Chapter 115, Women's Basketball Press Conference
"Coach, why can't I go to the press conference?" Jiang Yulian asked as she looked at Ji Zhenru.
"Huh?" As soon as Jiang Yulian's question came out, everyone looked at her in surprise.
"I've just chosen a few representative figures among you at random, and we'll all have a chance in the future, hehe......" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"But can't I go to the press conference on behalf of the Chinese team, don't forget who threw the final ball, not Yitong, it's not easy Senior Sister Zhuang is no longer Senior Sister Lin, and I also have fans. Jiang Yulian looked at Ji Zhenru and said.
"In that case...... "Ji Jinru was a little troubled at this time.
"Coach, just let Yulian go for me, anyway, my foot is injured, and it's inconvenient. He Yitong said with a smile.
"But your fans want to see you, it's going to be difficult......" Himejinru said with some embarrassment.
"Coach, otherwise I won't go, let Yulian go!" Zhuang Yan said, "I'm a little tired." β
"That's not okay, you're the captain, it's not appropriate not to go. Ji Zhenru said.
"What should I do with it, coach, can the three of us go up at once?" Zhuang Yan asked.
"In this case, I'll go to the staff to negotiate, you wait. After Ji Zhenru finished speaking, he walked out.
"It's really, it's going to be difficult to be a coach, if you don't go up, you won't go up, why do you have to go up and show your face!"
"Some people are so annoying that they don't understand any politeness. β
"If you make a few good shots, you know who you are, and if it weren't for the captain desperately grabbing the rebound, would she have a chance?"
β¦β¦
All the team members were dissatisfied with the discussion, they were dissatisfied with only one object, that is, Jiang Yulian, Jiang Yulian heard a lot of words, although she was angry in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
After a while, Ji Jinru walked over excitedly.
"How's the coach?" asked Zhuang Yan.
"Great, the person in charge of the press conference is honored to let the three of us be interviewed, and the three of you will prepare later, so that you don't be nervous and speechless. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.
"Hmm!" He Yitong, Zhuang Yan, and Jiang Yulian all nodded.
At the post-game press conference, Yang Zifeng wore a mask, eyes and a hat and walked with Wang Tuo to the fan representative group of He Yitong and Jiang Yulian behind the reporter, intending to watch the post-game press conference.
At this time, the interview with the Spanish team had ended, and I saw Ji Zhenru walking in with Jiang Yulian, Zhuang Yan and He Yitong.
"It seems that your girlfriend is really up,......" Wang Tuo said to Shen Qingzhi in a low voice.
"There are so many fans waiting for her, can she not come up? Even if she doesn't come up, Ji Jinru will definitely force her to come up, after all, I don't know if I can play in the next game, this may be the only time I have the opportunity to meet fans this year. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Looks like you know them well. Wang Tuo said.
Yang Zifeng nodded.
"Now it's a question session from reporters, and the first person to answer the question is Mr. Ji Zhenru, the head coach of the Chinese team!" said the staff at the venue.
At this time, I saw a blonde female reporter stand up: "Hello Mr. Ji Zhenru, I am Fiona, a reporter from British Sports Weekly, I would like to ask you, how did you do something that many old coaches can't accomplish at such a young age to lead the Chinese team to make history and reach the final of the World Championships?"
The first question is a bit difficult, and if you say it, you are likely to offend a lot of older coaches.
"In fact, there are two reasons why I was able to lead the Chinese team to achieve such results, one is that the old coach and the sparring partner of the training camp have worked hard for many years to create such a strong and talented team for me. Second, it was luck, I caught up with the golden age of our team, so the combination of the two has the glory of today. (English)" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"This guy is really talking against his will......" Yang Zifeng said in his heart, in fact, almost half of his words were not right, because he did not take over in the golden period of the team, but after losing to Japan, when it was at a low point, the team that went out of the mountain to take over, Zhuang Yan, He Yitong, Jiang Yulian and Yang Zifeng who were present all knew.
"Thank you!" Fiona sat down.
"Mr. Ji......" At this time, a man in a dark blue suit stood up, "I am Wilson, a reporter for "Basketball Boys" magazine, and I want to ask that after the Chinese team was injured on the 30th, the Chinese team once faced a very difficult dilemma, what method did you use to encourage everyone to defeat a strong opponent?"
"That's a good question, in fact, after Yitong went down, our offensive system did have a big problem, but I think everyone has also seen that our team has a tenacious sense of winning, which can be fully reflected in the captain Zhuang Yan's body, it is precisely because of this tenacious will that we gritted our teeth and survived, plus we killed the wonder soldier Jiang Yulian from the bench constantly impacted the Spanish defense, and the captain's will and the perfect play of the strange soldier encouraged everyone to take out hard work and ruthlessness to win this crucial gameγ (English)" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Wilson walked down.
"Now it's the question session for the players, please ask questions! The first question to ask is Captain Zhuang Yan. Said the staff at the venue.
At this time, many reporters raised their hands.
Seeing so many reporters raising their hands, his long eyes were a little stunned.
"Please!" said the staff member, pointing to an Asian reporter sitting in the first row opposite Zhuang Yan.
"Hello Ms. Zhuang Yan, I am a reporter from Japan, Ami Okita, the Chinese team entered the finals, this is the first time that the Asian team has entered the finals, we learned that in the Asian Championships, the Chinese team and the Japanese team fell into a bitter battle, and in the first round of the competition, the Chinese team also lost to the Japanese team, in the current Asian national team rankings, the current Japanese women's national basketball team ranking is also ranked in front of the Chinese team, so in your opinion, the Japanese high school team in the future can surpass the results of today's Chinese team?" Ami Okita said.
"This question is difficult...... Wang Tuo said to Yang Zifeng in a low voice.
"It's hard to be interesting. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"In my opinion, the Japanese high school team does have a chance to surpass the achievements of the Chinese team today, but it will take a long time to temper, because there is still a gap between the Japanese team and the Chinese team, but the Japanese team has a little advantage over China. (English)" Zhuang Yan said.
"What advantages?" asked Ami Okita curiously.
"The Japanese team can naturalize foreign players, such as Chinese and American players can be naturalized everywhere, but the Chinese team cannot, the current professional leagues of Asian countries, the level of foreign aid and no foreign aid is not the same at all, so it is not very difficult for your high school team to surpass us, as long as the high school game also plans the players, your level will surpass us in the shortest possible time, the traditional concept of the Chinese team is still very strong, and it is not very easy to do this. (English)" Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you......" Ami Okita sat down, but she didn't look a little happy.
Zhuang Yan said it well, it was not polite, but also sarcastic to the Japanese reporter. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Why bother, Tu is quick to talk for a while, not many Chinese athletes have given up their nationality and the name given by their ancestors for fame and fortune, and resolutely changed their names and surnames to join the Japanese team. Wang Tuo said helplessly.
"Everyone has their own aspirations, if their ancestors don't mind, what do we mind?" Shen Qingzhi said.
"Do you think their ancestors wouldn't mind?" Wang Tuo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Zifeng smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"The second person to be asked is Jiang Yulian, a member of the Chinese team!" said the staff member.
More reporters raised their hands.
I saw that the staff chose another Asian reporter.
"Yulian, hello, I am your fellow countryman, from China, my name is Liu Jie. A middle-aged male reporter stood up and said, "Today is equivalent to saying that you finally led our Chinese team to the final with your super ability and perseverance and made history, so what do you think when you throw the decisive ball?"
"Wow, it's still a reporter from my hometown to save face, this question is not very difficult!" Yang Zifeng said.
"Of course, it's one step further, defeat the United States team in the final and win the World Championships!" Jiang Yulian said with a smile.
"Wow!" As soon as these words came out, all the reporters present were amazed, because even the Spanish team, which had often played against the United States team in the finals, never dared to say this, Jiang Yulian actually said it casually.
When Ji Zhenru and Zhuang Yan heard Jiang Yulian's answer, they couldn't help frowning.
"Yulian is so confident!"
"This is determination, rain love is good!"
"It's really worthy of killing Spain"
"Wow!!"
β¦β¦
Jiang Yulian's fans, led by Sun Hao and Lin Yuqin, all shouted excitedly at this time.
"Hehe, in fact, all of us here think that the American team is a crushing existence for other teams, and Yulian's saying this must also be a way to motivate yourself, right, because our overall strength is still a little behind the American team. Reporter Liu Jie wanted to help Jiang Yulian and Ji Zhenru redeem Jiang Yulian's wild words just now.
"No, I'm confident that I'm going to beat the U.S. now, so we'll just have to wait and see. Jiang Yulian said confidently.
"Yay!"
Sun Hao, Lin Yuqin, and they cheered again.
"Thank you......" Liu Jie nodded helplessly and sat down.
"Hah...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......" Yang Zifeng couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
"Zifeng, what are you laughing at?" Wang Tuo looked at Yang Zifeng and said with a smile.
"Tuo, I'm thinking that now Ji Zhenru must be regretting bringing Jiang Yulian over, originally to show weakness to the opponent, which is good for himself and the team's mentality, but I didn't expect Jiang Yulian to stand up here, and now Ji Zhenru's mood must be collapsed...... Yang Zifeng whispered to Wang Tuo.
After listening to Yang Zifeng's words, Wang Tuo couldn't help but smile.
"It's time for Jiang Yulian's fans to ask questions!" said the staff.
"Yulian, we will always support you!!" The fans first shouted loudly, and then, Sun Hao, as a representative, raised the fans' questions: "Yulian, if you score more than 20 points in the next game, can you make a 'love' gesture to our fans?"
"No problem!" Jiang Yulian said.
"Wow!" the fans shouted as they clapped and applauded.
He Yitong also applauded.
The following is the question session of He Yitong. The staff said.
At this time, almost the entire audience raised their hands.
The staff member gestured to a reporter sitting in the back row.
"Hello He Yitong, I'm Gayla, a reporter from the United States, what about today's game, to be honest, there are a few NBA scouts, and I have private information here, many of these scouts are interested in you, I asked a few people, they have a high evaluation of you, although you are not tall, but they said that you are the most likely to join the NBA in this group of teams, what is your mood when you hear this news?
Hearing this, the fans led by Liang Chunyan and Sun Linshan also cheered, but Jiang Yulian's expression was not very good-looking.
"This ...... I really didn't think about it, the NBA...... It feels far away from me, with the Pacific Ocean in between, hehe, I'm still a student, and I don't have enough money to buy a plane ticket to the United States. (English)" He Yitong said with a smile.
"Hahaha......" Many reporters at the scene laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly warmed up a lot.
"Hello He Yitong, I'm Hu Yao, a journalist from China, how long do you need to rest for this injury, and will you be able to play against the United States?" asked Chinese reporter Hu Yao.
Hearing this question, the reporters and fans in the audience fell silent again.
"This ......" He Yitong looked at Ji Zhenru, and Ji Zhenru nodded.
"I'm sorry, but I probably won't be able to go to school, and the doctor told me that my injury will take at least three days to recover and that I won't be able to play any sports for a week. He Yitong said in a low voice.
"That's the case, then I wish you a speedy recovery!" Hu Yao said, and after she finished speaking, she sat down, and many Chinese reporters present at this time showed sad looks on their faces, because everyone knows that the date against the United States is the day after tomorrow, and the Chinese team, which is not as strong as the American team, is missing He Yitong at this time, so the possibility of losing the game in the end is extremely great.
"Yitong, whether you are injured or healthy, we support you!"
"That's right, even if you don't play, we'll cheer for you!"
"Yitong, don't worry, we will support you all the way!"
"You must heal your wounds!"
β¦β¦
Behind him, He Yitong's fans shouted one after another.
Hearing these words, He Yitong was very moved, and saw her holding the microphone and saying, "Thank you...... Thank you for your support...... In fact...... I...... Really ......"
Yang Zifeng noticed that He Yitong's mood seemed to be a little depressed.
"I really want to play...... I'm sorry...... I'll ......" He Yitong finished speaking, sobbed, and then got up and walked to the back of the stage.
All the reporters in the audience were stupid, no one knew what was going on, and they all stared at their peers around them.
Ji Zhen didn't say anything at this time, because he could understand that He Yitong's mood was still good, but when she heard the voices of those fans who supported her, her mood suddenly became extremely bad, because she knew that she still had many people's expectations on her shoulders......
