Chapter 309 All-Star Start?
"Hello, ma'am, what's the secret to raising your son so well?" ESPN reporters were still good at digging news, and when they caught Chen Guixiang, a middle-aged woman who seemed quite outgoing, they started asking questions.

Chen Guixiang's spoken English is not very good, because she usually lives in Chinatown and lives in a Chinese-inhabited area, and she usually speaks Mandarin everywhere, so she has few opportunities to speak English, so she doesn't slip away.If her oral Chinese level is level 10, her oral English level should not exceed level 4 at most.

But I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running. After so many years in the United States, Chen Guixiang can smoke even if he smokes it. It is no problem to say a few words.It's just that this is her first official interview, so she seems a little cautious.

"No... no secret, just... work hard! Reporter friends, you know, it is not easy for our Chinese children to play basketball in the United States to become famous." Chen Guixiang still tried her best to finish the sentence.For her, this difficulty is not small, and the interview is done in English.

"It is said that Kane's family is in Los Angeles. Do you want him to play in Los Angeles in the future?" The reporter continued to ask.

Just as Chen Guixiang was about to answer, Xie Kai who was on the side immediately took up the conversation: "Sorry, I'm still a player of the Memphis Grizzlies, so it's not convenient to answer this question."

Chen Guixiang was startled, she was almost surrounded by this reporter.This interview is really not as simple as fun, but also full of traps!

Next, Xie Kai answered a few more questions, while Chen Guixiang kept silent.She's not stupid, she says too much and makes mistakes, her son is her treasure, and she won't cheat her son just because she wants to be interviewed.

After the interview, Chen Guixiang patted herself on the chest with some fear, and said to Xie Kai: "Are all American reporters asking questions so directly and tricky?"

Xie Kai nodded: "Yes, in order to write articles to gain attention, the reporters must do everything possible to dig out news that everyone is interested in, so they sometimes ask some players about life, and they will also ask about the future. plans and other issues."

"Then I will be interviewed later!" Chen Guixiang felt a little scared.

Xie Kai nodded: "Just try not to pay attention to those reporters."

In the news after the game, the content about Xie Kai VS Kobe was not as much as expected before the game.Neither of them played particularly well, and it wasn't these two who decided the final direction of the game.

Of course, today's media has higher and higher requirements for Xie Kai. In their opinion, the data of 19+7+7 is already his poor performance. In a sense, this requirement has completely Reached the standard of an All-Star player.

Xie Kai also felt that the media is not as picky about him as it was at the beginning, and everyone suddenly tolerated him, which made him a little puzzled.For this reason, he also called his big brother Yao Ming on the phone.

Yao Ming said with a smile at the time: "This phenomenon is very normal in the American sports world. For foreign players like us, especially those of the yellow race, it was not just other black and white players in the league who wanted to exclude us and look down on us. Even those in the media felt that we couldn’t survive there. But when we survived and might become All-Stars, the media began to blow us up again. At this stage, their inclusiveness is the strongest. But Once you become an All-Star or a superstar, they will have higher demands on you, and if you fail to meet their expectations, they will blackmail you."

Under Yao Ming's explanation, Xie Kai finally understood why he received less criticism from the media at this stage.Probably, they regard themselves as candidates for the All-Star.

After finishing the game with the Lakers, the Grizzlies will return to the home court to prepare for the next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder entered the playoffs last season with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. This season's current record is 23 wins and 12 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.Their record shows that this talented team has gradually realized its talent into combat effectiveness.

The current situation in the West is not clear. The old Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks all have good strengths, but none of them have absolute talent to suppress the Thunder.The Thunder's current problem is that once they enter the playoffs, they will probably suffer a disadvantage due to their lack of experience in the playoffs against these old and cunning teams.

However, the advantages of the Thunder teammates are also obvious, that is, the talent is too good, the impact is too strong, the punch is afraid of the young, and the teams composed of veterans are also afraid of their unreasonable and unreasonable youth team.

Westbrook and Xie Kai are good brothers, so he called the day before the game.

"In your home game, you have to put some water!" Westbrook joked when he came up.

Unexpectedly, Xie Kai refused directly: "No, your record is so much better than ours, it should be you who let the water go!"

"But it's at your home court!"

"I do not care."

"Forget it, if you don't release the water, you won't release the water. I said Kane Xie, have you been paying attention to the All-Star voting? Are your votes about the same as Chris Paul?" Westbrook reminded.

Xie Kai didn't expect this, but he did seem to hear Arthur saying something like "two Chinese All-Stars starting" yesterday.

Although Yao Ming was injured for the season, there is no suspense that he was selected as the starting center. The Sharks are old and the monsters are on the east coast.

So the other "Chinese", is it me?

Combined with what Westbrook said today, Xie Kai was sure that the two were talking about the same thing.

"It doesn't matter if you start first or not, as long as you can get in!" Xie Kai said calmly.

"It doesn't matter, don't give it to me, I want it very much!"

"Okay, I'll leave my words here, if I'm selected as the All-Star starting guard, I'll let you!" Xie Kai said decisively.

Westbrook laughed: "Good brother, but, I was just joking."

On January 1, the Grizzlies played against the Thunder at home.The Thunder currently have an excellent record, and there are many young talents in the team, so the attendance rate of the FedEx Arena in this game is very good.

Fans like to watch focus games. The Thunder are currently the strongest in the Western Conference, and they are also a team that fans like very much.

The Grizzlies beat the defending champion away in the last game, which restored some of the home team's fans' confidence in them.The previous wave of losing streaks did disappoint the fans, even chilling them.Everyone hopes that the game against the Lakers will be a turning point for this season, that the team can be reborn and become a truly strong team.

It is not easy to enter the playoffs in the West, at least from last season.The Grizzlies currently have a winning percentage of less than 5%, so the road to the playoffs is indeed a long way to go.
