Chapter 101: Lin Han's first media show
(Ask for recommendations, ask for recommendations, ask for support, ask for support!) )
"Ho ho ho, Lin, you were really fierce in the game yesterday, did you read the newspaper this morning, Ewing was actually concussed by you, you are really amazing"
Early the morning after the game with the New York Knicks, when Lin Han came to the team, almost all the Jazz players turned their eyes on Lin Han, especially Ma Long, who was the leader of the team, and this guy was still dangling a newspaper to Lin Han with a newspaper in his hand.
Since entering the NBA, Lin Han has always had the habit of topping the newspaper, naturally reading the news of major media in the United States early this morning, the game between the Jazz and the Knicks has undoubtedly become the headline of the sports pages of major media today, and most of the media are taking the photo of Lin Han riding on Ewing as the front page photo, and for a while Lin Han became famous again.
Because in addition to exclaiming Lin Han's terrifying ball-handling ability and crazy offensive courage, another point is to criticize Lin Han's 'lethal' ability to kill players, some time ago to get Barkley, and now let Ewing leave the court sideways because of a concussion, he, the Jazz player, has only been in the league for more than a month, and he has already 'become famous'.
Especially when Lin Han was fighting on the court at the time and was chased and intercepted by Knicks players, the Jazz rookie's coquettish running and letting Joe Crawford cover him made most fans in the United States laugh.
It can be said that the day after the game with the Knicks, Lin Han's image in the media is now clear, and those who are willing to praise Lin Han directly praise Lin Han as Jordan's second, Dr. J regenerates, if he doesn't like Lin Han, he will step on Lin Han into a villain who will only play bad tricks on the court, in fact, in Lin Han's heart, except for Barkley's time when he was really bad, this time Ewing's hands really have nothing to do with him, who made this guy think about dying together?
If Lin Han hadn't sat on Ewing's body because of a coincidence, maybe Lin Han's injury might have been more serious than Ewing, and Ewing was only a moderate concussion, and it would be okay to rest for a week or two, and it wouldn't be a big deal.
But anyway, in the game with the Knicks, Lin Han actually fought against the New York gangsters, this kind of deeds definitely made Lin Han's current popularity and attention rise to a notch again, and even David Stern, who has always been a good person in Lin Han's heart, actually spoke up, saying that he was shocked to see Lin Han's watch.
And the shock is now the most intuitive evaluation of Lin Han by the media, experts and fans in the United States, a Chinese, a yellow race, in an NBA game, facing the strongest defensive team in the NBA, almost used his physical talent and athleticism to tear apart the opponent's defense, blocked the opponent's center, rode the opponent's big forward, suddenly cried the opponent's scoring guard, and dumped the opponent's small forward, if it weren't for the Knicks not letting the organizational guard Reaves take care of Lin Han, Lynham is likely to humiliate all five players on the Knicks court in this game.
How is this not shocking? It can be said that Lin Han and the Knicks are more shocked than a yellow man winning the 1oo-meter championship in the Olympics.
Who would have thought that a yellow man would actually play with them in the NBA? You must know that Lin Han's whole breakthrough in the game with the New York Knicks was like a bird's 'beast', and he didn't even have any technical content, and in the end, this guy actually succeeded, can this not make people extremely shocked and crazy?
It's like what Lakers general manager Jerry West said after this game: "Lin disappointed everyone, no one could have imagined that he could reach this height, not even the Jazz thought about it, but he was like a son of God, just like a child of God, so suddenly in the NBA, all the teams that passed him by will be as sad as missing the baptism of God"
At this time, in addition to shock, most of the teams are sad, too sad, the problems that Pat Riley encountered in this game will become a problem for all teams in the NBA, as for the Jazz, whether it is the coach, the players or the management, they are extremely happy.
So on the second day, after Lin Han returned to the team, considering Lin Han's overdraft when he played against the Knicks, Jerry Sloan, who was very strict with Lin Han recently, reduced Lin Han's burden.
However, although Lin Han's mission on the training ground was reduced today, a new mission was added, because Jerry Sloan actually agreed to an exclusive interview with Lin Han.
You know, because of Jerry Sloan's protection of Lin Han, although Lin Han is now the hottest star in the NBA, basically all fans are extremely looking forward to the growth of the rookie.
It can be said that Lin Han's current popularity once made Jerry Sloan very worried, he was not sure whether Lin Han had the strength to carry these reputations, so before that, he had been issuing a media ban on Lin Han, but fortunately, Lin Han didn't care, so Jerry Sloan's ban was very effective, Lin Han did not accept any interviews except for the live TV interview after the game, and was acquiesced by David Stern and the NBA, which almost made many media in the United States or the world crazy.
And after the game against the Knicks, Jerry Sloan seems to have the intention of lifting the ban on Lin Han, and it seems that the Jazz head coach has recognized Lin Han has the strength to have such a big reputation.
Therefore, today, Jazz and Sloan arranged an interview with USA Today, one of the most friendly national media for him, and this is the first time that Lin Han has faced the American media, which also makes Lin Han a little interesting.
When he was working as a small worker at McDonald's, he never imagined that he would one day be the subject of an interview with USA Today, nor did he think that Alex Rock, the editor-in-chief of USA Today's basketball club, would personally go into the game.
This guy was the one who was ridiculed by other peers in the United States when Lin Han was not worth it, and he was ridiculed by other peers in the United States for his draft pick, although from the current point of view, the editor-in-chief of USA Today still underestimates Lin Han.
Therefore, the two have never crossed paths and never knew each other before, but the two have a good impression of each other, so although Lin Han is the first time to accept an exclusive interview with the American media, the atmosphere is also very good, not nervous at all, Alex is indeed very good at creating an atmosphere, Lin Han is almost guided by him to know everything, never say anything, and is extremely relaxed.
Even when Lin Han was asked how he got into basketball, he even laughed and said some of his troubles at Utah Valley Community College.
"Lin, can you tell us how you feel about the Utah Jazz team, now everyone in the world is saying that they are the luckiest people because they got you at a very low price, but there are many people who say that because of your deposit, this team has a lot of contradictions and problems"
What kind of questions to ask in what kind of environment, this is the most basic thing as a reporter, especially in this kind of one-on-one interview with a very harmonious atmosphere, Alex's question is a little sharp, but because of the atmosphere he created before, this question is not impossible, so after Alex Locke asked, although Lin Han was a little stunned, he still answered with a smile.
"I don't think Utah is the luckiest person, I think I'm the luckiest person, maybe you're all mistaken"
After Lin Han finished speaking, he saw that Locke was a little stunned, and then smiled and said: "Utah is a very beautiful place, I have lived here since I was a child, this is my hometown, I knew that there were many teams that wanted to find me at that time, such as the Lakers, etc., but after getting the invitation of the Jazz and Mr. Sloan, I turned down all the invitations, and now it seems that my choice is right, Jerry, Carl and John trust me very much, and I got an opportunity that a low-pick rookie could not get"
"And, I really didn't expect that there would be so many fans in Utah to support me, I really didn't expect that the fans here are so passionate and crazy, and every qiē here makes me feel like a dream."
"Whether it's Mr. Miller or Mr. Redden or Coach Sloan or Carl and John, they've been very nice to me, I've been lucky to play here and we have no problems with our team, especially since Carl and John are some of the greatest players in the NBA."
After Lin Han finished saying with a smile, Locke also nodded slightly, although he knew that Lin Han did not have an agent, but this made him unbelievable, because Lin Han did not look like he did not have an agent, this little guy was not like a person who was considered by other media to be arrogant and low IQ, on the contrary, this jazz rookie gave Locke a feeling of extreme peace and sophistication.
And what surprised Locke even more was that in many of the next questions, the Jazz rookie answered so that he could not find any flaws, this kid is simply a natural master of language.
If Lin Han knew what Locke was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh three times, jokes, he is a person who even coaxes Ma Jianma to obey, and he is too smooth to talk about people when he sees people talking about people.
"So, the last few questions, Lin, now everyone is saying that you are Jordan No. 2, you said, Jordan is your idol, so do you agree with the statement that Jordan is No. 2? Like it, or hate it? ”
This is a very interesting question, because everyone knows the answer to this question, and Locke has no expectations for Lin Han's answer, no one wants to admit that he is the second to a certain player, even if that player is Jordan, the reason why this question is asked is actually that this visit has come to an end, and for today's gain, Locke is already very satisfied, because he has a deeper understanding of Lin Han, which allows him to judge more clearly what Lin Han's future looks like.
Of course, just as Rock imagined, Lin Han's answer to the question of Jordan second was no different, and the Jazz rookie didn't seem to want to be called second either.
Although Jordan has been away from the NBA for two months, there is still a question that must be answered for all players in the NBA, and the other players have answered, only Lin Han has not, but now he can ask.
"Finally, Lin, why do you think Jordan left the NBA?"
After Locke asked, Lin Han was also stunned again, what do you think of Jordan's departure? What can you think, this guy will come back sooner or later, the reason why he left is not forced by your group of media, don't you all already know? This question also made Lin Han extremely depressed, because the sooner people return to this question, the more they can say, it is already December now, and many things have become clear, what can be said?
"Why did Jordan leave the NBA, well, I think, it should be that he saw me coming to the NBA."
After thinking about it depressedly, Lin Han said with a slight joke.
It's just that what Lin Han didn't expect was that he was indeed making a joke, but at this time, Locke, the editor-in-chief of USA Today, who was sitting opposite him, even dropped the pen in his hand after Lin Han finished speaking, and the other vassals on one side of USA Today, the tabloid reporters who were listening on the side, and the recording and camera reporters were all stunned, and these guys were all excited after waking up from their stunned thoughts, and their eyes looking at Lin Han were like hungry and thirsty resentful women.
