Luo Tianrui is 28 years old this year, and his family has been urging him to marry his girlfriend as soon as possible. But what about the house? What about cars? If you don't have a house or a car, how can someone marry you!

Although he has always had a stable relationship with his girlfriend, his girlfriend still has his mother-in-law at home. Although he came out of the countryside and was admitted to the "211" key university in the imperial capital, he couldn't stand the pace of the times too much, and his undergraduate degree was no longer good. If it weren't for his excellent performance in college, he wouldn't have this job now?

It's a pity that now it looks like this job is going to be lost.

Luo Tianrui is a Chicago-based reporter for Basketball Herald, China's largest basketball print media. Chinese basketball fans should be familiar with "Basketball Pioneer", and Su Qun, the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, must be no stranger. "Basketball Herald" was founded by Su Qun in 2004.

Four years ago, Luo Tianrui, who had been in the "Basketball Herald" for a year and did a good job, was dispatched to Chicago, USA by the headquarters as a reporter based in Chicago. I have to say that the "Basketball Herald" has a vicious vision, and the Bulls in 2011 are indeed one of the centers of conversation in the NBA.

That year, Derrick Rose, the star of the Bulls, led the team to the No. 1 record in the league and became the youngest regular season MVP in history. You know, this is only Rose's third season in the NBA, and it is conceivable that in the future, the sky is the limit.

That year, because of the soaring of the Bulls and Rose, Luo Tianrui also ushered in the peak of his career, and his salary continued to rise, and his monthly salary exceeded $10,000 for several months! He also began to calculate how soon he would be able to buy a house in Beijing, or would he simply immigrate to the United States?

However, as Rose was knocked down by injury, Luo Tianrui's career also ushered in a cold winter. The headquarters of the domestic "Basketball Herald" also judged from Rose's constant injuries and performance after his comeback that the Chicago Bulls are no longer the focus of news, so they are ready to recall Luo Tianrui from the United States.

Unexpectedly, Luo Tianrui did not come back, but expressed his thoughts to the headquarters: Instead of flocking to Cleveland to surround James, or go to Oakland to interview the "Splash" brothers, it is better to stay in Chicago and watch Rose defeat the opponent after the injury and return to the top, wouldn't it be more newsworthy?

Eventually, he managed to convince the headquarters to stay in Chicago. However, the headquarters only gave him one year.

As a result, in the 2014-15 season, the Chicago Bulls entered the playoffs with a third-place regular season record in the East. This seems to be the fulfillment of Luo Tianrui's idea. Of course, Luo Tianrui was happy, and shouted in his heart: I want to return to the top with Rose this season!

But an accident appeared, and a newcomer was forced to come over to grab the fruits of victory! Luo Tianrui's hatred! It's a pity that he has no power and no background, so he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and finally be squeezed out alive!

It's hateful!

What happened next was as Luo Tianrui expected: the Bulls went smoothly, slashing the Bucks with a total score of 4:2 and rushing into the second round. Next up is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the favorites to win the championship, and the Cavaliers are not a complete roster at this time, they lost interior big man Kevin Love in the first round of the playoffs! This gave Chicagoans a big advantage.

First, he stole a victory at the Cavaliers' home stadium, and then kept his home court, beating the enemy at the Union Center arena to temporarily take a 2-1 lead.

Luo Tianrui didn't even have a chance to watch the third game between the Cavaliers and Bulls at the United Center arena, and could only learn the results of the game by watching the news on his mobile phone. Before the start of the competition, he had already boarded the plane alone and responded to the call of the domestic headquarters to "return to China to serve the country after further study abroad".

In fact, he was forced to have no way out by the guy who grabbed the credit.

Since you can't stay here anymore, let's go back, maybe there is still a chance, and the headquarters will not forget it.

Luo Tianrui could only think so.

He flew straight from Chicago to Beijing, where he wanted to relax, and then go to meet his girlfriend, whom he had been separated from for a long time, whom he had met in college and who had stayed in Beijing to work.

After getting off the plane, he didn't leave right away. He was in a mess, wandering aimlessly through the halls. Then, he saw someone who was somewhat familiar.

Out of instinct, he took out his camera, adjusted the focus, set the composition, and took dozens of pictures in a row.

He looked familiar, shaking hands with a tall young man, who seemed to have just met, and there were two people, a man and a woman. The young man was really tall, and his qualities as a sports journalist immediately made him aware of something unusual. With such height, you can't be a basketball player, right?

Basketball?

Luo Tianrui immediately remembered the person who looked familiar with basketball as soon as he associated it. It turned out that he was an elite member of the famous "Yao Team"! When he was a college student, he once read an interview about this person, what was his name?

Week......

Zhou Mu!

That's right, he is Zhou Mu!

Luo Tianrui finally remembered who the familiar person was, although he was very capable in the industry, but after all, it was not an industry exposed to flash like basketball players, so Luo Tianrui couldn't recognize it at a glance.

However, when he happily wanted to go over for an interview, Zhou Mu had already taken the tall young man through the security check, and it was impossible for him to walk over to interview. But he didn't have time to be annoyed, he missed Zhou Mu's big fish, wasn't there a man and a woman who sent them on the plane just now?

He hurriedly looked for the location of the two people, and they hadn't gone far yet, so Luo Tianrui hurriedly chased after them.

With the professional sensitivity he has cultivated over the years as a journalist, he vaguely feels that there must be something surprising in this, maybe this is his chance to turn over!

"Hi-hello, I'm a reporter for the Basketball Herald, can I ask you a few questions?"

Luo Tianrui stopped in front of the two of them, but when he wanted to speak, he saw the lady's delicate face, and he immediately felt amazed. There are also a lot of things that have been seen in the past few years, so he quickly calmed down and began to ask questions, but he avoided the beautiful women who amazed him by asking questions.

As a reporter, Luo Tianrui deals with different people every day, so he naturally has the ability to see people with one hand. When he introduced his identity, the man standing in front of him frowned unconsciously.

Is this a clear antipathy for journalists? Or are you worried that some of your secrets will be exposed?

Thinking of this, Luo Tianrui instantly became excited.

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient for us to accept visits right now."

Lei Ming was also extremely depressed in his heart, Yi Feng went to the United States to participate in the draft this time, and he has always tried to keep it secret. Could it be that someone deliberately revealed the news behind his back? Or did you accidentally say that you missed your mouth?

Either way, it wasn't what he wanted to see. If it puts too much pressure on Yi Feng, once his ability to resist pressure is not good, then this good seedling will be ruined!

So Lei Ming strongly refused the reporter's interview, and left with Tang Ya with a cold face.

Luo Tianrui didn't figure out the situation yet, and then the people walked away......

I'm baked! What's going on?!

Is heaven going to kill me?

No!

Heaven won't give me, I'll take it myself!

Luo Tianrui made up his mind and quietly followed behind Lei Ming and Tang Ya. Seeing that they had gone to the parking lot, he stood at the exit, and with the strong eyesight trained by a competent reporter, he swept over the cars driving out of the parking lot. actually made him discover Lei Ming.

He memorized the car Lei Mingkai drove and the license plate number, and then quickly got into the taxi, stuffed two Grandpa Mao, and asked him to follow Lei Ming's car. Along the way, there was no thrilling scene like in the movie, Luo Tianrui quietly followed the two into Tsinghua University.

The two actually separated after getting out of the car, and Luo Tianrui was entangled in who he should follow. Although he thinks that his tracking strength is no less than that of the paparazzi, he still has a minimum conscience, so he decided to follow the man who refused to interview him. Maybe there is also the worry that the escort team who was stalking the beauty was finally discovered by the beauty, and then it was inevitable that there would be a violent beating.

But soon he found out that he was completely overthinking before, and not long after Tang Ya got out of the car, he actually got into another car. This time she got into the cab by herself, quickly started the car, and left the parking lot. Luo Tianrui was a little far away, and he couldn't see the model and license plate number that Tang Ya was driving.

Lei Ming decided to give Tang Ya, the team manager, a few days off and let her sort out her emotions. Then he went to the stadium alone, and now Yi Feng has gone to the United States, and he still has to study how to play the next CUBA round of 16 matches.

His mind was full of tactics, but he didn't expect a tail to follow. There were also people who greeted him on the road, and he also coped with things, he won the championship when he first came to Tsinghua University as a coach last year, so this year's goal must be to defend the title, otherwise what is the point of him going to the United States for further study? Even if I don't have the genius Yi Feng, I can still lead the team to win the championship!

Lei Ming was determined to prove his strength to the world, and Luo Tianrui, who was following him, was also trying his best to know the identity of the man he was following. Suddenly seeing someone greeting the man on the road, Luo Tianrui suddenly felt that the opportunity had come.

With the strong communication skills he has gained from being a reporter for many years, Luo Tianrui easily got information about that man. It turned out that his name was Lei Ming, and he was the coach of the Tsinghua University basketball team, and he was currently in office for two years, and led Tsinghua University to win the college men's basketball league championship in his first year in office.

I didn't expect to be a basketball coach, and I'm quite capable!

Luo Tianrui was a little surprised, and while continuing to follow Lei Ming, he took out his mobile phone and searched for the news of the basketball team of Tsinghua University. In the century-old famous school in the imperial capital, which has already popularized 4G, the webpage was soon opened, and the homepage popped up with a report from Tencent News:

"The second game of the Northeast District finals: Yi Feng clocked in at halftime, and won Peking University with a 22+10+8 quasi-triple-double!"

I'm baked! This reporter doesn't want Bilian too much, right?! You can get this kind of data in half time, and the gods descend to earth!

Maybe it's because it's a CUBA-level event that doesn't pay enough attention, so there is no picture on the homepage, and Luo Tianrui doesn't know what this Yi Feng looks like.

Since Luo Tianrui has been in Chicago in recent years, and he has not paid attention to China's CUBA, he actually doesn't know anything about Yifeng. may also be because he has been tracking and reporting NBA news, and his vision has been raised, and when his domestic peers say something about the domestic basketball scene, he often doesn't care much.

Therefore, although Yi Feng is praised as the "new hope" of Chinese basketball, he is only slightly popular in China, and even many people who don't pay attention to basketball don't know that there is such a number one person as him. And Luo Tianrui, who is far away on the other side of the world, is even more unlikely to know who his surname is.

Luo Tianrui held a critical attitude and clicked on the news reports of his peers. The first thing you see is a picture of a man gliding one-handed with an empty basket and a smashing dunk, with an astonishing jump and a head almost flat frame.

Peat!

Is there any more temperance?

I actually put pictures of NBA stars in CUBA's game reports!

This level of dunking, in the whole of China, who can do it?

Hey, wait, how is this person's complexion not dark? Could it be a black man with a dark complexion? Or did the editor of the evil website PS this picture? Just to attract a few readers? It's too inhumane......

Why do you feel more familiar the more you look at it?

Luo Tianrui took his mobile phone and began to ponder, but he didn't even notice that Lei Ming was far away. The mobile phone also unconsciously turned the page to the mobile phone, and then saw a picture of a person holding a basketball with a cool expression on his face. Luo Tianrui subconsciously meditated: Handsome, absolutely scumbag, absolutely bad!

Suddenly, his eyes were stunned, and his pupils dilated instantly.

I'm rubbing!

I hurriedly flipped out my camera to see what I had just captured at the airport......

Sure enough, the person who shook hands with Zhou Mu was this, uh, who is this? Luo Tianrui looked at the news carefully, and then typed "Yi Feng" in the search box with a slight trembling -

The first interface that pops up shows Yi Feng's encyclopedia business card, and when you pull it down, it's all about Yi Feng's news. Luo Tianrui clicked on the encyclopedia business card and saw some basic information such as Yi Feng's name, date of birth, place of origin, ethnicity, etc., and then saw something that made him tremble with excitement in the first sentence of the introduction.

Yi Feng, China's No. 1 college student!

How can Yi Feng, the best basketball player of the last CUBA, have a connection with Zhou Mu, the former pillar of the "Yao team"? How did they end up in the United States together? Also choose the time when the CUBA Round of 16 will start? Wait, it's May, May......

Don't?

Luo Tianrui gradually had an idea in his heart, and he sorted out the context of the whole thing a little, which was reasonable, which made him more determined in his guess. However, news reports pay attention to seeking truth from facts, and he cannot make empty words, speculate on his own, and write his own speculation to send out as news.

After making a bold guess, you must carefully verify it. After Luo Tianrui found out that Lei Ming, the coach of the Tsinghua basketball team, had already gone away, he didn't panic, there were so many people on campus, couldn't he ask where the Tsinghua University basketball team trained?

After asking a few people, Luo Tianrui finally found the location of the indoor arena of Tsinghua University. There aren't many people around who look like "idlers", and there's no way to sneak in under the guise of fans watching the team's training; You can't just break in, otherwise Lei Ming will see that all the plans will be ruined.

For now, we have to wait!

After their training is over, and after the players are disbanded, they will leave the stadium and wait for an opportunity to interview. And the players we are looking for are those who are more special. It's not the peculiarity of the outward appearance, but the peculiarity of the behavior. If there are more unsociable people in Tsinghua's basketball team, they will either be the first to walk out of the arena after the disbandment; Either he walked aimlessly with the current, others laughed and scolded, but he did not speak; Either a person alone in the back. It's easy to see anyway.

Luo Tianrui has also practiced a lot of skills like this when he has been a reporter for so many years. If you don't say that it is completely accurate, it is at least nine out of ten, and the younger the object is observed, the higher the accuracy. Because when people are old and sophisticated, they will hide their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and become sleek and no longer naïve.

By ten o'clock in the evening, the basketball team finally disbanded. Luo Tianrui was in ambush for more than three hours, but he waited hard. With some sounds, the players began to come out, and Luo Tianrui got up and took a closer look, observing the players with the help of a telescope, looking for this potential interview subject. Although the lighting in the arena was good enough for him to clearly observe the demeanor and movements of these players, it was a pity that there was no kind of person he was looking for.

Time passed little by little, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Luo Tianrui's forehead, but he still hadn't found the kind of person he was looking for, the kind of person who could dig out the secrets he wanted from his mouth!

Finished.

Luo Tianrui collapsed among the flowers outside the arena - this was his hiding place, and he had worked so hard all day today, and the result was nothing. The mood has experienced ups and downs, the body is tired, and the heart is even more tired.

Getting up and patting the dust on his body, Luo Tianrui, who was about to retreat, suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the wooden floor in the arena. Could it be that there are still people in there?

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

The fatigue on Luo Tianrui's body was gone, and he ran to the stadium with a step. Just now he saw that the coach who refused to interview him had left, so could the remaining young players with strong blood still be able to get out of their "clutches"?

Hahaha!

He couldn't wait to laugh three times to express his mood at the moment!

calmed down in front of the door, Luo Tianrui pushed open the door of the arena......
