Chapter 110: Just Don't Shame Me

In a downtown serviced apartment in Los Angeles, the doorbell rings.

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

The man introduced himself: "Hello, I'm John, a reporter from the Los Angeles Sports Newspaper, and I've made an appointment with Mr. Fang to give him an interview today." ”

Assistant Wang brought John in, made him a cup of coffee, and explained: "Mr. Fang has gone to the stadium for training, and he will be back before ten o'clock, please wait a while." ”

John nodded, and the two began to talk casually.

At around 9:50, Fang Zihan came back with Assistant Zhang.

Handsome and extraordinary face, a well-tailored suit, elegant and chic temperament...... Although John has seen Fang Zihan's photos, when he sees the real person, he still can't believe that this is an NBA player with a lot of muscles.

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

"I'm different in the arena. Fang Zihan replied with a smile.

The two sat down on the couch, and John took out a voice recorder and placed it on the coffee table, then took out his notebook.

After a few pleasantries, John entered the topic and said, "Mr. Fang, I heard that your father is a rich man worth nearly 10 billion dollars?"

"That's right!" Fang Zihan nodded.

John asked, "As far as I know, the rich people in China prefer to let their children inherit their own businesses. You have outstanding appearance and temperament, and you can become the most eye-catching noble son in Chinese high society, 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 12th overall pick, and the famous trainer Okodo thinks that missing your eleven teams before this time will be regretted in the future. What do you think about that?" John asked with a smile.

"Okodo is my personal trainer in China and will be my personal trainer in the future, so he naturally wants me to be higher. Fang Zihan said gently: "The NBA is a place where talent gathers, I have only proven myself in the CBA, and being selected with the twelfth pick is already a good starting point." ”

"Who do you think will be your future rival out of all the rookies?" John asked.

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

John picked up the cup and took a sip.

In my heart, I quickly calculated.

Fang Zihan's answer made him not satisfied.

Gentleness, humility, and elegance are his impressions of Fang Zihan.

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

But if it's the interviewee, it's not so good.

What John wanted was an arrogant, sharp-tongued, hotly debated answer.

A rookie with hubris and sharp rhetoric can create enough topics to win more eyeballs.

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

"China's top rich second-generation rookie said that all the rookies ranked above him are waste!"

"China's top rich second-generation rookie affirmed Okodo's remarks, and felt that the teams with the top eleventh picks were blind!"

That's what John wanted to write.

No matter how bad it is, it's not bad to say something grandiose!

"China's top rich second-generation rookie is full of self-confidence and thinks he is qualified to be the best rookie of the season. 》

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

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

John put down his coffee cup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Fang, in the Clippers, in addition to you, the point guards are Beverley and Rivers, do you think, the three of you, who will become the main point guard of the Clippers in the new season?"

'I think that's something that the manager has to decide. Fang Zihan pushed the ball back.

John asked: "Beverley dares to fight, and the defense is good. Rivers' ability to handle the ball is okay, his shooting percentage is not bad, and he is also the son of the head coach. Which aspect does Mr. Fang feel he has an advantage over them?"

"We've been in contact with the team training for the past two days, and it's actually better and more accurate to ask my teammates what are my strengths. ”

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

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

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

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

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

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

John asked: "Team boss Paul chose to leave the Clippers for the Rockets this summer, what kind of impact do you think his departure will have on the Clippers?"

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

John had a headache, and while trying to think about any more acute questions, he casually said, "Paul is one of the greatest point guards in the NBA, and if he stays with the Clippers, I think he will be able to teach you a lot of basketball skills and experience, right?"

Fang Zihan frowned and did not answer.

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

Fang Zihan suddenly laughed, and he said: "When I said goodbye to the teacher, I asked the teacher, after I arrived in the United States, should I show my sharpness and let the American fans go crazy for me! Or should I be humble and gentle, so that the American fans can see our traditional Chinese virtues! The teacher only told me one sentence -- don't lose my face!"

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

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

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

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

"Okay, I'm a little tired, that's all for today's interview!" Fang Zihan stood up.

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

Are the top rich second generations in China so moody?

Fang Zihan smiled and turned around to leave directly.

"When I came to the NBA, if I still had to learn basketball experience and skills from others, then the teacher would be too shameless......"
