to eat hot pot? Will you teach them to speak Mandarin?"

"How do your teammates say it's here? How does it compare to Los Angeles?"

For three consecutive questions, Li Yue was completely dumbfounded. Why are they all about foreigners and are you so interested?

"No introduction needed, I have other things to think about, next question."

The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Li Yue waved his hand, and the staff stepped forward and took the microphone away.

That once thought that the questioning in the future still revolved around 'teammates', as if worried that foreigners would look down on Shanghai and dislike Chinese culture, and desperately wanted him to explain, Li Yue was so angry that he almost walked out of the meeting.

Enduring it until the end, Li Yue went out to find the Chinese temporary agent: "All the reporters inside are blacklisted, and they are not allowed to attend my press conference in the future. If those media want to interview next time, they must first submit a question outline Check it out for me, if the question is out of plan, it will be permanently blocked, what the hell."

...

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the trip to the Oriental Pearl Tower ended.

The whole team returned to the hotel to change their attire, preparing to attend the official welcome dinner hosted by the NBA. As the host and the core player of the Lakers, Li Yue had the most special status, so he specially chose a white suit of Romon brand.

Arriving at the venue Roosevelt Steakhouse, Li Yue stood at the gate, welcoming the guests with David Stern.

After being greeted by various smiling faces, Yao Ming arrived, and Li Yue left his post to find a corner to chat with him.

"Before I came, I saw the news in the WeChat group. With you joining us, our strength will be greatly enhanced." Yao Ming said a little excitedly, "I really didn't expect the men's basketball team to capsize in the gutter, and I was so angry. .”

"I didn't expect that either." Li Yue sighed. Losing to Taiwan's BEI team in the Asian Championships was too painful. "If I knew it, I would have rushed back to participate. If we want to participate in the World Cup next year, do we have to play in the wild card competition?"

"Well, the top management is currently making preparations. Originally, the mainstream view was to give up, but you may change your mind if you join us." Yao Ming said, "I will notify you as soon as I have the latest news."

Li Yue nodded, knowing that this is the truth. First of all, the wild card competition has to compete with 4 teams including Turkey, Russia and other strong teams for 50 spots. This budget, in addition, is that the time for the wild card competition is close to the Asian Games, and the time is relatively tight.

"Please tell them that I have the confidence to lead the team to achieve good results in the World Cup, don't give up."
