"We all know that in the summer you chose to resign from the Suns and came to the Lakers. Now that the Suns rank first in the league, many people think you made a wrong choice. How will you respond to this? .” Standard ESPN interview style, very sharp, very sharp.

"The direction of the tree is determined by the wind, and the direction of life is determined by myself. I chose the Lakers because I believe that I can get a better opportunity when I come to the Lakers. The Suns are very likely to win the regular season championship, but I will definitely be able to play in the Lakers. This year, make it to the playoffs!" Ke Yan said firmly.

Ke Yanyu was not astonishing, he directly predicted that the Suns, who ranked last in the league last season, were likely to win the regular season championship. This news was enough to cause an uproar.Although the Suns have won five games in a row, at this stage, most media people use words such as "dark horse" and "upset" to describe them. Ke Yan directly said that they are the favorites for the regular season champion team, it seems that it is too early to say.

As a professional sports reporter, Xu Yi keenly noticed that when Ke Yan talked about the Suns, his tone was more firm without any doubts. On the contrary, when he talked about the situation of the Lakers, he was more certain. It seems to cheer yourself up, but it doesn't seem to be full of confidence.

"The insiders may know more~" Xu Yi guessed.

As a coach, he must see more from his perspective than media reporters and fans.After a short exchange, Xu Yi also noticed that Ke Yan had the character of "not counting victory, counting defeat first".

Of course, this did not prevent Xu Yi from admiring Ke Yan. The interview lasted until evening. With Ke Yan's cooperation, Xu Yi probably got enough material to write a report with tens of thousands of words.

"OK, thank you for your cooperation, Kimi. You are really the most talkative person in the industry I have interviewed." After checking the material, Xu Yi also left such a "good person card" for Ke Yan.

"It's okay, thank you very much, I hope that this interview can clarify some things for me." Ke Yan looked at his watch, "It's getting late, why don't we have dinner together?"

Whether it was in Houston or Phoenix, Ke Yan rented directly at the home of a Chinese landlord, and had many exchanges on a daily basis.After coming to Los Angeles, I passively entered into a solitary life, and as time passed, I was still a little lonely.It was a rare opportunity to catch a Chinese person, and Ke Yan took advantage of the opportunity to send out an invitation.

Xu Yi is also a media person who has his own column, and if he gets along well, he can give himself a better publicity.

"(⊙o⊙)..." Xu Yi hesitated, but the time was convenient, and he didn't mind having more contact with Ke Yan, it was subconsciously reserved.

"Listening to your accent, you should have worked in the United States, and you should know that working alone in the United States is quite lonely~" Ke Yan shrugged, and showing weakness properly can stimulate women's instinctive motherhood and desire for protection.

Ke Yan's judgment is very accurate. Xu Yi is at ESPN, and indeed has a one-year training experience in the US headquarters. However, ESPN, as a media giant, is also created by employees who spend a lot of working time burning their own efforts.During the year Xu Yi studied in the United States, he worked an average of more than 14 hours a day. In addition to commuting on the road, he fell asleep every day when he got home, and rarely talked to anyone except for work.

I don't have any empathy for Ke Yan's experience, but Xu Yi finally accepted Ke Yan's invitation to have dinner together.

There is a Chinese restaurant near the Toyota Center. It is a modified version of Chinese food with a Western food structure. The taste is not very authentic, but when two Chinese people meet overseas, they really would rather eat some food from their hometown than steak and pasta. , Macaroni, Sandwiches. . . . . .

Although not formal, this restaurant still follows the mid-to-high-end route. The environment is very elegant, equipped with many exquisite private rooms, and the atmosphere is excellent.

It is said that it is a modified version of Chinese food with a Western food structure, because this restaurant is not convenient for ordering, but it is directly included in the set meal according to the structure of Western food.Xu Yi came here for the first time, so she didn't have to worry about anything, Ke Yan made all the arrangements for her.

There are four dishes of cold dishes on the table, pickled radish, peanuts, scallops and small abalone as appetizers.Fresh seafood, with light sauce, full of color, fragrance, refreshing and appetizing.

"Well, it's delicious." Xu Yi praised, chewed slowly with his eyes closed, enjoying the wonderful taste in his mouth, and shook his head at the end.Without the capable temperament of ESPN's white-collar beauty, there is a little more in line with the demeanor of her daughter's age, "It's very thoughtful to choose a restaurant~"

"American Chinese food is like this. Occasionally eating it is very special, and eating it for two days is like throwing up." Compared with Xu Yi's good appetite, Ke Yan's interest in eating is average, and he is more interested in watching the other person eat, and then Chat from time to time.

"Hey, to be honest, tell me in private, which team do you like this year?" Xu Yi lowered his head and looked at Ke Yan, testing the other party's true thoughts.

"Regular season? Sun~" Ke Yan frowned, "What I said in the interview just now was the truth."

"Really so optimistic about the Suns? Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Yi is also optimistic that the Suns can make it to the top four or even the top three in the Western Conference, but she is more optimistic about the Spurs.

"But I don't really want to discuss basketball with girls during the break~" Ke Yan shook his head, "Unless you also tell me something I want to know."

"33, 23, 33." Xu Yi directly reported his measurements as a secret for the exchange.

"The starting five of the Suns, except for Quentin Richardson, can attack with the ball on their own. At the same time, all of them form a very efficient whole around Nash, forming a very strong force for the opponent. Pressing, you have to concentrate on the field to keep up with their rhythm, which is a kind of torture for defenders. No team can be consistent and uniform every time the offense and defense switch. The conclusion drawn after the game with the Suns.

Xu Yi is still a little unclear, so, after all, the Suns' game samples are still very small, and they have only played five games so far.However, Ke Yan's analysis made her determined to release the remarks about "Ke Yan is optimistic about the Suns" in today's interview.The other party has made a prediction and has something to say, so his interview should be respected.

The most popular Buddha Tiaoqiang in the set meal is presented first. It tastes delicious and can beautify the skin. It supplements collagen. It is the most beautiful food for women. Xu Yi drank it twice and was full of praise. It really didn’t waste a single drop. Upside down.

Next is the main meal, roast duck and dry-roasted prawns. There are two pieces of duck meat and only one prawn.

Sure enough, it is exquisite Western-style Chinese food, and the quantity is also touching.

Xu Yi didn't care about these, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Ke Yan, thank you for your hospitality, it's nice to meet you. I hope that next time, you will accept my interview as the first Chinese head coach in the NBA."

"If I become the first Chinese head coach in the NBA, I will definitely save my first interview for you."
