Chapter 28: Interview

The next afternoon, Tiger asked Wolf to pick up Wang Zhizhi, and the two appeared together in a specially prepared hotel for the Clippers, where they made an appointment with CV reporters to record the program. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Here Tiger met for the first time, the basketball commentator who used to watch TV broadcasts, Coach Sun, and the young Su Qun.

Under Wang Zhizhi's introduction, after a brief greeting between the two sides, the recording of the show began, and during the recording process, Tiger and Wang Zhizhi were carried out separately. Su Qun was responsible for the recording of Tiger, Wang Zhizhi and Director Sun together, Tiger talked to the other party in Chinese at the beginning of the recording, which surprised Su Qun, so he asked: "Mr. HSD, I am surprised that you speak Chinese so well, have you studied it specifically?" ”

"You can call me Tiger, everybody calls me that. When I was young, the family took care of my Zhang, is Chinese, she just came to the United States from China not long ago, her cooking skills are great, and my mother's cooking skills are terrible, so I invited her to come to the house, when I was a child, I was very greedy, so I often chased after Zhang, looking for food, and gradually followed her to learn Chinese, but also learned a lot of Chinese culture. Tiger speaks fluent Mandarin and speaks eloquently.

"Huaxia is a very mysterious country, there are thousands of years of cultural heritage, this is really incredible, when I was a child, I have always dreamed, I will have the opportunity to go to Huaxia in the future, Zhang described the garden, the mountains, the Great Wall, the courtyard, I think everything is amazing."

Hearing Tiger's description of Huaxia, Su Qun said with a smile: "It seems that Tiger really knows Huaxia very well, and we also hope that you have the opportunity to come to Huaxia, I think Huaxia fans are also looking forward to your arrival." Now let's talk about Wang Zhizhi, you are teammates now, what do you think of his position on the Clippers, and what are the prospects? ”

"Wang is a very good player, we get along very well, and he promised to bring me Quanjude's roast duck. Ha ha! All right! Actually, I'm a foodie. Speaking of this, everyone at the scene laughed, and the atmosphere of the visit became more relaxed.

"Wang has a soft touch and a super high basketball IQ, which is rare, and he has a very important position in the Clippers. But he still lacks a lot in strength, the Clippers have introduced the most advanced medical team this year, including professional nutritionists, who have developed a set of scientific training and diet plans for Wang, but it will take a long process, and I believe that as long as he follows this plan, Wang will get a big improvement. You know in the United States, many basketball players, pay attention to strength training, take me for example, I started strength training in high school, and I still insist on it every day, the NBA is a muscle collision sport between men, the lack of strength makes him face great difficulties in the game, and now the league has carried out a lot of reforms, if it was in the early 90s, the league's requirements for strength are even higher than now. It will take some time for Wang to gain a foothold in the league, and I know that a lot of people in China are paying attention to him, which is his motivation and at the same time his pressure, he has been working hard, and I hope you can give him some time. ”

When Tiger talked about Wang Zhizhi's question, his expression was very serious, and the questions he answered were also very pertinent, and after Su Qun heard it, he nodded and asked, "What do you think of the current Clippers?" The Clippers have been questioned a lot lately, do you and the Clippers have any response to those doubts? ”

"The Clippers are a young team, and a lot of the players on the team are rookies who are new to the league, including me, of course. We work hard every day, we are hungry to win, we still have a lot of room for improvement and I am sure we will surprise everyone in the near future. As for your doubts, it's because in that game we had with the Lakers, in which Dennis and I teamed up to get Shaq off the court, which I don't deny, and Shaq and I are also very good friends in private, and what happens on the court doesn't affect our relationship, because you know, he's a big guy, he's on the court, and we don't have any chance of winning. There are a lot of people who call me shameless, I have nothing to say, in many people's minds, this kind of behavior may be shameless, but in the NBA, such things continue to happen, everyone's position is different, I only know that I am a player of the Clippers, I can only think from the position of the Clippers, I can't make everyone satisfied, all I can do is to continue to move forward with the Clippers. For the first time, Tiger said in front of the media that he was playing against the Lakers, and now he is less confused and more determined.

In the subsequent interview, the two sides have been conducting a Q&A, Tiger occasionally uses some American humor, so that the whole atmosphere has been good, and at the end of the interview, Su Qun also asked Tiger what he thinks of Clippers head coach Bill Fitch and Rodman.

Tiger used a lot of thanks when talking about these two people, he believes that Bill Fitch and Rodman, in the turbulent period of the Clippers, joined the Clippers, the impact on the Clippers is huge, without these two people, the Clippers are homeless, it is difficult to make a big change in such a short period of time, Coach Fitch's coaching ability, Rodman's role in the locker room, are the key to the success of the Clippers.

Towards the end of the interview, Su Qun really asked Tiger about his views on Chinese basketball as Wang Zhizhi said yesterday.

"Basketball in China? In fact, you know that I am a foodie, and what I know best about Huaxia is food. Ha ha! Chinese basketball, I think it has entered a period of rapid development, Wang was the first to join the NBA, I believe there will be more Chinese players, will enter the NBA league, Huaxia is a big country, there is a large population base, I believe, there must be a lot of basketball geniuses there, with the promotion of basketball in China, I think it will not be long before Chinese basketball will enter the forefront of the world. See my teammates, King! I believe that the level of basketball in Huaxia has reached a very high level. ”

"Our show has also come to an end, and at the end of the show, do you have anything to say to the fans of Huaxia?" After Tiger finished talking about his views on Chinese basketball, Su Qun was also ready to end today's interview.

"Oh! Hello Huaxia fans! I'm a tiger, Tiger hsd, and yours are roughly the Tiger King together! Ha ha! Thank you very much for your support and like us, I hope I can have the opportunity to go to Huaxia to meet you soon, remember to prepare food for me, my favorite is not roast duck, it is dumplings! Preferably stuffed with sauerkraut. Ha ha! Tiger winked at the camera and laughed again.

Su Qun also began to say the closing remarks, and the interview officially ended.
