Chapter 525: Speechless
As Xiao Ran asked rhetorically, Raglan suddenly became dumbfounded, and his face was full of embarrassment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yes, there are 1.4 billion people in China, and there are few outstanding basketball players, but one Xiao Ran made the United States team suffer the only defeat in the Olympic Games.
On the contrary, in the sport of table tennis, no one in the United States can really compete with Chinese athletes.
However, Raglan obviously didn't want to give up this topic just like that, and then said: "Mr. Xiao Ran, your answer is very one-sided, first of all, the Huaxia team was able to reach the finals, it was because of your personal ability, but the other members of the Huaxia team, I'm afraid they can't even sit on the bench in the NBA, compared to the 1.4 billion population, this is too low!"
This kind of question is actually easy to answer and difficult to answer.
However, Xiao Ran already had the answer in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. reporter, first of all, I want to tell you one thing, although our Chinese population is large, the number of registered professional basketball players is only more than 3,000, that is to say, our professional basketball players in China are only 3,000 in total, although we have a population of 1.4 billion, but not all of these 1.4 billion people play basketball, so my answer is not one-sided, but your question is one-sided!"
Then, Xiao Ran said: "In our Huaxia, education and sports are separated, compared to the United States, the level of the main topic must be much behind, this is like two legs, our education and sports must cooperate with each other to develop, otherwise one leg will be unbalanced, and we are already slowly changing!"
"And this change is gradually having an effect, I believe that in the Olympic Games, there should be the most intuitive performance, we have more and more gold projects, more and more experience!"
With Xiao Ran's explanation, Raglan's face became more and more ugly, and he originally wanted to be in danger of Xiao Ran, but he didn't expect to be resolved so easily by Xiao Ran.
Faced with embarrassment, Raglan rolled his eyes and said again: "Okay, but many people in the basketball profession do not agree with Yao Ming's ability to enter the Hall of Fame, as far as I know, you Huaxia also has this kind of voice, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
Xiao Ran stared at him pityingly and said, "First of all, I'm really ashamed of your knowledge, as a reporter, can you be a little more literate when asking questions, don't talk nonsense like a fool." ”
"I'm going to break it with you today, well, you don't know what it is. ”
"The Hall of Fame is not the NBA Hall of Fame, but the Smith Hall of Fame! While the NBA's achievements are indeed part of the criteria for entering the Hall of Fame, they are not all of them! He is facing all the people in the world who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of basketball, for example, many NCAA coaches have also been selected, do they also have NBA honors, and David Stern, does he also have NBA honors? Nike founder was inducted, is he a basketball player?"
The full name of the NBA Hall of Fame is the Smith Hall of Fame, and he doesn't just look at NBA career stats.
Yes, that's right, Yao Ming didn't win a championship in the NBA, but that's more of Van Gundy's pot!
Van Gundy's pseudo-joint defense is used well, but Yao Ming and Maddy were directly used by him, and in the era of offensive scoring, it is difficult for pseudo-joint defense to get a championship ring.
Xiao Ran's explanation directly made Raglan speechless, and the reporters on the scene couldn't help but applaud.
Yes, the main achievement of Yao Ming to enter the NBA's Smith Hall of Fame is to establish a basketball bridge between Huaxia and the United States, which suddenly opened up the basketball market in Huaxia.
This, coupled with his dominance on the inside in his heyday, made him a member of the Hall of Fame.
After the interview, Xiao Ran went to the hospital for follow-up treatment as soon as possible.
The jaw wound cost him three stitches.
It is worth mentioning that when Xiao Ran was in the hospital, Feng Ping rushed over in a hurry.
New York and Cleveland are not close, Feng Ping can come at this time, it must be as soon as Xiao Ran is injured, and the meaning of care is very obvious.
For Feng Ping, a rich girl, a girl who doesn't care about everything, this kind of performance is the first time Xiao Ran has known her.
When he saw Xiao Ran again, the anxious expression on his face couldn't be faked, and his mouth was full of complaints, which made Xiao Ran smirk all the time.
For this reason, Feng Ping kept rolling her eyes at him.
Intimate WeChat contact appeared again......
Xiao Ran's injury was not a major injury, and it had no impact on the next game.
It is worth mentioning that the Nets' next opponent is the Spurs!
The San Antonio Spurs are a professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas.
Its predecessor, the Dallas Bushes, was founded in 1967 and joined the National Basketball Association (ABA), moved to San Antonio in 1973 and changed its name to the Spurs, and joined the National Basketball League (NBA) in 1976.
It is currently part of the Southwest Division of the NBA's Western Conference.
From the Twin Towers era in '99 to the current GDP period, the Spurs have always been in the top three in the Southwest Division, and only once in third place, most of the rest of the time in first place, and they have also achieved the feat of winning ten consecutive years for eight consecutive years!
The Spurs were one of four teams in the original ABA league that remained intact after the ABA merged with the NBA in 1976, and were the only team in the original ABA league to win an NBA championship.
Since 1976, the Spurs have won five NBA championships, six Western Conference championships, and 21 conference championships.
Only four times failed to make the playoffs!
The Spurs used four lottery picks to select Elvin Robertson (7th pick in 1984), David Robinson (1987 No. 1), Sean Elliott (3rd pick in 1989) and Tim Duncan (1997 No. 1).
In the 80s, under the leadership of "Iceman" George Gervin, the Spurs reached the Western Conference Finals in 1982 and 1983.
In the '90s, the "twin towers" of two top picks, David "Admiral" Robinson and "The Rocky Buddha" Tim Duncan, brought the team its first NBA championship in 1999.
In the 21st century, with the likes of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili joining one after another, the Spurs have become one of the most dominant teams in the league.
In 2003, the Spurs defeated the Nets 4-2 in the finals.
In 2005, the Spurs won seven games in the Finals against the Pistons, who are also known for their defensive team system.
In 2007, the Spurs swept the Cavaliers in the Finals to win the fourth championship trophy in nine years, officially marking the birth of the "Spurs Dynasty".
In 2014, the Spurs defeated the Heat 4-1 in the Finals and won the NBA championship for the fifth time, becoming the NBA team with the most championships except for the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ran's idol Duncan is a Spurs player!
