Chapter 786 Scene 786 I'm the trump card
In the spotlight, with the introduction of NBA Chairman David Stern, one commentator after another appeared like players at the beginning of an NBA game.
"CBS Mark Jackson ~~~" "ESPN ~~~ Reggie Miller ~~~ Steve Cole" "TNT Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson" "ABC Larry Brown ~~"
As the host introduced in a long voice, one by one the star commentators walked out of the passage, and the reporters and stars gave applause, according to the convention, they were all the biggest names and the most reluctant, but when the famous coach Larry Brown was read out, everyone was stunned, is there a more big-name commentator than this famous coach? Could it be Michael Jordan?
The NBA stars and the star commentators were all puzzled because they didn't find anyone left behind the scenes......
At this time, David Stern was heard reading in that low and hoarse voice: "The last commentator of this playoff broadcast, and also our special guest, let us welcome the commentator of Pirate TV, the youngest best director of the Oscars, Li ~~~~~ Le~~~~~~~~~" David Stern dragged a long voice, and the spotlight hit Li Xiaole, who was sitting on the rostrum.
Watching Li Xiaole stand alongside Reggie Miller and Magic Johnson, former NBA legends, looks particularly short, but he gets more attention than all of them.
The audience was in an uproar, and no one expected that this amateur director in the sports world would be a professional ball critic on Pirate TV.
Far away in China, Johnson Scarlett, who was watching the live broadcast of Pirate TV, Ha Ji Won opened his mouth slightly when he saw this scene, and Scarlett even shouted: "Why is Director Li there?" ”
Li Xiaole calmly looked at the shocked, stunned, or ridiculous sports reporters below, and just calmly accepted the baptism of flashing lights, which was the first step in his Olympic plan, to expand the attention of North American sports through the broadcast of NBA games, and he himself is the ace ball commentator for Pirate TV.
David Stern is obviously very satisfied with the publicity effect, for him to come to this business league really need to have a new topic of conversation, after Yao Ming joined the NBA league overseas income has increased significantly, and now Li Xiaole has joined in this way, it is really good for the league, so when the Pirate TV station proposed to let Li Xiaole single ball commentary, he gave the greatest support, and even made him the finale of today.
However, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many people were muttering: "How can you let a layman be a ball commentator, and the finale at the press conference, is Stern old and confused......" "What are you kidding, the film director also came to be a ball commentator, the league is not crazy." "Pirate TV is really good at finding gimmicks, it's really a bottomless way of publicity."
All fellow reporters can see that this is a promotional strategy made by Pirate TV in order to stir up their own sports atmosphere, and they all think that Pirate TV is just doing a death throes, but it is a joke for reporters, but for the NBA stars and these star commentators present, it is an insult, how can the league joke about such an important game!? Kobe, James, Reggie Miller, these people don't look very good anymore.
And the big shark O'Neill smiled even more, hugged Garnett next to him and said: "Ha Luha, this Chinese guy is so interesting, I like him~~"
David Stern also felt the boiling of public resentment, and immediately introduced: "Everyone, you may think that Director Li Xiaole is an NBA layman and has no ability to explain the game, but I can introduce Director Li Xiaole, he is a loyal NBA fan, and he has had the experience of commenting the Premier League in the United Kingdom, and he has predicted many details of football games with a special logical deduction method 'modern deduction', so to speak, he is a very professional academic football commentator." ”
As soon as David Stern finished saying this, there was a laugh below, what? Academic Ball Critics? Modern deduction? Did he think he was making a movie?
A group of sports reporters all raised their hands to ask questions, and David Stern said in Li Xiaole's ear: "You can choose not to answer the live questions, and we'll end it like this." Although Stern verbally helped Li Xiaole build momentum, he actually just thought that Li Xiaole was just here for cross-border publicity.
To know that the greatest star in NBA history, "Flyer" Jordan, once joined the North American baseball league MLB as a layman at the peak of his career, and was specially approved by MLB.
At this time, we must try our best to protect Li Xiaole's image and not let him show his flaws.
Li Xiaole nodded unexpectedly and said, "It's okay, I can answer their questions." As he spoke, he pointed to a tall black female reporter from TNT below, who he had recognized as Reggie Miller's sister, FIBA Hall of Fame player Shirley Miller.
As soon as Shirley Miller stood up, she asked with a slap in her face: "Director Li Xiaole, I know about your deeds in the UK, and I also know that you have predicted the departure of many coaches in the Premier League, but I doubt that this is what insider information you have got, and you tell me seriously, does your so-called modern deduction really work?" ”
The female reporter is obviously fighting for her younger brother, this is a question trap, let Li Xiaole admit that he left a handle first, as a reason to attack him in the future, sports reporters have pricked up their ears, but they know that people in the entertainment industry are very cunning and generally will not be fooled.
"Of course it works, and that's why I'm here for what I do." Li Xiaole did not avoid Shirley Miller's question, and there was immediately a burst of laughter from the scene
"I want to make sure." Shirley Miller also smiled: "To be honest, I have watched your "Sherlock", and I am also fascinated by the reasoning method in it, he can deduce what I have done and what I have experienced...... But do you think this reasoning can be used in complex basketball games? The American audience doesn't want to know if the player slept with three women last night, they want to know the tactics and result ......orientation of the game," the audience burst into laughter.
"Yes......" Li Xiaole nodded on stage: "This method can predict the outcome of the game, because I will shoot a 3D animation movie about basketball next year, so I have done a lot of data research in advance, and I should be able to roughly predict the direction of the game......"
Before the release of "The Legend of the Great Sage" at the end of next year, he also needs a difficult 3D animated movie as a practice and a warm-up in the market, and he needs some NBA stars to cooperate, which is one of the reasons why he is here this year.
The reporters and players on the scene all looked disdainful when they heard this, okay, he finally showed his fox tail, it turned out that after saying so much, he just wanted to promote his movie...... Sure enough, it's a layman who came to join in the fun.
"Okay, since Director Li said so, can I ask you to predict which teams will enter the second round of this year's NBA playoffs?" An ESPN reporter next to him shouted, and many people at the scene followed suit.
Obviously, everyone was very dissatisfied with this layman who used the NBA playoffs to publicize, and everyone wanted to make him ugly, but then something happened that stunned everyone......
"Yes, you can." Li Xiaole, who was holding the microphone, looked at this group of sports reporters with different expressions who wanted to see his jokes, and replied calmly: "In the first round of the playoffs, my speculation is this, the Lakers 4-0 Nuggets, the Jazz 4-2 Rockets, the Spurs 4-1 Suns, the Hornets 4-1 Mavericks, the Celtics 4-3 Hawks, the Cavaliers 4-2 Wizards, the Magic 4-1 Raptors, and the Pistons 4-2 against the 76ers. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaole handed the microphone back to Stern, signaling that his session was over, and the reporters at the scene were stunned, they thought that Li Xiaole didn't understand at all, but this Chinese was able to pronounce the names of the 16 teams correctly, which was not easy, and what was even more surprising was that he not only predicted the result of the game, but also predicted the score...... Oh my God, does this Lee Jesus really think he is God? Not only movies, but also sports competitions feel like they can control ......
This is too arrogant, it is obviously provoking them sports media...... Shirley Miller felt a little confused, was this Chinese too stupid or too confident......
Ha Ji Won and Scarlett, who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet, felt a little dazed when they saw this scene, and Scarlett turned her head and asked Ha Ji Won: "Hey, does Director Li usually watch NBA games?" ”
"See, yes? But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, every time he sees half of it, he says it's boring...... I asked him, and he said which team had already won, so there was no need to look at the back......" Ha Ji Won recalled.
"That means he can really speculate on the outcome of the game." Scarlett got excited.
"I don't know how to do it, he didn't watch the game...... I don't know if he's right. Ha Ji Won shook his head and said, "I don't care about basketball." ”
"......" Scarlett was speechless for a while, and Bai was happy.
The press conference ended in this strange atmosphere, and backstage, many NBA stars were obviously very interested in the Chinese director, and many people came to talk, and O'Neal, a big shark like an umbrella, came over and asked Li Xiaole for an autograph and smiled: "Li, I like your "Life of Pi" very much, but I think your prediction is just nonsense, we will crush the Spurs in the first round." ”
"Shaq, do you really think so?" Li Xiaole looked up at the giant and smiled: "So if my prediction is correct, will you be able to participate in my movie next year?" ”
"Of course you can, buddy, even if you predict wrong, I'm willing to participate~~ You know that I am a natural actor." This big center Ha Lu Ha Da said with a smile, although he thought Li Xiaole was just nonsense, but he was really interested in making movies.
And while the two were talking, another tall figure also walked over, and Kobe, the league's number one star, just nodded to Li Xiaole and said, "I think your prediction is very reasonable, if you don't delay the training time next year, I will also participate in your movie" Then he glanced at O'Neal, and then turned to leave......
"This self-righteous bastard......" O'Neill muttered.
