"Ace, New York Times Interview ......"

"Don't go! Exhausted! Don't go! Liu Mang stuffed his head into his training uniform and couldn't beat him to death.

Liu Mang scored 50 points in a single game, received a lot of attention, rewarded something too much, and the fan base skyrocketed, and the sensation brought this time was no worse than the MVP of the All-Star Game in his rookie season.

But on the media side, it's more exciting than an entertaining All-Star weekend.

It seems to have seen a supernova rising! Just like the rookies who could get 50+ in the previous eight rookie seasons, Liu Mang has become the darling of the media!

Unlike Iverson and Kobe, who also attracted much attention in their rookie years, these two have unruly personalities and have a bad relationship with the media.

And Liu Mang has always had a good relationship with the media, daring to speak, and being introverted by Orientals, Sven Wen, and deeply favored by reporters who are mainly white, anyway, who is not praised, there is Liu Mang, a rookie whose physical fitness is closer to ordinary fans and counterattacks and rises, I am afraid that it is Shi Lezhi.

Originally, it was supposed to be after Liu Mang returned to Atlanta, and various news interviews would come.

Generally speaking, after all, the Eagles are in consecutive away games, and the team doesn't give too many interviews.

But the next opponent of the Hawks is the Wizards!

As soon as the Eagles arrived in Washington, D.C., they received a large number of requests for interviews from well-known television stations, sports magazines, weekly magazines, and more.

Some of them, such as Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine, had to participate, one of these two was the leader of the sports magazine industry, and the other was the leader of the entire news industry and the first group of news newspaper veterans in the history of the world.

These two must be accepted, and there is no good fruit to eat if you offend these two.

Therefore, on the afternoon of March 3, Liu Mang just arrived in Washington, and he was interviewed by Sports Illustrated, and in the evening, he was dressed in a suit by the team staff, memorized a lot of official answers, and was intimidated by Coach Kruger to answer the arranged answers, because Time magazine had already given the Eagles all the questions to be asked......

Actually, Liu Mang is not so exclusive to being interviewed, who doesn't want to be famous, he may not care very much, but there is nothing bad about being famous, he can't be famous, and it's not bad to make money.

But this kind of interview is really tiring!

The next morning, I accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN, which had a good relationship, and it was a press conference at noon, and Liu Mang couldn't stand it.

What the New York Times is coming this afternoon!

It's not a cheat! Come back!

Time Magazine is divided into many editions, among which the American version of Time Magazine and the New York Times are a business group, the former is a professional interview, and the latter is a periodical.

Time Magazine mainly reports on very influential people and events, and Liu Mang has almost begun to have that trend now, just like Da Yao in the second year of the NBA, it has also caused a sensation in the United States, of course, Liu Mang came faster and more sensationally than Da Yao.

The New York Times has a lot of miscellaneous issues, covering everything, and one issue of the journal includes entertainment, sports, politics, and even agricultural and sideline news.

But even if the types are very different, it's a group! Nima, you just have to make do with it! There are also two interviews!

I can't even go to the death!

There's also a game with old Jordan in the evening, buddy, you have to save your strength to watch God!

Compared with the previous two leading media, friendly partners, and daily press conferences, the New York Times is indeed not on the same level as the previous four, and Justty Kyle, the press officer of the team, saw Liu Mang crying and stuffing his head into his training uniform, and he couldn't bear to listen to it, a rookie under the age of 20 is just those old fritter superstars who have been dealing with the media for many years.

One day I will get used to this kind of life, how much ability I have, how much responsibility and attention I have to bear, and the road to superstardom has to bear a lot more than I imagined.

The interview with the New York Times was not so important, and the Eagles management felt that Liu Mang pushed it, anyway, the relationship between his rookie and the New Yorkers was not good.

Although they are both two major magazines owned by the New York Television Group, the American edition of Time Magazine and the New York Times have always been at odds.

Time magazine also professes the pride of the original Time magazine in London, the pride of the empire on which the sun never sets, even if the New York Television Group bought the ownership of Time magazine in North America, but this department is relatively independent and has always looked down on the New York Times.

The New York Times also doesn't look down on Time magazine, the leading boss that is beginning to decline.

The New York Times will definitely not say too many good things about Liu Mang, and the interview is just to gain a wave of popularity.

As for Time Magazine, it has been unhappy with the New York Times for a long time, and it is specifically against the New York Times, and most of the questions given in advance are beneficial to Liu Mang, so it wants to disgust the New York Times and increase sales in Asia by the way......

……

In the Wizards' away locker room, everyone else went to be interviewed for interviews, and greeted people who knew the opposing team, leaving only Liu Mang, who wanted to hide from reporters and hide before the game started.

Why are there so many interviews here in Washington?

It's not because this is the political center of US imperialism that almost all the larger TV stations, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals have reporters stationed here, so those reporters who can't push off the Eagles' legs can make several interviews with Liu Mang as soon as the Eagles arrive in Washington.

Liu Mang had just finished stretching and lay down on the cot to rest and relieve his burning brain power.

Interview or something, not becoming an old fritter, it's really a torturous thing, it's much more tiring than playing games!

"Bang bang bang, Ace ......"

There was another knock on the door and shouts, and Liu Mang subconsciously responded: "Don't accept interviews!" Justy, I'm not going to be interviewed today! ”

"Yo yo yo, Ace, it seems that the popularity has been very high recently!" The teasing voice continued.

Well? A little familiar, but not the team's press officer, Liu Mang sat up and looked at the door of the locker room.

"Damn!"

Looking at the bohemian and domineering Qiao Shen, Liu Mang quickly got out of bed and stood up.

"Michael, why are you here?" Liu Mang asked in surprise.

"Thank you!" Jordan found a stool and sat down, took out a box with a cigar in it, bit it on his mouth, and ...... Just looked at Liu Mang like that.

"......" Liu Mang took a long time to react, this old guy wants to smoke big brother's cigarette!

It's so ...... Well, big brother smoke for you!

Liu Mang rummaged through the wardrobe, and there was a lighter on the wood......

"Well, I don't smoke, I don't have a light......er," Liu Mang said embarrassedly.

"Uh......" Jordan was stunned, sure enough, he was still a child, and gave his lighter to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang smiled and lit a cigarette for Jordan.

It doesn't matter what face or shame, as long as it is a basketball player who entered the NBA after Jordan won the first three consecutive championships, in front of this basketball god, he is a grade shorter, and he is a senior, the first predecessor in history.

Jordan enjoyed a big brother cigarette with great satisfaction, although it was not as clever as the other juniors, but it was also a good feeling.

At least this rookie doesn't have so many inexplicable eyes!

"It's good not to smoke! I can't quit like I can't quit now. Jordan skillfully spit out a few smoke rings and sighed: "However, Ace, you are too uninteresting, so many reporters don't go to interviews, don't you know that if you don't go, those people will come to chase me for interviews?" ”

Liu Mang was stunned, it seems that this is indeed the case, the basketball players in Washington now, the most popular, aren't they him and Jordan, Jordan, as the first person in North American sports, even if it is another ten or twenty years, he is also the most valuable athlete in North America and even the world.

"But you kid is really good, you can actually get 51 points, I didn't get it back then, I don't know if the No. 8 kid who imitates me all day long will be angry to death." Jordan couldn't help but laugh as he thought of something as he spoke.

"Unexpectedly, I finished the game and saw that I had scored more than 50 points." Liu Mang was still very modest in the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence changed: "I didn't expect me to be so strong, maybe in another ten or twenty years, Michael, your record will be surpassed by me." ”

"Huh?" This time it was Jordan's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Haha, then should I play a few more years to increase my total score a little more and make it a little more difficult for you?" Haha......"
